Why Time Slows Down When We’re Afraid, Speeds Up as We Age, and Gets Warped on Vacation
by Maria Popova “Time perception matters because it is the experience of time that roots us in our mental reality.” Given my soft spot for famous diaries, it should come as no surprise that I keep one myself. That’s precisely what acclaimed BBC broadcaster and psychology writer Claudia Hammond explores in Time Warped: Unlocking the Mysteries of Time Perception (public library) — a fascinating foray into the idea that our experience of time is actively created by our own minds and how these sensations of what neuroscientists and psychologists call “mind time” are created. We construct the experience of time in our minds, so it follows that we are able to change the elements we find troubling — whether it’s trying to stop the years racing past, or speeding up time when we’re stuck in a queue, trying to live more in the present, or working out how long ago we last saw our old friends. And yet the brain does keep track of time, even if inaccurately. Donating = Loving Share on Tumblr
Breathtaking Pictures of Churches Around the World That You Must See
Jesus Christ was born in a manger or a shed where animals were kept. When he grew up, he led a very humble life. He did not wear any jewelry nor did he frequent the pompous palaces of kings and princes. He preached everywhere in every town and village around Galilee, Cana, Jericho and Capernaum. He did not choose the places to go nor the people to be with. Right now, there are thousands of churches around the world whose architectural design ranges from simple minimalist structures to superbly intricate designs that you’ll never think ancient architects can do. Let’s go now and check these truly breathtaking churches and be fascinated with their look. Advertisement 1. Photo used under Creative Commons from Etrusia UK 2.

March 29, 2013 | By Jeffrey R. Kosnett Pop quiz: Among all interest-paying investments, which one delivers the highest income relative to the amount of principal it will lose when interest rates rise? (As you probably know, rising rates cut the values of existing bonds because newer, higher-paying bonds are more attractive). If you're fluent in bond-speak, you can refashion my question to: Where do I get the most yield per unit of duration? See Also: 12 Stocks to Get Dividends Every Month Hint: The answer is not high-yield corporate bonds. All right, give up? The typical nonleveraged, open-end bank-loan fund currently distributes between 3% and 4%. If you're unfamiliar with how these funds operate, imagine an ultra-short variable-rate junk fund a category that doesn't exist. Bank lending is not riskless. But the recovery came quickly, and those losses have long been erased. There are other good choices in addition to the Fidelity fund, which yields 2.7% (figures are as of March 27).
