My Stroke of Insight: A Brain Scientist\’s Personal Journey

Posted by: admin  /  Category: Medicine & Health Sciences
StrokeOn the morning of December 10, 1996, Jill Bolte Taylor, a thirty-seven-year-old Harvard-trained brain scientist, experienced a massive stroke when a blood vessel exploded in the left side of her brain. A neuroanatomist by profession, she observed her own mind completely deteriorate to the point that she could not walk, talk, read, write, or recall any of her life, all within the space of four brief hours. As the damaged left side of her brain–the rational, grounded, detail- and time-oriented side–swung in and out of function, Taylor alternated between two distinct and opposite realties: the euphoric nirvana of the intuitive and kinesthetic right brain, in which she felt a sense of complete well-being and peace; and the logical, sequential left brain, which recognized Jill was having a stroke, and enabled her to seek help before she was lost completely.

In My Stroke of Insight, Taylor shares her unique perspective on the brain and its capacity for recovery, and the sense of omniscient understanding she gained from this unusual and inspiring voyage out of the abyss of a wounded brain. It would take eight years for Taylor to heal completely. Because of her knowledge of how the brain works, her respect for the cells composing her human form, and most of all an amazing mother, Taylor completely repaired her mind and recalibrated her understanding of the world according to the insights gained from her right brain that morning of December 10th.

Today Taylor is convinced that the stroke was the best thing that could have happened to her. It has taught her that the feeling of nirvana is never more than a mere thought away. By stepping to the right of our left brains, we can all uncover the feelings of well-being and peace that are so often sidelined by our own brain chatter. A fascinating journey into the mechanics of the human mind, My Stroke of Insight is both a valuable recovery guide for anyone touched by a brain injury, and an emotionally stirring testimony that deep internal peace truly is accessible to anyone, at any time.

Stebel Nautilus Compact Motorcycle Air Horn – Loud – Chrome

Posted by: admin  /  Category: Motorcycle accessories
motorcycleI added this horn to my new touring motorcycle in addition to the factory horn. The manufacturer advertises 139 dB for this product, but if you go to the manufacturer\’s site and search the fine print, it was measured at 4 inches. Normally, audio products are measured at a distance of 1 meter, not 4 inches.

If you measure this horn at the canonical 1 meter, it is @ 120 dB.

10dB difference is perceived by the human ear as being 2X as loud. 20dB difference would be perceived by the human ear as being 4X as loud. The difference between 139dB and 120dB would be perceived @ 4X as loud, but in this case, it is @ 4X quieter than what was advertised using standard measuring techniques.

My factory horn is a lower frequency than the 2 higher frequencies in this horn, so the combination made a 3 tone horn. The combination of the factory and aftermarket horn makes a notable difference from the stock, but not what I figured I would get by the 139 dB claims.

CARBON KEVLAR Motorcycle Mesh & Leather Race Gloves

Posted by: admin  /  Category: Motorcycle accessories
Leather Race These gloves are just as shown in the pictures. They have leather (the leather smells/feels real, and it is not synthetic) on the palm of one\’s hand, a nylon/kevlar space/strip between the \’palm\’ part and the \’knuckle part, and leather on the \’back\’ part where the knuckles are. The mesh is multi-layered, which means that, if their assertion that the kevlar is abrasion-resistant holds true, then the gloves provide adequate protection in case of a mild/regular fall.

To be honest, these gloves seem to provide some kind of protection to your four fingers and the knuckles (\’carbon kevlar\’), in addition to extra padding (not \’carbon kevlar\’) to the area of the \’knuckle on your wrist\’, but if you need protection to your thumb knuckle, then look to gloves that protect the knuckle of the thumb. That may or may not be an issue.

Motorcycle safety experts (don\’t quote me on this) state that, during a fall, we humans instinctively try to break the fall using our palms, and if that is the case, then these gloves might prevent nasty road rash.

The gloves have an exact \’tight\’ fit, which I like, because this means that I am in full control of the handlebars. I think that once they are worn in, then they fit better, so be careful about ordering. They have velcro straps on the wrist and \’wrist-knuckle\’ area, which means that they are adjustable to accommodate slight adjustments that are user specific.

These gloves are not for winter riding, and may only be used during hot or spring-like weather, but once it turns icy, then you may need to get warmer gloves. The mesh/leather mixture might slightly compromise the integrity of the gloves, but I looked at the seams, and they felt good enough when pulled.

I viewed \’designer\’ motorcycle gloves like Joe Rocket Supermoto gloves, AGV Sport GPR roadracing gloves,Harley Davidson FXRG Gauntlet gloves, Alpinestars GP Tech gloves, etc, and I see very little difference, if any, between the designer gloves and this pair. They are built (almost) the same, but the designer ones cost much more. Buying these gloves means that you shall join the core few group (I think 2%) that protect their hands and knuckles from a fall. Most riders don\’t use gloves, and the ones that do use flimsy ones that offer no protection whatsoever from a fall of any kind. I have even seen riders with fingerless gloves! How will those protect you in case of a fall?? Squids!!!

For the lack of protection of the thumb, I give them a 4! (more like 3 and a half) If you buy top brand helmets and leathers, then I believe that you should buy designer gloves for your own piece of mind. However, if you are like me who looks for bargains, I feel that these gloves that protect you just as well as the designer gloves, for much less than the designer prices.

