Professor Longshadow smoothed out the ends of his mustache. The nubile on row three, seat four asked a question he could not understand.

"Could you repeat that, please Miss?" Professor Longshadow squinted at her.

"My name is Miss Pembroke. What I am saying is Alaskans chill out; we in Chicago spazz out!"

"Do you feel lacking in some way in your urban life, Miss Pembroke?"

"... Such an institution of coercion, centralizing immorality, directing theft and murder, and coordinating oppression on a scale inconceivable by random criminality exists ..." was what Professor Longshadow had just said in his lecture.

"What is this really about?" asked the Professor.

"Winter; that's what I am talking about," said Miss Pembroke. "I need a philosophy of Winter."

"But I am lecturing about philosophic models of the Free Market," said Professor.

"Well, that is maybe good for you, but all you are saying is what other philosophers say about each other," explained Miss Pembroke. "I need 21st Century material."

The lecture hall began to hum with under breath mutterings of the other students. It is common fact that Professor Longshadow had been putting students to sleep for many years. Miss Pembroke's interruption awakened many of the sullen tide of undergrads.

"I'm fed up with Philosopher number two talking smack about Philosopher number three," said Miss Pembroke.

All she got was the "Longshadow thousand mile stare."


TO BE CONTINUED... 

UPDATE:

"...The venerable lecture has few allies today. While many in the humanities have long preferred seminar-style instruction, our friends in the sciences have begun to give the lecture a second look. A growing body of research suggests that lectures simply are not that effective, especially when compared to active-learning models.( WILLIAM FENTON.  NOVEMBER 12, 2015. LINK)..."

"So what you are saying, Miss Pembroke, is that the streets are not a comfortable place for you?" asked Professor Longshadow.

"The streets in Chicago during winter are treacherous, dirty, slushy, mind-boggling dangerous, and yes I am uncomfortable on the streets IN WINTER," said Miss Pembroke, "and what I need is a philosophy that helps me cope with Chicago winters."

Diary of a Misshapen Dysphemism
by Pat Darnell  |  Nov 17, 2015  |  Bryan TX


Yes, it is that bad. Mirror, mirror, everywhere, who is the pear-shaped Honkey in your glare? Emasculated by the ones who love me, cursed by a dying, incontinent, elder, and once a breeder now impotent, I am thus.

"Ring, Ring," goes the phone.

"Hello, is it really you?" says the caller, me.

"Yes, it is me, after all these years," says the other.

 "Help," say I in a moderate tone. "Am I just another victim of bad science and big business?"

If you didn't follow that one, that was me today calling me of yesterday. It's not so far fetched.

"So, what'd you eat today?" asked I past.

"Pretzels and lunch meat," respond I present, "and diet-cola."

MooPig Genetic Industry Department :: "Genetic Memory"

Epigentic Inheritance
Mashed articles by Pat Darnell  |  Nov 12, 2015  |  Bryan TX

Have you ever been told you have your mother's eyes? Or has anyone ever told you you have your father's maniacal three personality bombastic attitude? Hey, it is not so far-fetched that our family patriarchs and matriarchs have passed on their physical and behavioral traits to us siblings. Eh?

"...According to convention, the genetic sequences contained in DNA are the only way to transmit biological information across generations. Random DNA mutations, when beneficial, enable organisms to adapt to changing conditions, but this process typically occurs slowly over many generations.(Ewen Callaway and Nature magazine | December 1, 2013. LINK)..."

As far as D. D. Faraday can see, sitting editor of MooPig's Biological Basis of Behavior Department, epigenetic inheritance is possible in first generation of humans, if habitat is a big factor. "Epigentics is a new area of study," Says D. D. Faraday.

Observers have long thought that traits are only passed down if there is a biological link from parent to child. Evidence now shows up in experiments with mice that DNA might be the ultimate link for many passed down behaviors.

Researchers Discover That Memories Can Be Passed Down Through Changes In Our DNA | Collective-Evolution: "Adding further complexity to our often mystifying genetic code, research from Emory University School of Medicine in Atlanta, Georgia has shown that it’s possible for information to be inherited biologically through our DNA. More specifically, their research shows that behaviour can be affected by events in previous generations which have been passed on through a form of genetic memory. (November 12, 2015 by Arjun Walia. LINK)"

"...Humans inherit epigenetic alterations that influence behaviour, too, Ressler suspects. A parent’s anxiety, he speculates, could influence later generations through epigenetic modifications to receptors for stress hormones. But Ressler and Dias are not sure how to prove the case, and they plan to focus on lab animals for the time being. (ibid. Callaway)..."

