Nebraska Posted December 4, 2023 Share Posted December 4, 2023 Quote The Damascus goat, also known as Aleppo, Halep, Baladi, Damascene, Shami, or Chami, is a breed of goat. It originated in Middle East countries such as Syria and was imported by Antoniades family and then by the British into Cyprus, where its qualities were improved by breeding. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Damascus_goat https://www.newsweek.com/viral-damascus-goat-monster-real-goat-you-should-see-him-baby-form-855710 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ManjuShri Posted December 30, 2023 Share Posted December 30, 2023 Sniffing women's tears reduces aggressive behavior in men Exposure to tears led to less revenge-seeking behavior and lower aggression-related brain activity https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2023/12/231221162243.htm Quote The researchers exposed a group of men to either women's emotional tears or saline while they played a two-person game. The game was designed to elicit aggressive behavior against the other player, whom the men were led to believe was cheating. When given the opportunity, the men could get revenge on the other player by causing them lose money. The men did not know what they were sniffing and could not distinguish between the tears or the saline, which were both odorless. Revenge-seeking aggressive behavior during the game dropped more than 40% after the men sniffed women's emotional tears. When repeated in an MRI scanner, functional imaging showed two aggression-related brain regions -- the prefrontal cortex and anterior insula -- that became more active when the men were provoked during the game, but did not become as active in the same situations when the men were sniffing the tears. Individually, the greater the difference in this brain activity, the less often the player took revenge during the game. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ManjuShri Posted February 6 Share Posted February 6 5% of the first Herculaneum scroll is now readable. https://scrollprize.org/grandprize Quote The general subject of the text is pleasure, which, properly understood, is the highest good in Epicurean philosophy. In these two snippets from two consecutive columns of the scroll, the author is concerned with whether and how the availability of goods, such as food, can affect the pleasure which they provide. Do things that are available in lesser quantities afford more pleasure than those available in abundance? Our author thinks not: “as too in the case of food, we do not right away believe things that are scarce to be absolutely more pleasant than those which are abundant.” However, is it easier for us naturally to do without things that are plentiful? “Such questions will be considered frequently.” Since this is the end of a scroll, this phrasing may suggest that more is coming in subsequent books of the same work. At the beginning of the first text, a certain Xenophantos is mentioned, perhaps the same man — presumably a musician — also mentioned by Philodemus in his work On Music. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
