Geo Quotes

In Geo-Politics, a nation has no permanent allies or permanent enemies, only permanent interests.

The universe plays tricks. Had I won that car, I never would have met my future husband. That little Geo Tracker would’ve significantly rerouted the course of my life.

Even a single macro change – like an increase in the price of gasoline due to geo-political tensions – can have tremendous effects on a business’ ability to provide value to its customers.

Our problem is one of spirituality. If a man comes to speak to me about the reforms to be undertaken in the Muslim world, about political strategies and of great geo-strategic plans, my first question to him would be whether he performed the dawn prayer in its time.

No, Geo—underneath all that, Nan really loves me. It’s just she wants me to see things her way. You know, she’s two years older; that meant a lot when we were children. I’ve always thought of her as being sort of like a road—I mean, she leads somewhere. With her, I’ll never lose my way.

I hope to repair certain important connections burned through by artificial speed, by inattentiveness. I walk, as everyone does, to see what lies ahead. I walk to remember.

Ghiorghiță maică (îl căinează mumă-sa) Știu eu ce te doare pe tine Dar nu-ți pierde firea și nu te mai gândi Că mi te prăpădești de tot, Ghiorghiță a continuat totuși să se gândească Și să se prăpădească.

Anemo (wind) and Geo (earth).

Geo, let me tell you a short story. Nanny State married Big Brother and then they sat back and bathed in the power ...and counted the cash. Smiling

It's no time to be wobbly, Geo.

To overcome the tremendous obstacles in the way of the economic unification of Africa, decisive political actions are required in the first place. Political unification is a prerequisite. The rational organization of African economies cannot precede the political organization of Africa. The elaboration of a rational formula of economic organization must come after the creation of a federal political entity. It is only within the framework of such a geo-political entity that a rational economic development and cooperation can be inserted. The inverse leads to the type of results we have witnessed over the years.

The Texas facilities were to be run by private prison companies—the GEO Group and CoreCivic—which had been involved in immigration detention since the mid-1980s and were profiting from an ever-larger share of DHS contracts.

Când nimeni nu va mai ști niciuna dintre limbile ce se vorbesc astăzi pe fața pământului, Când oamenii vor comunica între ei prin formule matematice, Când istoria lumii va putea fi cuprinsă în șapte silabe, Oamenii acelei ere vor mai învăța șaptesprezece mii de pierdute cuvinte, De dragul lui Shakespeare.

I’m going to say something that’s going to make me sound like the biggest pussy ever, but after what I’ve been through…Geo could fuck half of Paris, lie to me, lose an eye, whatever—she could do anything, and still I could never think of another woman.” He gives us a half smile. “Don’t tell her that, though.

Everyone knows that the Arts are Grammar, Dialectic, Rhetoric, Arithmetic, Music, Geometry, and Astronomy. And almost everyone has met the mnemonic couplet Gram loquitur, Dia verba docet, Rhet verba colorat, Mus canit, Ar numerat, Geo ponderat, Ast colit astra. The first three constitute the Trivium or threefold way; the last four, the Quadrivium.

Yeah whatever.

The world you know, is only half the story

2 NOTES “You broke your other appointment, didn’t you?” “I did not! I told you on the phone—these people canceled at the last minute—” “Oh, Geo dear, come off it! You know, I sometimes think, about you, whenever you do something really sweet, you’re ashamed of it afterwords! You knew jolly well how badly I needed you tonight, so you broke that appointment. I could tell you were fibbing, the minute you opened your mouth! You and I can’t pull the wool over each other’s eyes. I found that out, long ago. Haven’t you—after all these years?” “I certainly should have,” he agrees, smiling and thinking what an absurd and universally accepted bit of nonsense it is that your best friends must necessarily be the ones who best understand you.

On my way, I was learning, was the product of Barack’s eternal optimism, an indication of his eagerness to be home that did nothing to signify when he would actually arrive. Almost home was not a geo-locator but rather a state of mind. Sometimes he was on his way but needed to stop in to have one last forty-five-minute conversation with a colleague before he got into the car. Other times, he was almost home but forgot to mention that he was first going to fit in a quick workout at the gym.

The police cannot be reformed—more than a century of experience proves this beyond a reasonable doubt. Even if we tried, and we do continue to try, police resist tooth and nail even the smallest reforms and the most minimal accountability. They do so, in part, because ultimately they want zero accountability. They also do so simply because they can. As we have seen, the history of American police is the history of their expanding power, and it is a voracious power that accepts no limits: a fascist power.

A world without police is therefor a world in which the police are obsolete, useless—a world where they serve literally no purpose. Seen from this angle, we're already halfway there: the police are useless. They don't do what they claim, they don't protect and serve, much less prevent, care, or support. At the same time, the police do play an essential, indeed indispensable role in fabricating and upholding the world we inhabit today, premised as it is on the domination and exploitation of the vast majority.

It’s worth pausing to reflect on the growing fascination with geo-engineering. What’s interesting about it is that it embodies the very same logic that got us into trouble in the first place: the idea that the living planet, rendered as mere ‘nature’, is nothing but a set of passive materials that can be subdued, conquered and controlled. Geo-engineering represents dualism taken to astonishing new extremes, unimaginable by Bacon and Descartes, where the planet itself must be bent to the will of man so that capitalist growth can continue indefinitely.

