North Korea appears to have little influence over voter sentiment here ahead of Wednesday's general election as many have grown tired of the hackneyed security issues involving the communist state, analysts said Monday.
Some observers presumed that amid strident talk of Pyongyang moving to launch a long-range rocket and conduct a third nuclear test, voters could have jitters and seek stability in favor of the ruling bloc. But that prediction seems to be far-fetched.
"I don't think voters are still naive or ignorant when any political force seizes on North Korea to turn the political tide in its favor. We have just had enough of that," said Won Kyu-wang, a 45-year-old office worker in Seoul.
Yoon Pyung-joong, a political philosophy professor at Hanshin University, said that past attempts to use North Korea in the elections backfired with voters staying abreast of the political maneuvering.

"Whether they were conservative or liberal, there had been attempts to use North Korea as a tool to influence the electoral outcome. Former President Kim Dae-jung announced his plan to hold the first-ever inter-Korean summit several days prior to the general election in 2000," he said.
"But those attempts failed to achieve their desired effect. Voters have already learned of the political maneuvering. They are not naive enough to be fooled by that again."
While the North has persistently stuck to its military adventurism, under which it conducted two nuclear tests in 2006 and 2009, South Koreans now just shrug off threats from Pyongyang, Yoon added.
"When the North conducted the first nuclear test, the repercussions here lasted for quite a long time. But the shock has significantly diminished since the second test. I believe a third test, should it ever occur, would not have any considerable impact on voter sentiment," he said.
"What matters most for voters is issues concerning their livelihood and the overall economy. North Korea is no longer an issue that directly affects their lives."
However, renewed tensions from North Korea's provocative acts could help bring existing conservative voters together, although they may not lead to an increased support base for the ruling bloc, said Choi Young-jin, a political science professor at Chung-Ang University.
"North Korea is no longer any significant variable in the elections after the Kim Dae-jung government. However, it can be a factor to help conservative voters coalesce," he said.
"But that may not lead to the creation of a new support base for the ruling bloc or cause any group to bolt from their original affiliation and join the conservative camp."
Amid signs that the North is in the final stage of preparations for a satellite launch, the ruling and opposition parties alike are carefully watching the developments, hoping that they will not have any negative ramifications for them.
Some in the ruling Saenuri Party are apparently concerned that voters could feel bad about the current Lee Myung-bak administration's failure to improve ties with Pyongyang.
The main opposition Democratic United Party also looks apprehensive that, at a time of inter-Korean tension, voter sentiment could turn unfavorable for the opposition bloc.
After government intelligence officials revealed just three days before the parliamentary elections that the North is preparing for another nuclear test, the opposition party responded sensitively.
"We call for all efforts to stop the rocket launch and secure peace on the peninsula. There should not be any action that sparks suspicion that (the government) tries to use the North for domestic politics)," DUP spokesperson Park Yong-jin said in a statement.

Some women find it harder to get along with other women than it is to get along with men. That may be because women can be catty. They may be jealous of each other or read too much into what is said. They over-analyze things and may be insecure with themselves and their own successes. By treating others in a kinder way, you'll open the door to female friendship.
Be a nice person. It sounds trite, but it really does boil down to that. A nice person doesn't back stab or secretly think mean thoughts about someone else.
Keep the judgements to yourself. When asked why they have more male friends than female, women answered that they find each other to be very judgemental.
Consider yourselves in the same boat instead of competing with each other. Create a feeling of solidarity with other women by using the phrases "we" and "us" at work. This will help form a bond between you and female co-workers.
Look for female friends who share some of your interests. No one can blame you for not wanting to make small talk about a hobby you have no desire to participate in. If you join group that interests you, though, you're more likely to find women that interest you as friends.
Ask other women for their opinion. Whether it's about a work project, committee idea or your scarf, if you show a woman that you value her opinion, she'll appreciate it. Mutual respect will be born.
Find things you have in common and talk about them. Women love to gab. Talk about what your kids are doing in school, what's happening with you husband or how your mother-in-law is driving you crazy. Having a good venting session bonds most women.

Across the street from Brooklyn landmark Junior's, faculty and students from Long Island University (LIU) are waging a battle with the administration in the latest labor dispute rocking higher education in the United States. Newspapers from The Guardian to New York Times have reported that administrators, facing declining enrollments and revenue, took the unprecedented step of locking out faculty, preempting an anticipated strike over contract negotiations. As soon as the last contract expired on August 31, professors found they had been cut off from their health insurance and denied access to email, and that old syllabi had been posted for their courses.
The draconian measures of the administration have resulted in support for the faculty from public authorities, other unions, and students. The New York City public advocate, Letitia James, sent LIU President Kimberly Cline a letter advising her to sign contracts with all four unions at the institution and warning her that hiring replacement workers for faculty "will only exacerbate your troubled relationship with labor in New York City."
Yet there is a bigger lesson here than a union struggle: this is what happens when an institution of higher learning passing for a private university is really a for-profit institution. All the reporting on the LIU debacle has omitted to mention this fact, interpreting the university's claim to be "private" to mean the same as it does when nonprofit liberal arts colleges and universities claim to be "private" universities.
But LIU's "private" should be clarified to mean "private for-profit". While most for-profit colleges are comparatively recent, LIU was founded in 1926. A university that makes 90% of its profit from student tuition has a business model no different from the defunct Trump or Phoenix U. LIU's masquerading as a private university is the triumph of marketing over reason, and the complicity of all involved – administration, faculty, and alumni – in the cover up of this reality. It has blown up because the demand for profit is unsustainable against the academic standards that should in theory govern an institution of higher education.
Is it any wonder, then, that the university leadership had prepared for the lockout by hiring temporary instructors, many of them unqualified for the courses they were assigned to teach? They also told administrators they had to teach courses in addition to their other duties or face being terminated. As Emily Drabinski, the coordinator of library instruction and secretary of the faculty union, told The Nation: "I think this administration thinks it doesn't matter who's teaching in the classroom. I think they think that teaching and learning is about a production of commodities, that it's about delivering something to students, filling a student with learning that they will then go out and use to make money, and that's not what higher education is about."
There are about 8,000 students at LIU taught by about 250 full-time faculty and about two hundred adjunct professors. Under the new contract, the adjuncts, who are paid by the number of courses taught, would have their teaching load reduced from 12 to nine credit hours. Pay for office hours would be eliminated, and new hires would be paid less under a two-tier wage system.
The Atlantic reported that Arthur Kimmel, an adjunct at LIU for over 20 years, would have his income cut by 30 to 35 percent. "That's because, in addition to the $1,800 or so per course he teaches, he has received pay for having office hours and money from an adjunct- benefits trust fund to help defray the cost of health insurance. Kimmel says the university's proposal would eliminate the adjunct- benefits trust fund and payments for office hours, among other cuts. The new proposal would also decrease the number of credit hours he could teach, and establishes a two-tier system for adjuncts so that new employees would receive less than Kimmel does."
Many of the tenured faculty's salaries are 20 percent lower than their colleagues at LIU's C.W. Post campus in Nassau County, and this is a sticking point in the contract negotiations. Brooklyn professors worry that their campus, which serves more black, Latino and low-income students than C.W. Post, is undervalued by the administration. Tuition is the same at both campuses—$34,352 per year.
The administration is also proposing a new post-tenure review process that would allow administrators more control over academic standards. On Tuesday, tenured faculty voted 226 to 10 to reject the proposed contract, and the faculty senate voiced their support for a vote of no confidence in Cline. They rallied outside the Brooklyn campus with a giant inflatable rat as classes began on Wednesday September 7, taught by non-union members. On Thursday hundreds of students walked out to protest the lockout.
Students are told they will get high quality education that will qualify them for high-paying jobs, but professors are pressured to graduate struggling students in order to keep the tuition money rolling in. And while some of those who graduate from LIU find jobs in pharmacy and healthcare, two fields where the institution has had success in placing its graduates, only 26% of its student body manages to graduate at all. This means that 74% of students take on loans for a degree they will never finish. The administration and the faculty have long known this, but still persist in calling LIU a "private" university.
Students are encouraged to think of education as a commodity by LIU's efforts to market itself as a private university. Hakim Sulaimani, a psychology major, is protesting the lockout because, he says, "You expect to get what you're paying for. You're paying upwards of 40 grand for a certain level of education and you're expecting a quality education. I selected certain professors because they're very passionate and knowledgeable about their subjects. I expect to be taught by the guy I signed up for and not some guy who just popped up two weeks ago."
"We aren't planning to go back to class at all until our professors are back," said Sharda Mohammed, 18, a sophomore studying philosophy. "Today I walked into my English class and the guy gave us a syllabus and told us we could leave. He couldn't even pronounce the names of the books. They are charging us full tuition for this, and they're not teaching us," she added.
While students feel rightly cheated, the bigger lesson is that for profit institutions, even older ones like LIU, are incompatible with the goals of higher education. The LIU faculty deserves support, but they should abandon their collusion with the administration in branding LIU as a "private" university. The administration has exposed what drives LIU. It is not a love for higher learning, its faculty, or its students. It is the same thing that drove the now defunct Trump U: greed.

