“We still have many shortcomings and failures to fulfill the Party's demands, especially as regards the liquidation in some of our people of survivals of the accursed past in consciousness and conduct and the fulfillment of the demands of our Soviet ethics and military discipline.” PeopleStillsPastPartyConsciousnessMilitaryDisciplineDemandSurvivalEthicsRegardFulfillmentSovietShortcomingsMilitary Discipline Author:Filipp Golikov
“Women are far more likely to follow orders to evacuate, especially women with children. At the same time, women were much more likely to die during the South Asian tsunami. In some villages it was 3 to 1. And that was party because of the average strength it takes to hold onto something. Also it was cultural; women were less likely to know how to swim, as were children. So much of this is based on how we develop our own survival skills before something goes wrong: Even if nothing goes wrong, it might be good to know how to swim.” IfsKnowsChildrenMightOrderDiesPartyKnow HowSkillsSurvivalSouthAverageBe GoodSwimVillageAsianTsunamiSurvival Skills Author:Amanda Ripley

“All of the elements of the comic way tend to spread to others, insinuating joy where it was previously absent. Conversation has a way of leaping among persons, as it does at parties and celebratory gatherings. Storytelling always begets storytelling. It is difficult to watch others at play without wanting to join them. This is not only a human phenomenon, for researchers have consistently noted that animals at play are often imitated by other animals. So wherever it is possible to initiate a playful activity, it will have a good chance of replicating itself through other parts of the system.” WayHumansPersonsDoePlayJoyDifficultChanceAnimalPartyWatchesActivityConversationElementsSurvivalSpreadStorytellingComicPhenomenonConsistentlyGatheringAbsentResearchersBegetsInitiateGood Chance Author:Joseph Rusling Meeker
