The Nissan GT-R Spec V is the first factory special edition to come from Nissan Japan. While the GT-R Spec V does not add a whole lot performance-wise to standard GT-R cars, its powerful styling enhancements, weight savings and trick high gear boost controller should ensure every unit will be snapped up by the Nissan devout in Japan.
Nissan GT-R Spec V Performance
Introduced at the Tokyo Auto Salon, the 2010 GT-R Spec V carries the same engine as other GT-R cars, though a boost controller is added which provides additional torque in high gear to pass that imported Corvette ZR1 on the highway, or the Nurburgring. Operated via a button on the dash, the extra boost engages for 80 seconds, then disengages on its own, presumably to save load on the engine.
Other Spec V performance extras include a high-flow titanium exhaust, adjustable more-aggressive Bilstein shocks and carbon-ceramic composite Brembo brakes front and rear. Did Nissan opt out of universally raising boost or engine tuning to aid maximum power output in order to make way for an even-more-aggressive GT-R variant? We hope so.
Nissan GT-R Interior and Exterior
A quick glance over the 2010 GT-R Spec V interior reveals the most obvious change here: no rear seat. Left behind are some rather strange looking luggage compartments, though the base GT-R's rear seat is not so useful anyway, and weight savings will be appreciated.
Outside the Spec V gets carbon fiber and titanium everything: a new rear spoiler that is sure to please Spec V clientele, a tricky carbon front grill and brake ducts, skirts and some beautiful Rays wheels also available from the NISMO performance shop for other GT-R models.
The price for all this Spec-V jazz? An astounding 15,750,000 yen, which works out to a hair over US $170,000 or almost $100,000 more than the current GT-R at current exchange rates. Don't expect the 2010 Nissan GT-R Spec V in the states, or anywhere else outside Japan, at least not yet. Stay tuned for more details as they arise!
Official Nissan Motor Co. Press Release
TOKYO (Jan. 8, 2009) – Nissan Motor Co., Ltd today announced a new limited-production Nissan GT-R SpecV model, which goes on sale at seven specially selected Nissan dealers throughout Japan on February 2, 2009. The GT-R SpecV is targeted specifically at enthusiast drivers who desire race car-level performance in a street-legal vehicle.
Developed around the multi-dimensional Nissan GT-R sports car, which was introduced just more than one year ago to universal global acclaim, the new SpecV model builds on the original's "ultimate supercar that anyone can enjoy driving anywhere, at anytime" philosophy – taking it to an entirely new level of "oneness between man and machine." The SpecV model includes unique body, interior and performance equipment and modifications, raising the GT-R's unmatched performance to even higher levels.
The GT-R SpecV's new exterior features include a carbon fibre rear spoiler, a carbon fibre grille, and carbon fibre brake ducts. The SpecV is available exclusively in Ultimate Black Opal (RP) body colour. Inside, the SpecV's unique two-seat interior (non-SpecV GT-R models also include a two-place rear seat) offers special Recaro carbon fibre bucket seats, while carbon fibre insets embellish the rear centre storage box, instrument panel and other trim areas.
Performance is enhanced with a new high gear boost control device, which momentarily increases boost of the engine's twin turbochargers for greater torque in the intermediate-to-high speed ranges to provide a more powerful feeling of acceleration, while also allowing the engine to operate at a lower speed for improved fuel economy. Other modifications include a titanium-coated exhaust system and carbon-ceramic brakes that provide powerful stopping performance.
The GT-R SpecV is also equipped with lightweight, racing-style forged aluminium wheels that were developed for this model and have been sold by Nissan Motorsports International (NISMO) since September 2008. The lighter unsprung weight provided by the new wheels, together with the enhanced braking capability, an exclusive suspension and high-grip tyres, combine to deliver the SpecV's exceptional performance.
The SpecV will be sold at the following seven dealer outlets, each of which is staffed by mechanics with special GT-R SpecV training and who are knowledgeable of racing circuit driving.

The locale may have been on the other side of the world, but the media language was straight outta of South Central. From George Bush's warning about "armed gangs ripping off their own people" to media tales of a land of drug-crazed looters, we were urged to see the U.S. intervention in Somalia as a replay of the L.A. riots.
