The War - Backstory and detail.

Homosapiens are now merely creatures of past time stories. Homonecos wiped out the older, weaker version of the human and now rule what?s left of destroyed earth. War has ripped the planet apart and damaged the souls of the ever powerful Homonecos. (Open)

Just been reminded how little I have thought about this RP and how lacking in depth it is. I was just wondering, what exactly happened in the war? I think we should all decide on the truth and details here so that I can put it on the front page. I do apologise!

"I was not really thinking about the war having sides exactly either, it was more Necos saying "The more people we kill the better, look at how strong we are!"

I guess there could have been "Clans" In the war, like 20 of them. All trying to kill as many of the other clans as possible, targeting the other clans due to them being a big group of people. That way there could have been spies in the clans, deserters and other such betrayals that could anger them.

I think Imma make a thread about the wars back story now."

Travel + Leisure: America's Most And Least Attractive Locals ...

Can simply traveling to a city make you better looking?

Liz Eckert would say so. On a recent visit to southern California, the Connecticut real estate agent was struck by the gorgeous scenery -- as in, the people. She chalked it up to the locals' regular access to sand, surf and sunshine.

"After one week there, I actually looked and felt healthier," she says. "My skin was glowing, my hair was shiny, and even my nails grew--and they never grow."

Given the area's seemingly magical powers of osmosis, it's no wonder that both San Diego and Los Angeles made it into the top five cities for America's best-looking people, according to Travel + Leisure readers. New results are in from the annual America's Favorite Cities survey, in which readers rate 35 metropolitan areas for qualities such as people-watching, walkable streets, and hot music scenes.

This year, the attractive locals category saw a fair amount of movement: The new No. 1 city is a past champ that had previously fallen from grace, and several cities have made impressive rebounds in the rankings or else seemingly let themselves go.

Notre Dame vs. Alabama: Star power, power football

NEW YORK (AP) ? On one side, a blossoming dynasty from the college football capital of the Deep South. On the other, the sport's most famous team, trying to reclaim its place among the elite.

Notre Dame and Alabama bring star power and power football to the BCS championship.

The matchup becomes official Sunday night when the full BCS lineup is announced on ESPN. There's still some mystery about whether Northern Illinois or Boise State could slip in as a BCS buster, but there's no drama about the main event: No. 1 Notre Dame against No. 2 Alabama in Miami on Jan. 7.

The Irish clinched their spot a week ago in Los Angeles by completing a perfect season against rival Southern California.

Alabama earned its spot Saturday, beating Georgia 32-28 in a thrilling Southeastern Conference title game.

The program that coach Paul Bryant turned into an SEC behemoth in the 1960s and 70s, winning six national championships during his tenure, is again dominating college football with a modern-day version of the Bear leading the way in Tuscaloosa, Ala.

Coach Nick Saban and the Crimson Tide are on the verge of one of the great runs in history. Alabama would become the first team to repeat as champions since the Bowl Championship Series was implemented in 1998, and the 11th team to win consecutive AP titles since the poll started in 1936.

The Tide also won the 2009 BCS championship. The last team to win three major national titles in four seasons was Nebraska, which went back-to-back in 1994 and '95 and finished No. 1 in the final coaches' poll in 1997.

In a spread-the-field, hurry-up offense world, the Tide is homage to traditional football.

The Tide put its no-frills muscle on display Saturday, mashing Georgia with 350 yards rushing, most impressively when Alabama trailed 21-10 in the second half and you might have expected the Tide to open up its passing game.

Eddie Lacy, listed at a conservative 220 pounds, went for 181 against the Bulldogs to up his season total to 1,182 with 17 touchdowns. T.J. Yeldon, at 216 pounds, provides more speed with his punch. The freshman has run for 1,000 yards and scored 12 touchdowns.

But this is no 3 yards and a cloud of dust. Both backs average over 6 yards per carry, behind an offensive line anchored by All-American center Barrett Jones. And quarterback AJ McCarron has thrown 26 touchdowns with only three interceptions.

The Tide has been more potent offensively this season than last to make up for a defense that has slipped, but only a bit. Alabama leads the nation in total defense (246 yards per game) and is second in points allowed (10.7 per game). Linebackers Adrian Hubbard, Nico Johnson, CJ Mosley and Trey Depriest average 242 pounds.

When Brian Kelly was hired at Notre Dame three years ago, he looked at Alabama and the SEC, which has won six straight BCS titles, and decided the Irish needed to play like that.

Kelly built his reputation and winning teams at previous stops on fast-paced spread offenses. In South Bend, Ind., he has put the fight back in the Irish, who have won eight AP national titles ? only Alabama has as many ? but none since 1988.

