  4. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Industrial_and_organizational_psychology http://www.sjsu.edu/psych/GraduatePrograms/industrialpsych/index.htm http://www.socialpsychology.org/io.htm I have about a year left for a BS in Psychology and was contemplating in getting a MSW (Masters in Social Work), but it seems that MS in IO, might be more suitable for me. Any thoughts, opinions, experiences you heard about IO, would be great! Thank You, Leon

  8. New research suggests that early humans mated with both Neanderthals as well as Denisovans, a recently-discovered early human species. Genomes from Denisovans, a third early human species, were originally traced to the people of Oceania, but further investigation reveals that genomes can also be found among East Asia populations, the Telegraph reports. LiveScience explains the relation: The Denisovans likely split off from the Neanderthal branch of the hominin family tree about 300,000 years ago, but little else is known about their appearance, behavior or dress. Researchers also have found "genetic echoes of the Denisovans in modern residents of Pacific islands." National Geographic writes that according to the study, "About one percent of the genetic makeup of people from southern China and the surrounding region comes from ... Denisovans." http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/11/02/humans-mated-with-denisovan_n_1070221.html
  9. A teacher of mine once told me this story: There once was a young monk who was preparing for a pilgrimage to a distant shrine at the top of a mountain. His master asked to examine his pack. So the student opens his bag and his master starts digging around muttering to himself "I don't see it... where is it?" "What are you looking for, Master?" "Your Enlightenment." "Master, that is why I am going to the shrine." "The only Enlightenment you find at the top of the mountain is the Enlightenment you brought with you."
  10. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_Arthur_Ray Wow, I didn't know that three people died, due to his spiritual seminar workshop. Thoughts? New Age or these Gurus, where many individuals are dying. Scary stuff.
  11. At the start of this year, it seemed as if Facebook wanted to utilize its identity infrastructure already on millions of websites in order to issue your Internet driver's license. Apparently that wasn't aiming quite high enough, since it now appears as if Facebook has future plans to issue your offline identity cards as well. Facebook filed for a trademark for "goods and services" to use Facebook on "cards, namely business cards and non-magnetically encoded identity cards" that could be read by NFC and RFID-enabled devices. If that didn't make you shiver, then the new trademark application states, the "business card and identity card design services" and "printing services" would be for "facilitating social and business networking through the provision of data for use on business and identity cards." Like Google Plus, Facebook regards pseudonyms as a sin and wants to kill off anonymity. Many sites have cut back on comment spam, though, by requiring Facebook Connect which in turn requires a user's real identity. Countless millions of websites have avoided the headaches and hassles of managing their own identity system by implementing the free and easy code for Facebook Connect to manage online identities. In fact, logging in, "liking" and sharing via Facebook has literally become a critical part of the Internet's identity infrastructure. Another emerging potential giant gamer-changer is the ability for people to use their mobile devices with near field communication (NFC) technology to interact with everyday situations, objects and people. NFC can be used to exchange data between two devices that are close to each other. The Google Wallet app is expected to be huge since it will store virtual copies of your credit cards for easy and fast payment at checkout. Other eCommerce NFC apps could be used for boarding passes or for purchasing airline, movie, concert, or other event tickets. On the social networking side, NFC allows for fast file sharing, to pass out electronic business cards, to enter a multiplayer mobile game, or to "touch NFC devices together to Facebook friend each other." Why wouldn't Facebook want to take advantage of its "identity management" to conquer the offline world as well? The filed trademark suggests the Facebook ID cards could work with NFC and RFID. "Smart tap" RFID and magstripe products "have been used in many different fields, such as finance, telecommunications, security, tax, parking, hospitals, retail and hotels." Even Windows 8 will include built-in NFC functionality, sending hardware and software firms scrambling to take advantage of the tap-to-share NFC RFID functionality. http://www.networkworld.com/community/node/78955
  12. Much respect and light on your end! I was close to being homeless myself, but found a way out. I am sure it will all work out! Stay strong and positive as you are now! Much peace and love!
  13. How do you guys do it?!?!?!?!

    We all have been through hardships and some of us are still going through them. You are still young; therefore, school is necessary for your cultivation. In this life, we need to do things we don't like doing, it's fine, as it teaches you to cultivate around something you disagree with, which in reality is a challenge and the best way to test your skills and yourself. While it might not bring gratification at this moment, it might in the next and the next. Keep your head up and keep grinding. Do not walk away, run away, stumble away, or ignore it, as it will find you. Put up with it and move on. See how you can approach it with a clear mind; perhaps, meditating on this situation would be beneficial. Nevertheless, right now, you are giving up on your growth/evolution. Keep moving forward and it will get easier. - Leon