Medical marijuana studies and reports show that using marijuana can affect our sleep. While many weed devotees know that cannabis can make us sleepy and help get rid of insomnia, that is not the only thing we should know about smoking marijuana. Let us find out all the peculiarities of marijuana as a sleep aid.
THC strains are rather widespread in the United States. That is why most of us are familiar with their effects. If the strain contains more THC than CBD, it means that it will make you high, while the strain rich in CBD will not. The minimum high can be provided by the strains that have approximately the same content of THC and CBD. However, CBD-dominated strains are not widespread in the United States. That is why it is rather hard to compare the two types. But the research conducted in 2006 shed some light on this problem and showed that CBD strains were a good choice for daytime use and people who suffer from somnolence. However, it is not recommended to use high-CBD strains before sleep.
It is a well-known fact that indica strains are better in case you seek relaxation and good sleep, while sativa provides you with an uplifting effect and makes you energetic and active. Why does it happen? Some studies show that almost all indica strains that make you sleepy include terpene. While most indica strains contain more terpene than their sativa competitors, the former provide patients with a better chillaxing effect.
It is said that when you smoke aged weed, it is better for your sleep. But why does it happen? The thing is that THC tends to turn into CBN (cannabinol) with time. CBN is a sedating chemical that has a great relaxing effect. However, CBN takes a long time forming.
If you want to increase the effectiveness of cannabis for a better sleep, you can pair it with some natural remedies like hops, chamomile, valerian, or lavender. In that case, the sedative efficacy will be greater and provide you with an enhanced sleeping experience.
That is true. Cannabis relieves you from stress and provides the necessary relaxation so that your body and mind are ready for a good sleep. But remember that weed-infused edibles will affect you differently. While it takes longer to notice their effects, you will probably have to wait until you fall asleep. However, they are great to stay asleep longer because of their gradual action.
Some patients do not feel very well after smoking weed the night before. The so-called "hangover" cannot be comparable to the alcohol one, but you may feel a little bit dehydrated, dry-eyed, and foggy. If you want to avoid such symptoms, use only clean and tested marijuana. And try to drink a lot of water and eat healthy food in the morning afterwards.
REM sleep, or rapid eye movement sleep, is a phase when a person has dreams. If you are a constant marijuana user, your REM sleep reduces, which means that you may lack dreams. If having dreams means a lot for you, just stop using cannabis for a while, and you will experience the so-called "REM rebound."
Many of us suffer from sleep apnea. Apnea is an obstruction of breath that can happen anytime at night and last for several seconds or even a few minutes. When it happens, we wake up and do not get enough sleep. Some of us feel irritable and suffer from headaches due to apnea. Smoking cannabis can help patients get rid of night apnea because THC is capable of improving your breathing.

