The Effects of Practice Procedure and Task Difficulty on Tonal Pattern Accuracy.
Date: May 2003
Creator: Cahn, Dan
Description: The study investigated the relative effectiveness of different proportions of time spent on physical and mental practice, in the context of a music performance of a tonal pattern over harmonic progressions of two difficulty levels. Using a sampling without replacement procedure, sixty undergraduate students were assigned to four practice groups partially blocked for musical instrument. The groups included a physical practice group, a mental practice group and two combined mental and physical practice groups in the proportions of (a) 66% physical and 33% mental, and (b) 33% physical and 66% mental. Each subject performed a pretest, a 3 minute practice session, and a posttest on both harmonic progressions. Presentation of the harmonic progressions were counterbalanced to control for practice effects All pre- and posttests were recorded and scored according to number of note errors. An ANCOVA procedure using pretest scores as covariates revealed that: (a) there were no differences between the different practice groups on the measure of note errors, (b) there was a significant difference between the two harmonic progressions on the measure of note errors, such that performance on the easy progression was significantly better than performance on the hard progression, and (c) there was a significant interaction ...

The predictive influence of variables in three different academic learning environments on the intentions of music education majors to leave the degree program.
Date: May 2003
Creator: Corley, Alton L.
Description: Attrition rates among students in music teacher training programs have contributed to a shortage of qualified music teachers for the nation's schools. The purpose of this study was to investigate the predictive relationship of academic variables in three different learning environments and the intent of a select population of music education majors to leave the degree program. The study drew upon the work of Tinto, Bean and Astin to form a theoretical foundation for examining variables unique to student withdrawal from the music education degree plan. Variables were examined within the context of three different learning environments: (1) applied lessons, (2) ensembles and (3) non-performance courses. Participants were 95 freshmen and sophomore music education majors at a public university who were enrolled in the music education degree program during the spring semester, 2002. Data included participant responses on the Music Student Inventory (MSI), a questionnaire developed specifically for the study, and grade data from university records. Independent variables in the study included participants' perceptions of (1) Ensemble experiences, (2) Applied lesson experiences, (3) Non-performance music course experiences, (3) Course requirements, and (4) Performance growth. Additional variables included: (1) Ensemble placement, (2) Course grades for music theory, applied lessons and aural ...

Music student teaching in Texas: A Delphi study of issues in the new millennium.
Date: December 2002
Creator: Cannon, Rodney M.
Description: The preparation of prospective music educators is a very complex undertaking that culminates with the student teaching practicum. However, the music student teaching experience may have less predictable expectations and results than the curriculum that precedes the event. The two-fold purpose of this study was (a) to investigate the music student teaching practicum in the State of Texas in an effort to establish current levels of success as perceived by the music educators involved in the process and (b) to identify any potentially problematic areas which might be in need of attention or revision. Thirty-six music educators (12 university supervisors, 12 cooperating teachers and 12 student teachers) who were recently involved in the music student teaching practicum in Texas were chosen as the sample in this two-round Delphi study. The first round Delphi survey, based on related literature, achieved consensus on 79% of the 108 item responses, and 15 of the 22 unresolved items reached consensus in round two of the Delphi process. The 34 sample members who completed the study ranked a final item in the second Delphi round concerning suggestions for the improvement of student teaching. The respondents showed a very high opinion of the music student teaching ...

A Comparison of Aural and Visual Instructional Methodologies Designed to Improve the Intonation Accuracy of Seventh Grade Violin and Viola Instrumentalists.
Date: May 2002
Creator: Núñez, Mario Leoncio
Description: The purpose of the study was to compare two instructional methodologies designed to improve the intonation accuracy of seventh grade violin and viola instrumentalists. The collection of data was in regard to (1) instructional methodology: aural and aural/visual, (2) performance tasks: A, B, and C; (3) individual pitches (seven from each of the music tasks), and (4) differences between instrument groups: violin and viola. Sixty-eight seventh grade string students from three string classes of two middle schools were randomly assigned to two experimental groups: (a) aural and (b) aural/visual. The instructional period was implemented daily in ten-minute sessions during twenty days by the orchestra instructors of each school. A pretest-posttest format was used to determine if there were any changes in the subjects' intonation accuracy from prior to after the instructional phase was implemented, and if these changes could be attributed to any of the methodologies. The testing material used on both testing sessions included three performance tasks composed of seven notes each. Subjects were recorded on both testing occasions. The data were the scores of absolute pitch deviation, measured in cents from equal temperament, from the pre- and postest; these were treated with analysis of variance. The ANOVA on ...

