Immortality. This group is dedicated towards raising awareness about emerging technologies that have the potential to contribute positively to the human lifespan. We are finally approaching a point where we can more effectively negotiate our terms with death.
...we are on the verge of transcending our biological constraints and finally defeating death.
Throughout human history our species has attempted to grapple with death by trying to understand it, by trying to predict it, and by trying to defeat it... Over the last fifteen thousand years, the communities humanity has built upon the Earth have changed dramatically. We have moved from being a hunter & gatherer-based species, to essentially maintaining globalized civilization capable of sending machines millions of kilometers deep into space to chunks of rock virgin to the hands of humanity...
As our species first began to develop and refine language and began to construct relatively large communities, they also tried to explain and rationalize why death occurs, and how they might be able to prevent it... However, as our ancient fore-bearers lacked deep naturalistic understanding of their environment, little progress was made toward dealing with death. Gods and rituals were used to place a handle on death, it provided simplistic explanations and methods for displaying grief and respect... but this was still inadequate.
Over the past 300 years, as our species finally harnessed the power of electricity, and started on its path toward understanding its own construction, we have made great leaps in our understanding of our environment, and ourselves. We have reached a stage in our development where it is beginning to look as if we may be able to slow or even prevent the damaging effects of aging at a cellular level, and it seems that we are rapidly approaching a point where we will finally break free from our biological constraints.
The word Immortality has always had a connotation of mysticism and magic attached to it, and since there has so far been no alternative to death, it has been seen as a fantasy to distract us from its inevitability... but we must realize that with each scientific discovery, it provides a stepping stone towards the next, and that combined with our powers of abstract reasoning, our innate curiosity, and our relentless determination, we can dismount this word from the web of fiction it is currently entangled in, and bring it into the scientific realm.
In short, we are on the verge of a transformation, our scientific understanding of the mechanics of the universe has been increasing exponentially... in the coming decades as the fields of Bioengineering, Genetics, Nano-scale Technology, and Computing mature, we will begin to see a change in the meaning of life and death. We now have the ability to construct artificial hearts, we have utterly decimated entire viral species with our vaccines, we can control mechanical appendages with our minds, and cloning technology is maturing to the point where personalized organs can be and will be cloned when needed (which essentially means the end of death via organ failure... at least mostly)... so, as we progress we must maintain a strong sense of caution, but above all, we must remain open to the possibility of transcending our biological longevity limits... Possibly living as long as you wish.
We can already see the tell-tale signs of this happening, and given an semi-optimistic estimate... we can expect to see some pretty amazing changes to the human life-span within the next 25 years, and if you try your best to take care of your body in concert with these emerging technologies, you can expect to live well past 2100 A.D.

Kollektiv Turmstrasse. There are few artists operating in the house/techno milieu who offer much beyond functionality in their music. Those who bring more than this to the table always stand out from the crowd. Hamburg/Berlin duo Kollektiv Turmstrasse (Christian Hilscher and Nico Plagemann) are one of those rare acts whose music caters for both body and soul.
Already performing in clubs with their own solo endeavours - Nico as a live act, Christian as a DJ - the pair met back in 1998 at a party they were both booked for, and immediately struck up a rapport. “There weren't many music nerds in the region” they recall. “It was almost inevitable for us to become friends.” Their musical bond deepened swiftly through regular record store pilgrimages and late nights in clubs and at festivals. Swapping music and throwing parties together, they soon made their first joint studio venture in 2000 “without really heading into a specific direction. It all began in our first shared apartment in a street called Turmstrasse.” It was their record dealer who proved to be the catalyst for their production career, urging them to bring their music to the world and releasing the track Turmstrasse on his Electronic Parliament imprint in 2001. “Without him we wouldn't be where we are today. He believed in us and enabled us a lot.”
Their cinematic take on 4/4 electronica has won praise from all quarters via releases on Diynamic, Connaisseur and their own Musik Gewinnt Freunde imprint. Debut album Rebellion der Träumer (‘The Dreamer’s Rebellion’) demonstrated a prowess beyond the realms of the dancefloor, laden with frosty electronic melody, downtempo rhythm and classy vocals. A busy remix schedule has seen them grace the likes of Cocoon, Get Physical, Soma, Poker Flat, Defected, Systematic and Traum, reworking multifarious acts including Trentemøller, Hot Chip and Terry Lee Brown Jnr. along the way.
