POPSWaterloo C.I.'s Alumni Portal - Reunion 2010 Please put your name on our mailing list, whether you can come or not, and keep up-to-date on the news from the Reunion Committee. The site is searchable by maiden name. Help us to find as many former students/staff as you can. We want loads of Vikings to enjoy the first weekend of June in 2010. Let us know of those who have passed away so that we can have a tribute list too. Email me if you have any questions. Thanks.

POPS840 CE: Trade between Viking Scandinavia and the Arab World We take for granted that our world is more international today than it ever was before in history. Though our speed of trans-national communications, commerce and travel is truly staggering, ancient civilizations were not necessarily isolated islands. Understanding that the Arabs and Vikings, Romans and Chinese were all part of a single international system, not monolithic bastions of "clashing" civilizations is the first step towards understanding how we can live peacefully with each other today.

POPS"Contrails of Thor's Chariot" "Scientists (internationally speaking) are probably in the best situation they've been in for a long time to study and understand the causes of the Northern Lights," comments Dr Jim Wild of the University of Lancaster.

Whaling is a primitive, cruel, economically senseless and barbaric practice. What is a major industrialized super power doing killing whales anyway? The only other people involved in this anachronistic bit of sadistic maritime madness are a few frustrated inbred Vikings in Northern Norway and the Danish Faeroe Islands. Even the Icelanders have seen fit to pack the harpoons away.
