een under extreme pressure all year

Ned Ludd and his 19th century band of “luddites” waged war against the fragmenting force of industrialization. Today’s technology haters repeat the familiar refrain. Until recently http://www.sanjosesharksteamstore.com/adidas-dylan-demelo-jersey , their claim was not without merit. Then along came social networking, connecting friends-of-friends, distant relatives and even perfect strangers.

So, what’s the next big thing? The web’s final frontier just might be your own back yard. Enter LocalBlox – a burgeoning new site designed to connect you with the people in your neighborhood – those folks you pass every day on your way to the local park or caf?.

LocalBlox is the brainchild of Sabira Arefin, who envisioned a virtual space where neighbors could connect and share information about their own http://www.sanjosesharksteamstore.com/adidas-chris-tierney-jersey , real-world communities. “I thought it would be nice to have a Facebook for neighbors,” says Arefin, “You can share information on the latest happenings, or just ping them and say hello. Who has the time to knock on doors these days?”

LocalBlox seeks to build a bridge between individuals and their communities with listings for events, news feeds http://www.sanjosesharksteamstore.com/adidas-brent-burns-jersey , a photo album open to all and a community wall for informal discussion and recommendations. The Localblox ambassador program invites residents who are passionate about their neighborhood to become volunteers and guide their neighbors in their search to connect. In the very near future, LocalBlox intends to hire neighborhood managers in over 40,000 communities across the United States.

Engaging the interest and commitment of both residents and local merchants is a fundamental part of Arefin’s vision. In an effort to help local businesses and expand this first ever hybrid of the virtual-natural community, LocalBlox is offering free advertising to small businesses for a limited time. “LocalBlox was founded on the premise that physical communities are the most natural and organic,” says Arefin. “What is a more natural way to interact than shopping in your own neighborhood? Bringing the focus back to the community will help bolster local economies and renew a sense of belonging.”

Oxford Anthropologist Robin Dunbar’s famous study regarding relationships and ideal community size suggests that there is a limit to the number of people with whom we can forge a meaningful bond. What has become known as “Dunbar’s number” (roughly 150 personal connections) has been explained by evolutionary psychologists as a product of our long history as a species – some 40 million years – spent wandering the landscape in small http://www.sanjosesharksteamstore.com/adidas-brenden-dillon-jersey , hunter-gatherer tribes. Facebook friends numbering in the 250+ range and 10,000 years of civilization notwithstanding, our biological roots crave real world intimacy and interconnectedness with those who share our physical space.

And what about the modern luddites – that remaining fraction of a percent of the industrialized world who refuse to cross the digital divide as a matter of conscience? Will they ever acknowledge that the technological arc beginning with the industrial revolution has come full circle, from dehumanizing monster to community builder?

Who knows? And who cares! They’ll never read this.

MOSCOW http://www.sanjosesharksteamstore.com/adidas-brandon-mashinter-jersey , July 14 (Xinhua) -- The deal on the Iranian nuclear program inked by Teheran and six major world powers is a step to protect world stability, Russian President Vladimir Putin said Tuesday.

"Despite the attempts to justify forceful scenarios, the negotiators made a firm choice in favor of stability and cooperation, which will be assigned to a UN Security Council resolution," the Kremlin press service cited Putin as saying.

A comprehensive agreement was clinched Tuesday between Iran and the P5 Plus One group -- namely Britain http://www.sanjosesharksteamstore.com/adidas-brandon-bollig-jersey , China, France, Russia and the United States plus Germany -- after more than two weeks of bargaining in Vienna, the capital of Austria.

Noting that the relevant sides have been negotiating the agreement for many years, Putin said the world today "breathes a sign of relief."

Moscow welcomes the deal and is satisfied that the decision was based on the solid foundation of international laws http://www.sanjosesharksteamstore.com/adidas-barclay-goodrow-jersey , including the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons, and that the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) safeguards the agreement.

Putin thanked all participants of the talks who have consistently supported the process of finding a reliable diplomatic and political solution to the Iranian nuclear problem.

He expected the IAEA to carefully monitor the implementation of the nuclear deal and all relevant sides to fully comply with the provisions of the agreement.

Russia would do everything possible for the full implementation of the agreement to safeguard regional and international non-proliferation regimes and stability, Putin said.

The president also noted that the Vienna deal injects new impetus into Russia-Iran relations, including their cooperation in the area of the peaceful use of nuclear energy, while external restrictive factors http://www.sanjosesharksteamstore.com/adidas-aaron-dell-jersey , in particular international sanctions against Iran, will be gradually removed.

The deal specifies key areas such as sanction relief and an action plan, nuclear technology cooperation, an implementation monitoring committee, the capping of Iran's nuclear capacity as well as drafting a UN Security Council resolution.
