Why we f*ck A professional thinker named Thomas Hobbes got it into our heads for an embarrassingly long time that our ancestors were pitiful, lonely, mean people. Three and a half centuries later Hobbes is still revered for his smarts, even though he’ll always be most famous for that unfortunate soundbyte in which he described the life of prehistoric man as “solitary, poor, nasty, brutish and short.” Today few serious scientists are waving the “brutish and short” flag. Although the image of the paranoid, dumb, violent, solitary caveman persists in pop culture (and sometimes in our early blog posts) there’s little evidence to support it. We now know human beings have always been highly social creatures, and that that has been our species’ defining strength. As an interesting side-effect of rethinking what human quality of life was like in prehistory, it’s becoming clear that for all but the most recent sliver of human existence, human beings were not monogamous. And we know they had lots of hot sex.

2011 military intervention in Libya From the beginning of the intervention, the initial coalition of Belgium, Canada, Denmark, France, Italy, Norway, Qatar, Spain, UK and US[25][26][27][28][29] expanded to nineteen states, with newer states mostly enforcing the no-fly zone and naval blockade or providing military logistical assistance. The effort was initially largely led by France and the United Kingdom, with command shared with the United States. NATO took control of the arms embargo on 23 March, named Operation Unified Protector. An attempt to unify the military command of the air campaign (whilst keeping political and strategic control with a small group), first failed over objections by the French, German, and Turkish governments.[30][31] On 24 March, NATO agreed to take control of the no-fly zone, while command of targeting ground units remains with coalition forces.[32][33][34] The handover occurred on 31 March 2011 at 06:00 UTC (08:00 local time).

OBAMA vs ROMNEY: Here's Who's Right About The Economy United States–Yemen relations Traditionally, United States – Yemen relations have been tepid, as the lack of strong military-to-military ties, commercial relations, and support of Yemeni President Ali Abdullah Saleh has hindered the development of strong bilateral ties. During the early years of the George W. Bush administration, relations improved under the rubric of the war on terror, though Yemen's lax policy toward wanted terrorists has stalled additional United States support.[1] According to the 2012 U.S. Country Comparison[edit] History[edit] The United States established diplomatic relations with the Imamate in 1947. On December 7, 1967, the United States recognized the People's Democratic Republic of Yemen and elevated its Consulate General in Aden to embassy status. The United States was actively involved in and strongly supportive of parliamentary elections in 1993 as well as the 2006 presidential and local council elections, and continues working to strengthen Yemen's democratic institutions.

Generasjon status quo Nå roper en verden: Vi trenger ditt hjerte, din evne, ditt brennende sinn! Og fikk du din ungdom til odel og eie, så bruk den, sett kreftene inn! Arne Paasche Aasen - Norsk ungdom går sammen om en slags dominerende kultur, en politisk korrekthet. Hørt det før? Unge vil bevare dagens velferdssamfunn som det er. - Norsk ungdom viser ikke størst engasjement for de store verdensproblemene. Han har gjennomført en ny undersøkelse av ungdommens verdisyn for Norsk institutt for forskning om oppvekst, velferd og aldring (Nova), som publiseres i høst. - Den bekrefter at ungdom stort sett er opptatt av sine egne personlige prosjekter om å gjøre det godt på skolen. Årets stalltips før stortingsvalget i 2013 er dermed ute. Symbolet Bieber Han mener tenåringsidolet Justin Bieber er det fremste symbolet på den nye ungdomstrenden. - Selv popidolene har en helt annen innpakning i dag enn for 40 år siden, da ungdommen fulgte band som Rolling Stones. - Avstanden mellom generasjonene er blitt mindre.

Inviterer retten til å se bort fra den første erklæringen Det er mye som er snudd på hodet i denne uvanlige straffesaken. Aktorene Svein Holden og Inga Bejer Engh har tvilt seg frem til at massedrapsmannen er utilregnelig og derfor må overføres til tvungent psykisk helsevern. Advokat Lippestads oppgave er å overbevise retten om at klienten er tilregnelig og klar til å ta sin forvaringsstraff. Det pleier å være motsatt – fordi utilregnelighet i norsk strafferett altså anses for å være til gunst for tiltalte, og det er jo en forsvarers oppgave å rekke frem det som er til fordel for klienten. Godtok den første rapporten Slik er det altså ikke i denne ualminnelige saken. <object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" width="640" height="360" id="MMPlayerStandard"><param name="movie" value="MMPlayerStandard.swf" /><param name="quality" value="high" /><param name="bgcolor" value="#ffffff" /><param name="allowScriptAccess" value="sameDomain" /><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true" /><! - Rart å høre at han ber om frikjennelse

Declaration of Independence - Text Transcript The Declaration of Independence: A Transcription IN CONGRESS, July 4, 1776. The unanimous Declaration of the thirteen united States of America, When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation. We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. He has refused his Assent to Laws, the most wholesome and necessary for the public good. Nor have We been wanting in attentions to our Brittish brethren. The 56 signatures on the Declaration appear in the positions indicated:

Psykt og folkelig | STUDVEST.no «How I met my therapist» er underholdende og energisk hele veien, men skjemmes noe av mangel på originalitet og rød tråd. I utgangspunktet har de gjort det lett for seg ved å ha et konsept som kan inneholde alt: En mor i fremtiden forteller sine barn om hvordan det var å leve og være student i Bergen i 2012. Revyen beveger seg hovedsaklig innenfor dette triangelet: Psykologistudenten, Bergen og medier. Åpningsnummeret, i musikalstil, er eksplosivt og omhandler den forvirrende følelsen man kan få av å være ny student i Bergen. Revyen skrider videre med artige og gjenkjennelige sketsjer i et høyt tempo, om studentøkonomi, kollektivtilværelse iscenesatt som et realityshow og lesesalsproblemer. Det høye tempoet er en kvalitet, og noen av de korteste sketsjene er faktisk blant de mest originale og gode. Skuespillerne gjør en god jobb, og de er flinke til å parodiere kjente folk på en treffende måte.

Kunsten å si nei : Ny Tid PRISET: Jarle Bernhoft fikk denne uka én million kroner fra Statoil. Han må dermed stille opp for oljeselskapet flere ganger. Avtalen innebærer gjensidig respekt, opplyser Statoils informasjonssjef. Foto: wikicommons 18. februar mottok Jarle Bernhoft (35) Statoil-stipendet på én million kroner fra oljeselskapets informasjonsdirektør. 23.02.2012 17:28 – Av Torbjørn Tumyr Nilsen torbjorn@nytid.no Pris. Brando er borte i protest. Francis Ford Coppolas Gudfaren gir Brando en Oscar-statuett han ikke ønsker motta. SA NEI I: Sacheen Littlefeather sa 27. mars 1973 nei til Oscar-statuetten, på vegne av Marlon Brando. Og i Brandos sted går den 26 år gamle apache-kvinnen Sacheen Littlefeather opp på podiet, ikledd tradisjonelle apacheklær. En sjokkert verden ser på i vantro. Marlon Brandos Oscar-avslag blir historisk, og det får følger for hvordan Hollywood framstilte og behandlet urfolk. Bylarm-splittelsen Henne eller Statoil-stipendnominasjonen. Vi møter henne på en helt annen café i hovedstaden.
