How does the brain help us in seeing things?
The cells in the retina absorb and convert the light to electrochemical impulses which are transferred along the optic nerve to the brain.
The brain is instrumental in helping us see as it translates the image into something we can understand.
Lens focuses light rays onto the retina at the back of the eye..
What is second brain in human body?
The enteric nervous system is often referred to as our body’s second brain. There are hundreds of million of neurons connecting the brain to the enteric nervous system, the part of the nervous system that is tasked with controlling the gastrointestinal system.
Can you be born with 2 brains?
A baby has been born in Indonesia with two faces because his conjoined twin did not develop properly in the womb. … On his head he has the face and brain of a sibling which did not grow its own body in the womb, because their mother’s egg did not completely split in two during pregnancy.
What part of brain affects vision?
The occipital lobe is the back part of the brain that is involved with vision. Temporal lobe. The sides of the brain, these temporal lobes are involved in short-term memory, speech, musical rhythm, and some degree of smell recognition.
Do we see with our eyes or brain?
But we don’t ‘see’ with our eyes – we actually ‘see’ with our brains, and it takes time for the world to arrive there. From the time light hits the retina till the signal is well along the brain pathway that processes visual information, at least 70 milliseconds have passed.
Do we have 2 minds?
The human body has two brains, but not two brains as we know them,” Dr Candrawinata said. “Our brain in our head is responsible for our thinking and processing. … “Our second brain is located in our tummy, or to be more specific, in our digestive system.
What the human eye Cannot see?
Red-green and yellow-blue are the so-called “forbidden colors.” Composed of pairs of hues whose light frequencies automatically cancel each other out in the human eye, they’re supposed to be impossible to see simultaneously. The limitation results from the way we perceive color in the first place.
How far can the human eye see?
Based on the curve of the Earth: Standing on a flat surface with your eyes about 5 feet off the ground, the farthest edge that you can see is about 3 miles away.
How many dimensions do humans see in?
two dimensionsWe are 3D creatures, living in a 3D world but our eyes can show us only two dimensions. The depth that we all think we can see is merely a trick that our brains have learned; a byproduct of evolution putting our eyes on the front of our faces. To prove this, close one eye and try to play tennis.
What can the human eye not see?
The human eye is not capable of “seeing” radiation with wavelengths outside the visible spectrum. The visible colors from shortest to longest wavelength are: violet, blue, green, yellow, orange, and red. Ultraviolet radiation has a shorter wavelength than the visible violet light.
What part of the brain controls emotions?
AmygdalaAmygdala: Limbic structure involved in many brain functions, including emotion, learning and memory. It is part of a system that processes “reflexive” emotions like fear and anxiety.
How does our brain See?
Rods and cones cover the entire retina except for a spot where the optic nerve connects to the brain. The optic nerve carries the information received from the retina to the brain, where the brain translates it into the single image we perceive, or ‘see. ‘
How are we able to see things in your mind?
Seeing things in your mind relies on accessing visual memories. These may be accurate or inaccurate depending on many factors such as how long ago you saw it, how much detail was stored, etc. … Your eyes just take light in, your brain makes the picture. Your eyes see a 475nm wave, your brain makes blue.
Can you feel your brain thinking?
Because of your brain you are able to feel many, many sensations from simple physical pain to extraordinary physical touch, say playing a violin. So no, we do not feel your brain thinking, but we can know your thought.
What part of the brain controls thought?
cerebrumThe cerebrum, the large, outer part of the brain, controls reading, thinking, learning, speech, emotions and planned muscle movements like walking. It also controls vision, hearing and other senses. The cerebrum is divided two cerebral hemispheres (halves): left and right.

