TEDx Talks Dan Everett brings us back in time to the Homo Erectus to share how language began and why it is the ultimate evolutionary tool to share knowledge. Dan Everett was born in Southern California. He completed an undergraduate degree in biblical studies from the Moody Bible Institute in Chicago and his Master’s and ScD in linguistics at the Universidade Estadual de Campinas in Brazil. From 1977, he has regularly conducted research on the Pirahã language of Brazil. He has also conducted research on Tzeltal (Mexico), Selish (USA), Arawan (Brazil), Satere (Brazil), Wari’ (Brazil) among many others. He has published fourteen books and more than 110 articles and has lectured around the world on his research. He converted to Christianity at 17 years of age and was a committed, evangelical Christian until abandoning his faith due to lessons he learned from the Pirahãs (as discussed in Don’t sleep, there are snakes). His most recent books are Dark Matter of the Mind: The Culturally Articulated Unconscious (University of Chicago Press) and How Language Began: The Story of Humanity’s Greatest Invention (W.W. Norton/Liveright). This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx

TED-Ed Explore William Shakespeare’s play “The Tempest”, a story of shipwreck, magic and a fight for power. — Claps of thunder and flashes of lightning illuminate a swelling sea, as a ship buckles beneath the waves. It is no ordinary storm, but a violent and vengeful tempest, and it sets the stage for Shakespeare’s most enigmatic play. Why does this play still resonate with modern readers? Iseult Gillespie investigates. Lesson by Iseult Gillespie, directed by Héloïse Dorsan Rachet.

NOVA PBS Official As many states legalize consumption, cannabis use is becoming more mainstream. But in adolescents, regular use of cannabis could increase the likelihood of developing a psychiatric disorder, including schizophrenia, studies suggest. “I started using cannabis when I was 15 years old, and in my college years, multiple times a day,” Callan, who’s now 30 and was eventually diagnosed with schizophrenia, told NOVA. “I started getting really paranoid about things. I started feeling like people were following me.” Watch Callan’s story and learn about the doctors and researchers studying cannabis use in young adults and teens.

WASHINGTON—Bristling at the suggestion that more could be done to maintain good oral hygiene, White House press secretary Jen Psaki reportedly snapped at her dentist Thursday, questioning whether he seriously expected her to brush every night. “What exactly is the core premise of this line of questioning, Dr. Hoffman? You’re saying I should be brushing every single night, and I’m responding that this is a clear misreading of history,” said the combative Psaki, who firmly pushed back on what she described as a “lack of context” that prevented her dentist from seeing a significant rise in flossing since her previous visit. “If you’re just going to interrupt me every few seconds to tell me to ‘close and spit’ and peddle long-debunked hearsay about possible cavities then I’m sorry, I’m not going to take any of these invasive and highly personal questions about whether I use mouthwash. This isn’t constructive and you know it isn’t what a routine cleaning is about.” At press time, Psaki had stormed out of the office after her dentist demanded she let him take a few follow-up x-rays.

VOCES8 VOCES8 sings the traditional German carol, ‘Es ist ein Ros entsprungen’ during a recording session for the group’s album, EQUINOX. www.voces8equinox.com A spotless Rose is blowing, sprung from a tender root, Of ancient seers’ foreshowing of Jesse promised fruit; Its fairest bud unfolds to light Amid the cold, cold winter; and in the dark midnight. The Rose which I am singing, whereof Isaiah said, Is from its sweet root springing in Mary, purest Maid; For, through our God’s great love and might, The blessed Babe she bare us in a cold, cold winter’s night. This Flower, whose fragrance tender with sweetness fills the air, Dispels with glorious splendour the darkness everywhere; True Man, yet very God, From sin and death He saves us, and lightens every load. O Jesus, by being born out of this vale of tears, Let Thy help guide us to the hall of joy In your father’s kingdom, As we praise You eternally; O God, give us that. **** VOCES8 is part of the VCM Foundation, a music education foundation.

The Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR) is a milestone document in the history of human rights. Drafted by representatives with different legal and cultural backgrounds from all regions of the world, the Declaration was proclaimed by the United Nations General Assembly in Paris on 10 December 1948 (General Assembly resolution 217 A) as a common standard of achievements for all peoples and all nations. It sets out, for the first time, fundamental human rights to be universally protected and it has been translated into over 500 languages. The UDHR is widely recognized as having inspired, and paved the way for, the adoption of more than seventy human rights treaties, applied today on a permanent basis at global and regional levels (all containing references to it in their preambles). 

Preamble

Whereas recognition of the inherent dignity and of the equal and inalienable rights of all members of the human family is the foundation of freedom, justice and peace in the world,

Whereas disregard and contempt for human rights have resulted in barbarous acts which have outraged the conscience of mankind, and the advent of a world in which human beings shall enjoy freedom of speech and belief and freedom from fear and want has been proclaimed as the highest aspiration of the common people,

Whereas it is essential, if man is not to be compelled to have recourse, as a last resort, to rebellion against tyranny and oppression, that human rights should be protected by the rule of law,

Whereas it is essential to promote the development of friendly relations between nations,

Whereas the peoples of the United Nations have in the Charter reaffirmed their faith in fundamental human rights, in the dignity and worth of the human person and in the equal rights of men and women and have determined to promote social progress and better standards of life in larger freedom,

Whereas Member States have pledged themselves to achieve, in co-operation with the United Nations, the promotion of universal respect for and observance of human rights and fundamental freedoms,

Whereas a common understanding of these rights and freedoms is of the greatest importance for the full realization of this pledge,

Now, therefore,

The General Assembly,

Proclaims this Universal Declaration of Human Rights as a common standard of achievement for all peoples and all nations, to the end that every individual and every organ of society, keeping this Declaration constantly in mind, shall strive by teaching and education to promote respect for these rights and freedoms and by progressive measures, national and international, to secure their universal and effective recognition and observance, both among the peoples of Member States themselves and among the peoples of territories under their jurisdiction.
