Passenger pigeons

（旅鸽）

once flew over much of the United States in unbelievable numbers. Written

accounts from the 18th and 19th centuries described flocks

（群）

so large that they darkened the sky for

hours.

It

was

calculated

that

when

its

population

reach

its

highest

point,

there

were

more

than

3

billion

passenger pigeons

–

a number equal to 24 to 40 percent of the total bird population in the United States,

making it perhaps the most abundant birds in the world. Even as late as 1870 when their numbers had

already become smaller, a flock believed to be 1 mile wide and 320 miles (about 515 kilometers) long was

seen near Cincinnati.

Sadly, the abundance of passenger pigeons may have been their undoing. Where the birds were abundant,

people believed there was an ever-lasting supply and killed them by the thousands. Commercial hunters

attracted them to small clearings with grain, waited until pigeons had settled to feed, then threw large

nets over them, taking hundreds at a time. The birds were shipped to large cities and sold in restaurants.

By the closing decades of the 19th century, the hardwood forests where passenger pigeons nested had

been damaged by Americans’ need for wood, which scattered

（驱散）

the flocks and forced the birds to go

farther north, where cold temperatures and spring storms contributed to

their decline. Soon the great

flocks were gone, never to be seen again.

In 1897, the state of Michigan passed a law prohibiting the killing of passenger pigeons, but by then, no

sizable flocks had been seen in the state for 10 years. The last confirmed wild pigeon in the United States

was shot by a boy in Pike County, Ohio, in 1900. For a time, a few birds survived under human care. The

last of them, known affectionately as Martha, died at the Cincinnati Zoological Garden in September 1,

1914.

C

A

typical

lion

tamer

(

驯兽师

)

in

people’s

mind

is

an

entertainer

holding

a

whip

(

鞭子

)and

a

chair .The whip get all of the attention , but it’s mostly for show .In reality , it’s the chair that does the

import

ant work .When a lion tamer holds a chair in front of the lion’s face , the lion tries to focus on all

four legs of the chair at the same time .With its focus divided , the lion becomes confused and is unsure

about what to do next .When faced with so many options , the lion chooses to freeze and wait instead of

attacking the man holding the chair.

How often do you find yourself in the same position as the lion ? How often do you have something you

want to achiever (e,g. lose weight , start a business , travel more )

–

only to end up confused by all of the

options in front of you and never make progress ?

This upsets me to no end because while all the experts are busy debating about which option is best ,

the people who want to improve their lives are left confused by all of the conflicting information .The end

result is that we feel like we can’t focus or that we’re focused on the wrong things , and so we take less

action , make less progress , and stay the same when we could be improving .

It

doesn’t

have

t

that

way .Anytime

you

find

the

world

waving

a

chair

in

your

face

,

remember

this :All you need to do is focus on one thing .You just need to get started .Starting before you feel ready is

one of the habits of successful people .If you have somewhere you want to go , something you want to

D

As more and more people speak the global languages of English, Chinese, Spanish, and Arabic, other

languages are rapidly disappearing. In fact, half of the 6,000-7,000 languages spoken around the world

today will likely die out by the next century, according to the United Nations Educational, Scientific, and

Cultural Organization (UNESCO).

In an effort to prevent language loss, scholars from a number of organizations- UNESCO and National

Geographic among them

–

have for many years been documenting dying languages and the cultures they

reflect.

Mark Turin, a scientist at the Macmillan Center, Yale University, who specializes in the languages and

oral traditions of the Himalayas, is following in that tradition. His recently published book, A Grammar of

Thangmi

with

an

Ethnolinguistic

Introduction

to

the

Speakers

and

Their

Culture,

grows

out

of

his

experience living, looking and raising a family in a village in Nepal.

Documenting the Tangmi language and culture is just a starting point for Turin, who seeks to include

other languages and oral traditions across the Himalayans reaches of India, Nepal, Bhutan, and China. But

he is not content to simply record these voices before they disappear without record.

At the University of Cambridge Turin discovered a wealth of important materials- including photographs,

films, tap recordings, and field notes- which had remained unstudied and were badly in need of care and

protection.

Now, through the two organizations that he has founded-the Digital Himalaya Project and the World

Oral

Literature

Project-

Turin

has

started

a

campaign

to

make

such

documents,

found

in

libraries

and

stores around the world, available not just to scholars but to the youngers.

Generations

of

communities

from

whom

the

materials

were

originally

to

digital

technology

and

the

widely

available

Internet.

Turin

notes,the

endangered

languages

can

be

saved

and

reconnected with speech communities.
