Part of Nietzsche’s problem with history, science, and the knowledge drive in general is that these activities typically presuppose that "knowing" is possible, and that truth is more valuable than untruth, or appearance Part of Nietzsche’s problem with history, science, and the knowledge drive in general is that these activities typically presuppose that "knowing" is possible, and that truth is more valuable than untruth, or appearance. It is supposed that there is another world, one free from our perceptions, which can be known if we can find an objectifying lens through which the real nature of things, i.e. inherent properties, things-in-themselves, essences, can be understood. Nietzsche sees most endeavors concerned with discovering the truth as attempts to separate the knower from the known in such a way that they can separate their perceptions (the way the world seems) from the perceived object (an entity that has an existence free from what we bring to the word.) With this separation of the world into "the world of mere appearances" and the "real world," objects are seen as things-in-themselves, with inherent meanings that are non-revisable, objective, and universal ("The Philosopher" 133).
Mistaken Identity In 1903, a prisoner named Will West arrived at Leavenworth. The record clerk took the photographs above and, thinking he remembered West, asked whether he had been there before. West said no. The clerk took some measurements, went to the file, and produced this record, bearing the name William West: Amazed, the prisoner said, “That’s my picture, but I don’t know where you got it, for I know I have never been here before.” Incredibly, this was true. The case became a strong argument in favor of the new science of fingerprinting.
Cryptome Bob Woodward: érase una vez un joven espía, por Roberto Bardini Bob Woodward Cierta noche de junio de 1970, un joven teniente de marina fue a llevar un paquete con información confidencial al subsuelo del ala oeste de la Casa Blanca. Tenía 27 años y trabajaba en inteligencia naval. El oficial tenía largo rato en la sala de espera cuando entró un señor de aspecto distinguido -unos 25 o 30 años mayor que él- y se sentó. Pasaron varios minutos y ninguno hablaba. Para romper el hielo, el teniente se presentó: - Bob Woodward. Siguió una breve conversación. De 1965 a 1970, Woodward sirvió como operador de radio del buque USS Wright. A tres décadas y media de aquel episodio, Woodward tiene 61 años, es director adjunto de The Washington Post para temas de investigación y autor de varios libros. Lo que Woodward nunca ha revelado es su propia vinculación con varios organismos de inteligencia antes de dedicarse al periodismo.

Zombie Virus Drives Caterpillars To An Explosive Death Halloween is just around the corner, but it seems like some members of the animal kingdom have already started playing ghoulish tricks on one another. Scientists recently discovered something that was causing European gypsy moth caterpillars to behave very strangely. The caterpillars were infected by a deadly baculovirus, and with their last bits of strength, they did something that would be out of the question if they were healthy: they climbed out onto the very highest leaves of their tree in the middle of the day. There, their diseased bodies split open, raining infected caterpillar guts onto the leaves and branches below. In a recent issue of Science magazine, researchers reveal the cause of this odd final act: a specific viral gene that drives infected caterpillars to die in a way that offers the best potential for spreading the virus that killed it…just like a zombie (ScienceDaily).

Rating: 9.2/10 (1371 votes cast) Have you ever had an experience that suggested someone else was in your house, and just thought “I don’t wanna know” and left it? Sometimes, fear of the unknown just seems like the preferable option than facing a real, concrete danger. Normally it’s nothing, though. But what would you do when something truly suggestive happens? Last Monday was a normal day. There were three or four thick twine strings in my room. Nobody could have been in my room while I was in it, let alone set this up. It didn’t get any better later. I nervously continued my journey to school. When my friend Lucy sat beside me in first period, she simply plonked her bag down on my lap and rested her chin in her hand, looking right past me to the window outside. “Hey Lucy.” No response. “Come on, I didn’t expect you to be in on this too She sighed and started taking books from her bag. “Um.” “Well, if that’s how we’re gonna play it.” “No. No reaction.
1958 Tybee Island mid-air collision The Tybee Island B-47 crash was an incident on February 5, 1958, in which the United States Air Force lost a 7,600-pound (3,400 kg) Mark 15 nuclear bomb in the waters off Tybee Island near Savannah, Georgia, United States. During a practice exercise, the B-47 bomber carrying the bomb collided in midair with an F-86 fighter plane. To protect the aircrew from a possible detonation in the event of a crash, the bomb was jettisoned. Midair collision[edit] Bomb[edit] Some sources describe the bomb as a functional nuclear weapon, but others describe it as disabled. Recovery efforts[edit] Starting on February 6, 1958, the Air Force 2700th Explosive Ordnance Disposal Squadron and 100 Navy personnel equipped with hand held sonar and galvanic drag and cable sweeps mounted a search. In 2004, retired Air Force Colonel Derek Duke claimed to have narrowed the possible resting spot of the bomb to a small area approximately the size of a football field.

Escándalo Watergate El escándalo del Watergate (o Watergate) fue un escándalo político en los Estados Unidos que ocurrió en 1972 durante el mandato de Richard Nixon, que culminó con la imputación de cargos a algunos consejeros muy cercanos al presidente, y con la dimisión de éste, el 9 de agosto de 1974. Síntesis[editar] Nixon y su equipo conspiraron para ocultar el allanamiento solo seis días después de los hechos. Después de dos años reuniendo pruebas contra el entorno del presidente, que incluía a miembros de su equipo testificando contra él en una investigación del Senado de los Estados Unidos, se reveló que Nixon tenía un sistema de grabación de cintas magnéticas en sus oficinas y que había grabado una gran cantidad de conversaciones dentro de la Casa Blanca. Tras una serie de batallas legales, la Corte Suprema de los Estados Unidos decidió de forma unánime que Nixon debía entregar las cintas; él al fin cedió.

List of emoticons A simple smiley This is a list of notable and commonly used emoticons or textual portrayals of a writer's mood or facial expression in the form of icons. The Western use of emoticons is quite different from Eastern usage, and Internet forums, such as 2channel, typically show expressions in their own ways. In recent times, graphic representations, both static and animated, have taken the place of traditional emoticons in the form of icons. Emoticons can generally be divided into two groups: Western or Horizontal (mainly from America and Europe), and Eastern or Vertical (mainly from east Asia). The most common explanation for these differences is how the different cultures value different parts of the face, i.e. eyes often play a bigger part in figuring out mood in the East while the West puts the eyes as equal to the rest of the face.[1] Western The emoticon in Western style is written most often from left to right as though the head is rotated counter-clockwise 90 degrees.
