However, there was something off about this whale. It was wearing a GoPro camera that had a belt with a label on the inside that read “Equipment of St. Petersburg.” The whale was most likely an animal spy, which was trained by the Russian government. Sounds crazy, right? Not at all. The idea of using animals as government operatives isn’t a new one. In fact, over 2,000 years ago the Romans were using pigeons to send secret military messages to each other. Pigeons were so effective that they were still being used during World War II. The United Kingdom alone used about 250,000 pigeons for a number of secret missions, such as communicating with their human spies behind enemy lines. Since then, the world’s militaries have thought of all sorts of ways to use animals to gather or pass secret information on—some more successful than others. 動物間諜出任務 二○一九年四月,一隻白鯨被人發現在挪威水域游泳——你可能會認為這並不是什麼特別的景象。然而,這隻鯨魚有些地方不太對勁。牠戴著一台GoPro攝影機,上面有一條皮帶,內側印有「聖彼得堡設備」標籤。這隻鯨魚很有可能是俄羅斯政府訓練的動物間諜。 聽起來很瘋狂,對吧?一點也不。用動物作為政府特務的想法並不是什麼新鮮事。事實上,古羅馬人在兩千多年前就用鴿子來互相傳遞祕密軍事訊息了。鴿子非常有效率,以致於第二次世界大戰期間仍被使用。光是英國就使用了約二十五萬隻鴿子執行一些祕密任務,像是在敵區與人類間諜交換訊息。 從那時起,全世界的軍隊就想出各種利用動物收集或傳遞祕密訊息的方法——有些方法比其他方法更成功。 Cats are known to have excellent poker faces. Because of this, they make perfect spies. That’s what the CIA thought when it placed listening instruments inside cats’ ears in the 1960s. However, the project ended after its top spy cat was run over by a taxi while staking out the Russian embassy in Washington D.C. The United States also developed a way to control insects with wires joined to their nerves. These spy insects would enter the enemy’s base to listen for secrets. Now, using modern technology, the US military has changed its focus to creating spying machines that are half robot, half insect. In the 1960s, the US Navy started training dolphins and sea lions to recover lost objects and detect mines in the ocean. They turned out to be perfect for the job—over 100 of them still work for the US military today! Throughout history, militaries have used animals to gain the upper hand over their enemies. So the next time you see an animal in public, think twice: it could actually be a secret agent on an important mission! 眾所周知貓非常擅於面無表情。因此牠們能成為完美的間諜。中央情報局在一九六○年代於貓耳朵裡裝入監聽器時是那麼想的。然而,在它頂尖的貓間諜在華盛頓特區監視俄羅斯大使館而遭到一輛計程車撞死時,這項計畫就結束了。 美國也研發出一種用接在神經上的電線來控制昆蟲的方式。這些間諜昆蟲會飛進敵軍基地來竊聽機密。現在,美軍用現代科技已改變焦點,轉而設計半機器人半昆蟲的間諜機器。 一九六○年代,美國海軍開始訓練海豚和海獅找回海洋中的失物及探測水雷。結果牠們很適合這份工作——今天,牠們仍有超過一百隻替美軍工作! 縱觀歷史,軍隊一直利用動物來比敵方取得更多優勢。所以下次你在公開場合看到一隻動物時再想一下:牠們事實上可能是一個正在執行重要任務的特務!

Soaring into the pages of history with Jimmy Doolittle's famed Tokyo Raiders, the North American B-25 Mitchell was the most-produced American medium bomber of World War II. Profusely illustrated, this volume examines the nuances of the external features and explores the inner workings of the B-25D model, the scarce hard-hitting, cannon-armed B-25H, and also the most abundantly-produced Mitchell bomber, the B-25J. Enhancing the color photographs, taken both on the ground and in the air, four vintage black-and-white images and 14 line drawings further illustrate details, while five color renderings of aircraft and markings provide a glimpse into the nature of WWII noseart.