Certainly, for all that the media repeated that this was a "humanitarian mission," there was a great deal of focus on the "enemy." Time magazine (12/14/92) headlined its report "Taking on the Thugs," with a two-page photo of armed Somalis who, we were informed, were "the forces of anarchy." Newsweek, in one hype- laden issue (12/14/92), described "a land of restless young men—and AK-47s," a nation under the control of "teenagers high on drugs" and "illiterate young men from the bush."
No Somalia report was complete without a mention of khat, the mild stimulant that came to be portrayed as a sort of East African crack. NBC's Tom Brokaw (12/7/92) was exceptionally shrill in a personal report on the dangers of khat (which he mispronounced like the English word "chat"), painting a picture of pre-teen "dealers" of a narcotic "related to cocaine."
Elsewhere, coverage hewed close to the stereotypes of "black-on-black" violence that have become familiar from LA. to Durban: feuding gangs/tribes/ clans destroying their own cities in senseless, ahistorical violence. Guns are reported to have spread rapidly and apparently spontaneously. Most of all, Somalis were presumed to lack the wherewithal to handle their own affairs: Either they were victims or they were perps. Coverage inevitably got a bit bizarre when the two overlapped: A Somali detained for "looting" a bag of food explained to CBS (12/5/92) that "I took it because I was hungry"—provoking Dar Rather to smirk, "He's still hungry, and maybe a little sore."
In this scenario, it was up to U.S. troops to be the "cavalry," in Colin Powell's phrase that was quickly picked up by the press corps. "When confronted with real force," ABC's Jim Laurie confidently speculated (12/4/92), "the young, untrained gunmen who roam the streets will simply disappear." In one evocative turn of phrase, Time's Strobe Talbott (now joining the Clinton State Department) referred to Somalia as "humanity's burden." The presumed color—and nationality—of humanity was left for the reader to judge.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Secretary of State Issues Election RemindersDunlap Hopes for Record-Setting TurnoutAUGUSTA , MAINE Secretary of State Matthew Dunlap is urging all Maine voters to participate in next Tuesday's statewide Referendum Election. He issued final reminders on Friday to encourage maximum participation. In doing so, Secretary Dunlap noted that Maine is a national leader in voter turnout, and is coming off November 2003 and 2004 elections in which the state set new turnout records. It's important that Maine people continue to set the standard for voter participation. Our state has a rich history of civic engagement, and I'm hopeful that the upcoming election will further that tradition. Although referendum elections typically don't attract as many voters as general elections, the people of Maine nonetheless have an opportunity to again demonstrate their commitment to democracy and the electoral process, Dunlap commented. Voter Registration: Secretary Dunlap reminded residents it's never too late to register to vote in Maine . He explained that people can register until, and including, Election Day. During the 20 days leading up to the November 8th election, voter registration must take place in-person with the municipal Registrar of Voters. He indicated that people wishing to register should contact their town office or city hall. Additional information is available online at www.maine.gov/sos, through e-mail ( email@example.com) or by calling Maine 's Division of Elections at (207) 624-7650. Absentee Balloting: Dunlap also reminded voters that it's not too late to request an absentee ballot. Voters may request a ballot for themselves by calling their town office. Contact information for municipal election officials can be found on the Secretary of State's website or by calling the Elections Division. Citizen's Guide to Referendum Election: The Department of the Secretary of State has developed a Citizen's Guide to the Referendum Election, in partnership with the Department of the Attorney General and the State Treasurer's Office. It provides detailed information about the 7 questions, including 5 bond issues that will appear on Maine 's statewide ballot. Copies of the Citizen's Guide were sent to all municipalities. It is also available online at www.maine.gov/sos . eDemocracy: Additionally, in order to increase access to information about government and the election process, the Secretary of State's office worked with other agencies and organizations to create Maine 's eDemocracy website ( http://www.maine.gov/portal/government/edemocracy/index.html). It provides substantial resources for all citizens, and may be especially useful for students, educators and new residents of Maine . It can be easily accessed by visiting www.Maine.gov. Political Signs: The unauthorized removal or destruction of political signs is a civil violation under Maine law (Title 23, Section 1917-A), and may carry a fine of up to $250. Specifically, the law states that a person who takes, defaces or disturbs a lawfully placed sign bearing political messages relating to a general election, primary election or referendum commits a civil violation for which a forfeiture of up to $250 may be adjudged. The law does not apply to a person authorized by a candidate or political committee to remove signs placed by or at the direction of that candidate or political committee. It also does not apply to the landowner, or agent of the landowner, on whose property a sign has been placed. Additional information is available online at www.maine.gov/mdot/traffic-counts/public-signs.php or by calling the Maine Department of Transportation, Right of Way Maintenance Control. |

Uhh... what was the question again.
