..."One of the priorities is to move from simply describing psychiatric disorders to understanding how they develop. The scientists hope that this will yield benefits in the same way that with cancer, understanding how different processes give rise to the disease has opened up new personalised treatment strategies."

COMPUTATIONAL PSYCHIATRY CENTRE

The worlds' first computational psychiatry centre has opened in London with a mission to shine a new light on human cognition and understand how it becomes disrupted in disorders such as depression and dementia. The centre aims to use computational models to bridge the gap between neuroscience and the phenomena seen in psychiatric disorders.The centre, which is named after its funders and will be based in London and Berlin, will use powerful modern technology in an effort to create more detailed models than ever before of how the human brain works.Professor Ray Dolan, academic co-leader of the centre, said: "The brain is at some level an information processing machine and we have to understand what it's doing and how that information processor is working. We are trying to understand normal cognition with respect to the type of processes that go awry in psychiatric disorders and in ageing, we then intend to apply these models to understand ageing, depression or any other psychiatric disorders where we think the models may be appropriate. "

Ulman Lindenberger, director at the Max Planck Institute for Human Development, said: "If you have a whole, functioning, normal model of how decision-making or emotional responses work in the normal functioning brain, you can look at what are the early indicators in the brain [in disorders] and even try to stop them."
One of the priorities is to move from simply describing psychiatric disorders to understanding how they develop. The scientists hope that this will yield benefits in the same way that with cancer, understanding how different processes give rise to the disease has opened up new personalised treatment strategies.
Doland said that there may also be progress in a more controversial field, noting that while there is recognition that becoming less physically capable is an unavoidable part of ageing there is not the same recognition that mental capability will also deteriorate, save in the case of dementia. He said that by understanding this reduction in mental capability, there could possibly be drugs to treat it, although there are ethical issues around such intervention. "Who at the age of 75 would not like to think like people at the age of 30?" he said.

In my opinion when the people have de possibility to found new forms to investigate the most important thing, for example, the brain and the development of mental disorders, have the need to exploit this resource and have the best result. And with this best result, continue for the advance for the humanity.

PARANORMAL ACTIVITY

DEFINITION: PARANORMAL ACTIVITY.

It is called paranormal when there are events which are unusual; the name used refers to phenomena that occur as the psychological, physical and biological. After being studied cannot be explained by the causes and processes of the laws of physics established by science.
So parapsychological phenomena point to the operation of factors usually unknown or unrecognized by science, which we usually refer as paranormal factors. In some paranormal events we found spirits or souls that to show that they are still among the living, make an appearance visible or produce sounds, smells or move objects. These phenomena are studied by parapsychology. Resulting inexplicable established sciences is necessary to consider a phenomenon as "paranormal", such effects must also have its own characteristics that distinguish them and depart from natural phenomena.
TYPES: Popularly known different types of paranormal events. There are two groups. In the first group are those who have the ability to obtain information about a "parallel world", such as telepathy.
In the second group consider those events that have physical effects. In these paranormal events observed motion. Unknown physical effects cause detected movements of objects without any visible force, appearance of different sounds, etc.

DIFFERENT TYPES:

RESIDUAL ACTIVITY: this activity is very common among other paranormal phenomena. This is an event or image that is played over and over again through the years. Generally the places where this activity is reported are places where a traumatic event occurred. It is believed that the event liberates what may be called "psychic impression" that is printed in the atmosphere of a place. The visual manifestations are not always but often reproduce sounds and noises that have no explanation. Some researchers believe that the construction materials used in the structures can absorb the energy. In England and Europe, the walls of ancient castles can absorb that energy and that would be the reason why there are so many activity.
INTELLIGENT ACTIVITY: it is described as the personality of a person who once lived and has been in our world instead of to the other side. This usually happens in the case of a murder, a traumatic event or some unfinished business, which took place in the life of the person and for that reason at the time of death, the spirit refused to "move" because of these events. In other cases, the possibility exists that the spirit has not yet been realized who died. This can happen when the sudden death is concerned.
INHUMAN OR DEMONIAC ACTIVITY: demonic activity is manifested by entities that never had a mortal human form. They are extremely rare and most violence is involved.

