The Port of Rotterdam has dredged the Maasgeul channel to enable large-sized in-bound & out-bound vessels to pass.
Large container ships can now pass each other when entering and leaving the port of Rotterdam. The Directorate-General for Public Works and Water Management recently widened the Maasgeul for this purpose by a good 250 metres. Sea-going ships with a draught of more than 14.4 metres can only enter or leave the port of Rotterdam via this navigation channel.
The widening of the Maasgeul was designed especially for container ships. These ships are becoming increasingly larger so that more containers can be transported at the same time. The Port of Rotterdam Authority also expects container throughput to grow in the future. But not only container ships will benefit from the widening, the waiting times for other large sea-going ships, such as tankers and bulk carriers, will also be cut.
The widening of the Maasgeul was achieved in six months' time: around 350,000 cubic metres of clay, sand and peat were dredged from the sea floor to a depth of 21 metres. The Directorate-General for Public Works and Water Management will maintain the new section of the navigation channel. If the channel becomes too shallow because it silts up, dredgers will bring it back to the right depth.

Chapter 17. Learning and Memory
Follow us on Facebook and Twitter, or subscribe to our mailing list, to receive news updates. Learn more.
By DAVID L. KIRP Whenever President Obama proposes a major federal investment in early education, as he did in his two most recent State of the Union addresses, critics have a two-word riposte: Head Start. Researchers have long cast doubt on that program's effectiveness. The most damning evidence comes from a 2012 federal evaluation that used gold-standard methodology and concluded that children who participated in Head Start were not more successful in elementary school than others. That finding was catnip to the detractors. "Head Start's impact is no better than random," The Wall Street Journal editorialized. Why throw good money after bad? Though the faultfinders have a point, the claim that Head Start has failed overstates the case. For one thing, it has gotten considerably better in the past few years because of tougher quality standards. For another, researchers have identified a "sleeper effect" — many Head Start youngsters begin to flourish as teenagers, maybe because the program emphasizes character and social skills as well as the three R's. Still, few would give Head Start high marks, and the bleak conclusion of the 2012 evaluation stands in sharp contrast to the impressive results from well-devised studies of state-financed prekindergartens. Head Start, a survivor of President Lyndon B. Johnson's war on poverty, enrolls only poor kids. That's a big part of the problem — as the adage goes, programs for the poor often become poor programs. Whether it's health care (compare the trajectories of Medicare, for those 65 and older of all incomes, and Medicaid, only for the poor), education or housing, the sorry truth is that "we" don't like subsidizing "them." Head Start is no exception. It has been perpetually underfunded, never able to enroll more than half of eligible children or pay its teachers a decent wage. If Head Start is going to realize its potential, it has to break out of the antipoverty mold. One promising but unfortunately rarely used strategy is to encourage all youngsters, not just poor kids, to enroll, with poor families paying nothing and middle-class families contributing on a sliding scale. Another is to merge Head Start with high-quality state prekindergarten. © 2014 The New York Times Company

Helen Shen For anyone fighting to save old memories, a fresh crop of brain cells may be the last thing they need. Research published today in Science suggests that newly formed neurons in the hippocampus — an area of the brain involved in memory formation — could dislodge previously learned information1. The work may provide clues as to why childhood memories are so difficult to recall. "The finding was very surprising to us initially. Most people think new neurons mean better memory," says Sheena Josselyn, a neuroscientist who led the study together with her husband Paul Frankland at the Hospital for Sick Children in Toronto, Canada. Humans, mice and several other mammals grow new neurons in the hippocampus throughout their lives — rapidly at first, but more and more slowly with age. Researchers have previously shown that boosting neural proliferation before learning can enhance memory formation in adult mice2, 3. But the latest study shows that after information is learned, neuron growth can degrade those memories. Although seemingly counterintuitive, the disruptive role of these neurons makes some sense, says Josselyn. She notes that some theoretical models have predicted such an effect4. "More neurons increase the capacity to learn new memories in the future," she says. "But memory is based on a circuit, so if you add to this circuit, it makes sense that it would disrupt it." Newly added neurons could have a useful role in clearing old memories and making way for new ones, says Josselyn. Forgetting curve The researchers tested newborn and adult mice on a conditioning task, training the animals to fear an environment in which they received repeated electric shocks. All the mice learned the task quickly, but whereas infant mice remembered the negative experience for only one day after training, adult mice retained the negative memory for several weeks. © 2014 Nature Publishing Group

By GRETCHEN REYNOLDS The more physically active you are at age 25, the better your thinking tends to be when you reach middle age, according to a large-scale new study. Encouragingly, the findings also suggest that if you negligently neglected to exercise when young, you can start now and still improve the health of your brain. Those of us past age 40 are generally familiar with those first glimmerings of forgetfulness and muddled thinking. We can't easily recall people's names, certain words, or where we left the car keys. "It's what we scientists call having a C.R.S. problem," said David R. Jacobs, a professor of public health at the University of Minnesota in Minneapolis and a co-author of the new study. "You can't remember stuff." But these slight, midlife declines in thinking skills strike some people later or less severely than others, and scientists have not known why. Genetics almost certainly play a role, most researchers agree. Yet the contribution of lifestyle, and in particular of exercise habits, has been unclear. So recently, Dr. Jacobs and colleagues from universities in the United States and overseas turned to a large trove of data collected over several decades for the Cardia study. The study, whose name is short for Coronary Artery Risk Development in Young Adults, began in the mid-1980s with the recruitment of thousands of men and women then ages 18 to 30 who underwent health testing to determine their cholesterol levels, blood pressure and other measures. Many of the volunteers also completed a treadmill run to exhaustion, during which they strode at an increasingly brisk pace until they could go no farther. The average time to exhaustion among these young adults was 10 minutes, meaning that most were moderately but not tremendously fit. © 2014 The New York Times Company