9th Jun 2001, 01:37 PM
The question is if unreal2 will be a true single player game, meaning if the sp will be worth it. I've heard there will be 26 levels. .. Ok this can be sufficient, but imho .. it's not THAT much.
Unreal had 38 levels? right?
And i do hope the mercenaries will return in unreal 2. They're as good as the skaarj warriors.

Unreal2 is Voyager Elite Force made on the Unreal Engine :D
According to JeffK of somethingawful (he of dreddfull speling fame) U2 could be subtitled "Revenge of the Nali Fruits" (Heh!)
29th Jun 2001, 07:20 PM
Hey what can i say? :D
30th Jun 2001, 12:33 PM
I hope those cute nali's return, always a pleasure to scare those four armed weirdo's, or just plain shoot them in the head.
btw, any1 noticed that the nali culture is like a cult, they have this uber-priest and hang their own kind on a cross, i wonder where the makers got this from ;)
1st Jul 2001, 07:09 PM
You're talking about the godess vandora, you know, the wall painting in "temple of vandora"?
Btw eh.. :) it's not the nali who crucify their own kind, those nice skaarj are responsible for doing so :D
or those nice mercenaries, or those nice kralls.. or brutes, or .. eh no titans simply crush them.. :)
sliths? retards. That's what they are. retards.
2nd Jul 2001, 04:12 PM
I love that one! :D
2nd Jul 2001, 07:11 PM
You know, if you frag one nali in a level, all the other nali's will run away from you saying "habouji" :D
Even the ghost nali in bluff eversmoking.
Eh the ghost NALIS.
P.s. use the homer simpson voice for the nali, it really works. :D
3rd Jul 2001, 03:09 PM
I remember them saying "Habouji!" when they were friendly...am I wrong?
3rd Jul 2001, 04:14 PM
Yes you are :D for example: frag a nali in "nali castle". Now go and open the cells in the dungeon, and the nalis will put their hands to their heads and move backwards, when they see you, and the first thing they'll say is "habouji" :)
When they want to show something, they say: nanali na.. or something like that :D
3rd Jul 2001, 05:24 PM
Hey, I've checked it. When they see you they say Haboudji or Bwoundi...when they are afraid they say Qupadah!
That dungeon part is different...it's a scripted sequence. (Ya know...they run out towards the surface.) I see stuff from a mappers perspective. :D
4th Jul 2001, 08:45 AM
No no no no no no no no no :D
I know about the nali that runs towards the eh lift and he gets bombed etc etc :D
No, i'm talking about the other captive nalis, you know?
I've been playing lots of oldskool lately, and made a couple of instagib runs thru the game, last run was "kill everything in sight" :D
And when I killed ONE nali, the others all said the same thing when they saw me: "ha-bouji" :D
Qupada is when a skaarj attacks them..?
batai va is when they wanna show you something :D
4th Jul 2001, 12:45 PM
well nali's won't be returning... they are an non space faring indiginous(sp?) species of that world. although assuming they built that floating rock town you'd think they could do a little space faring.
4th Aug 2001, 10:19 AM
Hmmm, 26 levels? That may not seem very much, but take another look at the screenshots. Those levels look as if they're going to be pretty damn big, so w00t :)
The Nalis won't be returning, apparently. Hopefully we'll get a different race of docile people who run around opening secrets and waiting to be shot. Hoorah!

