///////////Intermittent explosive disorder (abbreviated IED) is a behavioral disorder characterized by extreme expressions of anger, often to the point of violence, that are disproportionate to the situation at hand. It is currently categorized in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders as an impulse control disorder. IED belongs to the larger family of Axis I impulse control disorders listed in the DSM-IV-TR, along with kleptomania, pyromania, pathological gambling, and others.[1] Impulsive aggression is unpremeditated, and is defined by a disproportionate reaction to any provocation, real or perceived. Some individuals have reported affective changes prior to an outburst (e.g., tension, mood changes, energy changes, etc.).[2]

/////////////////Philosophy is a battle against the bewitchment of our intelligence by means of language. ... But what are the simple constituent parts of which reality is composed? - What are the simple constituent parts of a chair? - The bits of wood of which it is made?

//////////////French Existentialism Philosophy: Sartre
'Everything has been figured out, except how to live.'
///////////////EXISTENTIALISM-in any situation, no matter how confining, you have a choice. To believe you do not, is to choose not to choose.
(a) Even when you are dying, you can choose how you die: in a panic or in acceptance, without forgiving or with forgiving, as an example for others or by sole concern for yourself.
///////////////What is the one truly serious philosophical problem? Why is this so.
(a) If we answer this question by what people do, rather than what they say, then the most important question is the meaning of life.
(b) (Saying it is a question of suicide, as Camus does, is putting the question in terms on one alternative.)
(1) Many people will give up their most cherished beliefs in order to go on living: e.g., Galileo, Peter the Apostle, a wife dedicated to a marriage, which is oppressive to her.
(2) Many people kill themselves because they judge it not worth the bother: e.g., a person over sixty-five whose spouse has just died; a teenager; a person who cannot live up to someone else's expectations.
(3) Others risk their own death for ideas which give them a reason to live: e.g., Socrates, a mountain-climber, a soldier, but more importantly, you, since essentially that is what your life becomes.
/////////////////SINKOS PROBLEM=When does one choose death?
(a) When experience undermines you and you find yourself in an unfamiliar world, you are faced with "the Absurd."
(1) Consider the person who identifies worth or self with another person, a role, a profession, or a way of life. If the identification of self is broken, i.e., divorce, death, physical injury, being fired, or loss of interest, the meaning for self is lost.
(2) Tolstoy wrote his essay: "...I felt that what I was standing on had given way, that I had no foundation to stand on, that that which I lived by no longer existed, and that I had nothing to live by..." Tolstoy was undermined.
(b) One chooses death when life becomes too much: life is seen as "unfair" or arbitrary. There are too many demands, and you cannot count on anybody.
(c) In this state, some persons begin a "mechanical life'" and do not understand life. As Edna St. Vincet Millay wrote, "Life must go on, I forget just why." Tolstoy's arrest of life was seen in terms of the questions, "Why? Well, and then?

/////////////////Should I kill myself, or have a cup of coffee?”
― Albert Camus
///////////////////Camus died at the age of 46 years, the January 4, 1960, in a car accident near the town of Villeblevin. He traveled with his publisher Gallimard, who also died in the accident, and was found with an unused train ticket in his pocket, a sad final proof of the absurdity of life and death.
//////////////////He who despairs over an event is a coward, but he who holds hopes for the human condition is a fool.
— Albert Camus
////////////////UPLOC PROBLEM-We are faced with the real possibility that life is meaningless. If this sense of meaninglessness persists, we are forced to ask whether life is worth living at all. Camus says that this question of suicide is the most basic philosophical question. He opens his essay with this fundamental point:
“There is but one truly serious philosophical problem, and that is suicide. Judging whether life is or is not worth living amounts to answering the fundamental question of philosophy. All the rest – whether or not the world has three dimensions, whether the mind has nine or twelve categories – comes afterwards. These are games; one must first answer [the questions of suicide].”
///////////////.....He points out that a life without meaning does not necessarily lead to the fact that life is not worth living:
“People have played on words and pretended to believe that refusing to grant a meaning to life necessarily leads to declaring that it is not worth living. In truth, there is no necessary common measure between these two judgments.”
/////////////.....Camus’s response to this condition of the absurd is to “live in revolt.”
////////////////The gods had condemned Sisyphus to ceaselessly rolling a rock to the top of a mountain, whence the stone would fall back of its own weight. They had thought with some reason that there is no more dreadful punishment than fu tile and hopeless labor.
////////////////Camus did hold that life was absurd — defying logical explanation, and ultimately irrational. However, Camus considered life valuable and worth defending.
/////////////////What sets Camus apart from many existentialists and modern philosophers in general is his acceptance of contradictions. Yes, Camus wrote, life is absurd and death renders it meaningless — for the individual. But mankind and its societies are larger than one person.
//////////////////But what is happiness except the simple harmony between a man and the life he leads." ~ Albert Camus

