women get into something not aimed at their gender: not real fans. probably secret friend zone warriors deadset on erasing men from the human race. get insulting demeaning memes and sexual harassment.

This is such a righteous post that I am happy I stayed up late. I will probably still regret going to school on 5hrs of sleep, but then I’ll just think of this and not give a damn.

Frozen Swiss Landscape

In January 2005, Lake Geneva and the surrounding area were hit with a horrific ice storm. Everything was completely blanketed with ice when waves breaking on the lake’s shore hardened into a solid coating in the sub-freezing temperatures. Several boats even sank under the weight of the ice. The wind gusts reached 110 km/h (60 mph) and literally froze water sprays in their place.

Vaccine Delivery Via Nanopatch Eliminates Needles

A new technology called Nanopatch is showing promise as a needle-free way to deliver vaccines.

Unlike the Nanopatch which is coated with dry vaccine, the needle and syringe form of delivery uses liquid vaccine that has to be refrigerated from point of creation, through transport and site storage, to delivery, something referred to as the “cold-chain”. This is very difficult to achieve in poor, remote regions with little or no healthcare infrastructures.

For instance, according to the World Health Organization (WHO), half the vaccines used in Africa aren’t effective because of broken cold chains. Read More

So cool!

“At TEDGlobal Kendall announced that a pilot trial for the Nanopatch is about to start in Papua New Guinea, a country with the highest rate of human papillomavirus (HPV)”

“Whether or not something is intended for entertainment is irrelevant in critiquing it- or perhaps only makes it more necessary of critique. When you don’t even realize you’re absorbing a larger message about something because you’ve internalized it as “this is only entertainment,” its potential danger is increased.”

- from this post a while back (a messaged that asked whether we should be more critical of parents than Disney etc)

Sword

Dated: 6th 3rd century B.C.E.

Culture: European, Iberian

Medium: Bronze, silver, lapis lazuli

Measurements: L: 69.2 cm

The weapon is composed of two cast bronze elements: the blade, very elongated and regular in shape, is extremely thin; it is reinforced by a central tripartite rib and the hilt has an elaborate structure and is richly decorated, perhaps with a unique pattern; it comprises three parts, including a rectangular component (in which the blade fits).

The latter one is surmounted by an elliptical feature and a special type of pommel, embellished by two large discs, each with a central point in relief. The crossguard, positioned in a non-ergonomic position, stays in the center of the hilt and it has a small horizontal segment. The inlaid silver decoration is the most distinctive feature of this weapon.

‘Schwan Kleb’ An’ by Ludwig Bechstein, illustrated by Heinrich Lefler. Part of a fairy tale calender published 1905 by Berger & Wirth, Leipzig.

Description: The tale of a magical swan which is gifted to a luckless young man by an old crone. Everyone who touches the swan has to stick to it and cannot be released until they’ve promised certain things to the young man, so he ends up with a large fortune and even a pretty princess who promises to marry him.

“

For most of America, Psy is a funny name, a funny face, and a funny personality. He doesn’t sing in English and most people just don’t get it leaving most of them to not take him seriously. It’s easy to strip the significance behind “Gangnam Style” down if you don’t know what it means and solely find entertainment in the Asian guy shaking his hips. But what most people don’t realize is that Psy doesn’t take himself seriously. He’s a satirist and political dissident. “Gangnam Style” was a commentary, not just a fun pop tune with a silly dance.

Gangnam is Seoul’s wealthiest and flashiest neighborhood. For South Koreans, Gangnam represents the ideal life of excess and consumerism. Psy’s character in the video is a wannabe Gangnamite. He dreams he’s living the flashy, excessive lifestyle while he’s really just like everyone else, swimming in a public pool and riding the subway. But never in the video does it seem that Psy’s character is unhappy. He’s content to play in a children’s playground and meet the girl of his dreams in the subway. “Gangnam Style” is much more that we have made it, but that’s not surprising considering Psy’s background and how little we know about it.

In America, it seems like “Gangnam Style” was Psy’s big break when in fact the song had been released on his sixth studio album and his music career hadn’t been about making flashy and catchy songs. He believes music is the key to overcoming the intolerance embedded in his country’s political systems. Throughout his career, his songs have been banned for inappropriate content and have been surrounded by controversy, not to mention the fact that he fought his mandatory military draft.

Psy is a voice for his people. He’s fighting the oppression and intolerance he sees in his culture through his music. And by ignoring his worth and his value, we’re reducing the culture of South Korea into a short man with funny pants doing a ridiculous dance.

The Maned Wolf (Chrysocyon brachyurus) isn’t actually a wolf, (or a fox, wolf, coyote, dog or jackal) but rather a distant canid, close to foxes. Its believed that its the only survivor of the late Pleistocene extinction. It is found in the grass lands of South America.