Erin Allday The game seems pretty simple. An alien-looking creature stands on a block of ice that's flowing down a river. The goal is to maneuver the ice around whales and other hurdles and periodically cause the alien to "jump" to grab green fish as they leap out of the water. The game is played on a tablet, and it looks a lot like any of hundreds of apps that can be downloaded for some mindless entertainment during an afternoon commute on BART. Here's what sets the game apart: It was designed by scientists at UCSF looking for a new way to treat serious symptoms of depression. "We're trying to see whether we can get the same effects with the game as with therapy," said Patricia Arean, a clinical psychologist at UCSF who is studying the potential mental health benefits of video game play in older adults. Arean is joining the burgeoning field of research into the use of video games as tools for promoting brain health. Video games undoubtedly have some kind of effect on our brains, but harnessing the technology and forcing a lasting - and positive - change is the challenge. So far, what little evidence does exist that video games can have a measurable impact on brain activity has been gathered almost entirely on healthy subjects. But in small clinical trials - like Arean's study of depression in older adults - the effects of games on both healthy and unhealthy people are being studied to find out whether they're useful in treating mental illness, such as autism, attention deficit and hyperactivity disorder, and post-traumatic stress disorder. Some neuroscientists say video games may also strengthen neural networks, potentially preventing or slowing down the brain deterioration associated with old age or diseases like Alzheimer's or Parkinson's. "We're in the infancy of this idea that entertaining and gaming stuff can be useful for you," said Joaquin Anguera, a UCSF neuroscientist who designs cognitive training games, including the one Arean is testing with patients. © 2014 Hearst Communications, Inc.

by Helen Thomson A 22-year-old man has been instantaneously transported to his family's pizzeria and his local railway station – by having his brain zapped. These fleeting visual hallucinations have helped researchers pinpoint places where the brain stores visual location information. Pierre Mégevand at the Feinstein Institute for Medical Research in Manhasset, New York, and his colleagues wanted to discover just where in the brain we store and retrieve information about locations and places. They sought the help of a 22-year-old man being treated for epilepsy, because the treatment involved implanting electrodes into his brain that would record his neural activity. Mégevand and his colleagues scanned the volunteer's brain using functional MRI while he looked at pictures of different objects and scenes. They then recorded activity from the implanted electrodes as he looked at a similar set of pictures. In both situations, a specific area of the cortex around the hippocampus responded to images of places, but not to images of other kinds of objects, such as body parts or tools. "There are these little spots of tissues that seem to care about houses and places more than any other class of object," says research team member Ashesh Mehta, also at the Feinstein Institute. Next, the team used the implanted electrodes to stimulate the brain in this area – a move that the volunteer said triggered a series complex visual hallucinations. First he described seeing a railway station in the neighbourhood where he lives. Stimulation of a nearby area elicited another hallucination, this time of a staircase and a blue closet in his home. When stimulation of these areas was repeated, the same scenes arose. © Copyright Reed Business Information Ltd.

By Emily Chung, CBC News If you're in your late 20s or older, you're not as sharp as you used to be, suggests a study of gamers playing the popular video game Starcraft 2. The study analyzed the way 3,305 people, aged 16 to 44, played the game against a single random opponent of similar skill, in order to measure the gamers' cognitive motor performance. Cognitive motor performance is how quickly your brain reacts to things happening around you, allowing you to act during tasks such as driving. The analysis revealed exactly when advancing age starts to take its toll on brain performance – at the tender age of 24 years. The results were published late last week in the journal PLOS ONE. Joe Thompson, lead author of the study, said he was surprised by how early the decline started and how big the age effect was, even among those in their 30s. "If you're 39, competing against a 24-year-old and you're both in the otherwise same level of skill," Thompson said, "the effect of age is expected to offset a great deal of your learning." Starcraft 2 is a popular strategy game, similar in concept to Risk, where players compete to build armies and conquer a science fictional world. Unlike Risk, however, players don't take turns. "Starcraft is like high-speed chess," said Thompson, a PhD student who plays the game himself. "You simply can make as many moves as you want, as fast as you can go." Players can't see the whole "world" at once, as they mine resources needed to build up their armies, as they attack their opponents, and as they defend against opponents' attacks, they need to quickly move their screen around from one part of the world to another. © CBC 2014

|By Janali Gustafson Cravings—we all have them. These intense desires can be triggered by a place, a smell, even a picture. For recovering drug addicts, such memory associations can increase vulnerability to relapse. Now researchers at the Florida campus of the Scripps Research Institute have found a chemical that prevents rats from recalling their drug-associated memories. The study, published online in Biological Psychiatry last fall, is also the first of its kind to disrupt memories without requiring active recollection. Over the course of six days the rats in this study alternated between one of two chambers. On days one, three and five, the animals were injected with methamphetamine hydrochloride—the street drug known as meth—and placed in one room. On the even-numbered days they received a saline placebo and entered a different chamber. After two more days, half the rodents were given a choice between the rooms. As expected, they showed a clear preference for the place they visited after receiving meth. The other half of the animals were injected with a solution containing Latrunculin A (LatA). This chemical interferes with actin, a protein known to be involved in memory formation. These animals showed no preference between rooms, even up to a day later: their choices seemed not to be driven by a memory of meth. Previous research has suggested that drugs of abuse alter the way actin functions, causing it to constantly refresh memories associated with these drugs rather than tucking them away into typical memory storage, which is more inert. As a result of their active status, drug memories might remain susceptible to disruption long after their initial formation. © 2014 Scientific American