The Characteristics of Teacher-Directed Modeling Evidenced in the Practices of Three Experienced High School Choral Directors.
Date: December 2001
Creator: Grimland, Fredna H.
Description: The purpose of this study was to analyze the characteristics of teacher directed modeling evidenced in the practices of three experienced high school choral directors. Research questions were: 1. What modeling activities were exhibited in each teacher's rehearsals? 2. When viewing a 45-minute composite tape of each teacher's instructional activities representative of all rehearsals, what instructional behaviors did each choral director recognize and identify as modeling? 3. What instructional episodes on the composite tape not identified by the teachers contained elements of modeling? 4. What other episodes from the remainder of each choral director's rehearsal practice contributed to an understanding of modeling? Videotapes of three high school choral directors were recorded over the course of one semester. Excerpts from rehearsals were combined to form a 45-minute composite tape of each choral director. A text transcription was made of the composite tape. Participant directors viewed their tape and identified instructional episodes that they recognized as examples of modeling. Identifications were analyzed, and descriptive categories of modeling behaviors were established. Modeling was found to be a teacher generated or delegated act of demonstration. Demonstrations were musical or non-musical and belonging to either of three distinct categories: audible, visible, or process modeling. Subdivisions ...

Music preferences, music and non-music media use, and leisure involvement of Hong Kong adolescents.
Date: December 2001
Creator: Hui, Viny Wan-Fong
Description: The study sought to determine the relationships of preference responses to grade, gender, familiarity, musical training, peers'/parents' listening habits, music media use, and listening contexts. Grade six through nine Hong Kong students (N = 310) completed the audio preference test followed by verbal responses to training, peers'/parents' preferences, leisure/music media involvement, and listening context. Results indicated: The preferred genres, in descending order, were Western pop/rock, Cantopop/rock, Western classical; the disliked genres were jazz, Chinese, and non- Western/non-Chinese. Preference correlated strongly with genre familiarity. Pop genres were the most familiar to all adolescents. The students' preference toward Western pop/rock and Cantopop/rock associated with several listening contexts: solitary listening, having great freedom to choose one's desired music for listening, listening to music in one's room, and listening to music as background activity. The adolescents expressed that their leisure activities were spent with their family and friends. However, they made it clear that music listening was a personal activity that very likely was listened to alone. On all listening occasions, the girls exhibited a more positive response than the boys did. With four to five hours daily leisure time, the adolescents watched TV for three to four hours while spending less than two ...

The Application of Hackman and Oldham's Job Characteristic Model to Perceptions Community Music School Faculty Have Towards Their Job
Date: August 2001
Creator: Lawrence, Robert M.
Description: Hackman and Oldham's Job Characteristic Model was applied to study of perceptions community music school faculty hold towards their job. The research questions addressed core job characteristics of skill variety, task identity, task significance, autonomy, and feedback, critical psychological states (experienced meaningfulness, experienced responsibility, and knowledge of results); personal and work outcomes of satisfaction and motivation; need for professional growth. The results were compared to the national norms for nine different job families provided by Oldham, Hackman, and Stepina. Thirty-three schools, all members of the National Guild of Community Schools of the Arts, located in every geographical region of the United States, yielded 437 faculty responses (64% return rate). Of the core job characteristics, dealing with others and autonomy received the highest ratings; feedback and task significance received the lowest ratings. Of the psychological states, experienced responsibility yielded the highest rating and experienced meaningfulness yielded the lowest ratings. Of the personal/work outcomes, personal development and colleague relations received the highest ratings; pay satisfaction and overall general satisfaction received the lowest ratings. A comparison to the professional job family norms, using a one-sample ttest, found significant differences in 16 out of the 18 variables measured by the Job Characteristic Model. Strong ...

The Occupational Aspirations and Expectations of Students Majoring In Jazz Studies At The University Of North Texas
Date: August 2001
Creator: Ramnunan, Karendra Devroop
Description: The purpose of this study was to identify the occupational aspirations and expectations of students majoring in jazz studies, and to investigate relationships between students' aspirations, expectations and selected variables including significant others, choice of school, instrument type, academic achievement, academic level, socioeconomic status, age, gender, and early jazz experience. All jazz studies majors enrolled at the University of North Texas during the Spring 2001 academic semester responded to a pilot test questionnaire (return rate 85%, N = 211). Frequencies, percentages, means, and standard deviations described the students' occupational aspirations, occupational expectations, backgrounds and training in jazz prior to entering UNT, and determined the extent to which parents, relatives, teachers, friends, and role models helped steer them into jazz (Pearson r, Spearman Rho and Point Biserial correlation coefficients provided). The low to moderate positive correlation between aspirations and expectations (r = 0.43) indicated that the two variables were different and measured different types of occupations. Fifty percent of students aspired to be jazz performers whereas 29.7% expected to be jazz performers. While 42% aspired to be engaged in a combination of occupational activities, 48% expected a combination of occupational activities. Only 4.7% aspired to teach; however, almost 16% expected to ...

