Gypsy Territoriality and the Ofisa Shell Game
No full textRomanies have sustained their remarkably successful underground existence depending on specialty trades in territorial niche markets. The Rom, an ethnic Romani sub-group, rely on fortune-telling as their major source of income. Fortune-telling “offices,” translated from ofisas in the Romani language (Rromanes), are the center of urban market areas, with entire towns being sold as fortune-telling territories. Many Rom sell ofisas via internet message boards and streaming video websites, exposing valuable information on desirable location attributes, territorial disputes, as well as the (self) appraised value of their territories. By mining these posts, one of the co-authors was able to compile a large georeferenced dataset on ofisa prices and characteristics, which offered initial insights into measureable attributes impacting ofisa prices. These empirical results when mapped inspired the creation of a crude ofisa location prediction model. Our poster presentation graphically highlights findings from the data gathering process, including ofisa design, terminology, and territorial disputes. In general, the data-dredging process from Internet sources reveals previously unknown details about Rom communication, territoriality, and ofisa location selection.

Not all of the women listed below were hard-core suffragists like Olive Colton and Sarah Williams. In fact literature on -JV ot these does not even list suftrage as being amolJg tlleir accOilplishments or interests. Olive Colton does list women who were active in the movement in the period up to about 191. Most did not live to vote in 1921. More recent suffragistsI names can be gained by viewing the lists·of founders ot the League of Women Voters and other sources.

Statement of Purpose
No full textSTATEMENT OF PURPOSE
'The National Organization for Homen \vas founded in 1966 to "take action
to bring \vomen into full participation in the mainstream of American
society now, exercising all the privileges and responsibilities thereof
in truly equal partnership with men".
Our energies focus on specific goals such as; ratification and implementation
of the Equal Rights Amendment; equal employment opportunities; developmental child care; revision of income tax and social security
laws; right to control our own reproductive lives; a chance for women in poverty; revision of marriage, divorce, and family laws; full participation
in political activities; and women in the mass media.
Recognizing that women's problems are linked to broader questions of social justice and convinced that human rights are indivisable, NOW actively supports efforts to eradicate racism; provide freedom from want; achieve a universal end to war; protect the right to define and express individual sexuality and choose one's own lifestyle; and promote the common cause of equal rights for all who suffer discrimination, deprivation and exclusion. He welcome coalition with other organizations committed to such goals and solicit their cooperative efforts to fight sexism and attain equality for all women.
The Greater Toledo Area Chapter of NOH was convened July 1, 1972. Our objective is to aggressively pursue and successfully execute projects and programs which will lead to total equality for all people. The achievement of this long-term goal is of the utmost importance to us, but not enough so as to sacrifice a strong fight and solid win in each of the many areas that lead to its achievement. Consequently, Toledo NOW is dedicated, during the coming year, to devoting our time and energy to obtaining successful gains in several major areas rather than making less significant gains in every area.
We are confident that our 1974/1975 program, contained herein, will bring about many of the changes necessary to bring women closer to "full participation in the mainstream of American society, exercising all the privileges and responsibilities thereof in truly equal partnership with men".
