Memory is the mechanism by which world information is collected in our brain, to give us an understanding of who we are. This asks us what we experienced yesterday, or five years ago, and this will instruct us to what to do next. A nursery rhyme may trigger memories of our youth, or a happy memory may come to mind while we listen to a type of music. Think of what would happen if you lose your mind all of a sudden? Hold on and imagine 2 minutes You'd be up to nothing. As Plato once said about memory -' all knowledge is memory.' If you completely lose your memory you'd have to spend time learning everything from beginning, just like a newborn child.
In reality, anything we do in our life can be linked to memory every second because all of our knowledge is focused on it. An argument to illustrate this: If you didn't remember the sounds of the alphabet's 26 letters you wouldn't be capable of reading this book right now.
THE BRAIN OF MAN
The most complicated organ known to man is the human brain. Because humans are the species with the largest brain-at least in comparison to body size-it is no wonder that their systems are very complex. The brain controls any small aspect of one's life, from breathing, circulating the air, walking and sensing the world around us, to more abstract (thinking) functions, responding to external stimuli and controlling emotions. Indeed, strong emotions like love and hate emerge from the brain, quite the reverse of the ancient stories that tell us that love emerges from our souls. Sex drive and the impulse to bear children often emerge from the brain, in addition to desires and body functions. All of these actions, processes and impulses arise at an unconscious level, because our brain does not have to keep us informed of our hormone production, circadian rhythm or blood circulation, and this helps us to concentrate on more nuanced, cognitive issues such as drawing up plans, learning new skills and analyzing our environment knowledge.
The brain is the largest data storage facility ever to exist, far beyond a man's testicles ' storage capacity (yes, if you're a man you can be proud of your collection, as they hold more data than any computer). The brain collects information every second, and retains it. In fact, half a second is a long time for the brain, because the pace at which it operates is extremely rapid. Billions of photos, sounds, messages, and ideas are processed by the brain in one unit of time.
Like so many people, this amazing and infuriating thing called brain had mystified me as a child. It worked so well in casual and comfortable circumstances that I seldom noticed it; in exams it only performed well on occasion, to my surprise, but was more frequently associated with' bad memory, ' the terrifying region of forgetting. Since I spent much of my infancy with animals in the country, I started to realize that the misnamed' stupid' creatures might have exceptional memories, sometimes superior to mine own. How, therefore, was human memory inherently so flawed? I began to study in detail, enthusiastically devouring details about how the ancient Greeks had developed complex memory mechanisms for different tasks; and how the Romans later applied these strategies to help them to remember entire books of myth and to please their listeners during senatorial presentations and discussions. My attention became more concentrated when I was in college, when the insight gradually dawned on me that these simple systems could not only be used for 'red' or parrot-like memory, but might be used for the mind as gigantic filing systems, allowing incredibly quick and efficient access, and greatly increasing general understanding. I used learning techniques, playing games with my intellect to develop my memory, and supporting other students, ostensibly on the path to academic failure, obtain first-class success.
Over the past decade, the boom of brain research has reinforced what memory researchers, gamesters, heuristic technicians, and illusionists have always known: that our brain's holding power and the ability to remember what's held there are far and delightfully beyond normal bounds. Use Your Brain, a major new advancement from the Use Your Head brain sections, is an initial tour of what should have been mentioned as the first among the world's seven wonders: the' hanging gardens' of boundless memory and inspiration. There are ten billion nerve cells within the three-pound box of the human brain, and about one hundred billion smaller assisting cells. That is more power than a system, in a tiny package. If you added all of the world's telephone communications and multiplied that amount by 1,349, you'd get the overall number of brain associations that your brain is capable of. As each decade passes, specialists and researchers are constantly learning about the brain -its functions, what threats it faces and ways to protect it. They also experiment with ways of making the brain more fastidious and thus smarter. If they make a "smart pill" or not, there are avenues you can train the brain to be more successful right now. You should shield your brain from outside stimuli which are harmful. You should learn to feed and activate your brain so that not only do you survive to a reasonable old age, but all your mental capacities are preserved.
You can grow your brain capacity and we'll show you how in the subsequent article. Wait for that "smart pill." You can start to clear up confusion in your thoughts right now, and try thinking better and clearer, no matter what your age. What might your life be like if you could easily, quickly and effectively learn and remember the information? Just think about it. I'll give you a collection of powerful memory-enhancing mindsets and skills in this short, easy-to-read book, which will allow you to take control of your learning and your life. In the areas of fast thinking and memory development, you can discover many innovative methods, both old and new, that were learned by the best minds in the world. "The memory is a monstrous, glorious mess, The memory & its functions."

Описание: Racism and white supremacy have survived in the United States for a very long time because from the onset, it was based on sound `engineering.` The book contends that racism is not a belief, practice, or ideology that flared up by accident or through the spur of the moment. Rather, it followed sound engineering stages like planning, design, and construction. Racism was designed to serve a domineering purpose for white people and, therefore, there was a lot of planning that eventually led to its design and construction. Because the architects had a vision of its permanency, they chose the most durable materials for its construction. Metaphorically, they used mortar, bricks, and steel beams. These durable materials, among others, include religion, science, government (including the Supreme Court), the constitution and laws, brutality, and social media. As the centuries rolled by, succeeding architects of this design and construction have done a superb job in maintenance and modifications to elude stumbling blocks. Based on the times and prevailing winds, the racism construct has undergone mutations to evade capture and destruction - even to this day. Like a car, the engineering and engineers have evolved, the models and make are changing, but the underlying engineering remains intact. Today, the overt, brash, and brutal racism has generally ceded to an equally destructive, calculated, politically-correct, less pompous, highly sophisticated, and veiled racism. The book dissects this durable foundational construct and proffers recommendations that will systematically minimize its intensity.