My grandmother has a hardy hib that is growing fuller every year. She wants me to trim it back. I told her we have to wait until the fall. How do I safely divide this plant? I don't want to kill it, but she wants it trimmed so next year it won't be out of control. |

- Posted by beachbarbie z9a NC (My Page) on Fri, Jul 6, 07 at 20:21
Perhaps others have other advice, but here's what I think. You could go about it two ways: Wait until spring when the new growth comes out. Trim back some of the new stems at the ground level. That'll keep it in check. OR: I suppose you could dig it up and cut off some stems that have roots. This could work in theory. I'd still wait until Fall though. Trying to do it now, in summers heat, would really stress the plant out. Barb |
We have several very large, hardy hibiscus that we control by pruning. Cuttings that are at least as round as my thumb (I have a small thumb) are trimmed to about 14", stripped of all greenery and stuck into a 5 gallon nursery-type planter. I put just enough dirt to keep the stalks upright and keep it very damp in a shady part of the garden. I have several varieties so each planter contains all the cuttings for a single variety. This method works at any time of the year in our warm climate. I give away hibiscus plants to friends & family. |
Hi, I divided my mature hibiscus this past spring with excellent results! I dug up the whole plant just after the first shoots were popping up and shoved a spade into the center of the root ball. Then divided each half a second time. Ended up with 4 much smaller hibiscus plants. This was an experiment I decided to try as I have 2 in a relatively cramped area and wanted to see how it would deal with the trauma of the division. I left the other alone for comparison. The hibiscus I divided is currently only 3 feet tall and has nice healthy stalks with buds. Just the size I wanted. The undivided hibiscus is over 5 feet tall and is wildly out of control. I plan on dividing it in early fall. I agree that you should wait until the temps die down a bit more. Wait until the average temps are in the low 70's to 60's. Good luck! Tracy |

Mr. Farley has experience preaching to and teaching high school and adult students (IBE). "Teaching in general is both a challenge and a delight that reaps wonderful benefits. This is certainly the case in regard to teaching the Bible. No other subject is more intellectually stimulating and personally applicable to both teacher and student. I pray that my students will grow in the grace and knowledge of Christ as a result of the high school Bible module series."
Mr. Manuel Mendoza is excited about the privilege of teaching students the Bible. He accepted Christ as his personal Savior at the age of 14. It wasn't until he was 21 years old that he knew the Lord's calling for his life was to preach His Word. "The Bible can convert the soul of the unbeliever, and it cleanses the soul of the believer. The Bible is important for our times, and, therefore, it must be taught accurately. For me, teaching the Bible is a great joy and privilege. My desire is to help guide your student through a life that is pleasing to Jesus Christ. My goal is for the student to strive for holy living by developing sound convictions based on God's Word."
Mr. May enjoys teaching from God's Word. "God's Word is powerful. It convicts, encourages, challenges, and strengthens the believer--and it is still the final and absolute authority for us today. All of God's Word is just as relevant and applicable to us as it was to those to whom it was originally written. For these reasons it is exciting and challenging to teach the Bible to your student. My goal is that each student will deepen his knowledge of God's Word, better understand how the Bible applies to him, and grow in his relationship with Christ."

Burt Grossman: Getting to the Juicy Stuff
Posturing has already started between the two sides in the upcoming NFL labor dispute. Although it's still in the pre-game warm-up stage, reading between the lines and newspaper quotes shows both sides expect – or are at least positioning – for a lockout.
The centerpiece of the battle is the percentage of revenue sharing. The real issue is not the percentage but the true gross number on which the percentage is based. It has long been whispered that the greatest untold story in sports is what NFL owners actually make, as compared to what they report. Monies paid to themselves, family members and subsidiary companies through those huge consulting fees and offshore money transfers to lower the bottom line first, thus lowering the players' claim to their cut of the pie. And now the owners also want the players to take more money off the top to cover costs for stadiums. Is that like General Motors asking the UAW to help them finance a new car factory while also taking a pay cut?
The interesting part of this is the Union's inability (or lack of motivation) to actually pursue an audit of the various teams' books. Part of the issue has been the belief by the majority of retired players that Gene Upshaw was in bed with the NFL owners, he was paid a huge salary in comparison to other professional sport union heads yet delivered little or nothing compared to other union leaders in professional sports. 60% of revenue to the players may seem like a fair deal but if the number that the 60% is based on is tainted, isn't the whole deal tainted? But how do you go about verifying that actual number and the bigger question is: Why does the Union continue to beg for the numbers to be revealed rather that force the numbers to be revealed? Or could there be old side deals lurking under the surface from the Upshaw days that absolutely no one wants to have see the light of day?
