Report: Semenya a hermaphrodite

I did not see the races, but by the time you get to­ such a high level of competition, it is doubtful that­ she is the only black female athlete in the race. From­ what I read all the other athletes that complained­ probably came from a variety of races. But if there­ was even one other black athlete in the competition and­ she complained and thought something was just 'not­ right", then this is in no way racist. If she is­ not 100% female then she should not be able to compete­ with the women. If she has higher testosterone levels­ she is automatically at a distinct advantages. I do­ not believe she should be allowed to compete against­ women, just because she is mostly female- that leaves­ way too much room for much greater advantages for her. ­ Again, I can not see this as being racist. There are­ way too many african or black athlete, there were some­ obvious reasons for the attention she attracted and­ none of it had to do with being black.
If any other­ black females complained also - I can't imagine­ this is racist.
Basically it seems to be common sense -­ If she is anything "more" than a regular­ female, especially with testosteron levels, the she­ just can not compete with women. Other wise let­ everyone raise their testosterone levels to be equal­ with her ( just is really just a joke, as it would be­ bad for their health) but this is considered cheating­ and unfair to true 100% women competing.
I feel so­ sorry for this girl. Perhaps she was so poor, that no­ one was sure what she was. And as a little child, you­ will be treated as either a male or female at birth -­ especially by a new mom. She she has probably always­ felt female and maybe did not even know that she might­ have a disadvantage (after all she has probably not­ have a lot medical opportunitees to be checked. No­ matter what this is a very hard thing for this person­ to endure. But once you are on a world stage, it is­ difficult to keep things out of the media. I so have­ much sym.

people - unusual circumstances - carlos mirabelli

Introduction

Carlos Mirabelli was born in 1889. He had a very basic education and was known to be a very 'simple' man. Despite his humble beginnings, Carlos exhibited an remarkable array of talents.

Persons close to Carlos indicated he only spoke his native language but in many documented events he had demonstrated the ability to speak over 28 languages including German, French, Dutch, Italian, Czech, Arabic, Japanese, Spanish, Russian, Turkish, Hebrew, Albanian, several African dialects, Latin, Chinese, Greek, Polish, Egyptian, and ancient Greek. To further confound his peers, some of the subjects he spoke on included medicine, sociology, politics, theology, psychology, history, astronomy, music, and literature - all subjects that would have been unheard of to a man with only a rudimentary education. His demonstrated writings occurred in over 28 languages and with an abnormal speed that no other human could achieve. In one documented case, Carlos wrote in hieroglyphics that to date, have still not been deciphered.

Strange Talents

Carlos had other strange talents too. For one, he could levitate and appear and disappear at will. In séances, Carlos was known to levitate 3 feet above his chair. In one incident, Carlos was seen, by several witnesses, to instantly vanish at the da Luz railroad station. Witness reported several occasions where Carlos would vanish in one room and instantly appear in another. In one controlled experiment, Carlos was bound to a chair, the doors and windows sealed, and left alone. He instantly appeared in another room on the opposite side of the building. When the experimenters returned, the seals on the doors and windows were still intact and Carlos was quietly sitting, still bound, in his chair.

In another instance, witnessed by Dr. Ganymede de Souza, a little girl materialized in a closed room in broad daylight. The doctor confirmed that the apparition was his daughter who had perished a few months earlier. The doctor took the girl's pulse, asked her personal questions, and took photographs of the incident.

The most amazing aspect of Mirabelli's events was the number of witnesses present and the analysis of photographs and films that have subsequently been conducted. In some instances up to 60 witnesses were present including 72 doctors, 12 engineers, 36 lawyers, and 25 military men. The President of Brazil once witnesses Mirabelli's talents and immediately ordered an investigation. In 1927, scientific assessments were conducted in a closed environment. Mirabelli was bound to a chair and examined before and after the tests. Tests were conducted outdoors or if conducted indoors, they were lit by bright lights. The tests resulted in over 350 "positives" and less than 60 "negatives".

Thirteen terribly weird facts about women.

It is generally believed that the difference between men and women is enormous. Women and men differ in almost every imaginable aspect of human life, especially when it comes to psychology.

A woman does not have a man’s habit to scratch her noggin when she thinks of an answer to a confusing question, for example. Women doe not like to show they are confused. They never want to ruin their hairdo with that gesture either.

Women will never understand why footballers stand in a line with their hands crossed before a penalty kick during a match. In addition, women never shudder when a male character gets kicked in the groin in a movie.

When a woman yawns she covers her mouth with the palm of her hand, not with a fist.

After taking a bath, a woman grabs a towel and makes a turban on her head from it, at least for one minute. The reasons of such a weird Oriental ritual are unknown.

A woman does not get mad when her underwear gets stuck between her buttocks. Women joyfully wear those items of torture called bikinis.

Many women worry about their looks when having sex.