Notre Dame has allowed the fewest touchdowns in the country (10) and is sixth overall in total defense (286 yards per game). The face of the Irish isn't a strong-armed quarterback or speedy ball carrier. It's middle linebacker Manti Te'o, a 255-pound offense wrecker with a nose for the ball. The senior has seven interceptions and is a likely Heisman finalist.

Te'o, along with 300-pound linemen Stephon Tuitt and Louis Nix, have formed a red-zone wall for the Irish. Late goal line stands highlighted victories against Stanford and USC.

While nurturing redshirt freshman Everett Golson, Kelly has leaned on Notre Dame's running game, which averages 202 yards. Alabama averages 224 on the ground.

If Notre Dame, making its first appearance in a BCS championship, is going to break the SEC's strangle hold on the crystal ball trophy, the Irish will try to beat 'Bama at its own game.

And Kelly will try to uphold a Notre Dame tradition, by winning a national title in his third season as coach. Frank Leahy, Ara Parseghian, Dan Devine and Lou Holtz all won it all in Year 3 playing in the shadows of the Golden Dome.

Notre Dame will try to become the first team since BYU in 1984 to start the season unranked a win a national title.

Expect plenty to be watching. With the popularity of both programs, the second-to-last BCS title games is expected to be the highest rated ever.

In two years, college football switches to a four-team playoff to determine its champion. No doubt fans of Florida (11-1), Oregon (11-1), Stanford (11-2) and Kansas State (11-1) wish they could push the start date up on that, but for the most part there isn't much griping about this championship matchup.

Notre Dame is the only undefeated team that is eligible ? thanks to Ohio State's NCAA sanctions ? and Alabama is the champion of the league that has produced the last half dozen national champs.

Roll Tide or return to glory? To be determined in south Florida.

Native Americans and Northern Europeans more closely related than previously thought

ScienceDaily (Nov. 30, 2012) ? Using genetic analyses, scientists have discovered that Northern European populations -- including British, Scandinavians, French, and some Eastern Europeans -- descend from a mixture of two very different ancestral populations, and one of these populations is related to Native Americans. This discovery helps fill gaps in scientific understanding of both Native American and Northern European ancestry, while providing an explanation for some genetic similarities among what would otherwise seem to be very divergent groups.

This research was published in the November 2012 issue of the Genetics Society of America's journal Genetics.

According to Nick Patterson, first author of the report, "There is a genetic link between the paleolithic population of Europe and modern Native Americans. The evidence is that the population that crossed the Bering Strait from Siberia into the Americas more than 15,000 years ago was likely related to the ancient population of Europe."

To make this discovery, Patterson worked with Harvard Medical School Professor of Genetics David Reich and other colleagues to study DNA diversity, and found that one of these ancestral populations was the first farming population of Europe, whose DNA lives on today in relatively unmixed form in Sardinians and the people of the Basque Country, and in at least the Druze population in the Middle East. The other ancestral population is likely to have been the initial hunter-gathering population of Europe. These two populations were very different when they met. Today the hunter-gathering ancestral population of Europe appears to have its closest affinity to people in far Northeastern Siberia and Native Americans.

The statistical tools for analyzing population mixture were developed by Patterson and presented in a systematic way in the report. These tools are the same ones used in previous discoveries showing that Indian populations are admixed between two highly diverged ancestral populations and showing that Neanderthals contributed one to four percent of the ancestry of present-day Europeans. In addition, the paper releases a major new dataset that characterizes genetic diversity in 934 samples from 53 diverse worldwide populations.

"The human genome holds numerous secrets. Not only does it unlock important clues to cure human disease, it also reveal clues to our prehistoric past," said Mark Johnston, Editor-in-Chief of the journal GENETICS. "This relationship between humans separated by the Atlantic Ocean reveals surprising features of the migration patterns of our ancestors, and reinforces the truth that all humans are closely related."

Educational Psychology for Organic Chemistry | Backlinkarticles

Even though courses in such subjects are difficult, there is one basic popular denominator amongst them ? mathematics. Vibrant students fair nicely mainly because they?ve been mastering the language of mathematics because initially grade.

Organic Chemistry is completely different. It calls for the mastering of an ?alien? language, which I normally compare to Russian, along with rapidly-paced deductive reasoning in that language. Visualize taking Russian for the very first time, studying for an exam, and understanding in class that the midterm is a test of deductive reasoning requiring thought in Russian. Sounds like it would in no way happen, yes? Properly, this is Natural Chemistry.