The common belief among most retired players is that Gene Upshaw was compensated to not pursue the real numbers but the reality is 50% of the whole pie is always a much better deal than 60% of half the pie; that is, unless you dress it up to look like the Princess Bride and not the true gross revenue of the NFL.
There is a little-publicized case working its way right now through arbitration and eventually the courts that has the potential to change all of this and lift the veil of secrecy surrounding what NFL clubs really make. It deals with collusion claims between two separate clubs and the failure to make severance payments to retired players during the 1990's. The clubs involved refuse to provide proof of payment while at the same time refusing to explain some disturbing documentation that shows apparent collusion and failure on their part to have followed through on their contractual obligations. The important thing about this case is that it holds the potential to advance to the courts and force financial disclosure of two NFL teams through subpoenas. The NFLPA has agreed to represent the plaintiff in this issue, marking the first time the Union has stepped up to actually represent a retired player in a claim.
It's pretty clear the NFL will never voluntarily open its books to the Union. The real question is: Why is the Union still asking and begging? Why not find a way to force a club to open their books through a trial or court subpoena? Or maybe the IRS…? The previous regime under Upshaw may have been compensated not to pursue the real numbers but why hasn't DeMaurice Smith seized on this opportunity? By choosing to back this little known severance issue along with the timing of the current CBA expiration, maybe – just maybe – this little case could finally lift the veil off this well-guarded secret: Just how much money does the NFL really make?

Breaking a commandment — or ignoring it?
President Ronald Reagan regularly quoted what he called the 11th commandment — Thou shalt not speak ill of any Republican. Editor Don Whitten takes a look at national and Mississippi politics where it appears a number of Republicans aren't following those directions at all. (February 26, 2014, Page 4)
Questionable behavior by elected officials
Elected government officials are supposed to be representing us, right? News Editor Jonathan Scott writes about a couple of these officials and some recent actions that appear somewhat questionable, and he wonders if they're aware of the perception and appearance many of their constituents are getting. (January 17, 2013, Page 4)
Home help the key to any school's success
Charter schools tops conversation these days at most water coolers and coffee shops in Mississippi so Editor Don Whitten takes a closer look at the issue and says there's more to helping Johnny learn to read than different kinds of schools. (February 24, 2012, Page 4A)
Funds low for election chests
Financially, the races for state Senate and House of Representatives are still fairly affordable for most candidates. Candidates had until May 10 to file financial reports. (May 17, 2011, Page 1)

Cozumel Arrivals: 29 Ships this Week
1/25 - Numbers remain high this week in Cozumel as cruise ship arrivals dip to 29 ships registered to dock for the fourth week of January 2015. This is 2 less than the number of ships last week and 9 more than the "20 in port" which marks a "high season." With High Season now in gear, an estimated 87,000 people will visit Cozumel this week via these cruise ships leaving an estimated US$ 7 million dollars behind in the local economy.
High season for cruise ship arrivals typically runs from November 15 - April 15 each year with the remaining 7 months of the year considered "low season." However it seems this year, Cozumel is enjoying a much welcome early beginning to high season!
This week Puerta Maya will be the big economic winner as 11 ships dock at Puerta Maya, 10 will dock at TMM/SSA International pier while Punta Langosta pier will see 8 arrivals and the downtown San Miguel pier will have -0- ship arrivals.

Illegal Removal of Black Coral Still a Problem
Black coral is dying off rapidly because of irresponsible divers who continue to extract it illegally. So it is important that the federal authorities address this problem and punish those who are caught in this illegal activity. The President of the Union of Craftsmen of Cozumel's Coral Black, David Calderon Uc, is sorry to say that divers continue to prey illegally on this marine material and has asked the federal authorities to be more vigilant with this practice since it is clear that it is affecting whatever portion of the species that remains.
He stated that while there is a lot of black coral in the sea, the illegal removal must stop because it is an activity that affects those who depend on this material to survive. So he asked that while the municipal police patrol the cruise ship piers, if they detect people carrying any black coral in bulk that they check for permits to eradicate the illegal trade.
So far, in Cozumel only two permits exist nationwide for the extraction of black coral, which belong to Gamaliel Chan Aguayo, and Armando López Maglah, professional divers who have much experience extracting this material without causing damage to the environment. He pointed out that in Cozumel are about 30 families that depend on black coral to survive.
