This document discusses the science behind music therapy and its healing properties. It explains that everything in the world, including the human body, is made up of energy and vibration. Music affects us on psychological, physiological, and emotional levels. Certain components of music like rhythm, melody, and harmony can be used to invoke different emotions. Positive emotions induced by uplifting music can promote health while sad music may induce stress hormones. Music therapy can be used to treat various conditions such as depression, aphasia, amnesia, and ADD by stimulating the brain and regulating emotions. Beyond just listening, music therapy may also involve playing, singing, or vocalizing music.

The giant ancient forest you cannot see coyote crossingLisa Schmidt
The document describes the creosote bushes that dominate the Mojave desert as an "ancient forest" that is invisible to many. It notes that individual creosote bushes can be thousands of years old, with some estimated at over 11,000 years old. Though unremarkable in appearance, these creosote bushes represent a vast ancient landscape that is increasingly threatened by development and habitat destruction. The author argues this ancient desert ecosystem deserves more appreciation and protection.

Periodic table's 7th row completed with discovery of four new elements ifl ...Lisa Schmidt
The 7th row of the periodic table has been completed with the discovery of four new elements by scientists from Russia, the U.S., and Japan. The elements occupy positions 113, 115, 117, and 118 and were previously known as Uut, Uup, Uus, and Uuo respectively. The discoveries were ratified by IUPAC, allowing the elements to be formally named. The Japanese team that discovered element 113 will name it, with reports suggesting it may be called "Japanium". Completing the 7th row was an important achievement for chemistry as the periodic table is now filled down to that row.
Tools used in geography include maps, globes, GPS, remote sensing, and GIS. Maps show physical features and are printed on paper, while globes model the spherical earth accurately. GPS uses satellite distances to determine position. Remote sensing studies objects from afar using tools like aerial photography. GIS digitally analyzes and displays geographic data, allowing overlay of different data layers.
