Brain Activity Predicts Re-arrest. Researchers demonstrate that brain activity in response to a decision-making challenge predicts the likelihood that released prisoners will be re-arrested.
WIKIMEDIA, GEOFF B HALLPrisoners with relatively low activity in a particular brain region while performing a computer-based decision-making task are more likely to be arrested again on release than those with higher activity in that brain region during the task, according to a study published this week (March 25) in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. A team of neuroscientists led by Eyal Aharoni at the University of New Mexico in Albuquerque used functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) to scan the brains of 96 soon-to-be-released male prisoners. The scans focussed on the anterior cingulate cortex (ACC), an area of the brain associated with decision-making and motor control, as the prisoners completed challenges on a computer that required them to inhibit impulsive reactions as they made quick-fire decisions.
White Women: We Need To Talk About Race. “White women like me” is a phrase you hear often when you talk with Kristin Rowe-Finkbeiner.
Rowe-Finkbeiner is the cofounder, executive director and CEO of MomsRising.org – a grassroots organizing nonprofit that takes on “the most critical issues facing women, mothers, and families by educating the public and mobilizing massive grassroots actions.” Both her activism at MomsRising.org and her latest book, Keep Marching: How Every Woman Can Change Our World, focus on the idea that we can meaningfully fight sexism only when we also fight racism and economic inequality. In this book, she calls on white women to engage in difficult conversations with one another and to become change agents to dismantle racism in America. Holier Than Your Violent Ass. One reaction that sometimes catches me off-guard when the subject of pacifism comes up is anger.
Some people seem angry that I would dare to refuse to hurt them. Without sarcasm or exaggeration I'll do my best to explain where I think this is coming from. The conversation usually goes like this: I say I am a pacifist. They respond with the usual hypothetical scenario about being a bystander to violence. I point out that there are a variety of nonviolent potential solutions to such a scenario. It's that last bit which is interesting. America's clutter problem.

10 habits you should pick up from your grandmother. Some of us romanticize the past, some of us brush it off altogether — but either way, there’s some good wisdom to be gleaned from generations that weren’t bombarded with consumerism, surrounded by chemicals and discombobulated by the crazy pace of the digital world.
Yes, we’re talking about the “grandma era.” Known for its wealth of practical solutions, clean living and common sense, the women who forged the road before us were smart cookies. Here are some are some of our favorite grandmotherly habits that are too valuable to be lost. 1. Go for a walk Urban inhabitants and habitual walkers may know this, but for the rest of us it’s good to remember: Walking is fantastic for both body and soul!

Are they or aren’t they? I am far from an expert on the subject but, from what I do know, I have a “bad feeling” about aspects of the Geneva Association perspective and UK stance (as opposed to USA) on what constitutes “systemically important”. Rather than repeat myself, I have outlined my thoughts in this article which contains links to other, related, items. If you are interested in getting deeper into the subject, particularly if you like getting into the maths, you are going to have fun with this paper from Nov. 2011: Econometric Measures of Connectedness and Systemic Risk in the Finance and Insurance Sectors.
What Is Gender Identity? - Arc Digital. No One Is Born in ‘The Wrong Body’ The idea that all people have an innate “gender identity” recently has been endorsed by many health-care professionals and mainstream medical organizations.
This term commonly is defined to mean the “internal, deeply held” sense of whether one is a man or a woman (or, in the case of children, a boy or a girl), both, or neither. It also has become common to claim that this sense of identity may be reliably articulated by children as young as three years old. While these claims about gender identity did not attract systematic scrutiny at first, they now have become the subject of criticism from a growing number of scientists, philosophers and health workers. Developmental studies show that young children have only a superficial understanding of sex and gender (at best).