Cuba Poses No Threat for Cozumel's Tourism
Cozumel is not worried about the opening of Cuba as a new tourist destination now that it has solved problems with the United States stated a Member of the National Association of Tourism Water Operators (ANOAT) in Cozumel, Cesar Zepeda Escamilla.
"At this time the water sports operators are not concerned with the opening of Cuba since we have better equipment and years of experience" explained Escamilla. In addition, he stressed that the island boasts better infrastructure than Cuba. Therefore it would be difficult to beat Cozumel as a tourist destination. He said that on the subject of reefs, that Cuba is not, nor will be a competition for Cozumel, since Cozumel has the best marine ecosystem of the Caribbean Sea.
"We have done research on the reefs of Cuba and it does not compare at all to the beauty of this island. When Cuba opens, it will only be another Island destination to visit."
Cozumel Recycles 170 Tons of Kelp
Students and employees of the City Council have removed 170 tons of kelp that had accumulated on the coast of Cozumel adjacent to the municipal pier.
The director of the Federal Maritime Zone (Zofemat), David Martínez Viana, explained that last Monday, with the help of a dump truck, 14 cubic meters of kelp (about 150 tons) was removed from the area from the San Miguel dock to 2nd Street. And on Tuesday an additional 20 tons. The collected residue was transferred to an area where it will be temporarily sheltered until it finishes the process of degradation then it will be returned to the beach. Viana Martínez, explained that this build-up of Sargassum is a product of the cold fronts from the season associated with climate change.
The official explained that with the help of 150 people including workers from Zofemat, public services, environment and ecology, cadets from public security, students from high schools and Universities , as well as the Volqueteros "Vicente Guerrero" (truck drivers ) Union and other companies, they have managed to improve the view of the coast of the island.
Cozumel's National Parks Raise 10 Million Pesos
An average of $ 10 million pesos was collected last year in the sale of more than 350,000 bracelets used by national and foreign visitors who attended the National Parks of Cozumel which covers from Caleta to Punta Chiqueros. These resources are sent to the Commission of Natural Protected Areas (Conanp), reported Christopher González Baca.
The interviewee stated that last year $ 10 million pesos was raised, $ 2 million more than 2013. This is a good amount of income for the island in the sale of bracelets which tourists must purchase to enter to the National Parks or Natural Protected Areas.
The bracelets were sold to about 350,000 people, at a cost of 28 pesos per unit. The cost is expected to increase to 30 pesos soon. Highest sales were seen in the months of April, March and December. Although visits were high during the holidays of Easter and summer, December was busiest.
He also said that all the resources obtained are sent to the Commission on Natural Protected Areas (Conanp), since according to the Ministry of Environment and Natural Resources is used for usable resources and the improvement in the protection of turtles arriving at the beaches in the National Park. In addition to keeping alive the areas that are not visited, for example; Chinchorro or areas that are to the South of the island.
Renate Herberger Swims for the Conservation of the Seas
The long distance swimmer Renate Herberger will attempt to swim 120 kilometers of coastline around the Island of Cozumel to raise awareness for the need for conservation of the seas and species of flora and fauna residing in them to assist future generations. The swimmer of German origin will spend about a week swimming eight hours a day to an average of 20 kilometers per day. This is the first time that she will try a tour of this nature.
Renate said that in her experience, the marine sanctuaries do not receive the necessary protection and we know more about the Moon than oceans. She commented that 5% of the dolphins that exist in Cozumel are imprisoned and this is torture for these marine animals, and that the garbage generated by cruise tourism and pollution are the main cause of climate change. Marine ecosystems are of fundamental importance for the Earth, said the German who resides in Canada. Other locations the planet where she has swum are Barbados, Costa Rica, Germany and Mexico in the waters of the sea of Cortez.
The swimmer was going to start her swim last week at the main down town pier however; the event might have been modified due to inclement weather.
Cozumel Presents Mayan Sunset Rituals
With the aim of attracting more and better tourism to Cozumel and on the initiative of the Confederation Employers of the Mexican Republic (Coparmex), a representation of a Mayan ceremonial-ritual called "Maya sunset" will take place.
