There's a vampire on the loose...apparently
Hey there! Hope it's a good day for you. Fill your mug and latch onto a virtual doughnut, why don't'cha? Say...do you believe in vampires...
"Twilight" not withstanding? Well, whether you believe in them or not...others do...
Locals in the Bajina Basta municipality, western Serbia, are freaking
out after the local council has issued a warning about the famous
vampire Sava Savanovic being on the loose and thirsty for blood.
Sava Savanovic is a popular figure of Serbian folklore, known as the
first vampire in Serbia. According to legend, he lived in an old
watermill on the nearby Rogačica river, where he killed and drank the
blood of peasants who came to mill their grains.
Scary stories like this
are not uncommon, but the people of Zarozje village, where the mill is
located, actually believe their local vampire is real. They had no
problem living near it, as Savanovic hasn’t hurt any of them for
centuries, but now that his home has collapsed, they fear he may take
revenge on them. "People are worried, everybody knows the legend of this
vampire and the thought that he is now homeless and looking for
somewhere else and possibly other victims is terrifying people. We are
all frightened," mayor Miodrag Vujetic told the press.
Hey, not to worry, eh. Just keep that garland of fresh garlic around your neck and you'll be fine!
See ya, eh!

Brain
scientists in recent years have discovered a number of surprising ways
that the brain influences our overall health, as well as how our
behavior influences the health of our brain. And unlike in the days of
old — when scientists believed the brain was “fixed” after childhood,
only to start an inexorable decline in the middle to later years —
today, research is showing that the brain is perfectly capable of
changing, healing and “rewiring” itself to an unexpected degree.
It turns out that the age of your brain may be a lesser influence on its structure than what you
do
with it. Pursuits that require intense mental focus, like language
learning, “switch on” the nucleus basalis, the control mechanism for
neuroplasticity.
In short, neuroplasticity means you have some control over your
cranial fitness. While brain function naturally deteriorates somewhat as
you age (though not nearly as much as you might think), various
strategic approaches can create new neural pathways and strengthen
existing ones as long as you live. What’s more, these efforts to build a
better brain can deliver lasting rewards for your overall health.
Here are just a few of neuroscience’s most empowering recent discoveries.