Corey and his wife Amy live in Fredericton, New Brunswick, where he began pastoring a church plant in 2015. He grew up in a Christian home and was converted at the age of 16, feeling an immediate call to full-time ministry. He graduated from Bible college in 2011 and was ordained for ministry in 2015.
Corey's Testimony of Conversion
I grew up in a home where both of my parents were believers. We went to a typical, small-town Baptist church for most of my childhood. I actually started going with them to the Sunday morning service when I was five years old.
One Sunday our pastor gave a vivid sermon on the terror of hell. Like I said, I was only five or six at the time; but I remember thinking about how terrible a place it was and that I did not want to go there. When we came home, I stopped by the washer and dryer in the mudroom of our house and asked my mother how to not go to hell. I was crying in fear. She told me to pray after her, and so I did.
And on that day I received absolutely nothing. Though the Lord certainly was kind to me, I was still unconverted. He kept me from any kind of grievous sin, but as I grew, so did my desire for the sin that surrounded me. Oh, of course I didn't get involved with any of the partying or the fornication or the drinking; but it was not because of any love for the Lord – it was only out of pride.
I wanted to be the good boy. I wanted my parents to think well of me. I didn't want to be "bad." So I behaved very morally, but inwardly I longed for sin and despised God. I wanted nothing to do with prayer or the Word.
However, I started going with a local youth group to a monthly retreat when I was sixteen. Month after month I was deeply convicted, but it did not have a lot to do with what was preached – I cannot remember any of it. But I remember the Lord drawing me. I knew I had to surrender my pride and my life and to follow Him, but I was unwilling. Not once, not twice, but six times I resisted.
At the seventh youth rally, however, I confessed my pride before God and asked for forgiveness. I remember feeling like a fish on the end of a hook, and I had finally given in and submitted to the Lord. I went up to the front to pray for forgiveness, not because going there would save me; rather, it was an expression of my repentance – as a young man who prided myself on my self-righteousness, nothing was more offensive to me than going forward, thereby admitting I was a sinner.
But I did. And I am so thankful the Lord drew me. Immediately after I arrived home, I began reading the Bible; I remember weeping over the pages in Matthew. I saw my sin for what it was, I saw God for who He is, and all of it brought me to tears. Life did not get easier after my conversion; but, thankfully, Matthew 10 prepared me for that.
Since then, the Lord has continued to teach, stretch, grow, and sanctify me.
Corey's Call to Ministry
From the time I was converted, there was a strong pull toward ministry – not like a bolt of lightning or a mental zap, but a steady, growing knowledge that the Lord was calling me into ministry. He used the affirmation of godly men, a desire within myself to learn and to teach, and the constant drawing of the Holy Spirit to show me this reality.
Unfortunately for me, I decided instead I would go to Acadia University and take pre-med, with the aim of becoming a doctor. I did this fully knowing it was not the Lord's will for me, and I really felt like Jonah in the belly of the fish. The Lord confounded my thoughts and made me miserable. It was as if His thumb was pressing down upon me, and the pressure was great. So at the end of the year, I left medicine and went to Bible college.
Since then, the Lord has continually prepared me for whatever ministry He has had in store. After graduating from Washington Bible College in 2011, I worked as a carpenter during the winter and directed Bible camps for an organization called "One Hope Canada." It was my job to oversee the entire camp ministry, and the Lord used the high-demand jobs to prepare my wife and me for church planting here in Fredericton.
Pastor Dave asked me in 2011 to pastor the church in Fredericton. I initially had no desire, but I told him I would pray about it. After four years of prayer, the Lord changed my entire disposition toward pastoral ministry. In 2015, I was joyfully ordained into the SBC as a minister, and we began the church plant here in Fredericton.
Amy's Testimony of Conversion
I did not grow up in a traditional Christian home. My Dad and Mom met in church, but as soon as they married, he stopped going. Growing up, my Mom was a guidepost for me to the Lord. She would read the Bible to my sister and me and would have us write down our prayers. She always brought us to church and taught us about God. Looking back, I can see that she demonstrated her faith in the Lord many times by trusting Him to provide for her and her daughters on those occasions when we needed to leave the house while she was looking for work or a place to stay. He always provided.
When I was about five or six years old, I saw a play at my church called "Heaven's Gate and Hell's Flame." In that play, there is a scene where a mother and her daughter get separated – one goes to heaven and the other to hell. I knew where my Mother was going, and I knew I was not going there. I also wanted Jesus to be my father, since I didn't have much of one in my Dad. I remember going down and talking to my Sunday school teacher, who led me to pray to ask Jesus into my heart. I did not quite understand. Later that night, my Mom talked to me about the play and why I went to the front. I told her I knew where she was going and that I did not want to be apart from her; but more importantly, I wanted Jesus as my father.
I went through a time of rebellion as a teenager – knowing what the Lord required but refusing to listen – for about a year. The Lord disciplined me during this time; though it was unpleasant and led to a lot of strife with my family, He was patient toward me. I began to realize I had been taught a lot of things about God that were wrong, and though I was sure He loved me, I realized I knew very little about Him. Over the last five or six years, He has begun to open my eyes to see Him truly: how He would have me serve Him, how He would have me be in a relationship with Him, and what He is like according to His word.
Recent Update
The month of May was full of encouragement mingled with trials for Christ Community Church. In my previous updates, I asked for prayer for an outreach we would be doing every Monday for each of the five weeks of May. We were going into the streets to share the gospel and hand out tracts with a full-time evangelist named Kirk Hubick. At the end of the five weeks, there were two things apparent that the Lord was doing.
First, He was putting a spirit of receptiveness and seriousness into the hearts of those with whom we had the opportunity to share. Many times the tracts were earnestly considered, where in the past they were simply thrown out. The people appeared to have a genuine concern for their spiritual condition and the God they had offended. Of course, neither of those things indicate conversion, but it seems the water of our prayers started softening the soil of their hearts. This was evident not only in the Monday outreach, but also in day-to-day opportunities and religious conversations. Pray that the Lord will continue to increase this here in Fredericton and that it would not come to nothing.
Secondly, the Lord increased our boldness collectively. Though our church is quite small, most of the members decided to come out into the streets and share the gospel. Kirk was encouraged and told us that, aside from his own church, it was the highest turnout he had ever seen.
As good as all of this is, I ask that you would pray that all the wonderful evangelistic work already done would not hinder a spirit of ongoing evangelism among our people. It is easy for us to think that, because we have done an "outreach," we have now filled our "evangelism quota" or gotten it out of the way or that the only time it is appropriate is when we set a special time aside to go and do it. For most Christians, the gospel will come up in regular conversation, and I pray that the congregation here would not lose sight of that and that the Lord would continue to give a Spirit of boldness as people draw near to Him!
Also, please pray that obnoxious zeal would not be mistaken for boldness, but that love and compassion would color all of our words to the perishing. There have been a few times where I have had to speak to people about this. There is nothing honoring to God when we berate people, are yelled at in return, and call it persecution. When the Lord was reviled and did not revile in return, it was not because He had to bite his tongue. He loved the people, and because He loved them, He endured their insults patiently. Please pray that the Lord would further cultivate this kind of spirit among us – a spirit that would rather sacrifice for their enemies than beat them in a verbal tussle.
We were blessed mid-way through the month by having brothers Mack Tomlinson and Michael Durham come to stay with us in New Brunswick for a week. We were all so thankful that they could come, and Brother Tomlinson addressed the attitude that must influence our evangelism, how it is one of mercy and compassion. It was an answer to prayer and greatly appreciated.
One other thing the Lord has been doing is increasing a spirit of prayerfulness in His people. We have been led to start a monthly Saturday night prayer meeting (in addition to our weekly prayer and Bible study), and we had our first one in May. It was encouraging to see so many people come out to pray together. We prayed for the lost, for one another, and for the glory and reverence of God to be known in our city of Fredericton.
We thank God for you all, for your support, and for your prayers. There is a small flock here who is very grateful for all that the Lord is doing through your financial help, through the people who are coming to teach and exhort us, and through your prayerfulness. The effects of our combined prayers are tangible, and they are not going unheard or unanswered!

