Starp citu - pamanījāt, ka Kolins Pauels kopš vakardienas ir par Obamu un pret Makkeinu? Šī gada sākumā Rasmussen Reports ziņoja, ka saskaņā ar viņu veiktas aptaujas rezultātiem "voters are not likely to be impressed by high profile political endorsements. Out of a list of fifteen different public figures, publications, national associations and politicians, only one endorsement – Colin Powell’s – would have a significant net positive impact on voters." |

Ikvienam, kurš uzdrīkstas kādas [savas] koncepcijas, domas v.tml. ilustrēšanai izmantot alas līdzību no Platona "Valsts", vajadzētu atņemt akadēmisko grādu vai - ja tāda nav - pusi mantas. |

Tu re, izrādās pastāv tāda Sokrata tautskola, kur var apgūt visādas brīnišķīgas lietas. Piemēram:
"Ritmoloģija - vienīgā zinātnes nozare, kas pēta laiku un apmāca darboties ar Laiku un Laikā. Līdz šim cilvēcei nebija iespēju darboties ar Laiku, kā ar dzīvu substanci. Tas kļuva iespējams, zivs ērai nomainoties uz ūdensvīra ēru. Laiks uz zemi nokļūst tieši, un tāpēc vienkārši dzīvē nepieciešams iemācīties dzīvot laikā. Ritmoloģija palīdz izprast ritma loģiku. Izprotot laiku un ritmu, cilvēkam rodas iespējas ātrāk uztvert un apgūt sarežģītu informāciju. Ja cilvēkam ir laiks, viņš var saņemt enerģiju un tās veidus, piemēram, naudas un informācijas veidā. Bet ko darīt, ja cilvēkam laika nav? Novēlam katram iemantot (apgūt) savu laiku, iepazīstot ritmoloģiju!" |

Uzzināju, ka mans vārds "causes procrastination, lack of confidence, and the inability to realize your goals and ambitions.This name, when combined with the last name, can frustrate happiness, contentment, and success, as well as cause health weaknesses in the fluid systems, and tension or accidents to the head."
Ko nu?

"The putty-nosed monkeys, Cercopithecus nictitans, of the Gashaka Gumti National Park, have two main alarm call sounds. A sound known onomatopoeically as the “pyow” warns other animals against a lurking leopard, and a cough-like sound that scientists call a “hack” is used when an eagle is hovering near by.
Kate Arnold and Klaus Zuberbühler, of the University of St Andrews, have now observed the monkeys using these sounds in a new way. A particular sequence of pyows and hacks appears to mean something entirely different.
The monkeys live in groups consisting of a single adult male accompanied by several adult females and their young. When the male utters this “sentence”, consisting of up to three pyows followed by up to four hacks, it seems to be a command telling others to move,generally to find safer, less exposed terrain.
They use the signal not only when predators are around, but also during ordinary activities such as foraging. It seems to mean “let’s get out of here”.
The research is published today in the journal Nature. Dr Arnold said: “These calls were not produced randomly and a number of distinct patterns emerged. One of these patterns was what we have termed a pyow-hack sequence. This was either produced alone or inserted at certain positions in the call series.
“Observationally and experimentally we have demonstrated that this sequence serves to elicit group movement in both predatory contexts and during normal day-to-day activities such as finding food sources and sleeping sites.
“The pyow-hack sequence means something like ‘let’s go’ whereas the pyows by themselves have multiple functions and the hacks are generally used as alarm calls.”
Dr Arnold added: “The implications are that primates, at least, may be able to ignore the usual relationship between an individual call and any meaning that it might convey under certain circumstances.”
Dr Zuberbühler said: “To our knowledge, this is the first good evidence of a syntax-like natural communication system in a non-human species.”"