Separate names with a comma.
Discussion in 'Nintendo Lobby' started by A-K-A, Aug 26, 2012.
You can't have Matthew in the game and not Isaac. You just can't.
Super Smash Bros 64 = 12 characters;
Super Smash Bros Melee = 25 characters; and
Super Smash Bros Brawl = 35 characters.
So Super Smash Bros 4 I think has a good chance of having somewhere in the range of 45 to 50 characters. Any character number in that range would be ideal for me. Such a range could also mean that as many as 5 third party characters could make the cut.
I'm guessing up to 5 third party characters might make the cut:
Sonic (retained from Brawl), Pac-Man (new), Mega Man (new), Travis Touchdown (new) and either Snake (retained from Brawl) or Bayonetta (new).
I will be mad if Ghiharim doesn't make it in, he was practically made for Smash.
I think Ghirahim is almost guaranteed being in the final roster given that the most recent Smash games tend to focus on promoting games/series from the previous generation.
He reviews my latest roster
How I think I would do the Kid Icarus roster in SSB4:
Characters - Pit (w/ Palutena Speech Moments/Final Smash), Phosphora, Magnus
ATs - Dark Lord Gaol, Hades
Boss - Medusa
Well, IF the Legend of Zelda series were to get a new character, he would seem the most legit. :3
Edited my old roster a little. Its a little on the large side though.
I agree. None, I repeat, none of these characters are useless. They may not be my Brawl mains, but I still do use these characters quite often because they do have their uses.
1st Column: I feel that another Wario character is needed. The Wario series are getting pretty popular now, you know.
2nd Column: Pretty much like Wario's case, I feel the Yoshi series needs a new rep. :3
6nd Column: I think Kid Icarus needs a new rep. too, but Palutena? There's just one problem: She's an immortal goddess. We wouldn't beat her!
7th Column: Two problems with this one. One is that Red remains. Him and his Pokémon are ionic, sure, but his latest appearance was 3 years ago. I feel he's getting outdated. Lucario staying seems more likely. Also, Genesct? I'd choose Zoroark over Genesect any day. Zoroark looks and plays the part of a villain, Genesect only plays the part.
8th Column: Again, two problems. It's not with the Star Fox part: that's good. But Isa and Matthew? Over Saki and Isaac? The successors above the originals? That's like saying "The originals aren't important, the successors are." Without Saki and Isaac's games, Isa and Matthew's wouldn't have. Just think about that.
9th Column: Andy's gotta wrench. Some other Advance Wars character please.
Had to fix it. :3
My previous reply still applies to this doe
That is a pretty good roster, but I too prefer Saki and Isaac. However, I don't know how I feel about 4 third party characters.If Metal Gear Solid 5 The Phantom Pain doesn't come to Wii U, Sakurai and Nintendo may feel some type of way of even including him, and since he is third party he doesn't have to return. We'll see. Also, I think it is missing Dillon or some other newer portable system character (Chrom doesn't count).
I prefer Saki/Isaac as well, they were on the old roster, but I think it could go either way. I kept Snake in the meantime because I feel he's a good character, whether we see him or another Konami rep at all is up in the air. While making this I had Dillon and Mallo on there, but decided not to put them. I think Dillon, Mallo, and Tempo are great characters I've been coming up with a moveset for Mallo, even, however I'm not sure where these titles lie. I'd certainly like to see them but we don't know whether they'll consider eshop titles. Dillon for example seems to be a popular choice if an eshop title character is used, but I think if we see them, it'll be as DLC or if the roster of the 3DS version is different then I think we may see him and some others like Isaac, Andy, Stafy there, while the Wii U gets the likes of Saki, Shulk, etc.
Top 5 characters you want in Smash Bros. 4
1. Shulk - Xenoblade Chronicles
2. Chrom - Fire Emblem Awakening
3. Lucina - Fire Emblem Awakening
4. Lloyd Irvin - Tales of Symphonia
5. Bayonetta - Bayonetta 2
1. KK Slider - Animal Crossing
2.Tom Nook - Animal Crossing
3. Chrom - Fire Emblem
4. Koopa - Super Mario World
5. Goron - The Legend of Zelda
DLC Characters! AAAAAaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! That was a bit of an overreaction but I really hope Nintendo does not go down that road. I know Nintendo used DLC in the past, but that was for like extra stages in Mario. Characters is a giant part of Smash Bros. and I don't think I would want to pay for characters that should have been in the game in the first place. However, I can see them using DLC for extra classic stages that just didn't return (As someone mentioned earlier) and maybe special trophies and stickers (I would be surprised if trophies and stickers don't return).
I don't see the problem really, as long as they're not overpriced. I can see them doing maybe 45-50 characters and then down the road adding 2-3 or so as time passes to keep continuous interest in the games.
This is so hard but they would probably be
1. Shulk- Xenoblade
2. Chrom- Fire Emblem Awakening
3. Isaac- Golden Sun
4. Ridley- Metroid
*5.Dillon - The Rolling Western
*6. Saki- Sin and Punishment
*I could not decide between these two!
2 other characters I never mentioned in my roster but would also like to see are Little Mac and Ray MK 3
In reply to @jorgejjvr 's question
Personal wants for the roster:
Eirika (Fire Emblem: Sacred Stones)
Palutena (Kid Icarus)
Mach Rider (Mach Rider)
Mike Jones (StarTropics)
Sadly none of these will make it in.
It's okay I guess... I'm just really DLC'd out. Too many companies abuse it.
I personally am hoping that the game is filled to the brim and DLC will be deemed unnecessary (though the fans will still go crazy for "X" character/stage, etc. not being in), however if they do have some, I'm fine w/it as long as its not abused/overpriced, which I doubt would happen.
Or they could use QR codes. BTW GhostPikmin, how do you get those quotes added with your messages like that?
What do you mean? The PSN, Lovecraft quote and whatnot? If thats what you mean; thats your signature, hover over My Account and under it, it allows you to add a signature, view your profile, etc, etc.
I pick Isa Jo and Matthew because of what they represent currently in the series.
The main character in the localized game and the main character of the game that starts the main story.
Isaac still stands a chance because he is in all 3 Golden Suns but that same thing can't really be said about Saki. Isa and Saki are even in that series, you can't say Saki stands over Isa "because he is the original character".
Being original doesn't automatically mean they are THE choice. Example being Ninten. They could get in but it is no guarantee.
Idk what's worse: Lucario not being there or seeing Paper Mario instead of Bowser Jr/Toad
No! No more Fire Emblem characters and those other characters are 3rd parties so No. NEVER!
No more Fire Emblem?
My top 5 wanted characters
5. Isa Jo
Roy and Marth are engouh
How about Marth, Chrom, and Micaiah?
Perfect, unlike the clone duo
My top five most wanted characters would be:
- Mega Man
- King K. Rool
@GhostPikmin: I think you'll be pleasantly surprised with Palutena come this E3.
Palutena has the advantage of being second-in-line in importance next to Pit himself (heck, the series is even named after her in Japan which shows how important she is). It also helps that Palutena is highly requested to get in as she is among the Top 10 most wanted characters. I know there's the Sakurai bias issue, but Kid Icarus isn't a franchise created by Sakurai so I don't think that's much of an issue.
Edit: Wait, didn't you just put Palutena on your roster?
Mach Rider also has a good chance of getting in. Sakurai wants to revive old retro characters and Takamaru has, in a ways, already received one through recent appearance, so who makes better sense at being a revival character than Mach Rider himself?
Sakurai doesn't like to over represent his own franchises, that's why we only got more Kirby characters in Brawl. Even though he didn't make Kid Icarus, he's still responsible for it's resurrection and I wouldn't be surprised if he helped develop future titles in the series, so it's possible we'll only see a second character in SSB5.
I think you need to lighten up. Those Fire Emblem characters would make a lot of sense in the next Smash Brothers. Plus, those 3rd-Party characters have all been on Nintendo platforms recently/will be soon. What characters would you want anyway? You seem to shoot down many good points.
I want Ridley and Marx
sakurai: "guys I know you loved tripping, so we added spontaneous heart attacks!"
I can see why you want Ridley, but Marx is a little off for me for a couple of reasons.
The "Kirby" universe already has three reps, and the fourth will probably be a character that appears in a more recent game, like Waddle Dee.
Looking at Kirby's size in Brawl, then comparing it to Kirby's size in his games, Marx will be huge. Also, Marx has a heavy variety of powerful attacks. This will probably land him as an assist trophy or boss.
Do you think your opinions are gonna change my opinions? Marx would be the best newcomer and your lame arguments are not gonna change it.
if it even has any DLC.
If it does have DLC, I hope that the game feels big with a wide roster, stage selection, and general content without the added DLC first. Then after all that, I would accept DLC.
Characters should range from $3-5. Stages should be about $2. There should be NO first party DLC. That should all be in game.
Also, pick one third party character you really want to see. I would love to see the Blue Bomber Mega Man make an appearance.
I'd like smash to come out as a full game that doesn't require dlc to be complete.
I'm already spending $60

