Response to: Excerpt Writings from the Correspondence of Descartes and Elisabeth (2) After reading the excerpt, the question that ran through my mind was how having peace in one’s soul and mind can help cure of slow fever. This is what Descartes recommends for the queen after he learned that she has been sick for some time, and the doctors were not finding solutions. In answering this question, I think I will have to support the ideas of Descartes because I have had a similar experience some time back. There was a time I was suffering from frequent headaches, and as much as I took medications, the problem kept coming back. I decide to seek help from a psychologist, and he advised me to avoid stressing and overthinking.

Importance of Mindfulness to A student “Mindfulness isn’t difficult, and we just have to remember to do it”. The words of Sharon Saltzberg are a true reflection of the importance of mindfulness in the lives of human beings. In simple terms, mindfulness is the state at which a person is fully aware of what is happening at a particular time, the place where he or she is and above all, be in a position to accommodate the events since it is something that he or she is aware of. The present state of mind is an essential aspect of understanding a person.

Despite the confusion concerning the need of mindfulness by different groups, mindfulness in students is essential because it helps in restoring…
Investigative Plan for Daytime Robbery Attacks The goal of establishing this investigative plan is to identify why the multiple robbery attacks happen and to take a practical response strategy to reduce risks for future attacks. While previous attacks may have occurred without resulting to serious effects, high risks that might have been caused will be investigated alongside the incidents that really caused the loss. Because the investigation process will involve a progression of activities, this plan will move from tasks of gathering evidence to the analysis of information, to the development of theory and validation, to forming reasonable grounds for belief and then recommending strategies for actions to charging suspects (Plecas, 2019). Planning this investigation will enable a systematic and complete inquiry, highlight the required resources, the persons/departments to be involved, the duration of the inquiry, whether the investigation would need a single investigator or a team (Shipley, 2014). Defining the case scenarios that have been the target for robbery attacks. The aim is to understand the risks of daytime robbery attacks to operational businesses and general economic activities in…

hyperthymestic syndrome known as the hyperthymestic syndrome, hyperthymesia is a condition in which people have a superior autobiographical memory. This means that these people can recall a majority of their personal experiences very easily. These individuals can remember almost all of their everyday experiences in detail and also public events that hold a particular significance to them. Researchers have distinguished people with hyperthymesia and those with other forms of exceptional memory. Memories remembered by hyperthymesia individuals are usually personal with autobiographical accounts of significance in their lives. These memories are not derived from the use of mnemonic strategies; they are stored involuntarily and automatically retrieved. Apart from remembering the day of the week and the specific dates, these people are not calculators like people with autism or savant syndrome. Instead, hyperthymesia condition allows the memories of the individuals to stick with them for a lifetime, and it’s believed to be an unconscious process of the brain. According to Aurora K R Leport, Shauna M Stark, James L McGaugh, and Craig E L Stark, people with a highly superior autographic memory…