It is a West zone planet which by an inexplicable and somewhat suspicious freak of topography consists almost entirely of subtropical coastline. By an equally suspicious freak of temporal relastatics, it is nearly always Saturday afternoon just before the beach bars close. No adequate explanation for this has been forthcoming from the dominant life forms on Ursa Minor Beta, who spend most of their time attempting to achieve spiritual enlightenment by running round swimming pools, and inviting Investigation Officials from the Galactic Geo-Temporal Control Board to 'have a nice diurnal anomaly.

She met a lot of people, and some people who weren’t people. The more rural houses occasionally played host to minor demons and lesser fairies and local geo-specific nature spirits and elementals who lent street cred to the establishment in return for God knows what in the way of goods and services, she didn’t ask. There was a certain romance to these beings; they seemed to embody the very promise of magic, which was to deliver unto her a world greater than the one into which she had been born. The moment when you walk into a room, and the guy playing pool has a pair of red leather wings sticking out of his back, and the chick smoking on the balcony has eyes of liquid golden fire—at that moment you think you’ll never be sad or bored or lonely again.

J'ai gardé pour la fin, comme un hommage, les lignes où je parlerai du travail des femmes des Motzi. Travail rude et dur, la plupart du temps côte à côte avec les hommes, dans les bois, par des chemins abrupts, parmi les meutes de loups. Mais ce n'est pas de cela que je veux parler ici. Je veux simplement dire le travail que doit fournir une femme Motz pour faire de ses mains calleuses une chemise de chanvre. (p. 66)

The term may have been coined in 1845, but the seeds of Manifest Destiny arrived with Christopher Columbus when he stumbled onto the shores of North America—the self-styled “New World.” Since then, the death grip of its ideology has been the operating principle of the American Empire—a fervent, fanatical, at times religious mandate to carry out economic and geo-political acts that will always benefit the chosen few, which, in today’s parlance is the “one percent.” In fact, this Draconian gospel of exceptionalism has been the all-powerful dogma fueling American imperialism and free-market fundamentalism at the core of U.S. armed atrocities—both domestic and foreign. Writer and cabinetmaker Charles Sullivan offers this allegory: “It is the unquestioned religion of America that also bears a strange resemblance to the ideology of the cancer cell.

Snowden called the NSA ‘self-certifying’. In the debate over who ruled the internet, the NSA provided a dismaying answer: ‘We do.’ The slides, given to Poitras and published by Der Spiegel magazine, show that the NSA had developed techniques to hack into iPhones. The agency assigned specialised teams to work on other smartphones too, such as Android. It targeted BlackBerry, previously regarded as the impregnable device of choice for White House aides. The NSA can hoover up photos and voicemail. It can hack Facebook, Google Earth and Yahoo Messenger. Particularly useful is geo-data, which locates where a target has been and when. The agency collects billions of records a day showing the location of mobile phone users across the world. It sifts them – using powerful analytics – to discover ‘co-travellers’. These are previously unknown associates of a target. Another

The day you shot Scrooge, we had a nine stashed nearby. We knew that tension was building between us and you, and so we started to keep the nine nearby instead of the .380 pistol. So when you came up the road, after we finished beating that fella nobody bothered going for the nine, because it was only you one to all of us. But after you snatched that gun out of Geo’s hand and fired those shots at us, I ran back to get the nine. We had it stashed in a mattress through the shortcut next to where we were hanging out. Then he asked me in a serious tone, ‘You know, each time I jammed my hand in that mattress to find the gun, I couldn’t find it? I was like, ‘Where in the hell this gun is?’ I heard when you were firing those shots at Franz, but I couldn’t find that gun. It was only after you left did I found the gun. Franco ‘Co’ Bethel, former gang leader and right hand man to Scrooge.

Giraffes are famous for long necks, but their 20-inch (50cm) tongues are also impressive. These gentle herbivores spend most of their time eating, consuming hundreds of pounds of leaves each week and traveling miles to find enough food. Given that they eat for hours, the darker coloring of their tongues helps prevent sunburn! Giraffe tongues have also developed a thick skin and exceptional dexterity as protection against the vicious thorns that grow on their favourite food, the acacia tree. Although they are largely classified as a species at least concern, wild giraffes declined by 40 percent in the past 15 years and need protection from poaching and habitat loss.

Prisons are racism incarnate. As Michelle Alexander points out, they constitute the new Jim Crow. But also much more, as the lynchpins of the prison-industrial complex, they represent the increasing profitability of punishment. They represent the increasingly global strategy of dealing with populations of people of color and immigrant populations from the countries of the Global South as surplus populations, as disposable populations. Put them all in a vast garbage bin, add some sophisticated electronic technology to control them, and let them languish there. And in the meantime, create the ideological illusion that the surrounding society is safer and more free because the dangerous Black people and Latinos, and the Native Americans, and the dangerous Asians and the dangerous White people, and of course the dangerous Muslims, are locked up! And in the meantime, corporations profit and poor communities suffer! Public education suffers! Public education suffers because it is not profitable according to corporate measures. Public health care suffers. If punishment can be profitable, then certainly health care should be profitable, too. This is absolutely outrageous! It is outrageous. It is also outrageous that the state of Israel uses the carceral technologies developed in relation to US prisons not only to control the more than eight thousand Palestinian political prisoners in Israel but also to control the broader Palestinian population. These carceral technologies, for example, the separation wall, which reminds us of the US-Mexico border wall, and other carceral technologies are the material constructs of Israeli apartheid. G4S, the organization, the corporation G4S, which profits from the incarceration and the torturing of Palestinian prisoners, has a subsidiary called G4S Secure Solutions, which was formerly known as Wackenhut. And just recently a subsidiary of that just have one more page of notes corporation, GEO Group, which is a private prison company, attempted to claim naming rights at Florida Atlantic University by donating something like $6 million, right? And, the students rose up. They said that our football stadium will not bear the name of a private prison corporation! And the students won. The students won; the name came down from the marquee.