No first party DLC? Why exactly? They could add in beta or unfinished characters that way.
Free would be great.
Because if it was an important first party character, it should be in the final product. Not an afterthought as DLC.
Also, if it was first party DLC, it should be free, but it probably won't because of the pricing structure they would have to set up for characters. Also, if it wasn't the first choice to have as a character, then it's probably a lame character like Game and Watch that the devs shouldn't bother wasting resources on.
I would love to see a semi-annual release of new characters with quarterly game balance patches to keep a couple of character from dominating the game like MK does presently.
Ideally I would love to see Smash go free to play ala League of Legends where you play for free.
My dream that will never be:
Free characters are rotated weekly that you can play.
You earn in game currency that can be used purchase new characters.
You can also purchase new characters with real money if you desire.
You can use real money to buy alternative costumes/move animations should you choose.
You use in game currency to buy "runes and masteries" aka items to help beef up certain aspects of your character to help individualize things a bit. You could add speed, smash power, jump height etc.
Essentially you would never have to make another smash. League has made over 100 champions in 3 years along with a 3 new game modes. All for free. The only part of the game you are required to use money for are the OPTIONAL costumes/skins for champions.
So they should be expected to put in extra work/labor years after the game is created for free? If they release the Smash U with 40 characters and then every 6 months for 5 years release a new character or two why should that be free? It is extra labor on their part that wasn't part of the original package and is extending the life of their game.
Know what would be awesome?
Reward-able DLC unlocks. Like how you get trophies for certain things in Brawl, but instead you could get unlocks for completing online challenges and stuff.
The best part about the Super Smash series is unlocking the characters by gameplay. Nothing feels more rewarding than unlocking all the secret characters.
You can have a complete game and then add onto it later. Just like you can buy a (complete) house and decide to add another room later.
I would like to see DLC come out every month or two, be priced at 5 dollars, and include a character, a stage appropriate to that character's franchise, and maybe one item or two.
I don't know how to respond to this because I don't know what you're saying.
You can call him a clone of Sonic all you want, but Id like to see Shadow appear in Smash 4. If Shadow does end up being DLC, Id gladly buy it.

Is it cruel to feed a dog once a day?
The number of meals a dog eats per day depends completely on the family schedule. Dogs should eat at least two meals each day, about 12 hours apart.

AB Productions has reported it has now wrapped production on its time travel western Showdown In Yesteryear, filmed at Dogwood Pass in Ohio.
Dogwood Pass is a tourist attraction aimed at recreating the days of the Wild West, with period-accurate costumes and props already available, which made it the perfect spot to shoot a film…it’s basically the Ohio equivalent of Paramount Ranch in California. The center character of the movie, though, is a man from our present…Daryl Dumwoody, a down-on-his-luck loser who discovers a portal that transports him back to the 1800s.
While he’s there, he might find love with a fierce young widow..if he can survive encountering a gang of outlaws, as well as the villainous town boss Orson Kane.
Showdown in Yesteryear stars Jeff Grennell as Daryl, Vernon Wells (The Road Warrior, Commando) as Kane, and Debra Lamb as the widow, along with Timothy O’Hearn as “a desperado.” O’Hearn is the one who directed the feature, along with Aaron Bratcher, working from a script by Gregory Lamberson (Widow’s Point). The film is now entering post-production, and distribution rights are still up in the air.
Showdown in Yesteryear follows Grennell as contemporary sad sack Daryl Dumwoody, who discovers a mysterious door in the woods which transports him to a frontier town in the 1800’s. There, Dumwoody contends with oppressive town boss Orson Kane (Wells), a fiercely independent widow (Lamb), and a gang of ruthless outlaws while attempting to find a way back to his own time. O’Hearn plays a desperado.


