Norway reveals Roman-era stone tablet providing clues to origins of Western writing – UPI.com

Norway is set to unveil an ancient rune stone found in the east of the country dating back as much as 2,000 years that is providing the missing pieces to the puzzle of the origins of writing in northern Europe.

Researchers from the University of Oslo’s Museum of Cultural History found the block of sandstone on an Iron Age grave site dig near Tyrifjorden, northwest of Oslo, in late 2021. They now believe it is the world’s oldest rune stone and that the characters on the stone are one of the earliest examples of writing in Scandinavia because radiocarbon dating shows the grave dates back to 1-250 CE.

Violência Contra a Mulher

Se você não tiver cuido com o poder de persuasão do outro, você deixa que ele te convença do contrário.
Hoje, um colega questionou-me sobre o dados da VIOLÊNCIA CONTRA AMULHER. Disse inclusive, que nem sempre essas fontes ligadas ao tema, expressam a verdade. Tudo bem! Admite-se que há muitos homens que não sabem VALORIZAR a mulher, e que ao invés de procurarem promover um debate sadio, eles tentam distorcer a verdade com outras maneiras de tirar o foco da notícia. É claro que essas fontes trabalham com dados. Todavia, esses dados nem sempre correspondem a situação real, até porque a violência silenciada é maior do que aquela que vira estatística. Na verdade, ele como homem, entenda “não estou generalizando a situação” não admite que a mulher possa de fato, viver e “pagar” esse preço de ser refém de uma situação de impunidade que a gente…

What eyesore, abandoned sites can teach us

Abandoned sites and places that are not aesthetically pleasing can teach us a more sophisticated way of looking at the natural environment, not in terms of the picturesque, or even the care of which it has been tended, but with an eye upon ecological virility.

Seen in this way sites go from being eyesores and worthless to being deeply ecologically significant – their ugliness and worthlessness might very well be the quality that has kept them abandoned and saved them from overenthusiastic ‘management’ and therefore destruction.
