What is Character?

clipped from www.josephsoninstitute.org Having character is shorthand for having good character, and that means being a person who is admirable because of his self-assured, ethical behavior. Character is ethics in action. Character is not the same thing as reputation. Character is what you are. Reputation is what people say you are. Abraham Lincoln likened character to a tree and reputation to its shadow. No one is born with good character. It’s not hereditary. Yet everyone, regardless of background, enters the world with the opportunity to become a person of exemplary character.

Chernobyl: worldwide effect

One major result of the Chernobyl accident that would cause as much agony to the incident was the spread of radiation. A definite effect of the spread of the radiation was the damage it had on the Eastern European agriculture. The EC (European Community) immediately put a 90 day ban on agricultural goods from Eastern Europe. This was initially thought of as political strategy from the US as well as other Western countries. This caused the Soviet Union to take the responsibility to pay for all the damage done to the Eastern European agriculture. [49]

All the costs would eventually be analyzed in the short and long term by WHO (World Health Organization). The main factor that caused a lot of contamination and caused most of the European Countries to be concerned was the plume or cloud of smoke and debris that would travel through Europe. The countries that were affected the most are Eastern parts of Poland as well as parts of the FRG (Federal Republic of Germany). Most of the contamin

The Chemistry of B.O.

Unsurprisingly perhaps, men and women tended to produce different mixtures—though no single compound differentiated the sexes. The study provides a new method for measuring a person’s baseline odor. Because body odor can change with the onset of illness, the method could lead to new ways of diagnosing disease

clipped from nhmag.com Everyone has a special smell, often recognizable to other people and to dogs. New research, the most comprehensive study of human odor to date, shows that body odor is made up of a diverse array of volatile compounds. One’s own distinctive scent, moreover, comes from a personalized blend of those chemicals A team led by Dustin J. Penn, an evolutionary and behavioral ecologist at the Konrad Lorenz Institute for Ethology in Vienna, collected samples of saliva, armpit sweat, and urine from nearly 200 people living Photo © Milos V. Novotny and Helena A. Soini / Indiana University, Bloomington, Indiana, USA in an Austrian village. Sweat, the team discovered, includes the greatest number of volatile compounds; the team counted 373 such compounds that subjects consistently produced throughout the ten-week study Each person produced his or her own subset of the compounds. The subsets overlapped, yet individuals were readily distinguishable

Captain America

This is what we need for the world to be safe...

clipped from en.wikipedia.org Captain America, the alter ego of Steve Rogers[1], is a fictional character, a superhero in the Marvel Comics universe. Created by Joe Simon and Jack Kirby, he first appeared in Timely Comics' Captain America Comics #1 (March 1941). Often seen as a symbol of America's spirit, he has been associated with the Avengers since 1964, shortly after their formation, and is considered a founding member. Over the years, an estimated 210 million copies of "Captain America" comic books have been sold in a total of 75 countries.[2] The character has been adapted for a movie serial, two made-for-television movies, one direct-to-video movie, and several animated properties. clipped from find.msn.com In the most recent edition of the “Captain America” comic book, its namesake is killed by a sniper. The storyline of late touched on the tension between individual rights and national security, making comparisons with current times hard not to make.

Desperation Of Mad Scientists About Global Warming

Other ideas under consideration include constructing a sun shield made up of hundreds of thousands of reflectors or building a sulfur-spewing volcano to reflect the sun’s rays, preventing them from reaching the earth. These ideas haven’t been fully formulated

Many fear there will be unintended side effects; others worry such schemes might prevent the type of reduction in greenhouse gas emissions that scientists say are the only real way to fight global warming. These approaches are not an alternative to cutting pollution, said University of Calgary professor David Keith, a top geoengineering researcher.

These solutions aren't cheap or easy, but they could help hold off warming even if we do manage to cut emissions.

clipped from plentymag.com some researchers think we may be able to prevent the world from heating up by promoting algae growth, planting an artificial forest, opening solar umbrellas, and making man-made volcanoes. "Of course it's desperation," said Stanford University professor Stephen Schneider. "It's planetary methadone for our planetary heroin addiction. It does come out of the pessimism of any realist that says this planet can't be trusted to do the right thing." Well, maybe it’s not the planet that can’t be trusted, but us humans. So far we haven’t done such a great job of showing that we can cut or slow our greenhouse gas emissions. Despite our best intentions, we still have a long way to go to avoid climate change catastrophe. Two last-ditch solutions that scientists are looking into are unloading iron into the ocean to promote algae blooms, which absorb carbon dioxide, and “growing” an artificial forest made out of steel that captures and compresses carbon dioxide into a liquid.

Journey of Mankind: The Peopling of the World, an interactive map

An intriguing, interactive map that provides a virtual migration of man from our African origins, based upon genetics, archaeological and anthropological evidence, and climatology. Very educational!

clipped from www.bradshawfoundation.com Who were our ancestors? From where did we originate? If we came out of Africa, what factors governed our routes? And when? Now finally this interactive map reveals an exciting journey of opportunity and survival, confirmed by genetic science and documented by ancient rock art. The Bradshaw Foundation, in association with Stephen Oppenheimer, presents a virtual global journey of modern man over the last 160,000 years. The map will show for the first time the interaction of migration and climate over this period. We are the descendants of a few small groups of tropical Africans who united in the face of adversity, not only to the point of survival but to the development of a sophisticated social interaction and culture expressed through many forms. Based on a synthesis of the mtDNA and Y chromosome evidence with archaeology, climatology and fossil study, Stephen Oppenheimer has tracked the routes and timing of migration, placing it in context with ancient rock art around the world.
