Franceschini stasera a Matrix dichiara: “Alle primarie del PD, più d 2 milioni di voti saranno un successo!”
Astuta strategia di marketing preventivo: in realtà i dirigenti del PD conoscono bene quante persone riusciranno a muovere per la votazione.
Adesso, a pochi giorni dalle elezioni, fanno le dichiarazioni propedeutiche così potranno proclamare il successo trionfale delle primarie con un quarto dei voti che hanno ricevuto alle ultime elezioni!
Se poi ci aggiungiamo il fatto che la conta dei votanti è un’operazione autogestita, ciò mi consente di sbilanciarmi in una previsione: alle primarie del PD andranno a votare 4 milioni di elettori!
The Power of Your Imagination (Part Two) “The Power of Your Imagination (Part One)” shows how you can use your imagination to make an unpleasant existence into something more enjoyable. For example, while waiting in a long line, you can use your imagination to daydream about a morning hike along a mountain river. You can read Part One at www.tipsforsuccess.org/imagination1.htm. Your imagination has several other powerful uses. “Imagination could be classified as the ability to create or forecast a future or to create, change or destroy a present or past.” -- L. Ron Hubbard Increase Your Productivity Your imagination can make you more efficient. Try this: List all the tasks you want to complete today. Before you start, take a few seconds to imagine yourself completing everything on time. When you imagine the successful completion of a task, plan or goal, you are not easily sidetracked. You know how to make progress. It's like having a mental road map to follow. Break Bad Habits For example, you want to quit smoking cigarettes. So you create a future where you do not smoke. You see yourself enjoying a wonderful dinner in a fancy restaurant with no urge to light up. If you never change your mind, you work all day with no cigarette breaks. You watch your lungs clean up. Dump Mental Baggage Whenever an experience in your past bothers you, use your imagination to change it or destroy it. For example, when you were a child, a girl named Wanda teased you about your big nose. She made you hate your nose and it still bothers you. Instead of getting a nose job, you imagine a different past. Wanda is now your best friend. Bang! You feel no need to change your big nose. Understand Others Use your imagination to understand how others feel. For example, your neighbor's barking dog wakes you up every night, but you don't know how to talk to your neighbor about the noise. So you imagine that YOU have a barking dog. Your neighbor wants you to keep the dog quiet. How should your neighbor discuss this with you? Use your imagination to understand how your spouse, children, parents or friends feel. For example, you want to improve your marriage, so you imagine what it's like to be your spouse. How does it feel to be married to YOU? What must you change about your behavior to improve the marriage? You use your imagination to change the present. Solve Problems
Write down a problem you currently face. Make a list of possible solutions. Imagine how each solution will work. Select the solution that appears to work best in your imagination. Resolve Fears For example, you are terrified of speaking in public, but need to give a talk to your church group. You see a future where everyone boos and throws rotten tomatoes at you. Using your imagination, you change this future and see everyone fascinated with your talk and grateful to you for giving them the information. Then, just as you imagined, you get on stage and notice the congregation is smiling and interested in what you have to say. You notice that you feel no fear. Improve Your Future Perhaps the best use of your imagination concerns your future. What do you really want to happen? What will your future be like if everything goes well? Imagine this future. You can imagine any future you like: happiness, money, justice, peace, love, prosperity and more. You have an unlimited number of ways to use your imagination to change your past, improve your present and create a successful future. Use your imagination to discover them!

