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...

Locator chips keep track of students in Brazil
SAO PAULO (AP) — Grade-school students in a northeastern Brazilian city are using uniforms embedded with locator chips that help alert parents if they're cutting classes, the city's education secretary said Thursday. Twenty thousand students in 25 of Vitoria da Conquista 's 213 public schools started using T-shirts with chips earlier this week, secretary Coriolano Moraes said by telephone. By 2013, all of the city's 43,000 public school students , aged 4 to 14, will be using the chip-embedded T-shirts, he added. Radio frequency chips in "intelligent uniforms" let a computer know when children enter school and it sends a text message to their cell phones."The Ethics of Internet Piracy" by Peter Singer

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.

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. top of page APOTHECARIST An Apothecarist was one trained and skilled in the arts of formal medicine.
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.”

“Music helps me concentrate,” Mike said to me glancing briefly over his shoulder. Mike was in his room writing a paper for his U.S. History class. On his desk next to his computer sat crunched Red Bulls, empty Gatorade bottles, some extra pocket change and scattered pieces of paper. In the pocket of his sweat pants rested a blaring iPod with a chord that dangled near the floor, almost touching against his Adidas sandals. On his computer sat even more stray objects than his surrounding environment.
