Extensions Chrome Les internautes qui partagent souvent des liens le savent, les adresses de certaines pages peuvent parfois être longues, très longues. Si ces liens peuvent être pratiques dans le cadre d’un partage sur une messagerie instantanée, dans un mail ou sur un réseau social, ils le sont bien moins dans une signature de mail ou pire, sur un document. Dès lors, il peut être pratique, et esthétique, de passer par un raccourcisseur d’URL. Si Twitter possède t.co, Google a de son côté goo.gl. Verdict : simple d’utilisation et bien intégrée, l’extension s’avère très pratique.

Mind in Life: Amazon.co.uk: Evan Thompson Evan Thompson draws from the disciplines of biology, philosophy, psychology, and neuroscience to bring about a wide and varied discussion of one of the most significant philosophical questions or our time called the explanatory gap--the gap between our subjective experience and the laws of nature. "Exactly how are consciousness and subjective experience related to the brain and the body?" How is it that our subjective experience of the world sets us apart from our environment, when our environment and life are intricately coupled? Thompson contends that there can be no dualistic separation between the organizational properties of life and mind. Since it is necessary to understand life in order to comprehend mind, it isn't surprising that the philosophical methodologies used to explaining life are similar to those used to explain mind. Thompson details the shortcomings of genocentrism and espouses the viability of the inactive approach to explain mind and life.

Football Manitoba Hundredth monkey effect The hundredth monkey effect is a studied phenomenon[1] in which a new behavior or idea is claimed to spread rapidly by unexplained, even supernatural, means from one group to all related groups once a critical number of members of one group exhibit the new behavior or acknowledge the new idea. The theory behind this phenomenon originated with Lawrence Blair and Lyall Watson in the mid-to-late 1970s, who claimed that it was the observation of Japanese scientists. One of the primary factors in the promulgation of the story is that many authors quote secondary, tertiary or post-tertiary sources who have themselves misrepresented the original observations.[1] Popularisation of the effect[edit] The story of the hundredth monkey effect was published in Lyall Watson's foreword to Lawrence Blair's Rhythms of Vision in 1975,[2] and spread with the appearance of Watson's 1979 book Lifetide. This story was further popularised by Ken Keyes, Jr. with the publication of his book The Hundredth Monkey.

Haschisch Hallucinations by HE Gowers The Spirit of “Haschisch” by Sidney Sime. Once upon a time, the discussion of drugs in British society wasn’t characterised by hysteria, paranoia and the repetition of falsehoods, but could encompass an open-minded curiosity. This is easier to do, of course, when the narcotics in question haven’t been subject to prohibition; it also helps if some of those narcotics have medicinal uses, as was frequently the case. The following article by HE Gowers, with illustrations by Sidney Sime, was published in The Strand Magazine for December 1905, a periodical famous for giving the world the adventures of Sherlock Holmes. I was reminded of the Gowers piece earlier this week when Golden Age Comic Book Stories posted a selection of Sidney Sime’s Lord Dunsany illustrations. HASCHISCH HALLUCINATIONS by HE Gowers Illustrations by SH Sime To-day many natives of Eastern lands fortify themselves with some form or the other—haschisch, bhang, gunjah, or churrus—of this drug.