• Some words are popularly used witchcraft, spiritism, ghosts and Satanism; people associated with the paranormal.
  SPIRITS: When we speak of spirits usually refer to something which would be a lost soul, it has not been out of this world.
  GHOSTS: Ghosts are lost souls of dead humans. Ghosts are noticeably taking a visible appearance, making sounds or smells or moving objects. They frequent places of his past.
  SATANISM: Satanism is a reverence and admiration for the devil. They practice different rituals characteristic to this belief.
  WITCHCRAFT: is associated with witches. Witches use magic to activities. These activities have evil ends.
  
  ARGUMENTS AGAINST:
  - The truth is that most of us have no record that these things happen. There is a small group of people who affirm the existence of the paranormal or have the ability to appreciate it.
  
  - Most wonder why some people do astral travel, see ghosts, read the future or have paranormal powers while other humans have no skills. It is also curious that these phenomena happen only in people who believe in them.
  
  -Trust in paranormal powers, beings from another world or hidden energies always existed in human history. Over time many reasons appear to justify these events. The fear of death or thinking we can be alone in the universe are some of the causes for something beyond the real world.
  
  - We need to understand and to explain the real world are other reasons. Early humans could not understand why natural disasters occurred, for example, and interpreted it as a punishment from the gods. When wanting to know is separated from mythological explanations begin to find rational explanations for all these phenomena.
  
  -Many scientists who have investigated the claims of the paranormal for a long time never found evidence to support these paranormal events. Not that science can not explain, is that even their existence is found.
  
  
  
  
  • PERSONAL OPINION: I am one of those person suspicious, so I do not believe in the paranormal. Yet I have an open mind and I like to listen to situations or experience that other people share. I do not judge, but do not believe in those things. I would have to live it in my life, to have a vision of their own.

USB flash drive: Technical device.

USB flash drives are typically removable and rewritable, and physycally much smaller than an optical disc. USB flash drives are often used for the same purposes for which floppy disks or CD-ROMs were used: for storage, back-up and transfer of computer files.
They are smaller, faster, have thousands of time more capacity, and more durable and reliable because they have no moving parts.

A flash drive consists of a small printed circuit board carrying the circuit elements and a USB connector, insulated electrically and protected inside a plastic, metal or rubberized case which can be carried in a pocket or on a key chain, for example.
USB flash drives were invented be Amir Ban, Dov Moran and Oron Ogdan, all of the Israeli company M-Systems, in April, 1999. Trek Technology and IBM began selling the first USB flash drives commercially in 2000. Trek Technology sold a model under the brand name "ThumbDrive", and IBM marketed the first such in North America with its producted named the "DiskOnKey".

These portable devices have emerged as the storage device of choice for millions of users and have replaced previous drives. The frequent travelers, mobile workers, academics, students and other professionals can easily carry this data storage devices from place to place. One of the characteristics that increase their success is the quality of grasp-release; files can be transferred from the device to the PC and vice versa.

The USB flash drives is very useful for me, transported photos, files, and especially music. Another use is to transport give presentations to high school among other works.

NETIQUETTE.

Netiquette is the social code of the internet. In theory, it is an ethical code, online ethics. The internet has its own culture, Netiquette. The cyber etiquette and digital manners between users are the rules of netiquette. They are cultural norms for status updates, email etiquette, privacy settings, and lists.
The rules of netiquette are net etiquette and internet ethics rules for effective communication. The core rules of netiquette are proper netiquette applied to everyday internet use. Internet users are human beings, so Netiquette is human, it takes into account the context of how information is shared. This applies the human condition to the content of the data.
Netiquette is the combination of network and etiquette. It is the social code of the internet because the internet is a network and etiquette is a social code. Internet etiquette is centered around data and its use. The types of data that netiquette rules apply to are: text, audio, graphic, and video. Each website supports these types of data to some degree.


