10 false facts most people think are true Up until the late 16th century, everyone "knew" that the sun and planets revolved around the Earth. Up until the late 19th century, epidemic illnesses such as cholera and the plague were "known" to be caused by a poisonous mist filled with particles from rotting things. Up until the early 20th century, the most common procedure performed by surgeons for thousands of years was bloodletting, because we "knew" that blood drained from the body balanced the whacky humors responsible for poor health. Well alrighty then. But as misinformed as all that may sound now, our predecessors believed these "facts" with the same certainty that we believe that the Earth is round and hot fudge sundaes make us fat. Living in a time of such dazzling science and technology, we stand firmly behind our beliefs … even if so much of what we think we know to be correct is actually wrong. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10.

A variety of menstrual-related traditions exist. One group of authors has even theorized that menstruation may have played a key role in the development of symbolic culture in early human society.[1] Sacred and powerful[edit] Mythology[edit] Mayan mythology explains the origin of menstruation as a punishment for violating the social rules governing marital alliance. In Judaism and Christianity, the latter derives from the first, it is of the punishment for the disobedience of Eve who would eat of the Forbidden Fruit to know of the difference between good and evil. The history of Nepal’s virgin cult is ancient, and the practice of the revering little girls as goddesses there dates back to before the thirteenth century. Religion[edit] Abrahamic[edit] Most Christian denominations do not follow any specific rituals or rules related to menstruation. Orthodox Christianity[edit] Dharmic religions[edit] Bali[edit]

7 early videos of now-everyday technology It's easy to forget that just a handful of years ago most people didn't have a cellphone, never mind one that's better termed a handheld computer. No one had laptops when I was in college (graduated high school in '96) and few people had broadband connections for years after that. Shoot, jump another decade before that and people were placing their calls using a rotary dial — one painful number at a time. When my father was a boy, technology such as cellphones, iPads and Twitter were still imperfectly defined nascent dreams from the pages of science-fiction magazines and periodicals. Technology is moving increasingly fast. What that means, of course, is that we create videos about technology that end up, years later, being amazingly prophetic, brain-strokingly interesting, or just really funny. Cellphones The first mobile phone service was available in the '40s from AT&T and required 80 pounds of equipment and a service plan that cost the equivalent of more than $300 per month.
Neurological Control - Neurotransmitters - StumbleUpon Neurotransmitter Molecules Neurotransmitters can be broadly split into two groups – the ‘classical’, small molecule neurotransmitters and the relatively larger neuropeptide neurotransmitters. Within the category of small molecule neurotransmitters, the biogenic amines (dopamine, noradrenaline, serotonin and histamine) are often referred to as a discrete group because of their similarity in terms of their chemical properties. Click on the links in the table above to read more about some of the important neurotransmitters. Serotonin Although the CNS contains less than 2% of the total serotonin in the body, serotonin plays a very important role in a range of brain functions. Within the brain, serotonin is localised mainly in nerve pathways emerging from the raphe nuclei, a group of nuclei at the centre of the reticular formation in the Midbrain, pons and medulla.
