Orphan wolves from Slovakia given new home in Greek sanctuary

In November 2006 the successful transfer of two wolves from Slovakia to Greece was achieved through collaboration between Governmental authorities and non-Governmental organizations across three European countries.

Boreal North America

Boreal forests make up the world's largest terrestrial carbon reservoir, holding over thirty percent of terrestrial carbon. This important region has experienced dramatic change in recent years as climate change has increased warming, drying and fire frequency in the frozen north. Our program in Boreal North America focuses on understanding what the future holds for this important region, and how it will in turn provide feedbacks to global climate change. Learn More »

The Center has parallel programs dealing with the forests of the Congo Basin and Russian Asia,

Three New Emotions

Scientists at Hallmark Cards' Center for the Research and Development of Sentiments announced Monday that they had discovered three previously unknown emotions that can be experienced by human beings and captured on a folded piece of card stock.

The first emotion the project successfully isolated was "requiapathy," the combination of relief and guilt that comes with the sudden realization that you no longer miss a dead loved one. That discovery quickly led to the uncovering of "seprudity," the feeling of appreciating a coworker's dedication without fully understanding his or her job function, and "trepatiousness," a synthesis of rage and jealousy, though more muted and often accompanied by a sensation of weight-lessness.

"[Trepatiousness] appears to be a very rare emotion

"The only way to activate it during waking hours, in fact, is with a combination of reds, oranges, and drowsy beagles in top hats."