This program of logic based in visual-spatial learning with the intent of such finding out to be applications to unknown complications requiring quickly-paced deductive reasoning is taken by over 1 million students in the United States each year. It really is not atypical for a class average grade to hover between 30-50%. Particularly vivid students enroll in this course, and most of them obtain an common grade of 38%. This is an immense shock to students accustomed to scoring at the higher end of just about every other class they?ve taken.

Portion of the trouble is time management expertise never ever acquiring been developed, resulting in what I refer to as the ?Drama of the Alarms.? This is the series of ?emergencies? that arise when the first 3 weeks of the quarter/semester are spent ?coasting?. When the initial midterm arises, the student becomes critical and focuses exclusively upon the first midterm, ignoring every thing else. Just ahead of the 1st midterm, a further ?alarm? goes off, and the student realizes there is one more impending exam. As soon as exam a single is out of the way, the student ?crams? for exam two. Just ahead of exam two, the student ?learns? (the syllabus under no circumstances produced it to the calendar) of one other impending exam, takes exam two, and then crams for exam 3.

As soon as the vicious cycle of the Drama of the Alarms is in movement, it is like a runaway freight train having acquired far as well a lot momentum to cease. The drama continues until the end of the term, and fees the student one or additional A-grades. Rather of learning time management expertise, the student repeats the exact same pattern of behavior more than and again till graduation.

Key etiology of the ?concern? in Organic Chemistry particularly is the comfy habit of memorization put to use successfully to plan for examinations in practically each and every other topic. This method fails in Organic Chemistry. A different factor is the deceptively straightforward nature of Organic Chemistry wherein one may well search by notes, convince himself he knows the material only to understand days ahead of a midterm that he?s unable to function any of the problems effectively. The primary challenge is mastering, and becoming expected to promptly rationalize in, this extremely rigorous scientific visual-spatial language. There are no other university level courses like it, and Natural Chemistry routinely becomes a life-altering occasion.

The top teachers of Natural Chemistry are willing to do just about anything to get students to learn the topic. On one section of the blackboard, they create every thing needed for student mastery of program objectives. They indicate memorization will be their demise, and that the only successful strategy is to create abilities in vital analysis and deductive reasoning, the really abilities needed to excel in the MCAT. Exceptional teachers also take the time with each chapter of the textbook to apply principles discovered to real-life issues of interest to the students. Ultimately, these astounding Natural Chemistry teachers make themselves attainable for overview sessions either ahead of a midterm or even on a weekly basis.

As teachers of Natural Chemistry, we can?t adjust the nature of the program and nevertheless maintain its integrity. This will never come about ? it really is a option. We can, on the other hand, seek the tips of educational psychologists to find out how to get students to want to depart from the comfy habit of memorization toward that of deductive reasoning, figuring out the latter is what is expected on the MCAT. We can tell the students they have the decision of finding out MCAT abilities now with plenty of time to hone them, or they can get a C-grade in the program and hope that mastering MCAT abilities later could get them into some medical school.

Scare techniques are undesirable, having said that sadly they seem to operate greater than any strategy of good reinforcement. There are quite a few articles offered on how to succeed in Organic Chemistry. Some are read while most are not. What tiny is read is hardly ever rendered to practice. Finally, nearly endless sources are readily available to promote student accomplishment in Natural Chemistry, nonetheless most are seldom utilized.

Educational psychology is a science, and this teacher of Organic Chemistry is attractive to educational psychologists for a viral approach on how to effect permanent transform in the outcome of undergraduate Natural Chemistry. Such alter will necessitate addressing important time-management difficulties. Also expected will be introducing worth to students so they choose to do what is harder (deductive reasoning) vs. what is comfortable (memorization). Indicating such skills will become immensely beneficial on the MCAT appears like a logical approach, nevertheless the adversary right here is the tendency toward procrastination. How a lot of of us wait until April 10th to do our taxes?

This article is open ended. I am looking for the input of western educational psychologists, and am open to any recommendations that will empower students to pursue the research of Organic Chemistry with the intent of mastery rather than just obtaining a passing grade. The time for bringing educational psychology into the university classroom with regards to this topic is long overdue.

Egyptians protest after draft constitution raced through

CAIRO (Reuters) - Thousands of Egyptians protested against President Mohamed Mursi on Friday after an Islamist-led assembly raced through approval of a new constitution in a bid to end a crisis over the Islamist leader's newly expanded powers.

"The people want to bring down the regime," they chanted in Tahrir Square, echoing the chants that rang out in the same place less than two years ago and brought down Hosni Mubarak.

