The research shows that when the game plays out, a “good” male will participate longer than a “bad” male, allowing the female to weed out a suitable mate: the longer they hang around, the more likely it is that the male will be “good”. [...] What this research provides is a possible explanation for the evolution of lengthy courtships in many species, including humans.
According to Summerfield, half the population in Gaza have "basically spent some time in [Israeli] detention, some of them for years." The proportion of the Gazan adult male population interrogated and tortured, he adds, is probably higher than any population in the world.

ولن تقبل أبداً أي وجود أجنبي لمراقبين على أرضها وذلك، خط أحمر لن أسمح بتجاوزه
What this is really about is international law. It's about accountability. It's about justice – something the Palestinians have never received – and it's about bringing criminals to trial. Arab war criminals, Israeli war criminals – the whole lot. And don't say it cannot be done. Wasn't that the message behind the Yugoslav tribunal? Didn't some of the murderers get their just deserts? Just leave the Second World War out of it.
Despite pictures from Gaza depicting massive destruction and a large number of wounded and killed, including women and children, 82 percent of the public believe that Israel has not "gone too far" with the military force it is exercising against Hamas.

Travelling into Palestine's West Bank and Gaza Strip, which I visited recently, is like a surreal trip back into an apartheid state of emergency.
It says they were released today. I am learning new stuff here. Now I wonder if they will retaliate by chanting against the police?

He should have educated his own people on the reality of the conflict before kicking his eggcellency out. Chavez calling this a "gesture of dignity" makes me think he is a reincarnation of Nasser.
In 1944, Allies evicted 25,000 Croatians to Sinai in tents for 18 months to save them from starvation.
Holmes's idea is that playing Tetris after a shocking event would take up the same mental resources that would normally be used to consolidate future flashbacks. In doing so, the notoriously addictive game could act as a "cognitive vaccine" against PTSD and provide an ironic example of a video game actually being good for you...
