How Hardwired Is Human Behavior? New fields of science don’t emerge in a flash, and evolutionary psychology—sometimes called modern Darwinism—is no exception. But over the past several years, evolutionary psychology as a discipline has gathered both momentum and respect. A convergence of research and discoveries in genetics, neuropsychology, and paleobiology, among other sciences, evolutionary psychology holds that although human beings today inhabit a thoroughly modern world of space exploration and virtual realities, they do so with the ingrained mentality of Stone Age hunter-gatherers. Homo sapiens emerged on the Savannah Plain some 200,000 years ago, yet according to evolutionary psychology, people today still seek those traits that made survival possible then: an instinct to fight furiously when threatened, for instance, and a drive to trade information and share secrets. Human beings are, in other words, hardwired. You can take the person out of the Stone Age, not the Stone Age out of the person. Gossip.

IR remote control for use by the resistance - Waterfox What to connect to your IR remote control No more foot patrols for the enemy Connect to the IR remote control receiver and plant where you want to give the enemy a surprise. The advantage is that no innocent people will be hit. And since you instead of a dumb tripwire decide when to fire the mine it can be fired whenever the enemy come close enough. Screws and nuts are probably the cheapest projectiles to fill up the grenade with. If you have no high explosives Then try instead a simple homebuilt cannon built from a steel pipe, and use gun powder, matchheads or mixtures of aluminum, magnesium powder and oxidizer to launch the screws and nuts. If you read the US military's own statistics then you will find that EFP is 6 times more effective than the big bombs at killing US troops and vehicles. EFP is also useful against fortified buildings. The shape of the dish decides what happens. The jet is a special case in which there is no lasting projectile. Patent : 6606951 EFP antiarmour mine

WHAT HAPPENS IN THE BRAIN OF SCHIZOPHRENIA PATIENTS?: AN INVESTIGATION FROM THE VIEWPOINT OF NEUROPATHOLOGY Chapter 7: Human Society Chapter 7: HUMAN SOCIETY As a species, we are social beings who live out our lives in the company of other humans. We organize ourselves into various kinds of social groupings, such as nomadic bands, villages, cities, and countries, in which we work, trade, play, reproduce, and interact in many other ways. Insight into human behavior comes from many sources. This chapter covers recommendations about human society in terms of individual and group behavior, social organizations, and the processes of social change. The chapter describes seven key aspects of human society: cultural effects on human behavior, the organization and behavior of groups, the processes of social change, social trade-offs, forms of political and economic organization, mechanisms for resolving conflict among groups and individuals, and national and international social systems. Human behavior is affected both by genetic inheritance and by experience. Technology has long played a major role in human behavior.

How to kill UAV - Waterfox How to kill UAVs The UAVs have two alternative systems for communication. Line of sight radio : In the military C-Band 500 - 1000 MHz that can be jammed with simple spark-gap radio Satellite communication : In the Ku-Band between 10.95 - 14.5 GHz, and the satellite can be jammed. The Uplink-Band to the satellite is 13.75 - 14.5 GHz The Downlink-Band from the satellite is 10.95 - 12.75 GHz And you should jam the Uplink frequencies with a jammer directed at the satellite. The satellite link system is from L-3 Communications. Surprisingly, the resistance can tap off the military's video feeds As you can see in the specifications, the satellite link system uses the same civilian commercial technology as television broadcasting companies. If you jam the communication, then the operator becomes blind and the UAV will fly around until it crashes or the fuel is gone. There are a limited number of satellite channels available which means that the satellite link becomes a bottleneck. Feed horn

scientists solve secret of nerve cells marking a form of schizophrenia The neurons generated from every 22q11DS carrier in the study demonstrated a consistently less-than-normal voltage difference between the inner-facing and outer-facing sides of the cell membranes when the cells weren’t firing. A quiescent neuron’s cross-membrane voltage difference is called its resting membrane potential; it keeps the neuron poised to fire while preventing it from firing at random. Cortical neurons derived from people with 22q11DS were more excitable, the study found. The researchers also studied a gene called DGCR8, which has been suspected of being tied to schizophrenia. Knocking down DGCR8’s activity levels in the control neurons reproduced the weakened resting membrane potential and associated malfunctions seen in the 22q11DS neurons. “DGCR8 is probably the main player in the cellular defects we observed,” Pasca said. “We can’t test hallucinations in a dish,” Pasca said. There are undoubtedly many types of schizophrenia, he said.

Gardner's Theory of Multiple Intelligences | Simply Psychology Linguistic Intelligence is a part of Howard Gardner’s multiple intelligence theory that deals with sensitivity to the spoken and written language, ability to learn languages, and capacity to use language to accomplish certain goals. Linguistic intelligence involves the ability to use language masterfully to express oneself rhetorically or poetically. It includes the ability to manipulate syntax, structure, semantics, and phonology of language. People with linguistic intelligence, such as William Shakespeare and Oprah Winfrey, have the ability to analyze information and create products involving oral and written language, such as speeches, books, and memos.

Blindmute Loli - Everything Shii Knows It was a lot more annoying to maintain this website after it closed than I expected. Even after I put up a big banner it turned out that I was hosting stuff here without copyrights and moral permissions. I need to focus on other things in my ife these days. A lot of 4chan stuff, including things taken from this wiki, can be found on GitHub (why GitHub? IDK) If you're interested in the history of 4chan, another guy named Cole Stryker documented it much better than I did. The funny guys behind the Zybourne Clock now have their own website. As for the rest... um... I invite you to check out the rest of my website if you like translations of manga and stuff. Cell types underlying schizophrenia identified | UCL News The cell types underlying schizophrenia have been identified in a genetic study that looked for commonalities among the different genes already linked to the condition, find researchers at UCL, Karolinska Institutet (Sweden) and University of North Carolina (USA). The study, published today in Nature Genetics, offers a roadmap for the development of new therapies to target the condition. "Understanding which cell types are affected in a disease is of critical importance for developing new medicines to improve their treatment. If we do not know what causes a disorder we cannot study how to treat it," said co-lead author Dr Nathan Skene (UCL Institute of Neurology and Karolinska Institutet). Genetic studies have linked hundreds of genes to schizophrenia, each contributing a small part to the risk of developing the disease. "This study marks a transition in how we can use large genetic studies to understand the biology of disease. Links Image Source Karolinska Institutet Media contact Chris Lane
