and cook, so he presumably has good capabilities in both areas. His introduction also states him to be a farmer, so it is unclear how much involvement he has with the military. Much like Signe Sørensen, he is often in between jobs. He is Sigrun Eide's second-in-command in the expedition, as they both have much more experience than the other three official crew members. Mikkel was born and grew up on the Madsen family farm. At some point he grew bored with farming and enlisted in the Military. This led to him often having to move around from one assignment to another, which was not helped by his tendency to get fired often. The crew started out by crossing the Öresund bridge and going through the Drogden tunnel past it. After90 years of inadequate maintenance, the bridge was unstable and started to collapse under the weight of their vehicle. The Crew's first mission was to journey to Kastrup, a suburban area outside of the Copenhagen city ruins. Sigrun, Emil and Lalli went inside to explore a building which used to house a library within a community space. Mikkel stood outside to guard and keep Tuuri company. Sigrun and the others found a lot of books, and they brought some out for Mikkel to take back to the vehicle. Mikkel tells Tuuri that she is not allowed to read the books until they have been de-contaminated. Sometime later, the crew inside realized that the building was infected by trolls. Mikkel, stationed outside, realized that it was time to go when he witnesses

the explosion coming from inside the building. He yelled at Tuuri to start the vehicle, just as Sigrun and Emil came out of the building. Even during this time, Mikkel had the presence of mind to ask them where the scout was, who the others had forgotten about. Fortunately, Lalli reunited with them by crashing through an second floor window and falling into Mikkel's arms. After the crew flee to the Cattank and drive away to safety. Mikkle appoints Tuuri to find a safe place for the crew to stay Sigrun excitedly rants that the skirmish was "The Awesomest", surprising Emil into vomitting and Lalli into covering his ears. Mikkel seperates to two, placing Sigrun in a corner to face the wall and decides its best to clean upthe crew. The next morning, the crew camp out at Kastrup Fort where Mikkel berates Sigrun about the choice of books they brought back but states that not all of them are irrelevant as the book that Lalli picked up captures his interest. The book is shown to detail the effects of the The Rash disease on a victim, likely a patient from the hospital how contracted the disease. Mikkel, Sigrun and Tuuri continue to banter about whether the crew is ready to venture further into the city while Emil and Lalli rest in the Cattank. Later, Mikkel is seen outside cooking breakfast for the crew. Lalli soon joins them as Emil complains that it shouldn't take so long for Mikkel to make breakfast. As Mikkel dumps the ingredients into the

pot Tuuri brought, the bottom gives away and the food is sadly burnt, leading him to seek for more food from the Cattank. However, it turns out that their supply of food had been mixed up and they have been left with a surplus of cat candles. He borrows the radio from Tuuri to contact the Västerström company and notify them of their situation to ship emergency supplies for the crew. When they are told that permission for shipment of supplies to the Silent World wouldn't come in time, Trond steps in to blackmail the captain of the Túnfiskurinn into shipping a crate of supplies to them. Mikkel is the expedition's oldest member, as confirmed by the author in a preview blog post. Nonetheless, he's still younger than SivA Tennessee man was arrested after a 3-year-old grabbed his gun and shot his 1-year-old daughter. Shawn Moore, 25, faces charges of criminally negligent homicide, being a convicted felon in possession of a handgun, and tampering with evidence, according to The Washington Post. TONIGHT: A convicted felon is back in jail after a 1yo girl was shot and killed yesterday. Shawn Moore told investigators her 3yo brother pulled the trigger after he left his gun out. More on the suspect's long criminal past on @3onyourside. pic.twitter.com/r6WhulCY94 The shooting happened early Friday morning when Moore was visiting the mother of his infant daughter, Robbin Keefer. He reportedly helped to put the infant to sleep before leaving a handgun on the bed and going into another room. Police say Robbin’s 3-year-old sibling found the

gun and shot her in the head with it. It’s unclear how Moore is related to the 3-year-old. Witnesses who heard the gunshot ran into the room to find the baby on the floor. Moore allegedly grabbed the gun and fled the apartment. When police arrived and found the child injured, she was rushed to Le Bonheur Children’s Hospital where she died from a gunshot wound to the head. Moore turned himself in later that night and was booked into jail. His arraignment is scheduled for Monday. According to Commercial Appeal, Robbin has a familial connection to Laylah Washington, a 2-year-old who was shot to death last year in a chilling unsolved murder. Laylah’s aunt, Crystal Washington, said her oldest daughter and Robbin are sisters. The toddler was shot to death last year during aTrephination (also known as trepanning or burr holing) is a surgical intervention where a hole is drilled, incised or scraped into the skull using simple surgical tools. In drilling into the skull and removing a piece of the bone, the dura mater is exposed without damage to the underlying blood-vessels, meninges and brain. Trephination has been used to treat health problems associated with intracranial diseases, epileptic seizures, migraines and mental disorders by relieving pressure. There is also evidence it was used as a primitive form of emergency surgery to remove shattered pieces of bone from fractured skulls after receiving a head wound, and cleaning out the pools of blood that would form underneath the skull. First Cases of Trephination Evidence for trephination occurs from prehistoric times from the Neolithic period

onwards. The main pieces of archaeological evidence are in the forms of cave paintings and human remains; the skulls themselves from prehistoric times. It is the oldest surgical procedure for which we actually have archaeological evidence. At one site in France, burials included forty instances of trephination from around 6500 BCE; one third of the skulls found at the site. The percentage of occurrences there though is fairly high and percentages largely differ between sites and continents. It is from the human remains found at such sites that we know that the surgery had a fair survival rate. Many skulls show signs of healing and indicate that the patient lived for years after the event, even sometimes having trephination performed again later in life and again surviving theexperience. Remove Ads Advertisement Trephination In Mesoamerica From pre-Columbian Mesoamerica we find evidence on physical cranial remains in burials in addition to iconographic artworks and reports from the post-colonial period. The occurrences are widespread throughout South America, from the Andean civilisations and pre-Incan cultures such as the Paracas culture in Ica in South Lima where burials show signs of trephination, skull mutilation and modification. In Mexico, Guatemala and the Yucatan Peninsula, archaeological evidence dates from between 950 and 1400 CE. The earliest archaeological survey from the American continent published is from the late 19th century CE when the Norwegian ethnographer Carl Lumholtz performed surveys of the Tarahumara mountains. Lumholtz’s publications were the precursor to documented cases from Oaxaca, Central Mexico and the Tlatilco civilisation. From Europe in the Classical and Renaissance periods

early documents from classical Greece and anthropologists' observations of pre-modern people in Peru have shown that the people involved had a knowledge of the risk involved in the procedure. Publications detailing the technique from Mote Alban conclude that there was a process of non-therapeutic experimentation for some time which explored the use of different techniques and sizes of burr hole. Trephination In China Han and Chen have completed a particularly interesting study of the archaeological evidence of trephination in early China. They looked at six specimens from five sites ranging from 5000-2000 BP which showed cranial perforation in prehistoric China. The earliest skull analysed by Han and Chen was the M382 Cranium from Fuikia aite, Guangrao, Shandong. M382 was the skull of an adult male of the Dawenkou culture whichHundreds of Islamic State followers escaped after storming the gates of a detention camp in northern Syria on Sunday after Turkish forces shelled the region – and Kurdish fighters warned more mass breakouts are likely as Turkey continues pressing its military assault. The Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces said around 950 ISIS supporters, including widows, wives and children of the terror group’s fighters, overpowered guards at the camp in Ein Eissa following clashes between Turkish and Kurdish forces. The camp, about 20 miles south of the Turkish border, holds about 12,000 people, including the families of ISIS fighters. The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, a monitoring group based in Britain, said Turkish warplanes began attacking villages in the region on Sunday and some of the inhabitants ran off after fighting broke out

between Turkey-backed Syrian fighter and Kurdish forces. The SDF, which holds nearly 12,000 ISIS prisoners in Syria, said “mercenaries” attacked the camp and members of the terror group moved against the guards and opened the gates. Marvan Qamishlo, a SDF official, told Reuters that the number of guards at the camp have fallen to about 70 from around 700 because the Kurds need fighters to battle Turkish troops. The SDF was a major US ally in the years-long fight to destroy the ISIS caliphate in Syria, losing about 11,000 fighters in the process. Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan moved against the Kurds last week after President Trump gave him a green light by moving US troops from the area – a move that has brought worldwide condemnation and criticism from a bipartisanKings of Leon, one of the most popular rock acts in the world, have cancelled their entire U.S. tour, including a date slated for Saturday, Aug. 13 at the Comcast Theatre in Hartford.

Nathan Cullen, NDP finance critic and MP for Skeena — Bulkley Valley, in an interview on January 14, 2015 Nathan Cullen said that since 2004, 400,000 manufacturing jobs were lost in Canada, 50,000 of those in the automotive sector. This is true, and part of a trend that is not confined to Canada. FactsCan Score: True In a CBC segment, MPs debated whether falling oil prices would require the government to adjust its economic forecast and abandon some promises, such as income splitting, that relied on a surplus. During this debate, Nathan Cullen, an NDP MP, said “400,000 manufacturing jobs have been lost in Canada since 2004 … 50,000 just in the auto sector alone.” Whatever the point he was making regarding a new economic forecast, we’ll only check the number ofjobs that have been lost. Statistics Canada data that is seasonally adjusted, or controlled for regular starts and stops in seasonal work, show that since 2004, about 559,000 manufacturing jobs have been lost in Canada. For the same period, the same data – but unadjusted for seasonal variance – show about 48,000 jobs lost in automotive manufacturing (including parts and vehicle body manufacturing). Another StatsCan data source, tracking numbers for “total automotive industries” from 2004 to 2012 shows a loss of just over 51,000 jobs. Further, a yearly report from StatsCan states: “The decline in 2013 was the latest in a series of decreases since the turn of the millennium. The manufacturing sector lost over 500,000 jobs in the nine-year period from 2001 to 2010. The only two years seeing

(10) Potentially Illiquid Markets, Disruption of Market Trading and Daily Price Fluctuation Limits, Among Other Events, May Exacerbate Losses Of the Fund And, In Turn, The Net Asset Value Of Your Shares. The futures markets are subject to temporary distortions or other disruptions due to various factors, including the lack of liquidity in the markets, the participation of speculators, government intervention and exchange regulation. Futures positions cannot always be liquidated at the desired price. It is difficult to execute a trade at a specific price when there is a relatively small volume of buy and sell orders in a market. The large size of the positions which the Fund may acquire increases the risk of illiquidity by making its positions more difficult to liquidate while increasing the losses incurred while trying to do so.

