The Science of Memory (and 4 Uncommon Ways to Enhance It) I have a pretty bad memory, it seems. I know people say that all the time, but here’s why I think it actually applies to me: In pretty much all of my childhood memories, I’m around 10 years old, as if nothing ever happened before that.My poor co-founder, Josh, has to replay almost entire conversations before I recall having had them. On a regular basis.Unless my high school was running way off the curriculum, I just don’t remember anything I learned there. Everytime someone asks me about a high-school level concept in science, or maths or even something I should know as a writer, like what a past participle is, I draw a blank. It’s a bit of a struggle having a bad memory. Since I’ve been reading and writing more about the brain, memory is one area that’s really fascinated me, because I’d like to improve mine. How memory works Creating memories, like learning new things, is all about creating and strengthening connections between the neurons in our brains (called synapses):

El planeta está enfermo. Descubre las causas Desde el Neolítico (12.000 años antes de Cristo) las sociedades consumen a un ritmo cada vez más voraz todo lo que conocemos como recursos naturales. Resulta que este consumo desde entonces ha sido agresivo, hostil. A un ritmo acelerado, se busca todo y a cualquier precio el crecimiento económico, ya que éste es mal interpretado como sinónimo de progreso. Por esta razón, se cortan los árboles, se queman bosques, se contaminan el aire y el agua, y se destruyen los ecosistemas. No hay lugar a dudas que la actividad económica ha sido muy agresiva cuando se trata de extraer recursos, desarrollar procesos de producción y post-consumo final, y producir desechos, comprometiendo, grosso modo, la capacidad del planeta Tierra para enfrentar esta situación. En otras palabras, esto puede ser traducido como la era de la “economía destructiva”. Es la necesidad de crecimiento económico versus la capacidad de la Tierra para ofrecer condiciones soportables para responde a esto. La economía suicida.

This is What Heavy Multitasking Could Be Doing To Your Brain Multitasking may affect crucial areas of the brain’s emotional and cognitive centres. Using laptops, phones and other media devices at the same time could be shrinking important structures in our brains, a new study may indicate. For the first time, neuroscientists have found that people who use multiple devices simultaneously have lower gray-matter density in an area of the brain associated with cognitive and emotional control (Loh & Kanai, 2014). Multitasking might include listening to music while playing a video game or watching TV while making a phone call or even reading the newspaper with the TV on. Kep Kee Loh, the study’s lead author, said: “Media multitasking is becoming more prevalent in our lives today and there is increasing concern about its impacts on our cognition and social-emotional well-being.Our study was the first to reveal links between media multitasking and brain structure.” The researchers found that this association had nothing to do with personality.

FRACKED UP!: Hollywood,Interrupted Visits America’s New Boomtown | Hollywood, Interrupted Three hundred miles due north of Deadwood, South Dakota and roughly half as many years past its 1870s heyday, a new gold rush is threatening to give that storied spectacle of exuberant capitalism a run for its money. In a country with an unofficial underemployment rate of 20%, the tiny railroad whistle-stop of Williston, North Dakota near the Montana border (population 17,000 and spiking) is currently at capacity: There’s not a motel room to be had in the city, housing prices are double what they were a year ago ($300,000 for a two-bedroom home), and the daily onslaught of new arrivals is reduced to living in their cars, RVs, sporadic tent cities or the rapidly proliferating “man camps” – clusters of trailers in an open field that pack in oil patch workers dormitory style, sometimes six to a room. Access to running water and simple sanitation is so rare that public businesses have had to lock their bathrooms to discourage makeshift sponge baths or the dumping of wastewater.

Así será la planta solar más grande del mundo construida sobre el mar Kyocera Corp tiene planificado empezar a construir a finales de este año en Japón, la planta solar msa grande del mundo sobre el mar. Aunque no especifican el tamaño real que tendrá la planta, nos adelantan que será capaz de generar una potencia de 2,9MW. Para crear esa estructura se hace uso de la tecnología Hydrelio de la empresa francesa Ciel&Terre International, que tiene plantas en Francia con más de tres años de prueba. En Hydrelio se emplea polietileno de alta densidad, resistente a las condiciones que se va a encontrar en contacto con el agua: corrosión, rayos ultravioletas. Fuente: TechOn