From Susan Hillis:
Last night Jesus gave me a present. For me it was a HUGE present! Our son who just graduated from high school, Vasya (shown here in his graduation gown with his cross country team buddies), along with one of his good friends (who we LOVE by the way!) went with us to Passion City Church. The message was about John 15, and focused on how MUCH Jesus loves us! Jesus says, "Just as (much as ) the Father has loved me, I have loved you (that much)!" Then Jesus says, "Remain in my love." Re - main....meaning....'re', that is, 'again,' make it the 'main' thing in your life, over and over and over again, to stay right there in Jesus' love for you! Then Louie Giglio went on to give some examples of how 're' - 'main' - ing in Jesus' love affects us in our simple daily lives. He shared, "We get stuck in traffic, for example, and instead of saying, 'oh I had a horrible day; I was stuck in traffic for an hour and then had to take a detour and then got stopped by a cop, and then finally made it to the gas station,' we may, instead, say, 'This was my day: I got stuck in traffic and hour and then had to take a detour and then got stopped by a cop and when I got to the gas station there was this woman there at the pump, so clearly struggling, and I got to go over and ask her if I could help her in some way. I ended up praying for her, and probably tonight she is sitting somewhere saying, 'even though I had a hard day I know Jesus loves me cause this fella I don't even know came over and prayed for me at the gas station. Or it may be you get to pay for someone you don't know or help them in some other way.' Then he went on to say it is exactly this kind of love, the love of God the Father for His son Jesus, that Jesus gives us to pass along to others in our day along the way.
The Present
So we are driving home and stop for supper at Steak-n-Shake, then go up to pay our bill. The cashier, flustered, says, "there is some problem; this is crazy; it has never happened before; your bill isn't in the system. Let me get the manager." As we wait, I say to Vasya and his friend, "I bet someone paid for us." The manager comes over and unlocks the system, only to discover that a visa card had already paid for our bill. Vasya at once knew who it was: "It was that old man with the white shirt and tie who came over and told us he and his wife had just been to a funeral!" All 3 of us knew he was right! So we began to talk about HOW AMAZING it was that just what we had heard, was exactly what had just happened to us. Someone we had never seen before and will likely never see again had passed along Jesus love to us! Then I proceed to explain to the cashier and manager, "Let me tell you what this is about! We were just at church and hearing about the chances we have to pass Jesus' love along to people we don't even know, by things like stopping to pray for them or to even pay for their supper, and this is just what happened to us!" The cashier, looking at me, said something like, "That had to be God cause people just don't pay for other peoples' dinner!"
Then we are driving home and there is a horrible 3 lane dead-still traffic jam on Highway 78 for at least 20 minutes, and we start giggling, "Oh, my goodness, we have BOTH the help from the stranger and the traffic jam!" I begin to wonder, "Lord, is there something we should be talking about?" And I sense the answer is, "Yes, talk about what I have done for you and for your family, and offer to let Vasya's friend read the book about it." We had a wonderful conversation and Vasya's friend said one of the nicest things to me that anyone has ever said, "When I met you I knew you loved God. I want to have what you have.....and just think, by your adopting Vasya (with the idea from John 15 of 'bearing fruit' by loving others), that love has extended so much more to affect so many people, like me for example."
The Quote
So, why am I writing about something so personal? Because I want you to know, dear friend and fellow-traveller--
nothing you do for the Lord is ever done in vain!
You may not hear a 'thank you' or even see the evidence of how the Lord is extending His love through you, but with time it will come, and your heart will melt with gratitude! Wait for it in peace and hope. It is oh, so worth the wait! It reminds me of one of my all-time favorite quotes by Amy Carmichael, missionary to India, who went expecting to evangelize the masses and instead, spent her life loving orphaned children. She writes about her service and those of the other caretakers this way,
"the women were learning that if the Lord of Glory took a towel and knelt on the floor to wash the dusty feet of His disciples, then no work, even the relentless and often messy routine of caring for squalling babies, is demeaning. To offer it up to the Lord of Glory transforms it into a holy task."(Elizabeth Elliott, quoting Amy Carmichael in 'A Chance to Die,' p. 182).
So let me close with one of my favorite pictures (below) that illustrates what it means to 're-main' in Jesus, for Jesus to be the main thing in your life -- not your parenting, or your children's pain, or your financial problems, or your infertility, or your relational struggles, or your own doubts about your worth, or your schedule, or your plans, or your past, or your failures, or your successes, or your service. It is a picture I took one week ago in Mexico while on vacation with Vasya and his friend Andrei Templeton (above), to celebrate his graduation from high school!
The Picture
Yes, Lord, we thank you that You, Jesus, are the source of love's living water, like the underground river, unseen here but oh so present to the tips of the roots here in this picture. And we want our lives to shout out the glory of Isaiah 37:31, "take root downward and bear fruit upward!" May that eternal fruit of Jesus love, just bursting out above the surface of our lives, cause our children and many others to say, "I want what she has." It was, in fact, this life with God that I saw in others that first drew me to our Lord. It is, still, His life in me that will draw others to Him. Hallelujah, what a Savior!

It's that time of year again when well-meaning people I know will say something like this to me: ' I expect you are now getting busy again.' I usually nod politely and bite my lip
So says Ferdinand von Prondzynski (president of Dublin City University) on his always-interesting blog, Diary of a University President. In his full post on 'Returning', he talks about the ups and downs of the start of a 'new' academic year. Of course, this date can vary (referring now to the start of classes/return of students rather than statutory terms): in Dublin, it was the start of October (as I marked with a New Year post in '07), for many US law schools it looks like it is this week according to the activity on various blogs I subscribe to (my favourite has been the discussion by Bennett Capers at Prawfsblawg on getting dressed for the first day of class – do read the comments, they are brilliant), in the year I spent in Canada it was just after Labour Day (firmly spelled with a U), and now at UEA, as in much of England, it's towards the end of September – Monday 21st, to be precise. I understand that TCD's new semester-based structure means that it will start on the same day too. There you go.
Anyway, in my first proper summer in full-time academic employment, I've been having the same experience. A colleague did tell me before that students assumed that, even during the academic year, their lecturers hung upside down (bat-like) in the Law School when not teaching or seeing students. Perhaps. I have certainly heard the 'enjoying your three months holidays?' line a little too often, though it is meant well (and there are some teaching occupations where, of course, that is the correct thing to say). As for me (as it's the end of August, and a good time for looking back), I've been having fun both at work – working on PhD so as to submit in September, responding to the unexpected but pleasing media interest in my wireless Internet work, helping out the good folks in ORG, supervising LLM dissertations, preparing next year's teaching (more on that soon), exam marking (!) and so on – and outside of it, getting a chance to see a little more of Norfolk that I could have during the teaching semesters (including a first taste of the Latitude festival). Sometimes I've even combined the two, by making use of the fabulous libraries at Cambridge and the Institute of Advanced Legal Studies in London during the day and doing something there in the evening (including a few Proms).
And, like DCU's blogging president, I'm looking forward to the change that comes to a campus when a new group of students arrive. Not just the students, but also because we are promised a bigger and better coffee shop according to an email that was circulated to staff today. And the campus literary festival has come up with a shiny list of visiting authors, which is something else to look forward to…

