The Nature and Benefits of Laughter: Insights from Brain Studies

The smile is considered a soft and silent form of laughter. There are currently various interpretations about its nature. Some medical theories attribute beneficial effects on health and well-being to laughter.

Your brain automatically notices the difference, and hearing fake laughter produces more activity in an area of the prefrontal cortex.

This area is key to understanding other people's emotions.

It shows that we automatically try to understand and interpret

THE LABOUR MOVEMENT


EARLY LABOUR MOVEMENTS


The Industrial Revolution began in Britain, where workers first organized themselves into groups to pressure factory owners and governments. Working together in harsh conditions, workers saw the labour movement as the only way to improve their situation.

  • Luddism: In the early stages of the Industrial Revolution, new technologies made skilled workers lose their jobs in the textile industry. In response, some of them destroyed factory machines. This developed into the Luddite movement.
  • Chartism: The first organized labour movement with political goals. Between 1838 and 1848, this movement had millions of supporters and presented its People's Charter to the British Parliament. The movement demanded labour

How to Read the RNAm to Make Proteins After the Transcribing DNA as RNAm

It exists from the nucleus to the cytoplasm. There, ribosomes are waiting for the RNAm, and the two subunits look for the first codon AUG. The RNAm is read by triplets. All the possible combinations of codons and its corresponding amino acids are called genetic code. Mutation is the alteration of the DNA sequence that can be transmitted to the offspring (if it occurs in gametes).

Lost Boy: A Song of Neverland

Lost Boy

By Ruth B

There was a time when I was alone
Nowhere to go and no place to call home
My only friend was the man in the moon
And even sometimes he would go away, too

Then one night, as I closed my eyes
I saw a shadow flying high
He came to me with the sweetest smile
Told me he wanted to talk for a while
He said, "Peter Pan, that's what they call me
I promise that you'll never be lonely," and ever since that day

I am a lost boy from Neverland

Usually hanging out with Peter Pan
And when we're bored we play in the woods
Always on the run from Captain Hook
"Run, run, lost boy," they say to me
Away from all of reality

Neverland is home to lost boys like me

And lost boys like me are free
Neverland is home to lost boys like me
And lost boys like me are free

He sprinkled... Continue reading "Lost Boy: A Song of Neverland" »
