The wave
How brain cells persuade other cells to do ‘the wave’ November 19, 2014 [image: Stadium crowd performing "the wave" at the Confederations Cup 2005 in Frankfurt (credit: Wikimedia Commons)] Neuroscientists have discovered mechanisms that enable certain brain cells to persuade others to create “the wave” (a wave of standing spectators that travels through a crowd*), which may help understand more about neurocognitive disorders such as dementia, the researchers say. Inhibitory neurons** can persuade networks of other neurons to imitate their vibrations, setting off global synchronous … ... mais »
Quasars large-scale structure
alignment of quasar across billions of light-years with large-scale structure This very detailed simulation of large scale structure was created as part of the Illustris simulation.

The region shown is about 300 million light-years across.

The Language Instinct
(From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia) The Language Instinct: The new science of language and mind. The Folio Society, 2008, London. *The Language Instinct* is a 1994 book *by Steven Pinker*, written for a general audience. Pinker argues that humans are born with an innate capacity for language. He deals sympathetically with Noam Chomsky's claim that all human language shows evidence of a universal grammar, but dissents from Chomsky's skepticism that evolutionary theory can explain the human language instinct./.../ *(Paragraph, page 2)* *"Language is so tightly woven into human exp... mais »

Capitalism
*This Week * Capitalism Unchained This is not a photograph of a cotton planter and his slaves. It's from 1908, almost a half-century after the Emancipation Proclamation. Many things had changed in that time, of course. But it *looks* like a picture of slavery because many of the features of the plantation - total inequality across a racial divide, deep poverty, and very hard work under very close watch - outlasted slavery itself, under the name of new American *capitalism*. This is only to say that slavery has a way of slipping out of the neat time-and-place t... mais »
Slavery
36 Million Slaves Worldwide Slavery may seem like a relic of the past, but in fact 0.5 percent of the world's population—36 million people—are currently enslaved. The survey, by anti-slavery group Walk Free, identifies as slaves those subjected to forced labor, debt bondage, trafficking, sexual exploitation for money, and forced or servile marriage. India hosts the greatest number of slaves of any country, with 14 million, followed by China, Pakistan, Uzbekistan, and then Russia. Mauritania, meanwhile, has the ignominious distinction of having the highest percentage of slaves, at 4 p... mais »
