Why are some people left-handed? - Daniel M. Abrams

Today, about one-tenth of the world’s population are southpaws. Why are such a small proportion of people left-handed -- and why does the trait exist in the first place? Daniel M. Abrams investigates how the uneven ratio of lefties and righties gives insight into a balance between competitive and cooperative pressures on human evolution.

A lockdown is ordered from sundown to sunrise, and it’s still not enough to stop what can only be described as a vampiric feeding frenzy. Can you figure out why the citizens of Numberland are being attacked? Henri Picciotto shows how.

Belief Statements : The Nature of Relationships

We believe that:

• Parents bear by divine right the primary responsibility for the education of their children.
• Parents who choose a Catholic school are asking and expecting the teachers to be partners with them in the educational endeavor.
• The spiritual climate of a school is one of its most important attributes. It should be characterized at all times and in all ways by care and kindness.
• A school should be a place in which people are able to accept mistakes and to correct them without harsh criticism.
• A sound educational environment must be one in which students experience real freedom from fear.
• Smiles and hugs are important
