Fem myter om vad som skiljer människan från djuren | Lunds universitet Här är några vanliga föreställningar Lena Lindström slår hål på: Komplext språk. Präriehundar använder varningsläten för att beskriva små skillnader i annalkande personers utseende, såsom färgen på tröjan eller om den som kommer tidigare burit på ett vapen. De kan också beskriva helt nya föremål såsom röda trianglar. Bin talar med rörelser för att berätta var det finns mat eller boplats. Hundar använder sig av sociala bestraffningar. Dåligt underbyggda förslag Under årens lopp har det presenterats oräkneliga kandidater till ”humaniqueness”, som försöken att hitta en unik förmåga som förklarar vår egenuppfattade särställning ibland kallas för. – De finns hur många förslag som helst, men de är ofta extremt dåligt underbyggda. – Det är talande att det finns så stor variation i förslagen och att vi obekymrat byter ut dem efterhand som de motbevisas, anser hon. Ovetenskapligt förhållningssätt Fram till 1960-talet ansågs det exempelvis avgörande att endast människor använder verktyg.
Flash Earth - Zoom into satellite and aerial imagery Le roi est mort ! L'exposition "Le roi est mort !" - la première sur le sujet - dévoilera notamment les secrets des rituels funéraires à l’époque royale et accueillera pour l’occasion des chefs-d’œuvre du monde entier, issus notamment des collections royales anglaises ainsi que de la Frick Collection de New York. Fruit d’un programme international de recherches sur les funérailles royales dans les cours européennes, elle retracera les détails, étrangement peu connus, de la mort, de l’autopsie et des funérailles de Louis XIV et étudiera la survie de ce rituel, depuis la Révolution jusqu’à l’époque contemporaine à travers une scénographie digne des plus grands spectacles baroques.

Sea Shepherd Did to a Swimming Pool What Humans Do to the Oceans Plastic pollution is recognized as a massive, global environmental issue, responsible for the deaths of over a million marine animals each year. It is a danger to all marine life including birds, sharks, turtles and marine mammals, causing injury and death through drowning, entanglement, or starvation following ingestion. It is also a danger to human life. On Earth Day on April 22, 2016, Sea Shepherd Global teamed-up with Shanghai-based creative agency, Fred & Farid, to shine a spotlight on the massive issue of plastic pollution in our oceans. Fred & Farid and Sea Shepherd have produced a short film that captures the reactions of swimmers at a public pool that has been filled with plastic pollution. “Faced with the option of swimming in a pool full of plastic pollution, most people would choose not to enter the water. “We hope that this video inspires discussion and public debate about the global problem of plastic pollution.
We're beginning to question the idea of species – including our own By Kate Douglas S. Entressangle/E. HOMO SAPIENS likes to categorise. Take the apparently simple organising principle of a species. The problem is that evolution – the origin of species – is intrinsically about gradual, random change (see “Think you understand how evolution works? We could just accept that “species” is a fluid, imperfect concept that helps us understand and conserve the diversity of the natural world. Traditional species concepts are further undermined by high levels of hybridisation in nature. 40 Maps That Will Help You Make Sense of the World If you’re a visual learner like myself, then you know maps, charts and info graphics can really help bring data and information to life. Maps can make a point resonate with readers and this collection aims to do just that. Hopefully some of these maps will surprise you and you’ll learn something new. A few are important to know, some interpret and display data in a beautiful or creative way, and a few may even make you chuckle or shake your head.

Faites la UNE 2016 Calais (France) - 15 mars 2016 16:40 - AFP (Baptiste BECQUART) L'immense mer de débris et de déchets qui s'étale sur la zone sud de la "Jungle" de Calais, mardi, témoigne de l'efficacité de sa démolition par l'Etat. Mais au nord, le bidonville, où vivent quelques milliers de migrants, se recompose, en attendant une nouvelle expulsion.Le directeur de cabinet de la préfète, Etienne Desplanques, bottes et blouson chaud de rigueur, "règne" seul sur un champ de ruines. Au milieu des employés de l'entreprise chargée du chantier, il supervise le démantèlement des dernières cabanes près du chemin menant à Jules Ferry, le centre d'accueil de jour.La présence de la dizaine de CRS semble superflue tant, loin de l'agitation d'il y a deux semaines au début de l'opération d'expulsion, la zone sud semble morte."
Video for the English classroom For the language teacher, YouTube may be nothing less than one of the best sources of material the classroom has ever seen. In this article, I would like to share 12 clips that I have used in my own classroom. I hope that each clip will be representative of a type of video that may be of particular interest to language teachers. Note: In this article, we will be examining a number of clips that are hosted on the video-sharing site YouTube. 1. Some poems are best appreciated when they are heard rather than read. For language teachers, a visual element increases the possibilities for using any text in the classroom. 2. This is an example of ‘kinetic typography’ – the technical name for a moving text. Note how the text bombards the eyes in a range of orientations, sizes, font- types, colour and movement. Kinetic typography requires ‘space-time reading’ on the part of the viewer. 3. 4. With a new advertising medium comes a whole new range of issues for the educator to confront. Is it real?
