Little Sun Belfast Telegraph The Logic of Science Chiarelli C., Guntarik O., “Borneo through the Lens: A.C. Haddon’s Photographic Collections, Sarawak 1898–99” | Cosimo Chiarelli Cosimo Chiarelli and Olivia Guntarik paid attention to the part of the expedition on Borneo, where some members of Haddon’s team spent a few months between the end of 1898 and the spring of 1899.The few references to this stage of the expedition are dismissive. The rst Haddon biography, for instance, describes Borneo as a “diversion” (Quiggin 1942, p. 103). Other scholars have referred to the adventure in Borneo as “a delightful way to spend a holiday and to acquire a general knowledge of the customs and character of the people” (Stocking 1995, p. 111), or underlined the inconsistency of the results achieved (Kuklick 1991, p. 135). In fact, the great dearth of attention to the expedition’s time on Borneo has some justication; the visit there was impromptu and ill-equipped from a scientic point of view. fascination with Sarawak that lasted for most of his academic career. to Borneo unmistakable historic signicance. While the Borneo phase of the expedition did not lead to major

Clay Shirky | Speaker KILLED in CARS Matthew Dotson - Sublimation I suspect that most music reviewers are aficionados of other good reviewers, and a big part of my musical news comes through some of my favorite creative music advocates/writers like “Strauss” at Tiny Mix Tapes/Cerberus. A little less than a year ago, I read his review of Matthew Dotson’s “Excavation,” and was intrigued enough to order the tape, which indeed lives up to its glowing review. Since then, Dotson has released a pair of cassettes through Chicago’s Already Dead Tapes, including the recent “Sublimation.” Over the course of three tapes, Matthew Dotson’s music has moved increasingly toward the “vaporwave” movement, using fragments of muzak-y pop culture aural effluvium as sound sources, but the way he handles musical materials feels wholly different than most folks associated with vaporwave. I find Dotson’s approach far more musically interesting than most vaporwavers, and I wasn’t surprised to find that he’s studied composition at the doctoral level.
Jesus Was a Rape Baby – Sarah McDavitt Woods According to The Gospel of Mary and other early church documents, Mary, the mother of Jesus, was most likely betrothed to Jesus’ earthly father Joseph at the age of 12, though she possibly was as old as 14. The Catholic Church and Evangelical churches typically teach she was no older than 15 when she became the Mother of God. As a betrothed virgin girl, the responsibility for Mary’s care had transferred from her father to adult widower Joseph, who had legal rights over her. A Jewish girl in Mary’s time would typically marry as a young adolescent and have been betrothed for a year before wedding and formally commencing cohabitation and sexual relations. At some point during that year, when Mary was still a virgin and legally Joseph’s responsibility, she became pregnant with Jesus. It is highly unlikely Jesus was conceived as the result of a youthful romance. The men who wrote the Bible claimed Mary submitted obediently when she became the Mother of God. Mary was not an exception.
Atlas africain : L'afrique et son environnement européen et asiatique, de Jean Jolly. De la préhistoire au XXIè siècle. Des origines de l’homme au peuplement de l’Eurasie L’histoire de l’homme est conditionnée depuis les origines par la géographie, l’environnement et le climat. Pour retracer ce long parcours de plusieurs millions d’années sur plusieurs milliers de kilomètres, seuls des morceaux d’os ou de dents sont parvenus jusqu’à nous. Les plus anciens hominidés bipèdes sont reconnus aux alentours de 6 millions d’années, avec Orrorin tugenensis dont les premiers restes furent mis au jour en 2000 au Kenya. Les premiers conquérants… On admettait classiquement que les premiers hommes à quitter l’Afrique pour émigrer en Eurasie étaient des descendants d’Homo erectus. … et les premiers hommes modernes A Atapuerca, en Espagne, a vécu une autre espèce vieille de 780 000 ans, Homo antecessor, différant des Homo erectus, des Homo ergaster et des Homo habilis au sens strict.

How the homeless create homes The number of people facing housing insecurity, already on the rise, began to climb more steeply as a result of the Great Recession. This upward trend will likely be exacerbated if President Trump’s proposed cuts to food stamps, Medicaid and housing subsidies are enacted, which will force even more to make a choice between food on the table and a roof above their heads. To those who are safely housed, a homeless person is apt to inspire feelings ranging from fear and disgust to pity and guilt. Such negative responses are rooted in longstanding myths about “hobos,” “Bowery bums,” and “bag ladies.” Some may believe that homeless people are free spirits who simply prefer to live outside. More likely, they’re viewed as misfits – dysfunctional, threatening, potentially criminal. Above all, they are not like us. In my new book, “Extreme Domesticity: A View from the Margins,” I examine ethnographies, journalistic accounts and memoirs that have been written about homeless people and communities.
