The Joshua Project 2000 list of unreached peoples is not a fixed list. As new information becomes available, updates continue to be made, even since the above printing. For the most recent information, you may download the database from the AD2000 & Beyond web site: http://www.ad2000.org/peoples/index.htm
If you have verifiable corrections or updates, please send them to the list administrator, Dan Scribner dan@ad2000.org. Dan's making REAL changes. I recently submitted a verifiable recommendation to him and he and Patrick Johnstone answered personally, to verify the change. It took us an exchange of 2 or 3 emails but we finally reached a consensus recommendation and now the list is more accurate on Crimean Tatars in Ukraine. So send in your suggestions! They're listening!
Thanks to all who have written regarding the
limit to carry-ons on British Air, Lufthansa, and similar airlines. Here's the
bottom line: Yes... enough is enough, and all of us who have been bombed by
some fat carry-on would like to see in-cabin limits enforced. But at the same
time, even British Air is not enforcing the limit equally. I just flew to and
from African on BA and on each and every flight they gave me hassles regarding
my carry-on even though it fit in their "sizewise" gauge. My problem was that
it weighed 13 kilos and for some reason, since it was on wheels, it was a
higher profile target for them to seize. So -- if you have to carry on some
materials and you're flying BA, choose a backpack or shoulder bag, not a
roller carry-on (like flight attendants all use). And... the easiest solution of
all... if you like your roller carry-on, don't use BA or Lufthansa if you can
at all avoid them. They appear to be the ONLY airlines enforcing this policy. in the message body.

Emphasis is placed on items relating to unreached peoples and challenges faced by those reaching them cross-culturally.
PLEASE DON'T SUBSCRIBE US TO YOUR LIST -- It's always better to ask before manually force-adding anyone to your list-serve or mailing list. Recently, tons of well-meaning people have been subscribing Doug to their lists. Since he often travels overseas, he doesn't join many of those, for obvious reasons (like being charged big-time for overseas access). So as a general rule, please don't bulk-mail us! See the note above if you'd like to submit items for Brigada Today. Thanks for understanding. Bottom line: We will never create Brigada Today items from bulk mail. Bulk mail gets deleted immediately -- sorry. Nothing personal. We suggest you apply the same standard to everyone. Ask first!
WARNING ABOUT FORWARDING EMAILS -- Please, before forwarding any kind of request (even if it says
"please send this to all your friends"), please check to
make sure it has a VERIFIABLE ORIGIN, a VERIFIABLE PURPOSE, and a
VERIFIABLE CLOSURE (OPC). By following this simple approach, many
"email viruses" could be nipped in the bud... at least in the Brigada family. More information about the full Brigada OPC protocol is available. Thank you.
