Why Do People Sleepwalk?
2008-05-12 14:33:00 If you've been recently rescued from sleepwalking, here's a possible reason why you went zombie - lack of sleep.Sleepwalkers should keep a regular bedtime to avoid unwanted evening strolls, said Antonio Zadra Universite de Montreal, who led a team that recently investigated the link between sleep loss and sleepwalking. Somnambulism, which affects up to 4 percent of adults, can cause mental confusion, bouts of amnesia and even physical injuries in those affected as they wander.Sleepwalking is common in kids, but usually they outgrow it, says Dr. Vishesh Kapur, director of the University of Washington Sleep Disorders Center at Harborview Medical Center.In the February 2008 issue of the journal Annals of Neurology, Zadra, Mathieu Pilon and Jacques Montplaisir explain how they evaluated 40 suspected sleepwalkers. Each was referred to the Sleep Research Centre at Sacre-Coeur Hospital, a Universite de Montreal teaching hospital, between August 2003 and March 2007."Our study found that s...

Psychology and 'Human Nature' (Psychology Focus) ??????
2008-04-03 01:22:00 Psychology and 'Human Nature' (Psychology Focus) ??????# Author:Peter Ashworth # Format:PDF 6.5MB# Page Count: 208 pages# Publisher: Routledge; 1 edition (November 3, 2000)# Language: English# ISBN-10: 0415213002# ISBN-13: 978-0415213004Psychology and Human Nature problematizes what psychology usually takes for granted-the meaning of the psyche or 'human nature'. The author provides a coherent account of many of the major schools of thought in psychology and its related disciplines, including: sociobiology and evolutionary psychology, psychoanalysis, cognitive psychology, radical behaviourism, existentialism, discursive psychology and postmodernism. For each approach he considers the claims or assumptions being made about 'human nature', especially regarding issues of consciousness, the self, the body, other people and the physical world.

Going over the top
2008-03-20 03:47:00 On the afternoon of October 24, 1901, several thousand people watched as a large wooden barrel careered through violent rapids towards Niagara's Horseshoe Falls. Swept along by the current, the cask disappeared over the edge. Seconds later the barrel rose up to the surface in the calmer waters 54 m (160 ft) below: it had survived its battering. And miraculously, for the fist time in Niagara's long history of daredevils, so had its passenger.Strapped and cushioned inside, school teacher Anna Edson Taylor had just celebrated her 43rd birthday with a death-defying plunge into the history books. Taylor was shocked and badly shaken and had a gash in her head; but she was alive, conscious, and within a few days had fully recovered.Anna Taylor's bravery did not bring her the cascade of riches she had hoped, and she died penniless in 1921. She is buried in a 'stunters' section of Niagara Falls' Oakwood cemetery, remembered still as the first person - and only woman ever - to survive t...

The Blank Slate: The Modern Denial of Human Nature ??? ??-<<????>&

This book returns to that still-controversial territory in order to shore it up in the public sphere. Drawing on decades of research in the "sciences of human nature," Pinker, a chaired professor of psychology at MIT, attacks the notion that an infant's mind is a blank slate, arguing instead that human beings have an inherited universal structure shaped by the demands made upon the species for survival, albeit with plenty of room for cultural and individual variation. For those who have been following the sciences in question incl...

Bonobos and the Politics of Human Nature
2007-08-09 16:43:00 Frans de Waal responds in the ongoing debate over human destinyAs I wrote earlier in Bonobo (Re)Visions, Ian Parker?s ?exposé? in the New Yorker was beautifully written but wrong on many levels. Now the straw man who Parker claims to have torn down, primatologist Frans de Waal, answers his polemical critic with a new piece in eSkeptic.What was particularly interesting in the fallout from the original article was how widely the New Yorker piece was referenced by conservative pundits (who often view the magazine as synonymous with the Communist party). Parker turned his romp through the jungle into an attack piece that conservatives could rally behind - if bonobos aren?t as peace loving as we thought then we must be destined to be violent and patriarchal.Dinesh D?Souza, the Hoover Institution Fellow who joined the Jerry Fallwell loony bin when he blamed 9/11 on liberals, wrote on his blog thatSupposedly bonobos are bisexual apes who engage in incessant and indiscriminate sexual acti...

