개미는 마치 평범한 이웃들이 그런 것처럼, 흔하지만 많은 관심을 불러일으키는 곤충은 아닙니다. 하지만 개미들의 면면에는 상상 이상의 놀라움이 숨어 있습니다.
우선, 개미는 성실한 일꾼을 상징합니다. 이솝우화 ‘개미와 베짱이’는 개미의 성실성을 보여주는 대표적인 이야기입니다. 이런 점에서 개미는 우리 사회의 노동자, 서민을 표상하는 곤충이라 할 수 있습니다. <개미뉴스>는 바로 개미 같은 노동자와 서민을 위한 언론매체입니다.
그리고 개미는 사회를 이루고 그 속에서 자신의 재능에 따라 분업합니다. 또 개미는 각자의 역할에 충실하며 서로 협동합니다. 이 것이 가능한 이유는 개미 사회가 차별이 없는 평등한 곳이기 때문입니다. 이처럼 <개미뉴스>도 조합원 간의 평등한 관계 속에서 서로 협동하는 조직입니다. 또한, 차별 없는 평등한 세상을 위해 봉사하는 언론입니다.
개미는 작은 체구에도 불구하고 자신의 몸보다 몇십 배나 무겁고 큰 물체를 번쩍 들어 올립니다. 또, 개미는 작은 틈도 비집고 파고들어 집을 짓는 재능이 있습니다. <개미뉴스>는 비록 시민의 작은 힘이 모여 만들어졌지만 커다란 사회적 울림을 만들어내는 언론으로 자리해 나갈 것이며, 단단한 바위에 균열을 일으키듯 우리 사회의 변화를 이끌어나가는 언론이 될 것입니다.
무엇보다도 개미는 소통하는 곤충입니다. 베르나르 베르베르(Bernard Werber)의 소설 <개미>에서는 개미의 이런 특성이 잘 묘사돼 있습니다. 개미의 의사소통 수단은 평소 페로몬입니다. 하지만 필요에 따라 서로 더듬이를 맞대어 서로의 경험과 기억을 공유합니다. 이처럼 <개미뉴스>는 온전한 소통을 꿈꿉니다. 이를 통해 사회 구석구석과 공감할 수 있는 이야기를 만들어갈 것입니다.
개미는 우리 주변에서 흔하게 관찰할 수 있는 곤충이지만 일상에서 그 존재를 의식하는 일은 거의 없습니다. 사회에는 우리가 쉽게 인식할 수는 없지만 일상의 많은 부분을 이미 공유하고 있는 개미같은 이웃이 존재합니다. <개미뉴스>는 이처럼 잘 드러나지 않은 이웃의 이야기를 발굴하고 공유하는 매체입니다.

"Of course, you prefer to take players who are fully fit, but that's okay. We want to wait and be patient for some players even if they cannot play in those first matches," he told a press conference. The 37-year-old Vertonghen, Belgium’s Euro Cup 2024 most-capped international with 154 appearances, is struggling to shake off a groin injury.
"He will be there normally. This also applies to Youri Tielemans and Arthur Theate. The latter's position is very sensitive. We don't have many choices at left back. "It will only change if it turns out that they will only be available when, say, the final of the Euro 2024 Championship comes around. That's too long to wait. "However, I am confident that the injured boys are on track for the Euros.
Belgium vs Romania: Radu Dragusin Prepares for Crucial Role in Euro Cup Germany
Some of them have taken not one but two steps forward in their rehabilitation," he said. None of the injured players will feature in this week’s warm-up friendlies against Montenegro and Luxembourg. Romania centre-back Radu Dragusin found chances limited at Tottenham Hotspur in the second half of the 2023-24 season.
But is crucial to his country's cause at UEFA Euro 2024 where his aerial ability, physicality and hard graft make him a standout player. The 22-year-old moved to North London from Italian side Genoa in January but was kept on the sidelines by the form of another new arrival for the season, Mickey van de Ven, something Romania coach Edward Iordanescu admitted was a concern.
It will mean limited game-time going into the finals, but Dragusin, who cites Netherlands defender Virgil van Dijk as a role model, started every Euro Cup Germany qualifier as Romania went through the campaign unbeaten in their 10 games. He will be among their most important players in their first game in Germany against Ukraine in Munich on June 17, taking the right centre-back role in what is likely to be a back four.

