Summary

Strange Time Perceptions explores the subjective experience of time, revealing how our brains construct this fundamental aspect of reality. The book highlights that our perception isn't fixed but is shaped by emotions, attention, and cognitive processes, such as how moments of crisis can seem to stretch on, demonstrating temporal distortion. It delves into the neuroscience behind our internal chronometer, examining brain regions like the basal ganglia and prefrontal cortex that contribute to our sense of timing.

 
The book progresses by first establishing the psychological and neurological basis of time perception. It then investigates specific phenomena like time dilation and the influence of memory, offering insights into how daily routines affect our subjective experience. Finally, the book explores practical applications, such as stress management and improved cognitive performance.

 
By synthesizing findings from psychology, neuroscience, and biology, Strange Time Perceptions provides a comprehensive understanding of this complex phenomenon, making it valuable to anyone interested in the workings of the human mind.

Doctor's In The: Treating...

Alan D. Weinberger, CJ Arlotta

About the Book 
Many have compared the “Roaring Twenties” from the last century, to the 2020s of the 21st century. The new freedoms of this era (similar to 100 years ago) have caused disruptions, mainly as the Internet ‘flattens’ our world and accelerates outcomes that can be felt around the globe. One certainty, no matter how the new economic, political, and social structures will evolve, is the appearance of bad actors that will continue to use cyber warfare and cyber insecurity to their benefit. This book details in an easy-to-read format how we can best protect our “life, liberty and pursuit of happiness” in our new digital age.

Body Art - The Ultimate Form Of...

Owen Jones

I hope that you will find the information helpful, useful and profitable.
It could easily be argued that body art is more popular than at any time in history. In days long gone by, sailors were the most heavily tattooed sector of society, but for decades now, that sector is the youth, which is a larger group than those who put to sea.
Not only has actual tattooing found a wider demographic, but technology has expanded the methods that can be employed to enhance our bodies. Nowadays, for example, you can get a fake tattoo that will last a couple of days for a special event. In a similar vein, women can be body-painted and the casual observer would be forgiven for not seeing a naked lady.
This doesn’t work so well for men, for obvious reasons!
You can also get fake tans, hair dyes, and nail varnishes that can easily be applied at home. There are also teeth whitening, cheap wigs, and coloured contact lenses available. Not to mention cheap sunglasses and fake glasses of numerous kinds.
The ultimate form of body art is plastic surgery. Many ordinary people aspire to plastic cut, tucks and nips these days – it is not only the privilege of the rich and famous. In fact, some countries, like Thailand, offer holidays that include plastic surgery (and other forms), so that your friends will hardly recognise when you return from a month’s holiday!
In fact, with all the options for body art available on a typical Western high street, no-one need look the same two days running!
The information in this ebook on various aspects of body art and related subjects, such as piercing, body painting and tattoos, is organized into 18 chapters of about 500-600 words each.
I hope that it will interest those who like to write a diary and blog, or would like to, plus webmasters who need content for their online publications.

I Thought I Was Here to Help -...

Maggie Runyon

When healthcare focuses on power and not people, practitioners and patients get left behind.

Maggie's path toward nursing began with a love for the show ER and a desire to help people. As she began her career, though, she realized how ill-prepared she was for the mental health challenges and administrative demands that face modern-day registered nurses.

Now, she extends a compassionate call to young and early-career nurses to understand the systemic challenges facing their chosen profession. With an emphasis on the power of nurse leadership and the necessity of mindfulness and intentional self-care, she highlights how becoming an advocate for one's patients and oneself is a path toward improved health outcomes.

For dedicated nurses just starting their careers or trying to push through a slump, I Thought I Was Here to Help starts a gentle conversation and challenges readers to rethink the handmaiden and hero archetypes in nursing.

Maggie takes a close look at her healthcare career journey, highlighting the expectations that draw students to nursing . . . and the exhaustion and medical burnout that can drive them away. Through vivid clinical vignettes and research-backed insights, Maggie shows nurses they are not alone in grappling with the harsh realities of their profession.

In seven transformative lessons, Maggie offers hope for the future and calls upon nurses to unite as advocates for their patients, their profession, and themselves. Her gripping narrative serves as a guiding light for nurses ready to embrace their true purpose as healthcare advocates.