CONCLUSION
Epigenetic --  relating to, being, or involving changes in gene function that do not involve changes in DNA sequence -- epigenetic inheritance.

How can I generate passive Internet cash flow? - Quora

(2) How can I generate passive Internet cash flow? - Quora: "Passive income is something everyone wants to know how to create. Some people do it through real estate and some do it through stocks. But the point of this post is to create it through the internet. Many methods are viable solutions such as buying low and selling high on eBay and Amazon (which both I have tried) or even affiliate marketing and developing websites. But all of these take so long to build up and have success with and can require risking money (though once built up can be great earning options). However the system I display below has proved the most viable for me. Remember through reading this I am only 15, so if I can figure it out and do this imagine what you can do. Okay, Here we Go!"

MooPig Follow-up Department :: "War Crimes of Bush Era"

Is Germany Filing War Crimes Charges Against George Bush And Dick Cheney?: "The problem with the stories from Ryan Denson and Tiffany Willis (besides from being very misleading and using large chunks of the original text with a couple of words changed) is that human rights groups don’t have the ability to indict anybody for war crimes. The German government could take up the case as this group has requested, but doing so would jeopardize German relations with the United States, which is a strong ally and fellow member of NATO. In addition to that, Brookings points out that indicting anyone for war crimes and attempting to prosecute them creates diplomatic issues that have to be taken into careful consideration."
'via Blog this'

"...Cheney’s claim that he would approve torture again highlights a key question: Are top officials above the law, and will the impunity of today lead to more abuses in the future? The question spans a wide chain of command from Cheney, President Bush and other White House officials, who kickstarted the torture program after 9/11; to the lawyers in the Justice Department, who drafted the memos providing legal cover; to the CIA officials, who implemented the abuses and misled Congress and the public; and to the military psychologists, who helped devise the techniques inflicted on prisoners at U.S. military prisons and secret black sites across the globe..." (Gonzalez, Juan--Democracy NOW! Dec 19, 2014. LINK)

CONCLUSION
The issue is "Did we torture or did we not torture?" There is no middle ground for this activity so loved by Cheney and Dubya, Rumsfeld and Rice. Torture is still amoral, up there with cannibalism, and only in America could these people get away with it, is what we are telling the world?

If I were Dubya, Cheney or the others I would drink myself blind and shoot myself. But that won't happen. So, more questions are raised than can be answered.

MooPig Climate Change Parley Department :: "Paris 2015"

Dubai started its tourist business in response to "we won't always have our oil business to depend on." Arctic drilling contracts have been cancelled. The tide is changing. Or is it?

The LINK'd article below has this question for humanity:

"... Can the world’s political leaders, for the first time ever, come together and agree on a collective plan for the future of the Earth, for the future of humanity?"

COP21: Paris Climate Talks Could Save The World. Here Is What You Need To Know.: "The insurance industry is waking up to the uninsurability of uncontrolled climate change, leading to stark warnings, notably by Mark Carney, chair of the Financial Stability Board, that disclosure of risk and risk management has to increase quickly."
'via Blog this'

Reduction of HFC's depends on "government" intervention. We built the world on fossil fuel energy, established markets to sustain use of fossil fuels, and take it for granted pretty much all over the world. Now conditions exist that tell us we will die if we continue with using fossil fuels.

COP21, which stands for Conference of Parties meeting number 21, since 1995, will have 40,000 delegates attending. All the leaders of the world will be there, and possibly the Pope will attend. Can this population of delegates influence government leaders to impose restrictions on HFC emissions, well we will just have to see if it does.

CONCLUSION
One of the forgotten reasons for the existence of government is that we organize and vote on situations that we cannot control in our communities. Crime, transportation, and taxation, and other distasteful functions like controlling fossil fuel emissions are the governments's tasks.

Build Walls
Mashed Article by Pat Darnell |  Nov 6, 2015  |  Bryan TX

Donald Trump says "Just build a wall between Mexico and the USA." Old drunken fart Dubya Bush actually built a wall, that today has a myriad of sophisticated tunnels under it.

We at MooPig Up-cycling and Re-purposing Department say: "Build walls using recycled bottles, Bitches."



HEINEKEN WOBO: A Beer Bottle That Doubles as a Brick | Inhabitat - Sustainable Design Innovation, Eco Architecture, Green Building: "Upcycling is a 21st century term, coined by Cradle to Cradle authors William McDonough and Michael Braungart, but the idea of turning waste into useful products came to life brilliantly in 1963 with the Heineken WOBO (world bottle). Envisioned by beer brewer Alfred Heineken and designed by Dutch architect John Habraken, the “brick that holds beer” was ahead of its ecodesign time, letting beer lovers and builders alike drink and design all in one sitting."