Richard Martinez , a grieving father of one of the victims of the recent Santa Barbara mass shooting, offered his explanation for who was to blame for his son's death:
Why did Chris die? Chris died because of craven, irresponsible politicians and the NRA. They talk about gun rights, what about Chris's right to live? When will this insanity stop? . . . When will enough people say, "Stop this madness." We do not have to live like this. Too many people have died. We should say to ourselves, "Not. One. More."
I feel bad for this guy. I really do. But his argument is invalid. It's based entirely on his emotional response to a terrible event. Let him tell the grieving mothers of Chicago that gun control measures work. They don't.
I'm sad that anyone had to die because of the self-obsessed piece of work that flew around in his BMW shooting at people with legally purchased guns. But what do the NRA or "craven" politicians have to do with that? How many more people would die if no one had guns legally?
If you really need to blame anyone other than the idiot who actually pulled the trigger, why not blame the people that actually influenced this young man's attitude of entitlement and self-obsession: his parents, for one. And the culture of Hollywood.
Few people are reporting on the fact that the shooter's father was the second unit director for The Hunger Games. A Hollywood insider. The family had apparently called police multiple times to ask them to check on the shooter. The family was worried about the shooter's mental health.
Do you understand how ridiculous that is? The family called the police to check up on their boy. That's not the job of the civil government, is it? I guess it is if you're from Hollywood. It's the civil government's job to take care of everything.
Ironically, the very attitude that compelled Richard Martinez to cry out for gun control is the attitude that created the shooter in the first place. An attitude that refuses to take personal responsibility. That refuses to work out anything voluntarily.
This is the attitude that idolizes children, promises them the moon and stars, buys them shiny black BMWs, sends them to schools beyond their educational capacity, fills them with a false and inflated self-image, teaches them instant gratification, and then moans for the civil government to intervene when one of these little brats starts shooting the others.
What did you expect? The shooter had a post-pubescent body and a K-5 mind: he was a whiny narcissistic sniveler upset that the world couldn't care less about his petulant selfie vlog. And he was going to get revenge that the world his parents promised wasn't the world he had actually gotten. He had graduated from nanny-nanny-boo-boos to semi-automatic pistols. But his heart was still as petulant as a toddlers. A perfect product of Hollywood.

EPJ E Highlight - Electrical disorder acts like a traffic light for a biological gate
- Details
- Published on 26 June 2018
New study of how positive and negative electrical charge disorder at the ends of polymers acts like a green or red light for proteins to pass through biological membranes
Nature's way of allowing proteins across its gates, through porous biological membranes, depends, among others, on their electrical charge. For a protein to cross this type of membrane, it needs to be stimulated by an electrical field. A new study focuses on a particular kind of proteins that have multiple functions - dubbed Intrinsically Disordered Proteins - because the electric charge disorder on their surface makes it possible for them to take multiple shapes. In the work, recently published in EPJ E, Albert Johner from the Charles Sadron Institute (part of the CNRS) in Strasbourg, France and Jean-Francois Joanny from Paris reveal how the mixed electrical charge at the ends of the proteins influences biological membrane crossing. This has potential implications for our understanding of how proteins travel across the body, and of disease mechanisms.
EPJ B Highlight - Futuristic data storage based on controlling the interactions between nanodots magnetic 'mood' twirls
- Details
- Published on 18 June 2018
Better understanding of the changing magnetic state of nanometric squares in an array could be the basis for future ultrahigh density data storage
The magnetisation of nanometric square material is not fixed. It moves around in a helical motion. This is caused by the electron whose degree of freedom, referred to as spin, which follows a precession motion centred on the middle of a square nano-magnet. To study the magnetisation of such material, physicists can rely on two-dimensional arrays of square nanomagnets. In a paper published in EPJ B, P. Kim from the Kirensky Institute of Physics, associated with the Russian Academy of Sciences, in Krasnoyarsk, Siberia, Russia, and colleagues have devised a new model taking into account the factors affecting the magnetic interaction between individual nanomagnets. Better controlling such nanomagnets arrays could have applications in ultrahigh density data storage,in an electronic application called spintronics exploiting electron spins and its magnetism, and in micro- and nanosurgery controlled by magnets.