The use of notated and aural exercises as pedagogical procedures intended to develop harmonic accuracy among beginning jazz improvisers
Date: August 2001
Creator: Laughlin, James Edwin
Description: This study compared the effects from the use of aural and notated exercises as pedagogical procedures for teaching harmonic accuracy to beginning jazz improvisation students. The methods of pedagogy were identified from published pedagogic and historical sources, the results of oral and written traditions of jazz pedagogy. The performance objective was produced from a review of the related literature as a recognized and measurable characteristic of jazz improvisation. The purpose of this study was to compare measurements of harmonic accuracy, following the use of notated and aural exercises as experimental procedures of jazz improvisation pedagogy. A lesson plan, materials, curriculum and outline were developed followed by student recruitment and participation. A total of 20 student volunteers participated in the methods of pedagogy (aural or notation). Data collection consisted of a musical background questionnaire and pre and posttest performance recordings. Student recordings were evaluated by six judges using the "experimental performance evaluation measure." Statistical analyses were conducted, including comparisons of pre to posttest effects between, and among the methods of pedagogy. Although all student participants performed mostly from notated music prior to this study, students who received the aural method of pedagogy produced greater improvement for all measurement items. While the ...

The Effects of Free Play As an Instructional Tool on the Quality of Improvisation of First, Second, and Third Grade Children
Date: December 2000
Creator: Burger, Tammie L.
Description: To look at the effect of free play on the musical improvisations of first, second and third grade children, 108 children were randomly assigned to either a control or treatment group. Subjects were tested using a researcher-designed instrument to elicit an improvisatory response. The control group then received regular music instruction (120 minutes every 2 weeks) and the treatment group received regular music instruction in conjunction with musical free play (100 minutes of instruction and 20 minutes of free play every 2 weeks). The treatment lasted 14 weeks. At the end of the treatment, all students were tested with the same testing instrument used for the pre test. Videotapes of the improvisations were submitted to three independent judges to rate for quality on a 5-point Likert scale. The change in ratings between pre and post tests were analyzed with an analysis of variance to determine if there were significant differences between the control and treatment groups. The analysis of the data revealed no significant difference in the change of ratings between control and treatment groups for the group as a whole, or for any particular grade level within the total group.

Before Arizona monsoon hits, have emergency kit handy
PHOENIX — Monsoon Awareness week begins this week and national and state agencies are encouraging Arizona residents to gear up for severe weather.
The monsoon officially kicks off Saturday and ends Sept. 30. Thunderstorms, high winds, heavy rains, dust storms are not expected to start until early July.That leaves plenty of time to put together enough food and water to carry a household through 72 hours if the power goes out.
"With strong winds it is not uncommon for power to get knocked out for hours at a time or even days at a time," said Dan Leins with the National Weather Service. "So be prepared on the outside chance that something like that happens. It is a possibility."
Leins said emergency supplies should include a first-aid kit, radio, batteries, flashlight, among other items.
Pack a smaller 'go kit' with important documents, cash and phone charger in case of evacuation. Write communication and evacuation plans that identify a family meeting place, account for special needs and pets and include an out-of-town contact. Practice the plan.

Great recipe, thanks. I won't use all the layers next time, turned out kind of dry, ran out of sauce and cheese for all the layers. Flavors of spinach and mushrooms were wonderful. Thanks
Turned out perfectly. I used a bag of frozen spinach, and 1/2 soy cheese. Other than that, I followed closely, and was happy with the results. I even made it in the spring form pan. I'm not sure I would do that again. It was a little fiddly to trim the noodles to fit....but it does allow the lasagne to be much higher! I'll still probably just make in a regular pan in the future.
This is a delicious lasagna. I pretty much followed the recipe except, I added a little vegetable bouillon and ground black pepper to the carrot and mushroom mixtures. I was out of parmesan cheese, so I used havarti instead. This makes a huge pan full(I used a 9x13) and I skipped the last layer of pasta and sauce. Even my 8 year old who hates mushrooms and spinach loved this. Next time I will double the ingredients and try to freeze one. Thanks for the wonderful recipe.
I made this for my birthday dinner last year. It was huge! It looked nothing like the cover, but it was delicious. It was quite a bit of work, but we ate lasagna the entire weekend. Please, get a good quality sauce, or make your own.

