Hours of playing video games can change brain for the better, research finds Video games can change a person's brain and, as researchers are finding, often that change is for the better. A growing body of university research suggests that gaming improves creativity, decision-making and perception. The specific benefits are wide ranging, from improved hand-eye coordination in surgeons to vision changes that boost night driving ability. People who played action-based video and computer games made decisions 25 percent faster than others without sacrificing accuracy, according to a study. Indeed, the most adept gamers can make choices and act on them up to six times a second -- four times faster than most people, other researchers found. Moreover, practiced game players can pay attention to more than six things at once without getting confused, compared with the four that someone can normally keep in mind, said University of Rochester researchers. Electronic gameplay has its downside. "Video games change your brain," said University of Wisconsin psychologist C.

Brut: The Essence of What Exactly? « Charles Montgomery A few weeks ago I read an article on The Art of Manliness called 6 Forgotten Drugstore Colognes and Aftershaves, by the site’s editor, Brett McKay. In it, McKay selected several colognes that have been mainstays of most drugstores for decades, including Old Spice, Brut, English Leather a few others; items we dismiss as being grandpa’s cologne. The general conclusion was that these products, though cheap and having a reputation for being dated, still represent surprisingly good quality. Even the comments below the article, which are often the domain of the knee-jerk enthusiast, were generally positive. On the back of these findings, I decided to pick up one of the featured products on my next trip down to the pharmacy. I was familiar with the Brut brand, but I’d not had any first-hand experience with it: no grandfather who wore it to Christmas dinner, or older brother who would apply liberally before a hot date. Then began the decline. So off I Googled to find the Brut website.

Dealing with USPS How to Access the BBC iPlayer (and TV Like Doctor Who) from Outside the U.K. @theoldwolf: The reason for geographical barriers on TV is international licensing deals. These more often than not DO NOT include online licenses, but precisely because of that, it is also stipulated that the content will not be made available online on the territory for which the license is sold. So, for instance, French TV will buy Lost's last season and the contract will say that nobody, ABC included, can distribute Lost in France online. The catch is that the French channel is probably trying to save money. Yes, it sucks, but no, it will likely not get fixed any time soon. Ironically, TV is quickly learning to work around this.