These payments are called “variation margin” and are made as the existing positions in the futures contract become more or less valuable, a process known as “marking to the market”. Futures contracts are traded on organized exchanges, known as “designated contract markets” in the United States. At any time prior to the expiration of a futures contract, subject to the availability of a liquid secondary market, a trader may elect to close out its position by taking an opposite position on the exchange on which the trader obtained the position. This operates to terminate the position and fix the trader’s profit or loss. Futures contracts are cleared through the facilities of a centralized clearing house and a brokerage firm, referred to as a “futures commission merchant”, which is a member of the clearingFor example, a market participant with a long position in November VIX Index futures that wishes to maintain a position in the nearest delivery month will, as the November contract nears expiration, sell November futures, which serves to close out the existing long position, and buy December futures. This will “roll” the November position into a December position, and, when the November contract expires, the market participant will still have a long position in the nearest delivery month. Futures exchanges and clearing houses in the United States are subject to regulation by the Commodities Futures Trading Commission. Exchanges may adopt rules and take other actions that affect trading, including imposing speculative position limits, maximum price fluctuations and trading halts and suspensions and requiring liquidation of contracts in certain circumstances.

At the close on the Tuesday, corresponding to the start of the Roll Period, all of the weight is allocated to the first month contract. Then on each subsequent business day a fraction of the first month VIX futures holding is sold and an equal notional amount of the second month VIX futures is bought. The fraction, or quantity, is proportional to the number of first month VIX futures contracts as of the previous index roll day, and inversely proportional to the length of the current Roll Period. In this way the initial position in the first month contract is progressively moved tothe Fund will be maintained in segregated accounts in the name of the Fund in bank deposits or United States Treasury and United States Government Agencies issues. Should the Fund trade in the swap markets, the Fund will deposit assets with swap counterparties in order to initiate and maintain swap contracts. Such assets will be held in U.S. governments securities or in cash, for which the Fund will receive interest credits at short-term rates.

Instead, individual Shareholders may only redeem Shares in integral multiples of 10,000 and only through an Authorized Participant. By placing a redemption order, an Authorized Participant agrees to deliver the Baskets to be redeemed through DTC’s book-entry system to the Fund not later than noon, New York time, on the business day immediately following the redemption order date. By placing a redemption order, and prior to receipt of the redemption proceeds, an Authorized Participant’s DTC account will be charged the non refundable transaction fee due for the redemption order. Determination of Redemption Proceeds The redemption proceeds from the Fund consist of the cash redemption amount. The cash redemption amount is equal to thenet asset value of the number of Baskets of the Fund requested in the Authorized Participant’s redemption order as of the closing time of the NYSE Arca or the CFE, the exchange on which the Fund’s futures contracts are traded, whichever is latest, on the redemption order date. The Managing Owner will distribute the cash redemption amount at noon, New York time, on the business day immediately following the redemption order date through DTC to the account of the Authorized Participant as recorded on DTC’s book-entry system. Delivery of Redemption Proceeds The redemption proceeds due from the Fund will be delivered to the Authorized Participant at noon, New York time, on the business day immediately following the redemption order date if, by such time on such business day immediately following the redemption order date,

the Fund’s DTC account has been credited with the Baskets to be redeemed. If the Fund’s DTC account has not been credited with all of the Baskets to be redeemed by such time, the redemption distribution is delivered to the extent of whole Baskets received. Any remainder of the redemption distribution is delivered on the next business day to the extent of remaining whole Baskets received if the Managing Owner receives the fee applicable to the extension of the redemption distribution date which the Managing Owner may, from time-to-time, determine and the remaining Baskets to be redeemed are credited to the Fund’s DTC account by noon, New York time, on such next business day.

THE FUTURES MARKETS Futures Contracts Futures contracts are standardized contracts made on United States or foreign exchanges that call for the future delivery of specified quantities of various agricultural and tropical commodities, industrial commodities, currencies,possible for him to make profits or incur losses regardless of whether prices go up or down. Futures Exchanges Futures exchanges provide centralized market facilities for trading futures contracts and options (but not forward contracts). Members of, and trades executed on, a particular exchange are subject to the rules of that exchange. Among the principal exchanges in the United States are the Chicago Board of Trade, the Chicago Mercantile Exchange, the New York Mercantile Exchange, and ICE Futures U.S. Each futures exchange in the United States has an associated “clearing house.” Once trades between members of an exchange have been confirmed, the clearing house becomes substituted for each buyer and each seller of contracts traded on the exchange and, in effect, becomes the other party to each trader’s open position in the market. Thereafter, each

party to a trade looks only to the clearing house for performance. The clearing house generally establishes some sort of security or guarantee fund to which all clearing members of the exchange must contribute; this fund acts as an emergency buffer that enables the clearing house, at least to a large degree, to meet its obligations with regard to the “other side” of an insolvent clearing member’s contracts. Furthermore, clearing houses require margin deposits and continuously mark positions to market to provide some assurance that their members will be able to fulfill their contractual obligations. Thus, a central function of the clearing houses is to ensure the integrity of trades, and members effecting futures transactions on an organized exchange need not worry about the solvency of the party on the oppositeManaging Owner as a commodity trading advisor were to be terminated, restricted or suspended, the Managing Owner would be unable, until such time (if any) as such registration were to be reinstated, to render trading advice to the Fund.

SMU's James Proche extends for the ball and makes a terrific grab with one hand to set up a Mustangs touchdown. (0:38) SMU is ranked in The Associated Press Top 25 for the first time since the football program received the so-called death penalty for NCAA rules violations in 1987 and did not compete for two seasons. The 5-0 Mustangs entered the poll at No. 24 after winning 48-21 at USF on Saturday. They're off to the school's best overall start since 1983, with three road wins under their belt after also winning at Arkansas State and TCU, which was ranked No. 25 at the time. SMU's appearance in the rankings is historic, considering where the program has been. After returning from the death penalty in 1989, the Mustangs managed onewinning season (6-5 in 1997) over the next 20 years. The program saw an uptick under June Jones in 2009-12, going to four consecutive bowl games and topping out at eight victories. There has been only one winning season since. But under second-year coach Sonny Dykes, the Mustangs are playing their best ball since the Pony Express days of Eric Dickerson and Craig James in the early 1980s. "Given our history, SMU's history, being a very successful program for a long time like it was in the '70s and '80s, and then obviously having the death penalty, it's just been a long climb back," Dykes said Sunday. "I think it probably means more to our fan base and the SMU people than it does to others because it has been a

Blue Rose Caravan Country Park is a family run ‘exclusively for adults’ site set in 12 acres of beautiful countryside in East Yorkshire and is one of only a few sites in the area to have obtained a 52 week licence.

The Japanese population in Hawaii has one of the longest life expectancies of any large population subgroup in the U.S. and the world. Cross-sectional data on 1,379 elderly, noninstitutionalized, male Japanese American survivors of a population-based cohort study indicated the most common health problems were hypertension (43%), arthritis (33%), diabetes (13%), and gout (9%). For cancer and hypertension there is a trend toward higher prevalence in older age groups. For coronary heart disease, stroke, and angina the oldest age group (75-81 years) has a higher prevalence than that seen in younger age groups. Other relatively common diseases such as diabetes, gout, peptic ulcer, and arthritis do not have higher prevalence in older age groups. Drugs

Another Shoah-denier? Hezbollah Secretary-General Hassan Nasrallah urged followers Friday to impart the legacy of Israel's withdrawal from Lebanon similarly to "what Israel does with the Holocaust, whether it indeed happened or not." The Hezbollah leader delivered his televised speech on the occasion of inaugurating a museum commemorating "the victory of the resistance over Israel" in a south Lebanon village. The new museum is modest compared to the "sacrifice and legendary victories," Nasrallah added.

Turkey will launch its own operation to establish a “safe zone” in Syria if talks with the United States fail to give Turkish troops control of the area within a few weeks, President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan said on Saturday. Washington and Ankara have been at odds over plans for the region in northeastern Syria where the US-backed force led by the Syrian Kurdish People’s Protection Units (YPG) militia have been fighting Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant (ISIL). Ankara considers the YPG a terrorist group because it says it has links to Kurdish militants in Turkey.