Russia's Karjakin takes Norway chess tournament
STAVANGER, Norway Russias Sergey Karjakin won the $130,000 Norway chess championship Saturday after drawing against Veselin Topalov of Bulgaria.
Karjakin needed only a draw against Topalov to take the top prize after the world No. 1 player Magnus Carlsen failed to win against Levon Aronian from Armenia, ranked No. 2.
Karjakin led the nine-day tournament from the beginning, winning his first four games and starting the day on 5.5 points, half a point ahead of Carlsen. He took over five hours to secure the draw.
Playing white, Karjakin handed an early initiative to his opponent with a passive bishop move to e3, giving Topalov hope of a first victory in this tournament.
I got into a bad position, but I knew if I could get a draw I was in with a good chance of winning, Karjakin said. O.K. I didnt play very well here today, but I thought that I would still have huge chances for first place.
There had been high hopes for Carlsen, playing on home ground, but the 22-year-old Norwegian said he had not played his best chess since the event began here on May 7.
I think my play was a little off. In general, the positions I got from white openings werent that bad. I just made some mistakes later on, Calsen said. Karjakin deserves to win.
Carlsen faces Indias five-time world champion Viswanathan Anand in November in the holders home town of Chennai.
The pair met earlier in the tournament, neither securing a victory which would have handed one of them the psychological advantage going into the final few months of their preparation.

KANSAS CITY -- What a difference a good bullpen makes when the pennant races heat up.
The White Sox have gotten a tremendous lift from their relievers who have allowed just one earned run in the last four games -- 0.69 ERA in 13 innings.
Much of the credit for the resurgent group must be credited to manager Robin Ventura and pitching coach Don Cooper, who have provided support for the younger members of the staff and needed rest for the veterans whose innings have begun to mount.
"I have been lucky enough to have some days off and (Cooper ) has watched it for me, which really helps out," said Nate Jones, who won his eighth game without a loss on Monday. "The coaching staff has been doing this for a long, long time so they know when guys can come back-to-back days."
Other elements of a successful bullpen come from pitchers helping each other out.
"I watch our veteran guys every day," Jones said. "They go 100 percent because they know what how important each game is. These guys are bulldogs, you want to model yourself after them. They are like that on and off the field. The routine that they do, the work they do on cardio working hard, you pick up a lot of things just watching them."
General manager Ken Williams has done his job well adding veterans Jesse Crain in 2011 and Brett Myers from the Philadelphia Phillies before the trading deadline this season.
"Getting a late-inning guy like Brett has been huge for us," Matt Thornton said. "He has gone to the playoffs. He has gone to the World Series. He has won a World Series. You can't really put a price tag on that."
The leadership from Thornton, Myers and a healthy Crain has been the difference for the Sox in the last two months, helping take pressure off the younger bullpen guys.

OCZ Vertex 460 120GB SSD Review
OCZ Vertex 460 120GB SSD
The drive packaging keeps the drive secure and away from the other components. OCZ includes a desktop adapter bracket, but it's mounted on the back of the foam case so we don't see it in this image.
Here we get our first look at the actual drive.
The mounting points are where they should be, and OCZ used a 7mm case design. That means Vertex 460 will work in Ultrabooks designed for 7mm drives only.
Inside, we found an OCZ Barefoot 3 controller, two DRAM packages, and eight NAND flash packages.
The Vertex 460 uses the M10 design with a slower clock speed than the M00 used on the Vector 150.
There are two Micron DRAM packages, one on each side of the PCB.
OCZ uses Toshiba 19nm Toggle flash in this product.

| Mistress of Kickassery chapter 1 . 4/17/2013
Just found this and my first thought: Amazing! I shall continue forward.
| Caitlin chapter 7 . 4/4/2013
Wow. This is an absolutely amazing trilogy. I practically flew through what you've written so far. I love the way you write the characters and the story is believable and compelling. I'm really looking forward to seeing where you take this.

Couldn't stop reading this trilogy! I absotuly love radiant garden origin stories, and couldn't stop reading yours. Love the characterization for the crew and I eagerly await the next update.
| venusmelody chapter 7 . 11/16/2012
Zack Fair: voice of unexpected amounts of common sense. I'm glad he made a cameo in this fic.
I enjoyed Leon's self- reflection, in this chapter, too. All your character work is always so spot on: feeling useless while Tifa and Aerith struggle, that flash of jealousy.
And I particularly like the idea behind the hair-cutting ritual, of storing magic.
| ShivaVixen chapter 7 . 10/28/2012
"Yay! New Chapter . . . Oh, crap, Yuffie almost died!" was pretty much my thought process. I meant to review the other chapters first, but I got distracted by a couple new fandoms, like the avengers, so, my bad :}
so, I'm pretty sure Squall (I mean, Leon) is the one possessed, possibly by Braig; Aerith is either coming down with the flu, or dealing with Trepe's ghost haunting her, since she's in the other's room; Yuffie is either going to wake up knowing who attacked her, or without memory of said events (which would be understandable) and . . . Well, I've got no clue with Cloud, or Tifa just yet, but I do know Cid's going to be his usual charming self :)
See you next chapter!
| Saffygirl chapter 7 . 10/28/2012
This was such a cool chapter!
Can't wait for the next update!
| ShivaVixen chapter 1 . 9/15/2012
"that was a short day." :)
I'll have to review the rest of the chapters tomorrow, but I'm really liking this story.
| Sora Tayuya chapter 6 . 8/31/2012
An excellent, enthralling, and captivating chapter as always. Thrilled to see more story is coming to light, and especially as the plot inches closer and closer to the much anticipated climax of the story.
Eager for more, as it always fulfills my day to read a breathtaking work such as this.
| Guest chapter 6 . 8/20/2012
What happened to Yuffie?! :( I can't wait for the next chapter!
| Saffygirl chapter 6 . 8/19/2012

