“Artificial flight may be defined as that form of aviation in which a man flies at will in any direction by means of an apparatus attached to his body, the use of which requires personal skill. Artificial flight by a single individual is the proper beginning for all species of artificial flight, as the necessary conditions can most easily be fulfilled when man flies individually.” MenMayMeanUseBodyFormIndividualConditionsSkillsSpeciesFlightDefinedAviationArtificialFulfilled Author:Otto Lilienthal

“There are estimates that we daily walked for 10 - 20 kilometers for hundreds of thousands of years. The world's best problem solving machinery grew up under conditions of consistent, strenuous physical activity. It makes sense that when we don't recreate the environments in which the organ was forged, we get a loss of function. And that when we do restore those environments, we get that function back. The effects of aerobic exercise on executive function skills is a powerful empirical example of this idea.” WorldYearsIdeasProblemLossPowerfulEnvironmentConditionsEffectsExampleGrewExerciseActivitySkillsGrew UpFunctionMake SenseConsistentExecutivesOrgansProblem SolvingMachineryForgedPhysical Activity Author:John Medina
“The term syndrome generally appears to be a constellation, or collection, of similar traits or behaviors within an individual. So, savants do have sort of a constellation of symptoms, which is characterized by some spectacular skill, or skills, coupled with this massive memory which is grafted on to some underlying disability. So those three conditions quantify, in my mind, the term syndrome.” MindThreeIndividualTermMemoriesConditionsSkillsBehaviorCollectionsMassiveDisabilityTraitsSymptomsSpectacularConstellationsSyndromesSavants Author:Darold Treffert