Federal Judge Delays Enforcement of Alabama Abortion Law
US District Judge Myron Thompson has delayed the implementation of an Alabama law that would severely limit access to abortion services from August 2013 to March 24, 2014. The law, which mandates abortion clinics conform to the same standards as ambulatory care centers and requires doctors to attain admitting privileges at nearby hospitals, would eliminate three out of the five clinics in Alabama currently offering abortion services.
The American Civil Liberties Union and Planned Parenthood have filed a joint lawsuit against the law in an attempt to block the provision that requires doctors have admitting privileges in local hospitals. Currently, the majority of clinics in Alabama have doctors who travel from out of state perform procedures. These doctors partner with local doctors with admitting privileges to provide necessary follow-up care. With the new measure, the doctors themselves must have the admitting privileges. According to the lawsuit, many local hospitals deny these privileges to abortion doctors because the hospital is opposed to abortion or the clinic is too far away according to hospitals standards.

Feminism is not a singular concept - and never has been: there is not just one feminism, but a multitude of divergent theoretical and practical approaches. Even today, what is meant by feminism is contested and disputed. This is evident in the negotiation of which genealogies enter into feminist struggles against the backdrop of different political and sociocultural backgrounds.
How can new concepts of earlier texts and practices of feminist movements be discovered, or older concepts be made (differently) productive? How do feminist theories relate to different forms of structural inequality, which alliances, crossings, and contradictions exist?

Coastal Virginia Testing a New Approach to Flood Planning
Ryan Murphy reports on the recently unveiled plan to fortify the neighborhood of Chesterfield Heights in Norfolk, Virginia, from coastal erosion and sea-level rise.
"[The] ambitious $112 million federally funded plan — the final version of which was unveiled last week — aims to halt the advance of the water and keep Chesterfield Heights dry for decades to come, as Norfolk faces down an estimated 2½ feet of sea level rise within 50 years," according to Murphy.
The plan, called the Ohio Creek Watershed Project, expanded beyond the original plan to build a series of seawalls and five drainage pumps. Murphy explains the changes since earlier versions of the plan:
Softer options like earth berms replace hardened sea walls. The berms, several feet high in some places, will be easier to update and reinforce than a traditional concrete structure — just toss some more dirt on it.
Ohio Creek is tidal and will flood and drain freely, as it always has. But Hayes Creek right next door will have a tide gate that can be dropped at low tide when a storm is coming. The creek and its wetlands will serve as a basin, collecting rainwater rather than letting it flood neighborhood streets. Then the gate will reopen after the storm to let the water drain out to sea.
The idea for the plan is also to export the knowledge gained from the plan's new and varied approaches to cities and communities in other parts of the country.


Delhi seems to have become a safe haven for criminals, especially the chain snatchers as incidents of chain snatchings and subsequent physical attacks are on rampant rise with shockingly the women being the victims.
Believe me, thirty percent of the cases of such incidents are either not reported due to the apprehension of reprisals from the culprits or with a belief that the ornament once gone would never be recovered.
Delhi being the capital of the country is already too busy a city with its population being rapidly multiplied and so is the law and order situation. The Delhi police has so many other functions to do like VIP n VVIP security and its involvement in dealing and resolving with other serious nature of crimes like murders, women security, cases of frauds, economic offences, law and order, general petrolling and cases pertaining to thefts, decoities, vehicle thefts and chain snatchings.
The staff strength too is not in commensurate with the capacity to cope with the deteriorating law and order situation in Delhi police with lots of vacancies still existing. The lack on the part of the law enforcing agencies to stringently deal with such criminals as chain snatchers and robbers makes their morale high and decreases the terror of law and law enforcing agencies like police, in their mind.
This therefore results in rapid increase in the crime statistics and subsequent in security amongst the Delhi citizens, especially the women who are the most suffered lot at the hands of the chain snatchers of Delhi, majority of who are reckless juveniles, below eighteen who even after being caught get free thus encouraged to commit more harsh crimes in future, finally shaping themselves as hardened criminals.
The horrifying incident of outer district in Rohini Sector 5 Market on 29th October between 7 to 8 PM is, though not new, but still an eye opener for Delhi police and mute spectators in which not only the diamond studded chain of a brave woman doctor of Rajiv Gandhi Cancer Hospital was forcibly snatched by two bike borne robbers but was also shot on her thigh twice profusely bleeding who were finally successful in absconding with the gold n diamond chain showing open rebuff to over 100 mute DARPOK and selfish locals.
Such tragic incidents are the order of the day in DELHI and the police authorities unfortunately are not able to counter them for the reasons best known to them. It’s really shocking to note that as per the latest statistics published in today’s HT in the last five years there have been a gigantic surge of 413% in cases of chain snatchings in Delhi. According to the latest data from 2013 to October 2017, about 37,557 cases of chain snatchings were registered, four times more than 7,309 cases registered in between 2008 to 2012.
One can just imagine the enhancement of moral amongst criminals commiting chain snatching in such a large number and the sagging morale of the police force to apply effective check on them.

