I don't approve of it because it's still not going to stop older people from loitering and making noise. Yes, that is a problem where I work. Sometimes the older people are even worse than the younger people. Especially the elderly, they can be among the loudest of the patrons I serve. Some of them have hearing loss and therefore don't realize how loud they really are. And some simply don't care.
I have a strange curiosity now to know what the anti-loitering device would sound like. I am probably too old to hear it however.

Leonardo da Vinci's DNA
"A team of eminent specialists from a variety of academic disciplines has coalesced around a goal of creating new insight into the life and genius of Leonardo da Vinci by means of authoritative new research and modern detective technologies, including DNA science.
The Leonardo Project is in pursuit of several possible physical connections to Leonardo, beaming radar, for example, at an ancient Italian church floor to help corroborate extensive research to pinpoint the likely location of the tomb of his father and other relatives. A collaborating scholar also recently announced the successful tracing of several likely DNA relatives of Leonardo living today in Italy."

Most women in 2016 happy to be female, BBC poll suggests
"Almost nine out of 10 women would rather be a woman than a man today, compared with just over half in 1947, a Radio 4 Woman's Hour poll suggests."

not sure what is meant by a brain being male or female; i thought it wasn't that clear cut. i do though really suspect there is a biological basis.Being transgender simply happens, possibly in the womb. All brains start out female; if the fetus is male, testosterone normally programs both the genitalia and the brain to develop as male. But autopsies of a small number of male-to-female transgender people found that two important areas of the brain had a typical female pattern, suggesting an alteration in the brain’s sexual differentiation.
In individuals who transition from female to male, it is possible that excessive production of androgens during pregnancy could have programmed the brain to be male.
Among adults, male-to-female transitions are nearly three times more common than female-to-male ones. It has not been unusual for people born male to first acknowledge and express their female gender identity in midlife, often after having married and fathered children.
also interesting.A Swedish team from the Karolinska Institute and the University of Gothenberg followed 324 people who underwent sex reassignment surgery and compared them with matched controls in the general population. After an average follow-up of 11.4 years, men and women who had sex reassignments had death rates three times higher from all causes. Suicide rates were especially high, suggesting “the need for continued psychiatric follow-up” among those undergoing sex change, the authors wrote. Cancer deaths were doubled in the surgical group, though they appeared to be unrelated to hormone treatments.
The recent Danish study, by researchers in Copenhagen, investigated postoperative diseases and deaths among 104 men and women representing 98 percent of those who underwent sex reassignment surgery in Denmark from 1978 through 2010. One person in three had developed an ailment, most often cardiovascular disease, and one in 10 had died, with deaths occurring at an average age of 53.5.
The authors suggested that a host of societal factors, including social exclusion, harassment and negative experiences in school and at work, could largely contribute to the patients’ health problems. The findings underscore the importance of better postoperative support and closer attention to factors like smoking and alcohol abuse.
i don't know how good of a source this person is overall.

Steven Pinker for one would heavily disagree, and I think for good reasons: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Blank_Slate

Intelligence is a matter of theoretical interpretation, you cannot test it because it has not been fully investigated in terms of brain functioning. There are models of it but the fact is, intelligence is a matter of perspective as neurological bases for it are still not found. Common sense: Is intelligence something with one universal definition? Nope, it's a murky concept. How can you investigate something that's abstract and has random parameters.
Give more examples.
It doesn't need to have "one universal definition." Like I said, there are different aspects of intelligence -- verbal, spatial, etc. and they can all be tested for in a consistent matter. As for a "neurological basis" -- I wonder why you are hanging out on a typology forum (or indeed care about psychology at all) if you think this. The state of neurology is still very primitive and we know plenty of things about human behavior that haven't been specifically tied to the brain.
You can read more here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sex_di...n_intelligence
Most of the research efforts root in misogyny. And as we know, motivations and aims of research shape it. Patriarchy thrives on emphasizing difference to maintain power. "Divite et impera". That's why men behaving like women are ridiculed ("gay"), being called a girl is the ultimate insult to masculinity because manhood was not socially obtained, and so on. Babies would never act like that. I hang out here because of exactly that, primitive neurology, advanced typology, there is not much to feed on. And why do I have to legitimize myself in the first place.
The article is about brain differences in newborns, of course they will test differently in the aspects once they are socialized into gender roles. Let babies take the test lmao (difficult hm).
CareerBuilder Releases New Study on Which Cities are Most Likely and Least Likely to Survive a Zombie Apocalypse
October 27, 2016 – If there was a zombie apocalypse, would your city prevail or be overrun by the walking dead? Just in time for Halloween, CareerBuilder is answering this question with a totally practical and 100 percent feasible study that gauges survival rates based on concentration of occupational skills and industries.
The research is comprised of a weighted index ranking the 53 largest U.S. metropolitan areas (with more than 1 million residents). A standard, flesh-eating virus transmitted via biting or contact with infected blood is assumed. The index is scored on eight different factors in four categories: ability to defend against the virus, ability to contain the virus, ability to find a cure and ability to outlast the epidemic with an ample food supply. The study is based on data from Emsi, CareerBuilder’s labor market analysis arm, which aggregates information from more than 100 national, state and local employment resources.
The index will come in handy considering that, in a separate and equally practical CareerBuilder study, 36 percent of workers said, if they were a zombie, they would feast on their co-workers.

noam chomsky in 2010:
"The United States is extremely lucky that no honest, charismatic figure has arisen. Every charismatic figure is such an obvious crook that he destroys himself, like McCarthy or Nixon or the evangelist preachers. If somebody comes along who is charismatic and honest this country is in real trouble because of the frustration, disillusionment, the justified anger and the absence of any coherent response. What are people supposed to think if someone says ‘I have got an answer, we have an enemy’? There it was the Jews. Here it will be the illegal immigrants and the blacks. We will be told that white males are a persecuted minority. We will be told we have to defend ourselves and the honor of the nation. Military force will be exalted. People will be beaten up. This could become an overwhelming force. And if it happens it will be more dangerous than Germany. The United States is the world power. Germany was powerful but had more powerful antagonists. I don’t think all this is very far away. If the polls are accurate it is not the Republicans but the right-wing Republicans, the crazed Republicans, who will sweep the next election.”

Nov. 14th 'Supermoon'
November's supermoon —a term used to describe a full moon is at its perigee, or closest point to Earth during the lunar orbit — will be the biggest and brightest supermoon to rise in almost 69 years. In fact, the full moon won't come this close to Earth again until Nov. 25, 2034.

@SongOfSapphire I thought about putting this in your thread about Trump but didn't wanna spam conversation, kinda relevant though. It describes what I see around me pretty well.