Allan found his place for the second time, and fell headlong into the bottomless abyss of the English Law. “Page 280,” he began. “Law of husband and wife. Here’s a bit I don’t understand, to begin with: ‘It may be observed generally that the law considers marriage in the light of a Contract.’ What does that mean? I thought a contract was the sort of a thing a builder signs when he promises to have the workmen out of the house in a given time, and when the time comes (as my poor mother used to say) the workmen never go.” “Is there nothing about Love?” asked Neelie. “Look a little lower down.” “Not a word. He sticks to his confounded ‘Contract’ all the way through.” “Then he’s a brute! Go on to something else that’s more in our way.” “Here’s a bit that’s more in our way: ‘Incapacities. If any persons under legal incapacities come together, it is a meretricious, and not a matrimonial union.’ (Blackstone’s a good one at long words, isn’t he? I wonder what he means by meretricious?) ‘The first of these legal disabilities is a prior marriage, and having another husband or wife living — ’“ “Stop!” said Neelie; “I must make a note of that.” She gravely made her first entry on the page headed “Good,” as follows: “I have no husband, and Allan has no wife. We are both entirely unmarried at the present time.” “All right, so far,” remarked Allan, looking over her shoulder. “Go on,” said Neelie. “What next?” “‘The next disability,’“ proceeded Allan, “‘is want of age. The age for consent to matrimony is, fourteen in males, and twelve in females.’ Come!” cried Allan, cheerfully, “Blackstone begins early enough, at any rate!” Neelie was too business-like to make any other remark, on her side, than the necessary remark in the pocketbook. She made another entry under the head of “Good”: “I am old enough to consent, and so is Allan too. Go on,” resumed Neelie, looking over the reader’s shoulder. “Never mind all that prosing of Blackstone’s, about the husband being of years of discretion, and the wife under twelve. Abominable wretch! the wife under twelve! Skip to the third incapacity, if there is one.” “‘The third incapacity,’“ Allan went on, “‘is want of reason.’“ Neelie immediately made a third entry on the side of “Good”: “Allan and I are both perfectly reasonable. Skip to the next page.” Allan skipped. “‘A fourth incapacity is in respect of proximity of relationship.’“ A fourth entry followed instantly on the cheering side of the pocketbook: “He loves me, and I love him — without our being in the slightest degree related to each other. Any more?” asked Neelie, tapping her chin impatiently with the end of the pencil. “Plenty more,” rejoined Allan; “all in hieroglyphics. Look here: ‘Marriage Acts, 4 Geo. IV., c. 76, and 6 and 7 Will. IV., c. 85 (q).’ Blackstone’s intellect seems to be wandering here. Shall we take another skip, and see if he picks himself up again on the next page?

If they gave degrees for compartmentalizing, Geo would have a Ph.D.

We have an ability to recognise our consciousness and conscience. Using our senses and rational faculties of inference, we come to know that the lifeless matter and living beings owe their existence to someone else due to their inability to explain their existence by self-creation. Matter has not created itself. Life in its complex and intelligent form in humans can also not be explained by self- creation. Matter is malleable in our hands and we can convert it into different ways to make aero planes, skyscrapers and pyramids. Using geo-engineering, we are striving to even transform climate of entire planet. We, having this ability or potential have also only come into existence in this world few hundred years ago. Thus, even after gaining tremendous advances in artificial intelligence, we cannot claim to explain our existence through self-creation and creation of consciousness from unconsciousness. In a mindless universe, we find ourselves as sentient beings in search of the origin and meaning of life.

making him the perfect ace for Edgar to obtain information. When Diana was going to be at the conference, Edgar saw it as the most opportune chance to gain information from her before it became locked into GeoTech’s proprietary research. “I’m really sorry,” Alex said, tension lining his face. “I never meant for you to come to harm. When Edgar suggested he talk to you at the conference, I told Kwan he would be there, too.” “I’m afraid we anticipated much, Dr. Olson,” Kwan said, “but Edgar deciding to kidnap you exceeded expectations. I think because you came with a bodyguard, he grew desperate.” Alex sighed. “That’s why I was so keyed up about your security.” He glanced toward Bennett. “Edgar didn’t like not being able to get close to her, and I was

In Germany at the end of the 19th century the “doctrine of the global empire” (Weltreicheslehre) was very much in vogue. Its central belief was that the geo-economic power of the (other) European colonial empires would eventually crush the weak Central European block (i.e. Germany). Against this background, Germany embarked on a two-fold race to defend itself and to gain respect: on the one hand, it increased its activities on the colonial front (South Africa, Asia, Oceania, Morocco…),[3] with consequent discomfort for the traditional colonial powers, and on the other hand it increased military spending, especially for the Navy, to be able to go one-to-one with Britain. Germany thus embarked on a perverse dynamic of action and reaction, of fear and shows of strength, of isolation and expansionism, which was interpreted by the other world powers as confirming their prejudices about the territorial voracity and warlike conduct of the new unified Germany.