After several weeks of reading, I finally finished my book club book, "The Happiness Project" by Gretchen Rubin. This book was incredible and I can't wait to read it again! This is definitely a book that I want to read again and savor the chapters as I create my very own Happiness Project. The author broke her project down into monthly sections and each month focused on a different area of happiness. Here is a quick recap of my favorite parts of each chapter.
- January: Vitality - This month focused on getting more sleep, exercising more, dealing with the clutter, and acting more energetic. My favorite part of this chapter was focusing on tossing, reorganizing, and taking care of clutter that happens in our lives. I am already a very organized person and this chapter reaffirmed my passion for cleaning and organizing my life.
- February: Marriage - This month focused on quitting the nagging, fighting right, and giving proofs of love. I was really struck by the nagging part and had a huge aha moment that I am a bit of a nag most of the time. I loved how the author talked about nagging and how it can really affect a marriage in a negative way and it can be damaging to our emotional well-being. After reading this chapter, I made a resolution to focus on limiting my nagging when it comes to my marriage.
- March: Work - This month focused on working smart, asking for help, and enjoying the now. My efforts were focused on the resolution to work smarter in my career. I have taken the time to become more organized and work in a more efficient manner when it comes to projects, emails, and meetings. I am also working on the resolution of enjoying the now instead of always planning days and weeks ahead.
- April: Parenthood - This month focused on singing in the morning, taking time from projects, and acknowledging feelings. Since I am not yet a parent, I was not able to practice any of these resolutions but I was able to gain some knowledge for future parenting challenges. I love the idea of taking time for projects with my future children... can't wait to have some fun with that!
- May: Leisure - This month focused on finding more fun, taking time to be silly, and going off the path. I learned so much from this chapter about how important making time for fun is for our level of happiness. I am working on the resolution of going off the path and finding time to be more spontaneous. I am such a planner (which can be a good thing) but I also need to focus on having fun on a whim and allowing myself to relax and embrace the time to be silly and finding more fun in my life.
- June: Friendship - This month focused on being generous, showing up, and not gossiping. This chapter was one of my favorites, because I find that friendships are a huge part of my happiness level. I agree completely with the author that just by showing up, you can have a huge impact on your friends. I am also trying to work on the resolution of limiting the gossip, which is really easier said than done.
- July: Money - This month focused on indulging in a modest splurge, buying needful things, and giving something up. I really enjoyed this chapter, because the author focused on how we spend our money is what can make us happier, not necessarily having more money. I have focused on the indulging in a modest splurge, since I am so frugal, I have realized that a modest splurge makes sense sometimes and can really have an impact on my happiness level.
- August: Eternity - This month focused on keeping a gratitude notebook and imitating a spiritual master. I chose to focus on the gratitude notebook resolution and I have found that just by recognizing moments of gratitude or by keeping a gratitude journal, more joy and happiness does come into your life.
- September: Books - This month focused on writing a novel, making time for reading, and mastering a new technology. I chose to focus on the making time for reading resolution, which is easier said than done. With so many things going on in our busy lives, it is often hard to find time for reading. I am striving to work on this resolution daily, even if it is just 5 minutes of quiet reading time.
- October: Mindfulness - This month focused on meditation, keeping a food diary, and stimulating our mind in new ways. I can honestly say that the food diary resolution is not going to happen for me. The idea of writing down everything I eat, day after day, does not appeal to me in any way. I do want to work on the resolution of meditation, which for me is going to take some practice (as you can imagine, it is hard to quiet my mind).
- November: Attitude - This month focused on laughing out loud, using good manners, and giving positive reviews. I have chosen to focus on the resolution of giving positive reviews. I would like to be the wife, friend, daughter, sister, and colleague that gives positive feedback far more times than negative. Let's just say I am working on giving more compliments.
- December: Happiness - This month focused on doing all of the resolution perfectly... which let's be honest is crazy. With all of the resolutions that were discussed in this book, I find it impossible to do even half of them perfectly. I have decided for myself that striving for perfection is not a resolution of mine. Instead, I want to continuously work on myself and strive for more happiness in my daily life.
This book was such a joy to read and I am excited to discuss it with the girls at book club tonight! Can't wait!

What Is Neurofeedback?
Neurofeedback therapy has become a popular and safe alternative for dults, adolescents, and children that are seeking evidence-based treatment for mental health issues without the risks of side effects or pharmacological interventions.

What Does Neurofeedback Help With?
How Does Neurofeedback Work?
This form of therapy includes EEG sensors that monitor your brainwaves and a computer to send feedback to you and your brain.
It is suitable for both kids and adults and typically involves playing a game, listening to music, or watching a video. The stimuli (game, music, or video) only operates smoothly when your brainwaves are functioning within an optimal range. This acts as a reward for your brain.
When your brainwaves fire at a rate that is not optimal, you receive negative feedback (your movie pauses, the game doesn’t work, the music stops, etc.). This feedback tells your brain that something is out of balance and causes it to “figure out” how to return to a seamless movie, music, or game.
Over the course of a training program, your brain learns from this feedback. This can promote lasting changes within your brain. The brain then consistently operates within a more optimal range outside of your training sessions, alleviating your symptoms.
We utilize the latest 19 sensor neurofeedback machine here in our clinic. This allows us to train 19 different areas of your brain simultaneously. You wear a cap fitted with 19 sensors that produce a visualization of your brain waves for your provider to observe on a monitor. Your active and passive brain waves are measured, and then you are exposed to music, videos, and games dependent on the treatment goal.
The intent of the games, music, or movie is to have you focus on the desired outcome. In doing so, you change your brain frequencies, frequently without realizing it, to achieve the task. You receive instant feedback when your brainwave frequencies fall within the desired treatment range to change volume, size, or the game outcome. Your provider guides you to achieve target results and reinforces certain frequencies while inhibiting other frequencies. At the same time, your brain learns what frequencies to change and how to change them, often without you being aware of the process.
Benefits of Neurofeedback?

