Submitted 2017-03-25 18:39:22 Philosophers throughout the millennia have spent much effort in trying to define 'the mind' and even todayit's not all clear what exactly it is. Some would say that the mind is the seat of the soul and others that it is nothing more than the sum total of one's experience Cheap Mark Giordano Jersey , which could also be called 'consciousness'. For the sake of simplicity. I am calling 'mind' here all that which can be said to be primarily experienced in the head - personality, thinking process, intellectual capacity, moods as in feeling 'up' or 'down', and emotions such as love and fear.

Ironically perhaps for the 'seat of feeling', the brain has no pain receptors, so after cutting through the skull with local anaesthetic, brain surgery can be done without anaesthetic and the patient conscious. The brain seems a well-defined organ but some of the nerves within it are over a meter where does the brain end and the body begin? one could say the brain ends at our fingertips, working on a computer terminal Cheap Matthew Tkachuk Jersey , for example, that's how far the brain's messages go ( biologically, at least. Technically, the brain is about three pounds of pink and grey wet matter, 90 percent water.

From an engineering and computational point of view, the brain is the most complex, structure known as it is thought to have 100billion cells and 100,000 billion possible connections.

With training, people with a certain aptitudes can perform remarkable mathematical feats Cheap James Neal Jersey , as in the case quoted in Supernature 11, of Aitken who, when asked to turn 447 into a decimal he replied in four seconds with 'point 0851063829782340425531914', then he paused for and continued '98361702127659574468',and that's the repeating point.

It starts again then at 085.' Aitken who was a professor of mathematics at the University of Edinburgh, is obviously a smart guy, but to accomplish these feats, he had to train his memory, which everyone can do. as far as can be guessed Cheap Johnny Gaudreau Jersey , good memory was evolutionarily advantageous in the days when we needed to communicate survival information, history and custom from generation to generation, but had no writing with which to do di. the memorizers were the libraries. Then, as now the brain constantly modifies itself, learning more each day, using and re-using connections, finding new ways to do things.

As we know, if children are started early enough with intense teaching , they can absorb a phenomenal amount of information by their teens. why we have this huge mental capacity and whatever its evolutionary past may be Wholesale Calgary Flames Jerseys , it is a delight for humans to exercise and test our brains. We take pride in being able to fix the car, finish the crossword, win an argument, put our political point, pass the exam and so on. But the brain is more than our valid tool, it is our friend, our confidant, our security and our home.

We more than remember and compute, we feel. Tears pop out of our eyes; rage turns our face red. All this may be evolutionary advantage - if we didn't feel angry when someone stole our last fish Wholesale Flames Jerseys , we wouldn't fight to get it back and maybe we would have starved; i9f we didn't feel love, who would take care of the babies? Emotions may not seem so great when your'e sitting on the sofa, tears rolling down the cheeks because your partner has just moved out, but it's a mechanism, feeling, loss, which accentuates its other side - feelings great together, which is the glue that keeps us in the evolutionary-favourable pair-bonding and social groups.

Have you thought about retirement? Well, I'm focusing on the enormous changes in the workforce over the next few years. Leader Cheap Calgary Flames Jerseys , are you worried? You should be! Let's explore a critical leadership issue. With massive retirements of the Baby Boomers nearing, America needs to address the replacement workforce. Harding, who wrote Understanding Emerging Workforce Trends, describes this new replacement force as the Emergent Workforce (EW), which crosses age groups, gender, race, and geography. For the first time, America will have four different generations in the workforce. Businesses
