The document discusses memory athletes and London taxi drivers who have highly developed memories. It finds that these individuals have enlarged hippocampi, the part of the brain involved in memory formation and spatial navigation. However, the enlargement is due to repeated practice and cognitive exercise of their memories over time, not innate differences in brain structure. Both memory athletes and taxi drivers employ the "memory palace" technique of associating information with spatial locations, capitalizing on the hippocampus' roles. The key to improving memory is regular practice and engagement with the brain, rather than any special brain type. Studying neurobiology provided context for how memory works in the brain and performance.

The Jewish Trinity : Sabbath,Shekinah and Sanctuary 4.pdfJackieSparrow3
we may assume that God created the cosmos to be his great temple, in which he rested after his creative work. Nevertheless, his special revelatory presence did not fill the entire earth yet, since it was his intention that his human vice-regent, whom he installed in the garden sanctuary, would extend worldwide the boundaries of that sanctuary and of God’s presence. Adam, of course, disobeyed this mandate, so that humanity no longer enjoyed God’s presence in the little localized garden. Consequently, the entire earth became infected with sin and idolatry in a way it had not been previously before the fall, while yet in its still imperfect newly created state. Therefore, the various expressions about God being unable to inhabit earthly structures are best understood, at least in part, by realizing that the old order and sanctuary have been tainted with sin and must be cleansed and recreated before God’s Shekinah presence, formerly limited to heaven and the holy of holies, can dwell universally throughout creation

Some years ago, an Indian company complained to the WIPO and
ICANN over misuse of their brand name. Another company had
registered a domain name identical to its own brand.
Submission: in 1995, the brand name was formed:
- putting together its parent company’s 1st two letters (could
easily have been the last two letters also)
- and the word for “coin (of a certain metal)” in one language.
- Brand enjoys good sales in South Asia and even in Dubai.
+ The other company (HQ in Dubai)
- Contention: the same term coined by body + love/passion from
a different language
- appropriate as they sold body care products since 1997.
X lost the case as it could not prove Y had registered the domain in
bad faith. What brand name was in contention?