New model examines the relative role of random interactions between individuals in a crowd compared to interactions stemming from their eagerness to be on their way
Ever found yourself crushed in a metro station at rush hour? The mathematician Carlo Bianca and physicist Caterina Mogno, both from the engineering research lab ECAM-EPMI in Cergy-Pontoise, France, have developed a new model to study the movement of crowds exiting a metro station. In a recent study published in EPJ Plus, they have for the first time employed models typically used to study gases consisting of a large number of molecules that collide at random (known as thermostatted kinetic theory) to study the consequences of the different interactions occurring among pedestrians in a crowd while exiting a metro station.
EPJ D Highlight - When photons spice up the energy levels of quantum particles
- Details
- Published on 12 June 2018
New study reveals theoretical calculation of new possible state for quantum particles which have received a photon
Quantum particles behave in mysterious ways. They are governed by laws of physics designed to reflect what is happening at smaller scales through quantum mechanics. Quantum state properties are generally very different to those of classical states. However, particles finding themselves in a coherent state are in a kind of quantum state which behaves like a classical state. Since their introduction by Erwin Schrödinger in 1926, coherent states of particles have found many applications in mathematical physics and quantum optics.
Now, for the first time, a team of mathematical physicists from Togo and Benin, call upon supersymmetry - a sub-discipline of quantum mechanics - to explain the behaviour of particles that have received a photon. These particles are subjected to particular potential energies known as shape-invariant potentials.
In a paper published in EPJ D, Komi Sodoga and colleagues affiliated with both the University of Lomé, Togo, and the University of Abomey-Calavi, in Cotonou, Benin, outline the details of their theory. These findings are relevant to scientists working on solving quantum optics and quantum mechanics applications.
EPJ A Highlight - The Soreq Applied Research Accelerator Facility (SARAF)
- Details
- Published on 12 June 2018
The Soreq Applied Research Accelerator Facility (SARAF) is under construction in the Soreq Nuclear Research Center at Yavne, Israel. Phase I of SARAF (SARAF-I) is already in operation, generating scientific results in several fields of interest, especially the astrophysical s-process. When completed at the beginning of the next decade, SARAF-II will be a user facility for basic and applied nuclear physics, based on a 40 MeV, 5 mA CW proton/deuteron superconducting linear accelerator. This review presents first a technical overview of SARAF-I and II, including a description of the accelerator and its irradiation targets, and provides a survey of existing research programs at SARAF-I. It then describes in some detail the research potential at the completed facility. SARAF-II's cutting-edge specifications, with its unique liquid lithium target technology, will enable world-competitive research plans in several disciplines: precision studies of beyond-Standard-Model effects by trapping light exotic radioisotopes (including meaningful studies already at SARAF-I); extended nuclear astrophysics research with higher-energy neutrons, including generation and studies of exotic neutron-rich isotopes relevant to the astrophysical r-process; nuclear structure of exotic isotopes; high-energy neutron cross sections for basic nuclear physics and material science research, including neutron-induced radiation damage; neutron-based imaging with an imaging plane flux similar to that of a 5 MW research reactor; accelerator-based neutron therapy; and, last but not least, novel radiopharmaceuticals development and production.
EPJ B Colloquium - Laser and hot-electrons induced ultrafast magnetic phenomena in multilayers and nanostructures
- Details
- Published on 04 June 2018
Understanding and controlling the magnetization dynamics in magnetic multilayers and nanostructures on the femtosecond timescale is becoming indispensable, both at the fundamental level and to develop future technological applications. While direct laser excitation of a ferromagnetic layer was commonly used during the past twenty years, laser-induced hot-electrons femtosecond pulses and subsequent transport in magnetic multilayers have attracted a lot of attention. Indeed, replacing photons by hot-electrons offers complementary information to improve our understanding of ultrafast magnetization dynamics and to provide new possibilities for manipulating the magnetization in a thin layer on the femtosecond timescale.
EPJ B Highlight - Unzipping graphene nanotubes into nanoribbons
- Details
- Published on 30 May 2018
New study shows elegant mathematical solution to understand how the flow of electrons changes when carbon nanotubes turn into zigzag nanoribbons
In a new study published in EPJ B, Basant Lal Sharma from the Indian Institute of Technology Kanpur provides a detailed analysis of how the flow of heat and electrons is affected at the interface between an 'armchair' shaped carbon nanotube and a zigzagging nanoribbon made up of a single-layer carbon honeycomb sheet of graphene. Applications of this method can help us understand the propagation of electrons and thermal flow in graphene and similar materials for electromagnetic devices. For example, a partially unzipped carbon nanotube could act as a device with varying electrical resistance depending on the strength of an external magnetic field applied to it. By contrast, these junctions can also act as perfect 'valley filters', allowing certain types of electrons through the junction with the maximum possible conductance, while other electrons can't pass through.
EPJ E Colloquium - How to simulate patchy particles
- Details
- Published on 30 May 2018
Patchy particles is the name given to a large class of systems of mesoscopic particles characterized by a repulsive core and a discrete number of short-range and highly directional interaction sites. Numerical simulations have contributed significantly to our understanding of the behaviour of patchy particles, but, although simple in principle, advanced simulation techniques are often required to sample the low temperatures and long time-scales associated with their self-assembly behaviour.
In this EPJ E colloquium paper, Rovigatti et al. review the most popular simulation techniques that have been used to study patchy particles, with a special focus on Monte Carlo methods.
EPJ E Highlight - Physical properties of solids elucidated by zooming in and out of high resolution
- Details
- Published on 23 May 2018
A new study shows how to couple highly accurate and simplified models of the same system to extract thermodynamics information using simulations
Computer simulations are used to understand the properties of soft matter - such as liquids, polymers and biomolecules like DNA - which are too complicated to be described by equations. They are often too expensive to simulate in full, given the intensive computational power required. Instead, a helpful strategy is to couple an accurate model - applied in the areas of the system that require greater attention - with a simpler, idealised model. In a recent paper published in EPJ E, Maziar Heidari, from the Max Planck Institute for Polymer Research, Mainz, Germany and colleagues make the accurate model in high-resolution coincide seamlessly with an exactly solvable representation at lower resolution.
EPJ B Highlight - Physicists with green fingers estimate tree spanning rate in random networks
- Details
- Published on 22 May 2018
A team in China has just calculated the size of scale-free and small-world networks
Networks are often described as trees with spanning branches. How the tree branches out depends on the logic behind the network's expansion, such as random expansion. However, some aspects of such randomly expanding networks are invariant; in other words, they display the same characteristics, regardless of the network's scale. As a result, the entire network has the same shape as one or more of its parts. In a new study published in EPJ B, Fei Ma from Northwest Normal University in Lanzhou, Gansu Province, China, anc colleagues calculate the total number of spanning trees in randomly expanding networks. This method can be applied to modelling scale-free network models, which, as it turns out, are characterised by small-world properties. This means, for instance, that members of the network only exhibit six degrees of separation, like most people in our society.

Related post: Essential Oils For Relaxed Hair
Benefits of basil oilConsidered as an energizing, restorative and stimulating oil, the benefits that basil oil brings to relaxed, colored and natural hair are mostly around hair growth through stimulation of the scalp. When used topically basil oil has been found to help stimulate the hair follicles which can help with increasing hair growth and lessening hair loss. Basil oil can also help improve blood circulation which is another factor for hair growth.
Some additional benefits of using basil oil include
- Treating dandruff and dry scalp
- Relieving headaches which can be helpful after spending an hour or so of detangling
Ways to use basil oilAfter reading multiple articles and opinions of basil oil, it seems the best way to use it on your hair is in an oil mix that you massage on your scalp. Let the mix sit on your scalp for a few minutes before rinsing it out and moving on to shampooing.
Things to keep in mind
- Test the basil oil on a small patch of skin before applying it to your scalp
- Basil oil is considered to be a warm oil with a strong aroma so it could be irritating for those with sensitive skin. One way to help with this is to dilute the basil oil with another oil like coconut oil or avocado oil
- When buying look for basil oil that is 100% pure, natural and organic
Have you ever tried basil oil on your hair?