Juan González Castelán, director of tourism on the island of Cozumel explained that in this show is it estimated that there will be around 30 actors on stage, members of the folkloric ballet, all characterized as the ancient inhabitants of the island. This event matches the four areas which seek to promote tourism such as cultural, ecological, sports and the underwater world.
The show will be promoted among hotels guests on the island. Visitors will be invited to attend the presentations that will be held in the evenings during sunset. The scenario will take place at the main Esplanade of the flag. This event seeks to publicize the importance of Ixchel, Goddess Mother of the Mayans, to National and International visitors. As of right now, the presentations were scheduled to begin by the end of January.
Missing Link of the American Man Found in Tulum
It is rare that international media turns its gaze to Mexico due to an archaeological discovery but several years ago, the remains of a 12,000 year old skeleton named Naia was discovered in the Black Hole cenote in Tulum.
The Greek archaeologist Spyridon Marinatos used to say that "To dig is to open a book written in the language which the centuries have spoken within the Earth". It was the State of Quintana Roo, in an underwater cave, which spoke to tell this probable story: A girl of about 15 years of age was interned in a cave in search of water when the irregularity of the soil caused her stumble and fall to the bottom. The young woman drowned, but her body was well preserved by the ecosystem to the extent that the archaeologists of the Project Speleological Tulum (PET) concluded that there was a genetically intact skeleton that has been found on the continent. "The so called missing link in the history of the American man".
The discovery of Naia (named in honor of the nymph Naiad guardian of the sweet waters of the Greek culture) revealed that the American man has its origin in the group that crossed the Bering Strait. The natives of the Mainland acquired their own physical features only as a form of microevolution to adapt to the conditions of their new land.
Science magazine was the first to reveal the news. Immediately, National Geographic then titled the great event: "Naia- help to solve the mystery of the first Americans." Archaeologists from around the world had always wondered why native Americans do not seem to have more ancestors who came to America during the Pleistocene era. Naias remains have craniofacial features of ancient paleoamericanos and mitochondrial DNA of native Americans today.

text: 26 February 2012 archive Tweet See all show photos WITH the sun shining outside it was a bit of a surprise to find ourselves in a dark warehouse-style hangar for the Trussardi show this morning. Who turned out the lights? But, in the corner, some brightness came courtesy of fruit and veg stands and a little railway track - all to signal the Trussardi woman this season who, the show notes told us, "dares to climb the Peruvian Andes for autumn/winter 2012-13". That's quite the fashion feat. But what Umit Benan Sahin - for whom this is his second season at the label (prior to that it was Milan Vukmirovic running the show) - was trying to do was convey the idea in his mind, which is always about travelling. "This season it was about Peru, but next season it will be something else," he explained backstage noting that it was a holiday with a friend ten years ago that inspired the collection. "I saw all these stylish women and wanted to bring what I saw into the luxury world. I presented exactly what I wanted," he said, and was happy to admit he didn't mind if no one else did. It makes sense, then, that the designer sent out a confident message and kept his collection tight and centred around masculine looks in a mature colour palette that started in grey and oat-y tones and wandered (up those Andes), in bright tan red and sage-y green. Out came oversized blazers, beneath which were belted jumpers and blanket skirts and serious boots with a hint of a walking sock. Backpacks - for every intrepid traveller requires one - accompanied most looks, as did slicked-back, plaited hair to emphasise that sense of masculinity. A similar effect was achieved with the use of cord and pinstripe on those oversized blazers. Benan Sahin had said that last season it was important to present the personality of his woman and make his mark. There's a confidence in him and there's a confidence in his woman - we wonder which mountain she'll be trekking up next. SEE THE TRUSSARDI SHOW ARCHIVE Jessica Bumpus Continue reading Back to top

Modern society has become so dependent on computer technology, that many of us would rather browse the Internet or play video games rather than enjoy the outdoors or exercise at the local gym—and similarly, the Companhia Athletica ad campaign asks you to be more proactive and "Switch your routine for ours."
Created by Murilo Melo, a Brazilian artist, the Companhia Athletica ad campaign is both clever and creative. It features arrangements of computer, game console and television parts, the main technological products that distract us from leading healthier lifestyles. Interestingly enough, by embracing these tech parts, the posters seem to be asking us to simply redirect our energy and passion for these devices to exercise. It acknowledges the fact that modern society will never be able to really let go of such pastimes.
