			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20090611/sc_nm/us_germany_element">New Element to Be Included on Periodic Table</a>: A good example of new knowledge in the sciences. It might work for the question on &#8220;provisional conclusions in the sciences&#8221;, but also the &#8220;discovered/invented&#8221; question. The article states:</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">Scientists at the Helmholtz Center have discovered six chemical elements, numbered 107-112, since 1981.The remaining five elements have already been recognized and named.</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">In 1925, scientists discovered the last naturally occurring element on the periodic table. Since then researchers have sought to create new, heavier elements.</p>
<p>This is rather interesting &#8211; because the suggestion here is that the elements that have been added since 1925 are essentially created (they don&#8217;t naturally exist, but have to be made), but also discovered (even if they are made they have to found). If using this example, I&#8217;d probably do a bit of research on the elements and exact distinction between natural and not natural.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.slate.com/id/2219697/">China&#8217;s Version of the Tianmen Square Massacre</a>: We have, on occasion, discussed how history is in many ways rather subjective, and that different sides exist for every historical event. We heard about the Rape of Nanking, which is &#8211; to the anger of the Chinese &#8211; not officially recognised in Japan. Here is an example of a piece of history the Chinese are &#8216;rewriting&#8217; in their favour, or rather, pretending it essentially did not happen.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Although I realise that you might be ignoring my postings at this point (though you <em>do</em> still get a grade for commenting), I will continue to share. I don&#8217;t believe that knowledge and learning stop once a particular deadline has been met or a report card has been issued. Plus, some of these articles are likely to contain excellent examples for your ToK essays!</p>
<p>So, peruse at your own leisure:<br />
<a href="http://judson.blogs.nytimes.com/2009/05/26/guest-column-loves-me-loves-me-not-do-the-math/">Mathematically Calculating Love</a>: Yes, you have read correctly.<br />
<a href="http://thelede.blogs.nytimes.com/2009/05/27/gay-divorce-still-legal-in-california/?hp">Gay Divorce Still Legal</a>: Legal Messes&#8230;.<br />
<a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2009/05/28/world/asia/28kashgar.html">Moving to Raze an Ancient City: Uighur Kashgar</a>: I&#8217;m not sure what example there is in this &#8211; but it is an interesting, though saddening read. If nothing else, this article is to share with you some of our amazing human cultural heritage that, if you have the chance, you should go visit before it is destroyed.<br />
<a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2009/05/28/fashion/28RETOUCH.html">Retouching Beauty</a>: The Socio-cultural impact of photoshopping celebrities.<br />
<a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2009/05/29/science/29mouse.html?hp">Human Language Gene Changes How Mice Squeak</a>: Absolutely fascinating research into areas we know so little about&#8230;</p>
<p>More to come soon!<br />