What is the Newbery Medal?
The Book I Chose to Evaluate...
While keeping these criteria in mind, the book I chose to evaluate was Flora & Ulysses: The Illuminated Adventures by Kate DiCamillo. Flora & Ulysses: The Illuminated Adventures was the 2014 Newbery Medal winner. If I was on the jury for this award, I would have selected this book for the Newbery Medal in 2014. Flora & Ulysses: The Illuminated Adventures is something that many people can relate to. Flora is a ten-year-old girl who enjoys comic books. Her mother, Phyllis, thinks she is a bit strange and tries to encourage her to stop reading comic books. She wants her daughter to have more friends. Phyllis is a writer and she loves a shepherdess lamp almost more than she loves her own daughter. This shows the material possessions people are in love with and how they can sometimes mean more to them than real, living objects. Ultimately, Phyllis wants her daughter to be happy. Flora’s mom and dad, George, are divorced. George thought that Phyllis was too infatuated with writing to give him the love he needed. George was very sad after the divorce, and very lonely as well. It was not until Ulysses, a squirrel that got stuck in a vacuum cleaner and ended up getting superpowers, could make everyone happy and tie everyone back together again through the adventures he made, the ruckus he caused, and the emotions he made others feel. William Spiver, a friend Flora eventually makes that is by Flora’s side throughout the plot, was coping with his mom removing him from his home and he was forced to spend time with his Great Aunt Tootie. William Spiver has a new stepdad, Tyrone, since his dad died. Tyrone does not treat William Spiver as well as his real dad did. William Spiver became upset when Tyrone called him Billy instead of William Spiver, which is what he prefers to be called. William Spiver was so angered by this that he pushed his stepdad's truck into a lake. Also, Dr. Meescham, Flora’s dad’s neighbor, is coping with her husband’s loss and is the voice of reason in the story. She seems like she is stuck in the past.
Why Should This Book Win the Newbery Medal?
Many people can relate to this book on many different levels. It has people coping with loneliness, love, trying to spread happiness, and trying to figure out the complex world we live in. Therefore, since a variety of people can relate to this book, I would vote for it for the Newbery Medal. I believe it is one of the most distinguished American children’s books I have ever read. It is appealing because of the differences displayed in each character, how they are coping with different issues, and how their moods change throughout the story, all due to Ulysses.

City Proceed With Caution - Platt: No Targets
Whereas the mantra from The Stretfords remains one of mind gaming to the hacks over experience, Roberto Mancini's management team remain cautious in their output...
City's 1-6 routing of united rcoked their creaking world to the very core and we are still seeing the aftershocks four months on. It's almost as if senior figures in their ranks are continually striving to remind themselves of who they are, or dare we say it, were. They still hold that hex over some clubs whose players become overawed by the fact that are playing the name Manchester united, but little by little, their invincibility has eroded with each scrape through result, meek cup exit or Taggart wary referee.
At Manchester City, the message from the hierarchy remains the same. Keep calm and carry on playing. Having ridden out a testing Christmas and January, The Citizens have remained top of the league for four months, but as coach David Platt reminds us this week, the job of winning the title is nowhere near done. Have City set the points target that Sir Alex Ferguson spoke of late last year:
'No. How could we do that? We could turn around and say we need x points, but x points might not be enough. We just go into every football match looking to get the points and we see where it takes us.'
Roberto Mancini prepares to lead his side into the remaining twelve league games with the benefit of a close to fully fit squad, save for a couple of knocks to the Toure brothers and Owen Hargreaves.
And all of a sudden The Blues are flowing again, threatening to dish out another big pasting of a rival team any day soon. Ahead of struggling Bolton's visit, Platty gave his view on how the squad is set up right now:
'You can play all the beautiful football you want in front of teams but we have to, in the main, go out and break teams down. What was important against Blackburn was not only did we move it around and keep possession in front of them, but we got into some dangerous areas as well...
'...we have a rotation of the squad, we move it around. We try to do that when we have a full complement of players, to keep everyone nice and healthy...at the end of the day you will keep 11 happy, another seven slightly happy, and the others will be disappointed when they are not playing in a game....To be honest, that is part and parcel of football.'

Syracuse, NY - Crouse Hospital is eliminating 12 jobs, three of them vacant, because of reduced patient volume in some departments and other factorsz.
The job cuts were announced Thursday. Of the nine individuals affected, six are union employees and three are non-union employees, said Bob Allen, a Crouse vice president.
"This is part of our normal evaluation of business operations," he said.
He said all hospitals have seen a decrease in patient volume over the past year related to the recession.
Work flow improvements that lead to greater efficiency were also factors behind the job cuts, Allen said.
Affected union workers may be able to move into other positions, so it's not known yet how many people will be leaving, Allen said.
Crouse is performing well financially, he said. The hospital, which has about 2,600 full-time employees, makes job adjustments on an ongoing basis as patient volumes, reimbursement levels and other economic factors fluctuate, according to Allen.
"We are just trying to do what's responsible so the hospital stays strong," he said.
The union that represents Crouse workers, 1199 SEIU, said in its newsletter the cuts reflect overall pressure on health care in the United States. "Years of bad economic policy and bad health care policy have left patients, health care workers and institutions vulnerable," the union said.

