Mnemonics and memory improvement / Build Your Memory Online Drum loop Machine Drumbot is the next best thing to a real drummer. Full song loops and tons of grooves. Designed specifically for non-drummers for use as backing tracks during song composition. We've partnered with real drummers, (can you think of a better beat maker?) who've created entire songs, from intro to outro, then organized everything to help you discover that perfect groove. Each of the hand-crafted "songs" consists of a collection of loops (loop set) that all run at the same BPM and are all inter-related. Most loop sets have multiple intro's, verses, chorus', fills, crashes and outros. You can organize these basic building blocks into a unique arrangement that suits your needs. Each of the loop previews (on the left-hand side of drumbot) are about 5-10 seconds -- just long enough to give you a feel for the groove. When you find a groove you like, double-click on it, or click the "Test Drive" button to load the "loop set" into drumbot. Keyboard Shortcuts
Slavoj Zizek: Philosophy - Key Ideas • Key Ideas • Books: A Summary He was born the only child of middle-class bureaucrats (who hoped he would become an economist) on 21 March 1949 in Ljubljana, the capital of Slovenia and, at that time, part of Yugoslavia. Zizek's interest in the films of Hollywood was matched only by a dislike for the films and, particularly, the literature of his own country. Disappointed by this rejection of his talents, Zizek spent the next couple of years in the professional wilderness, undertaking his National Service in the Yugoslav army, and supporting his wife and son as best he could by occasionally translating German philosophy. . Miller conducted open discussions about Lacan in Paris (and he still does), but he also conducted a more exclusive thirty-student seminar at the Ecole de la Cause Freudienne in which he examined the works of Lacan on a page by page basis. At all stages in Zizek's life, then, we can detect the insistence of a theme. Slavoj Zizek's Bibliography Photo credit: Kate Milford
Pay Attention to Your Attention! “Your vision will become clear only when you look into your heart. Who looks outside, dreams. Who looks inside, awakens.” – Carl Jung I just came back from a holiday (holy-day) with my parents for a week. When I was at the Monastery in Nepal, one of the people in the course asked a senior monk, “Why do the monks learn philosophy, moral conducts and monastic life rules for years and then start meditating, and we, ‘westernized people’, have to meditate right from the bat?” First is the sickness of distraction. Second is our environment. Now, I believe there are some ‘free’ medicines to cure the neurotic digesting of life. 1) “All truly great thoughts are conceived by walking.” – Nietzsche Take a walk, preferably in nature, in the morning and on a warm day. 2) “A person who won’t read has no advantage over one who can’t read.” Reading can be a distraction, but the big difference is, you can decide the pace and pause any minute. Meditation is the opposite of distraction. Photo by ryantron

Bullough 5 Ways To Hack Your Brain Into Awesomeness Much of the brain is still mysterious to modern science, possibly because modern science itself is using brains to analyze it. There are probably secrets the brain simply doesn't want us to know. But by no means should that stop us from tinkering around in there, using somewhat questionable and possibly dangerous techniques to make our brains do what we want. We can't vouch for any of these, either their effectiveness or safety. All we can say is that they sound awesome, since apparently you can make your brain... #5. So you just picked up the night shift at your local McDonald's, you have class every morning at 8am and you have no idea how you're going to make it through the day without looking like a guy straight out of Dawn of the Dead, minus the blood... hopefully.
