Slow to the touch

Slow to the touch:

People are slower to respond to tactile words (e.g., “itchy”) than words from the others senses:

Psychologists think the answer may have to with attention. Perhaps we’re not so good at keeping our attention focused on the tactile modality compared with the others. Now [researchers] have added to the picture by showing that the tactile disadvantage extends to the conceptual domain. That is, we seem to be slower at recognising when a word is tactile in nature than we are at recognising whether words are visual, to do with taste, sound, or smell.

Why are we touch-word disadvantaged?

They think this is because there’s little evolutionary advantage to sustaining attention to the tactile modality whereas there are obvious survival advantages with the other senses, for example: ‘…in hunting, where efficacious looking, listening and even smelling for traces of prey could afford an advantage.’

Something for certain content strategists, perhaps, to keep in mind.

zenofblogging:

Wow this is an amazing rendition of Lisztomania by Phoenix done by the children chorus of P.S. 22 in New York City. This group of young professors do other covers of songs in which you see on their YouTube page. I love it when indie songs are sung by children choruses! It adds a nice unique vibe to it.

Wow!

“The term “Lisztomania” was coined by the German romantic literary figure Heinrich Heine to describe the massive public response to [Franz] Liszt’s virtuosic piano performances. At these performances, there were allegedly screaming women, and the audience was sometimes limited to standing room only.”

Sam Sparro - Black and Gold at The Nokia Green Room. A respectable live performance… and these lyrics are surprising deep; it seems he is pondering the existence of God.

Lyrics:

if the fish swam out of the ocean
and grew legs and they started walking
and the apes climbed down from the trees
and grew tall and they started talking

and the stars fell out of the sky
and the tears rolled into the ocean
now i’m looking for a reason why
you even set my world into motion

‘cause if you’re not really here
then the stars don’t even matter
now i’m filled to the top with fear
that it’s all just a bunch of matter
‘cause if you’re not really here
then i don’t want to be either
i wanna be next to you
black and gold
black and gold
black and gold

i looked up into the grey sky
and see a thousand eyes staring back
and all around these golden beacons
i see nothing but black

i feel the weight of something beyond them
i don’t see what i can feel
if vision is the only validation
then most of my life isn’t real

‘cause if you’re not really here
then the stars don’t even matter
now i’m filled to the top with fear
but it’s all just a bunch of matter
‘cause if you’re not really here
then i don’t want to be either
i wanna be next to you
black and gold
black and gold
black and gold

The lamp contains luminol, a chemical that reacts with the iron in blood and creates a bright blue glow.

buddhabrot:

“Magma from the mantle intruded the deep crust and cooled slowly. Pyroxene and olivine started to crystallize from the magma. Since these where heavier than the surrounding magma, they sank to the bottom of the magma chamber where they became layered. Later, the remaining melt intruded higher levels of the continental crust, where it cooled and crystallised as tønsbergite, larvikite or lardalite. Some million years later the rock was carved and polished by glaciers during the ice age.” via

I don’t know why this man isn’t a world famous multi-millionaire yet. But anyway he does it for the love, so it’s all good. The man has patience!