RIP VAN WINKLE W IRVING TAP OVEN FIX TRIAL DAY
/////////////But Europe held forth the charms of storied and poetical association. There were to be seen the masterpiece of art, the refinements of highly-cultivated society, the quaint peculiarities of ancient and local custom. My native country was full of youthful promise: Europe was rich in the accumulated treasures of age. Her very ruins told the history of times gone by, and every mouldering stone was a chronicle. I longed to wander over the scenes of renowned achievement--to tread, as it were, in the footsteps of antiquity--to loiter about the ruined castle--to meditate on the falling tower--to escape, in short, from the common-place realities of the present, and lose myself among the shadowy grandeurs of the past.
//////////////.....The great error in Rip's composition was an insuperable aversion to all kinds of profitable labor.
//////////////......Times grew worse and worse with Rip Van Winkle as years of matrimony rolled on; a tart temper never mellows with age, and a sharp tongue is the only edged tool that grows keener with constant use.
////////////////.........Poor Rip was at last reduced almost to despair; and his only alternative, to escape from the labor of the farm and clamor of his wife, was to take gun in hand and stroll away into the woods.
//////////////.......On waking, he found himself on the green knoll whence he had first seen the old man of the glen. He rubbed his eyes--it was a bright sunny morning. The birds were hopping and twittering among the bushes, and the eagle was wheeling aloft, and breasting the pure mountain breeze. "Surely," thought Rip, "I have not slept here all night." He recalled the occurances before he fell asleep. The strange man with a keg of liquor--the mountain ravine--the wild retreat among the rocks--the wobegone party at nine-pins--the flagon--"Oh! that flagon! that wicked flagon!" thought Rip--"what excuse shall I make to Dame Van Winkle!"
////////////////........As he approached the village he met a number of people, but none whom he knew, which somewhat surprised him, for he had thought himself acquainted with every one in the country round. Their dress, too, was of a different fashion from that to which he was accustomed.
///////////////.........Rip bethought himself a moment, and inquired, "Where's Nicholas Vedder?"
There was a silence for a little while, when an old man replied, in a thin piping voice, "Nicholas Vedder! why, he is dead and gone these eighteen years! There was a wooden tombstone in the church-yard that used to tell all about him, but that's rotten and gone too."
///////////////........."Judith Gardenier."
"And your father's name?"
"Ah, poor man, Rip Van Winkle was his name, but it's twenty years since he went away from home with his gun, and never has been heard of since--his dog came home without him; but whether he shot himself, or was carried away by the Indians, nobody can tell. I was then but a little girl."
///////////////........Rip's story was soon told, for the whole twenty years had been to him but as one night. The neighbors stared when they heard it; some were seen to wink at each other, and put their tongues in their cheeks: and the self-important man in the cocked hat, who, when the alarm was over, had returned to the field, screwed down the corners of his mouth, and shook his head--upon which there was a general shaking of the head throughout the assemblage.

///////////////TIKTAALIK-Newly exposed parts of Tiktaalik roseae--the intermediate fossil between fish and the first animals to walk out of water onto land 375 million years ago--are revealing how this major evolutionary event happened. A new study, published this week in Nature, provides a detailed look at the internal head skeleton of Tiktaalik roseae and reveals a key intermediate step in the transformation of the skull that accompanied the shift to life on land by our distant ancestors.
//////////////////.....Tiktaalik, of course. Pronounced tik-TAA-lik, this 375 million year old fossil splashed across headlines as soon as its discovery was announced in April of 2006. Unearthed in Arctic Canada by a team of researchers led by Neil Shubin, Edward Daeschler, and Farish Jenkins, Tiktaalik is technically a fish, complete with scales and gills — but it has the flattened head of a crocodile and unusual fins.

Although Insight meditation and Zen meditation take a practitioner to the same place, there are differences in technique - sort of like the differences between a Toyota Camry and a Honda Accord.
Insight meditation, sometimes called Vipassana meditation, cultivates insight into what the Buddha described as the three characteristics of all mental phenomena: transience, non-self, and suffering. Traditionally, Insight meditation is preceded with samatha meditation, a technique that develops a stable mind. With this stability, the practitioner can more easily develop insight into the true nature of phenomena. While there are many Insight meditation techniques, the basic practice involves developing awareness of the the mind and body.
Mindfulness is frequently used as a synonym for Insight/Vipassana meditation and this can be appropriate. However, the term can also refer to a particular Insight meditation technique, especially that taught by Thich Nhat Hanh. This technique may involve labeling of mental phenomena (e.g., "thinking," "wanting," etc.)
Zen refers to a collection of meditation techniques. Of these, most Zen teachers employ one of the following:
- Mantra practice - the silent repetition of a particular phrase.
- Koan practice - introspection into a short, often puzzling story ("the sound of one hand")
- Shikantaza - the practice of "just sitting" and not doing anything special with the mind
- Counting - counting the breath in one of several ways
Zen teachers sometimes say that Insight meditation can too easily become analytical and sterile. Insight meditation teachers sometimes say that Zen meditation fails to illuminate how we produce suffering.
In truth, all these meditation techniques are quite wonderful. And any of them, if practiced with sincerity and constancy, will result in the cessation of suffering. That's the point of Buddhism.

America and Asia are on a collision course that will form a huge supercontinent dubbed 'Amasia', scientists predict.
in another 50-200 million years.
According to predictions by experts at Yale University, Africa and Australia will also join the new supercontinent. Their theory, discussed in the journal Nature, is based on the analysis of magnetic data locked into rocks.

Coronary artery disease or CAD, which kills tens of thousands worldwide every year, is likely to pass from father to son, reveals a study.
A new study by the University of Leicester's cardiovascular sciences and genetics departments, which took four years to complete, suggests that the Y-chromosome, a part of DNA present only in men, plays a role in the inheritance of CAD.

Perhaps for these people, the value in religion is not in having faith itself, but in the social capital that comes with it in a pious society.

//////////////........Scientists for instance have recently discovered, what they claim is, the oldest animal on Earth, uncovered so far. Dubbed, Otavia antiqua, this primitive life form was found in a 760-million-year-old rock in Namibia, Africa. There, scientists discovered hundreds of such fossils, the size of a grain of sand, and with sponge-like appearance.
........ It most likely lived in calm waters, including lagoons and other shallow environments and most likely fed on algae and bacteria, which the animal drew through pores on its tubelike body into a central space. The digestion occurred directly into the animal’s cells.