Of the early founders, the most eminent proponent of physical geography as a scientific entity was undoubtedly the German polymath Alexander von Humboldt. On his many travels, he combined observations with measurements of temperature, pressure, and the Earth’s magnetic field, and made generalizations about the geographical distribution of vegetation, global-scale patterns of temperature (depicted by isotherms on maps), the ways in which temperature falls and vegetation varies with increasing altitude (on Tenerife in the Canary Islands, for example), the alignment of volcanoes, and the course of ocean currents. In his major works, written around the middle of the 19th century, such as Cosmos: A Sketch of a Physical Description of the Universe , published in 1849, he emphasized not only relationships within the natural geo-ecosphere but also linkages to human societies. A year earlier, Mary Somerville, based at the University of Oxford, published Physical Geography and defined the subject as ‘a description of the Earth, the sea and the air, with their inhabitants animal and vegetable, of the distribution of these organized beings and the causes of that distribution’.

Hay tanto en la vida y en la experiencia cotidiana –por no hablar de nuestros sistemas filosóficos, políticos y económicos– que depende del concepto de individuo, que puede ser difícil quedarse quieto y ver cómo este se disuelve. ¿Dónde deja esto al «nosotros»? ¿Qué pasa con el «ellos»? ¿El «yo»? ¿El «mío»? ¿El «todos»? ¿El «cualquiera»? En parte son esas sensaciones de desconcierto las que hacen que los avances en microbiología sean tan emocionantes. Conocer mejor estas asociaciones cambia cómo vivimos nuestros propios cuerpos y los lugares en los que habitamos. «Nosotros» somos ecosistemas que rebasan fronteras y vulneran categorías. Nuestros yoes emergen de una compleja maraña de relaciones que apenas empieza a conocerse.

Los científicos son –y siempre han sido– sensibles, creativos, intuitivos, seres humanos completos, que hacen preguntas sobre un mundo que nunca se hizo para ser catalogado ni sistematizado. Cada vez que me he preguntado qué estaban haciendo estos hongos y he diseñado estudios para probar y entender sus comportamientos, no me ha quedado otra que imaginármelos.

La identidad de los hongos importa, pero no siempre es un mundo binario. La individualidad puede ir transformándose poco a poco en la otredad.

Para tu comunidad microbiana –tu «microbioma»–, tu cuerpo es un planeta. Algunos prefieren el bosque templado de tu cuero cabelludo, otros las áridas planicies de tu antebrazo y algunos el bosque tropical de tu entrepierna o axila. Tus intestinos, orejas, dedos de los pies, boca, ojos, piel, y cada superficie, conducto y cavidad que tienes están infestados de bacterias y hongos. Llevas más microbios encima que células ‘propias’.

Slavery is not a by-product of this process; rather, slavery is driven by an indifferent extractive geo-logic that is motivated by the desire for inhuman properties.

That the overwhelming majority of attempts to supplant the postmodern consist in large measure of attaching a new prefix to the word 'modern' strikes me as a clear indication that we are not yet done with our modernity; and that such a number of new prefixes are being mooted (such as 're-' and 'dis-'; 'alter-' and 'auto-'; 'hyper-' and "meta-'; 'ana-' and 'digi-'; you might also have come across 'geo-' and 'neo-', too?) suggests to me that there is a broadening variety of ways in which we experience or negotiate our modernity - or, alternatively, a broadening awareness that there is, and probably always has been, a variety of modernities. What the newly prefixed modernisms to be found in this anthology suggest to my mind is that what supplants postmodernity is a realization that we never left modernity behind in the first place, and that the discourses seeking to formulate or describe the late twentieth century as an era that was somehow 'post-'modernity amount to little more than half a century of groping down a blind alley.

The conclusion I draw from the writings in this anthology, then, is finally this. That the overwhelming majority of attempts to supplant the postmodern consist in large measure of attaching a new prefix to the word 'modern' strikes me as a clear indication that we are not yet done with our modernity; and that such a number of new prefixes are being mooted (such as 're-' and 'dis-'; 'alter-' and 'auto-'; 'hyper-' and "meta-'; 'ana-' and 'digi-'; you might also have come across 'geo-' and 'neo-', too? suggests to me that there is a broadening variety of ways in which we experience or negotiate our modernity - or, alternatively, a broadening awareness that there is, and probably always has been, a variety of modernities. It was always simplistic to assume that for some reason they all came to an end suddenly, whether that was in May 1968, or when the Pruitt-Igoe housing project was dynamited, or at any other time. By the same token, it is no more sensible to assume that some new modernity was born when the Berlin Wall fell, or when American Airlines flight 1 crashed into the North Tower of the World Trade Center on September 11, 2001, or at some other arbitrarily selected moment of historical significance. Instead, ti might be worth suggesting that - with a nod to Bruno Latour - we have never been postmodern. Hence, I predict that debating the end of postmodernity will ultimately prove futile, but no more and no less futile than debating its origins and its birth. What the newly prefixed modernisms to be found in this anthology suggest to my mind is that what supplants postmodernity is a realization that we never left modernity behind in the first place, and that the discourses seeking to formulate or describe the late twentieth century as an era that was somehow (though there was never much clarity as to h o w 'post-'modernity amount to little more than half a century of groping down a blind alley.

The pull of the organic towards the inorganic, of the animate towards the inanimate, of the living towards the unliving - the pull towards something "old." In these moments, the human being is turned inside-out, revealing the entirety of human civilization as a bg-brain neurosis, beneath which a deeper, multi-layered geo-trauma manifests itself in a myriad of ways, from frenetic protozoa to the torpid, stumbling forth of human self-awareness.

