Love is not in the heart

For a long time people believed that the main source of love in the human body - the heart. This is not surprising, since the state of love that body reacts very rapidly - more frequent contractions. But not so long ago, scientists discovered that the brain responds to the most wonderful feeling in the world no less intense.

The group of neuroscientists at Syracuse University under the direction of Stephanie Ortizhu investigated the processes occurring in the human brain when it is in a state of love. Scientists have discovered that love is not only a sense of euphoria that was known before, but also can affect the mental abilities of people.

Generally, the love starts in the brain sets a very complex chemical and biological processes. By the way, the euphoria is one of them - it is the result of the fact that 'thinks body ' Valentine synthesized a large amount of endorphins (proteins that cause a feeling of satisfaction ). However, if you love the neurons of the brain is synthesized not only them - also increases the production of noradrenaline, dopamine, oxytocin and vasopressin.

The first two compounds are neurotransmitters ( substances that provide the transmission of nerve impulses from one cell to another ), working in the cortex of the brain that are responsible for the analysis of information from around the world. In particular, visual and auditory.

Perhaps this is why all the colors seem more vivid in love and rich, and the outlines of objects, on the contrary, vague and fuzzy - a consequence of an overabundance of norepinephrine. Dopamine also leads to an exacerbation of auditory sensations - it is not surprising that a man in love can be, figuratively speaking, to hear even the ' sound of growing grass '.

Increased concentration of these two substances in the brain makes more attentive lover - he begins to see and hear what had not noticed before. Not surprisingly, if the ' sacrifice of love ' is a scientist, then chances are that, being in love, he will make a great discovery, incredibly increases. But here's how to interpret it is unlikely to be able to - centers responsible for logical thinking, it will be in a few depressed, because it does not cope with the huge flow of information coming to the ' processing '.

In general, the idea of love at the time of the entire nervous system works in a few extreme mode - too much information overload attacks the nerve cells. However, the ' failure ' and ' failures ' in the rate practically does not occur due to the fact that, as a group Ortizhu found in okolomozgovye fluids increases the concentration of protein NGF, or as scientists call it, nerve growth factor.

This protein is encoded by a human specific gene in the first pair of chromosomes. It stimulates the growth and development of nerve cells and is involved in the reconstruction of damaged neural structures of various. That is why love and can withstand considerable nervous strain - NGF, if necessary, and ' breakdown ' fix and save the overload.

Studies have shown that the greatest release of all brain substances are those couples who fell for the first time. Follow Love is doing the body more resistant to this ' disease '. The number of NGF with those who are ' second ' and ' third ' love, and falls.

In addition, scientists have found that different types of love, cause increased activity of different parts of the brain. For example, the love of mother and child ' hurt ' mainly the midbrain and the surrounding area to him of the cerebral cortex. But love is essentially the opposite sex are most affected by the visual centers of the forebrain - probably saying ' Men are like eyes ' really is science- based.

As for the heart, it ' fibrillation ' in love, as it turned out, also controlled by the work of the relevant parts of the brain. And blame it already mentioned noradrenaline, though for a company with oxytocin and vasopressin - it is their excess and causes a rapid rhythm of the organ. So it seems that people really like to first of all head and not heart.

Poland, Warsaw, Gdansk



Easy to retreat for those who think that Kaliningradians in a special position. Nothing of the sort - the conditions for entry and exit are the same. However, the situation makes the presence of consulates almost all interesting countries: Poland, Lithuania, Germany and so on. Many are semi-annual and annual visas. Get a not so simple - it is necessary to meet so many conditions that it is easier to make it semi-legally by intermediaries for 350-600 euros. But in the end be able to travel around Europe for a year without much of hemorrhoids.

The border - is another story. Pograntsy with special parties harbor warm feelings for entering / leaving, but are forced to stay within the permissible. T. e. is not rude, but if you have a chance to find fault or potormozit - they do. Polish customs officer at the exit of people froze for 5 with registration taksfri, alternating with the design of a personal conversation about the other tamozhennitsey, believing that we are not nifiga rozumeem in Polish. However, the pan does not take into account the relatedness of languages ​​and sufficient transparency windows. So I once again remembered with gratitude the Lithuanian border, where we are confined to clearly display passports in the car window.






