Memories Can Be Inherited, and Scientists May Have Just Figured out How In Brief Our life experiences may be passed on to our children and our children's children - and now scientists report that they have discovered that this inheritance can be turned on or off. What is Epigenetics? Epigenetics is the study of inherited changes in gene expression…changes that are inherited, but they are not inherent to our DNA. The question, of course, is how are these genetic “memories” passed on? This is the question that a Tel Aviv University (TAU) was seeking to answer when they reportedly discovered the exact mechanism that makes it possible to turn the transference of environmental influences on or off. Understanding the Mechanism According to their study, epigenetic responses that are inherited follow an active process as it gets passed on through generations. “We previously showed that worms inherited small RNAs following the starvation and viral infections of their parents.
Olivenöl - Erkennen Sie die Qualität Veröffentlichung am 16.12.2009 / Aktualisierung am 05.11.2013 (Zentrum der Gesundheit) - Olivenöl schützt bewiesenermaßen die Gesundheit. Forscher entdecken im Öl der mediterranen Frucht immer mehr Substanzen mit teilweise überwältigenden Wirkungen, zum Beispiel bei Brustkrebs, Herzerkrankungen, Diabetes und neuerdings auch bei Depressionen und dem sog. Olivenöl für Ihre Gesundheit Weniger Krebs und Herzinfarkt dank Olivenöl In den Mittelmeerländern sind die Menschen gesünder. In Ländern wie Griechenland, Spanien und Süditalien dient das Olivenöl als Hauptfettquelle. Olivenöl senkt das "böse" Cholesterin Olivenöl enthält einfach ungesättigte Fettsäuren. Das stimmt zwar heute immer noch, nur weiß man inzwischen, dass die mehrfach ungesättigten Fettsäuren das Gesamtcholesterin senken (also nicht nur das „böse“ LDL-Cholesterin, sondern auch das „gute“ und daher sehr nützliche HDL-Cholesterin). Olivenöl senkt Risiko für Tumorbildung und Depressionen Olivenöl für zarte und gesunde Haut Fussnoten
Are Psychedelic Drugs the Achilles' Heel of the Establishment? Back in 2010, I took a winter solstice themed acid trip with my lovely wife, which spawned the impetus for me finally writing my second book (which should be coming out this summer). I realized I needed to start writing said book during the trip because it was the one part of my magickal practice I had been neglecting, my magickal journal. According to some Occultists, this is the most important variable in the equation, so yeah, a pretty big oversight on my part and not something that was occurring to me at all before then. So I woke up the next day, sketched out the outline and got moving. Two and a half years later and it’s finally almost done (it only took me a year to write, finding a decent editor and getting that wrapped up has now taken me far longer, unreal). During this particular neuro-excursion I also had a fairly profound vision embed itself into my psyche seemingly out of nowhere. “People of Earth. This was my channeled communication to humanity.
It’s ‘digital heroin’: How screens turn kids into psychotic junkies Susan* bought her 6-year-old son John an iPad when he was in first grade. “I thought, ‘Why not let him get a jump on things?’ ” she told me during a therapy session. John’s school had begun using the devices with younger and younger grades — and his technology teacher had raved about their educational benefits — so Susan wanted to do what was best for her sandy-haired boy who loved reading and playing baseball. She started letting John play different educational games on his iPad. Eventually, he discovered Minecraft, which the technology teacher assured her was “just like electronic Lego.” Enlarge Image At first, Susan was quite pleased. Still, Susan couldn’t deny she was seeing changes in John. Although that concerned her, she thought her son might just be exhibiting an active imagination. Then, one night, she realized that something was seriously wrong. “I walked into his room to check on him. We now know that those iPads, smartphones and Xboxes are a form of digital drug.

Susann Lange-Mechlen - Gesundheit ist nicht alles, aber ohne Gesundheit ist alles nichts. How To Learn Hacking Copyright © 2014 Eric S. Raymond The “hacking” we'll be talking about in this document is exploratory programming in an open-source environment. Hacking is primarily a style of programming, and following the recommendations in this document can be an effective way to acquire general-purpose programming skills. Note that one can be doing hacking without being a hacker. Hacking doesn't have enough formal apparatus to be a full-fledged methodology in the way the term is used in software engineering, but it does have some characteristics that tend to set it apart from other styles of programming. Hacking is done on open source. The hacking style has been closely associated with the technical tradition of the Unix operating system Recently it has become evident that hacking blends well with the “agile programming” style. Stages of Learning How To Hack Learning to compose music has three stages. The equivalent of playing scales is writing small programs, alone. The Incremental-Hacking Cycle
Boston's EMPath Program Uses Science to Fight Family Poverty - The Atlantic “The Family Carpool Lane Tool,” meanwhile, helps parents and their children align individual and family goals. Working together, they can avoid traffic and cruise through the fast lane. Intergen mentors visit participating families and facilitate conversations that prompt both adults and children to make future-oriented and contextualized decisions, ones that take into account other important domains. Their goal is to help the adults in the families become mentors for themselves and their children. Eventually, they hope, they make their own contributions obsolete. Stephanie Brueck, the senior coordinator of the Intergenerational Mobility Project, recently sat down with a single mom, Ginnelle V., who asked her last name not be used to preserve her family’s privacy, and Ginnelle’s five children, four girls and one boy who range in age from kindergarten through college-aged. Over the last year, Brueck has helped the family think through both personal and family goal-setting.
f.lux: software to make your life better Four neuromyths that are still prevalent in schools – debunked | Teacher Network It is no surprise that many teachers have an interest in neuroscience and psychology since areas such as memory, motivation, curiosity, intelligence and determination are highly important in education. But neuroscience and psychology are complex, nuanced subjects that come with many caveats. Although progress is being made towards understanding what helps and hinders students, there is still a disconnect between the research in labs and what happens in many schools. Many “neuromyths” are rampant in our classrooms, and research suggests that people are often seduced by neuroscientific explanations, even if these are not accurate or even relevant. Lia Commissar, a project manager at the Wellcome Trust, says there are several reasons why neuromyths gain traction: “They seem to persist because they are easy to understand, fit everyday observation, are heavily promoted or are easy to implement. Such myths are a drain on time and money, and it is important to explore and expose them.