Safe riding. All The Gear All The Time! (ATGATT)

Product reviews are also available online

Posted by: admin  /  Category: auto part

A good day could easily be ruined by a discovery that your car’s headlights
are no longer working. And to make things worse, you’re too busy to go to the
hardware store because of your work schedule or responsibilities at home.

But then again, what year is it already?!! Reality check – we are already living
in a world full of conveniences with just a click of a button. One of the most
useful innovations of all time is the internet. And through the internet, we
can know almost about anything and the best part is, we can even do shopping.

In the comfort of your own home, you can do your personal online shopping for
your auto parts. There’s no longer the need to drive all the way to the store
with broken headlights, silently pray that you’ll get there safe and patiently
look for a parking space when you get there. With online shopping, you have
hundreds of choices and product descriptions to help you find out what car part
is suited for your car. Aside from saving so much time, you also save your self
the effort and the pressure of shopping at the store with lots of people waiting
in line at the cashier.

Product reviews are also available online so that you’ll know which product
is the best instead of constantly asking the sales clerk the usual question,
“Are you sure this is the right one?” And if still not contented
with the reviews, you can even check for further product information.

Another advantage of online shopping is that it is available for 24 hours!
No more waiting for the store to open or worrying if the store is already closed.
You just sit down, turn on your computer and click the products you want to
buy. And they will be delivered right at your doorstep within five days or even
less. You can also easily return or cancel a merchandise easily and sometimes,
tracking is available so that you’ll know order’s location before it reaches
you.

Of
course, online shopping also entails some precautions and responsibilities.
First, you must make sure that the online store you are ordering from is a
reputable one to avoid internet fraud. In order to do this, you must at
least do a background checking first. Second, you need to protect your privacy
by buying in secure websites only.
Third, always remember to keep a copy of your online transactions for future
validation purposes. And fourth, be extremely careful when checking delivery
receipts because sometimes, errors can not be avoided.

When shopping for auto parts online, buyers should find some features when
choosing your online stores. One is that the online
store should be honest in providing product information and availability.
It must be fast in the processing of orders. The shipping cost and speed should
be reasonable enough and also, it should have a clear return/exchange policy
to avoid problems and confusions.

If you think you have already accomplished all of the above, then i guess you’re
ready to shop for auto parts online. Stop worrying about finding the time to
replace your broken headlights, just simply order
online and enjoy the rest of your time while waiting.

Hallmark Card Studio 2009


softwareThis product does not work well at all. It\’s okay for printing cards but it would be cheaper to buy a card from the store. Sending the card by email creates fuzzy graphics, your inserted text does not show, and high quality jpeg photo files results in a blocky appearance when sent by email. (The same card printed well so it wasn\’t a problem with the jpeg photo.) There are not enough selections of cards, clip art, or music files to warrant the cost. There is no way to reach customer support by email. I tried to return the product to Hallmark but had clipped off the UPC for a rebate even though I had not sent it in, it made it uneligible for return.

Indonesia Says Top Terrorist Suspect Dead

Posted by: admin  /  Category: news

By James hookway and Yuyu Yuniar

noordin is dead

Indonesian police said they killed Southeast Asia’s most-wanted terrorist during a dramatic raid, in what could be a major victory for the government’s fight against Islamic extremists.

The announcement marked the second time in as many months that Indonesian officials claimed to have killed Noordin Mohamed Top, who police say was the mastermind behind July’s suicide bombings of the JW Marriott and Ritz-Carlton hotels in Jakarta. Those attacks killed nine people, including the bombers.

This time, authorities said in a televised press conference that fingerprint tests had positively confirmed that the man they killed was Mr. Noordin. After a similar raid in August, antiterrorism officials said privately they thought they had killed Mr. Noordin, but top police officials declined to confirm the result and later said he had eluded them.

Police are performing DNA tests for a final confirmation. If the tests check out, security analysts believe the killing will send a strong signal that Indonesia is regaining control over domestic terrorist threats after a series of recent missteps.

Indonesian President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono described Mr. Noordin’s apparent death as “an important step in the context of successfully overcoming terrorism.” He added that “this does not mean that all organized cells working in Indonesia have been stopped, so we must continue to be vigilant and take optimal preventative steps to continue teaching terrorist leaders a lesson.”

Mr. Noordin achieved near-legendary status across Southeast Asia after applying his bomb-making and organizational skills to a spree of attacks, including the 2002 Bali bombings that killed more than 200 people, investigators say.

Mr. Noordin was also adept at creating his own deadly networks capable of operating independently of Jemaah Islamiyah, the Indonesia-based Islamist group where he first made his name as a terrorist. In doing so, the 41-year-old Malaysian native represented a new kind of threat for the region: a terrorist capable of working across borders to strike against allies of the U.S. and undermine moderate Muslim governments.

Rohan Gunaratna, an expert on al Qaeda and head of a terrorism research institute at Singapore’s Nanyang Technological University, says Mr. Noordin personified the al Qaeda ideal of being able to strike anywhere, anytime, and may have left a string of fledgling terrorist cells across Indonesia.

“He represented the highest degree of threat, not just in Indonesia, but also in the Philippines, Malaysia and Singapore, where he kept close contact with other terrorists,” Mr. Gunaratna said.

Economists and stock-market analysts applauded the news of Mr. Noordin’s apparent death. The Jakarta blasts at the JW Marriott and Ritz-Carlton hotels on July 17 ended a run of nearly four years without a terrorist strike in Indonesia, and rocked confidence in the world’s most populous Muslim country.