What started off as this hobbyist movement became the basis for disrupting the entire space infrastructure. Suddenly, Moore’s Law came rushing into the space industry and completely changed to how people think about it. Instead of spending a billion dollars to put a satellite in GEO—instead of spending twelve years on building and designing it, and then buying a multi-hundred-million-dollar rocket to get it there, and having a mission that’s going to last for thirty years—for a tiny, tiny fraction of that cost you could build these little CubeSats out of cell phone components, and you can put up ten or a hundred or a thousand of them in low Earth orbit and just replenish them.2 David Cowan

Around nine the next morning, the Carl Hayden team rolled Stinky into a UCSB pool reserved for practice. Other teams were scattered around the perimeter and glanced at the newcomers. The robots on display looked like works of art to the Carl Hayden kids. The competitors appeared to have all the things they didn’t: glass syntactic foam, machined metal, elaborate control panels, and cool matching outfits. Cristian was proud of his robot, but he could see that it looked like a Geo Metro compared with the Lexuses and BMWs around the pool.

Finally, to the rowdy applause of the engineers, their executives sang, to the happy tune of `Jingle Bells": GeoWorks,

designate this class, Bruno Latour and Nikolaj Schultz coined the term “geo-social class.”3 Much of this class is not exploited in the classic Marxist sense of working for those who own the means of production; they are “exploited” with regard to the way they relate to the material conditions of their life: access to water and clean air, health, safety, Local

The archipelagic nature of the Philippines posed a number of difficulties in the monitoring and implementation of Build, Build, Build projects. How do we monitor 20,000 projects simultaneously in a country composed of roughly 7,640 islands? How do we get rid of ghost projects? How do we minimize discretion at DPWH? Secretary Mark Villar was adamant to find a solution, one that was progressive, forward thinking, and feasible. First, he introduced an automated monitoring system called the Infra-Track App, which utilizes geo-tagging, satellite technology, and drone monitoring. “ - Anna Mae Yu Lamentillo , Night Owl: A Nationbuilder’s Manual 2nd Edition (p. 174, Build, Build, Build Projects MIMAROPA)

Dahil isang arkipelagong bansa ang Pilipinas, mas nagiging mahirap ang pagsubaybay at pagpapatupad ng mga proyektong Build, Build, Build. Paano nga ba epektibong masusubaybayan ang 20,000 proyekto nang sabay-sabay sa isang bansang binubuo ng humigit-kumulang 7,640 isla? Paano natin maaalis ang mga ghost project at mga pagpapasyang lihis sa mga itinakdang alituntunin sa ahensiya? Desidido si Secretary Mark Villar na humanap ng mga solusyon na progresibo at posibleng maisakatuparan. Ipinakilala niya ang isang automated monitoring system na tinatawag na Infra-Track App, na gumagamit ng geo-tagging, satellite technology, at drone monitoring.” - Night Owl: Edisyong Filipino (p. 174, Proyektong Build, Build, Build MIMAROPA)

An hour after he leaves, his smell is still on the sheets, and Geo sinks into them. The first prickles of self-doubt are beginning to creep in. She’s an ex-con; Kaiser’s a cop.

Since the beginning of neanderthal man, personal branding has existed. Many choose to believe that personal branding is a new concept and is something that globalization and the expansion of the internet and new technologies have created. Because it is not new, it means we have hundreds of years, as a matter of fact, thousands, to learn and study.

While Sardinian authors, like Giuseppe Cossu in 1799, had been lamenting the oversight of the island’s history and “unfaithful geo- graphic maps” for centuries, there still seemed to be a lingering nar- rative of historical ambivalence, as if the island had been an empty stage until the arrival of Phoenicians and Romans; as if Sardinians had no ancient civilization or role in their own destiny—or, more importantly, as if they had no role in shaping Italy and the worlds be- yond their island. I couldn’t help but wonder if we were missing the most vital parts of the island and its history; that perhaps we needed to understand Sardinia if we were to truly understand the rest of Italy.

Millions of rural White voters seem undeterred or even thrilled by the former president's statements and actions. In fact, they are the only major geo-demographic cohort among whom Trump performed better in the 2020 presidential contest than he did four years earlier. With clear eyes and full hearts, rural Whites recognized Trump's exclusionary, reality-defying, undemocratic, and violent tendencies – and then rallied behind him because of, not despite, his repeated disregard for America's most sacred democratic traditions.

Her name is Geo and she dances on the sand…,” he sang. He couldn’t help it. “Like I haven’t heard that one before.” She rolled her eyes at his terrible rendition of the Duran Duran song “Rio.” “That song came out when I was, like, in kindergarten. You’re just like my dad. A big fan of eighties music.

Geo-engineering is nothing more than an extreme example of the very mind-set that has led us into the disastrous pass in which we find ourselves.

Olvidamos casi la mitad de la nueva información al cabo de veinte minutos. A las veinticuatro horas, se ha borrado cerca del 70 % y, un mes después, la pérdida alcanza el 80

These are hard times. Imperial death-pangs are never pleasant; and it seems we find ourselves in the midst of the geo-political playground when the empire is thrashing about in a vain attempt to maintain its idolatrous pursuit of wealth and power, seeking to be “great again,” seeking to demonize those whose own violence it fears.

(1) «¿A qué hora prevé ir a las urnas?»; (2) «¿Desde dónde prevé hacerlo?»; y (3) «¿Qué prevé estar haciendo antes de salir hacia allí?». Con estas tres preguntas se pretendía que los votantes establecieran las señales (momento, lugar y actividad) que les recordarían ir a votar.

Como es natural, pensar en el dónde y el cuándo para cualquier cosa que quiera hacer es una estrategia a la que recurro de forma constante en mi vida personal y profesional.

