I am very surprised this is not all over the internet.
It seems that humans have already been cloned. Or more precisely, human cloned embryos have been implanted into 4 women and scientists are waiting for the result. In a middle east country, where cloning is permited. OF COURSE. Noone can oppose progress.

Politics is such a weird thing... For example, I was reading about the Iranian president and his claim that his country will not be attacked during a military ceremony. This was because of the rumors that Iran will try to built a nuclear bomb and that Israel is going to attack. Well, all those rumors have been refuted.
Still, the unease about Iran ( Read more... )

Since this is the warmest winter I can remember I was wondering yesterday if there is anyone seriously concerned about the environment.
It seems that the Japanese for one are not particularly stressed. But they have their reasons.
The pace of global warming appears to be slowing and the slowdown is attributed to the La Nina phenomenon, which lowers ( Read more... )

This is a draft that I used for my presentation for the Child and Adolescent development class. Lol, the professor always seems to like my presentations no matter how incomplete they are. Anyway. Because I had said that I would post a few essays. It's about nuclear family, compared with extended family and some thoughts about the issue.

Last Christmas by Exile has leaked and I find it excellent! I like the way it sounds in Japanese! (Just the beggining is too cheezy.)

One more month and I am over with university... *holding my breath*

Yesterday the Ambassador of Japan came to talk to us and I was very excited. He was the first one who talked to us directly about the current economic crisis. He began by explaining how Japan has faced similar economic crisis in the past and how it dealt with the situation. ( Read more... )

I saw a rather unique protest in Athens yesterday and I wouldn't like to let it pass as just another protest in Athens. 
It was organized by the Athens Christian Coptic Parish and it was incited by the violence against Coptic monks in Egypt. There is a considerable number of Greek-egyptians in Greece, so I assume that it was them protesting. One of ( Read more... )

Second entry for today! I was just listening at the radio about a new research examining the effect of money on happiness. It could be the sequel of one of my previous entries and it has nothing to do with what Tat-chan had said back in 2006, that he values money most of all. :p
It seems that yes, money can bring happiness. Of course, I say. Money ( Read more... )

I know that I shouldn't laugh with matters of national importance, but when a random advertiser of an art exhibition transforms the Greek flag into what you see below, I can't help thinking that we had it coming! 
We think that how Skopjie will be called is of universal importance. This is not propaganda against Greece! This is the mere truth seen ( Read more... )

This is the title of the speech Barack Obama gave a few days ago and we watched it today in my Civil Rights Movement class. On YouTube! It felt like science fiction! Anyway, it was a beautiful speech and there was a heated discussion afterwards which I would like to convey here.

First of all, it was a political discourse that we rarely see in ( Read more... )
