Why Writers Are the Worst Procrastinators
Like most writers, I am an inveterate procrastinator. In the course of writing this one article, I have checked my e-mail approximately 3,000 times, made and discarded multiple grocery lists, conducted a lengthy Twitter battle over whether the gold standard is actually the worst economic policy ever proposed, written Facebook messages to schoolmates I haven’t seen in at least a decade, invented a delicious new recipe for chocolate berry protein smoothies, and googled my own name several times to make sure that I have at least once written something that someone would actually want to read. Lots of people procrastinate, of course, but for writers it is a peculiarly common occupational hazard. I once asked a talented and fairly famous colleague how he managed to regularly produce such highly regarded 8,000 word features. Over the years, I developed a theory about why writers are such procrastinators: We were too good in English class. The Fear of Turning In Nothing “Exactly!”
New Research Shows Poorly Understood “Leaky Gut Syndrome” Is Real, May Be the Cause of Several Diseases
Russian spy-watcher Andrei Soldatov on Snowden’s strange behavior in Russia, the Nemtsov assassination, and signs of a power struggle in Putin’s inner circle. Andrei Soldatov’s beat is Russian spies, which is a hot topic for a new cold war. As editor of agentura.ru, an online “watchdog” of Putin’s clandestine intelligence agencies, he has spent the last decade reporting on and anatomizing the resurrection of the Russian security state, from KGB-style crackdowns on dissent at home to adroit or haphazard assassinations abroad. Most recently, Soldatov and his coauthor and collaborator Irina Borogan broke serious news about the extent to which the Federal Security Service (FSB) was surveilling and eavesdropping on everyone within slaloming distance of the 2014 Sochi Winter Olympics. Weiss: You’ve no doubt seen the CNN report about Russian hackers infiltrating White House computers and obtaining President Obama’s personal schedule. Soldatov: Reportedly, it took months. [Soldatov nods.]
Gender-specific and gender-neutral pronouns
A gender-specific pronoun is a pronoun associated with a particular gender, such as a pronoun denoting female or male. Examples include the English third-person personal pronouns he and she. A gender-neutral pronoun, by contrast, is a pronoun that is not associated with a particular gender, and that does not imply male or female. Many of the world's languages do not have gender-specific pronouns. Problems of usage arise in languages such as English, in contexts where a person of unspecified or unknown sex is being referred to, but the most natural available pronouns (he or she) are gender-specific. Overview[edit] Some languages of the world (including Austronesian languages, many East Asian languages, and the Uralic languages[1]) do not have gender distinctions in personal pronouns, just as most of them lack any system of grammatical gender. In English: If anybody comes, tell him. See also Grammatical gender: Mixed and indeterminate gender. English[edit] In 1789, William H.
Cancer therapy using sodium bicarbonate
The fundamental reason and the motives that suggest a therapy with sodium bicarbonate against tumours is that, although with the concurrence of a myriad of variable concausal factors – the development and the local and remote proliferation of these tumours has a cause that is exclusively fungin. At the moment, against fungi there is no useful remedy other than, in my opinion, sodium bicarbonate. The anti-fungins that are currently on the market, in fact, do not have the ability to penetrate the masses (except perhaps early administrations of azoli or of amfotercin B delivered parenterally), since they are conceived to act only at a stratified level of epithelial type. We have seen that fungi are also able to quickly mutate their genetic structure. Sodium bicarbonate, instead, as it is extremely diffusible and without that structural complexity that fungi can easily codify, retains for a long time its ability to penetrate the masses.
RP Dicemaster on Shapeways
Chuck Stover uses Shapeways' RP tech to crank out some intricate and seriously geeky Dungeons-&-Dragons-type dice, available in a variety of materials but best purchased in stainless steel. "Stainless steel has the heft to roll correctly and feel right in your hand," he writes. Geeky though these are, they're a great example of something that would take you forever to make using conventional methods, if you even could at all; and ones like the spiky pyramid below go for a reasonable six bucks and change.

Scientific Evidence that Cannabis Cures Cancer
“Clearing the Smoke – The Science of Cannabis” reveals how cannabis acts on the brain and in the body to treat nausea, pain, epilepsy and potentially even cancer. Extensive interviews with patients, doctors, researchers and skeptics detail the promises and the limitations of medicinal cannabis. Even though the video has an American perspective, marijuana use is illegal throughout many countries of the world for reasons that are not clear. This video is important because it mainly investigates the scientific basis underlying the medical benefits of marijuana use instead of focusing on the social, political and legal hysteria that have been attached to it. The paper mentioned in this video, Marihuana Reconsidered, was published in book form. The author, Dr Lester Grinspoon, is the world’s leading authority on marijuana.

Calcified Pineal Gland: How to Decalcify It
Image credit: www.flickr.com/photos/carbonnyc/7906814072/ The pineal gland is one of the most mysterious glands of the human body, because it has many mystical properties. Modern scientists define the pineal gland as a pine cone shaped gland located at the center of the brain that produces melatonin, helps regulate sleep patterns and influences sexual development. Besides regulating sleep patterns and sexual development, the pineal gland acts like an inner portal that connects us to other dimensions, such as the dream and spiritual planes. When you have a calcified pineal gland, it could lead to sleep problems, sexual disorders and chronic fatigue. Is the pineal gland the third eye? When we look at the external part of the pineal gland, it looks like a pine cone. Another important feature of the pineal gland is that it may produce dimethyltryptamine (DMT). Unlike our regular eyes, the pineal gland or third eye has the ability to see both physically and intuitively. Iodine supplement
