Nootropic Nootropics (/noʊ.əˈtrɒpɨks/ noh-ə-TROP-iks), also referred to as smart drugs, memory enhancers, neuro enhancers, cognitive enhancers, and intelligence enhancers, are drugs, supplements, nutraceuticals, and functional foods that improve one or more aspects of mental function, such as working memory, motivation, and attention.[1][2] The word nootropic was coined in 1972 by the Romanian Dr. Corneliu E. Giurgea,[3][4] derived from the Greek words νους nous, or "mind", and τρέπειν trepein meaning to bend or turn.[5] Availability and prevalence[edit] At present, there are only a few drugs which have been shown to improve some aspect of cognition in medical reviews. These drugs are purportedly used primarily to treat cognitive or motor function difficulties attributable to such disorders as Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, Huntington's disease and ADHD. Academic use[edit] Several factors positively and negatively influence the use of drugs to increase cognitive performance. Drugs[edit]
What are the symptoms of bipolar disorder? What is bipolar disorder? Bipolar disorder, also known as manic-depressive illness, is a brain disorder that causes unusual shifts in mood, energy, activity levels, and the ability to carry out daily tasks. Symptoms of bipolar disorder can be severe. They are different from the normal ups and downs that everyone goes through from time to time. Bipolar disorder symptoms can result in damaged relationships, poor job or school performance, and even suicide. But bipolar disorder can be treated, and people with this illness can lead full and productive lives. Bipolar disorder often appears in the late teens or early adult years. Bipolar disorder is not easy to spot when it starts. What are the signs and symptoms of bipolar disorder? People with bipolar disorder experience unusually intense emotional states that occur in distinct periods called "mood episodes." Symptoms of bipolar disorder are described below. Bipolar disorder can be present even when mood swings are less extreme. 1. Genetics
What is Asperger Syndrome? Dr Hans Asperger, an Austrian pediatrician, originally described Asperger’s Syndrome in 1944. The syndrome has more recently been classified as an autistic spectrum disorder. Children and adults with Asperger’s Syndrome have an intellectual capacity within the normal range, but have a distinct profile of abilities that has been apparent since early childhood. The profile of abilities includes the following characteristics: A qualitative impairment in social interaction: Failure to develop friendships that are appropriate to the child’s developmental level. From my clinical experience I consider that children and adults with Asperger’s Syndrome have a different, not defective, way of thinking. Copyright © 2005 Tony Attwood

Paraceratherium Paraceratherium, also commonly known as Indricotherium or Baluchitherium (see taxonomic discussion below), is an extinct genus of gigantic hornless rhinoceros-like mammals of the family Hyracodontidae, endemic to Eurasia and Asia during the Oligocene epoch.[2] It was first discovered in 1910 in Balochistan of what is now Pakistan, hence the name, during an expedition by the English paleontologist and Cambridge University Museum of Zoology director Sir Clive Forster Cooper.[3] Description[edit] Restoration Paraceratherium is regarded as the largest land mammal known, with the largest species having an estimated mean adult mass of 11 t (12 tons)[4] and the largest individual known estimated at 4.8 m (16 ft) tall at the shoulders, 8.0 m (26.2 ft) in length from nose to rump, and 16 t (18 tons) in weight.[5] Paraceratherium was a browsing herbivorous perissodactyl that stripped leaves from trees with its downward-pointing, tusk-like upper teeth that occluded forward-pointing lower teeth.

The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time: the inadequate narrator There is a special type of first-person narrative that requires the reader to supply what the narrator cannot understand. Much of what "happens" in The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time is not grasped by Christopher, its narrator. The reader comprehends, as Christopher never will, the farcical drama of parental discord that he witnesses. Christopher, the book jacket tells you, has Asperger's syndrome, though this is never named in the novel. The "inadequate narrator" is not an established critical term. Narrative inadequacy is not so unusual in fiction. Christopher's peculiar ingenuousness is as much fictional device as medical condition. The inadequate narrator lets us glimpse the inadequacies of all the adults he encounters. Christopher is also detached from his own torments. The irony is that his inadequacy as a guide to human psychology is balanced by a fastidious accuracy in matters of report. · John Mullan is senior lecturer in English at University College London
Behemoth Behemoth (/bɨˈhiːməθ/ or /ˈbiː.əməθ/, also /ˈbeɪ.əmɔːθ/; Hebrew: בהמות, behemoth (modern: behemot)) is a beast mentioned in Job 40:15–24. Suggested identities range from a mythological creature to an elephant, hippopotamus, rhinoceros or crocodile. Some creationists believe it to be a description of a sauropod.[1] Metaphorically, the name has come to be used for any extremely large or powerful entity. Plural as singular[edit] Job 40 is an example of the use of a plural noun suffix to mean "great", rather than plural. Description[edit] Leviathan is identified figuratively with both the primeval sea (Job 3:8, Psalms 74:13) and in apocalyptic literature – describing the end-time – as that adversary, the Devil, from before creation who will finally be defeated. Later Jewish writings[edit] Identity[edit] Since the 17th century CE there have been many attempts to identify Behemoth.
