It irks me that it is so easy to believe a lie or half truth than it is to believe an actual truth. The media, in particular, makes things sound so truthful, yet they can be so far from it. So, I thought I would spend a few blogs busting some myths...

"The Ethics of Internet Piracy" by Peter Singer | Project Syndicate

Exit from comment view mode. Click to hide this space PRINCETON – Last year, I told a colleague that I would include Internet ethics in a course that I was teaching. She suggested that I read a recently published anthology on computer ethics – and attached the entire volume to the email. http://www.project-syndicate.org/commentary/the-ethics-of-internet-piracy
http://www.independent.co.uk/news/education/education-news/education-degrees-that-almost-guarantee-jobs-1295023.html Prospective students still agonising over their UCAS form or whether to take on the increased financial commitment of studying for a degree can get some useful advice from What Do Graduates Do 1998, out next week. Not only does the guide tell you what last year's graduates did, it also spells out which subjects lead where in an increasingly volatile employment market in which a "career for life" is a thing of the past. The guide is written by a group of careers advisers and based on the annual graduate employment survey carried out by the Higher Education Careers Service Unit (CSU) in Manchester. And its main message is encouraging.

Medieval Occupation Idea for LARPing

ACROBATS and ACTORS Acrobats and Actors were important parts of Medieval life. The traveling circus (as we still know it today) originated long before the Middle Ages and was a great source of entertainment, morale and revenue for towns and cities. As most people lacked formal education and could not read, actors were important to portray various roles that told of topical and historical events. Though not much training was available for these jobs, those who held the positions were not highly regarded in social circles. An Apothecarist was one trained and skilled in the arts of formal medicine. http://www.badgersden.com/MT/MdvlOccupation.htm
A study published today in PLoS provides surprising new insight into what happens in depressed brains. In people with depression , brain regions appear to be overly connected to one another, says the study, which comes out of UCLA’s Semel Institute for Neuroscience and Human Behavior. In turn, this excessive connectivity reduces the flexibility the brain needs to function properly. “Depression is a whole brain disease,” says Dr. Andrew Leuchter, the Semel Institute neuroscientist who led the team that produced the study. “It’s not something that affects just one brain region, but that the entire organ doesn’t appear to be functioning very well.” http://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2012/02/21/depression-is-linked-to-hyper-connectivity-of-brain-regions-a-new-study-shows0.html

2011 oli üks veider aasta, palju rõõmu ja suurt kurbust läbisegi. Ka muusikaliselt oli läinud aasta uskumatult erinevate helide kooslus, millest murdosa olen kokku seadnud käesolevaks miksteibiks. Hea muusika küllus oli tõeline väljakutse sättimaks ritta just neid lugusid, mis valituks osutusid.
