MIRROR THERAPY I read with great pleasure “Reflections on the Mind,” by Vilayanur S. Ramachandran and Diane Rogers-Ramachandran [Illusions]. These experiments involving the senses are indeed fascinating. Similar experiments were first done by a well-known behavioral optometrist, Robert A. Kraskin, more than 40 years ago in Washington, D.C. He used the techniques in diagnosis and for vision rehabilitation—including for Luci Baines Johnson while her father was in office. He called his regimen of eye exercises “squinchel” and taught it to many optometrists and vision therapists nationwide at various professional meetings and workshops. As a member of the advisory board of the Neuro-Optometric Rehabilitation Association, I thank you for bringing this useful and interesting phenomenon back into public awareness. Diana P.

The Open Window "My aunt will be down presently, Mr. Nuttel," said a very self-possessed young lady of fifteen; "in the meantime you must try and put up with me." Framton Nuttel endeavored to say the correct something which should duly flatter the niece of the moment without unduly discounting the aunt that was to come. Privately he doubted more than ever whether these formal visits on a succession of total strangers would do much towards helping the nerve cure which he was supposed to be undergoing
"I know how it will be," his sister had said when he was preparing to migrate to this rural retreat; "you will bury yourself down there and not speak to a living soul, and your nerves will be worse than ever from moping. I shall just give you letters of introduction to all the people I know there. Some of them, as far as I can remember, were quite nice."
Framton wondered whether Mrs. Sappleton, t

المقالة الاولى حول الاخلاق : إذا كان الانسان من حيث هو كائن عاقل ، هل يمكن عندئذ القول ان اساس القيمة الاخلاقية هو العقل ؟جدلية I - طرح المشكلة : تعد مشكلة أساس القيمة الخلقية من أقدم المشكلات في الفلسفة الاخلاقية وأكثرها إثارة للجدل ؛ إذ تباينت حولها الاراء واختلفت المواقف ، ومن تلك المواقف الموقف العقلي الذي فسر أساس القيمة الاخلاقية بإرجاعها الى العقل ؛ فهل فعلا يمكن تأسيس القيم الاخلاقية على العقل وحده ؟ II – محاولة حل المشكلة : 1- أ – عرض الاطروحة : يرى البعض ، أن مايميز الانسان – عن الكائنات الاخرى - هو العقل ، لذلك فهو المقياس الذي نحكم به على الاشياء وعلى سلوكنا وعلى القيم جميعا ، أي أن أساس الحكم على الافعال و السلوكات وإضفاء طابع اخلاقي عليها هو العقل ، وعليه أٌعتبر المصدر لكل قيمة خلقية . وقد دافع عن هذا الرأي أفلاطون قديما والمعتزلة في العصر الاسلامي وكانط في العصر الحديث . 1- ب – الحجة : ويؤكد ذلك أن ( أفلاطون 428 ق م – 347 ق م ) قسم أفعال الناس تبعا لتقسيم المجتمع ، فإذا كان المجتمع ينقسم ا

Once upon a time, there was an island where all the feelings lived: Happiness, Sadness, Knowledge, and all of the others, including Love. One day it was announced to the feelings that the island would sink, so all constructed boats and left. Except for Love.
Love was the only one who stayed. Love wanted to hold out until the last possible moment.
When the island had almost sunk, Love decided to ask for help.
Richness was passing by Love in a grand boat. Love said, "Richness, can you take me with you?" Richness answered, "No, I can't. There is a lot of gold and silver in my boat. There is no place here for you."
Love decided to ask Vanity who was also passing by in a beautiful vessel. "Vanity, please help me!" "I can't help you, Love. You are all wet and might damage my boat," Vanity answered.
Sadness was close by so Love asked, "Sadness, let me