Women open bottles with bottle openers.

A woman feels awkward if she does not carry anything in her hands. That is why they always carry their handbags around.

Women are absolutely indifferent to their genitals; they hardly know each other. Women do not talk to them, they do not give funny nicknames to them and they never get angry with them.

Sitting down in public transportation, women keep their legs together. That is why men often prefer to sit next to a woman because in this case they can sit spread-eagle.

If a woman finds her fly unzipped in a public place, she does not seem to care too much about it.

When a woman dresses up to go out, she puts on a blouse first. Pants come second. Men work it vice versa.

Finally, when an act of love ends, women do not feel like sleeping. They feel like talking and kissing.

Most women do not understand a thing about men.

Men are mysterious beings. There is no way women can ever understand men’s logic, just like men can never understand what women want from them. Women typically think of men as strange human beings, whose actions go beyond their understanding. For example, men do not want to meet a woman again after a very good date, they can suddenly disappear and leave phone calls and text messages unanswered, they say that they never want to get married, but then become faithful husbands.

What if women simply do not want to know the true reasons that make men break up a relationship, lose a phone number and make proposals to other women? What if women prefer not to know those reasons just because they may not like them? What if women prefer to believe only what they want to believe (all men are assholes)?

Here is the all-matching answer to all of those questions. Why doesn’t he call me? Because he doesn’t like you. Why did he leave me? Because he doesn’t like you . Why did he disappear ? Because he doesn’t like you.

This may probably be true, although it does not explain men’s indifference. Women tend to think of themselves as victims of men’s games. As a rule, they do not acknowledge any responsibility for an unsuccessful relationship and think of men as emotional criminals. The woman’s world evolves around Bridget Jones Diaries and Sex and the City. This world portrays men as either charming scoundrels or ‘weddable’ downers.

Any man would agree with the following saying: “We are not that weird and mysterious as women think of us. We are guided by sex, although we pretend to have other motives too.”

If it is true, why would a man ever want to have a family? Aren’t they supposed to inseminate as many women as possible? However, even a hopeless bachelor can become a caring husband. They say that it is very hard to find a good man. On the other hand, if you ask a lonely guy he would definitely tell you that it is very hard to find a good woman too.

To put it in a nutshell, women can ruin relationships just as easily as men can. Women can be just as violent in a relationship, although people prefer not to talk about it too much just because of the fact that men are stronger emotionally and physically. One should always bear in mind the fact that men can suffer from loneliness and one-way love.

Facts about the great thinkers Game.

CHESS.

The number of possible, unique chess games is far greater than the number of electrons in the universe! The number of electrons is estimated to be a mere 10⁷⁹, while the number of unique chess games is 10¹²⁰. In English, that's a thousand trillion, trillion, trillion, trillion, trillion, trillion, trillion, trillion, trillion games.

Chess is called the game of kings, because for many centuries it was played primarily by nobility and the upper classes.

The Isle of Lewis chess pieces are the oldest surviving complete chess set known. Discovered on they Isle of Lewis, they are made from walrus tusks and show their characters in a range of bad moods - from anger to depression.

The names of the pieces-- the queen, king, knight, rook and bishop came about during the Middle Ages, when society was extremely oriented towards war and rigidly stratified. During the Renaissance period, society became more dynamic and rules were added to enable rapid attack techniques. These include making the queen more powerful, and permitting pawns to move two squares on the first move.

The rook is named from an Arabic word rukh, meaning chariot. This reflects its ability to move quickly in straight lines, but not leap over obstacles. During the Middle Ages, when chariots were no longer in use, the rook was gradually modified to look more like the turret of a castle.

The knight's role has been stable over time. Even in the earliest versions of the game, it represented the cavalry and had the unique ability to leap over its opponents.

The word "checkmate" comes from the Persian phrase "shah mat," which means "the king is defeated."

The Arabic world, the Chinese, and later the Europeans used the chessboard as a tool for calculating and a means for expressing mathematical concepts. In medieval England, financial accounts were settled on tables resembling chessboards. When the Normans created the royal office of collection for the crown, they called it the Exchequer, and its minister the “Chancellor of the Exchequer”, because the court originally used a checkered cloth to cover the table where judgments were made. Exchequer comes from Old French, where eschequier meant counting table, and eschec meant chess. This makes the "Chancellor of the Exchequer" literally the "Chancellor of the Chessboard!"

Lewis Carrol’s novel “Through the Looking Glass” was based on a chess game, much the way “Alice in Wonderland” was based on playing cards. The idea for picturing the countryside as a chess board came from Lewis Carrol’s days in Oxmoor, where his apartment overlooked a cultivated moor, separated into neat, rectangular farmer’s fields.

The folding chess board was originally invented in 1125 by a chess-playing priest. Since the Church forbid priests to play chess, he hid his chess board by making one that looked simply like two books lying together.
