Music Has Power
Leaders in Music Therapy, Neuroscience, Research and Training
The Institute for Music and Neurologic Function's groundbreaking and internationally recognized programs use music therapy to assist the "awakening and healing" of individuals with a wide range of neurological conditions including strokes, trauma, dementia, Alzheimer's and Parkinson's diseases.
Institute for Music and Neurologic Function
Researchers have discovered that music has a stimulating effect on the human brain and can be used to improve certain neurological disorders. The Institute for Music and Neurologic Function allows patients to receive the benefits of music through its renowned Well–Tuned: Music Players for Health Program. Using an MP3 player/iPod, individuals can benefit from therapeutic music programs throughout their day...

Penis Spines, Pearly Papules, and Pope Benedict’s Balls | The Primate Diaries, Scientific American Blog Network
Penis Spines, Pearly Papules, and Pope Benedict’s Balls The Primate Diaries, Scientific American Blog Network
Throughout the Order Primates, as well as in many other mammal species, males have developed small (and sometimes not so small) keratinized structures along the head and/or shaft of their penis that have been adapted to maximize reproductive success. According to the, rather appropriately named, primatologist Alan Dixson in his book Primate Sexuality, these spines can be simple, single-pointed structures like in macaques or complex ones with two or three points per spine like in the prosimians (lemurs and lorises). These different forms of penis spine therefore suggest different mating strategies that various species have adopted during their evolution.

Duplicity Script - transcript from the screenplay and/or the Clive Owen and Julia Roberts movie
Owens: So how longwere you gonna keep me waiting?
Roberts: I'm sorry.Are we supposed to know each other?

Someone was first.
I don't mean the idiot who found a burning stick and kept it going.
I mean the fellow who could make fire.
And until that knowledge was stolen,
that fellow was the most powerful person on the planet.
And it means something to be first.
To be most.
It means a great deal.
It means you have an opportunity to reproduce with the highest frequency and with the most desirable partners.
It means your offspring have the greatest chance of survival
and a better opportunity to make their own fire.
I personally believe that human evolution has run its course.
We live in a world where the people who can make fire
have a tendency to wear condoms,
sit in casinos and drink themselves into a stupor.
I believe that individual evolution has been replaced by something else.
By a shared evolution.
A communal contest, if you will.
I believe, Ms. Stenwick, in corporate evolution.
I believe that the corporation that is first, that is the most,
has an opportunity to manufacture with the highest frequency
and in the most desirable markets,
and that its shareholders, by extension,
have the greatest chance of survival and reinvestment.