By By Stephanie Pappas, A little stress may be a good thing for teenagers learning to drive. In a new study, teens whose levels of the stress hormone cortisol increased more during times of stress got into fewer car crashes or near crashes in their first months of driving than their less-stress-responsive peers did. The study suggests that biological differences may affect how teens learn to respond to crises on the road, the researchers reported today (April 7) in the journal JAMA Pediatrics. Efforts to reduce teen car accidents include graduated driver licensing programs, safety messages and increased parental management, but these efforts seem to work better for some teens than others, the researchers said. Alternatives, such as in-vehicle technologies aimed at reducing accidents, may be especially useful for teens with a "neurological basis" for their increased risk of getting into an accident, they said. Automobile accidents are the No. 1 cause of death of teenagers in the United States, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Car crashes also kill more 15- to 29-year-olds globally than any other cause, according to the World Health Organization.

By Sam Kean Kent Cochrane, the amnesiac known throughout the world of neuroscience and psychology as K.C., died last week at age 62 in his nursing home in Toronto, probably of a stroke or heart attack. Although not as celebrated as the late American amnesiac H.M., for my money K.C. taught us more important and poignant things about how memory works. He showed how we make memories personal and personally meaningful. He also had a heck of a life story. During a wild and extended adolescence, K.C. jammed in rock bands, partied at Mardi Gras, played cards till all hours, and got into fights in bars; he was also knocked unconscious twice, once in a dune-buggy accident, once when a bale of hay conked him on the head. In October 1981, at age 30, he skidded off an exit ramp on his motorcycle. He spent a month in intensive care and lost, among other brain structures, both his hippocampuses. As H.M.'s case demonstrated in the early 1950s, the hippocampus—you have one in each hemisphere of your brain—helps form and store new memories and retrieve old ones. Without a functioning hippocampus, names, dates, and other information falls straight through the mind like a sieve. At least that's what supposed to happen. K.C. proved that that's not quite true—memories can sometimes bypass the hippocampus. After the motorcycle accident, K.C. lost most of his past memories and could make almost no new memories. But a neuroscientist named Endel Tulving began studying K.C., and he determined that K.C. could remember certain things from his past life just fine. Oddly, though, everything K.C. remembered fell within one restricted category: It was all stuff you could look up in reference books, like the difference between stalactites and stalagmites or between spares and strikes in bowling. Tulving called these bare facts "semantic memories," memories devoid of all context and emotion. © 2014 The Slate Group LLC

He was known in his many appearances in the scientific literature as simply K.C., an amnesiac who was unable to form new memories. But to the people who knew him, and the scientists who studied him for decades, he was Kent Cochrane, or just Kent. Cochrane, who suffered a traumatic brain injury in a motorcycle accident when he was 30 years old, helped to rewrite the understanding of how the brain forms new memories and whether learning can occur without that capacity. "From a scientific point of view, we've really learned a lot [from him], not just about memory itself but how memory contributes to other abilities," said Shayna Rosenbaum, a cognitive neuropsychologist at York University who started working with Cochrane in 1998 when she was a graduate student. Cochrane was 62 when he died late last week. The exact cause of death is unknown, but his sister, Karen Casswell, said it is believed he had a heart attack or stroke. He died in his room at an assisted living facility where he lived and the family opted not to authorize an autopsy. Few in the general public would know about Cochrane, though some may have seen or read media reports on the man whose life was like that of the lead character of the 2000 movie Memento. But anyone who works on the science of human memory would know K.C. Casswell and her mother, Ruth Cochrane, said the family was proud of the contribution Kent Cochrane made to science. Casswell noted her eldest daughter was in a psychology class at university when the professor started to lecture about the man the scientific literature knows as K.C. © CBC 2014

By SABRINA TAVERNISE In 1972, researchers in North Carolina started following two groups of babies from poor families. In the first group, the children were given full-time day care up to age 5 that included most of their daily meals, talking, games and other stimulating activities. The other group, aside from baby formula, got nothing. The scientists were testing whether the special treatment would lead to better cognitive abilities in the long run. Forty-two years later, the researchers found something that they had not expected to see: The group that got care was far healthier, with sharply lower rates of high blood pressure and obesity, and higher levels of so-called good cholesterol. The study, which was published in the journal Science on Thursday, is part of a growing body of scientific evidence that hardship in early childhood has lifelong health implications. But it goes further than outlining the problem, offering evidence that a particular policy might prevent it. "This tells us that adversity matters and it does affect adult health," said James Heckman, a professor of economics at the University of Chicago who led the data analysis. "But it also shows us that we can do something about it, that poverty is not just a hopeless condition." The findings come amid a political push by the Obama administration for government-funded preschool for 4-year-olds. But a growing number of experts, Professor Heckman among them, say they believe that more effective public programs would start far earlier — in infancy, for example, because that is when many of the skills needed to take control of one's life and become a successful adult are acquired. © 2014 The New York Times Company