Amalgam Removal Concerns
Dentist in Chicago Loop
Clearly we want safe amalgam removal. We also want you to know the truth about some of the talk out there.
- Cut in chunks and keep it cool
- Suction
- Our gloves
- Use of a rubber dam
- Rinse a lot
- Cover the skin
- Vitamin C
- The Air
Most dentists will do this naturally. It is faster to remove a filling if it comes out in chunks, but traditionally minded dentists do not know how beneficial this is to you, the patient. When you remove it in chunks, you will aerosolize less of the contents. All dentists will use a water spray as well, which traditionally speaking is meant to cool the tooth so as not to cause it harm. An added benefit is that there will be less mercury vapor.
All dentists use HVE. It is the suction next to every dental chair that an assistant uses to keep you from drowning. Now we know it is also your best tool for keeping the mercury from mixing into your system. Our assistants are instructed to use it as close as possible to the source to be sure to collect as much as possible. But check to see where in your office it discharges! If the vacuum pump discharges into an open trap or through its own base, you could be pumping mercury vapor into your utility room or lab.
Nitrile material is an effective diffusion barrier than more commonly used vinyl or latex gloves. Again, this is a benefit for the staff, and we have them available.
The beneficial use of a rubber dam is debated. The debate is in the effectiveness of what the rubber dam is made of. All rubber dams are made of either vinyl or latex, both of which are not as effective as nitrile in preventing mercury vapors from passing through. Despite this truth, it feels like we are doing more if we use one, so we have them. If you want one, let us know. If you've never had a rubber dam on, you'll learn that some patients hate them, and others love them. Same thing from our vantage point: sometimes they help us do a better job, other times they are purely a hindrance.
As soon as the amalgams are out, remove the dam and rinse thoroughly. This may take time. Sometimes as much as 60 seconds of rinsing to fully remove the mercury vapor. Search for gray particles. If there are particles on the back of the tongue, sit up and gargle them out. Consider rinsing with an antioxidant.
If you are more comfortable with your facial skin covered, it is as simple as placing a moist paper towel or cloth over your face to act as a barrier to any spattered amalgam particles.
This falls under the category of "ask your health care practitioner." We know that high doses of vitamin C can cause an upset stomach and we are not sure if that is right for you. It is up to you if you want to add this protocol to your regimen. If so, the following protocol is most reasonable, and preferably it is taken on an empty stomach.
If the patient is not used to taking Vitamin C, too much at once can cause an upset stomach. It is recommended to be given as follows:
- Day 1: One 500mg tablet (total 500mg)
- Day 2: Two 500mg tablets ( total 1,000mg)
- Day 3-10: Three 500mg tablets (total 1,500mg)
Dr. Gilleran does do a round of metal chelating annually to remove the residual heavy metals in her system as she is exposed daily. If you want the added security of taking a chelating agent too, let us know. What we are learning is that we are the most at risk for continued amalgam removal. We breathe the air everyday. A patient is exposed briefly.
There are two ways to look at the air in this respect. The air you are breathing while we remove your amalgams, and then the air in the office. Supplemental air is something that is forcibly piped into your nose while an amalgam is being removed. We think the exposure is primarily coming from the slurry on your gums and soft tissue, so this added precaution is not currently part of our protocol, but that may change. As far as the air in our office, we do think it is a great idea to keep it clean so we are currently looking into the proper system for filtering mercury vapors from our office air. Although this is clearly a benefit for the patients, this is mostly beneficial to the staff who work in this environment daily.

Need a Tattoo Idea? Tattoo Designs and Ideas
You may have a great tattoo ideas but cannot find a design or picture that you really like enough to go and get it done. Some people search for a tattoo design for several months before they finally get one. The basic idea when getting a tattoo is that you should really do your research and find something you really like. Whatever you do, don't just go into a tattoo parlor and pick out one of their tattoo designs and get it done. You should take your time and think about the design. Here are some possible solutions.
Need your Tattoo Ideas or Design? Well you have come to the right place. With the growing popularity of tattoos, you cannot help but think about getting one. One thing you should make sure is that you choose the best tattoo that you like forever, since this will be permanent. Unless of course you are willing to pay a ton of money to get it removed.
Research your tattoo idea. Many times you may have an idea of the exact tattoo you want, then you browse through some tattoo designs and you find a similar one that you like better. This could be one perfect reason why one should not just pick and get a tattoo idea from any tattoo parlor magazines or book. There are many people with picture in their minds for what their tattoo be, some individual considers using a Japanese and or a Chinese lettering. You can also spell out certain name that is special to you. So, you see, a tattoo doesn't always have to be a picture of something. It should really be whatever you want, after all, that will still be your body. Do not get a tattoo just because you just saw a cool tattoo picture.
When research is done for your tattoo ideas, it is a good idea to browse the Internet for other possible tattoo designs. You never know, you may come across the whole new idea that you like better than your old one. This is the reason why researchers invented a handy item since you keep changing what you want—getting a tattoo then find it as an amazing design and then months later you find yourself regretting the first. Many search engines will help you out greatly. Just make a try to search it on Google to get your "tattoo idea". You can get some great tattoo ideas there. get some new ideas from http://www.nonpareilonline.com/news/local/after-the-ink-dries-take-proper-care-of-that-tattoo/article_361f4436-6b1d-11e7-bd09-07f3abde82e0.html
If you already picked out your tattoo design then the next step is to look for a tattoo designer. This can be difficult. You do not want to get your tattoo at the first parlor you walk into. Again, research is the key. Ask people you know where they look for and got their own tattoo, as well who the artist is. There are lots of times which you can seek for certain tattoo artist who will draw what will be your tattoo option or idea so that you can really visualize how it will look once it is already your skin. If you will follow these few tips, then I guess you can appreciate your tattoo as time goes by.

Mexico is a destination with a wealth of historical attractions, and the country is hoping a new campaign will increase the profile of its national treasures.
The new campaign is being created by Mundo Maya – a promotional body linking the states of Chiapas, Quintana Roo, Tabasco, Yucatan and Campeche. Six of Mexico's 27 Unesco World Heritage sites are found in these regions of the country.
Many of Mexico's best-known historical treasures are Mayan ruins and archaeological sites such as the world-famous Machu Picchu site. A recent CNN story about tourism in Mexico featured many Mayan archaeological sites, including Chichen Itza and Palenque, in the Yucatan and Chiapas regions respectively. The World Treasures programme approached the executive director of the Global Heritage Fund, Jeff Morgan, to put together a list of top Mayan destination to explore in Mexico.
As well as Chichen Itza and Palenque, Mr Morgan picked out Tulum in Quintana Roo, which he described as "picturesque". The coastal town was said to provide a large number of photo opportunities for visitors, and is positioned near the archaeological ruins of Tulum. The town is gradually expanding to accommodate the increasing numbers of visitors, with around 40 small hotels to choose from and a handful of restaurants and beach bars.