A range of test shots are shown over the next two pages. Here, the full size image has been reduced for bandwidth purposes, and in some case a crop taken from the original full resolution image has been placed below it in order for you to gain an appreciation of the overall quality.
Here's the usual shot of Exeter Cathedral's West Window for detail comparison. I take this same shot with every compact camera I test. Click on the image to see it full size or look at the 100 percent crop below.
The actual level of detail isn't much different to an 8MP pocket compact.
This is the first time I've ever seen a wide-angle lens produce no barrel distortion at all. There is no pincushion distortion at longer focal lengths either.
Corner-to-corner sharpness is also outstanding.
The limited dynamic range has burned out the sky in this shot.
However at least there is no purple fringing.

Cognitive training
The term brain fitness reflects a hypothesis that cognitive abilities can be maintained or improved by exercising the brain, in analogy to the way physical fitness is improved by exercising the body. Although there is strong evidence that aspects of brain structure remain plastic throughout life, and that high levels of mental activity are associated with reduced risks of age-related dementia, scientific support for the concept of "brain fitness" is limited. The term is virtually never used in the scientific literature, but is commonly used in the context of self-help books and commercial products.[1] It first came into play in the 1980s, and appeared in the titles of self-help books in 1989[2] and 1990.[3]
Brain fitness is the capacity of a person to meet the various cognitive demands of life. It is evident in an ability to assimilate information, comprehend relationships, and develop reasonable conclusions and plans. Brain fitness can be developed by formal education, being actively mentally engaged in life, continuing to learn, and exercises designed to challenge cognitive skills.[4] Healthy lifestyle habits including mental stimulation, physical exercise, good nutrition, stress management, and sleep can improve brain fitness.[5] On the other hand, chronic stress, anxiety, depression, aging, air pollution, decreasing estrogen, excess oxytocin, and prolonged cortisol can decrease brain fitness as well as general health.[6]
As of 2010, there was insufficient evidence to recommend any method of preventing age-related memory deficits or Alzheimer's.[7]
Neurogenesis is the creation of new neurons. The more active a particular brain cell is, the more connections it develops with its neighboring neurons through a process called dendritic sprouting. A single neuron can have up to thirty thousand such connections, creating a dense web of interconnected activity throughout the brain. Each neuron can then be stimulated directly through experience (real or imagined) or indirectly through these connections from its neighbors, which saves the cell from cell death.
Physical exercise boosts the brain's rate of neurogenesis throughout life, while mental exercise increases the rate at which those new brain cells survive and make functional connections into existing neural networks.[8][9] Both physical exercise and the challenge from mental exercise increase the secretion of nerve growth factor, which helps neurons grow and stay healthy.[10]
Role of neurotrophins[edit]
Brain fitness is purported to be positively influenced through mental and physical exercises that increase levels neurotrophins. Neurotrophins are a small class of proteins that are vital in neuronal development and function. In development, neurotrophins act to protect and warrant the survival of an adequate number of neurons. The survival of ample neurons is vital to ensure that they are match for target innervations. Neurotrophins also assist cell fate decisions, innervations patterns, the development of axons, dendrite pruning, etc. Neurotrophins are also important for regulating neural function and neuronal survival.[11] Neurons are affected most predominantly by neurotrophins; however, they are important for many parts of the body in addition to the nervous system. Neurotrophins are crucial for the survival of neurons in the peripheral nervous system (PNS) as well as neurons in the central nervous system (CNS).[12] The four most common neurotrophins are Nerve Growth Factor (NGF), Brain Derived Neurotrophic Factor (BDNF), Neurotrophic Factor-3 (NT-3), and Neurotrophic Factor-4/5 (NT-4/5). In order to understand how neurotrophins affects brain fitness, it is important to understand how they work.
Nerve growth factor (NGF) was the first neurotrophin to be discovered and is the most famous.[13] The effects of NGF are present in a multitude of tissues through human development as well as adulthood. NGF is associated with immunity, stress reaction, nerve maintenance and neurodegenerative diseases.[14] NGF is known have a predominant effect on the sympathetic ganglion cells and dorsal root ganglion cells with free nerve endings and the cholinergic neurons of the basal nucleus.[12] Sympathetic ganglion cells are masses of neuronal cell bodies in the sympathetic branch of the visceral (autonomic) nervous system. Dorsal root ganglion are masses of neuronal cell bodies in the posterior portion of the spinal cord where sensory information is processed. Cholinergic neurons are profuse in parts of the brainstem, the base of the forebrain, and the basal ganglia. They are thought to play a role in regulating the general level of activity of CNS neurons, especially during the different phases of wakefulness and sleep and also during learning.[12] Therefore, it can be purported that increased secretion of NGF can stimulate the sympathetic nervous system, the sensory portion of the spinal cord, parts of the brainstem, the base of the forebrain, and the basal ganglia. Perhaps the roles of these individual structures can be facilitated or preserved with increased NGF.
Secretion of brain derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) is stimulated by cortical neurons, and is essential for permanence of striatal neurons in the brain. Both patients with Alzheimer's and with Huntington disease exhibit reduced levels of BDNF.[15] Striatal neurons are the nerve cells that make up the stratium. The stratium is an inclusive term for several structures of the midbrain. The stratium is the major point of entry for receiving input from most or all cortical areas and analyzing inhibitory outputs to the various parts of the midbrain.[12] Therefore, it may be deduced that secretion of BDNF can have an influence on many parts of the cerebral cortex and coincidentally the functions of the areas influenced.
