2 tipos de EF e a BBFC!

https://www.newscientist.com/article/dn26772-female-ejaculation-comes-in-two-forms-scientists-find/

Citando:
"The ban on female ejaculation in UK porn is based on the fact that the British Board of Film Classification (BBFC) considers films which include material featuring “urolagnia” – sexual pleasure associated with urination – as obscene under the UK Obscene Publications Act."

Nova teoria sobre o orgasmo feminino

Pode ser um restício da evolução humana, por isso cara leitora, se não o consegue atingir pode considerar-se mais evoluída que as suas outras colegas. Será?
http://www.sciencemag.org/news/2016/08/new-theory-suggests-female-orgasms-are-evolutionary-leftover


Citando:
"There are more than a dozen theories about the evolution of orgasms, most proposed decades or more ago. They include arguments that women have orgasms because their reproductive machinery has the same origins as those of men, who need to have orgasms to ejaculate sperm. Others think orgasms are an evolutionary novelty that persists because it helps foster loyal partners. Some have proposed that female orgasms induce physiological changes that increase the chances of conception, but there’s no strong evidence that women who have more have increased fecundity. 
Orgasm itself may have no evolutionary function, but it is derived from a key part of the reproductive cycle, Pavlićev and her colleague propose today in the Journal of Experimental Zoology-Molecular and Developmental Evolution. "

Violence - Education (MIT)

Excelente artigo, com bons pontos de vista. Enquanto não tivermos pessoas capazes de educar  (professores e pais) as coisas vão continuar complicadas. O problema é que é preciso que elas existam e que passem umas gerações...

https://mitopencourseware.wordpress.com/2016/07/14/making-sense-of-violence/

Citando:
"Our hearts ache from the violence that has taken place this month. (...)
However, any understanding or solution begins with education. Education can profoundly change belief systems, shift perceptions, and reduce ignorance and hate.
With the hope of gaining knowledge to enact positive change, here are some resources that offer some understanding of underlying causes surrounding these horrific events, and perhaps ways we can better communicate and connect with each other for the better."

O artigo termina com uma série de disciplinas universitárias ("Understanding current events") que podem ajudar a compreender estes fenómenos que se estão a passar (alguns temas surpreenderam-me)

As origens da vida na terra (LUCA)

http://www.independent.co.uk/news/science/scientists-find-luca-a-single-cell-bacterium-like-organism-that-is-the-common-ancestor-of-all-life-a7157176.html


Citando:
"LUCA arrived about 3.8 billion years ago, and would eventually give rise to two different kinds of simple cells: bacteria and archaea. The realisation that it did so helps settle a big problem – the fact that the three domains of life, which include bacteria and archaea as well as the eukaryotes like plants and animals, didn’t seem to have a single point of origin.
It also allows scientists to explore the 355 genes that appear to have originated in Luca and understand what they share. The organism appears to have lived in vents deep in the sea, where metallic, gassy plumes erupt from seawater that interacts with magma that comes up from the ocean floor."

O Brexit e a Ciência

Os efeitos secundários do bluff de Cameron ainda agora começaram. A história vai mostrar estes senhores como heróis ou como falhados? I have a feeling:

Viagens conforme valor disponível

Conceito muito interessante (desenhado por Portugueses) em que começamos por dizer quanto dinheiro temos para gastar e o sítio nos mostra sugestões (por vezes de sítios que nunca imaginaríamos poder ir com aquele dinheiro - o que é algo de muito interessante).
A explorar:
