A teacher will serve at least 22 years in jail for murdering his fiancee and then blackening her reputation with a series of lying excuses. A judge insisted that the parole board would have to account for Andrew Lindo's "extraordinary cunning" in any application for parole from a life sentence.
The 29-year-old showed no emotion as Mr Justice Andrew Smith accused him of a catalogue of heartless deceptions and lack of remorse. The judge said he had been ruthless, cruel and chilling, not only in strangling, battering and stabbing Marie Stewart last December, but in leading a double life and trying to escape the consequences when it fell apart. A jury at Bradford crown court took less than an hour to reject Lindo's claim that he had lost control over Stewart's supposed mistreatment of their young daughter, who was sleeping upstairs at the time of the murder. Smith said: "Your allegations reached new depths in accusing her of mistreating her own daughter. Media.nola.

Advertisement. Researchers Find Memory is Organized in Millisecond Packets. (Originally published by NTNU) September 28, 2011 You're rudely awakened by the phone. Your room is pitch black. It's unsettling, because you're a little uncertain about where you are – and then you remember. Sound like a familiar experience? In a paper published in this week's edition of the journal Nature, researchers at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology's Kavli Institute for Systems Neuroscience describe exactly how the brain reacts in situations like these, during the transition between one memory and the next. Their findings show that memory is divided into discrete individual packets, analogous to the way that light is divvied up into individual bits called quanta.
"The brain won't let itself get confused," says Professor May-Britt Moser, co-director of the university's Kavli Institute. Brain researchers Edvard and May-Britt Moser are trying to understand exactly how the brain works. Cartoon of teleported mouse (Credit: Håkon Fyhn) Original press release. Submarine Cable Map. Brain Plasticity: How learning changes your brain. You may have heard that the brain is plastic. As you know the brain is not made of plastic! Neuroplasticity or brain plasticity refers to the brain’s ability to CHANGE throughout life. The brain has the amazing ability to reorganize itself by forming new connections between brain cells (neurons).
In addition to genetic factors, the environment in which a person lives, as well as the actions of that person, play a role in plasticity. Neuroplasticity occurs in the brain: 1– At the beginning of life: when the immature brain organizes itself.2– In case of brain injury: to compensate for lost functions or maximize remaining functions.3– Through adulthood: whenever something new is learned and memorized Plasticity and brain injury A surprising consequence of neuroplasticity is that the brain activity associated with a given function can move to a different location as a consequence of normal experience, brain damage or recovery.

Are There REALLY More Mobile Phones Than Toothbrushes? | 60 Second Marketer | Tips, Tools and Techniques for Marketers Around the Globe. (A note from Jamie Turner: In Go Mobile, the book I’ve co-authored with Jeanne Hopkins from HubSpot, we discuss an often-repeated statistic that there are more mobile phones in the world than there are toothbrushes.
To confirm this statistic, I asked 60 Second Marketer contributing writer Nicole Hall to do some research on the subject. Her story of how she approached the research and what she learned during the process is fascinating. I’ve asked her to share her journey with members of the 60 Second Marketer community.) If you read a lot about mobile marketing, you’ve probably heard the sensational statistic that more people in the world own a cell phone than own a toothbrush. The Mobile Marketing Association of Asia, where this information originally came from, stated that out of the 6 billion people on the planet, 4.8 billion have a mobile phone while only 4.2 billion own a toothbrush.
This number was fairly easy to find, though different sites often reported the numbers differently.