By Shelly Fan One of the tragedies of aging is the slow but steady decline in memory. Phone numbers slipping your mind? Forgetting crucial items on your grocery list? Opening the door but can't remember why? Up to 50 percent of adults aged 64 years or older report memory complaints. For many of us, senile moments are the result of normal changes in brain structure and function instead of a sign of dementia, and will inevitably haunt us all. Rather than taking it lying down, scientists are devising interventions to help keep the elderly mind sharp. One popular approach—borrowed from the training of memory experts—is to teach the elderly mnemonics, or little tricks to help encode and recall new information using rhythm, imagery or spatial navigation. By far the most widely used mnemonic device is the method of loci (MoL), a technique devised in ancient Greece. In a 2002 study looking at the neural correlates of superior human memory, nine of 10 memory masters employed the method spontaneously. It involves picturing highly familiar routes through a building (your childhood home) or a town (your way to work). Walk down the route and imagine placing to-be-remembered items at attention-grabbing spots along the way; the more surreal or bizarre you make these images, the better they can help you remember. To recall these stored items, simply retrace your steps. Like fishing lines, the loci are hooked to the memory and help you pull them to the surface. Although generally used to remember objects, numbers or names, the MoL has also been used in people with depression to successfully store bits and pieces of happy autobiographical memories that they can easily retrieve in times of stress. © 2014 Scientific American,

By TARA PARKER-POPE For a $14.95 monthly membership, the website Lumosity promises to "train" your brain with games designed to stave off mental decline. Users view a quick succession of bird images and numbers to test attention span, for instance, or match increasingly complex tile patterns to challenge memory. While Lumosity is perhaps the best known of the brain-game websites, with 50 million subscribers in 180 countries, the cognitive training business is booming. Happy Neuron of Mountain View, Calif., promises "brain fitness for life." Cogmed, owned by the British education company Pearson, says its training program will give students "improved attention and capacity for learning." The Israeli firm Neuronix is developing a brain stimulation and cognitive training program that the company calls a "new hope for Alzheimer's disease." And last month, in a move that could significantly improve the financial prospects for brain-game developers, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services began seeking comments on a proposal that would, in some cases, reimburse the cost of "memory fitness activities." Much of the focus of the brain fitness business has been on helping children with attention-deficit problems, and on improving cognitive function and academic performance in healthy children and adults. An effective way to stave off memory loss or prevent Alzheimer's — particularly if it were a simple website or video game — is the "holy grail" of neuroscience, said Dr. Murali Doraiswamy, director of the neurocognitive disorders program at Duke Institute for Brain Sciences. The problem, Dr. Doraiswamy added, is that the science of cognitive training has not kept up with the hype. © 2014 The New York Times Company

|By Christie Nicholson Our memories are inaccurate, more than we'd like to believe. And now a study demonstrates one reason: we apparently add current experiences onto memories. Study subjects examined the location of objects on a computer screen against a background of an underwater ocean scene. Researchers then showed the subjects a fresh screen with a different background, this time a photo of farmland. And the subjects had to place an object in the same position it was in on the original screen. And they always placed the object in the wrong position. The researchers then presented three objects on the original ocean background. One was in the original location, another was in the location the subject just chose in the previous task and the third was in a new location. The subject was asked to pick the original location of the object in the original ocean background. And instead of choosing the original correct location, they always picked the position they had chosen. That is, they now believed the position they'd picked on the farm scene was the original position on the ocean background. The study is in the Journal of Neuroscience. [Donna J. Bridge and Joel L. Voss, Hippocampal Binding of Novel Information with Dominant Memory Traces Can Support Both Memory Stability and Change] The researchers note that recent and easily retrievable information "can overwrite what was there to begin with."

Carl Zimmer Forcing male flies into monogamy has a startling effect: After a few dozen generations, the flies become worse at learning. This discovery, published on Wednesday in the Proceedings of the Royal Society, isn't a biological excuse for men who have strayed from their significant other. Instead, it's a tantalizing clue about why intelligence evolved. The new study was carried out by Brian Hollis and Tadeusz J. Kawecki, biologists at the University of Lausanne in Switzerland. They investigated a fly species called Drosophila melanogaster that normally has a very un-monogamous way of life. To find a mate, the male flies seek out females on rotting pieces of fruit. They often engage in battles to chase their rivals away, and then pick a female to court. "The males will do this wing song, where they use one wing or the other to generate a song," said Dr. Hollis. This wing song may last from 10 minutes to an hour. Virgin females usually accept the overtures. But if a female has just mated, she will reject a new male's advances. "If a male comes at her from behind and she's not interested, she'll kick at him with her rear legs," said Dr. Hollis. If a couple of days have passed since her last mating, however, the female may choose to mate again. Seven years ago, while he was a graduate student at Florida State University, Dr. Hollis set out to study how the competition among males shapes their evolution. He began breeding two groups of flies — one polygamous, the other monogamous. In 2011, he took his flies to the University of Lausanne, where he met Dr. Kawecki, an expert on learning. The two scientists wondered if the different mating habits of Dr. Hollis's flies had altered their brains. © 2014 The New York Times Company

A brain-training video game that improved the vision of college baseball players by as much as two lines on an eye chart has been developed by U.S. researchers. "This is something which I think could help almost anybody," said Aaron Seitz, a neuroscientist at the University of California, Riverside, who the led the research. Players on the university's baseball team improved their visual acuity by 31 per cent after training with the app. And that translated into better performance on the baseball field, where better vision improves the odds of hitting a ball travelling well over 100 km/h. "What we found is they had fewer strikeouts, they were able to create more runs," Seitz told CBC's Quirks & Quarks in an interview that airs Saturday. The players had more runs than predicted even after taking into account the natural improvement that would be expected over the course of the season. Further calculations suggest the improved performance helped the team to win four or five additional games. Following 30 sessions of training with the app, players had better vision, fewer strikeouts, more runs and more wins. But Seitz thinks the app has even more potential to help people with eye conditions such as lazy eye, glaucoma, or age-related macular degeneration. There are 100 million people around the world who have such low vision that glasses don't help, he added. "All that they have to gain is the brain training element.… For these people, there's just really big real-world benefits that could be achieved if we're able to improve their vision."

