Christmas gift-bringers of Europe Santa Claus is relentlessly trying to enter our European households (mostly through our mailboxes rather than chimneys), but Father Christmas, Baby Jesus, Grandfather Frost, and other traditional gift-bringers have managed to fend him off so far (well, sort of). Each country (or region) has its own traditional Christmas gift-bringer. Some of them are quite nice, such as the British Father Christmas, others are outright weird, such as the Catalan “defecating log”, but all of them are equally interesting. The following map shows the gift-bringers’ names with translations, coloured by relatedness of the concepts themselves (that is, not by etymological relatedness of the names). Please note that some of the stripes and gradients may not represent the actual geographical distribution completely accurately; they just show general geographical trends. In Dutch: Kerstman, Christmas Man In French: Père Noël, Father Christmas

Tips and resources for teaching English – English with effervescence It’s always a rewarding activity to find up-to-date materials that could increase students’ and pupils’ motivation in learning and applying new things in English classes. I integrate technology into lessons with the aim of teaching young learners of English that the internet could be used for a variety of beneficial and valuable activities apart from chatting or scrolling through Facebook to see what everybody else is up to, browsing others’ profiles or news shared (in their native language) on social networking sites. In Hungary (where I live and work) only few primary schools are supplied with smartboards and few are capable of giving tablet computers into children’s hands to educate them how to create content or how to use the internet for learning. I’ve compiled a list of those sites that might come useful for teaching ESL and computer literacy, also for motivating learners to speak more in English. Who hasn’t heard of ISL Collectives?
Connecting neurons to fix the brain Each of the brain’s 100 billion neurons forms thousands of connections with other neurons. These connections, known as synapses, allow cells to rapidly share information, coordinate their activities, and achieve learning and memory. Breakdowns in those connections have been linked to neurological disorders including autism and Alzheimer’s disease, as well as decline of memory during normal aging. Many scientists believe that strengthening synaptic connections could offer a way to treat those diseases, as well as age-related decline in brain function. Using their new technology, the researchers have already identified several compounds that can strengthen synapses. Lead author of the study is MIT postdoc Peng Shi. At a synapse, a neuron sends signals to one or more cells by releasing chemicals called neurotransmitters, which influence the activity of the recipient cell. In this study, the researchers created and tested variants of a type of molecule known as an HDAC inhibitor.

The optimal road trip across the U.S. according to machine learning How to Help a Child With Weak Working Memory | Executive Function Does your child have a weakness with verbal (auditory) or visual-spatial working memory? If so, you may find that it is greatly interfering with academic achievement. Fortunately, there are many ways to help—from teaching ways to compensate to lifestyle changes to brain-training techniques. Here are a few places to start to help a child with poor working memory. Know your child's strengths and weaknesses As a parent, you want to support your children any way you can. She says that sometimes teachers tell their students with dyslexia to just keep repeating the information over and over to themselves. H. Help compensate for weaknesses One way to compensate for poor working memory is to break up or chunk information.

The Ten Most Revealing Psych Experiments Psychology is the study of the human mind and mental processes in relation to human behaviors - human nature. Due to its subject matter, psychology is not considered a 'hard' science, even though psychologists do experiment and publish their findings in respected journals. Some of the experiments psychologists have conducted over the years reveal things about the way we humans think and behave that we might not want to embrace, but which can at least help keep us humble. 1. The Robbers Cave Experiment is a classic social psychology experiment conducted with two groups of 11-year old boys at a state park in Oklahoma, and demonstrates just how easily an exclusive group identity is adopted and how quickly the group can degenerate into prejudice and antagonism toward outsiders. Researcher Muzafer Sherif actually conducted a series of 3 experiments. 2. This infamous experiment to plumb the depths of evil in human hearts ended up affecting its lead researcher as much as its subjects. 3. 4.
