El impresionismo surgió a mediados del siglo XIX en Francia cuando jóvenes pintores rechazados por la Academia de Bellas Artes comenzaron a pintar paisajes y escenas de la vida cotidiana al aire libre usando colores puros y pinceladas sueltas para captar efectos de luz y movimiento. El término "impresionismo" se popularizó luego de que un crítico se burlara de una obra de Monet titulada "Impresión, sol naciente". Sorolla fue un impresionista español

Modest Mussorgsky fue un compositor ruso autodidacta del siglo XIX conocido por obras como "Boris Godunov" y "Cuadros de una Exposición". Compuso principalmente canciones y música para piano en un estilo nacionalista ruso que incorporaba ritmos y escalas folclóricas. Aunque murió a los 42 años, dejó un legado de óperas inconclusas y piezas para piano que exploraban el espíritu del pueblo ruso.
Recreational mathematics includes puzzles, games, and problems that do not require advanced mathematical knowledge. It encompasses logic puzzles, mathematical games that can be analyzed with tools like combinatorial game theory, and mathematical puzzles that must be solved using specific rules but do not involve direct competition. Some common topics in recreational mathematics are tangrams, palindromic numbers, Rubik's cubes, and magic squares.

According to neuroscientist Richard Davidson's research:
1. Meditating Buddhist monks showed much greater brain activation and better organized neural connections in the prefrontal cortex compared to student volunteers.
2. This suggests mental training through meditation can physically change the structure and function of the brain.
3. Davidson's previous research found the left prefrontal cortex is associated with happiness, and the monks' brain activity was especially high in this region.
This document summarizes the results of a study on the effectiveness of mindfulness-based stress reduction (MBSR) in Hong Kong. The study had 21 participants who completed pre- and post-testing and a 5-month follow up with 13 participants. Testing showed significant reductions in psychological symptoms as measured by the SCL-90-R psychological symptom inventory. At the 5-month follow up, most participants reported continuing mindfulness practices like meditation and yoga weekly and applying mindfulness to daily activities. Participants also reported improved health attitudes, behaviors, and ability to handle stress.