Mohammad's sister, Razan Mohammad Abu-Salha, was a sophomore at North Carolina State University in Raleigh and was visiting her sister and brother-in-law, according to Deah Barakat's father. Gunshots were reported after 5 p.m. Tuesday in the Finley Forest condominiums in Chapel Hill, east of the University of North Carolina campus. Farris Barakat, Deah Barakat's brother, said Hicks had confronted his brother previously about a dispute over a parking space,adding that he never heard Hicks make any anti-Muslim remarks. When Farris Barakat had visited his brother, Hicks had yelled at him, telling him he was parking in the wrong space, Farris Barakat told ABC News. Farris Barakat added that he tried to respond in a calm manner, not wanting to upset Hicks further, and said his brother also treated Hicks in a respectful manner. Hicks showed up at Barakat and Mohammad's home in the past with a gun on his belt, and Mohammad had confided that she was afraid of Hicks, Farris Barakat said. The two joked that maybe she should get a gun, he added. The nation's largest Muslim civil rights organization, The Council on American-Islamic Relations, requested law enforcement authorities address speculation about a possible bias motive in

A Government inspector has given the green light to joint proposals by Southend Council and Rochford Council to generate up to 6,000 jobs by developing extensive new business park space in the area around the airport. This will be in addition to a further 1,000 jobs directly related to the airport itself. The Inspector approved the proposals after examining a list of modifications put forward by the two authorities in response to feedback from stakeholders.The plan includes policies for developing the airport and new business space, together with environmental enhancements, transport improvements and regeneration proposals.Now that the inspector has given the go-ahead to the plan – known formally as the London Southend Airport and Environs Joint Area Action Plan (JAAP) – both Councils can now put the plan forwardThe University of Technology Sydney has contested the federal government’s claims that its Australia-China institute should be listed on a register of foreign influence agents. Australia’s new foreign influence register, designed to publicly track the role of foreign agents, initially revealed only nine separate entities or individuals when the grace period for registrations ended on Sunday. The register was part of a suite of reforms designed to combat foreign meddling in Australia’s democracy. They included a 9/11 conspiracy theorist, several lobbyist firms working on behalf of foreign entities, and Brendan Nelson, the Australian War Memorial director, who is a member on the advisory board of Thales, a multinational arms manufacturer. The attorney general, Christian Porter, in rejecting criticism of the register’s usefulness, said he expected more organisations to declare themselves in

rejected Porter’s assertion that he resigned from the institute because of the introduction of the foreign influence register. He told the Australian that Porter was wrong and didn’t seem to understand his own legislation. The register is designed to publicly list individuals or entities undertaking activities on behalf of “foreign principals”. Late on Monday, it included Woodside Petroleum, which declared links to a string of exploration companies associated with China, Kuwait and Senegal. The register also listed Shell Australia, which declared its links to companies in Taiwan and Japan. Lobbyist firms Barton Deakin, Hawker Britton and CMAX Advisory all declared their links to foreign clients. The Perth USAsia Centre declared links to the Japanese and US governments.Coco Ho Coco Ho is one of the leading members of a new generation of surfers taking the women’s professional circuit by storm.

KUALA LUMPUR: A bodyguard opened fire on two machete-wielding attackers who slashed a businessman at a roadside stall along Jalan Empat off Jalan Chan Sow Lin here, wounding one of them. It is learnt that the two men attacked the businessman while he was having breakfast at the stall together with another colleague and the latter's bodyguard at 9am on Monday. The stall owner, who wished to be known only as Madam Wong, 50, said the two attackers came waving their weapons and quickly slashed one of the businessmen. "The bodyguard took out his pistol and fired six, seven times at the attackers, hitting one them. "My nephew, who was helping around at the stall, was also hit in the buttocks by one of the bullets accidentally," she said when met atEvery 13 months, Earth and Jupiter have a close encounter. And that's happening tonight. From NASA Science News: Astronomers call it an "opposition" because Jupiter is opposite the Sun in the sky. Our solar system's largest gas planet rises in the east at sunset, and soars overhead at midnight, shining brighter than any star in the night sky. This year's opposition of Jupiter occurs on Feb. 6th. It isn't an ordinary close encounter with Earth (approximately 640 million kilometers), but in Feb. 2015, Jupiter is edge on to the Sun. In a rare coincidence, Jupiter's opposition on Feb. 6th coincides almost perfectly with its equinox on Feb. 5th when the Sun crosses Jupiter's equatorial plane. It is an edge-on apparition of the giant planet that sets the stage for a remarkable series

of events. For the next couple of months, backyard sky watchers can see the moons of Jupiter executing a complex series of mutual eclipses and transits. The eclipses have already started. On Jan. 24th, for example, three of Jupiter's moon's, Io, Europa, and Callisto, cast their inky-black shadows on Jupiter's swirling cloudtops. The "triple shadow transit" happened while Jupiter was high in the sky over North America, and many backyard astronomers watched the event. As Earth's crosses the plane of Jupiter's equator in the weeks and months ahead, there will be many mutual events. For instance, on Feb. 5th, volcanic Io will cast its shadow on Mercury-sized Ganymede, Jupiter's largest moon. On Feb. 7th, icy Europa, home to what may be the solar system's largest underground ocean, will cast itsIn the 1970s, the Hawaiian language seemed poised for extinction. Only about 2,000 native speakers remained, and most were over age 60. Then a dedicated group of advocates launched immersion schools, a Hawaiian radio program, and an island-wide movement to resuscitate the melodious language. Today more than 18,600 people speak Hawaiian as fluently as they speak English. Around the world, other Indigenous languages are experiencing revivals. More and more children are being raised as native speakers of Euskara in Spain, Māori in New Zealand, and Quechua in Peru and Bolivia. Activists are making street signs, public maps, news programs, films, publications, websites, and music available in various heritage languages. Some people are even resurrecting “extinct” languages. In southwest England, Cornish—whose last native speaker died in 1777—was taken off UNESCO’s list

of extinct languages in 2010 and is enjoying a small but proud reawakening, thanks in part to the internet. We live in a pivotal time for language revitalization. More than half the world’s languages are in danger of being swallowed up by dominant languages within this century. In November, the United Nations—which named 2019 the International Year of Indigenous Languages—approved a draft resolution declaring 2022–2032 the International Decade of Indigenous Languages. A growing movement of language activists, cultural stakeholders, and scholars are finding new ways to foster generations of speakers through everything from digital dictionaries to drum circles. These programs are elevating the status of heritage languages in the public eye, providing opportunities for people to connect, and helping marginalized communities address longstanding discrimination. But turning the tide of language extinctionTsaronsere Meilleur, executive director of Native Montreal, an Indigenous learning center in Canada. Many anthropologists and linguists agree that total immersion offers the best path toward fluency, though each community has different needs, and language revitalization goals are best steered by local stakeholders. The immersion method is exemplified by “language nests,” where toddlers and other beginners learn from fluent or semi-fluent elders on a regular basis. One of the first language nests was started in New Zealand in 1982 by Māori elders who worried that their language, culture, and even pride were disappearing. The elders decided to teach children their native tongue through culturally relevant song and play, “like a bird looking after its chicks,” as Māoris say—hence the term “language nest.” The language nest model was so successful it

such as traditional culinary workshops, nature walks, language retreats for adults, language camps for teens, language arts festivals, film screenings, and contests where newcomers and experts can connect with a particular language and cultural group. Arokoyo says radio is also a great community resource for transmitting endangered languages. Owé speakers launched an “Owé on the Radio” program on Okun Radio, a Nigerian station that is broadcast locally and disseminated online for members of the Nigerian diaspora. Thanks to radio’s relatively low cost and ability to provide important local information, Indigenous radio stations are thriving around the world, including in countries with high language diversity, such as Canada. In addition to radio, television is helping languages stay relevant by having a daily presence in the lives of speakers near and far. InWales, a dedicated Welsh language television channel broadcasts hit dramas to the region’s 874,700 speakers. Peru has TV programs dedicated to the Quechua, Asháninka, and Aymara languages. In some places, such as Latin America, launching such community-based approaches can be an uphill battle. For example, a passage in Mexico’s Federal Telecommunications and Broadcasting Law stated that all Mexican mass media channels should be broadcast in Spanish, the national language. In 2016, Mexico’s Supreme Court found that passage to be unconstitutional, ruling in favor of representing the country’s linguistic diversity in Mexican media. The internet can serve as connective tissue that links speakers together over vast distances. The ruling was a victory for Indigenous language broadcasters, as well as artists, writers, commentators, and journalists who create content in Indigenous languages for radio,

Many Turkish directors, screenwriters and producers are taking part this year, including Nuri Bilge Ceylan, one of today’s most acclaimed filmmakers. During the festival, Ceylan's ‘The Wild Pear Tree’, ‘Once Upon a Time in Anatolia’, ‘Winter Sleep’, ‘Clouds of May’, ‘Climates’ and ‘The Town’ will be screened for movie lovers. His "Turkey Cinemascope" exhibition will also be showcased at the Art Gallery of Bosnia and Herzegovina. Ceylan also received the Honorary Heart of Sarajevo Award, which is considered the festival's most prestigious award. "I accept this prize with all my heart," he said, adding he has participated three times in the Sarajevo Film Festival and it is one of his favorite events. Meanwhile, Turkish director Osman Nail Dogan’s ‘The Pigeon Thieves’ will make its world premiere and will compete with nine other entriesin the Feature Film category, with Iranian director Asghar Farhadi serving as a jury member. ‘Release Me’, a co-production between Bosnia and Herzegovina and Turkey about the tragedy of Syrian orphans, will also be screened. Turkish films will also be featured in the "Documentary" and "Short Film" categories. In the Documentary category, they include the film ‘Araf’ directed by Didem Pekun and ‘Titanium’ in the Short Film category directed by Gökçe Erdem. A total of 10 films from Turkey, Romania, Hungary, Germany, Bulgaria, Croatia and Serbia will compete in the festival’s main category.