The catch-22 of this world of police is that those communities where the police do the worst are the same ones where safety is most needed, where entire sectors of the population are excluded from the formal workforce and left to hustle or starve, where poverty and mental health create a permanent feedback loop of crisis, and where there isn’t always anyone else to call.

Fighting against mass incarceration means building alternatives to prison, and insofar as these alternatives exist and the conditions underpinning the prison-industrial complex recede, the carceral state will wither away.

And yet, as we will see, the police don’t actually help. They don’t prevent violence, and they don’t make any measurable contribution to public safety. If anything, what the police are most adept at is eating up billions of dollars in resources that could be repurposed to build truly secure communities. The police have wormed their way into the very foundations of American society and work every day to make themselves—and their bloated budgets—seem indispensable.

Hans Kundnani, research director at the European Council on Foreign Relations and once a journalist in Berlin, seeks to relate Germany’s past to its recent behaviour in the eurozone crisis. He argues that history is in danger of repeating itself — not on the battlefield, but in the economy. His thesis is that today’s European Union is seeing a rerun of “the German question” that emerged after the founding of the Prussian empire. This time, Germany is not a military power but an economic one. Its economy is too dominant to preserve a stable balance with its eurozone and EU partners, yet too weak to enforce economic stability from above, he says. He calls it a “geo-economic semi-hegemon”, with the potential to cause a bitter and possibly disastrous conflict with its closest partners. Kundnani’s thesis is tempting. He believes that even today, Germans still feel they are victims — in the eurozone, suffering from the spendthrift behaviour of the southerners. A fear of Germany’s half-hearted hegemony is certainly shared in countries such as France, Italy and Greece. But this is not how Germans see themselves. The Germany that grew out of Stunde Null — the “zero hour” of 1945 — is a very different place from the insecure empire inaugurated by the Prussian Kaiser. The second world war, that greatest of self-inflicted national disasters, left the country divided and economically devastated. It has been overcome but not forgotten.

The only way to let that child within you out from the depths of your soul is to extract yourself from the things that are causing the stress. You need to retire from your current life—rethink, regroup, streamline, simplify, and start over! Furthermore, we all need to pause sometimes to reevaluate the important things in our lives: health, love, fun, adventure, experiences, knowledge, relationships.

The Great Oxygenation Event was contemporaneous with one of the most severe ice ages this world has ever known, an event known to geo-nerds as the Paleoproterozoic Snowball Earth episode.* This was probably no coincidence. At the time, Earth’s climate was likely being kept above freezing by a methane greenhouse. Methane is such a powerful infrared absorber that a very small amount of it can significantly warm a planet. It is also, however, an organic molecule that is easily and eagerly consumed by oxygen. So when all that oxygen released by the cyanobacteria built up in the atmosphere, it quickly destroyed the methane greenhouse, the atmosphere suddenly became more transparent to infrared radiation, and the temperature plummeted, plunging our planet into a complete global freeze. Such a deeply frozen condition could even potentially become a permanent dead-end state for a planet like Earth.

Researchers developed ways to extract genes from one species and insert them into the genetic code of another—a technique that can, among other things, cause invading insects to kill themselves. The organisms produced in this fashion, which we eat, are called Genetically Modified Organisms or GMOs, sometimes Genetically Engineered Organisms (GEOs) or, for this chapter, Genetically Modified Food (GMF).

Să te duci spre ei risipitor, cu fagurii plini, să te-ntorci avar, cu o inimă-n plus, măcar cu o inimă-n plus. Limpede să te duci spre ei, străveziu, ca o rază răzbătătoare, să te-ntorci dens, stufos, amețit — și-ntotdeauna să iei cîte unul cu tine, astfel ca, ținîndu-l în brațe, să-l încălzești pînă cînd vei vedea că încolțește. Și mereu să te-ntorci la ei, fugind de igrasia galbenă a singurătății, după legea glorioasei aritmetici a puterii umane 1 și cu 1 fac 11!

By linking India’s geo-political interests with its economic interests Dr Singh defined the new ‘geo-economics’ of Indian grand strategy.

a ray of light and hope is provided only by some liberal persons from the media. For example, Pakistani anchor Kamran Khan on Geo TV had the courage to ask these questions: ‘Why has it become a sin for us to call ourselves Pakistanis? Why is it that every terror attack anywhere in the world has a Pakistan connection? Why have our rulers followed a dual policy on terrorism if terrorists have bled us so badly?

When Putin was preparing to take back the presidency in Moscow, he published an essay in the fall of 2011 in a Russian newspaper announcing plans to regain lost influence among former Soviet republics and create “a powerful supra-national union capable of becoming a pole in the modern world.” Putin said that this new Eurasian Union would “change the geopolitical and geo-economic configuration of the entire continent.” Some dismissed these words as campaign bluster, but I thought they revealed Putin’s true agenda, which was effectively to “re-Sovietize” Russia’s periphery.