Survival Of The Fittest
2007-07-10 09:36:00 Darwin once proposed a very famous theory, "survival of the fittest". The phrase is a shorthand of a concept relating to competition of survival or predominance. Originally applied by Herbert Spencer in his Principles of Biology of 1864, Spencer drew parallels to his ideas of economics with Charles Darwin's theories of evolution by what Darwin termed natural selection.The phrase is a metaphor, not a scientific description; and it is not generally used by biologists, who almost exclusively prefer to use the phrase "natural selection".While the British economist Herbert Spencer is often credited with introducing the phrase "survival of the fittest" in his 1851 work Social Statics (relating to free market economics) or his First Principles of a New system of Philosophy of 1862, he actually did not use the phrase until after reading Darwin's Origin of Species. and introduced it in his Principles of Biology of 1864, vol. 1, p. 444, writing "This survival of the fittest, which I have he...

Human Nature?
2007-07-04 05:12:00 Have you ever blame anyone for something? Have you ever wonder why did you blame this person? Was it really his/her fault? Or was it just your brain justifying that she/he was guilty to cover your guilt? I guess it is really easy to blame other people for your mistake(s). This is really common, so wise men call it human nature. It is as human as eating, drinking, making friends, or even the need to have a partner in life (partner in crime not included).Take this for an example. In my office we have a server, and I am working in a department where we build software for the company to use and manage the daily works. But sometimes a lot of users just blaming our department whenever the software doesn't work. Maybe they have forgotten that aside from the software there are also what they called hardware, which includes the server itself, networking, or even the user's computer. These what make the software works, and it is not otherwise. So to have the software working properly as you...

Is Helping Others Good For You?
2007-06-04 15:12:00 The warm feeling you get from making someone feel better may prolong your own life. A 14-year study of 2,700 people in Tecumseh, Michigan, found a decline in the mortality rate of men who did volunteer work, compared with that of men who didn't. Another study, at Harvard, showed a rise in disease-fighting antibodies in the saliva of students seeing a film about the work among Calcutta's (now Kolkata) poor of Mother Teresa (died in 1997), one of the most admired altruists of this or any other era.From surveys of people regularly involved in helping others, the picture emerges of altruism lightening depression and bringing increased energy. Many volunteers speak of a "helper's calm" much like the runner's high that comes with exercise. Helping people, like exercise, seems to have a calming effect on the brain and body and may reduce heart stress by curbing anger and irritability.
Human Nature
2007-06-03 18:54:00 Some recent events have led me to reading up on Narcissistic Personality Disorder. It's a fascinating little syndrome. Did you know for example, purely as an aside, that its diagnosis can more commonly be found in confidence tricksters or stalkers? I imagine this is something to do with the total lack of empathy required to take a cold advantage of others as a means to their own whimsical and often juvenile ends, or the absence of any apparent instinct to apologise or demonstrate remorse for their behaviour afterwards. It must be wonderfully reassuring to live in a Solipsism. I'm quite envious. It was at this point that I particularly enjoyed discovering the irony of having been unconsciously applying the definitions to myself as I read through them. It left me wondering if genuine Narcissistic Personalty Disorder can only ever be, by its nature, self-diagnosed. I was never overly keen on Narcissus as a flower. It always seemed a little too commonplace for me - a little too eve...
Inspiration & Devotionals :: On Human Nature
2007-05-17 14:21:00 Author: NewsFeeder Subject: On Human Nature Posted: Thu May 17, 2007 8:21 am (GMT -4) Although John Stuart Mill's essay "On Liberty" was published in 1859, it continues to influence our thinking today, particularly the idea that human beings are essentially good. "Don't tell me how to live!" essentially sums up Mill's view of liberty, yet in his essay Mill not only tells us how we should live, but who we are! Human beings are essentially good, he declares, and his view of liberty hinges upon this idealistic perspective of human nature. Mill writes, "To say that one person's desires and feelings are stronger and more various than those of another is merely to say that he has more of the raw material of human nature, and is therefore capable, perhaps of more evil, but certainly of more good." However, many theologians and philosophers of Mill's era were skeptical of the individual's passions and one's willingn...
An analysis of human nature
2007-04-20 10:16:00 My first book invites readers to examine different facits of human nature. This is an approach to promote personal growth and improved health and well-being. I systematically explore select human emotions, ambitions and life experiences for the benefit of people who seek to better know themselves and make uplifting self-discoveries. If you choose to take the journey with me, you will simultaneously be on a journey to clarity and increased self-awareness.Unbeknownst to you, reasons exist for why you make choices and actively or subconsciously shape your life experience. Whether or not you recognize what you're doing and why remains to be seen, doesn't it? Writing exercises can draw out parts of yourself which may have seemed dead or buried. What you may not know on a conscious level will be drawn out of your soul. Develop courage and join me.How often do you question your range of abilities and the scope of your vision? It may be time to reframe your perception and invite other mea...