|By Beth Skwarecki Prions, the protein family notorious for causing "mad cow" and neurodegenerative diseases like Parkinson's, can play an important role in healthy cells. "Do you think God created prions just to kill?" mused Nobel laureate Eric Kandel. "These things must have evolved initially to have a physiological function." His work on memory helped reveal that animals make and use prions in their nervous systems as part of an essential function: stabilizing the synapses that constitute long-term memories. These natural prions aren't infectious but on a molecular level they chain up exactly the same way as their disease-causing brethren. (Some researchers call them "prionlike" to avoid confusion.) This week, work from neuroscientist Kausik Si of the Stowers Institute for Medical Research, one of Kandel's former students, shows that the prion's action is tightly controlled by the cell, and can be turned on when a new long-term memory needs to be formed. Prions are proteins with two unusual properties: First, they can switch between two possible shapes, one that is stable on its own and an alternate conformation that can form chains. Second, the chain-forming version has to be able to trigger others to change shape and join the chain. Say that in the normal version the protein is folded so that one portion of the protein structure—call it "tab A"—fits into its own "slot B." In the alternate form, though, tab A is available to fit into its neighbor's slot B. That means the neighbor can do the same thing to the next protein to come along, forming a chain or clump that can grow indefinitely. © 2014 Scientific American,

James Hamblin Brain training is becoming big business. Everywhere you look, someone is talking about neuroplasticity and trying to train your brain. Soon there will be no wild brains left. At the same time, everyone who spends more than two continuous hours using a computer is, according to the American Optometric Association, ruining their eyes with Computer Vision Syndrome. So, Dr. Aaron Seitz might be onto something with his new brain-training program that promises better vision. UltimEyes is a game-based app that's sold as "fun and rewarding" as it improves your vision and "reverse[s] the effects of aging eyes." It doesn't claim to work on the eyes themselves, but on the brain cortex that processes vision—the part that takes blurry puzzle pieces from the eyes and arranges them into a sweet puzzle. (Brain training for memory, the kind we hear about the most on TV, would be the part that lacquers the finished puzzle, frames it, and hangs it on the wall.) A standard 25-minute session using UltimEyes forces your eyes to work in ways they probably don't in everyday life, and its website warns that after the first use, "just like the first time that you go to the gym, your eyes may feel a bit tired. This experience typically goes away by your third session as your visual system adjusts to its new work-out routine." Seitz is a neuroscientist at the University of California, Riverside. To test out his vision-training game, he had players on the university's baseball team use the app. Half the team trained for 30 sessions. For comparison, the other half did no training. © 2014 by The Atlantic Monthly Group

By GREGORY COWLES David Stuart MacLean's first book, "The Answer to the Riddle Is Me," opens with a scene out of Robert Ludlum: The protagonist wakes from a blackout to find himself on a crowded train platform in India, with no idea who he is or what he's doing in a foreign country. The catch is that the protagonist is Mr. MacLean himself, and his book isn't an international thriller but a "memoir of amnesia," as his agreeably paradoxical subtitle puts it — the true story of how his memory was wiped clean and how that condition has subsequently affected his life. It is all the more thrilling for that. In 2002, Mr. MacLean was a 28-year-old Fulbright scholar visiting India to research a novel. It wasn't his first trip; he had gone a few years earlier and stayed for months. But this time around, his anti-malaria medication touched off a break with reality as sudden as it was severe. He hallucinated angels and demons, and felt his thoughts "puddling in the carpet near the doorway and sloshing down the hall." Delirious, he agreed with the police officer who surmised he must be a drug addict, and apologized profusely for misdeeds he had never committed. At the hospital, a nurse called him "the most entertaining psychotic that they'd ever had." As harrowing as this territory is, Mr. MacLean makes an affable, sure-footed guide. In his descriptions, you can recognize the good fiction writer he must have been even before amnesia forced him to view the world anew; if the writer's task is to "make it new," then losing your memory turns out to be an unexpected boon. An avid drinker before his breakdown, he recoils the first time he tries Scotch again, thinking it smells "like Band-Aids." He can't remember his girlfriend of a year, but her voice is "faintly familiar, like the smell of the car heater the first time you turn it on in the fall." He grasps at hope when his parents arrive to take him home: "I still didn't have my memory, but I now had an outline of myself, like a tin form waiting for batter." © 2014 The New York Times Company

Katherine Sharpe Ben Harkless could not sit still. At home, the athletic ten-year-old preferred doing three activities at once: playing with his iPad, say, while watching television and rolling on an exercise ball. Sometimes he kicked the walls; other times, he literally bounced off them. School was another story, however. Ben sat in class most days with his head down on his desk, "a defeated heap", remembers his mother, Suzanne Harkless, a social worker in Berkeley, California. His grades were poor, and his teacher was at a loss for what to do. Harkless took Ben to a therapist who diagnosed him with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). He was prescribed methylphenidate, a stimulant used to improve focus in people with the condition. Harkless was reluctant to medicate her child, so she gave him a dose on a morning when she could visit the school to observe. "He didn't whip through his work, but he finished his work," she says. "And then he went on and helped his classmate next to him. My jaw dropped." ADHD diagnoses are rising rapidly around the world and especially in the United States, where 11% of children aged between 4 and 17 years old have been diagnosed with the disorder. Between half and two-thirds of those are put on medication, a decision often influenced by a child's difficulties at school. And there are numerous reports of adolescents and young adults without ADHD using the drugs as study aids. © 2014 Nature Publishing Group,

