Research is showing that MDMA combined with psychotherapy can be an effective option for people who haven’t been helped by other treatments for posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD).
PTSD can be caused by trauma from war, sexual assault, violence, accidents, natural disasters, and other stressful events. You can help make MDMA a legal medicine and heal people suffering from trauma by helping fund the production of the MDMA needed for U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) Phase 3 clinical trials. Here’s where you come in: To complete these trials, MAPS needs your help to raise the last $174,000 of the $400,000 needed for one kilogram of pharmaceutical-grade MDMA, made under current Good Manufacturing Practices (cGMP) in a certified laboratory. Every gift helps make a difference in the lives of people suffering from PTSD.
What if i told you a difference of opinion does not mean. The time passes and nothing happens. Many in China Can Now Have a Second Child, but Say No. The imbalance is a result of Chinese using various sex selection methods to have a son under the so-called one-child policy.
Since its inception in 1979, the one-child policy has been credited with helping foster China’s surging economy by slowing population growth. But the family planning restrictions have produced an array of unintended consequences. In 2012, there were about 40 million more men than women, including 18 million more boys than girls under the age of 15. By 2020, the government estimates that 30 million eligible bachelors will be unable to find a wife. Beyond a surplus of single men, some economists have warned of an impending elder-care crisis, noting that China’s working-age population peaked in 2012, leaving fewer gainfully employed people on hand to take care of their parents and older relatives.
All aboard the feel train. Looking at your phone makes you temporarily deaf. Study found humans experience 'inattentional deafness' to normal-volume sounds as they complete increasingly difficult visual tasks Brain scans showed the volunteers weren't ignoring or filtering out the sounds - they couldn't even hear themFindings suggest the brain's visual and auditory processing centers share limited resources By Dailymail.com Reporter Published: 14:37 GMT, 28 February 2016 | Updated: 15:18 GMT, 28 February 2016.
Earth has entered new epoch as result of human impact: study. CANBERRA, Jan. 8 (Xinhua) -- Overwhelming evidence found by an international team of scientists have shown that humans have altered the Earth to the point that the Earth has entered a new geological time period, a press release by the Australian National University (ANU) said on Friday.
Professor Will Steffen, the only member from Australia in the 24-strong Anthropocene Working Group, said the Earth has moved from the Holocene epoch of the past 11,700 years and into a new Anthropocene epoch. In a paper published in the latest edition of Science, the researchers have found human activity has left a marked and persistent record of impact on the Earth. The scientists suggest that the geological record will now include layers of uniquely human products such as concrete, plastics and the fallout from nuclear weapons, and that human activity has left a pervasive and persistent signature on Earth that warrants recognition as a new geological time unit.

Cried the Ghost, wringing his hands again. “Mankind was my business. The common welfare was my business; charity, mercy, forbearance, and benevolence were all my business.

It’s often said, a bit hyperbolically perhaps, that the human brain is the most complex structure in the known universe.
For thousands of years, we’ve wanted to peep inside and see what it’s doing—through trepanation, through CT scans, or through a technique that’s been in favour over the last two decades or so: functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) which measures blood flow (and, indirectly, activity) inside the brain. fMRI is an amazing tool that’s spawned a whole new field of research, not to mention an endless series of studies on how the brain works. It’s allowed researchers to draw conclusions about drug addiction, about human empathy for robots, even about how we tend to respond to poetry and prose, just a few examples on a very long list. But there’s a problem. Fuck-yeah-fitness: muffintop-less: Now by no... - Healthy Minds;Fit Bodies.

Laying blame: Humans caused mass megafauna extinctions in ancient past. When species after species of animal continue to go extinct today, it’s pretty clear who to blame. Humans are ushering in a sixth mass extinction event, largely through human-caused climate change but also through deforestation, overfishing, and other distinctly Homo sapiens activities. But how far back does our ability to obliterate stretch?
A debate has continued for decades now on exactly what was the primary cause of big die-offs of large mammals from the end of the last ice age: was it a changing climate (a naturally changing one, that is, unlike today), or the spread of early humans? A study by researchers at Aarhus University in Denmark claims to have cleared up the cloudy question, with computer modeling laying the blame squarely on humans and only very slightly on climate. The most important chart about the American economy you'll see this year. Pavlina Tcherneva's chart showing the distribution of income gains during periods of economic expansion is burning up the economics internet over the past 24 hours and for good reason.

Fight for Oil: 100 Years in the Middle East (1/3) 40% of U.S. food wasted, report says. Forty percent of food in the United States is never eaten, amounting to $165 billion a year in waste, taking a toll on the country's water resources and significantly increasing greenhouse gas emissions, according to a report from the Natural Resources Defense Council released this week. The group says more than 20 pounds of food is wasted each month for each of 311 million Americans, amounting to $1,350 to $2,275 annually in waste for a family of four.
Think of it as dumping 80 quarter-pound hamburger patties in the garbage each month, or chucking two dozen boxes of breakfast cereal into the trash bin rather than putting them in your pantry. The report points out waste in all areas of the U.S. food supply chain, from field to plate, from farms to warehouses, from buffets to school cafeterias. "Food is simply too good to waste," the report says. EMERGENCY!
