How much is love a biochemical reaction to ensure our genes get passed on
There are very good arguments in favor of this theory (see: bit.ly/ChemicalLuv for a fun discussion), but lalalalalalala I’m an old romantic at ❤️ and I’m not listening! You can’t tell me my feelings for The Lobby Door all boil down to dopamine or vasopressin.
I would think that marketing, management, and entreprenuership would lend themselves most clearly to being creative, but even in an area you wouldn’t normally think was a hot-bed of creativity (maybe accounting?) there will be ways to be creative with how the work gets done.
In this poem, Yuan Mei evokes the heroic spirit of past dynasties and their tenuous tie to the present, especially with the ending lines about Emperor Gaozu of the Han Dynasty almost 2,000 years before: “Only now there is still a clear moon,/ It once illuminated the passing of King Gao/ and his thousands of horses.”
my girl swiftys got a new boyfriend she’s got me gooling what’s a tight end ooh what did he score a basketuh what did he shoot or pass it I just love travis kelce btw I don’t like taylor swift
I must note that this catchy parody of Taylor Swift owes about 70% of its appeal to the musicial talents of the target of the parody. In this way, parody is a form of tribute, even as it pokes fun.
Sorry about my brother, ignore his Post-it’s –>
Thanks! It sounds like he felt he had to put his emotions somewhere, and I can cope; even with negative feelings about TS…
Hi wall, There seems to be a connection between the word ‘right’ (not left) and ‘rights’ (law) in many languages. In English, but also Spanish (derecho/derecha), French (droit), and Dutch rechts). Why is this?
It might not seem like it, but to a linguist or etymologist, right, recht, derecho, and droit are all the same word, or at least all related to the same root, Latin “dīrēctum” which according to one of my favorite books, the Oxford English Dictionary, meant: “straightened, straight, right, direct n.; as noun, a straight or right line; in late Latin right, legal right, law”, from the root rego/regere, to guide, govern, from the Proto-Indo-European word hrege, to stretch or direct. A cognate in old Persian, rastaa, meant straight, right, or true. IOW, the associations are very old! And because etymology is an inexact science, it will likely remain a little mysterious.
Just because 🙂 You must be an overthinker huh?
Another word for “overthinker” is curious, a demeanor we try to encourage in education.
What are the best classes to fulfill the History I and II req with? (also no joke, I learned extensively abt the Cold war in 3 different high school history classes, and lwk don’t want to study it again…)
Maybe try something non-modern (Roman History) or non-Western (African Diaspora & The World). I’ve also heard good things about the new core fusion classes like Geographies of Empire and Making The Modern World.
I didn’t do so well on my midterm and now I think I’m gonna fail the class and not be able to graduate. What can I do if I fail? Can I still graduate in May?
Talk to your academic advisor and your professor right away. See what your options are to bring your grade up, and whether your graduation in May is really in jeopardy. I also recommend getting peer tutoring at the Connors Family Learning Center bit.ly/BC-connors. And if your fears are realized, this is not the end of the world. I know many folks who have failed a class or not graduated on time who have gone on to do great things… and be great people.
It’s very difficult to find famous influential, and widely cited books on psychedelic drugs in the BC libraries. Are these discreetly “banned”?
Libraries like ours don’t do book bans except at gunpoint. Like most academic libraries what we buy is shaped primarily by what’s in the curriculum and what faculty are doing research on, and where there are gaps in the collection that’s usually the reason. 1) You always have the option of requesting an interlibrary loan for things we don’t have. Usually takes about a week, and if another library can loan it, we’ll get it for you. 2) We’re happy to take suggestions on books to add.
