?Y New insights into the origin of the Indo-European languages

Явно е, че в днешната историография, вкл. По произхода и еволюцията на езиците, има повече политически влияние и политика, отколкото научна коректност и търсене на възможно повече доближаване до истината.

Все пак - един поглед от любопитство и към това, ако и когато се намери време.

Металлические вещи и конструкции могут препятствовать прохождению сигнала Wi-Fi, если они расположены на пути между вашим маршрутизатором и гаджетом. Еще слабый сигнал часто объясняется удаленностью роутера от устройства и недостаточной мощностью передачи данных.

study shows that among climate-related causes, the redistribution of groundwater actually has the largest impact on the drift of the rotational pole."

What's more, the extracted groundwater that ended up in the oceans may have boosted global sea level rise by around 0.25 inch (6.24 millimeters). "Groundwater depletion is a significant contributor to sea level rise," the researchers wrote in the study, published June 15 in the journal Geophysical Research Letters. 

Y Why curly hair was an evolutionary advantage

"Three wigs were made from black human hair sourced from China—one straight, one moderately curly, and one tightly curled—so that the researchers could observe how different hair textures affected heat gain and loss on the scalp. They also calculated heat loss at different windspeeds, after wetting the wigs to simulate sweating.

Y Why is India dropping evolution and the periodic table from school science?

https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-023-01750-2

Alternative methods

Moreover, there’s a great deal of literature and teaching practice that outlines how scientific concepts can be taught using visual methods, such as videos and animation, instead of by rote learning. An alternative is to embed concepts using non-fiction narrative storytelling. In the case of the periodic table, this would involve detailing how individual elements found their places in the table; the highs and lows, dramas and inflection points as researchers sought to get to the truth and be recognized for their achievements.

...
Few people would take issue with its ambition to boost critical thinking and promote learning by doing, or with its desire for students to enjoy their education. Both can go hand-in-hand with exploring India’s rich pre- and postcolonial history of discovery and innovation.

A story about nasty labelling and (lack of) friends

https://www.facebook.com/groups/2518338771809910/permalink/3318671231776656/?sfnsn=mo&ref=share

"During a prank, a student stuck a paper on his classmate's back that said "𝗜'𝗺 𝗦𝘁𝘂𝗽𝗶𝗱", and asked the rest of the class not to tell the boy.
Thus the students began laughing on and off...
Came afternoon math class started and their teacher wrote a difficult question on the board.
No one was able to answer it except the boy with the sticker.
Amid the unexplained giggles, he walked toward the board and solved the problem.
The teacher asked the class to clap for him and remove the paper on his back.
She told him: "It seems that you don’t know about the paper your classmate has pasted on your back."
Then the teacher looked at the rest of the class and said:
"Before I give you a punishment, let me tell you 2 things:
First, throughout your Life, people will put labels on you with many nasty words to stop your progress.
Had your classmate known about the paper, he wouldn't have gotten up to answer the question.
𝗔𝗹𝗹 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗵𝗮𝘃𝗲 𝘁𝗼 𝗱𝗼 𝗶𝗻 𝗟𝗶𝗳𝗲 𝗶𝘀 𝗶𝗴𝗻𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗹𝗮𝗯𝗲𝗹𝘀 𝗽𝗲𝗼𝗽𝗹𝗲 𝗴𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘀𝗲𝗶𝘇𝗲 𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘆 𝗼𝗽𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁𝘂𝗻𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗵𝗮𝘃𝗲 𝘁𝗼 𝗹𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗻, 𝗴𝗿𝗼𝘄 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗶𝗺𝗽𝗿𝗼𝘃𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿𝘀𝗲𝗹𝗳."
"Second, it’s clear that he doesn't have any loyal friend among you all to tell him about the sticker.
It doesn't matter how many friends you have - it is the loyalty you share with your friends that matters.

https://www.cnbc.com/2023/05/04/how-to-raise-happy-kids-says-child-psychologist-let-them-get-upset.html

"You could ask an upset child to take a deep breath and attempt to put their feelings into words, experts say. Or, acknowledge the child’s feelings, even if you have to stand firm, with phrases like “I wish we could do that. Unfortunately, we can’t right now,” Klein advises.

“Strength comes from being able to have these pretty intense emotions, like anger, [then] handling it and knowing that ’Mommy or Daddy is still there for me, they’re not upset with me, they’re not going to cast me aside,” she says.

Most importantly, understand that the child’s negative emotions will always pass, barring the presence of any major traumatic events. “Assuming that their life is OK, they’re going to be happy,” says Klein.

Children who learn to manage their negative emotions effectively are more likely to develop the resilience they’ll need as a successful adult, research shows."

Seminar

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seminar


A seminar is a form of academic instruction, either at an academic institution or offered by a commercial or professional organization. It has the function of bringing together small groups for recurring meetings, focusing each time on some particular subject, in which everyone present is requested to participate. This is often accomplished through an ongoing Socratic dialogue[1] with a seminar leader or instructor, or through a more formal presentation of research. It is essentially a place where assigned readings are discussed, questions can be raised and debates can be conducted.[2]

V. ARABIAN NIGHTS , Will Smith

https://youtube.com/watch?v=rV1ZJ1wRgUg&si=EnSIkaIECMiOmarE

ARABIAN NIGHTS
Of Will Smith

Oh, imagine a land, it's a faraway place
Where the caravan camels roam
Where you wander among every culture and tongue
It's chaotic, but, hey, it's home

When the wind's from the East
And the sun's from the Westb
And the sand in the glass is right
Come on down, stop on by
Hop a carpet and fly
To another Arabian night

As you wind through the streets
At the fabled bazaars
With the cardamom-cluttered stallsg
You can smell every spice
While you haggle the price
Of the silks and the satin shawls

Oh, the music that plays as you move through a maze
In the haze of your pure delight
You are caught in a dance
You are lost in the trance
Of another Arabian night

Arabian nights
Like Arabian days
More often than not are hotter than hot
In a lot of good ways to
Arabian nights
Like Arabian dreams
This mystical land of magic and sand
Is more than it seems

There's a road that may lead you
To good or to greed through
The power your wishing commands
Let the darkness unfold or find fortunes untold
Well, your destiny lies in your hands
Only one may enter here
One whose worth lies far within
A diamond in the rough

Arabian nights
Like Arabian days
They seem to excite, take off and take flight
To shock and amaze
Arabian nights
'Neath Arabian moons
A fool off his guard could fall and fall hard
Out there on the dunes

Y ? The Secret Symbols In The Bulgarian Embroidery



! Leprechaun – An Irish Luck Symbol



"Leprechaun – An Irish Luck Symbol

The leprechaun has become one of the most beloved and popular good luck symbols associated with Ireland and Saint Patrick’s Day.

Leprechauns are one of the most widespread mascots used today.

Commercially images of these little green men are used on anything remotely Irish.

... They are known to be excellent shoemakers. They are the little people who make shoes for the fairies.

Leprechauns are not social creatures and quite difficult to find. They live in remote areas and underground.

They are very short and will be able to fit through small openings in the ground and in caves which humans cannot possibly enter.

... It is easier to hear a leprechaun than to see one.

If you hear a faint tapping sound when walking in the countryside it is quite possible it may be the sound of a leprechaun making a shoe.

... Leprechauns are extremely rich. They earn good money from their shoemaker business.

... These little people claim all hidden assets they find in the ground.

... If you are lucky enough to catch a leprechaun, he has clever ways to make you set him free. The most common story is that a leprechaun will grant you three wishes in exchange for his freedom.

Just be very careful what you wish for. Make sure your wishes are not to be misunderstood. ..."the
