📰 Indian-American gay couples find new forms of union amid stigma(恥辱)
🀄 同性戀在印度社會是丟臉的事,印裔美國同志伴侶在當中尋求新的結合方式
When Sameer Samudra and Amit Gokhale decided to marry according to Hindu custom, the couple faced an unexpected(意想不到的) hiccup(麻煩): they couldn't find a priest(神父) to do the ceremony.
📌 當 Sameer Samudra 和 Amit Gokhale 決定按照印度教習俗結婚時,這對新人遇到了意想不到的麻煩:他們找不到牧師來主持婚禮。
"We wanted a Hindu wedding, but so many pandits (印度教士) [priests] said no. I was agonized(極痛苦的) when one of them quoted(報價) an exorbitant(過高的) amount(金額) just because I am gay!" said Sameer, who lives in North Carolina.
📌 “我們想要一場印度教婚禮,但有很多教士 [牧師] 說不。當他們中的一個人僅僅因為我是同性戀而提出過高金額時,我感到非常痛苦!” 住在北卡羅來納州的薩米爾說。
Unwilling to have "the energy of a reluctant(不情願的) priest" at their wedding, the couple improvised(即興發揮).
"One of our friends learnt the basics of being a priest and we chose Hindu rituals(儀式) that made sense for a same-sex wedding," Sameer said.
📌 這對新人不願意在他們的婚禮上擁有“不情願的神父的能量”,他們即興發揮。
“我們的一個朋友學習了成為牧師的基本知識,我們選擇了對同性婚禮有道理的印度教儀式,”薩米爾說。
So many Indian-American couples dream of a big fat Bollywood-style wedding, complete with traditional rituals. But that's easier said than done for gay couples - even in the US where same-sex unions were legalized(合法化) in 2015.
📌 很多的印度裔美國夫婦都夢想著舉行一場盛大的寶萊塢式婚禮,並配有傳統儀式,但對於同性戀伴侶來說,說起來容易,做起來難——即使在 2015 年同性結合合法化的美國也是如此。
More than 300,000 gay couples have wed in the country since then. But Indian-Americans say that they are often ostracized(排斥) by those who have the holy(神聖的) task of solemnizing(隆重慶祝) their unions.
📌 從那時起,該國已有超過 300,000 對同性戀伴侶結婚,但印度裔美國人說,他們經常被那些肩負著舉行結合儀式的神聖任務的人排斥。
Temples refusing to host same-sex weddings, priests hanging up on their phone calls or unwilling to tweak(稍稍調整) the ceremony to suit them and, in some cases, not even showing up on the day of the wedding - these experiences have driven Indian-American gay couples to fall back on friends and well-wishers to create unique ceremonies rooted in their culture.
📌 寺廟拒絕舉辦同性婚禮、神父掛斷電話或稍稍調整儀式以適應他們,在某些情況下,甚至在婚禮當天都不露面——這些經歷推動了這些新人依靠的朋友和祝福者,創造植根於他們文化的獨特儀式。
Sapna Pandya, for instance, became a priest herself although female priests are virtually(實際上) unheard of in Hinduism.
📌 例如,Sapna Pandya 自己成為了一名神父,儘管在印度教中幾乎聞所未聞的女神父。
She did it because of the opposition she and her Pakistani(巴基斯坦的) Muslim wife, Seher, faced when they wanted to get married the traditional way.
📌 她這樣做,是因為她和她的巴基斯坦穆斯林妻子 Seher,在想以傳統方式結婚時面臨反對。
"I didn't feel comfortable going to the temple to see a priest. My wife didn't feel comfortable going to the mosque(清真寺) and asking an imam(伊斯蘭領袖尊稱). So, we wrote our own ceremony," Sapna said.
They chose Hindu mantras(真言) and verses from the Koran(古蘭經) that symbolized companionship.
📌 “我不喜歡去寺廟找一位神父。我的妻子不喜歡去清真寺問伊瑪目,所以,我們編寫了自己的儀式。”Sapna 說。他們選擇了象徵伴侣關係的印度教真言和古蘭經中的經文。

Electric vehicles (EV) have made a comeback since the great EV failures of the 1990's. Today, ten countries and a handful of cities around the world have planned total ban on combustion engines. The hope is that EV's would help reduce #airpollution and oil consumption. But are #electricvehicles actually good for the environment? What about our anxieties over their range? The batteries don’t last, right? They’re too expensive, right?
In this episode, we speak to Mark Maynard, an automotive editor of the San Diego Union-Tribune who was among the first test drivers of a pilot EV program by General Motors in the 1990's. We also hear from Daniel Vickery, head of engineering of batteries and energy systems at Gogoro, a Taiwanese electric scooter company.
This is a podcast about how NOT to save the #environment. Hosted by Nature N8 (Nate Maynard), an environmental researcher working on energy, ocean, and waste issues.