Mursi said the decree halting court challenges to his decisions, which sparked eight days of protests and violence by Egyptians calling him a new dictator, was "for an exceptional stage" and aimed to speed up the democratic transition.

"It will end as soon as the people vote on a constitution," he told state television while the constituent assembly was still voting on the draft, which the Islamists say reflects Egypt's new freedoms. "There is no place for dictatorship."

The opposition cried foul. Liberals, leftists, Christians, more moderate Muslims and others had withdrawn from the assembly, saying their voices were not being heard.

Thousands took to the streets in Cairo and other places, such as Alexandria and cities on the Suez Canal and in the Nile Delta, responding to opposition calls for a big turnout.

It did not match the tens of thousands who demonstrated on Tuesday but rallies tend to gather pace later in the day.

Protesters said they would push for a 'no' vote in a referendum, which could happen as early as mid-December. If approved, it would immediately cancel the president's decree.

"We fundamentally reject the referendum and constituent assembly because the assembly does not represent all sections of society," said Sayed el-Erian, 43, a protester in Tahrir and member of a party set up by opposition figure Mohamed ElBaradei.

"Leave, leave," some chanted, another anti-Mubarak slogan.

In the Cairo mosque where Mursi said Friday prayers, some opponents chanted against him but backers quickly surrounded him shouting in support, journalists and a security source said.

EXHAUSTION

The plebiscite on the constitution is a gamble based on the Islamists' belief they can mobilize voters again after winning all the elections since Mubarak was overthrown in February 2011.

Mursi will be able to guarantee the backing of his well-organized Brotherhood and Islamist allies, as well as many Egyptians who are simply exhausted by the turmoil.

"He just wants us to move on and not waste time in conflicts," said 33-year-old Cairo shopowner Abdel Nasser Marie. "Give the man a chance and Egypt a break," he said.

However, Mursi needs the cooperation of judges to oversee the vote, though many were angered by Mursi's decree that they said undermined the judiciary. Some judges have gone on strike.

The assembly concluded the vote after a 19-hour session, quicker than many expected, approving all 234 articles covering presidential powers, the status of Islam, the military's role and rights of citizens.

In one historic change, the president was limited to eight years in office after Mubarak served for 30 years. It introduced a degree of civilian oversight over the military - though not enough for critics.

An Egyptian official said Mursi was expected to approve the document on Saturday and then has 15 days to hold a referendum.

"This is a revolutionary constitution," said Hossam el-Gheriyani, head of the assembly in a live broadcast of the session, asking members to launch a cross-country campaign to "explain to our nation its constitution".

The vote was often interrupted by bickering between the mostly Islamist members and Gheriyani over the articles. Several articles were amended on the spot before they were voted on and the assembly worked till early morning to finish the job.

Critics argue it is an attempt to rush through a draft they say has been hijacked by the Muslim Brotherhood, which backed Mursi for president in a June election, and its Islamist allies.

Two people have been killed and hundreds injured in protests since the decree was announced on November 22, deepening the divide between the newly empowered Islamists and their critics.

PLACATING OPPONENTS

Setting the stage for more tension, the Muslim Brotherhood and its Islamist allies have called for pro-Mursi rallies on Saturday. But officials from the Brotherhood's party changed the venue and said they would avoid Tahrir Square.

Seeking to placate opponents, Mursi welcomed criticism but said there was no place for violence. "I am very happy that Egypt has real political opposition," he told state television.

He said Egypt needed to attract investors and tourists. The crisis threatens to derail a fragile economic recovery after two years of turmoil. Egypt is waiting for the International Monetary Fund to finalize a $4.8 billion loan to help it out.

An alliance of opposition groups pledged to keep up protests and said broader civil disobedience was possible to fight what it described as an attempt to "kidnap Egypt from its people".

Several independent newspapers said they would not publish on Tuesday in protest. One of the papers also said three private satellite channels would halt broadcasts on Wednesday.

The draft injects new Islamic references into Egypt's system of government but keeps in place an article defining "the principles of sharia" as the main source of legislation - the same phrase found in the previous constitution.

The president can declare war with parliament's approval, but only after consulting a national defense council with a heavy military and security membership. That was not in the old constitution, used when Egypt was ruled by ex-military men.

Activists highlighted other flaws such as worrying articles pertaining to the rights of women and freedom of speech.

A new parliamentary election cannot happen until the constitution is passed. Egypt has been without an elected legislature since the Islamist-dominated lower house was dissolved in June, based on a court order.

"The secular forces and the church and the judges are not happy with the constitution; the journalists are not happy, so I think this will increase tensions in the country," said Mustapha Kamal Al-Sayyid, a Cairo University political science professor.
