How often do we tell our own life story? How often do we adjust, embellish, make sly cuts? And the longer life goes on, the fewer are those around us to challenge our account, to remind us that our life is not our life, merely the story we have told about our life. Told to others, but —mainly— to ourselves. ~ Julian Barnes

BRAIN SPEED
brain’s engine speed. You may have encountered gifted and savant children who can perform an amazing number of mathematical calculations in a split second and with relative ease. This is only possible because of their enhanced processing speed that slows the subjective speed of time. Some people can read over 1,000 words per minute, and experience a stretching of time as information flashes through their mind in seconds.
Ever get the feeling that someone is watching you, but you’re not sure? Try yawning and then glancing at your suspected stalker. If they yawn, then you know they’ve been watching you, since yawning is contagious.

MAHAKAAL
Philosopher Emmanuel Kant spoke of time as a “necessary representation, lying at the foundation of all our intuitions.” From the moment of birth, we are immersed in time. All of our actions and experiences evolve in time. We exist in time and our ‘sense of time’ is critical to everything we do from the mundane act of crossing a road, waiting for a reply, catching a falling object, and managing our working day, to the complex performances by musicians, dancers, and athletes using their sharpened timing skills. Without a proper sense of time, we would not be able to understand and produce comprehensible speech, read and write, focus on a task, switch attention from one thing to another, multitask, sequence the steps to perform everyday tasks, or learn new information. Time is critical to our thoughts, emotions, gestures, and essential to the way we communicate with others. Without the ability to sense time, nothing would make sense.
FUTURE X PRESENT
People in Southern European and Middle Eastern countries tend to be more focused on the present, not the future, which likely is the reason why such countries are behind in planning and are relatively less developed than their northern counterparts. It also explains why people living in Spain, France, and Greece, save less money on average, with Italians being the worst savers, when compared to people living in countries like Britain, Netherlands, and Germany who tend to be more focused on the future and are among the highest savers in Europe.
The Denial of Death, Ernest Becker declares that the fear of death is at the heart of the human condition. We all try to deny it. ‘We live our life as if we are never going to die and die as if we never lived’, says the Dalai Lama. But it is not wise to deny that our time will one day come to an end, for that will lead us to undervalue our present time. In case of such denial, we might not care how much time has already elapsed and go ahead and waste time as if we have an unlimited supply, not knowing that tomorrow may be our last. If, on the other hand, we view time as limited and scarce, everything will take on a different dimension and we will place a greater value on the things we do here and now. Every minute that we spend with a loved one, for instance, becomes infinitely more precious; and every hour that is wasted becomes a great unrecoverable

T2DM
Fatty liver can be deadly. The liver starts trying to offload the fat by dumping it back into the bloodstream in the form of something called VLDL, and that starts building up in the cells in the pancreas that produce the insulin in the first place. Now, we know how diabetes develops: fatty muscles lead to a fatty liver, which leads to a fatty pancreas. It is now clear that type 2 diabetes is a condition of excess fat inside our organs, whether we’re obese or not.

Those eating the most antioxidant-rich foods have half the odds of esophageal cancer, while there is practically no reduction in risk among those who used antioxidant vitamin supplements, such as vitamin C or E pills. The most protective produce may be red-orange vegetables, dark green leafies, berries, apples, and citrus. The benefit may come from more than just eating plants. Eating healthy foods crowds out less healthy foods; so, it may be a combination of both.

Both larger MCV and lower MCHC values were independent risk factors of developing POTS (for MCV, P < .05, OR 1.222; for MCHC, P < .05, OR 0.936). In children with POTS, responders to ORS had baseline lower MCV and higher MCHC than nonresponders (P < .05). The receiver-operating characteristic curve for the predictive value of MCHC showed that area under the curve was 0.73.

world hunger
world hunger is actually ending? It can sometimes feel like an insurmountable problem, but in fact, the world is making progress, and it’s agreed that hunger could end by as early as 2030. In 1977, over 30,000 people – most of them children – died each and every day. Today, that figure has dropped to 8,500 people – still unacceptably high, but a huge improvement, considering the world’s population has increased by 2 billion people over that time. So world hunger isn’t yet another hopeless global scenario.