We were settled in Hotel Ibis - Accor hotel group of Italian. Generally, in Poland, many hotels of this group: several ibises, Sofitel, Novitel. Rooms cost us 150 euros for two days. The level of the hotel - two stars: small rooms, in room vayfay sickly shower, CRT TV, hair dryer. The main advantage - location in the center. The Old Town for about 15-20 minutes. Prior to Arcadia - the main shopping center of Warsaw - even less.










Old Town ( Stare Miasto ) - the main attraction of Warsaw. Warsaw - a relatively young city in terms of building. The war is enough for her hard- paced, so that more or less the old buildings remained only in the center. The rest - a post-industrial buildings: skyscrapers 15-20 floors. The photo can be seen royal palace - now a museum.






What to do in Old Town? . By the way, curiously, the Poles, too, love to visit Old Town.






Streets in the Old City can waft of nostalgia for narrow streets of the cities thousands of years, but do not be fooled, these streets are found only here in this museum site.






Tourist attractions are not God knows how many. This stroller, and even a mime imitating a miner of gold, that's all that we have met. As we left the Old City, we saw this stroller again - she was carrying some bags.






Poles - a very pious. Religion inculcated them with childhood, so many young people in churches. Own churches - large and majestic. A prominent priest in them no less popular pop stars: near the entrance shows two posters. In one poster, a person of the bishop, on the other schedule of masses. In Poland, the transcripts to come and listen to the known mass of Bishop.






A nun. In general, people in similar attire occur no more frequently than we have priests in cassocks - just next to the appropriate institutions ( picture was taken in the courtyard of the cathedral photograph above). But there in the Old City we saw a priest who conducted a tour for students.






If you go to the outskirts of Old Town, you can see a panorama of Warsaw. yes. Here is a city and there is. It is not Moscow. I would say that the closest previously seen from the city - to Peter.






With a little uvidivilo: tourists with dogs. In our hotel, I ran into her aunt, who has been on a leash shaggy poludvornyaga. In Kaliningrad, only 1-2 are ready to take you to the hotel with a shaggy friend.






Another panoramic view. The stadium, being built for the European Championships. Pay attention to the landscape at the bottom of delights.






So that you do not experience delusions, Poles - such as vandals, like most of our fellow citizens. In the niche on the site of a broken sculpture painted face bar and the wall itself is replete with inscriptions. This is a characteristic pattern for local streets.






A small table, then chained to chairs.






The inner area is small. In the warmer months - there is a local Arbat. Many artists exhibit stands with his paintings, many peddlers. But we arrived in October. Therefore, our attention was only two points of interest that can not hide for the winter.






A huge water pump, changed into a regular cock - handle any situation that is different from the lowered water flow is.






And Warsaw Mermaid. One of the symbols of the city.






And this. Here and there. It's just a restaurant Lithuanian cuisine.







Police in Warsaw lacks. But I'm not faced with the fact that they or someone shaking tested. But who knows?. On Saturday, motayas the city, we came to the accident: a car crashed into the side of shit face another. The density of firefighters, police officers just rolls over. All in caps and helmets. Although the accident by Russian standards - the usual.






In the Indian Hindu restaurant work. Here's one out smoke. In general, Indians lacking in Warsaw. Behind us was a couple in a supermarket - Polish girl and an Indian with two kids. Everything is easy and no accent spoken in Polish.






Polish Scouts have another monument. This, incidentally, is also a symbol of the city - all are sold with this memorial statues. But me personally, he does not know.






Polish supermarkets - is primarily a French Carrefour. Carrefour here on every step. What is it? . Ashany here also there, but took the second place, situated outside the center. There are no strong local grocery retailers I have not noticed (as in Lithuania, Maxim ). But the sale of vehicles involved in the local Saturn, where I pritovaril Canon 550 lens with macro function and detail in about 28tys. rubles, including taksfri.

