This dilapidated sign sits in the yard of Cardozo Senior High School (at least I think that's the right school). This school has an amazing vantage point, and should rightly be a point of pride for a community, but the forlorn exterior is cause for concern. 13th & Clifton St NW, Washington, DC.
"Those who know nothing of foreign languages know nothing of their own."
It's actually true what Johann Wolfgang von Goethe once said. Just take a joke and try to translate it into another language.
As a Japanese language major I often encounter various problems translating either German into Japanese or vice versa. Too often, I run into misunderstandings and information gets lost along the process of translating. I wish for my knowledge of languages to be infinite one day. As for now, I hold dear what I have learned up until now.
Thus, my second entry into the weekly assignment is knowledge.
The stately facade of the Library of Congress stands tall under dramatic skies, a beacon of knowledge and history in the nation’s capital. Its grand architecture, intricate stonework, and towering columns embody the strength and significance of one of the world’s largest libraries. This low-angle view emphasizes the grandeur and weight of the institution, reminding us of the knowledge and history safeguarded within these walls. How does this iconic structure inspire your curiosity for history and learning? #LibraryOfCongress #WashingtonDC
Throughout history, humans have developed different mediums and practices in preserving knowledge and culture. Virtual Reality (VR) is a medium which until recent years has been fairly exclusive due to the expensive technology and step learning curve in creating experiences. In recent years, this technology has become less expensive and more user friendly in the creation of 360/VR videos and 3D game environments through open-source game software like Unity. This panel will bring together an innovative, international group of cultural organizers using VR as a means to preserve and transmit language and traditional knowledge. We hoped to construct this panel in groups of one organisational rep and one participant.
Panelists discussed the trials and tribulations of creating these projects and the impacts they see that this technology will have on the future.

QuoteoftheDay 'What cannot make a human humane isn't any knowledge at all.' - His Holiness Younus AlGohar
A clearly marked route links the mainland to the island across the sands and mud. Newcomers are cautioned against using this route unless accompanied by a person with local knowledge. Open times are NOT published anywhere for the Pilgrims' Way, so there are safety boxes on stilts positioned along the route in case you are cut off by the rising tide.