in civil rights and student struggles, they developed a new identity as radicals and socialists. They repudiated old values, roles, the whole system. Watching the black power struggles demonstrate the meaning of equality and self-determination, women became aware that these values were lacking for women in the Movement too. Male chauvinism was much more glaringly apparent within the radical movement where men gave lip service to equality and self-determination for all humanity and then maintained a division of labor within radical organizations based on traditional sexual roles. Women in the old left accepted these roles as their ‘proper’ subservient supportive positions relative to men, so there was little threat to masculine supremacy within the Movement. However, when the younger generation of women decided that they fell into thecategory of human beings first and women second, all hell broke loose. They became more concerned with their humanity than their ‘femininity’. Indeed, after accepting individual autonomy as a part of their new value system, being squeezed into a stereotyped box called ‘femininity’ appeared as a way of controlling and exploiting women. This was especially true when sex roles seemed to determine a division of labor in the radical organizations. Initially women fought their oppression on a one-to-one basis in their personal relationships with men, then in women’s caucuses, and finally in separate women’s liberation groups. Equality and self-determination meant the right of women to be on policy and decision-making bodies, to compete directly with men for power, power to make and carry out a program to meet

women’s needs. The process leading to the formation of separate organizations based on their identity as women was a direct response to the attitudes and actions of men in the movement. One of the first women to question male chauvinism in the Movement was Ruby Doris Smith Robinson, a young black who was the chief administrator for SNCC. It was her paper, The Position of Women in SNCC, presented at a conference in October 1964 which evoked Stokely Carmichael’s famous remark, ‘The only position of women in SNCC is prone.’ (3) The laughter evoked was sufficient to negate any discussion of the question put forward by the most powerful woman in SNCC. In the case of both groups, Woman’s Liberation and Woman, Inc., specific radicalization as women occurred withinof the rebel caucus and the breakaway to form a new union, the authoritarian bureaucratic leadership of the old International was also designated as the enemy. As some of the men within the union and even the union itself became the enemy, women formally organized a Woman’s Caucus. Because the women had to use the mechanism of the union to fight their grievances, it was essential to win the support of the union men. Tactically this was a much more difficult task than fighting an outright enemy like the companies. Just as the bosses had the profit motive behind their discrimination, so the union men had privileges in higher wages and advancement opportunities based directly on the exploitation of women. For example, Marge Hart, vice-president of Women, Inc., had

applied for a job classified as men’s work. She had seventeen years seniority and as the head of a family she needed the additional income. She was denied the job and instead it was given to a young kid who had been in the paper mill only six months and had no family to support. The degree to which the men would go to defend their privileges against the women was conditioned by the degree to which the women’s demands threatened the very existence of the rebel union and the degree to which they won outside support. In a letter to the Area Trustee of the union in July 1967, a year and five months after they had organized, the women blamed the union contract for the loss ofalong sex lines. It is illegal to add new requirements to a job to prevent a woman from getting it. In their fight to win the support of their union brothers for their struggle against the companies, help came from an unexpected source. An NLRB representation election was to be held between the old internationals and the new rebel union. The old union published an article aimed at winning back the votes of the women. They attacked the AWPPW leadership for not handling the women’s grievances and forcing them to go outside the union for help to the Federal government and the courts. Under pressure and in naked self-interest, the union began to support the women, but only so long as the women kept on fighting. When they slackened,

so did the men. A mediation agreement to give equal pay to women based on the men’s scale was announced in February 1968 which was worked out between the AWPPW and the pacific coast Association of Pulp and Paper Manufacturers in conjunction with the EEOC. The director of the manufacturers’ association said the agreement would result in an estimated $500,000 annual wage increase for the 2,000 women… Women in the pulp and paper industry have historically received less money than men although often working at the same job. The policy has long been a thorn in the side of union locals, and it is a subject which the union’s new president, Hugh Bannister, made a major issue in his recent election campaign. (3) The agreement had to be approvedas secondary wage earners in the family, they should get less than men. They were strongly influenced by the traditional image of women. Some women were scared and insecure. The rumor went around that they would all lose their jobs if the fight continued. Some actively fought the women’s caucus. No one knew the grievance procedure. Some men, including the foreman, started telling the women that if they won equality they would be put on the hardest jobs in the mill, be pushed out the door and men hired in their places and finally that they would be sent to Vietnam. Women’s Liberation In Women’s Liberation the designation of the enemy went through a series of successive stages. Initially the enemy was the older generation, middle class values and norms

a general social movement, less organized and with more general goals. The fundamental goal of Women, Inc. is job security which they still have not won. Initially, before organizing as women, they adopted the goals of the union, essentially economic goals, pork chop issues of wages and hours and political goals such as supporting Democratic Party ‘friends of labor’. When the rebel union organized, additional goals of union democracy, satisfactory handling of local grievances and more militant leadership were added to the earlier goals. Then came the attacks on their jobs. Job security became the crucial goal expressed in a fight to end economic exploitation and discrimination against women by ending male-female job classification, lay-off lists, promotion ladders, and pay differentials. To further the battle against specific formsof discrimination they adopted the goal of broader alliances with other women and organizations. They contacted women in other locals of the AWPPW, testified before the State of California’s Commission on the Status of Women, and attended one of their conferences. They contacted women in the California State Department of Industrial Relations and in the Women’s Bureau of the Department of Labor, and invited other working women to meet and exchange ideas with them. In this way they gained reinforcement in their struggle. They adopted the goal of a two-sided legal struggle, going to the courts after the EEOC decision and testifying at the legislative hearing of the California Civil Rights commission. Such demands might force the labor movement to unify around the lowest common denominator instead of splitting

black become a socialist to join the black power movement or that either movement be limited only to class-conscious proletarians. Yet these movements provide a mileu in which revolutionaries can recruit as consciousness deepens through struggle. Often those women in the Bay Area who are spouting revolutionary rhetoric simply alienate the new apolitical women who are radicalizing first on the basis of their own oppression. Stratification along class lines should occur later, as class divisions deepen in the country as a whole. *** Two final points. The deepening process of radicalization will facilitate the unity of action between the women students and the women workers, the black women and the white women. This unity will have to occur if the struggle for women’s rights is to be successful, because discriminationflows from the concrete material reality of economic exploitation in the production and reproduction of life. Therefore the organization of unorganized women workers, of women’s caucuses in trade unions, and of an all-woman workers national congress to raise economic demands at the point of production is fundamental. Considering production in its broadest sense, including the reproduction of life, housewives and mothers can be organized to end their exploitation by demanding payment (at least at average factory wage levels) for births and paid maternity and paternity leaves, complete socialized child care, not with the inadequate, barren, and poverty-stricken baby-sitting centers we have now but rather with the material and human resources for the full development of the child. The demand for women to gain control of the productive process

groups came organizations such as Black Women Enraged and newsletters for black women such as Women In Action from the Harlem Unemployment canter. Black women from the slums took on the male chauvinism of the black nationalists who cane d on black women not to take the pill as it was a form of genocide. The slum women argued that they would control their own bodies and that was making their revolution and they weren’t going to be used by the men for a power struggle for equality in which equality meant the men on top! These women refuse to accept the Moynihan report which blames the black women for the emasculation of the black man, thereby ‘Whitewashing’ the capitalists and their profit motives and absolving them of responsib1l1ty.are working with Partnership for a New American Economy. Eighty-two percent of Iowa Republicans — some of the most conservative voters in the country — said they favor tougher immigration enforcement, according to the survey. But they also showed support for proposals to increase opportunities for high-skilled legal immigrants to enter the U.S. workforce and streamline the process for employers to hire foreign workers. Seventy-two percent of people indicated allowing foreign-born students educated in the United States to accept jobs in the United States after graduation was "definitely good" or "worth a try." Only 16 percent of likely caucus attendees were solidly opposed to proposals to expand legal immigration.

The group had spent one year gathering signatures from 10 percent of the registered voters in the city and 10 percent of the registered voters in the township. A previous petition drive led by the group failed when a number of signatures were invalidated last year by the elections board.

The Fall in Genesis is the fall into language and time, Adam created language when he ate from the God’s own tree of knowledge. Man became master of things by naming them, “and whatsoever Adam called every living creature, that was the name thereof.” The beginning of humanity’s separation from the world is located at the naming of the world.

considering dividing our permaculture farm in into halves: word and a wordless. Editor's observation: Mr. Burr's essay is profound and worth pursuing into our lives. My belief is that the power of English may rest on the combined force of two aggressive cultures: Roman and Viking. The original English prior to 1066 was not only Germanic but Nordic, due to prior invasions by Viking predecessors into lands to their south. Then the Normans (North Men) who a generation before had been Viking invaders came to England and brought the Roman(ce) language of French. The exactitude of the language combined with elements of English's blunt clarity to give additional nuances for objects and verbs.

