	Quote:	In 1896, a daring journalist covering the Cuban revolution against their colonial masters crossed the Spanish lines three times to interview insurgent leaders. William Francis Mannixs final trip into the Cuban interior was made at the request of the leader of the insurgent government, Salvador Cisneros Betancourt. El Presidente Cisneros wanted the intrepid correspondent to carry back an appeal begging for support from the American people.... Mannix scored a journalistic triumph, but it was not one that his editors, legislators, or readers imagined. His three trips over enemy lines and his stories, including the Cisneros appeal, were all fakes. Mannix wrote them while sitting in the bar of the Moscotte Hotel in Havana or - for a change of scenery - on the hotels veranda.
	Comment:	With our TV and newspapers, we live in a version of "Plato's Cave", seeing only the shadows of reality cast upon the cave wall, and our making guesses about what must be going on. History is written by the winners. Those who hate them try to rewrite it. Then add to that the flawed nature of human memory, and you wonder how our human world CAN work! This is why I say that it is our sacred duty, the savred duty of each and every one of us, to Seek the Truth in All Things!

Mge33-002	Genome-wide analyses reveal shared and distinct genetic architecture linking amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, sporadic frontotemporal dementia and cognitive traits
	Quote:	These findings indicate that the cognitive dimension of ALS has its own locus-resolved genetic architecture, distinct in part from its relationship to sFTD and identify MEF2C, UNC13A and, recurrently, the MAPT/17q21.31 locus as top-ranked pleiotropic candidates for ALS-COG, ALS-sFTD and sFTD-COG respectively.

	Quote:	Now, Salk Institute neuroscientists have brought together physiological and computational research on these waves and proposed a broader explanation for what they do. Their conclusion is that neural traveling waves may function as a computational engine in the visual cortex. By moving through neural circuits, the waves may help the visual cortex (and likely other areas of the brain) create internal representations of the outside world, supporting our ability to perceive what is happening, reconstruct recent information, and anticipate what may happen next.

	Quote:	Certain imagery-based psychotherapy techniques may help reduce fear of failure connected to painful childhood experiences, according to research from scientists at SWPS University and the Nencki Institute of Experimental Biology. The findings were published in the journal Frontiers in Psychology.