Spiral ganglion neurons are particularly sensitive to neurotrophic factor-3 (NT-3).[12] The spiral ganglion neurons contain the cell bodies of the auditory primary afferent fibers. The central process of these cells collect at the base of the cochlea to form the cochlear division of the eight nerve [12] These afferent fibers carry auditory impulses toward the central nervous system. Therefore, it may be reasoned that healthy levels of NT-3 can preserve the function of these cells that are crucial for processing auditory information in the brain.
An article entitled "Neurotrophin 4/5 is a trophic factor for mammalian facial motor neurons" summarizes a study that was conducted on the researchers' findings in 1993. The research suggests that NT-4/5 prevents injuries that cause death of facial motor neurons in neonatal rats. Additionally, there is functional receptor for NT-4/5 in facial motor neurons that can be serviceable thought embryonic development and even postnatal life. Thus, both NT-4/5and brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) may be physiological survival factors for facial motor neurons and may serve as restorative means for motor neuron disease.[16]
Activities presumed to promote brain fitness[edit]
Not all brain activity exercises the brain in the same way.
- Activities that require you to use all your senses, break your routines and engage in novel experiences which can create BDNFs(neurotrophins) as explained in the book Keep Your Brain Alive, Workman Publishing.
- Activities that involve planning ahead, like chess, stimulate the frontal lobe area of the brain.[17]
- Activities like ballroom dance and basketball, train short range spatial skills, used when one walks through a short limited space, like the interior of a house.[citation needed]
- Activities like learning a new language or painting require the coordinating of multiple regions of the brain.[citation needed]
- Physical exercise promotes BDNF.[18]
- Reading books, and writing[19]
- Cognitive training games and Educational games[20][21]
Practical effects[edit]
A significant issue in brain fitness work has been establishing that brain training exercises have impacts on brain function that exist outside the context of the training task.[22]
Other studies, however, have looked at changes in tests of everyday function that occur after brain-based training. In a review of these studies, the following significant effects were noted. Improvements on speed of processing training tests were related to improvements in the Timed Instrumental Activities of Daily Living test (TIADL). Evidence of ceiling effects were also noted, indicating that subjects who were further below normal at the beginning of training had the largest expected gains. Further, the effect sizes may be related to customizing the training difficulty to the performance level of the trainee. Subjects trained with one training strategy, the Useful Field of View test (UFOV), showed significant improvements in an on-the-road driving test designed to evaluate driver response during potential dangerous situations. Specifically, subjects trained with UFOV made fewer dangerous maneuvers after training.[23] In another study, the researchers have found that action video game experience is shown to improve trainees' probabilistic inference. These results were established both in visual and auditory tasks, indicating generalization across modalities.[24] In a study performed with air force flight cadets, it was shown that training addressing attention control processes yielded significant transfer of skills from the training environment to actual flight.[25]
Lately, brain training games have been actively marketed as a "magic bullet" for Alzheimer's and Dementia. While there are few studies showing effectiveness of brain training for older adults,[26][27][28] it has to be noted that many brain training games are purely commercial and have no scientific footing. To address growing public concerns with regard to aggressive online marketing of brain games to older population, a group of neuroscientists published a letter warning the general public that there is a lack of research showing effectiveness of brain games in elderly.[29] Authors of this letter suggest that many popular computerized training programs are not very effective, and some other interventions, such intense physical exercise, may have greater benefits. However, recent work shows that brain speed training, specifically, led to a 33% decreased risk of dementia onset. Dr. Jerri Edwards, the principal investigator of this work, responded to the consensus letter with "I'm sick of our studies being ignored."[30] With regard to research studies supporting benefits of brain training games for older adults, there is a strong evidence that participants transfer of skills to real life activities is limited to the cognitive domains of the trained task.[31][32]
Another recent market for "brain training" services is children who are not meeting academic expectations in school. Students' performance on standardized norm-reference tests of cognitive abilities (e.g., Woodcock-Johnson Test of Cognitive Ability - IV) serve as a guide to determine which cognitive processes are relative strengths and weaknesses. For a description of these processes, see Cattell–Horn–Carroll theory. A pre-training test provides both data on proposed weaknesses in need of training and a baseline measurement to compare performance on post-training administrations of the test. The assumption is that identifying and training a weaker cognitive process will result in generalizable improvements to academic performance. Cognitive training takes an analogue form of the skill performed on the test, and predictably does improve performance on that discrete skill in post-test measures. There is currently no evidence that this improvement in these discrete, trained skills generalizes to better performance on higher order, more complex intellectual or academic skills.[33][34]
Several commercial and academic programs have arisen to provide brain training services.
Neurobics are mental exercises, that claim to enhance the brain's performance.[35] These exercises are described by Lawrence Katz and Manning Rubin in their book Keep Your Brain Alive, however they are not scientifically proven.[35][36] The term neurobics was popularized by Lawrence Katz in 1999.[37] It is presumed that unusual sensory stimulation and activities like non-routine actions and thoughts, produce more of such chemicals of the neurobiology system of body that encourage growth of new dendrites and neurons in the brain. Routine actions become so automatic to the individual that most of actions are done largely unconsciously. Such automated or unconscious actions require less activity in the brain, and exercise it less. With the help of neurobics exercises, it is claimed that one can stimulate the brain.