To young Christians of the world, Pope Francis has a message for you: "Christ is alive, and he wants you to be alive!" In his fourth apostolic exhortation, Christus Vivit, Pope Francis encapsulates the work of the 2018 synod of bishops on "Young People, The Faith, and Vocational Discernment." Pope Francis has always had a special relationship with young people, and in his fatherly love for you he shows that: You can relate to young people in Scripture who made a difference You identify with the Christ who is always young You face difficult issues in the world today You yearn for the truth of the Gospel You are capable of amazing things when you respond to the Gospel You learn and grow with help from the faithful of all generations You need bold and creative youth ministry You can discover who God made you to be You are urged to pray for discernment Christus Vivit is written for and to young people, but Pope Francis also wrote it for the entire Church, because, as he says, reflecting on our young people inspires us all. "May the Holy Spirit urge you on as you run this race. The Church needs your momentum, your intuitions, your faith. We need them! And when you arrive where we have not yet reached, have the patience to wait for us."

This book may seem a simple accumulation of twenty-one public space projects in eight Latin American cities. On closer inspection, the presentation of project descriptions, photographs, and annotated drawings reflects a concern to analytically explain the operative aspects at work. The publication is not intended to serve only as a catalogue, guide, or manual on how to produce public space in spontaneous settlements. Rather, it goes beyond the aims of an index of best practices. It is intended, instead, as an empirical base for a critical and theoretical engagement with the problematic of development, social inclusion, public investment, (in)formal settlement, civil society and the public sphere. The publication achieves its final function at this third level, by providing a compelling argument to expand the agency of architects and urban designers and creatively find ways of justifying, financing, and building public spaces in communities —spaces that have a catalytic effectiveness in achieving significant urban and social transformation. This book was awarded by a Graham Foundation Grant and CAF Development Bank of Latin America.

This wide-ranging volume explores the tension between the dietary practice of veganism and the manifestation, construction, and representation of a vegan identity in today’s society. Emerging in the early 21st century, vegan studies is distinct from more familiar conceptions of "animal studies," an umbrella term for a three-pronged field that gained prominence in the late 1990s and early 2000s, consisting of critical animal studies, human animal studies, and posthumanism. While veganism is a consideration of these modes of inquiry, it is a decidedly different entity, an ethical delineator that for many scholars marks a complicated boundary between theoretical pursuit and lived experience. The Routledge Handbook of Vegan Studies is the must-have reference for the important topics, problems, and key debates in the subject area and is the first of its kind. Comprising over 30 chapters by a team of international contributors, this handbook is divided into five parts: History of vegan studies Vegan studies in the disciplines Theoretical intersections Contemporary media entanglements Veganism around the world These sections contextualize veganism beyond its status as a dietary choice, situating veganism within broader social, ethical, legal, theoretical, and artistic discourses. This book will be essential reading for students and researchers of vegan studies, animal studies, and environmental ethics.

This is the first collection of essays to approach the topic of Tantric Studies from the vantage point of ethnography and lived religion, moving beyond the centrality of written texts and giving voice to the everyday life and livelihoods of a multitude of Tantric actors. Bringing together a team of international scholars whose contributions range across diverse communities and traditions in South Asia, Southeast Asia, and the Himalayan region, the book connects distant shores of Tantric scholarship and lived Tantric practices. The contributors unpack Tantra’s relationship to the body, ritual performance, sexuality, secrecy, power hierarchies, death, magic, and healing, while doing so with vigilant sensitivity to decolonization and the ethics of fieldwork. Through diverse ethnographies of Tantra and attention to lived experiences and life stories, the book challenges normative definitions of Tantra and maps the variety of Tantric traditions, providing comparative perspectives on Tantric societies across regions and religious backgrounds. The accessible tone of the ethnographic case studies makes this an ideal book for undergraduate or graduate audiences working on the topic of Tantra.

Some decades ago, comprehensive geriatric assessment was referred to as the “new technology of geriatrics”, as research indicated many benefits of building models of care on assessment systems. Since those times, assessment-care technologies have proliferated, and in many countries have become reference standards. Work, however, continues to extend and expand geriatric assessment programs, as represented in the contents of this book.