Allen Iverson refused to let the Philadelphia 76ers' season end.
Iverson scored 13 of his 42 points in the fourth quarter as the defending Eastern Conference champions avoided elimination with a tense 108-103 victory over the Boston Celtics in Game 3 of their first-round series.
The Sixers avoided a best-of-five series sweep for the first time since 1991 against Milwaukee. They host Game 4 on Wednesday.
Responding in pressure situations is nothing new for Iverson.
"That's my life," Iverson said. "That's just what I've been going through since I've been in the league, so I'm kind of used to it. When we lose, people are going to point the finger at me and coach. And when we win gaems, I get the praise. You just accept that and understand that's the way it's going to be."
It was the eighth time Iverson scored at least 40 points in a playoff game. The Sixers are 7-1 in those contests.
"We have another chance to play and we have to put pressure on them, where they feel it," Sixers coach Larry Brown said. "It doesn't look to me like they're feeling it. They're playing with a lot of poise and have a lot to be proud of."
Philadelphia also got a big game from Eric Snow, who scored 23 points. After going a combined 4-of-25 in the first two games of the series, he made 9-of-14 shots in Game 3 and scored six straight points for the Sixers during one stretch in the fourth quarter.
"There was no pressure on them at all," Snow said. "All of the pressure was on us. Fortunately, we were able to pull this game out and now we have to take care of our home and win on Wednesday and even the series."
The Celtics, looking to move into the second round for the first time since 1992, were in position to close out the Sixers, taking a 103-100 lead on Rodney Rogers' 3-pointer with 1:32 remaining. But the Sixers scored the final eight points.
"It's a game we should have had," Boston forward Paul Pierce said. "We're up three with under three minutes to go. We gave ourselves a chance to win after being down in the first half. It's definitely one we should have had."
All season, the Celtics lived by the 3-pointer. On this day, however, they died by it.
Derrick Coleman, who played a strong game with 18 points and nine rebounds, followed Aaron McKie's miss to give Philadelphia a 104-103 lead with 45 seconds left.
Pierce scored 29 points for the Celtics, but missed a 3-pointer from the top of the key on the ensuing possession. Boston was forced to foul, and Iverson hit two more from the line, making it 106-103 with 19 seconds to play.
"I felt that everybody would come out and play the game like it was their last," Iverson said. "But we didn't have a choice. If you can't get up for a game like this, there's something wrong. You're not a basketball player, you're not a competitor."
Rogers and Pierce missed 3-pointers on Boston's last possession, and Coleman clinched the win with two from the line with 1.1 seconds to go.
"It's now Game 4," Pierce said. "We expected a war. We didn't expect Philly to bow down to us in Game 3. We expect another war for the next game."
Antoine Walker scored 27 points for Boston but was shut out from 3-point range in the second half after making all seven of his attempts from behind the arc in the opening 24 minutes. He finished 7-of-13 from downtown.
"We feel like we're still very confident we can beat them here," Walker said. "Obviously, they're going to feel really good and come out with a lot of energy on Wednesday. We have to be prepared and ready to match their energy again."
While the Sixers never have rallied to win a best-of-five series after losing the first two games, they have renewed hopes since Iverson seems to have shaken off the rust after missing the final 14 games of the regular season with a broken hand.
The NBA scoring champion rebounded from a shaky outing in Game 2, when he made just 10-of-29 shots. He took over Sunday's contest down the stretch, scoring 11 of the Sixers' final 15 points, and was deadly from the line, making 19-of-20 free throws.
"We had big games from a lot of people," Iverson said. "To beat a team like that, you're going to have to have a lot of guys contribute."
Overall, Philadelphia was 36-of-44 from the line, compared to just 16-of-18 for Boston, which ran most of its offense from the perimeter. The Sixers shot 45 percent (33-of-74).
"We didn't get the calls," Boston guard Kenny Anderson said. "We can't cry about it, but we didn't get the calls."
Spurred on by a fired-up crowd at the First Union Center, the Sixers opened an 11-point lead in the first quarter. Boston withstood Philadelphia's early burst and Walker's shooting helped it close to 58-52 at intermission.
The Celtics tried to bury the Sixers with a long-range assault, making 15 of 30 3-pointers, a playoff record for a Philadelphia opponent.

Our Core Spirit
Two Taiwanese street dance groups for children, DSDJ and Monsda, have worked together to present《The United Monsters》 , which is all about love! They are united by the spirit of “Dance for Love & Hope” and the idea of “Dance Love Everywhere”.
Children’s Infinite Power!
Within their small frames, there is vast innocence and energy powering the children’s dance with dreams. Even children can have great influences when they all unite for the same goal. Street dance is the way of their self-expression, dancing outside the box of language barrier. The audience gets to focus on nothing but the dance itself, witnessing the pure innovation, life and diversity of Taiwanese street dance.
Monster Village, Taiwan
We traveled around in Taiwan and chose ‘Xitou Monster Village’ (Yaoguai Village) in Lugu Township, Nantou County as the background for “The United Monsters“. There is a folk tale about the close relationship between Taiwanese people and nature which originated from this village. Legend has it that it was built to commemorate the heartwarming interaction between Katsuichi Matsubayashi and native animals. As Matsubayashi was himself an orphan, he symathized with the orphaned Kuma, a sun bear, and Bado, a cloud leopard, so he adopted them and took them under his wing . Inevitably, it was soon time to bid painful farewell when Kuma’s and Badou’s appetite increased with their maturity. Matsubayashi released them to the wild with sorrow. One day, he ran into monsters in the forest. Kuma and Badou immediately appeared and rescued him. This story implies the warm relationship between Taiwanese people and nature as well as the concept of animal conservation.
Our Goals
Our production team wishes to promote love, care and respect for all life forms and relationships to people through “The United Monsters“. Such union can build a better society. We support and encourage children to learn about street dance and virtue simultaneously with good attitudes which will cultivate a more active and positive dream and life for the next generation. A-King, our dance choreographer, has always seen the spirit of ‘Dance for Love & Hope’ as his teaching philosophy, hoping he can influence children of the next generation to dance for love instead of competition. Our vision is to bring Taiwan to the world stage for more people to see Taiwanese child street dance, culture, scenery, hospitality and legend.