When planning our family holiday in Morocco, we scatter-gunned a load of Riad's. Nicole the owner of Baladin confirming availability and offering to organise accommodation for a 11 night tour of the country. We stayed in 5 different Riad's across country all of which were booked and confirmed by Nicole and all excellent, Nicole had booked a hire car for us from Essaouira but the vehicle was in a crash being transferred back for our use, it was the end of Ramadan and all hire cars were booked due to public holidays. Claudia (covering for a heavily pregnant Nicole) organised a car and driver, it worked out more expensive but pros outweighed cons, more importantly Baladin helped out in a emergency.

I have been taking a quality fish oil supplement from another company and read about the benefits of Krill oil. I've been using Neptune Krill oil for about a month. I like the small capsule size, the lack of fish smell and the lack of after effects. It hasn't been long enough to notice any additional benefits in terms of skin tone or joint health.

Utah researcher wins grant to study potentially deadly melanoma genes
Laura Seitz, Deseret News
SALT LAKE CITY — A Utah researcher is getting big money to study specific genes that play a role in the cause and spreading of melanoma.
Dr. Matt VanBrocklin, a Huntsman Cancer Institute investigator and assistant professor in the University of Utah's Department of Surgery, received $1.5 million from the National Cancer Institute to continue his research on mutations in c-KIT, already identified as the most common cancer-causing event in certain melanomas, including those caused by chronic sun damage.
VanBrocklin is using mice to track the role of c-KIT and test whether active c-KIT can cause melanoma, a devastating and sometimes deadly skin cancer.
"We need to discover more details about how c-KIT works in melanoma tumors and what other genetic factors may be interacting with it as the cancer progresses and spreads to other parts of the body," he said. The goal of the ongoing research is to develop new, more effective treatments for patients whose tumors have similar gene mutations.
More than 76,600 people have been diagnosed with melanoma in the United States this year, and the disease has killed more than 9,480 people so far, according to the National Institutes of Health, which presented the grant to VanBrocklin.

Geodesic active contour (GAC) model is a common used method for image segmentation. But one drawback of this model is that it's difficult to control the number of iterations and sometimes may produce over-segmentation results. In this paper, the generalized GVF in the normal direction (GNGVF) is proposed, and an improved GAC model which combines GAC with GNGVF is proposed. When the distance between the evolution curves produced by successive iterations is smaller than some given threshold, the on-off function will change and different force will affect. The new force can extend the capture range and stop the curve at the boundary stably avoiding over-segmentation. The experimental results show the curve can converge to boundary well.