HUMAN Nature - update
2006-12-15 16:40:05 As you know the PUMA HUMAN Nature was this past weekend and PUMATALK brings you the update. Columbian Artist, Federico Uribe created a 4000 sq ft exhibit entitled Human Nature, which was made entirely out of 750 pairs of PUMA shoes and thousands of laces. Federico created the installation showcasing life-sized predatory animals in their natural forest environment and showcased the exhibit during Art Basel Miami Beach. PUMA donated the product to Uribe over a course of six months while he created the concept and design of the exhibit. Uribe, is known for us transformation of everyday objects into art. So here are a few images of the event donated by our homie Gabe @ PUMA. I noticed a few Mihara’s in the artwork, that was pretty dope, I’m totally full blown by Federico’s work.

The HUMAN NATURE (which runs only from Dec 7th to Dec 10th) installation made entirely out of PUMA footwear. The Jungle installation includes predatory life size animals in action and surrounded by a forest. HUMAN NATURE challenges the individual to see the violent, predatory, arrogant and blindly self destructive characteristic of nature. His works adopts a hybrid character that creates resistance to classification. Uribe is a conceptual artist resorting to the language of pop art through the use of objects of daily life, but with a formal reference to the history and tradition of classical art. So for all of you in the Miami, FL area who are either sneaker lover or freaks for this kind of stuff come out and check this out!!! Also for all of you Latin Americans please come and support your fellow Columbian artist! Here is the leaflet for the event and be sure to chec...
Humans vs human nature
2006-12-02 15:05:02 Several years ago, I participated regularly in a chatroom, one of whose regulars was so well-known for snacking non-stop that when he logged in the 1st comment addressed to him after "hello" was usually "what are you eating?". The subject of dieting came up one day, and this man who probably hadn't gone more than half an hour without eating in 20 years broke into the discussion of how difficult it was to lose weight and keep it off to proclaim "Losing weight is easy-all you have to do is put down your fork." This man who had no idea what hunger was, much less the gut-twisting agony that accompanies prolonged restriction of caloric intake, honestly thought that you could just decide to stop eating and weight-loss would follow.You're probably puzzled, or even astounded, that anyone could be so stupid, not to mention insensitive... but wait, haven't you ever looked at an obese person and had vaguely disgusted thoughts about how they must lack any shred of self-control to have ove...

Faith In Human Nature
1970-01-01 00:59:00 Just occasionally, something happens that restores my faith in human nature. We've just supplied a candy floss cart for a marketing event in the Lancashire town of Chorley. We were hired to give out free candy floss for St Valentines day in conjunction with a shopping precinct. Now normally when undertaking events of this type the conversation runs like this; "How much is your candy floss?" "It's complimentary sir" "Yes but how much is it?" "It is free" "Oh, in that case I will take three bags, might as well if it's free" This time however things were different, those people with more than one kid seemed genuinely embarrassed when they asked if they could take another bag, and I lost count of how many people on being told the candy floss was free, asked if we had a charity collection tin they could put some money in. That's the first time I can remember receiving a reaction like that. Dodgems Available For Any Event, Nationwide postCount('84'); | postCountTB('84'); |
