CONDE DUQUE LIBRARY ...
2007-03-26 21:07:00
... in the center of Madrid, and just minutes away from where I live,is where i spend my afternoons at the moment.This is the courtyard of Conde Duque Center. The wall you can see there shows a piece of artby Monica Rodriguez, called Des Cartes. It's made up of 224.000 playing cards, giving a reallynice effect when it's dawning. They put up a floodlight and as one side of the cards is golden, itlooks really cool.Thanks to Popi 1909 for the photo. It's a really good place if you want to retreat and learn.Mostly quiet - but you shouldn't come later than 4.Even though it's not exam time for the majority of universities here,it's getting quite packed.Opening times are from 8.30 to 21.00 on weekdays.Still have to find out for Saturdays.

TOWARDS THE FIRST REVOLUTION IN MIND SCIENCES
2007-03-25 21:00:00
Wanted to share this great video with you.(approx. 55 min, with some questions at the end)."Galileo took a seminal role in launching the first revolution in the physical sciences,and a key element in this revolution was the rigorous,sophisticated observation of physical phenomena.Darwin likewise launched a revolution in the life scienceson the basis of decades of meticulous observation of biological phenomena.Although scientists have been studying the mind for more than a century,no comparable revolution has taken place in the mind sciences,and the missing element that may account for this delayed revolutionis the absence of rigorous, precise observations of mental phenomena.By integrating the third-person methodologies of the cognitive scienceswith the first-person methods for examining the mindthat have been developed in Buddhism and other contemplative traditions,our present generation may bring about the first revolution in the mind sciences."B.

SUMMER TRAVEL I
2007-03-25 15:42:00
If I get my internship on time and I only have to work for 3-4 months, I'll be travelling to Asia this summer.Backpacking on my own.The countries I'd like to visit are Vietnam, Kambodja, Laos and Thailand. All depends on how much time I'll have. With 4 weeks only, I'll probably just do two of them. With some more time, the others, too.
