The social aspect of music may be beneficial for your brain, too. Corbett also told Newsweek that the singers in the study had better complex task completion as they aged. But the study noted that the benefits that come with singing may also have to do with the social connections that are formed when singing with a choir or in a group setting. "Music doesn't usually happen in isolation," Fesharaki-Zadeh said. Think about it: Music is often played in a group, practiced with a teacher or performed for other people. That social interaction is one of those protective factors for brain health, he added.
The Grid, which challenges users to Remember A Guy that fits into various different categories every day, delivered an efficient if sometimes maddening way to scratch a mental itch that has been with me for more or less my whole life. At the very least, I'll generally do one in the morning to wake my brain up, and while I'm not sure that thinking about what teams Mike Fetters played for before breakfast is right for everyone, it absolutely works for me.
These researchers explored the influence of forgiveness on the memories of victims and perpetrators of a wrong. In particular, they explored whether forgiveness affects people's ability to remember the details of past events, whether they can remember the emotions they experienced in that past event, and also whether that memory still elicits an emotion. Across several studies, participants were given a prompt to remember a past event.
When we think of 'digital product design', it's tempting to frame it in terms of usability, engagement, or revenue. But those are surface-level outputs. Underneath, design decisions are time-shaping mechanisms.
I remember my mother exactly as I saw her for the first time: wearing a blue, azure suit, a white shirt, black heels, and dark brown mid-length hair curled with a bold red lip.
That's what these newer events do best. They draw you in with sound, light, movement, even scent. You're part of it, and regular nights out don't feel the same.
I have a recurring dream about my father and me, one of the few welcome dreams I have about him. We're both in our late thirties, though he's fitter than I remember him ever being. We're at Fenway, out in the right-field bleachers, several rows behind Ted Williams's red seat.
"Generations of Ginza-goers will be disoriented, but the San Jose restaurant at 215 E. Jackson St. is now called Kaita," wrote the Merc. "Six months ago, Koji Sugimoto bought the closet-size Japantown landmark, ripped out its worn walls, and installed new blue carpeting and comfortable benches."
Motherhood is often described as a balancing act - juggling schedules, ambitions, emotional labor, marital needs. But nearly seven years into marriage and four kids later, I've come to believe that motherhood isn't simply about balance. It's about memory. It's about navigating the relentless, complicated push and pull between remembering and forgetting.
People are not very good at remembering things the way they really happened. If an experience is an article of clothing, then memory is the garment after it's been washed, not according to the instructions, over and over again: the colours fade, the size shrinks, the original, nostalgic scent has long since become the artificial orchid smell of fabric softener.
Hamilton's work beautifully embodies the weight of absence through a combination of embroidery and oil painting, capturing the essence of lost memories and cultural assimilation.
Elaine O'Hara, a warm and vivid woman, is remembered for embracing life's challenges with joy, from being a tomboy to a rugby enthusiast.
