Meet the Quokka, the happiest animal on Earth. These are the CUTEST photos you’ll see all day! These ten photos show that the Quokka, a small marsupial native to a small corner of southwestern Australia, truly has only “good sides” when it comes to getting its picture taken! The Quokka poses no threat to humans, and clearly, can be very friendly. Unfortunately, their friendliness may have contributed to their drastic reduction in population after dingos and foxes entered Australia. Now listed as “vulnerable”, the Quokka populations are recovering in some areas, thanks to conservation efforts. Hopefully that means more photos and videos of the adorable little guys will surface on the Internet! Share this article with your friends and family and give them something adorable to smile about today!
Kitzmiller v. Dover Area School District Tammy Kitzmiller, et al. v. Dover Area School District, et al. (400 F. Supp. 2d 707, Docket no. 4cv2688) was the first direct challenge brought in the United States federal courts testing a public school district policy that required the teaching of intelligent design.[1] In October 2004 the Dover Area School District changed its biology teaching curriculum to require that intelligent design be presented as an alternative to evolution theory, and that Of Pandas and People was to be used as a reference book.[2] The plaintiffs successfully argued that intelligent design is a form of creationism, and that the school board policy violated the Establishment Clause of the First Amendment to the United States Constitution. The judge's decision sparked considerable response from both supporters and critics. The suit was brought in the U.S. District Court for the Middle District of Pennsylvania seeking declaratory and injunctive relief.
Wikileaks International non-profit organisation publishing secret information, news leaks and classified media During the 2016 US presidential election campaign, WikiLeaks released emails and other documents from the Democratic National Committee and from Hillary Clinton's campaign manager, John Podesta showing that the party's national committee favoured Hillary Clinton over her rival Bernie Sanders in the primaries.[27] These releases caused significant harm to the Clinton campaign, and have been attributed as a potential contributing factor to her loss.[28] The U.S. intelligence community expressed "high confidence" that the leaked emails had been hacked by Russia and supplied to WikiLeaks. Wikileaks said that the source of the documents was not Russia or any other state.[29] During the campaign, WikiLeaks promoted conspiracy theories about Hillary Clinton and the Democratic Party.[30][31][32] History Staff, name and founding

Minoan civilization Map of Minoan Crete The Minoan civilization was an Aegean Bronze Age civilization that arose on the island of Crete and flourished from approximately the 27th century BC to the 15th century BC.[1] It was rediscovered at the beginning of the 20th century through the work of British archaeologist Arthur Evans. Will Durant referred to it as "the first link in the European chain."[2] Cerebral Outpourings at 5am « saintdavetheathiest Why is this world so fucked up? Why do people have to be such constant pricks about everything? From the Muslims who think it is acceptable to kill people for something so petty as drawing a fucking cartoon of their prophet, despite the fact that its apparently OK for them to regularly mock Jews in their publications, to companies like Apple who treat their workers in China so badly they have the highest rate of suicides in ANY of the major corporations factories. Today I read about big companies like Barclays who put wagers on what the price of food will be in certain third world countries at the end of, for example, the financial year. The act of betting on this particular outcome affects the price of the foods in question.
