Kirby Ferguson: Embrace the remix. Future - Science & Environment - Searching for a cure to violence. Can science help understand what leads people to commit violent acts... and find ways to stop them?
When a crowd attacked the US consulate in Benghazi, Libya, killing several people including the US ambassador, it was initially seen by some as part of a rising tide of religiously-motivated violence. Others now suggest it was part of a planned attack by a militant jihadist group. While US investigators try to pinpoint exactly what happened, a small group of researchers will be watching closely. They are part of a growing scientific discipline that is trying to identify the neurological and biological mechanisms that lead people to commit such acts with the ultimate goal of finding ways to stop them happening at all. It is a fast growing field that has also attracted the interest of the US national security community, which wants to understand what motivates people to join insurgencies and terrorist groups.
‘Insane game’ “It’s an insane game,” says Weber. Future - Science & Environment - Will we ever... talk to the animals? History is littered with animals who have "communicated" with humans, but as work with dolphins shows it is difficult to strike up a two-way conversation.
“What’s that Flipper? The treasure is over there?” So went a typical plotline for the popular TV series featuring the cute, bottlenosed dolphin who could communicate with his human guardians, and who – in the time-honoured fashion – used his animal powers to apprehend criminals. The idea that animals like Flipper can communicate with humans is not just the preserve of the small and big screen. History is littered with celebrity animals who have communicated with human scientists, with varying degrees of success. Dolphins hold a particular fascination; we are captivated by their intelligence and beauty, and swimming with dolphins features regularly on lists of things to do before you die.
One-way chat “Talk” is tricky to define. The idea of talking to dolphins has a long and chequered history. Little less conversation Herzing disagrees. Anthony Robbins-5 Keys to Thrive. Two Mushrooms Group Costume. Facebook Timeline Privacy Tips: Lock Down Your Profile. Facebook's Timeline is coming, whether you like it or not, to Facebook accounts everywhere - including yours.
I've been using Timeline for about a month now, and I'm not sure how I feel about it. On the one hand, it's a lot easier to find things -- events, wall posts, etc, because you can now search your Facebook profile by date. On the other hand, it's much easier for other people--friends, strangers, you name it -- to find things, because they can now search your Facebook profile by date. Timeline Tell-all As it turns out, I've posted a lot of things -- not all of which are totally tame and/or work-appropriate -- over the past eight years that I've had Facebook. While it's true that you could technically see these posts before the introduction of Timeline, you would have had to do a lot more work. But now they can just see those posts by going to the right side of my profile and hitting 2006 -- and then choosing the month they want to see posts from. So here's how to fix that. Good Luck.

Recommended Media « Derren Brown. George Orwell: Politics and the English Language. Most people who bother with the matter at all would admit that the English language is in a bad way, but it is generally assumed that we cannot by conscious action do anything about it.
Our civilization is decadent and our language — so the argument runs — must inevitably share in the general collapse. It follows that any struggle against the abuse of language is a sentimental archaism, like preferring candles to electric light or hansom cabs to aeroplanes. Underneath this lies the half-conscious belief that language is a natural growth and not an instrument which we shape for our own purposes. Now, it is clear that the decline of a language must ultimately have political and economic causes: it is not due simply to the bad influence of this or that individual writer. But an effect can become a cause, reinforcing the original cause and producing the same effect in an intensified form, and so on indefinitely. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. DYING METAPHORS.