Sterndrive Boat Propeller Selection Guide
Whether you are buying a new propeller for your sterndrive, simply in need of a replacement for a sterndrive prop you damaged, trying to address a performance issue (e.g. being under or over propped) or you simply want to gain better fuel efficiency, Deep Blue Yacht Supply can help you find the perfect propeller for your sterndrive engine.
Choosing the ultimate propeller for your boat is a key factor in performance and choosing the wrong prop can lead to poor fuel efficiency and issues with engine performance including slower speed and increased wear and tear on your sterndrive engine.
The customer is able to use the options to the left hand side of the guide in order to determine what type of propeller assistance is needed. In a couple short questions, we will have our sterndrive propeller recommendations listed for you.
Find All propellers that fit my engine
You will need to know your engine manufacture, model or horsepower to determine which propellers will fit your boat. Once listed, you can then determine the size you are looking for. Deep Blue Yacht Supply is an industry leader when it comes to providing propellers for MerCruiser, OMC, Volvo Penta, and Yamaha sterndrive engines.
Match my current propeller to what is available (OEM)
If you have the current model number of your existing sterndrive propeller, the propeller guide will be able to provide all props that will match your current propeller.
Recommend propeller for my boat
If you know your engine specifications, and the size and speed of your boat, we can make a basic estimation of what propeller size would be needed. Please note however that in most cases you will want a full propeller sizing done if you know nothing about the existing size of the propeller.
Get within suggested RPM range at full throttle
If you know your engine specifications and your current RPM at full throttle, we can determine if you are under or over pitched. Having the right size sterndrive propeller that produces the recommended RPMs at full throttle will give you the best efficiency and speed.
Go from a 3 blade to 4 blade
If you want to gain great fuel efficiency, go to a four blade. If you know your size currently, we can suggest the right 4 blade for your sterndrive engine.

I have always admired lawyers who have managed to break away from the law into other professions. Writing (John Grisham) is the usual route but there is always music (Andrea Bocelli) or acting (Leo Genn). However, while the Gazette was away holidaying I noticed that on 17 August it was the 150th anniversary of the death of a man I have long admired but only recently found out was a lawyer – well, at least he qualified, even if he did not practise for long.
He was French, he designed a bathing costume and had a song written about him, later turned by Johann Strauss II into the waltz Memories of Covent Garden. In that very pretty grey and pink building the Cirque d’Hiver near the Boulevard du Temple there is a plaque commemorating the feat for which he is most famous. On 12 November 1859 Jean Marie Jules Léotard created the art of the flying trapeze. You can’t get much further from the law than that.
The son of a swimming instructor, Léotard was born around 1840 in Toulouse and practised his trapeze routines over the pool his father managed. Until then a trapeze act had been a fairly static affair with the bar used as a swing. Although he qualified for the Paris bar and was thought to have a promising career, he made his first appearance with his father as the catcher in a 12-minute act using three bars at what was then known as the Cirque Napoleon.
With Léotard performing a mid-air somersault, his act was an instant success. There was no safety net and padded mattresses were piled up in the circus ring to break any fall. Two years later he came to London and performed at the Alhambra in Leicester Square, earning what today would be £5,000 a week.
With the trapeze came the one-piece knitted costume that Léotard designed both to allow freedom of movement and to show off his physique. By the 1880s it had become a standard costume for dancers rehearsing.
Léotard died in 1870 after contracting either smallpox or cholera while working in Spain.

This was not cool. President Obama, this was not cool. This lady had something to say, and you dissed her!! 😦
An LBGT immigrant rights activist interrupted President Obama during a speech at a White House reception on Wednesday.
“President Obama, release all LGBTQ immigrants from detention,” said the person who identified as a trans woman.
“I am tired of the violence we’re facing,” the woman told Obama.
Immigrant rights activist identified the woman as Jennicet Gutiérrez, a founding member of FAMILIA TQLM, an immigrant rights organization.
“You shouldn’t be doing this. Can we escort this person out. Can we have this person removed please,” a frustrated Obama said over the microphone.
At one point Vice President Joe Biden held his hands up to his face in frustration for exchange that went on for over a minute.
“There is no pride in how LGBTQ and transgender immigrants are treated in this country. If the…

May 4, the FAA Office of commercial Space Flight issued a finding of ‘no significant effects’ to the environment connected with up to 30 total launches and reentries per year of SpaceShipTwo, for a total of up to 150 launches and reentries of SpaceShipTwo between 2012 and 2016.
This estimation is a conservative number and considers potential multiple launches per day and potential launch aborts.
The FAA would issue experimental permits and/or launch licenses for the operation of SpaceShipTwo and WhiteKnightTwo at the Mojave Air and Space Port in Mojave, Calif. The Mojave Air and Space Port’s existing infrastructure would be used for takeoff and landing activities. Experimental permits would be valid for one year. Launch licenses would be valid for two years.
An analysis of the Proposed Action has concluded that there would be no significant short-term, long-term or cumulative effects to the environment or surrounding populations. Therefore, an Environmental Impact Statement for the Proposed Action is not required.
The agency issued its finding in a new report, “Final Environmental Assessment for the Launch and Reentry of SpaceShipTwo Reusable Suborbital Rockets at the Mojave Air and Space Port and Finding of No Significant Impact.” The report is available on the Internet.
The FAA published a Notice of Availability of the Draft Environmental Assessment in the Federal Register March 13, 2012, which started a 30-day public review and comment period. Interested parties were invited to submit comments on environmental issues and concerns. The public comment period ended April 13, 2012. The FAA did not receive any public comments on the Draft EA. No substantive changes have been made to this Final EA.