Published On Sep 13, 2011 By Ritesh for Renault Koleos Renault India, have launched Koleos, their well known SUV in the Indian market. Coming with the tag line ‘Power meet Pleasure’ this brute 4X4 SUV is part of the mission of the company to redefine its brand identity and establish itself as one of the reputed car makers here in India. Renault is still struggling to get its brand identity, the launches of Logan and Fluence has not really helped and the company has pinned high hopes to Koleos. We had the good chance to drive the French SUV, Renault Koleos and to find out its true virtues on a very amazing road from Bangalore to the enchanting river Kabini. Read on to know all about this very new SUV,Renault Koleos for India. Facts The company Renault has been in the car making business for the last 113 years and that is why their cars well engineered. As for the history of Renault Koleos it was first showcased at the Paris Motor show in 2008. The Koleos that has come to India is the second generation of the original model, and interestingly India happens to be the first country to get this latest generation Koleos, China would be the next destination for the launch of all new Renault Koleos. The Koleos was designed and engineered jointly by Renault and Nissan (Nissan worldwide is owned by Renault). Currently the Koleos is being manufactured at the Renault- Samsung Motor plant in Korea. However, the Indian Koleos is being manufactured at CKD in

blacked out effect. The sides of the Koleos get a deep chiseled bulge that runs across the SUV from the front fender to the rear wheel arch. The wing mirrors are auto folding and are electrically adjustable with the LED turn lights integrated in them. The rear window gets a quarter glasses while there is also a second slopping quarter glass on the C Pillar. The sloping roof line gets the brushed aluminum roof trails. The door handles have sensors placed behind them that can detect the key unit and lock or unlock automatically. The side profile of the Koleos is further enhanced with the sloping rear glass that extends the to the rear bumper. The rear of the Koleos is the profile that we liked the most. Therear bumper is low down specifically to allow the twin opening boot on the Koleos. The rear also gets a skid plate that adds to the rough road package overall. The tail lamps are semi rounded in shape with integrated park and turn lights. The body panel gets some part of the tail lamp while the major half of the light is on the open able tail gate. The rear gets a glossy black body moulding in the center that houses the large Diamond Renault logo and just under it is the KOLEOS monogram that enhances and underlines the name. The rear tail gate is a 60-40 affair, with the top half opening upwards and the lower half opening down wards. You get large stop reflectors on the bumpers

– Cabin Enter the Koleos and you spot the BOSE side step garnish in chrome that welcoming you instantly. The dash is a two tone affair, the top made of soft rubber material in black while the lower half in beige hard plastic. The instrument cluster is a three round dial thing with chrome strip on each dial. The RPM on the left has a red line with the 4.3k mark. The Speedo in the center is calibrated till the 240KMPH mark while the extreme right dial houses the fuel gauge and the engine temperature gauge. There is also a multi display that tells the odometer reading, fuel consumption, fuel used, and next service etc readings that can be toggled with the help of the menu. The steering isboot area. There is loads of space available everywhere in the Koleos with more than enough leg room, head room and knee room. There are many bottle holders and storage bins spread across the cabin. A foldable tray can be deployed just behind the front two seats that can be used as a laptop stand etc. There is 450liters of boot area on the Koleos that van be increased to 1380 liters with the rear seats fully folded when needed. The twin opening boot lid is also very convenient to load and unload luggage. Renault has a tie-up with BOSE across the globe and the Renault Koleos became the first vehicle in India in the sub 30lakh segment to get the acclaimed music system. This is a 300Watt system

much better when in the 4X2 mode. Overall the Renault Koleos is a big winner in the handling and the engine department. The Koleos has a very competent and refined 2.0Liter Diesel engine which is one of the best from Renault stable currently. Safety The Renault Koleos comes with ABS with Brake Assist and EBD. The Renault Koleos has rear parking sensors. Six airbags are standard and so is the anti pinch auto up/down power windows on all windows. Rain sensing wipers and light sensing head lamps is also a part of the Koleos package.

CHICAGO -- After being victimized by the extra tenths of a second added after a replay review at the end of a Game 4 loss to the Cleveland Cavaliers, Chicago Bulls coach Tom Thibodeau says he is in favor of some tweaks to the replay review system moving forward. With the game tied at 84 in the final seconds, play was stopped with 0.8 seconds left in regulation as officials tried to determine, with the help of the NBA's replay center in Secaucus, New Jersey, who the ball went off of and how much time should be left on the clock. When they returned a few moments later, it was determined the Cavaliers would retain possession and an extra seven-tenths of a second would be added to the clock. Bullswere completed. Global warming skeptics used to claim that the models climatologists used were wrong. Much to everyone's surprise, they were right. Unfortunately, they were right in the wrong way: the models weren't wrong because they over-stated the impact of global warming; they were wrong because they so severely under-stated it. We had an inkling 25 years ago, around the turn of the century, when Greenland's glaciers and the Arctic's ice cover started melting faster than anyone had projected. We saw more clues late in the first decade when droughts and heat waves in Europe and Asia lasted far longer than any of the models foresaw. It became obvious to everyone during the next decade, when the IPCC kept resetting the projected arrival of a 3° C increase in average

such an outcome seemed unfathomable. The initial response to global warming, in the late 20th and early 21st centuries, focused essentially on trying not to make things worse. With the most devastating results of climate disruption still thought to be a century away, policymakers hoped that a slow-but-steady reduction in greenhouse gas output would be sufficient. But by the 2010s, with serious dangers looming in three decades instead of a hundred years off, growing numbers of people world-wide saw the gradualist approach as woefully ineffective and demanded that their leaders take immediate action. One of the first widespread responses was panic, which in turn triggered a spasm of military conflicts. Refugees from ecological disaster zones, surging towards those countries seemingly less-affected by global warming, were met by armed force;nations hit by drought or agricultural collapse no longer regarded it as a temporary problem, and some grabbed the water supplies and farmland of weaker neighbors; those places still producing abundant levels of greenhouse gases came under verbal attack at the UN and in the global media, and the world was treated to the surreal spectacle of the United States (greatest per-capita greenhouse output) and China (greatest total greenhouse output) on the verge of coming to blows over which one was the worst carbon offender. Those tensions came to a boil in 2015 when coordinated acts of sabotage took nearly a hundred Chinese coal-fired power plants offline. The Chinese government blamed the U.S. and put its military on high alert; the American government responded in kind. Fortunately, before either

side could launch a preemptive attack, a rural Chinese movement took credit for the sabotage. Beijing was taken by surprise when the resulting crackdown backfired, with some regiments refusing to attack Chinese citizens and others actively joining the movement. A smuggled camphone clip of renegade Chinese military aircraft bombing the nation's largest coal-fired power plant was the top-rated video on YouTube that year. The United States fared slightly better. The Presidency was up for grabs in 2016, with no clear favorite, and while neither of the two major-party nominees denied the extent or source of global warming, each considered the problem less of a priority than issues like health care and terrorism. But the standoff with China, coupled with the onset of the "Second Dust Bowl" in the Midwestand the final abandonment of New Orleans after another in a series of massively destructive hurricanes, led to the surprise victory in the November election of a third-party candidate operating under the "Carbon-Free America" banner. In early 2017, Congress began calling in the CEOs of energy companies for what were soon labeled "carbon trials," and the new President -- a person long in the national spotlight, with a reputation as a bit of a technology wonk -- arranged a series of high-level Carbon Crisis Summits with leading technologists, scientists, and environmental activists around the world. It was at the first of these summits, held in October 2017 at the Rocky Mountain Institute in Colorado, that the President revealed that the Pentagon's research arm, DARPA, had been working on molecular

the world were worried, but not terribly shocked, when the White House acknowledged in late 2019 that the first government-developed molecular fabricator would be delayed until 2022; the same people were surprised and elated when, just a month later, a group called the "Nanofactory Alliance" announced that their first working nanofabrication system would soon be ready to replicate working nanofactories for all of the CCRO working groups, and would be available at a significant discount to any industry or academic group working on reversing climate disruption. Not long after, a UK project (spun off from the landmark 2006 "IDEAS Factory" research effort) announced its own functional prototype nanofab. By the time the DARPA work finally came to fruition, more than a year behind schedule, a dozen different globalcommercial and academic teams had come up with their own alternative systems. During the time between the first Carbon Crisis Summit, in 2017, and the roll-out of early molecular manufacturing systems four years later, the global climate continued to degrade. It became obvious that a third approach beyond the carbon reduction and greenhouse reversal endeavors was needed, and that strategy -- effects mitigation -- soon became the dominant effort. While zero carbon teams worked to drive down the cost of nanopolymer photovoltaic materials (used today on nearly every product that needs power, and quite a few that don't) and greenhouse reversal teams experimented with ways to pull carbon dioxide and methane out of the atmosphere without causing unanticipated problems, the mitigation groups became a new kind of "first responders"

attacks as well. By 2024, these efforts had morphed into what strategist Tom Barnett had identified more than 20 years earlier as a "SysAdmin Force," focused not simply on defeating insurgencies, but stabilizing and improving physical, economic and political conditions of unstable regions. The other two CCRO fronts progressed better than feared, but more slowly than hoped. The low costs associated with molecular manufacturing meant that it was far easier to shift productive industries to a zero-carbon footprint than some pundits had predicted. All new vehicles from the globe's major carmakers were solar-shell electrics, and the building refit business was booming. The economic hit from rapid conversion to low-carbon techniques was milder than anticipated, and the public was now generally ready to accept once-taboo policies such as carbon taxes.Michele Averard and Nestor Kornblum, co-founders and directors of the Spanish and International Associations of Sound Therapy (I.A.S.T.) conduct a number of Sound Healing Trainings and other events, under the name HarmonicSounds, from The Dome Center, their beautiful Retreat and Workshop centre in Alicante province, Spain.