Narrated Business Proposal for the Philadelphia Eaglescamrynascott12
Slide 1:
Welcome, and thank you for joining me today. We will explore a strategic proposal to enhance parking and traffic management at Lincoln Financial Field, aiming to improve the overall fan experience and operational efficiency. This comprehensive plan addresses existing challenges and leverages innovative solutions to create a smoother and more enjoyable experience for our fans.
Slide 2:
Picture this: It’s a crisp fall afternoon, driving towards Lincoln Financial Field. The atmosphere is electric—tailgaters grilling, fans in Eagles jerseys creating a sea of green and white. The air buzzes with camaraderie and anticipation. You park, join the throng, and make your way to your seat. The stadium roars as the Eagles take the field, sending chills down your spine. Each play is a thrilling dance of strategy and skill. This is what being an Eagles fan is all about—the joy, the pride, and the shared experience.
Slide 3:
But now, the day is marred by frustration. The excitement wanes as you struggle to find a parking spot. The congestion is overwhelming, and tempers flare. The delays mean you miss the pre-game excitement, the tailgate camaraderie, and even the opening kick-off. After the game, the joy of victory or the shared solace of defeat is overshadowed by the stress of navigating out of the parking lot. The gridlock, honking horns, and endless waiting drain the energy and joy from what should have been an unforgettable experience.
Our proposal aims to eliminate these frustrations, ensuring that from arrival to departure, your experience is extraordinary. Efficient parking and smooth traffic flow are key to maintaining the high spirits and excitement that make game days special.
Slide 4:
The Philadelphia Eagles are not just a premier NFL team; they are an integral part of the community, hosting games, concerts, and various events at Lincoln Financial Field. Our state-of-the-art stadium is designed to provide a world-class experience for every attendee. Whether it's the thrill of game day, the excitement of a live concert, or the camaraderie of community events, we pride ourselves on delivering a fan-first experience and maintaining operational excellence across all our activities. Our commitment to our fans and community is unwavering, and we continuously strive to enhance every aspect of their experience, ensuring they leave with unforgettable memories.
Slide 5:
Recent trends show an increasing demand for efficient event logistics. Our customer feedback has consistently highlighted frustrations with parking and traffic. Surveys indicate that a significant number of fans are dissatisfied with the current parking situation. Comparisons with other venues like Citizens Bank Park and Wells Fargo Center reveal that we lag in terms of parking efficiency and convenience. These insights underscore the urgent need for innovation to meet and exceed fan expectations.
Slide 6:
As we delve into the intricacies of our operations, one glaring issue emer

Editor's Notes
Ultimate frisbee is a combonitation of multple sports put into one. Soccer and American Football are the two most similar to the sport. Frisbee is a nonconatct sportplayed with a flying disc. The name frisbee according to Gerald Griggs originates from the Frisbie Pie Company founded by Willima Russell Frisbie. Students at Yale used to buy pies from the bakery and toss the empty tins which became known as frisbees. Frisbee is very unique as there are no officials it is player officiated. Griggs states that this was part of the American counter culture of the 1960’s and 70’s to avoid the structure pushed on the people by the government. It has evolved into a growing sport that is now played world wide. It has even begun to show up on ESPN top ten highlight reels.
This study Marfleet performed surveyed on 1000 ultimate Frisbee athletes at multiple venues in Europe. The athletes ranged from 18-29 years of age. The most common injuries had something to do with the lower extremities. Frisbee causes people to dive for the disc at speed as well as changing direction at speed. These actions make it inevitable that muscle strains will occur and possibly more severe injuries as the results of this survey showed. The most common body part injured was the thigh followed closely by the knee.
A similar study was performed by Reynolds to view injuries in ultimate players. At an ultimate frisbee tournament 900 athletes asked to take a survey 135 of them returned the survey and 129 completed both sides. The average age of the athletes was 28 years old. 79 men and 56 women took the survey. The majority of the injuries were lower extremity muscles. hamstrings and quadriceps were among the most frequent of injuries. The main point Reynolds wanted to state was that with ultimate Frisbee growing rapidly medical professionals need to be aware of the injuries that are associated with the sport. However there is not enough information availble.
Swedler performed the most complete study on ultimate frisbee injuries that I could find. He used an online survey program to collect data. 229 people filled out the survey from 106 different collegiate ultimate teams with one team member as a contact for the study. The team contact was given an injury definition tutorial as well as how to use the program. From the data collected swedler was able to conclude that the majority of injuries were to the lower extremities. Comparing the information with that of the NCAA injury reports for male and female collegiate soccer players the injuries were similar. However the NCAA is more complete with there analysis of injuries.
It is common for baseball players especially at the collegiate and professional level to suffer from shoulder problems and require surgery. Andrews discusses the cycle of injury prevention, treatment, and rehabilitation from the standpoint of baseball. Treatment and rehabilitation have increased largely in recent years with surgeries extending careers of athletes. However the most important part of the cycle, injury prevention, has been neglected. Andrews talks about the need to focus on ways to prevent injury by understanding the demands we put on the body.
Steffen performed a study on adolescent females to view the effects of a warm up that is an injury prevention program. The study was performed on 18 girls with 16 girls in the control group. The results showed no significant difference in performance after ten weeks.
Myers performed a study to discover whether a difference in scapular position of throwing athletes differed from non throwing athletes. This showed that the scapular position and orientation did change for throwing athletes which allowed for better throwing. This allows for medical professionals to understand the differences between throwing athletes shoulders and non throwing athletes. This is something that needs to be done in Ultimate frisbee as it is an up and coming sport.
Sadoghi studies the effectiveness of an ACL prevention program. In this study he was able to see weather or not ACL injuries could be prevented with a strengthening program. He was able to conclude that the program did have a significant effect in preventing injury in the ACL. Preventative programs can work if enough information is gathered.
With ultimate Frisbee becoming more and more popular the lack of information on it is worrisome. With more people playing the sport more people will get injured with out proper information on how to prevent, treat, and rehabilitate the injuries commonly caused in the sport. It becomes more crucial that studies be performed on the injuries common to the sport to inform medical professionals on how they occur so they can find the best way to prevent treat and rehabilitate injuries.
