For the rest of you, here are a couple of videos, including one by Situationist Contributor Philip Zimbardo, summarizing the study. * * * (Source: The Situationist) The Situationist blogs http://www.medworm.com/rss/comments.php?id=2561306 Wed, 01 Jul 2009 04:01:18 +0100 2561306 http://www.medworm.com/index.php?rid=2458077&cid=t_153904_87_f&fid=34595&url=http%3A%2F%2Fnhsblogdoc.blogspot.com%2F2009%2F06%2Fcondom-catastrophe.html Oh! God, who thought up this one?BOYS as young as 12 are to be issued with condom “credit cards” allowing them to pick up free contraception at football grounds, barber’s shops and scout huts.Don’t get me wrong. I am strongly in favour of providing any young person of any age with free contraception. But why do we not just give them the condoms? Why must they first have a “condom credit card”? Probably because, in the finest New Labour tradition, the card will have a magnetic strip on the back so that details of who each condom was issued to, and when, and where, can to be sent Andy Burnham.It gets worseThey will be able to collect the condoms by showing a plastic card issued to them after they have attended a safe-sex lesson, according to new government guidance.So any young t...

When we asked ourselves what characterizes us as human we used to answer with self-assurance,” it’s the language, stupid”. But now we know that language was not an abrupt development that happened after we diverged from the chimpanzees 4 million years ago. The chimps have the capacity to communicate with symbols such as pictures, colors and letters. But they can’t vocalize. For this they would need to undergo the anatomical descent of the voice box, or vocal cords, which we humans were lucky enough to have. Well chimps, maybe in a few millions years you may get lucky…What about patience?I am using &ldq...

I worked full time and farmed my daughter out to the only, and most expensive child care centre in the city. Whilst she slept at night, I burned the midnight oil to gain further qualifications, to brighten our future prospects. With hindsight I should have burned the paper qualifications on the flame, but the young are fortunately short sighted. We would run through a check list in the morning of all the many things that we had to remember. Sometimes an important item failed to achieve ‘list status’ and was over looked. Later in the day when I received a phone call from the school or a note home, I would have to admit my error. It was a harsh lesson for both of us. If my employer had been more understanding, if public transport had been ... Whitterer on Autism blogs http://www.medworm.com/rss/comments.php?id=980578 Thu, 25 Oct 2007 18:56:00 +0100 980578