The Power of Your Imagination (Part One) If you were locked up in prison for ten years, how would you keep your sanity? If you feel locked in a bad marriage, bad job or bad living arrangement, it might seem like you are in prison. The stress and depression can be unbearable. Even waiting in long lines, traffic jams or boring meetings can feel like jail. Fortunately, you have the ability to improve your mood in any situation. “Imagination is a good thing, not a bad thing. With daydreaming, for instance, a person can convert a not-too-pleasant existence into something livable.” -- L. Ron Hubbard
Instead of feeling frustrated while sitting in a traffic jam, have a daydream about your next vacation. You can lay in your hospital bed for hours, with nothing to do, and enjoy a daydream about a shopping trip. You can spend an entire day in a jail cell while imagining a day at the beach. Your imagination reduces your stress and lightens your mood. Instead of enduring life, you enjoy it. You control the dream; the dream does not control you. Imagination is so powerful, it can do much more than make bad conditions more bearable. “Imagination could be classified as the ability to create or forecast a future or to create, change or destroy a present or past.” -- L. Ron Hubbard Destroy a Past After being married to Bill for 10 years, Julie has an brief affair with an old boyfriend. She breaks off the affair and tells her husband Bill what she did. Months later, Bill tells his friend, “I've tried, but I just can't forgive her. I want us to have a wonderful marriage, but all I can think about is her in a motel bed with her boyfriend.” Bill's friend, who knows the power of imagination, says, “Use your imagination to fix this. Imagine she never had the affair.” Bill does this. “Okay. Julie never even saw this guy. It never happened. She was shopping.” He closes his eyes and puts his imagination to work. A few minutes later, he says, “Fantastic! I feel better about this. I even think I can forgive her now.” Of course, Bill knows Julie was unfaithful, but the past incident no longer ruins his marriage. He used his imagination to destroy the affair. Change the Present Liz works for a nasty, mean boss. “Liz! I told you to clean my bathroom. Get to work you stupid cow!” She feels like crying whenever he yells at her. Liz uses her imagination to change the present. “I'm going to imagine my boss is only five years old and I let him think he's really important.” Now, when the boss yells at Liz, she secretly smiles at his tantrums. Liz uses her imagination to change the present. Create a Future Three years after graduating from high school, Charles is still broke. “I work hard at ABC Computers, but I just can't get ahead. And I don't want to fix computers for the rest of my life.” Charles uses his imagination to create a future. “I will create a new website that millions of people will pay to use. It will be valuable, but inexpensive. It will become very popular and will make me wealthy.” He daydreams about his new website every day. He thinks of several new ideas. He imagines how each page would work. Using his imagination, he even solves all the problems that may occur with his future website business. Charles arranges to get transferred to the ABC Computers website design team. When his new boss recognizes his creativity, she gives him exciting new projects. Charles enjoys his new work a great deal. His pay doubles within a few months. Charles keeps imagining his own website business and works on it at home every night. Charles used his imagination to change his future. Three More Ways to Use Your Imagination 1. Successful business owners are constantly imagining how they can give a better service or produce a better product. They turn these imagined improvements into reality which increases their business income. As a worker, a great way to increase your income is to do the same. Imagine getting more work done than ever before. Imagine ways your work becomes more valuable. Imagine your boss being so delighted with you that you get raises and promotions. 2. Use your imagination to feel happier. Mentally see yourself smiling and feeling good. Try it right now. Imagine you will feel energized and happy in 60 seconds. 3. Use your imagination to change a condition with your body. For example, if you are ill, imagine the disease slowly dissolving. If you have a layer of fat you don't like, imagine it disappearing. If you wish to look more attractive, use your imagination to make it so. If you wish you were shorter or taller, had more hair, had more energy, looked younger or whatever, simply imagine the change. If you maintain your imaginary appearance over time, don't be too surprised if your body changes!

Secondo Wikipedia, il vincitore viene deciso dopo lento e laborioso scrutinio di proposte che arrivano da circa tremila tra enti e personalità selezionate. La decisione viene presa sula base di candidature presentate prima del 3 febbraio e vengono comunicate a metà ottobre. La cerimonia ufficiale avviene il 10 dicembre.
Obama ha giurato come presidente il 20 gennaio 2009.
Significa che ad Obama sono bastati 10 giorni per vincere il Nobel. Sembra più un premio alle intenzioni; speriamo sia di buon auspicio.
Intanto però si parla di aumentare il numero di militari americani in Afganistan.
Credo che tutti si augurino la storia possa confermare questo premio come una scommessa vinta.
la mente è una proprietà della materia, […] quindi non può esistere senza un sostrato molecolare”.
A me sembra piuttosto che la mente sia una proprietà della vita.
Altrimenti non si spiegherebbe tutto questo spreco di materia senza mente nell'Universo!