One of most iconic sights in Washington, D.C., is Union Station. Rebuilt in 1988, the Beaux Arts-building has become a favorite rest stop because of the prettily decorated vaulting roof of its main hall and the spacious food court on the basement level. But Union Station has also become the second-busiest Amtrak station in the country, after New York City's Penn Station. Growth has been rapid, with more people taking the train between DC and New York than taking the plane -- the statistical reverse of a dozen years ago. Surprisingly, Amtrak has put forward a plan for renovating the building that will cost $7 billion. Behind the historic hall, which would stay as it is as a "front door" to the station, Amtrak would build a glass-enclosed structure, replaceA sub-class of the Knox class was built, commonly referred to as the Hewes class. The primary differences were slightly different arrangement of the "Officer's Country" staterooms with additional staterooms in the 01 level instead of the open deck between the boat decks. The stateroom on the port side under the bridge was designated as a "flag" stateroom, with the additional staterooms for flag staff when serving as a flagship. Contents The 46 ships of the Knox class were the largest, last and most numerous of the US Navy’s second-generation ASW escorts. The lead ship of the class was USS Knox (FF-1052), laid down 5 October 1965 and commissioned 12 April 1969, at Todd Shipyards in Seattle. Planned as the follow-on to the twin 5-inch gun armed Garcia-class frigates and

the Tartar missile-equipped Brooke-class frigates, their initial design incorporated the prior classes’ pressure-fired boilers (the design later was changed to conventional 1,200 psi (8,300 kPa) boilers) in a similar-sized hull designed around the massive bow-mounted AN/SQS-26 sonar. Ten ships were authorized in FY 1964, sixteen in 1965 and ten each for FYs 1966, ’67 and ’68; six were canceled in 1968 and four more in 1969. They were built in four different shipyards and were originally commissioned as destroyer escorts (DEs) 1052–1097 in 1969–1974, they were redesignated as frigates (FF) on 30 June 1975. In February 1972, after encountering a severe nor'easter off Cape Hatteras, USS Trippe suffered major damage to its ASROC missile launcher, which was ripped off its mounts. The Bureau of Ships ordered all of the Knoxof the class had been retired, although some remain in service with foreign nations such as Egypt, Taiwan, Thailand, and Mexico. These ships were designed primarily as antisubmarine warfare (ASW) platforms. They each had AN/SQS-26 hull-mounted sonar manufactured by General Electric and capable of active echo ranging in the 3.2 kHz range. The active modes of operation included omni-directional, phased directional, bottom bounce, and convergence zone. The battle displays included A and B scans. There was also a "Unit 31" chart readout display capable of long-distance passive detection, often well beyond the ranges capable of the surface search radar. The frigates were also equipped with an AN/AQS-35V Independent Variable Depth Sonar (IVDS) manufactured by EDO Corporation of College Point, NY, operating actively in the 13 kHz range with dual

a conversation across the Episcopal Church in response to the 2015 General Convention’s direction that the Standing Commission on Liturgy and Music prepare a plan for prayer book and hymnal revision. The VTS gathering opened with presentations that traced the revisions leading to Hymnal 1982. Former music professor James Litton, who served on the former Hymnal Revision Committee from 1966 to 1982, described a painstaking process of text and musical editing, with thorough vetting of hymn selections by clergy and musicians. The revisers, he said, were “living at a time of hymn explosion,” and could draw on compelling new texts by Fred Pratt Green and Carl Daw, as well as a distinctive genre of unison “art song” hymn tunes, especially associated with American composers David Hurd and Calvin Hampton. Hesuggested that a new hymnal should not be prepared until after the prayer book has been revised, because “the hymnal is really the companion to the Book of Common Prayer.” The Rev. William Bradley Roberts, professor of church music at VTS, celebrated further achievements of the 1982 Hymnal in a lecture interspersed with vigorous hymn-singing. Roberts said the Hymnal 1982 significantly expanded the number of plainsong, American folk hymns, and African American spirituals being sung in Episcopal churches, with a few forays into Latino, African, and Native American hymnody. Ray Glover, the revision committee’s chairman, told Roberts that his great regret was that the hymnal did not include more Spanish-language hymns. Marilyn Haskel, formerly of Church Publishing, reviewed a series of supplements that followed the hymnal. Aiming especially at expanding

CNN you are definately capable and up to this task! Thank you so much for giving me this opportunity to share my views, someone who loves this great country of ours, and who loves ALL its people.

How are so many different suppliers producing such large volumes of clothes so quickly, executing coordinated feats of design, production, and logistics in a matter of days? For my own part, I went looking for the answers in church. GARMENT OF PRAISE: The Ttokamsa Home Mission Church in eastern Los Angeles is the spiritual home of many of the Korean families who produce fast fashion, including the Chang family—the owners of Forever 21. (Photo: Lauren Lancaster) Specifically, I paid a visit this past summer to the Ttokamsa Home Mission Church, a large, gray, industrial box of a building near a highway on the edge of Echo Park, a residential neighborhood in East Los Angeles. A well-known local institution among Korean Americans, the church is the spiritual home of

fashion in the Americas. These families make their living by designing clothes, organizing the factory labor that will cut and sew them in places like China and Vietnam, and selling them wholesale to many of the most famous retailers in the U.S.—including Forever 21, Urban Outfitters, T.J. Maxx, Anthropologie, and Nordstrom. I first became curious about the garment sector in Los Angeles after noticing that an increasingly large proportion of students at Parsons, the New York design school where I teach, were second-generation children of Korean immigrants from Southern California. Many of them were studying fashion marketing and design so they could return to Los Angeles to help scale up their parents’ businesses. These students and their contemporaries were, I came to understand, the driving force behind U.S. fastmigration and generational progress—one that has recently reached a kind of critical mass. South Korea industrialized largely through its garment sector during the 1960s and ’70s, making clothes for the U.S. export market. In the cities and the countryside alike, practically an entire generation of Koreans—a staggering proportion of the adult population—cut their teeth working in these factories. At the same time, Korea was still an impoverished country with high unemployment and an oppressive military regime. So thousands of Koreans fled, emigrating mainly to the U.S. and South America—in particular to Brazil and Argentina. Without language skills or money, most ended up leveraging their ties to the textile trade back home, making or selling clothes. Korean immigrants went on to play large roles in the most important clothing markets in

São Paulo, Buenos Aires, Guangzhou, L.A., and New York. “All of us—every single person I knew—ended up working in the clothing business, even after graduating with a university degree,” says Mike Lee, a Korean fashion entrepreneur who came to Los Angeles from Brazil. “It was just one of those things where it was easy to learn the business and easy to get information about it, because everyone doing clothing in São Paulo was Korean.” INDUSTRIAL SUPPLY: Some firms in the Jobber Market—like Sans Souci, a women's apparel company—have major warehouse operations. Others get by with just a showroom. (Photo: Lauren Lancaster) Then, during the late 1980s and throughout the 1990s, thousands of Korean garment-business owners left Brazil and Argentina for Los Angeles, driven by currency crises, inflation, rising crime, andthe search for better educational opportunities for their children. It was those same children who would go on to drive America’s fast-fashion revolution. THE IMMIGRANT ENTREPRENEURS WHO set up shop in the Los Angeles garment district up through the 1990s brought with them decades of industry experience. They understood pattern-making, fit, and quality control; and their diasporic connections to other Koreans working abroad in the trade connected them to fabric and trim sources, factories, managers, sample-makers, and sewers in places like Brazil, China, and Vietnam. What they lacked, often, was American cultural fluency, a sensibility for aesthetics and design, and the capacity to connect with American retailers—traits that were becoming increasingly necessary for survival. By 2000, by many accounts, a large swath of garment businesses were failing. Korean-owned sewing factories,

Koreans arriving to open up wholesale shops and showrooms, competition became cutthroat. In the 2000s, the first major wave of second-generation Korean immigrants— kids who had grown up around their parents’ showrooms—started hitting adulthood. They headed off to American universities to study business, or to schools like Parsons to acquire skills in design, marketing, and merchandising. “They are going to fashion schools everywhere—in Paris, London, Milan, L.A., and New York, all over the world,” says Tommy Choi, a 15-year veteran of the Jobber Market. On their return to Los Angeles, the kids revamped their family businesses: re-branding, creating company logos, building out showroom spaces to make them appealing to American wholesale buyers, and setting up sleek websites. Their Americanized cultural identities and native English skills allowed Jobber Market businesses tocommunicate fluently with domestic department-store and retail buyers. And their design, marketing, and merchandising skills allowed companies in the neighborhood to start making clothes on the cutting edge of fashion. FIELD OF JEANS: Koos Manufacturing Inc., a Korean-owned factory in the Southgate neighborhood of L.A. is one of the nation's largest denim manufacturers. It does its own design, cutting, sewing, finishing, and more. (Photo: Lauren Lancaster) This simple change had a profound effect: It brought nearly all the parts of the apparel cycle—design, production, logistics, wholesaling, and marketing—under the purview of individual Korean fashion businesses. The levels of trust and coordination within each family business boosted the efficiency of the global production process. And the fierce competition between young Koreans in these family businesses sparked an explosion of creativity. In 1984,

