Laptops and organizer apps make pen and paper seem antique, but handwriting appears to focus classroom attention and boost learning in a way that typing notes on a keyboard does not, new studies suggest.
Students who took handwritten notes generally outperformed students who typed their notes via computer, researchers at Princeton University and the University of California at Los Angeles found. Compared with those who type their notes, people who write them out in longhand appear to learn better, retain information longer, and more readily grasp new ideas, according to experiments by other researchers who also compared note-taking techniques.

Introduction
Koide Hiroaki (66) has emerged as an influential voice and a central figure in the anti-nuclear movement since the nuclear meltdown at Fukushima Daiichi of March 11, 2011. He spent his entire career as a nuclear engineer working towards the abolition of nuclear power plants. His powerful critique of the “nuclear village” and active involvement in anti-nuclear movements “earned him an honorable form of purgatory as a permanent assistant professor at Kyoto University.”1 Continue reading ““The Fukushima Nuclear Disaster is a Serious Crime”: Interview with Koide Hiroaki”
Big Pharma-funded CNN has declared its own special war on women by assaulting any categorization of breastfeeding as “natural.”
It’s harmful to call breastfeeding “natural,” says CNN in this astonishing demonstration of medical illiteracy, because it might encourage women to engage in other “natural” behaviors. CNN, which is funded by pharmaceutical interests, harkens back to the days when infant formula manufacturers told women that breastfeeding was a barbaric practice and should be replaced with factory-made infant formula. (Look up the history of Nestle…) Continue reading “Women-hating CNN says we shouldn’t call breastfeeding ‘natural’ because it might encourage other ‘natural’ behaviors in moms (what, like childbirth?)”
Robert Borrelli said he wonders every day why Brendan Cronin shot at him and Joseph Felice at a Pelham intersection two years ago.
Cronin will have plenty of time to ponder that question in state prison. The former NYPD officer was given a nine-year sentence today for drunkenly firing at least 14 bullets at the two New Rochelle men who were driving home from a recreational hockey game, injuring one of them.

The NYPD got an order kicking a family of four out of their Queens apartment by telling a judge it was a drug den — but the dealers had moved out seven months earlier.
A lawsuit to be filed in Brooklyn Federal Court on Tuesday details an egregious case of the NYPD’s use of the nuisance abatement law — a controversial tool in which cops are able to get a temporary order barring people from their homes without first giving them the opportunity to appear before a judge. Continue reading “NYPD kicks wrong family out of their home in nuisance case, seeking drug dealers who left 7 months earlier”

Wilmington, DE — Last week, U.S. President Barack Obama disingenuously called for international tax reform in the wake of the massive leak of millions of documents from Panamanian-based law firm Mossack Fonseca.
“There is no doubt that the problem of global tax avoidance generally is a huge problem,” Obama told reporters at the White House on Tuesday. “The problem is that a lot of this stuff is legal, not illegal.”
