last week's ever-so-slightly nippy weather brought us more than cooler temperatures and less humidity. I call it hope. When we can open windows and turn off the AC, even for just a few days, it's a sign that Florida's version of fall is on the way. • Hallelujah, sticky days are waning. • To me, even a dip into the mid ...

My second meaning for “expressive processing” is rather different — and itself has two elements. First, it encompasses the fact that the internal processes of digital media are designed artifacts, like buildings, transportation systems, or music players. As with other designed mechanisms, processes can be seen in terms...

In order for McKie’s gene-number argument to make even a little sense, it would have to be the case that specific behaviours, to the extent that they have a genetic component, are governed by single genes, or groups of specifically dedicated genes. If this were so, then the numb...

So storytelling that Gould maintains is endemic in sociobiological research. To be fair, the empirical content of Barash’s paper was slight, but his predictions were derived from theory and put to the test of the real world. This short report presented not a Just So story, but a preliminary investigation of a phenomen...

of living with a stepparent. Parents have an interest in their offspring’s welfare because they carry 50% of the genes of each parent, so it is in the interests of the genes of the parent to guide parents to care for their children: if the child does not survive to reproduce, its own, and the parents, genes will not b...

Changing an E-3 visa to dual citizenship with the United States is similar to entering college right after kindergarten; it's impossible if you skip the many steps and stages in between. An E-3 visa is a non-immigrant visa, therefore it in of itself cannot even lead to a green card, which is a necessity for obtaining U...
