Monkeys have used stone tools for hundreds of years

source: University of Oxford 2016年7月11日
New archaeological evidence suggests that Brazilian capuchins have been using stone tools to crack open cashew nuts for at least 700 years. Researchers say, to date, they have found the earliest archaeological examples of monkey tool use outside of Africa. In their paper, published in Current Biology, they suggest it raises questions about the origins and spread of tool use in New World monkeys and, controversially perhaps, prompts us to look at whether early human behaviour was influenced by their observations of monkeys using stones as tools. The research was led by Dr Michael Haslam of the University of Oxford, who in previous papers presents archaeological evidence showing that wild macaques in coastal Thailand used stone tools for decades at least to open shellfish and nuts.

The Apports of Amyr Amiden with Stanley Krippner

source: New Thinking Allowed 2016年6月9日
Stanley Krippner, Ph.D., professor of psychology at Saybrook University, is a Fellow in five APA divisions, and past-president of two divisions (30 and 32). Formerly, he was director of the Maimonides Medical Center Dream Research Laboratory, in Brooklyn NY. He is co-author of Dream Telepathy, Extraordinary Dreams and How to Work with Them, The Mythic Path, and Haunted by Combat: Understanding PTSD in War Veterans, and co-editor of Healing Tales, Healing Stories, Varieties of Anomalous Experience: Examining the Scientific Evidence, Advances in Parapsychological Research and many other books.
He is a Fellow of the Society for the Scientific Study of Religion, and has published cross-cultural studies on spiritual content in dreams.

Here he describes his research in Brazil with an unusual spiritist medium, Amyr Amiden, who had the ability to produce apports. Krippner describes how his team observed over ninety instances of objects simply appearing in mid-air and dropping to the ground in front of startled observers. The objects included semi-precious stones, medallions, and even jewelry. Many research papers were published regarding these observations. Furthermore, the research team was able to record various physiological, and geomagnetic, measurements while the phenomena occurred. Krippner’s studies are probably the most extensive, scientific observations of apports on record.
New Thinking Allowed host, Jeffrey Mishlove, PhD, is author of The Roots of Consciousness, Psi Development Systems, and The PK Man. Between 1986 and 2002 he hosted and co-produced the original Thinking Allowed public television series. He is the recipient of the only doctoral diploma in "parapsychology" ever awarded by an accredited university (University of California, Berkeley, 1980). He is also past-president of the non-profit Intuition Network, an organization dedicated to creating a world in which all people are encouraged to cultivate and apply their inner, intuitive abilities.

Jonathan Butterworth, “Research at the Energy Frontier: What, Why, and How?”

source: Yale University 2016年6月30日
Shulman Lectures in Science and the Humanities - "Physics of Dance”
“Research at the Energy Frontier: What, Why, and How?”
Jonathan Butterworth, an experimental particle physicist, is head of the Physics and Astronomy Department at University College London. His current research is on the ATLAS experiment at the CERN Large Hadron Collider (LHC), where he has led a UCL group that contributed to the tracking, trigger, and software for the experiment. His work has focused on physics processes at the LHC that will help us discover more about electroweak symmetry breaking, or basically “why some things have mass.” This included searching for the Higgs boson, discovered in July 2012. Butterworth won the Chadwick Prize from the Institute of Physics in 2013 for his pioneering experimental and phenomenological work in high-energy particle physics, especially in the understanding of hadronic jets. He writes regularly for the Guardian; his book "Most Wanted Particle," on the discovery of the Higgs, was published in 2014.

How to Live to 100 | Lynda Gratton | RSA Replay

source: The RSA 2016年7月7日
How to Live to 100. What will your 100-year life look like? Does the thought of working for 60 or 70 years fill you with dread? Or can you see the potential for a more stimulating future as a result of having so much extra time? Many of us have been raised on the traditional notion of a three-stage approach to our working lives: education, followed by work and then retirement. But this well-established pathway is already beginning to collapse - life expectancy is rising, final-salary pensions are vanishing, and increasing numbers of people are juggling multiple careers. Offsetting the excess of negative debate about longevity, Lynda Gratton and Andrew Scott take a fundamentally different approach - seeing long life an opportunity for a fundamental restructuring of finances and careers, and of relationships and leisure – in other words, for a redesign of life.

Karan Bajaj: "How to Plan a Sabbatical, Dharma, & The Yoga of Max's Disc...

source: Talks at Google 2016年7月14日
"Top 40 Under 40" executive and bestselling author Karan Bajaj visits Google to talk about how you can take a yearlong creative sabbatical from your day job. Among other topics, Karan discusses the concept of "dharma," and how it applies to your life and career. He also offers a variety of tips for aspiring writers.
In 2013, Karan and his wife left their exec jobs in New York and embarked on a road trip from Europe to India. They left behind their material possessions and spent a year learning yoga and meditation in the Himalayas. The trip served as the basis of his new book, "The Yoga of Max's Discontent," which was released in India as "The Seeker."