Manufacturing Inc. (Photo: Lauren Lancaster) Today, Forever 21 has its own warehouses abroad to keep up with global demand, but it still maintains some ties to the Korean garment district. The company sends agents to the neighborhood—and to other similar markets around the world—to check in with vendors and keep track of what’s trending where. And several manufacturers in the neighborhood say that Forever 21 still buys clothes from them. There’s one more important part of the picture: Fast fashion did not just arise from a new intergenerational division of labor within Korean fashion businesses. It also arose from a new distribution of risk in the industry, with much of it falling on the shoulders of the Korean and Mexican families near the bottom of the production chain. For thefast-fashion suppliers in the L.A. Jobber Market, consumer demands are unpredictable and the market is highly volatile. Wholesalers live at the mercy of retailers who set prices and squeeze profit margins; families must invest cash and put thousands of styles into production before knowing what will sell. Everyone in the Jobber Market tells me about the stress, likening the business to gambling at a casino. Even sitting in her room, Alice looks effortlessly fashionable. She's wearing little black pleather shorts and a cute baseball T-shirt. These could be items in somebody's haul video. But everything that Alice Moon is wearing is something her own family has designed and made. FAR BEYOND THE CONFINES of the Los Angeles garment district, one of the most striking hallmarks of the fast-fashion era is

the rise of the YouTube “haul” video. A typical haul video—so named for the overstuffed bags of clothing one can purchase from a fast-fashion outlet for relatively little money—shows a young woman, just home from shopping, pulling out new purchases and showing them off for the camera. The videos exemplify the new dynamics of fashion consumption in America: the sheer cheapness, the low barriers to gratification, the disposability of stylish clothing. As one star of a haul video recently said, “I bought these jeans just because it was a $6-denim day at Forever 21.” On a residential street in Glendale, California, Alice Moon’s bedroom does not look so different from the kind of backdrop one often sees in haul videos. It is decorated with cut-and-paste collages of clothes, runwaymodels, and magazine cover girls. She’s cut the word “fashion” out in bubble letters and strung it decoratively across one wall. Shopping bags are strewn about everywhere—from H&M, Zara, Forever 21—stuffed with clothing that has yet to be unpacked, folded, put away, or even worn. UP AND COMING: Alice Moon, the teenage daughter of a fast fashion family and a parishioner at the Ttokamsa Home Mission Church, in her room in Glendale. After she graduates high school, Moon hopes to study fashion design at Parsons. (Photo: Lauren Lancaster) Moon (no relation to me) is a parishioner at the Ttokamsa church, the daughter of a fast-fashion family with a business in the Jobber Market. A junior in high school, Alice tells me that after she graduates, she too hopes to attend

Parsons to study fashion design; she has already made her first campus visit. She grew up helping out behind the store counter, navigating among boxes in the warehouse, peering over shoulders in the design studio, and modeling clothes. She’s always been a part of the design process one way or another, she says. Alice’s mom, the main designer in the family, tells me her daughter has come along on several trips to Paris, Milan, and London—to fabric shows and trade shows, and on shopping and research trips to help the family stay abreast of unfolding global trends. Alice is clearly being ably groomed for the family business, although her parents tell me she may pursue whatever makes her happy. Even sitting in her room, Alice looks effortlessly fashionable. With herDermal drug formulations may represent the oldest drug dosage form in human history. It is highly probable that even ancient people used resins and animal fats to treat damage to the skin resulting from injuries and burns. The use of such dermal formulations for local effect remained largely unchanged until the middle of this century. The concept of administering drugs through the skin to achieve a local or systemic effect was first seriously advocated by Dr. Alejandro Zaffaroni in the early 1970's. Since that time extensive research has been undertaken in this field. The transdermal route of drug administration offers a number of advantages over the more conventional routes of drug administration. For instance, a drug may be delivered to targeted tissues from adjacent skin areas. The transdermal route

dozens of newspaper editorial pages--all begged the Senate to vote no on Kavanaugh. Every Republican in the Senate gave them no heed, including Susan Collins, Lisa Murkowski, and Jeff Flake, who all pretended it was a decision most wrenching for them. In the end, two of the three did what they were always going to do--they gave him their vote. Murkowski voted "present" in order to protect the "yes" vote of an absent Senator. They weren't cowards, they were collaborators. In doing their dirty work, they twisted the knife already long embedded into Dr. Christine Blasey-Ford's gut by publicly scolding her for causing so much trouble.

When we declared our independence from England in 1776, we sent a message of defiance to a certain king who, uncannily, sought to force us into the same kind of submission Donald Trump is working to do today. It reads in part: The history of the present King of Great Britain is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations, all having in direct object the establishment of an absolute Tyranny over these States. To prove this, let Facts be submitted to a candid world. He has refused his Assent to Laws, the most wholesome and necessary for the public good. He has forbidden his Governors to pass Laws of immediate and pressing importance, unless suspended in their operation till his Assent should be obtained; and when so suspended,

he has utterly neglected to attend to them. He has refused to pass other Laws for the accommodation of large districts of people, unless those people would relinquish the right of Representation in the Legislature, a right inestimable to them and formidable to tyrants only. He has called together legislative bodies at places unusual, uncomfortable, and distant from the depository of their public Records, for the sole purpose of fatiguing them into compliance with his measures. He has dissolved Representative Houses repeatedly, for opposing with manly firmness his invasions on the rights of the people. He has refused for a long time, after such dissolutions, to cause others to be elected; whereby the Legislative powers, incapable of Annihilation, have returned to the People at large for their exercise; the State remaining inthe mean time exposed to all the dangers of invasion from without, and convulsions within. He has endeavoured to prevent the population of these States; for that purpose obstructing the Laws for Naturalization of Foreigners; refusing to pass others to encourage their migrations hither, and raising the conditions of new Appropriations of Lands. He has obstructed the Administration of Justice, by refusing his Assent to Laws for establishing Judiciary powers. He has made Judges dependent on his Will alone, for the tenure of their offices, and the amount and payment of their salaries. He has erected a multitude of New Offices, and sent hither swarms of Officers to harrass our people, and eat out their substance. He has combined with others to subject us to a jurisdiction foreign to our constitution, and unacknowledged

weakness. For the past two years we've been battered by nastiness and outright hatred. We're still being told to turn the other cheek, as if that's what it'll take to make us smile again. It isn't. Turning the other cheek doesn't feel good. This feels good. Asking Sarah Sanders to leave a restaurant won't hurt her feelings. It won't affect her psyche. But our rage over lost children and terrorized parents has to have an outlet. Cheering the ousting of a hated member of a hated president's cabinet is a moment we might need. It doesn't make us "just like them". It makes us human.(Cross-posted at Crooks & Liars) They hang "Dear Leader" posters on the walls, showing a smirking Donald Trump alongside a bizarre, irrelevant quote from his book, "TheArt of the Deal".

We know now that, long before Jeff Sessions told those families they're going to have their kids taken away if they didn't stop fleeing the dangers in their own countries to get to the Land Of The Free And the Home Of The Brave, they were already taking kids away from fleeing refugees. Now they have over 2000 of them--some as young as eight months old--and it's as if locusts suddenly appeared in their fields, out of nowhere, thousands of them, all at one time. What is happening??

But last night at the Tony Awards Robert De Niro dropped the F bomb--twice--against Donald Trump, and I, an audience of one in my own living room, found myself cheering like a maniac. So what's the difference? The difference, as I see it, is in context, power, and visibility. Context: Trump had just come off of a lunkheaded one-man burlesque at the G7 Summit held in Canada. At the meeting where leaders from the top industrialized countries gather to work on equitable alliances,Trump's dual roles as chaos creator and spoiled brat became clearer with every word and deed. The Ugliest American embarrassed us onceagain, and put us in a far weaker position world-wide than any president had ever done before. Trump is headed today for talks with the North Koreans. It's a clown show, with Dennis Rodman as the frontman. Trump will know in seconds whether or not it's going to work, because "It's what I doooo." The two dictators will have a private 45-minute sit-down, again unprecedented, the need for secrecy way too suspicious. Then there's that whole flap about refugee kids in cages, literally torn from their parents' arms, all in the name of "new and tougher immigration policy". The program is so rotten the UN's Human Rights Commission felt compelled to condemn the United States of America for "arbitrary and unlawful separation of family life...a serious violation of the rights

the GOP is still pretending everything is hunky dory, but much of it comes from the Democrats and their wistful insistence that TrumpCo is so bad it can't possibly go on much longer. I'm a life-long Democrat, but whenever I'm wistful it's because I'm longing for the good old days, when Dems were primarily the protectors of the poor and disenfranchised, the champions of the working class, the supporters of unions, the caretakers of our lands, and the nemeses of the power brokers. The people who took on those tasks weren't wimps, they were fighters. Fierce fighters who knew their missions were the right ones and didn't veer from their convictions. Sometimes they won the battle, sometimes they lost, but we always knew where they stood. They stood with us. The Democrats spent decades, startingthat goes along with being president, but he's crazy about his role as Grand High Poobah. His performances are comedic nightmares, black with bile, but it's the crowds he's after. He puffs, they cheer, he drinks in the star power. His ignorance is astounding, his every Twitterance is maddening, his love affair with Russia is dark and dangerous; his followers, including all but a handful of Republicans in congress, are deliberately oblivious... and still the Democrats have to worry about winning elections. The Democrats should never have to worry about winning elections. The Democrats are US. The Republicans are THEM. So my message to my party is this: Democrats, get fierce! This battle is worth fighting. Don't be distracted by mosquitos buzzing around your ears. There be dragons out there. Swords at

