On Smell
Smell is one of our primary and most immediate ways of understanding and interpreting the world and everything in it. We naturally categorise things into good and bad smells, and gravitate towards the former. Billion dollar industries exist around masking smells; making our environments and bodies smell better and less human. We often intuitively talk about smell as a shortcut to memory — with a certain, distinct scent being enough to remind us of of a certain time or place, often with great emotional intensity. Yet throughout history, smell has oftentimes been considered a lower sense, through which we can only access a baser reality. Plato renounced smell. Philosopher G.W. When the Black Death swept through Europe in the 14th century, understanding of the modern germ theory of disease eluded doctors. Enlightenment thinkers dismissed smell as irrational and unverifiable. But not all throughout history have rejected smell as low and base. “Not just smells.
Is slavery wrong? - Atheist Alliance International
Recently a Muslim asked me, “Why is it bad to own slaves?” It’s a good question and it needs an answer. What religions tell us Both Christians and Muslims can answer this question from their holy scriptures, and both would find similar answers. The Bible, in the Old and New Testaments, permits slavery. God outlaws many things from having a tattoo to eating a pork sausage but he does not outlaw slavery. What reason tells us But atheists have no god to rely on and must use evidence and reason to arrive at a conclusion. Holding slaves is about how we treat fellow human beings so, by definition, it is a moral question. When you have a choice that affects another human, the moral act is one that reduces or prevents suffering or increases well-being. I would be the first to concede that moral decisions are not always clear-cut. Fortunately, we don’t have to worry too much about these intractable edge-cases because slavery does such gross damage to a person’s well-being that it is clearly wrong.

Concurrent ontology and the extensional conception of attribute "By analogy with the extension of a type as the set of individuals of that type, we define the extension of an attribute as the set of states of an idealized observer of that attribute, observing concurrently with observers of other attributes. The attribute theoretic counterpart of an operation mapping individuals of one type to individuals of another is a dependency mapping states of one attribute to states of another. We integrate attributes with types via a symmetric but not self-dual framework of dipolar algebras or disheaves amounting to a type-theoretic notion of Chu space over a family of sets of qualia doubly indexed by type and attribute, for example the set of possible colors of a ball or heights of buildings. We extend the sheaf-theoretic basis for type theory to a notion of disheaf on a profunctor. Keywords: Attribute, Chu space, ontology, presheaf, type." "3.3 Ontology of properties and qualia (Notes:
Seekers Of The Lost Pieces – The Lacanian Review
When I first saw the Kennedy assassination filmed by Zapruder, I thought that Jacqueline was trying to jump out of the limousine after the fatal shot. An understandable reaction of panic in someone who sees bullets impact on the one next to them. Later, White’s interview made me see better what the images showed. She did not jump out of the vehicle, but instead tried to retrieve a piece of her husband’s brain mass. Vain effort from the medical point of view, but not from the perspective of desire.

1. What is Multimodal Literacy? – Multimodal Literacy
Multimodal literacy, first proposed by Professor Gunter Kress and Professor Carey Jewitt, Institute of Education, University of London[1], is about understanding the different ways of knowledge representations and meaning-making. Multimodal literacy focuses on the design of discourse by investigating the contributions of specific semiotic resources, (e.g. language, gesture, images) co-deployed across various modalities (e.g. visual, aural, somatic), as well as their interaction and integration in constructing a coherent multimodal text (such as advertisements, posters, news report, websites, films). The pedagogical approaches in developing multimodal literacy is informed by the seminal work by Emeritus Professor Michael Halliday’s in Systemic Functional Theory[2] as well as other international scholars and researchers in the field of multimodality. [1] Jewitt, C., & Kress, G. [2] See for example, Halliday, M.A.K. (1978). 1st Dimension of Multimodal Literacy: Media Literacy Like this:
Ten Amazing Artifacts from the Ancient World
There are undoubtedly millions of amazing artifacts from the ancient world that have served to shed light on the lives of our ancestors from many millennia ago. But some stand out for their uniqueness, their intrigue, or their ability to expand our knowledge about previously unknown aspects of our history. Here we feature ten such artifacts. Thor’s Hammer (c 900 AD, Denmark) The discovery of a 10th century Viking artifact resembling the Hammer of Thor has solved a long-running mystery surrounding more than 1,000 ancient amulets found across Northern Europe. According to Norse mythology, Thor is a hammer-wielding god associated with thunder, lightning, storms, oak trees, strength, the protection of mankind, and also hallowing, healing and fertility. The Quipu of Caral (3,000 BC, Peru) The Sacred City of Caral is a 5,000-year-old metropolis which represents the oldest known civilization in the Americas, known as the Norte Chico.

Syndrome de l'imposteur
Histoire[modifier | modifier le code] La psychologue Pauline Rose Clance a été la première à étudier ce sentiment d'insécurité injustifié. Dans son travail de thérapeute, elle a remarqué que beaucoup de ses patients non diplômés partageaient une même préoccupation : bien qu'ils aient de bonnes notes, ils ne croyaient pas qu'ils méritaient leur place à l'université[1]. Avec sa collègue et psychologue Suzanne A. Imes, elles étudieront ce qu’elles appelleront « le syndrome de l’imposteur »[2] en 1978, chez 150 femmes. Toutes les participantes avaient été officiellement reconnues pour leur excellence professionnelle par leurs collègues et avaient affiché des résultats scolaires grâce à des diplômes obtenus et à des scores aux tests standardisés. D’après Clance et Imes, il existe 4 comportements qui font « effet boule de neige » : - le premier comportement implique rapidité et travail acharné. - le quatrième comportement est celui de l'imposteur évitant de faire preuve de confiance en soi.
