Tayer and I leaned into the strong wind that suddenly whipped through Central Park, and he told me, “Jeanne, sniff the wind. " I joined him in taking great snorts of wind. “The same wind may once have been sniffed by Jesus Christ (sniff). by Alexander the Great (sniff), by Napoleon (sniff), by Voltaire (sniff), by Marie Antoinette (sniff)!” (There seemed to be a lot of French people in that wind.) It was wonderful. He wasn’t merely a great appreciator, engaged by all his senses. I remember one occasion when he was quietly watching a very old woman watching a young boy play a game. “Well. . .yeah. sure, why not?”
But perhaps the most extraordinary thing about Mr. The last time that I ever saw him was the Thursday before Easter Sunday, 1955. “Au revoir, Mr. For some reason.

The Biological Advantage of Being Awestruck - by @JasonSilva. Stunning Self-Portraits by a 17-Year-Old (18 photos) Like Valerie Chiang or Kalie Garrett, Alex Stoddard is one of those talented teenage photographers who knows how to express themselves.
His self-portraits are all incredibly unique and after viewing them you're left wondering where he's going to take you next. What I enjoy most is that you can almost feel his passion come through. His commitment to not only executing on an idea but doing it well, is apparent to anyone who sees his photos. I got in touch with Alex to ask him a few questions, including how his style evolved while taking on the 365 project. Into the Mandelbrot set we go....and back out. Happiness Gene Located - Medical News Today. A gene which regulates the movement of serotonin in the brain has been labeled the "happiness gene" by researchers from the London School of Economics and reported in the Journal of Human Genetics.
This is the first study to demonstrate a direct link between an individual's happiness and a specific genetic condition. The researchers measured people's satisfaction with life to define happiness. Behavioral economist Jan-Emmanuel De Neve, and team gathered genetic information from over 2,500 individuals in the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent Health. They focused on which functional variant of the 5-HTT gene the participants possessed. The 5-HTT gene has the operating code for serotonin transporters within our neuron cell walls. "It has long been suspected that this gene plays a role in mental health but this is the first study to show that it is instrumental in shaping our individual happiness levels.

By Damien Gayle Published: 17:25 GMT, 14 November 2012 | Updated: 17:25 GMT, 14 November 2012 A mathematically inspired sculptor has demonstrated how to slice a single bagel into two interlocking halves with one long slice.
George Hart, who holds a PhD from MIT, explains how by making a sweeping cut around the bagel, with the cutting surface following a two-twist Möbius strip you get 'two equal halves which are linked like two links of a chain'. But Dr Hart explains that the best part of the trick comes when you slather the two bagel halves with cream cheese. 'In additional to the intellectual stimulation, you get more cream cheese, because there is slightly more surface area,' he said.

Table of Contents Introduction The body’s trillion or so cells face formidable threats, from lack of food to infection with a virus. Another constant threat comes from nasty chemicals called free radicals. They are capable of damaging cells and genetic material. The body generates free radicals as the inevitable byproducts of turning food into energy.
Free radicals come in many shapes, sizes, and chemical configurations. We aren’t defenseless against free radicals. There are hundreds, probably thousands, of different substances that can act as antioxidants. But using the term “antioxidant” to refer to substances is misleading. Health Benefits of Antioxidants: What’s the Buzz? Antioxidants came to public attention in the 1990s, when scientists began to understand that free radical damage was involved in the early stages of artery-clogging atherosclerosis and may contribute to cancer, vision loss, and a host of other chronic conditions.