previous comment of mine is from my notebook what I found after posting this main story. I briefly wrote down some points based on Aindra prabhu´s maybe 30 minutes talk to us.
» Posted By muniraja dasa On Jul 20, 2010 @ 3:59 pm
"…managers are often in a 2nd class intelligence platform, in a mode of passion. Nama-sankirtana is too abstract for most of the people…"
" …start going out every day…"
" Srila Prabhupada glorified our endeavours, 7 hours of book distribution and 7 hours of nama-sankirtan."
" Take the temple to the people, that was Srila Prabhupada´s program."
" Because you don´t go out every day to chant you only have that many persons in the temple. Kirtan is the life of all transcendental knowledge. When people see it they want to take part."
"..and Krishna will help, He will send someone to give donation. Like myself, we just chant here, we don´t ask for donations, but still there are never chapati-problems, we are always maintained…"

I didn´t say western science is based on blind faith, but many people have similar blind faith to science what devotees may have to Vedic philosophy. If someone presents argument against, they don´t want to listen, but judge you as fundamentalist, since you are doubting the absolute truth.
Concerning these moonlanding hoax documents, just seen the typical stuff what goes around. Cannot say how "verifiably proving" they are, but have seen their effects. One them was shown in local tv here last year, and quite a number of people at least started to have doubts.
I believe in these various texts are various nice viewpoints useful in preaching, we should not be shy about the presentation of Bhagavatam, but according to audience we should discuss with intelligent and non-fanatical way, ready to hear the arguments of another party. Although it is maybe not that often when we have to discuss about cosmology, in general it is maybe better to avoid the subject if you are not expert on the field.
» Posted By muniraja dasa On Aug 6, 2009 @ 7:27 pm
it is interesting to see HOW deep is the faith to modern science, even amongst devotees. Devotees who accept sastra literally, like my humble self, are sometimes said to be fanatics and fundamentalists. But people giving these arguments often have the very same symptoms of fanatism and blind following, but their faith is into modern science, if someone even starts a conversation, that science is imperfect, Vedas have higher wisdom etc, they are already disturbed and agitated.
It is also funny to see, that in devotee camp there are those who have more faith into western science on certain areas and on the camp of scientist there are those who don´t have faith into their own teachings, but to Vedas. Last christmas marathon we met one long time friend of devotees, teaching in university, his comment to us: " You are very lucky to follow the teachings of your line…everything what we teach in our university…it is a joke…a bad joke." Once one of our devotees met an astronomist in the street, that devotee was preaching with very straightforward and innocent way, they ended up discussing about cosmology, and astronomer admitted, all their teachings are theories, and other theories could be presented.
General opinion and vox populi seems to influence devotees also, it means our conviction is not that strong. For example moon landing, some devotees have left, or didn´t join the movement because Srila Prabhupada said that we didn´t go to the Moon. But now, when there are various documents strongly claiming that it was a hoax, many many people, like my "die hard-believe into the science" father is now convinced that it is not possible to go there. Perhaps we should read more about the 5th canto commentaries what our acaryas have written, Danavir Maharaja has published some very large books concerning cosmology, I didn´t study them yet, but just the fact that acaryas have written a lot about the subject can give us more faith to the viewpoint of the Bhagavatam.
HOW we preach is another story and discussion, if the mood of the presentation gives fanatical impression, it is generally not good.

Subtle sex; the scourge of the advancing sadhaka
Thank you Prabhu.
Valuable points.
We were just discussing with devotees how dealing with opposite sex is fine line. For example on book distribution one may make some jokes with opposite sex in order to get them to take a spiritual book. As long as this stays on somewhat formal level, it may be ok, but it sometimes happens that this same mood continues in the temple, devotees try to get attention of the opposite sex, and there is no more aspect which is satisfying for Krsna.
We just heard Bhakti Vijnana Maharaja mentioning, that sex is only the most gross and clear manisfestation of lust, there is so much on subtle level. Like you nicely explained.
On the other hand, even if there are material motivations in our devotional seva, it gets gradually purified, if we just try to continue. Like some devotees have admitted that nice looking ladies in the temple were, if not the main reason, at least good bonus for increasing visits to the temple at the beginning, but later on these same persons have become serious brahmacaries.

THE PASSING OF CAITANYANANDA DASA of FINLAND
"He became a hero of whole ISKCON, and wonderfull example for the Finnish yatra."
(H.H.Mahanidhi Swami)
"He was a real sankirtan devotee…" (Aindra Prabhu.)
Aindra prabhu explained, that sometimes devotees who are about to leave are sensitive that the bhajans is not too loud, since their senses maybe become supersensitive. In CAd´s case they WERE chanting VERY loudly, after the first session Aindra asked if it was too loud, and Cad shook his head and showed his thumb as a sign of acceptance. Aindra prabhu said this is sign of true sankirtana devotee, that he wants to leave in a middle on chanting, the yuga-dharma.
Aindra had said that he was able to visit CAd´s place only three times that week, his voice could not tolerate more. On the third time Aindra said to CAd, "Don´t leave before we come again…"
Just some 1,5h later (on 7th of August) they were asked to come back since CAd was about to leave. Aindra´s team arrived just 12 minutes before the departure, and Cad left in a middle of intense chanting of Maha-mantra.