Looking to buy verified Apple Pay accounts? Here's why it's risky, potentially illegal, and what secure alternatives you should consider instead. Buy Verified Apple Pay Accounts: What You Need to Know Before Making a Risky Move Apple Pay has quickly become a global standard in digital wallets, offering fast, secure, and contactless payments for millions of users. With increasing demand, some individuals have started looking online for shortcuts—like trying to buy verified Apple Pay accounts to bypass the setup or verification process. But is that safe? Is it even legal? And does it really work? This article explores the truth behind buying such accounts, the risks involved, and the smarter alternatives you should consider instead. Why Are People Searching to Buy Apple Pay Accounts? Some of the common reasons include: Wanting to use Apple Pay without identity verification Accessing Apple Pay features from unsupported regions Using aged or “trusted” accounts for financial transactions Avoiding limitations on newer accounts These reasons may feel urgent, but the solution—buying a verified Apple Pay account—opens up a dangerous list of consequences. The Major Risks of Buying Verified Apple Pay Accounts ❌ 1. Violation of Apple’s Terms of Service Apple’s policy clearly prohibits the transfer, sale, or third-party use of Apple IDs or Apple Pay-linked accounts. If you're caught using someone else’s verified account, Apple may suspend or permanently disable the account—without warning. ❌ 2. Security and Legal Risks Using a purchased account can result in identity mismatch, fraud accusations, and even criminal charges depending on your jurisdiction. You’re also trusting sensitive payment data to an unknown seller, which could lead to theft. ❌ 3. No Ownership or Support Access Since the account isn't officially yours, you won’t have access to security recovery options or Apple customer support if something goes wrong. ❌ 4. Scam Possibility Many online sellers promising “verified accounts” are fraudulent. You may receive fake credentials, get scammed, or even purchase a compromised account. ❌ 5. Medium Policy Violation Publishing content that promotes unethical or illegal services—like selling/buying financial accounts—is strictly prohibited by Medium. So, we’re sharing this article only to educate and warn, not promote. What You Should Do Instead ✅ Create Your Own Verified Apple Pay Account Setting up Apple Pay is free and simple.

One simple, structural answer is size. The number of researchers in the world today has grown enormously in the last five hundred years, and geo metrically in the last fifty years. This has in turn two organizational expressions. First, each individual researcher is still required to prove his or her originality. Each must therefore find a niche, or an approach, or a reserved corner, or something. And there just do not seem to be enough of these to go around. So poaching has become a widespread strategy of survival. However, one can never admit that one is poaching, because that would prove lack of originality. So everyone insists that his or her particular variant is significantly different from everyone else’s variant.

Wy­jąt­ko­wo groź­ny dla resz­ty świa­ta, co po­ka­za­ły wy­pad­ki sprzed de­ka­dy. Trze­ci blok to po­tęż­ne lobby izra­el­skie. Potem jesz­cze lobby gór­ni­czo-naf­to­we.

I niech pan zgad­nie, w któ­rym kie­run­ku to re­gu­lu­ją! Oczy­wi­ście robią to w taki spo­sób, żeby więk­sza część kosz­tów ich dzia­łal­no­ści zo­sta­ła prze­rzu­co­na na in­nych. W tym przy­pad­ku na śro­do­wi­sko. W ten spo­sób ich pro­duk­ty mogą być śmiesz­nie tanie. A sek­tor ban­ko­wy? Do­kład­nie ta sama hi­sto­ria. Po­zwo­lo­no ban­kom w imię wol­no­ści ro­snąć do roz­mia­rów, gdy stały się zbyt duże, by upaść. I teraz rząd musi je ra­to­wać za każ­dym razem, gdy wpad­ną w kło­po­ty. I to nie tylko po­przez ba­ilo­uty. O wiele czę­ściej od­by­wa się to w spo­sób dużo bar­dziej za­ka­mu­flo­wa­ny. Przez dłuż­szy czas Fed mu­siał wpusz­czać w go­spo­dar­kę cięż­kie mi­liar­dy do­dat­ko­wych do­la­rów. W efek­cie na Wall Stre­et pa­nu­je nie­spo­ty­ka­na hossa. A re­al­na go­spo­dar­ka jak tkwi­ła, tak tkwi w kło­po­tach. Na rynek we­wnętrz­ny to się w ogóle nie prze­kła­da. To nie jest żadna de­re­gu­la­cja. To jest sa­mo­re­gu­la­cja.

Things had been different when Garveyism and Ethiopianism rather than afro-centrism and occultism set the tone. To contain modernity, to appreciate its colonial constitution and to criticise its reliance on racialised governmental codes all required finding an autonomous space outside it. A desire to exist elsewhere supplied the governing impulse. It was captured in compelling forms in the period's best songs of longing and flight, like Bunny Wailer's anthem ‘Dreamland’ 5. However, there is no longer any uncontaminated, pastoral or romantic location to which opposition and dissent might fly, and so, a new culture of consolation has been fashioned in which being against this tainted modernity has come to mean being before it. Comparable investments in the restorative power of the pseudo-archaic occur elsewhere. They help to make Harry Potter's world attractive and are routine features of much ‘new age’ thinking. They govern the quest for a repudiation of modernity that is shared by the various versions of Islam which have largely eclipsed Ethiopianism as the principal spiritual resource and wellspring of critique among young black Europeans. Their desire to find an exit from consumerism's triumphant phantasmagoria reveals them to be bereft, adrift without the guidance they would have absorbed, more indirectly than formally, from the national liberation movements of the cold war period and the struggles for both civil and human rights with which they were connected. Instead, an America-centred, consumer-oriented culture of blackness has become prominent. In this post-colonial setting, it conditions the dreams of many young Britons, irrespective of their ancestral origins or physical appearance. This brash and celebratory imperial formation is barely embarrassed by the geo-political fault-line that re-divides the world, opposing the overdeveloped north to the suffering south. That barrier provides the defining element in a new topography of global power which is making heavy demands upon the overwhelmingly national character of civil society and ideal of national citizenship. It is clear that the versions of black politics that belonged to the west/rest polarity will not adapt easily to this new configuration.

