*UK: Why do so few men take gender studies courses?* *Because they are useless crap?* It's a good job no one starts a postgraduate degree in gender studies to meet men: my MPhil class at Cambridge contains precisely zero of them. Apparently, this is anomalous, according to course director Dr Andy Tucker. In the three previous years there have been a quarter to a third men: a better turnout than on many gender programmes. Yet at the LSE this year, it's not much better: out of 85 students on gender studies master's courses, eight are men. Last year it was five out of 89 students... more »

Kind of hard to dismiss ALL of the polling.

The Universal Ascension Process - Our Journey to Oneness
A key thought that i wish to share is that evolution and ascension are both derived as is GOD from the natural six operator logic of the physical universe.

Gulf of Mexico Dead Zone Demonstrates Dangers of Industrial Agriculture and Factory Farming

This can be converted to biochar. Corn is a superb source and surely hemp grown for seed. The biochar added to the soil wonderfully sequesters the nitrogen.