In one lecture from India, somewhere 2001-2003 Suhotra Maharaja was speking about transcendental madness, but in a middle he stopped and said:" But now we have here a true living transcendental madman ! Sri Radha-Kunda Prabhu Ki Jaya!!"

Our Humble Obeisances
Thank you Murali Prabhu for scholarly comment. I am not at all expert in this issue, but I have heard other Maharaja's also mentioning that jiva's originate from Cit-sakti.
Srila Bhaktivinoda Thakura's anwers seems to be clear , but I asked a scholar friend of mine and he founded the following one:
"I found the following statement there interesing, because it traces the origin
of jiva all the way back to the root of all saktis:
"Outside the spiritual realm of the cit-sakti and between this spiritual
realm and the material realm of maya there is the field of the
tatastha-sakti where the cit-sakti manifests Herself in Her partial
expansion as the jiva-sakti, thereby generating the eternal jivas in the
tatastha , marginal field."
Jiva's are not directly from Cit-sakti, but an partial expansion, maybe that's why devotees sometimes say, that jiva's do originate from cit-sakti.(?)

Nitai Gauranga Jayatah
Couple of small comments to this interesting discussion:
1. Srila Prabhupada is glorified from his abitility to present sometimes very complicated philosophical points in a simple language, understandable for westeners. However, this doesn't mean that he cannot write in a scholarly academic style. "From Renunciation to Wisdom." which Srila Prabhupada wrote before coming to west is sometimes given as example.
2. And like it was mentioned in letter before, Srila Prabhupada encouraged books of the previous acaryas to be translated. One staunch follower and disciple of Srila Prabhupada recently commented to the question related to this topic that those who have adhikara can read books of high level topics for their own cultivation, but on public lectures we should follow certain standard and avoid too intimate Krsna-lila discussions.
Although many of us are not qualified to read such books.
Then we get to the point, are these books necessary?
One answer what I have heard as answer for this: they are not absolutely necessary, but one who has qualification can read and benefit.

Thank you prabhuji.
Many valuable points.
Altough there are maybe not that many persons in the bhajans before the kirtan, I concider it very valuable, since it greats very good atmosphere by focusing the attention
to the temple room and altar and even if the bhajans is done shortly, it increases the percentage of devotees being on time in kirtan.

Thank you for the reports.
Getting knowledge of GBC-meetings is one of the positive aspects of internet.
In our humble observation too many devotees hardly know much about GBC, nor what GBC is discussing. They know who is their local GBC, but not much more. Distributing information to "Bh.Joe" level could be improved.

We have heard Srila Prabhupada mentioning the point that body continues under our karma, if one does not chant tilak mantras, we must do some recearch to find out the quote.
Friend of us who helped to edite this small writing of ours added the point "not whispering nor in the mind", as far as we know Srila Prabhupada didn`t mention this specifically.

We forget to add this part. Ys Mrd
" The scriptures descripe the benefits of taking a clod bath early in the morning. Such a bath can purify even a sinner, for it has the power to wash away all external and internal contaminations. Whereas a warm water bath cleanses physically, cold water revitalizes the subtle body, removing the influence of sleep and dreams as well as of evil-minded persons. The cold bath also gives strenght, sensivity, longevity, effulgence, and purity. Taking an early morning cold bath increses one`s knowledge and determination and affortds peace of mind. It removes unhappiness, lamentation, degradation, and bath thoughts. In short, it counteracts all the ill effects of sin.(Pancaratrika Pradipa)
According to our knowledge, Srila Prabhupada took chilly baths also.
However, cold doesn`t nesessarily mean freezing, and if one is sick, elderly, or in cold climate warm bath may be good option.

"The duty of a brahmana is to culture the quality of forgiveness, which is illuminating like the sun. The Supreme Personality of Godhead, Hari, is pleased with those who are forgiving." (SB 9.15.40)
Also humbly reminding that as far as I have understood, cultured persons also point out positive aspects of a person while there is a need to critisize.
It is also seen in the history of our movement, that sometimes when persons who are in
fault humbly admit their defects , and try their best to rectify, stay nicely situated, or go up, while the criticizers of them start their journey down.

|The person probably thought it was still worth 50mil, so that's probably why I got lucky? So you have a trident, how does that make me a better battler than you? xD I just occasionally check through shop search cause I like to remind myself I'm broke and will never amount to anything as a battler. |D
I'm sure someone will misprice a Pbow before long. It's bound to happen.

My mother and I were very close and when she passed away I felt lost. I just wrote a little about the loss of my parents on my blog. It's always harder around the holidays. I think of them every time I use their good silver, or other things that had been theirs. My mom died only 15 months after my dad, and though it was 13 years ago, I miss them very much. But, over time, the pain subsides and you begin to think of mostly happy memories. It does get easier, just remember that. Thinking of you,

I'm sure it doesn't happen immediatly or when you want it, this is a ripening process, and the veil of sadness you feel wrapping your thoughts is part of it. Let it be Dawn, do not resist to your right normal reaction to what happened to your life. Do not dramatize it try if you can to accept it, that's life, your little boy and your husband know you are normal as you are.