MENTE E CERVELLO SOTTO LA LENTE DELLA SCIENZA
• da "Terra"
di Annalisa Chirico
Anno 2004. Referendum sulla legge 40. Il neurofisiologo Piergiorgio Strata si avvicina all’Associazione Luca Coscioni e, due anni dopo, ne diventa copresidente. Direttore scientifico dello European Brain Research Institute, Strata si ritaglia alcuni minuti del suo tempo sovraccarico di impegni per registrare un intervento al congresso online dell’associazione. Ripensando a quella battaglia si “sente con la coscienza a posto”. Tra i 100 firmatari della proposta referendaria in Italia e primo firmatario di una mozione analoga al Parlamento Europeo, Strata scese in campo senza remore. “Era doveroso farlo” per permettere la ricerca sulle cellule staminali embrionali congelate, destinate alla distruzione. Il copresidente dell’ALC affronta il tema del rapporto tra scienza e fede. Il suo è un richiamo a uno “spirito laico” e al rispetto reciproco tra le posizioni in campo. Premessa doverosa, cui segue l’analisi dello scienziato. Le ricerche degli ultimi venti anni, e ancor di più quelle in corso, dimostrano che esiste una correlazione tra il fenomeno mentale e quello fisico. “Il mentale può essere causa delle molecole nello stesso modo in cui la geometria di una ruota può influenzare le molecole della ruota stessa”. La traiettoria tracciata da una ruota che cade lungo un pendio dipende dalla sua geometria, che non è materia. In altre parole, la scienza ci dice che “la mente è una proprietà della materia, e che quindi non può esistere senza un sostrato molecolare”. Il Congresso Mondiale per la Libertà di Ricerca Scientifica ritorna all’attenzione dei congressisti grazie all’intervento di Carmen Sorrentino, coordinatrice del progetto. Il monitoraggio della libertà di ricerca e di cura nel mondo, come enunciato nella dichiarazione finale del secondo incontro a Bruxelles, è un programma ambizioso, che richiede risorse e competenze specifiche. “L’energia del movimento è quello di cui abbiamo bisogno”, conclude la Sorrentino.

Chi sarebbe disposto a buttare alle ortiche le idee liberali e democratiche pur di diventare il Comandante Supremo di un battaglione di Comunisti come queste?
L’autore era in “malattia” da almeno 5 mesi (leggesi: era in cura da almeno 5 mesi).
Qualcuno è disposto a scommettere che non stesse prendendo psicofarmaci? Beh, neanch’io!
Non c’è che dire: un’altra cura di successo della psichiatria…

Uccide padre e madre e si suicida
Salerno,47enne soffriva di depressione
Tragedia famigliare nel Salernitano. Un uomo di 47 anni ha ucciso a fucilate gli anziani genitori e il suo cane. Poi, barricatosi in casa, si è tolto la vita. E' accaduto a borgo San Lazzaro, nel comune di Serre. L'omicida avrebbe imbracciato il fucile da caccia del padre, regolarmente detenuto, e poi avrebbe iniziato il massacro. Sembra che soffrisse per uno stato ansioso e depressivo.
L'uomo, in preda a un raptus è poi uscito nel cortile e ha ucciso il cane. Infine ha rivolto l'arma contro se stesso e si è tolto la vita. L'omicida era in malattia dallo scorso mese di aprile in quanto affetto da crisi depressive. Secondo i carabinieri della compagnia di Eboli la strage famigliare non sarebbe stata originata da alcuni dissidi ma sarebbe il tragico frutto delle forti crisi. L'uomo non era sposato e non aveva figli ma viveva con i genitori.