2000 Volkswagen new beetle 1.8l turbo
ok so i had the timing belt and water pump replaced. my catalytic converter was stolen while it sat for a few months waiing to have that done. anyways, i got that done and drove it 3 times to worki and back with no issues other than i have to jump it off to crank it, which has me baffled because its not the battery or alternator. wello, the shifter linkage bushions broke the third time i drove itso i spent another 2 weeks parked trying to get that done, but finally i fashioned that back together and slapped the console back on there, checked the fluids and drove it to work with no issues, it even started fine. on the way home though, the mil started flashing and it started running real rough and less power , so i pulled over and googled what it could be... sat there a few hours but no rescue came for me so i had to limp her home, luckily i had the jumper box with me because now its doing that again. the mil didnt flash again until i pulled out on the road and same deal, running rough and less power, it felt like the motor and transmision was having a wrestling match under there! there is way toomuch movement of my engine and i think it is going to fall out. i have a buetooth code scanner thing, but i honestly dont know what to do with mot of the features this thing has. i have the codes though and can try to add the data log if i can find the file... but i know for sure it has p0300 po303p0304, so cylinders 3and 4 a misfiring, and theres a whole lot about o2 sensors and stuff that was already readng that pertain to the cat being gone, i also dont have the fuel cap, and there was already codes before the timing belt replacement about secondary air pump and others that said possible 'short to ground' under explanation but it has never run rough like that and ever since that i have not drove it except for running a fe times just while i was tryig to get help working on it, but nobody will do anything more than tell me to sell it and walk away, or that it is fine andi dont know what im talkig about. so, when i first start it, it seems ok, and mil is only on, but if when i go up the drive by the time i hit 3rd, something happens, rough running, missimg, motor rocking, mil flashing. drop back down 2nd and after a second it calms down aggain. while beginning to check into some of this stuff, learning as i go, i discover MORE ****! thdipstick tube was stuck and broken peieces of plastic were stll there up under the whastever that is, manifold?? i have a couple pics to start with that i need hlp identifying stuff and direction on.. i just need to know that i dont have destroyed heads or blown head gasket, or aother catastrophic fails, i give up on restoring and upkeeping this darn car, i simply cannot do anything with it and am havung the absolute worst strung of bad circumstances piled up all at once and i cant get anywhere bcause this stupid freaking car wont stop breaking and its too hard for me to get it worked on, and i live in a nowhere ass town with nothing available for resources so i am just stuck and homeless and rideless and cant get a ride to work, cant get a ride to get parts that i cant afford! that being said.. i will sell it if anybody would buy it!


Rumored Qualcomm Snapdragon 888 lite could make flagships more affordable, thanks to optional 5G
Qualcomm has a diverse portfolio of mobile computing platforms with most of its products dedicated to smartphones. As one of the biggest mobile semiconductor companies in the world, Qualcomm mobile chipsets cater to the processing needs of Andoird smartphones and tablets across all price brackets. While the Snapdragon 888 is its top-of-the-line mobile processor, the company also released the Snapdragon 870 — a souped-up version of last year’s Snapdragon 865 — to help reduce the prices of flagship killer smartphones. The fact remains that irrespective of its branding, the Snapdragon 870 is a modified version of a last-gen processor. But, a new leak suggests Qualcomm could be working on a lower-end variant of the Snapdragon 888 without an integrated 5G modem to reduce the cost of the chipset without any compromise in performance.
Renowned leaker Roland Quandt shared some details about the purported chipset with model name SM8325. Quandt is confident that a “lower end derivate” of the Qualcomm Snapdragon 888 — which is known by its model name SM8350 — is under development. The said chipset will help manufacturers provide the processing capabilities of the latest processor while also enjoying the option to exclude the pricey mandatory 5G.
Qualcomm has a lower end derivate of the Snapdragon 888 (SM8350) in the works. SM8325 is the model number and there seems to be NO integrated 5G modem on this one. #CheapFlagshipPhones
— Roland Quandt (@rquandt) March 8, 2021
To clarify, this does not mean the purported will lack 5G support at all. While the Snapdragon 888 comes with an integrated Snapdragon X60 5G modem, older flagship chipsets including the Snapdragon 865 and the Snapdragon 865 Plus came without an inbuilt modem. This allowed manufacturers to either add 5G support at an additional cost or skip 5G support to keep the price of their flagship smartphones under a reasonable value. The latter approach was taken by Vivo’s spin-off brand iQOO to launch 4G-only variants of the Snapdragon 865-powered iQOO 3 in India at an incredibly low price.
Quandt does not specify any other details about the processor the leaked chipset might be fabricated using a 5nm process, unlike the Snapdragon 870, which is a 7nm chipset. With this mix-and-match, Qualcomm should be able to render yet another option for smartphone manufacturers to offer flagship-grade performance without 5G in countries where 5G is either not yet available or not much relevant.
It is worth noting that this may not be the same chipset as the alleged Snapdragon 775, which is the company’s upcoming higher mid-range chipset with 5G.
Do you think the said Snapdragon 888 lite version could be a key processor for flagship killers in 2021? Let us know in the comments below!