Inside Koko FitClub?s tranquil workout studio, orange-and-white cardio and weight machines wait quietly for a guest's unique Koko key to bring them to life. The key, packed with information about guests' exercise history and goals loads up a 30-minute workout for each visit that's fully customized for each guest's body and goals. Exercises are carefully broken down in easy-to-follow instructions, adapting as guests progress, spouting pep talks when energy wanes, and providing information about individual progress. Personalized nutrition plans ensure the body has the energy it needs for best results.
Designed by experienced trainers, the programs are designed to build muscle and torch fat in all areas of the body. To watch success unfold, guests can chart their progress from a store of information accumulated during each session.
Gigi?s Mind, Body, & Soul Day Spa?s staff members commit themselves to creating a calming spa environment, regardless of the particular service they're performing. Aestheticians at the Spa hail from the Southwest Institute of Natural Aesthetics and bring their own knowledge of massage therapy, cosmetic laser technology, and skincare to the center. In addition to rejuvenating countenances with hydrating facials and waxing unwanted stubble, they also incorporate more advanced procedures into their menu. Microdermabrasion treatments even out skin tone by smoothing away dead cells, and chemical peels minimize the appearance of dermal blemishes, such as sun damage, wrinkles, and freckles in the shape the client?s age.
The brain controls the body—which means that when brainwaves are unbalanced by trauma, the unhealthy pattern can manifest in symptoms from anger to weight gain. At Opti-Mind, the team specializes in mapping and rebalancing these waves, restoring brains and bodies to optimal working order with a blend of neuroscience and technology. In each of their signature processes, the team transmits the sound of healthy brainwaves to the brain, where the sound resonates and helps the brain to rebalance itself.
As they enter the training circle at Curves, female guests come face-to-face with the smiles of other women. And just as points on a circle share a common distance from the circle's center, workout participants share the experiences of those nearby by trading stations throughout the 30-minute training session. One minute is spent on a piece of strength-training equipment built for feminine frames and designed to work two opposing muscle groups with a single movement. Exercisers then move on to a recovery station, where they run, jog, or dance to maintain heart rates and keep platforms in place during momentary losses of gravity.
There's no such thing as a simple row or chest press at Kinesis Konnection. Instead, the studio's trainers combine these traditional moves with functional ones—such as squats, bends, or steps—in order to make them more effective at improving balance, flexibility, core stability, and overall strength. These 45-minute workouts fill the studio's schedule and welcome students of all fitness levels: participants can customize their weight capacity and pace to make workouts more challenging or easier than stealing candy from a baby who hates candy.
For Sumit Banerjee, success in yoga is not defined by how perfectly aligned your poses are, but how deeply you can immerse yourself in the work. Through assiduous study of Bikram and Vinyasa styles, he created Sumits Yoga, which now offers classes at studios in five states. Laura and April helm the Biltmore location along with the studio's slate of certified instructors. Emphasizing form and self-awareness, they teach students to listen to each breath and honor their bodies in stillness. Classes are accompanied by music and held in a heated room that helps promote detoxification, relax muscles, and defrost chakras.

Hannah Perry, owner of The Giggling Pig, helps children grow and express themselves through art. The only limitation is the imagination as students of all ages take on a variety of creative projects during classes, such as painting lessons and mommy and me sessions. Kids can blend crayon and clay in a colorful collage or tie-dye T-shirts to make wearable art or cover up unsightly stains. In addition, the studio offers classes for adults, wherein they paint wineglasses and design seascapes on canvases.
Far Beyond Driven CrossFit challenges its trainees to push themselves beyond their personal limits with individually scalable, high-intensity workouts built around ever-changing functional movements. Rather than grinding away for hours on an elliptical, students train under driven, certified coaches as they build muscle with kettlebells, sprinting, squatting, tire flips, and plyometrics.
Draft House entertains patrons with 10 beers on tap, 10 H-D TVs bedecking a spacious dining room, and a full menu of bar favorites. Perk up palates with a basket of jalapeño poppers stuffed with gooey mozzarella ($9), or purposefully slip and fall into an order of pulled-pork or cheeseburger sliders, which are cushioned with fries for safety ($9). A Cajun-spiced tilapia sandwich with mango ketchup and mixed greens unveils one of the millions of sophisticated tastes the world's oceans contain beyond saltwater cider and kelp fritters ($11). For meatier-minded appetites, the Draft House burger delivers a gut-gratifying helping of caramelized onions, mushrooms, and mozzarella ($10), and chicken marsala with mashed potatoes sends tongues into reveries of delicious meals of yore ($14). Accent your rib stickers with one of Draft House's brews, a candy-flavored martini, or a glass of wine.
Planet Fitness embodies a judgment-free zone where guests of all ages and fitness levels can sculpt their physiques with myriad aerobic and strength-training options within a friendly, down-to-earth atmosphere. Patrons may tone and strengthen muscles by pushing and pulling the extensive selection of brand-name equipment and free weights. With the help of an instructor, guests can design a custom workout program based on exercise history to help them achieve their varying fitness goals. Thirty-minute small-group classes concentrate on strengthening and toning specific body parts, and full-body circuit workouts.

"-reasonably priced with the ability to have multiple photos -customer service is great - were able to fix an error in my card after I had submitted the order"
"Loved this design and especially the mail service feature- I uploaded all of the recipients' addresses before my baby was born and tinyprints sent them out for me. The only annoying thing is that you can't then re-order more of the same cards without using that mailing feature. Weird."
"I got SO many compliments on this announcement for my son. It is so colorful and playful, perfect for our baby boy! I love it so much, it couldn't have been any more perfect."
"I loved this announcement. I had newborn photos taken professionally. For the announcement I used a fall themed picture and it matched perfectly with the orange on the card. The cards are nice and thick. The bows on the back were a cute touch. I got a lot of great feedback from everyone I sent these to. I am also very impressed with the quickness that I received them."
"This card was so easy to personalize I love how it had the 4 small pictures and the big one that gave it constrast I got compliments from everyone that received one I personally choose this one because I was looking for a card that had gray and light blue, and once I got them in the mail the blue was the perfect tone"