Happy Kinder Parties
Recent review: At first i was sceptical about booking an entertainer for my daugthers first birthday party. I thought i might be able to figure something out for them,But now looking back im so glad we went along with it, i couldnt be happier. Laura was the best part about the whole birthday party. She made sure she got in before anyone arrived and set up her station. She was extremely professional and i could see she loved doing what she was doing. All the kids interacted as soon as they saw her, despite having a delay with the kids food Laura just kept going with the glitter tattoos until i was ready to serve food. Even then i dont think she had a proper rest. All parents were happy as their kids completely forgot about them which allowed them to socialise and get some food in their tummy. I can not wait for another event where i will be needing Laura, i will specifically be asking for her as she has saved the whole event! Thanks once again Laura xx

What if you could remember, in detail, nearly every day of your life?
My brother Brad can.
Mention the date May 15, 1972, and Brad will tell you it was the day Governor George Wallace was shot by an attempted assassin. It was also the second night of the high-school production of "You're A Good Man, Charlie Brown", in which Brad played Linus. Oh, Brad also played tennis in gym class that day.
And, if you're curious, he'll let you know it was a Monday.
Ask Brad when the sitcom "I Dream Of Jeannie" premiered and he'll immediately inform you September 18, 1965 -- faster than you could consult the IMDB. (By the way, that was a Saturday.)
Brad's remarkable mind has always been a given in our family. Brad taught himself to read at the age of two. He represented Wisconsin in the National Spelling Bee at the age of twelve (and the height of four-foot-five). And over time, we realized that he could remember when things happened with remarkable clarity, to the point where double-checking against Brad became pointless. He simply was always right.
We never thought to explore further.
On March 27, 2006 (that was a Monday), a link on The Huffington Post led me to an ABC News article headlined: "Woman With Perfect Memory Baffles Scientists- Patient Remembers Every Day and Almost Every Detail of Her Life"
The story told of a woman code-named "AJ" whom neurology researchers at the University of California-Irvine had been studying for six years. She exhibited precisely the same sort of memory as Brad for dates and events, both monumental and trivial, global and personal. Although savants and calendar-calculators had been documented, nowhere in the scientific literature was there an example of someone with such a wealth and specificity of autobiographical memory. The researchers had even coined a name for this previously undiagnosed phenomenon: hyperthymesia.
To their knowledge, AJ's abilities were unique.
I immediately contacted Dr. James McGaugh at Irvine to tell him there was at least one more.
On June 5, 2006 (that was a Monday), Brad and I journeyed to Irvine, where Dr. McGaugh and his colleague, Dr. Larry Cahill, quizzed Brad. They mentioned historical events -- everything from the eruption of Mount St. Helens to the death of John Wayne -- and Brad told them when they occurred. The doctors would cite historical dates and, aside from a couple obscure plane crashes, Brad identified what made each date famous. Thanks to information that I had surreptitiously provided to the doctors along with our other brother Greg, they were able to ask Brad about events from his personal life. Nothing stumped him.
At the end of a 40-minute grilling, Dr. McGaugh, who had been stifling a smile throughout, told us that Brad did indeed show all the qualities they had studied in AJ. As I'm fond of saying, at that moment Brad became the Buzz Aldrin of hyperthymesia.
As a screenwriter who had toyed with the notion of making a documentary, I knew immediately that the ideal subject matter was sitting right in front of me. We'd all like to think that we're one-in-a-billion, but how often are you told that someone you've known your entire life actually IS one-in-a-billion?
I've chronicled Brad's travels on the hyperthymesia highway in my work-in-progress documentary titled Unforgettable. So far, these adventures have led from family reunions and Scrabble tournaments to a tavern in Seattle where Brad went head-to-head with "Jeopardy!" uber-champion Ken Jennings in Buzztime satellite trivia. I've documented the invasion of our mother's living room by an NBC News crew and the examination of the inside of Brad's skull by the UC-Irvine's MRI machine. Brad has been profiled by his local newspaper, the LaCrosse Tribune, received mention in Newsweek and is the subject of a lengthy article in yesterday's New Jersey Star-Ledger.
It's extremely likely that other folks with "hyper-memory" are out there, still undiscovered. The doctors at Irvine have promising leads on at least a couple more. One reason we'd never thought Brad's ability could be all THAT unusual is that we had seen actress Marilu Henner on talk shows demonstrating her own similarly uncanny recall for dates and events. More recently, Anthony Hopkins was quoted as saying he can "work out what dates fell on what days through the ages," but admitting, "I don't use the talent because I don't need it."
And that has been Brad's frustration. Sure, it's a curiosity, a parlor-trick to be demonstrated to tour groups passing through the radio station where he works, a reason not to be invited a second time to Trivial Pursuit parties back in the '80s. But is there any practical use for an astoundingly rich memory like his in an age when Google and Wikipedia are as handy as the nearest iPhone?
Thanks to "Rain Man", everyone's first suggestion upon learning of Brad's skill is that he should learn to count cards in blackjack. He did make the ultimate geek-Hajj, becoming a contestant on "Jeopardy!", but a category about snakes and a returning champion who was just untouchable enough by the time of Final Jeopardy meant that Brad walked away with merely a trip to Boston and a consolation package of Paul Mitchell hair-care products and Klondike bars. The upcoming Dennis-Miller-hosted quiz show, "Amne$ia", in which contestants are questioned about the events of their own lives, would seem tailor-made for Brad, unless he's considered such a ringer that the producers issue a restraining order banning him from even applying to become a contestant.
To be sure, Brad doesn't remember everything. Like most of us, his memories are sketchy before the age of four or five - as if we have a "baby brain" that falls out like baby teeth. He can't remember something he never learned in the first place, and he's unlikely to remember facts on topics that don't interest him. During the "Stump Brad" segment on his radio station, questions about sports aren't allowed, although Brad could probably tell you when and where every Super Bowl was played, and which teams competed, and who won. He'll do better on questions about who received an Oscar in 1968 or who was crowned Miss America in 1974 than who won a Grammy last year.
Brad can't really describe how his brain does what it does, any more than you or I could describe how we know what color something is or how something tastes. While AJ was perturbed enough by her condition to seek help from the Irvine researchers, Brad doesn't seem bothered by this constant recollection. It's simply how his memory has always functioned and it surprises him that the rest of our minds don't work the same way.
As a layman suddenly immersed in this subject matter, my hunch is that most of us have just as much information stored in our heads as Brad. When Brad dredges up some obscure event from our mutual history, he can usually provide enough details that the story eventually "rings a bell", so somewhere in my grey matter, I've got those same nuggets squirrelled away. It's just that mortals like you and me can't typically retrieve them with ease. The exception seems to be when those minute details are linked with a dramatic, emotional event like a birth or a wedding or a death. We can all remember precise details about where we were and what we were doing on September 11, 2001. Well, for Brad, it's more like every day is 9/11.
The broader importance of studying brains like Brad's will be if, in trying to discover what makes him so special, scientists find ways to combat the ravages of Alzheimer's disease and other memory-robbing afflictions. The last frontier of human knowledge may not be in the vast reaches of outer space. The greatest uncharted territory could be that mysterious realm which each of us carries inside our own head.
Perhaps Brad's memory can help provide answers to some of science's most perplexing questions. If so, this voyage of discovery we're on would truly be...
Um...what was the name of my documentary again
