Fast Time and the Aging Mind Gwendal Le Bec By RICHARD A. FRIEDMANPublished: July 20, 2013AH, the languorous days of endless summer! Who among us doesn’t remember those days and wonder wistfully where they’ve gone? Why does time seem to speed up as we age? Even the summer solstice — the longest, sunniest day of the year — seems to have passed in a flash. No less than the great William James opined on the matter, thinking that the apparent speed of time’s passage was a result of adults’ experiencing fewer memorable events: “Each passing year converts some of this experience into automa... mais »

Ontem mandei este texto para a Zero Hora e a Folha... Não tenho muita expectativa de que publiquem, pois trata de interesses de seus anunciantes e financiadores... Se publicarem, pode ser um vespeiro... Sei que estou contra a corrente (mais uma vez...)... Mas acho que este é o momento de discutirmos isto, antes de ampliarmos o numero de cursos e de médicos no Brasil... Formar médicos no Brasil é muito caro e acho que eles devem ser utilizados da forma mais custo-efetiva possivel... O profissional chamado Médico em Cuba é diferente, adaptado à realidade local... Mais barato que o no...mais »

Advertisement Advertisers in Japan are renting space on women's thighs to promote their products. Women receive, on average, $121 per thigh to spend a day plastered in stickers advertising products such as music and movies.
