Your little whitewashed cottage with a thatched roof in Tuscany is surrounded by wheatfields, and bordered by olive trees with grapevines studding the rolling hills behind. Wisteria climbs the side of the cottage. The late afternoon sun is heavy. She's waiting for you as she works in the garden.

Trying to learn more about color, edges, mood, etc. Attempting to teach myself more through trial and error, studying work by artists I admire. I hope to get good at this someday. There's a long way to go, but perhaps this process will keep me sane(ish) and--at least--channel not-so-productive energies into something interesting and well-crafted...eventually.

Night or otherworldly view of strange machines, a dome or tower in the far background: a girl runs out of the carnival-like setting down a woodland path, a happy grin on her face. She's somewhat ghostly, her dress is mist and partly colored by the autumn leaves that fall around her. In the mechanical guts of the nearest structure there is a light bulb, and some red lights that indicate power is "ON." Bursts of light, star-like, emerge from the machine and arc over the top part of the composition. The girl is unafraid, bold, and of more than one world.

#Health #Memory #Wasabi

A study conducted in Japan suggests there's more to sushi than just a healthy dose of fish and seaweed. Researchers at Tohoku University found that wasabi, that spicy green condiment traditionally dabbed on the raw fish dish, improves both short- and long-term memory.

I've certainly seen from playing Wordle every day that your game improves over time. The brain is like a muscle (not in how it functions) in that practice and time spent sharpening it, does show improvement. It's like any hobby you do too - practice makes better (or perfect if you really dedicate regular time).

There are many apps out there that purport to beef up your memory skills, though research on whether they work has been spotty and conclusions about efficacy are pretty limited. One thing we do know is that they're not going to magically cure major cognitive decline. Still, if a few puzzles a day help you feel better and get your gears going, it could be worth a download just to get that rush. Apps are just one of many ways to get a little brain boost, but below are some of the better ones out there.

I've tried Lumosity and Cognifit so far. Lumosity is quite nice in that it benchmarks you against others of your age profile. Cognifit was a bit more difficult and the finesse you can use your mouse with, does also make a difference. Most are time based, so you also want to make sure you are in a space where you won't be disturbed at all. Any phone alert etc is going to pull your concentration away.

These are the best apps for improving your memory and brain function.

A portrait photo of a young girl - with blonde curly hair and dark blouse with white collar.

I saw white Southerners pretending to move "with all deliberate speed to integrate" institutions, while refusing to move an inch.

And since that time, I've seen over and over the ravages that systemic racism and racial injustice inflict on US society, because our society as a whole has refused to move towards racial justice. Those ravages are on glaring display in the Trump era.

The problem is not moving quickly. It's the refusal to move at all.

My formative experiences watching the civil rights struggles unfold in the US South, as a white Southerner, have convinced me for my entire life of the opposite of what Last thinks:

The risks Last sees in civilizations changing too quickly, I see in civilizations moving too slowly, in refusing to change when change is morally imperative.

I saw my fellow white Southerners kicking, screaming, refusing to move to accept rights for people of color.

I remember heated, concerned discussion about that crisis when Arkansas governor Faubus defied federal imperatives to integration Little Rock's Central High and the National Guard was called in. I remember how this was discussed around my extended family's table at Christmas.

I remember the anxiety and anger, the determination of white people to resist according rights to people of color. I remember also the recognition that this was flatly wrong.

Last then invites readers to share their "earliest public memories" and how those have affected us. Because I am not a paid subscriber to Last's site, I can't respond there. What I'd have said:

I grew up in the 1950s and 1960s in the US South as the civil rights struggles became intense. Quite specifically, I was born and grew up in Little Rock, Arkansas, until my family left there in 1958.

I remember the Central High crisis in 1957.

Jonathan V. Last says that he grew up in the 1980s when Pope John Paul II and Ronald Reagan dominated the news. The two were paired in many people's minds as a kind of rock-star conservative duo who influenced a whole generation in the direction of conservatism. Last says these formative experiences convinced him:

"I have always believed that civilization is fragile, that moving too quickly carries unseen risks…."

“One can tell a great deal about a country by what it chooses to remember: by what graces the walls of its museums, by what monuments are venerated, and by what parts of its history are embraced. One can tell even more by what a nation chooses to forget.”
