Motor cognition
The concept of motor cognition grasps the notion that cognition is embodied in action, and that the motor system participates in what is usually considered as mental processing, including those involved in social interaction.[1] The fundamental unit of the motor cognition paradigm is action, defined as the movements produced to satisfy an intention towards a specific motor goal, or in reaction to a meaningful event in the physical and social environments. Motor cognition takes into account the preparation and production of actions, as well as the processes involved in recognizing, predicting, mimicking and understanding the behavior of other people. This paradigm has received a great deal of attention and empirical support in recents years from a variety of research domains including developmental psychology, cognitive neuroscience, and social psychology.

Google boggling our brains? Study says humans use internet as their main 'memory'
People remember where to look up information - not the info itselfPeople actively forget information if they think they can look it up laterTests on how people remembered items they would normally Google By Rob Waugh Updated: 23:11 GMT, 25 January 2012 Helping hand? Harvard researchers found that we now use the internet to remember 'for us' - and decide not to store facts if we think we can Google them later The Internet is becoming our main source of memory instead of our own brains, a study has concluded. In the age of Google, our minds are adapting so that we are experts at knowing where to find information even though we don’t recall what it is.
The News by Michael Rosen
Michael Rosen (b. 1946) says he became a children's poet by accident - "I thought I was being an ironic adult poet but children's literature 'claimed' me". He has since become a very well-known poet, for adults as well as children, and also writes plays; he has worked in television and radio too, in programmes from Home Truths to Playschool. He is a winner of the Eleanor Farjeon Award for Children's Literature and the National Literacy WOW Award, has received an honorary doctorate from the Open University, and has been involved in one way or another with more than a hundred books. This recording, though, is taken from just three of those books: his Book of Nonsense, Even More Nonsense, and In the Colonie.
Networks, Crowds, and Markets: A Book by David Easley and Jon Kleinberg
In recent years there has been a growing public fascination with the complex "connectedness" of modern society. This connectedness is found in many incarnations: in the rapid growth of the Internet and the Web, in the ease with which global communication now takes place, and in the ability of news and information as well as epidemics and financial crises to spread around the world with surprising speed and intensity. These are phenomena that involve networks, incentives, and the aggregate behavior of groups of people; they are based on the links that connect us and the ways in which each of our decisions can have subtle consequences for the outcomes of everyone else. Networks, Crowds, and Markets combines different scientific perspectives in its approach to understanding networks and behavior. The book is based on an inter-disciplinary course that we teach at Cornell. The book, like the course, is designed at the introductory undergraduate level with no formal prerequisites.

How to add your clickable map into Joomla
For some reason it’s not so easy just to add your image map code into your Joomla page using the default WYSIWYG TinyMice Editor. Even when you think you can edit in ‘source’ mode the editor strips away the image map ‘area’ tags that are essential for a clickable map to work. Also some other editors other than TinyMice may behave differently. The quickest and most efficient way around this problem is to find a plug in that can be installed into Joomla 1.5+ that will make it possible to use these tags safely. I recommend installing the excellent DirectPhp Joomla Plugin at By including the clickablemaps.com code inside a php file… DirectPhp will allow the script to run without error.