Savvy Psychologist : 7 Myths About Suicide The media frenzy is starting to settle after the tragic suicide of Robin Williams. Some of the coverage, I was happy to see, was sensitive and compassionate, while some was just plain irresponsible, sensationalistic, and full of specific details-- all of which can put vulnerable people at risk, and perpetuate misinformation. So, this week on the Savvy Psychologist, we’ll set right 7 myths about suicide. Myth #1: People Who Attempt Suicide Are Just Trying to Get Attention / It’s a Cry for Help Fact: Most individuals who attempt or complete suicide—over 90%—are suffering from a mental illness. Framing suicide as a method to get attention paints those who are sick as manipulative, when in fact, they are simply really ill. Sponsor: This episode is brought to you by lynda.com. lynda.com is an easy and affordable way to help individuals and organizations learn. Myth #2: Suicide is Selfish This despondent trio shouts so loudly that any whispers of hope, efficacy, or worth get drowned out.

No, you're not entitled to your opinion Every year, I try to do at least two things with my students at least once. First, I make a point of addressing them as “philosophers” – a bit cheesy, but hopefully it encourages active learning. Secondly, I say something like this: “I’m sure you’ve heard the expression ‘everyone is entitled to their opinion.’ A bit harsh? The problem with “I’m entitled to my opinion” is that, all too often, it’s used to shelter beliefs that should have been abandoned. Firstly, what’s an opinion? Plato distinguished between opinion or common belief (doxa) and certain knowledge, and that’s still a workable distinction today: unlike “1+1=2” or “there are no square circles,” an opinion has a degree of subjectivity and uncertainty to it. You can’t really argue about the first kind of opinion. Meryl Dorey is the leader of the Australian Vaccination Network, which despite the name is vehemently anti-vaccine. So what does it mean to be “entitled” to an opinion?

Conoce la casa que genera toda la energia que necesita Sunlighthouse fue construida con el objetivo de demostrar que es posible construir viviendas eficientes, sustentables y sin alterar el modo de vida de las personas. Es por esto que una vez terminado el proceso de edificación, una familia fue invitada a vivir, durante un año, para poner a prueba este proyecto. Situada en una zona boscosa y montañosa de Pressbaum, Austria, Sunlighthouse es un proyecto de casa unifamiliar diseñada por el arquitecto austriaco Hein-Troy Architekten y que, como proyecto eficiente, ha recibido el Premio Estatal Austríaco de Medio Ambiente y Tecnologías Energéticas. El diseño de esta vivienda aprovecha el entorno. Sunlighthouse se encuentra en una pendiente empinada y parcialmente sombreada. Las montañas cercanas aportan sombras naturales, por lo que la sala de estar cuenta con grandes ventanas de techo que dan luz al centro de la habitación. La distribución de las ventanas asegura niveles de luz natural en los dos pisos de la casa.

The cognitive cost of sleep lost. Dog stuck in a dog (1 HQ Photo) I received a story from Tim West this morning. He noticed a very awkward occurrence on his way to work today, “I was driving through Delano, CA this morning and I came across the strangest thing I’ve seen. I saw these two dogs trotting down the street, ass-to-ass, and I wondered what the hell. I pulled over and upon further inspection I found the larger dogs swollen and engorged penis was stuck inside the smaller chihuahua female dog. Japón crea islas de energía solar Japón busca poner fin a la dependencia de la energía nuclear por lo que ha creado ya tres "islas" o plantas solares que flotan al sur del país, una de ellas ya está aportando 70 MW de electricidad, abrió el año pasado y dos se están realizando en estos momentos y se abrirán próximamente. El país está muy densamente poblado y el valor de la tierra es muy elevado, por eso optaron por el mar que es en gran parte utilizable y tiene sentido poner allí las plantas de energía flotantes. Dos grandes empresas de Japón anunciaron recientemente que van a iniciar la construcción de dos islas solares más grandes que flotarán en embalses. A fines del 2013, se inauguró la planta más grande que posee una capacidad de 70 megavatios y que la realizó el fabricante de teléfonos inteligentes: Kyocera Kagoshima Nanatsujima Mega Solar Power y que se encuentra flotando en el mar de la costa del sur de Japón. Para Japón la respuesta es el mar. Parte de la belleza de la energía solar es lo fácil que es de usar.