Me and my boyfriend decided to come to this hotel while Queen's Day in Amsterdam was on as is was good value for money considering how expensive some hotels were. The festival itself was mental (and may I recommend it!) and I didn't realise until on the day that all trams and taxi's in central Amsterdam were stopped because the crowds are so big. This meant getting around in the city was a little difficult if you don't know your way around.
On arrival from the airport, which must have been 15 minutes away by tram (trams 1 and 17 will get you to the hotel - check with the tourist information at the airport to find out the routing) we arrived early at 8am and was told our room would be ready by 12pm so we went around the city to explore. When we came back around 1pm to be told our room still wasn't ready. Reception gave us an alternative room so we could sleep while our proper room was being prepared. Which was a little frustrating as we wouldn't have come back so early if our room wasn't finished. By 3pm all was resolved and we moved into our proper room.
The room itself is lovely - really funky decor, comfy bed, nice telly with some English speaking channels - news channels too. The bathroom and bath were really lovely - it had a walk-in shower too which was nice!
Breakfast was really expensive at the time of booking but its worth me mentioning that there is no-where nearby to eat so we did decide to book this while at the hotel. The hotel kindly gave us our first morning's breakfast for free (after we explained the room mishap) which was much appreciated. Breakfast was great - and I do recommend booking it as there is a wide choice of cooked breakfast, yoghurt, toast, fruit, croissants, juice, coffee etc so although it might seem pricey - its definitely worth doing.
The reception were really helpful - taking our luggage while we were sight-seeing, helping us with our room and getting around the city - they helped us plan our routes and all spoke great English.
On Saturday early on, we went to Vondelpark to see the little market stalls set up and buy some orange novelty gear - Queen's Day is all about walking the streets and drinking in the atmosphere - and having some Heineken! So we walked around for a bit - the main areas on Queen's day are: Jordaan, Dam Square, Museumplein, and Nieuwmarkt. Ladies, please note the amount of broken glass that ends up on the floor throughout the day, so don't wear any open-toed shoes.
All in all this hotel is fantastic and although I rate it, personally I recommend the Red Light District area for hotels. On my trip to Amsterdam before, I stayed in the Red Light District and it meant I was right in the centre of everything and very close to Central Station. If you are staying at this hotel - you will have a fantastic time and enjoy it.
Tips for Queen's Day: Wear Orange!!
- Official Description (provided by the hotel):
- Fashion Hotel Amsterdam (4-stars) is situated opposite the World Fashion Centre, within ring road A10 of Amsterdam. It has a fantastic location; Leidseplein is within a 10 minute tram ride, Schiphol Airport and Amsterdam RAI are also 10 minutes from the hotel by car and the Vondelpark is only a 5 minute walk away. This makes the hotel suitable for a business stay, but also weekend break to Amsterdam. Fashion Hotel in Amsterdam has 260 spacious modern design rooms with free WIFI internet. After a visit to Fashion's Restaurant and Bar, with adjacent terrace, you can drink cocktails in the stylish SKYY Bar on the 10th floor. It has a great view over the city. ... more less

A young black man is on death row for a murder that he maintains he did not commit. Connery plays a liberal, anti-death penalty law professor who gets talked into trying for a new appeal in the case. Turns out that the convict was indeed beaten and coerced into making his confession in what was otherwise a fairly thin case against him. But all is not what it seems, and more would be telling. This one held my interest throughout. It has a somewhat strange moral message if you want to call it that.
One of the better suspense/murder films out there. This one is worth a try, especially for Sean Connery fans.
I don't get why so many people didn't like this movie, and why is there all those negative reviews about the film ?
This film is just great, it has an interesting plot, great acting by all the stars and a good ending.
So don't you guys pay any attention to those negative reviews, this movie has it all.
I personally think that this is one of connery's best movies with an amazing performance by all especially connery !
And the scene where connery's character interviews Harris's character is one of my favourite scenes, quit memorable and thrilling !
This is a must BUY movie and is highly recommended !
Good supporting cast (Lawrence Fishburne, among others) and good writing and direction supplies this film with the tools it needed to come across as one of many Connery's choice as an actor to be in after his James Bond days. It is one of those suspense thrillers that keeps you wondering if Mr Underwood (famous among other things for the successful TV show L.A. Law) Playing the character in death row pleading for a last chance after exhausting all avenues in appeals to convince the law he was wrongly convicted. Although this story has been done before or after this film was made, still has the ability to stand on his own.

The 2015 Agile Yorkshire Annual Lightning Talks Competition
Standing up and sharing though public speaking is the life blood of Agile Yorkshire's monthly meetup and many of it's speakers travel to Leeds from all around the country. However a few years ago we decided to try to find more speakers from within our community and celebrate their experience, knowledge and diversity with an annual Lightning Talks Competition. This started with a modest four speakers but has now grown to fill the available two hours with nine speaking slots. For 2015 entries were again oversubscribed and while this is unfortunate it's a recognition of it's popularity and success. We open up the event space to get as many people in as possible, we buy mince pies and find a "significant prize" to award to the favourite on the night. This year Steve Trapps was voted by the attendees a worthy winner. Watch them all to judge for yourself.