2,000 colleges and universities, 10,000 grammar and high schools and 1,000 communities mobilized for the first nationwide demonstrations on environmental problems. Congress adjourned for the day so members could attend Earth Day events in their districts. The response was nothing short of remarkable, and the modern American environmental movement took off. My major objective in planning Earth Day 1970 was to organize a nationwide public demonstration so large it would, finally, get the attention of the politicians and force the environmental issue into the political dialogue of the nation. It worked. By the sheer force of its collective action on that one day, the American public forever changed the political landscape respecting environmental issues. I remember that first Earth Day, April 22, 1970. The scope of it was astonishing andreally surprising. It was a grassroots movement in the best sense of the phrase, and we all felt good about it. (Most of us, that is. The day after, The Daughters of the American Revolution branded the Earth Day commemoration "distorted" and "subversive". (It didn't help that the first Earth Day happened to fall on the 100th anniversary of Vladimir Lenin's birth.) What Gaylord Nelson originally proposed was a nationwide teach-in on school campuses. He chose April 22 because it would fall after Easter break but before final exams. It was spring. The earth was renewing itself. Environmentalism was gearing up and in motion, and it was a fine time to give the earth a day. Richard Nixon was president and, while he didn't participate in any of the

day's events (maybe because a damned Democrat came up with the idea), he was actively talking about attacks on the environment and the steps the government would need to combat them. Pollution was a big issue already, and steps had been taken to de-smog the cities. It was working. (Nelson had actually talked to JFK in the early 60s about the need to draw attention to the environment, and a day to commemorate had been thrown out there then. Nothing happened.) Industry was king, and the environmentalists, alarmed at water, ground and air pollution levels, were talking to brick walls (when they weren't batting their heads against them). In 1962, the year Rachel Carson published "Silent Spring", 750 people died in London's smog. In 1965, four days of inversionheld down a cloud of filthy air that killed 80 people in New York City. In 1969, Cleveland's Cuyahoga River caught fire. Earlier that year, an oil platform six miles out from Santa Barbara, California, blew out, spilling 200,000 gallons of oil, creating an 800 square mile oil slick that settled on 35 miles of California shoreline. Almost 4,000 birds were killed, along with fish, seals and dolphin. Enough had finally become enough, and under Lyndon Johnson and a congress that could see clearly now (even though the rest of us were still lost in a choking, eye-watering, salmon-colored, man-made smog), we saw a Clean Air Act, a Clean Water act, a National Wilderness Preservation System, a Wild and Scenic Rivers Act, a National Trails System Act, and, for

smack me down? Would you rush to remind me of the Women's Marches, the "Me Too" movement, the multiplying numbers of women seeking public office? Would you send me links to maybe a dozen men whose careers have now ended, thanks to women coming forward about sexual abuse just last year alone? I hear you. Now hear me: Donald Trump, a serial sexual abuser, is our current president. Congress, led by a Republican majority, is still overwhelmingly male, many of them open chauvinists. ( Out of 535 members of Congress, only 106 are women--22 in the Senate, and 84 in the House.) We're the only gender who can make babies, yet it's still left to men to decide how we control the process. Red states outnumber blue states and women's rights are in dangerin every one of them. Free contraception is looked on as a sin or a waste of good money. Kentucky could become the first state without a single abortion clinic. Many others are down to one or two. Planned Parenthood is under siege and may not make it this time. Dismissing and disrespecting women's lives is back in vogue. It happens every time we gather in large groups and make too much noise. And yet there are millions of women who don't or won't see what the fuss is all about. If you ask Republican women why they vote the way they do, their answer, overwhelmingly, is "abortion". Nothing else matters, as seen by their approval of Donald Trump, the poorest choice for president this country has ever seen. Trump, the

White House, making a mockery of our presidency. He's a president like a third rate comic spoofing the highest job in the land would be president. His stake is only in drawing an audience; he has no feeling for what the real job would be like. It's beyond his capacity to get that deep into the role, and nothing says he has to. He revels in his "free to be me" rhetoric and the crowds keep on coming. A president, no matter his politics or biases, has to, at some point, recognize he's the leader of a country and not just the spokesman for his base. Donald can't do that. He snuggles into his base, comfy and worry-free, and if there are people screaming for his head on the outside,a constitutional amendment deliberately misused and abused by the NRA, when they of all people should know better. The NRA is nothing more than an industry promoting and selling deadly firearms, and they do it by seducing Americans into believing gun ownership is fun, cool, deliciously subversive, and an absolute goddamn right. The NRA and their brothers-in-arms, the gun manufacturers, have built a multi-billion dollar industry off of that crazy talk and our own government has done everything in their power to encourage it. Gun lobbyists spend billions of dollars in Washington alone to keep that murderous myth going. The NRA "donated" hundreds of millions of dollars to Donald Trump's campaign. Many more millions went to dozens of members of Congress. Money over lives. They took blood money. The second Amendment

And here's yesterday's Breaking News: Ever since Trump sat through France's Bastille Day extravaganza last July 14 he's been lusting after his own Tanks and Rockets and Stuff Like That parade, Soviet/North Korea style. He kids you not. He pictures it going right down Pennsylvania Avenue, looking something like this: Soviet Military Parade, Moscow, 1984 The Pentagon guys are madly trying to stall--red tape, lost memos, the logistics behind hauling our country's heavy weaponry to the steps of the White House--the usual--but Trump has spoken.

As orientation film for orienting liquid crystal molecules in a liquid crystal device is used a silicon oxide film obliquely formed by evaporation, organic macromolecule compound film such as polyimide film and polyamide film, and the like. Particularly, a polyimide film is widely employed since it is superior in heat resistance and it is easily formed. A solution of polyimide is applied on a substrate and a solvent in the solution is removed, and then the substrate is subjected to a thermal treatment if necessary, to thereby form a polyimide film. Subsequently this polyimide film is subjected to rubbing treatment, and thereby an orientation film is obtained. However in a ferroelectric liquid crystal electro-optical device using strongly insulating film such as polyimide film,

crystal display devices which are provided with orientation films made from polyimide mixed with conductive particles such as metallic powders or conductive organic compounds. Generally, orientation films provided in ferroelectric liquid crystal display devices are superior in switching when the thickness of the orientation films are 1000.ANG. or less, preferably 500 to 200 .ANG.. However, it is extremely difficult to disperse the conductive particles uniformly in such a thin film. Further, some of the conductive particles mixed in orientation films are naturally bared on the surfaces of the orientation films. As time passes, such conductive particles enter the liquid crystal layer and thereby ionized impurities are increased in total in the liquid crystal layer, and as the result the after-image is increased. In addition, by the increase of the ionizedSuspension Noise problems of the 2001 Chrysler 300M  One problem related to suspension noise has been reported for the 2001 Chrysler 300M.

Secretary of State Mark Martin's office said 3,708 voters had cast a ballot by mid-afternoon Tuesday, the first day of early voting for the June 10 runoff. Martin's office has predicted only 3 or 4 percent of the state's 1.6 million registered voters will cast a ballot in the runoff. Turnout for the May 20 primary was 21 percent. The only statewide race in the election is the GOP runoff for attorney general, which pits Little Rock lawyers Leslie Rutledge and David Sterling against each other. The winner of the runoff will face Democratic state Rep.

Nate Steel in the November election. The election also includes GOP runoffs for a north Arkansas state Senate seat, and a southeast Arkansas state House seat. The two are running on similar vows to use the office to fight the federal government, and have been sparring increasingly in the final days of the campaign over who has the experience and conservative credentials to do so. Rutledge, a former lawyer for the Republican National Committee and ex-Gov. Mike Huckabee, touted herself as the candidate with the best experience to challenge the federal government. "We both are talking about fighting an overreaching federal government, but I'm the only person that's ever fought against an overreaching federal government," Rutledge said after voting early Tuesday. Sterling, who said he expected to vote early sometime this week,not advocating a similar measure. Rutledge has denounced the ad, while Sterling said he didn't believe it was inaccurate. Among those casting a ballot early Tuesday was Walter Hutchison, a Democrat who said he'll vote for Steel in the fall but backed Rutledge in the GOP primary runoff because he was bothered by the ad. "I don't want to see those ads again in the general election, so that's why I voted for her," said Hutchison, a 66-year-old retiree from Scott who voted in downtown Little Rock.

At Google, apps to help discover (and conquer) the world around you In Ingress, real-life landmarks, like the Washington Monument, serve as in-game "portals" players must capture. Story highlights Google lab works on apps that help users discover interesting things Niantic Labs has created travel adviser "Field Trip" and mobile game "Ingress" "Field Trip" uses GPS to point out interesting things you are near Ingress uses public landmarks in a worldwide game between two sides The "Niantic" was a whaling ship used during the Gold Rush of the 1800s and then run aground to be used for storage and as a hotel in a place now known as San Francisco. As the city grew and changed, the ship was built over and around many times, becoming part of the foundation of the city and now residing,at least in part, in the San Francisco Maritime Museum. A group at Google has adopted that ship's name, with the goal of crafting apps that encourage users to explore the world around them and, in the process, discover such hidden gems. The idea, according to John Hanke, vice president of product development for Niantic Labs, was to get people moving, exploring, and having fun during the normally stationary act of playing on their phones. "The theme of the group was the things around you that just lie beneath the surface, the unseen world," Hanke said. "The information exists on the Internet, but these are probably things you don't notice in the real world. The information, although it is there, is often difficult to get to." Niantic Labs has been working on

an area and control the people therein. Virtual hot-spots, called "portals" in the game, appear at the GPS locations of real landmarks like public art, historic buildings, museums, local institutions and churches. Players must be in the real-world location of these portals to "capture" them for their team. Hanke said his original plan was to create an MMO (massively multiplayer online) game where people all over the world could play in their own time toward a common goal. But when people started gathering in cities to capture portals, he says, something amazing happened. "Getting together in the real world, people are going out and playing for an hour -- or sometimes all night -- and then having beers or breakfast together," he said. "People are doing that; I never expected them towhen I designed this game." In "Ingress," there is always competition on a local level, as well as the occasional special event, with a specific, time-sensitive goal, that can draw dozens of players from both factions. Recently, Google has been hopping from city to city for major gatherings, though, drawing player numbers in the hundreds. Sydney, Australia; New York, Chicago, Boston, Washington, and Cologne and Dusseldorf in Germany, have all been the sites of such events. Daphne Domingo, one of the main organizers in Washington, said that while she isn't normally a competitive person, the social aspects of the game make it fun. "You have so many different socio-economical backgrounds in the players and we've all become dearest friends," Domingo said. "You really can't do it alone. You have to work with

"People were sending us videos of players trudging through the snow (in Russia) playing 'Ingress,' " he said.