Their sense of emotion - informed by their upbringing on Germany’s visually arresting Baltic Sea coast - lends their productions a human warmth, allowing them to slot effortlessly into both club and home listening scenarios. “Wide; open; top-heavy; all-consuming; shifted; simple; these are the words we use to describe our sound. We use both digital and analog. First and foremost we produce music for ourselves. We don't predetermine whether it’s suited for home or club environment.” This lack of contrition serves them well. Electronic music is an art for them; not a science.
Watching their live show reveals how their music connects with crowds on an emotional level, and how its melodic and textural depth works in such synergy with its rhythmic backbone. “We play live with two MacBooks running Ableton Live with over a thousand clips, which gives us a lot of space to improvise. The whole thing is controlled with one iPad each which allows us to work very fast and intuitively.” Their show has been finding them in high demand across the globe, and has helped them to strengthen their relationship with Solomun’s Diynamic label - playing at their international parties while releasing music with them on a regular basis. “They have been friends of ours for over ten years” says Solomun. “It was a mere matter of time for them to join in. Mutual friends, interests and in general a similar perception of music and life brought us together.” While the label’s sound has evolved in recent years, there has always been a place for Kollektiv Turmstrasse within their fabric. “One thing that we all have in common is a certain melancholy and harmony in our productions.” For a duo who don’t like to be pigeonholed, it’s a perfect fit.
“The journey has alway been more important to us than the reward” Christian and Nico say on their future with music. “There is a lot to discover along the way and it might just be that the detour is the more scenic route to the next goal.” With such an organic pulse running through their productions, it should come as

Sulamita Slavic Evangelical Church. Sulamita Church is committed to the excellence of proclaiming the gospel of Jesus Christ, and to the fulfillment of every Christian On the outskirts of Portland stands Sulamita Church. It is one of the largest and
prettiest churches in the area. On any given Sunday, there are up to 2000 people in attendance for the worship services. Adjacent to the sanctuary is a banquet hall, used for weddings and other occasions. Sunday school and Russian school are taught in the many classrooms available at the church. Our journey thus far has permitted us to reflect on the many wonderful and bountiful mercies of our God in bringing us here! This is a short testimony of our journey.
In the late 1980's there was a large exodus of Slavic Christians leaving the former USSR. It was God's great miracle that lifted the iron curtain and permitted thousands of Christians to come to the land of the free, where we were received with the greatest hospitality. The miraculous immigration went through Vienna Austria, Rome Italy, and with the final stop in the green and rainy lands of Oregon. With so many immigrated Christians new churches opened up. One of these Churches opened on Otty street. The Four Square Church initiated the opening of this church.
The services in Otty were famous for being blessed. Many inspired sermons of fine preachers, wonderful singing and testimony lifted the spirits of the people. Nikolay Michalchuk accepted the office of pastor in 1992. In 2 years time the church
was too small to meet the needs of the growing congregation. A small piece of property close to the church was available for 47000, With the growth of the church, Otty with a maximum capacity of 160 people, had to make plans for a larger place to assemble. The small church on Otty was sold, and plans were made to gather at a church on Sandy Blvd that could
assemble 800 people. The brethren were worried that with the larger church the place would look empty; they were surprised when from the very first service the services were packed. The services continued to be richly blessed with inspiring sermons, which led the congregation to greater devotion to God and each other. Around this time, the congregation took on the name Sulamita but we were still know as the Otty church. In 1996 we were respectively asked to leave the Sandy Church; we were blessed to find a Catholic church which would serve us for some time. In 1998 a new lot was purchased in Fairview and the construction of our very own church began. Overcoming many obstacles, with the Lord=s help we were able to complete the construction of the church in 1999 for 5 million. Through the many prayers, and hard work of the congregation, this church has become priceless to us. We are richly blessed by the ability to worship our Lord in our own sanctuary. With the Spirit of brotherly love and faithfulness to our Savior, we were able to stick together through very hard times. We understand that there are many trials that are ahead of us, but being faithful to our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, no matter where Providence leads us we are committed to serving him from the gulag of Siberia to the rich lands of America.
