Ewa Janina Kłobukowska (born 1 October 1946) is a Polish former sprinter. [ . . . ]
The sex test used for European Cup women's track and field competition in Kyiv in 1967 wrongly identified her as not female, and Kłobukowska was subsequently banned from competing in professional sports.
In 1968, she became pregnant and gave birth to a son.
The IAAF erased the three world records set by Kłobukowska, including the two team records in the 4×100 m relay.

The field of paleontology is mean. It has always been mean. It is, in the words of Uppsala University professor Per Ahlberg, “a honeypot of narcissists.” It is “a snake pit of personality disorders.” “An especially nasty area of academia,” the Field Museum’s Jingmai O’Connor calls it.
Who knew?

Today we arrived by car in Bruges, Belgium. The plan was to immediately park the car until we leave on Monday but thanks to an inaccurate map and my inability to read Flemish street signs, we ended up driving in crowded pedestrian streets.
And on two occasions, presumably local men stood right in our path to prevent us from progressing. I’m not even mad, I’m impressed these two men would willingly lay down their lives to prevent cars from invading their Renaissance town.

@Michael Vogel They looked like they were standing their ground, no help intended at all.
On a different note I personally hate the Dutch language and its dialect, for me they are at a weird intersection of English and German without being that close to either of them. I know English, I know some German and Flemish and Dutch still elude me which is infuriating. I don't have the same problem with other languages that I don't know but that I can't easily relate to languages I already know.
If I knew more Spanish, I could have the same issue with Portuguese for example, but thankfully I am not versed into either.

"A Brief History of Men Today Are Too Feminine and Women Too Masculine"
It's brief because it only explores headlines and ledes going back to 1886 and doesn't include Herodotus and Hippocrates commenting on Scythian warrior women over two millennia ago.

The synopsis sounds like a pretty cool film. Sadly apparently the execution was hopelessly bad and jumbled.

Me 2017-08-23, 7 years ago:
After years of complaining about fake typhoons I finally get the front row seat to nature's rage!There is stuff flying upward, falling downward, passing sideways across the view through our bedroom window. Leaves are hitting the windows, plastic bags and plastic traffic dividers from the construction site nearby are doing a confused dance on the street. The occasional banner flies by. The wind is skimming water off the sea and blowing it across the street, effectively raining from below.

We also have amber, red, black rain storm warning, lightning storm warning, northern districts flood warning and a few others, and businesses and institutions will have operational manuals that decide who goes to work under what conditions, and what other preparations should be taken.
Recently, unions, government and businesses have been developing a new heat index for regulating outdoor work, as a response to the increasing spells of hot weather.

Die Wassertropfen haben immer noch die Radialgeschwindigkeit des äußeren Rings, hinzugekommen ist nur die Bewegung nach innen. Um weiter innen eine Umdrehung pro Zeiteinheit zu erreichen, reicht aber eine niedrigere Radialgeschwindigkeit. Dementsprechend sind die Tropfen schneller. Ein ähnlicher Effekt existiert auch im Weltraum, wenn sich Objekte in einem Orbit z.B. um die Erde befinden.
Und es passiert auch auf der Erde und bestimmt die Drehrichtung von Wirbelstürmen in der Süd- bzw. Nordhalbkugel.