It wasn’t even the same country. By then he understood the geo-lingo. San Francisco was The City, Oakland was O-town, to be avoided at night—that was where the blacks lived—and the city of Berkeley was Berzerkeley, while Berkeley the school was Cal. The East Bay, where Berzerkeley was located, supposedly suburban, felt plenty busy. Collectively, it was the Bay Area, a megalopolis—oh how that word polished his tongue—where the elsewhere unimaginable was mere mundanity.

Sebab inilah, sebagai satu contoh, kita dapat menyaksikan betapa pertubuhan-pertubuhan antarabangsa yang tertentu telah melemparkan tuduhan kepada Malaysia sebagai kononnya tidak punya kebebasan mencukupi, semata-mata kerana kita tidak membenarkan rakyat kita secara terbuka menyalahi akan nilai-nilai dan tatasusila keagamaan yang pokok. Ini tidak bermakna Malaysia tidak mempunyai kelemahan dalam beberapa segi dasar, undang-undang atau pelaksanaannya; tetapi cemuhan Barat ke atas Malaysia atau negara-negara lain, tidak berdasarkan keprihatinan ikhlas terhadap prinsip keadilan, kebajikan atau kemanusiaan, melainkan sebagai alat dan senjata bagi memenuhi kepentingan ekonomi, geo-politik dan kebudayan mereka. Kebudayaan dan tamadun Barat sentiasa mencipta peralatan dan senjata baru yang lebih menarik dan canggih untuk senantiasa berada di puncak kekuasaan dan keagungan mereka dari segi sains, teknologi dan kebendaan.

Fetele salutară din apusul galben al soarelui băieții cari plecau la moarte Și de pe zidurile orașului se jeluiră ca în biblie și în legende: Să fi fost cel puțin una cu prunc sădit în pântec L-ar fi crescut toate mare, l-ar fi făcut bărbat Pentru nopțile lungi de iarnă care aveau să urmeze Și când inima lor chiar dacă nu s-ar fi dat Avea totuși nevoie de cineva care s-o ceară Care s-o dorească Și să se chinuie că n-o poate avea. Fetele au răscolit prin bălțile din preajma caselor puhave Căutând sămânța omenească de pe vremea când neluată în seamă Se scursese odată cu lăturile, cu excrementele și resturile de mâncare Prin stranii procese de onanie (Sămânța omenească altădată ca un colier de perle, ca o bijuterie Era acum verde și putredă) Fetele au pus flămânde gura în mocirlă Și-au supt-o pe toată, picătură cu picătură Apoi întinse cu pântecul rotund la soare Au așteptat Așa cum nu se așteaptă decât în biblie și în legende. (...) de furie au sărutat dezmetice toate obiectele plăsmuite cilindric Și au izbucnit în hohote de plâns încolăcindu-și pulpele pe arborii gigantici. (ÎN ANUL ACELA VECHILE AȘEZĂRI SE ZDRUNCINARĂ)

Poezia cuprinde însă în esența ei și alte posibilități încă neexplorate îndeajuns până azi. Una dintre ele și poate cea mai importantă este aceea care își face drum clocotitor în poezia modernă și care exprimă revolta pură a poetului în fața injustiției, a inegalităților umane și a convenționalismului stupid. În literatura noastră, „Blestemele” și „Florile de mucigai” ale lui Tudor Arghezi, și mai recent „Poemul invectivă” al poetului Geo Bogza au arătat ce formidabil potențial poetic poate conține această revoltă.

At times, however, during this long nightmare, in the eyes of one of us a light still gleamed: "It is not true, he is not gone." Oh, what a great and profound joy ! As though one suddenly hears that some dearly beloved people whom one thought dead are still alive. What a great joy it is to have so many friends with you, walking with you, alongside millions of people who know that "you are not gone," that you are not dead, that you are still alive, of the same flesh and blood as mankind.

When all people can think about is survival, and when they are thankful for the slightest handout, it’s hard to convince them that their saviors are the ones who caused their plight.

Les bergers qui vivent en été sur les sommets de Hășmașul Mare sont témoins, souvent avec effroi, de certaines tempêtes terrifiantes. Nulle part, aussi loin que se portent les regards et aussi loin que va l’imagination à l’intérieur des frontières du pays, il ne pleut, il ne neige et il ne vente tant, et avec autant de fureur, que sur ce colosse de pierre, contre lequel se brisent tous les nuages d’Ardeal. Au bord d’un précipice, un sapin se met à vaciller, jusqu’à ce qu’il touche celui de gauche, ensuite celui de droite, comme s’il faisait ses adieux aux frères avec lesquels il avait passé son enfance, et, d’un saut tragique, il se jette dans le vide. D’autres, emportés par la folie générale, se précipitent à sa suite vers des destinations inconnues et fatales. On les retrouvera plus tard, qui sait où, mordant la poussière et couverts de blessures profondes, comme des soldats tombés au combat. Une seule tempête, qui a fait rage il y a déjà un certain temps sur ce monde dévasté par de violents tremblements d’air a arraché de ses flancs cinquante milliers de sapins, les emportant dans les ravins. On les y aperçoit encore maintenant, tel un amas d’ossements frêles, emmêlés chaotiquement, qui pourrissent au fond des vallées perdues. Même les pics les plus orgueilleux se sentent menacés par les ouragans qui se déchaînent contre eux. Aveugles, brutales, les masses d’air les frappent de plein fouet, essayant de les arracher de leur place. Mais les pics, obstinés, résistent. Face à la puissance brute des éléments, ils opposent la leur, avec des dizaines d’arêtes tranchantes, qui s’entrechoquent violemment. (traduction Dolores Toma)
