    How Ninja Conquered the World THE TIMELINE OF SHINOBI POP CULTURE’S WORLDWIDE EXPLOSION Version 1.3 ©Keith J. Rainville, 2020 How did insular Japan’s homegrown hooded set go from local legend to the most marketable character archetype in the world by the mid-1980s? VN connects the dots below, but before diving in, please keep a few things in mind: • This timeline is a ‘warts and all’ look at a massive pop-culture phenomenon — meaning there are good movies and bad, legit masters and total frauds, excellence and exploitation. It ALL has to be recognized to get a complete picture of why the craze caught fire and how it engineered its own glass ceiling. Nothing is being ranked, no one is being endorsed, no one is being attacked. • This is NOT TO SCALE, the space between months and years isn’t literal, it’s a more anecdotal portrait of an evolving phenomenon. • It’s USA-centric, as that’s where VN originates and where I lived the craze myself. And what happened here informed the similar eruptions all over Europe, Latin America etc. Also, this isn’t a history of the Japanese booms that predated ours, that’s someone else’s epic to outline. • Much of what you see spotlighted here has been covered in more depth on VintageNinja.net over the past decade, so check it out... • IF I MISSED SOMETHING, TELL ME! I’ll be updating the timeline from time to time, so if you have a gap to fill or correction to offer drop me a line! Pinholes of the 1960s In Japan, from the 1600s to the 1960s, a series of booms and crazes brought the ninja from shadowy history to popular media.

  • Idioms-And-Expressions.Pdf
    Idioms and Expressions by David Holmes A method for learning and remembering idioms and expressions I wrote this model as a teaching device during the time I was working in Bangkok, Thai- land, as a legal editor and language consultant, with one of the Big Four Legal and Tax companies, KPMG (during my afternoon job) after teaching at the university. When I had no legal documents to edit and no individual advising to do (which was quite frequently) I would sit at my desk, (like some old character out of a Charles Dickens’ novel) and prepare language materials to be used for helping professionals who had learned English as a second language—for even up to fifteen years in school—but who were still unable to follow a movie in English, understand the World News on TV, or converse in a colloquial style, because they’d never had a chance to hear and learn com- mon, everyday expressions such as, “It’s a done deal!” or “Drop whatever you’re doing.” Because misunderstandings of such idioms and expressions frequently caused miscom- munication between our management teams and foreign clients, I was asked to try to as- sist. I am happy to be able to share the materials that follow, such as they are, in the hope that they may be of some use and benefit to others. The simple teaching device I used was three-fold: 1. Make a note of an idiom/expression 2. Define and explain it in understandable words (including synonyms.) 3. Give at least three sample sentences to illustrate how the expression is used in context.

  • Rulebook-Bios-Genesis-170515.Pdf
    BY A. WHAT’S THIS GAME ABOUT? One to four players start as organic compounds shortly after Earth’s formation, represented by up to three Biont tokens. The Amino Acids (Player Red) command Metabolism, the lipids (Player Yellow) create cells, the pigments (Player Green) control energy absorption and storage, and the nucleic acids (Player Blue) control templated replication.1 Their goal is a double origin of life: first asAutocatalytic Life (a metabolic cycle reproducing its own constituents yet not replicating),2 and the second as Darwinian Life (an Organism using a template to replicate in an RNA world). Warning, this is a brutal game of survival. The players may decide to cooperate rather than compete, see C3. A less brutal variant is found in C4. The Event Phase starts the turn. Each event card encapsulates 200 million years, and the game may last 21 events (about 18 turns, the first 4 billion years of Earth’s 4.6 billion year history). Each event depicts which Landforms (cosmic, ocean, coastal shelf, or continent) are active for the turn. In the Assignment Phase, players attempt to create autocatalytic life by assigning one starting Biont to one of the Refugia, placards representing suitable hatcheries for life either on Earth or in space. These sites contain “building block” cubes called Manna, which reside in either disorganized (dead) or organized (metabolically-alive) populations. You may also assign a Biont to become a Parasite, if there are any Hosts available. To be suitable, a Host must have Mutations or Organs that you can invade as a Disease.