1.The Golden Rule: Treat others as you would like to be treated. This rule is an oldie but a goodie and can get you through just about any situation, online or off!

2. No "Flaming": Flaming is a form of verbal abuse when you intentionally attack or disrespect somebody for whatever reason. Maybe you didn't agree with something they said, but there's a nice way to share a different point of view without name calling or attacking someone. Harassing or insulting someone will not likely help you gain many online friends!

3. Respect Others' Copyrights: There are wonderful things online, information for everyone on just about any topic! However, these things have copyrights and licenses. Copying the works of someone else without permission or saying it is your own will not only ruin your online reputation, but could land you with hefty fines and lawsuits!

4. DON'T TYPE IN ALL CAPS: It hurts our eyes. It makes people think you are shouting at them. It's okay to type in caps to accentuate a word or two, but please don't do it all the time everywhere you go.

5. Don't Spam: As a blog owner, I get hundreds of spam messages each day. Most of them aren't even legible, with things like "kjhgsawu" typed in the comments and links to sites with adult or inappropriate content. I don't appreciate it! Some spammers are getting really sneaky, as they use the same generic post over and over again like "I really like your blog" - if you own multiple blogs like I do though you can quickly identify these types of spammers! There's a fine line between spam and self-promotion, do it very carefully!

6. Be Honest: Faking website statistics, pretending to be someone else, or trying to cheat people online will not only hurt your reputation but can land you in a lot of hot water. You know the line honesty is the best policy, it's also one of the 10 best rules for netiquette.

7. Use Proper Grammar & Spelling: If u rite liek this lol ppl might start 2 get mad lol. :) We understand spelling isn't always easy and typos and basic spelling mistakes will happen. But if it's distracting from your message, it can be annoying. Using a browser such as Firefox 3 with built in spell check can be a life saver for bad spellers! Be careful not to use too much web jargon, seeing lol used more than twice in a sentence or two is probably unnecessary and does not promote good internet etiquette.

8. Follow the TOS: Most sites have a terms of service policy that also lists rules of netiquette. Read it and abide by it! I am constantly reading discussions on MyLot about people who have had discussions deleted because what they posted did not meet the terms of the website.

9. Keep it PG-13: I never write or say anything I wouldn't let my kids read. It can really come back to haunt you if you write something that's not appropriate - as a blog owner, it could mean trouble with Google if you use them for adwords or like to be ranked in search engines since they seem to penalize swearing/adult content sites.

10. Research Your Facts/Cite Sources: I can't tell you how many times I read something (often politically related) that is not even close to the truth. There is so much information out there online, it can be very difficult to distinguish what is true and not true. Before posting something, forwarding emails, or going off on a tangent, make sure it is factual and cite sources if possible to boost your credibility. Not only will this help keep down on the hoaxes and insanity floating around online, but it can help make you build a solid reputation online.

EQUAL ADOPTION.

Equal adoption is the possibility that all couples can adopt. No matter the sex of them, it is the equality of all people and allow their rights to be respected. It is a very dificult topic even in society because of discrimination; people do not accept the difference. The changes are not easy, but the intention is to walk against discrimination, and to accept diversity. Since September 2009, same-sex couples joined by a civil union can adopt together. So the progress continue and Uruguay accepts equal adoption.

I found some opinions, for example, Margarita Percovich said: "It is a right for the boys and the girls, not a right for the adults". Based on the supporters of LGTB adoption, they suggest that many children are in need of homes and claim that parenting ability is unrelated to sexual orientation.
In this photo you can see a happy family. All people need the opportunity and nobody can judge.

It is necessary for all people to accept the diversity and have the capacity to not judge the different ways to express love. In my opinion, equal adoption is one idea for progress, the principal intention is to promote the right for all children: to have a family!