OPEN TOPPED SANDWICH WITH LETTUCE TOP
There are many simple ways to still enjoy a sandwich with less or no bread: “Eat open-faced sandwiches to cut back by one slice; Go ‘animal-style’ and replace the whole hamburger bun with lettuce; scoop out the insides of a bagel; or opt for ‘thin-sliced,’” suggests Lewis. Instead of straight open-faced, “...you can also top with a piece of crunchy romaine or other lettuces to keep your hands clean while eating,” recommends Appel.
BREAD WITH OLIVE OIL
“Pair your favorite bread with healthy fats like olive oil, coconut oil, ghee and butter,” says Dr.Taz. Not only will the dipping slow you down as you eat, but it will also add some nice flavor. “The Italian tradition of bread with olive oil is a healthy option since the combination prevents over-consumption of bread.”
HOMO NOT SO SAPIENS RATHER HOMO PROSPECTUS
Your brain engages in the same sort of prospection to provide its own instant answers, which come in the form of emotions. The main purpose of emotions is to guide future behavior and moral judgments, according to researchers in a new field called prospective psychology. Emotions enable you to empathize with others by predicting their reactions. Once you imagine how both you and your colleague will feel if you turn down his invitation, you intuitively know you’d better reply, “Sure, thanks.”
If Homo prospectus takes the really long view, does he become morbid?

Initial Resuscitation & Stabilisation of the Preterm Infant (<32 p="" weeks="">Background
Infants born prematurely more frequently need support to achieve stabilisation rather than
resuscitation during fetal to neonatal transition. This guidance reflects the latest evidence and
updates to resuscitation guidance, both nationally and internationally.
Key points:
Delay cord clamping for 60s in stable preterm infants.
Careful attention to thermal care to aim to maintain temperature 36.5 - 37.5oC.
Support spontaneously ventilating infants with CPAP whilst monitoring HR and saturation
(SpO2). There is no gestation at which you should routinely intubate.
Start with an inspiratory fraction of oxygen (FiO2) of 0.30 and titrate according to oxygen and
HR nomograms.
Surfactant should be used selectively.32>
Infants born prematurely more frequently need support to achieve stabilisation rather than
resuscitation during fetal to neonatal transition. This guidance reflects the latest evidence and
updates to resuscitation guidance, both nationally and internationally.
Key points:
Delay cord clamping for 60s in stable preterm infants.
Careful attention to thermal care to aim to maintain temperature 36.5 - 37.5oC.

We identified 6 distinct reasons explaining why patients choose to access emergency and urgent care services:
Limited access to or confidence in primary care,
patient perceived urgency,
convenience,
views of family, friends or other health professionals and
a belief that their condition required the resources and facilities offered by a particular healthcare provider.

PLEASANT ANTICIPN
A practical tip to take here is that if you want to slow down time, you should always try to create pleasant anticipation in your life. When you imagine something wonderful is going to happen in the future, you create hope and excitement, both of which can make the present slow down and make it even more pleasant. We will later see that you can sometimes derive more pleasure from anticipating a pleasant event then the actual event itself. Similarly, experiencing negative feelings when dreading an unpleasant future event can sometimes be worse than when the event actually occurs."
EXPECTATION X IRRITATION
One thing to take from this is that when you have to wait, lowering your expectations about when things will get done will make your waiting time shorter and more pleasant. You will face fewer disappointments and you will be pleasantly surprised if it ends up taking less time. Change the way you look at waiting time. We are all more than happy to take a 10-minute break at work but feel we are wasting time when we have to wait 10 minutes in a queue."
SEGMENTATION X PREDICTION
Whether you are getting ready for a date, finishing your holiday shopping, completing an essay, or preparing food, you will better meet your deadline by breaking it down into small steps you have to take. The greater the segmentation, the more accurate your prediction of how long the task will take."
MONOTONY OF MEMORY
"A time interval will appear to be longer if it is rich with interesting memories. In his famous 1890 book, The Principles of Psychology, William James argues that ‘the shortening of the years as we grow older is due to the monotony of the memory’s content and the consequent simplification of the backward-glancing view’. He suggested that ‘emptiness, monotony, and familiarity are what make time shrivel up’."
