WRONG
People may look away, but that is because they are thinking "That steamship deserves some privacy while it humps the Great Pyramid "... they have still noticed.Also they are thinking "It is a foul Cunard".
The simplest and most informative linguistic messages are the kind found in ordinary true narratives. Such valid messages ― laden with pragmatic information ― provide the limiting antithesis of biosemiotic entropy. Generalizing from linguistic to biological systems, and taking account of some of the countless ways any complex arrangement of symbols can be rendered senseless, the thesis to be explored in this special issue is that the corruption of biological messages from genetics upward to epigenetics, proteins, cells, tissues, and the organs of viable organisms ― which can be described as biosemiotic entropy ― is, unsurprisingly, the proximate cause of disorders, diseases, and mortality. We invite contributions ― pro, con, or offering any plausible alternative ― to the idea that corrupted biological messages account for (but, of course, are not limited to) anaphylaxis, preeclampsia, sudden death syndrome, immune disorders, autism, and so forth. Empirical and theoretical articles are invited exploring pathways by which toxins, disease agents, and their interactions, and/or injuries from microwave, electromagnetic, radiological, or other energy sources can be shown to increase biosemiotic entropy. Empirically grounded arguments showing how cascading series of effects lead to certain injuries, diseases, and/or known disorders are preferred.
Prime Minister John Key has likened New Zealand's "100% Pure" brand to a marketing campaign by hamburger giant McDonald's - and says no-one expects it to be 100 per cent true.This is the "100% Pure" slogan that the Government slips into every environment statement it ever makes and in general statements whenever it can.
"It's like saying ‘McDonald's, I'm loving it' - I'm not sure every moment that someone's eating McDonald's they're loving it . . . it's the same thing with 100% Pure. It's got to be taken with a bit of a pinch of salt."
Mr Unsworth's email - which was sent at 12:15am under the subject line 'Ego trip' - was posted by Green Party co-leader Russel Norman on his Facebook page today."Comfy University lounges" fascinates and appeals to me and I have tried to subscribe to Unsworth's newsletter but there appears to be no recognisable address.
In the emails, Mr Unsworth said although he was an academic, Dr Joy had "let his ego run riot worldwide" while risking jobs and incomes from decreased tourism.
"You guys are the Foot and Mouth Disease of the tourism industry. Most ordinary people in NZ would happily have you lot locked up," he wrote.
"You may not care given your tenure in a nice comfy University lounge, but to others this affects income and jobs.
Mark Unsworth gets our nomination for quotes of the week. Something to make Manawatu farmers smileIf any of it were anything more than arguments about a marketing campaign it might be of some importance but it's just the environment.
The cuttlefish does not have sedentary habits; it remains in constant motion, except as a defense, it can and will remain completely motionless. It swims forward slowly, but has the ability for very rapid backward motion. Likewise, the Sepia person is not sedentary. He/she likes to move and is better from exercising. As for the cuttlefish's ability to move backward rapidly, Sepia people are known to be unsocial and averse to company. These people will rapidly retreat from people or circumstances that want or demand something of them. They seek to escape from close emotional ties and the various obligations that accompany them.For many decades the field of photography was dominated by Sepia people. When feeling threatened, Sepia individuals have the ability to conceal themselves behind a cloud of ink while they make their escape. Thus they are over-represented in the legal profession.
[...]The cuttlefish's body is slightly flat with a supple fin. Similarly, the Sepia woman has a tendency to have masculine features, including flat-chestedness, and with their supple legs, they love to exercise, especially dancing and aerobics.
Cactus is derived from night-blooming cereus, thus people who need homeopathic Cactus have symptoms that are aggravated in the night. [...]Keats was having none of this. "'Thirst for small quantities'?" he exclaimed. "You can't be Cereus!"
People who need Cactus are known to have a thirst (1), during the heat (1), after the heat (1), for small quantities (1), and for small quantities often (1).
