why do so many people want to put down others instead of work on themselves? I don't get that. I mean, think about it... there are so many people that you'll have to put down.....

NOTES

The brain is in default mode when we stare into space, sleep, succumb to anesthesia, make our mind a blank while sitting motionless—in short, when the brain’s only task seems to be keeping us alive and breathing. This default activity, to everyone’s surprise, is no mere murmur in the background of a loud symphony. It is the symphony, consuming 20 times as much energy as the conscious life of the mind, including thinking, feeling, and using our senses—the mental acts captured by the brain imaging that so entrances the public. “The brain at rest is not at rest,” says neuroscientist Alvaro Pascual-Leone of Harvard. “Even more important, this resting activity is not random, but is well organized and constitutes the bulk of the brain’s activity.

An ethnographic study documented and analyzed the idiosyncratic symbols kindergarten children employ to encode their experiences in the domains of mathematics, music, and visual art, in order to identify any patterns in use and meaning. In the area of mathematics, children were given common objects and asked to sort them. Four categories of sorting were found: idiosyncratic, material representation, idea representation, and conventional symbolic. In the area of music, children were given freedom to choose in music making. Five categories of notations were collected: exploration, representation of instrument, representation of instrument with some reference to musical elements, representation of gesture, and symbolic representation. In the area of visual arts, children were given the freedom to choose whether they painted. Structural characteristics found included exploration, topology, pattern, and pictographic representation. In each area, specific patterns emerged. In mathematics and music, children's use of symbols appeared to be linked to the representation of materials within the specific context. In the visual art portion, symbol use appeared to be context-free. The data indicated that as children become more experienced in their responses, their recordings become less context-bound and more concerned with ideas and concepts.

STEVENS, DONALD D. Citation:


The President of the United States takes pleasure in presenting the Air Force Cross to Donald D. Stevens, Captain, U.S. Air Force, for extraordinary heroism in military operations against an opposing armed force as Pilot of an O-2 Aircraft and a Forward Air Controller in Southeast Asia on 19 August 1967. On that date, Captain Stevens braved continuous hostile automatic weapons and antiaircraft fire for more than eight hours to rescue a wounded American soldier. Captain Stevens made repeated low passes directly into the heavy hostile fire to locate the wounded man and to direct medical evacuation helicopters to the area. Despite sustaining a hit in his unarmed observation aircraft, Captain Stevens persevered in his rescue attempt and finally succeeded in securing the save extraction of the wounded soldier and the reaction team that had gone to help him. Through his extraordinary heroism, superb airmanship, and aggressiveness in the face of hostile forces, Captain Stevens reflected the highest credit upon himself and the United States Air Force.