Trade in Warsaw, as in the other one million, are clustered around major shopping centers. The largest in Warsaw - Arcadia. It is about half to two times larger than the Acropolis klapeydskogo. In Arcadia are nearly all brands. And the friend convinces me it is not a great expert on the rags that the prices are lower, and the collection of newer. Plus, on the border can be issued taksfri that will save you approximately another 12% of the purchase.

Zhrachka at a price not significantly different. Price list of restaurants - also. At 500-700 rubles you can eat reasonably well. In 1500 two people to overeat, even in the tourist area.

But our watches (pictured) are more expensive. But we have such a clock, and is not for sale. Actually, some models cost up to 10k bucks in terms of. And 25-75 thousand. Buran - a Swiss assembly plant models Boom. Aviator - also Russian model. Outside the frame left the factory Vostok Watches (version Export). I watch the East. But the bitch is a very different model.






But the show is deployed in the foyer of Arcadia by Electronic Arts. A lot of kids competing in the networked set-top boxes for FIFA 2011. Hall enjoyed a rabid demand.

On this matter of fact, and all of the Warsaw. This city, as my friend, one day. There is a walk where and what to do. But if you kept in time, more than one day there is nothing to do. So after shopping in the evening we started in Gdansk.

Gdansk - Kaliningrad favorite place. First, just 100km from the border. Second, there is a Gallery of the Baltic - a large shopping center. And thirdly, Gdansk - Marine Old Town, where there is a lot to see.

But we came late to the Gdansk. Therefore, twiddle a little town and went home. And in the end you count city-forming enterprises, of which around the city is burning smell: Gdansk refiner, if not mistaken, factory engine oil.






It's not all clear, and the dynamics of feelings are much stronger. Plant the whole podsveschen and looks like Disneyland. But the stench from it too much.

On the way back a little bit had to wait until after all, and then stand in the very design of taksfri. 40 minutes we just stood on the Polish side. The Russian went quickly, although we slipped forward, plus the Moscow regional administration machine room - without waiting in line. But here, as we said pogranets: ' Would you have such permits, and you would have passed '. Although both smiled when asked where to get such permits.

Come home late at night. Therefore, only enough strength to crawl to bed. That's the end of the tale, and who listened - well done!.

Stories of success, without naming names


From time to time are heard questions about why I'm not talking about people who have achieved significant results in their own way in business. I guess I'm not telling you because they are still alive and can I can fight for deanonimizatsiyu. And secondly, can hardly be called a truly successful people who are uncomfortable in the shower. But the way the business is the way in business. Some people may find it interesting.

A young man from a good family nomenclature graduated high school, but the profile did not, although he could well make. But from that obtained by the profession of his sick, so he took a chief supplier of construction. Worked there for several years, where his inner calm apathy allowed him to take kickbacks. On his conscience and his soul vparivanie company of more expensive materials in no way reflected.

But as time passed, require great achievements and career builder ended. Man has accumulated its own funds, and hooked an unknown source and got the first cars. Not many, but not so little. Then gave a little advertising and has to pass vehicles in hire. Competing at the start was not so much that has allowed to accumulate their audiences and quietly survive the surge of interest in this niche of the big business that the crisis had subsided.

The crisis and the internal relaxation led to the unification of his company with a larger. And although each has its own profit and depends on the demand for cars of each of the partners, advertising costs, office - all of it is now divided in half, allowing you to safely experience the off-season.

Today, we can consider it a successful company - it feeds him and several employees, but it cuts off the opportunities for development: car rental market in small. In fact, man has reached the ceiling of its features. The last major act was the acquisition of bankrupt competitor - its fleet and brand.

Attempts to reach the niche while the other did not give. Construction, retail and services - all this did not work. So people sublimate their desires in tourist travel, knowing that probably is not above the jump. And because he does not want, and because it has already come a time when you start a sober assessment of their strength without these crazy before, but so successful jump into unknown water. And when suddenly you start thinking instead of doing - involuntarily find too many reasons why you should not be taken for this.
