Hindu temple constructed by Muslim craftsmen

Boundaries of religion or caste simply don't exist for 24 Muslim artisans in India, especially when it comes to building a temple for Hindus. Six years ago, a Non-Resident Hindu family showed their faith in these Muslim artisans and gave them a contract to build a Hindu temple. The beautiful white marble temple is now ready, where everything has been taken care of with utmost dexterity and precision by these artisans of opposite faith, reflecting communal harmony at its best. Naimuddeen, one of the Muslim artisans said, “there is no such feeling of difference in our heart. It doesn't matter if one is Hindu or Muslim. We all are human first. We are brothers. We don't believe that there is a difference between a mosque and a temple."

Exercise Builds Brain Cells

It's been well-known that exercise boosts brainpower but recent researchers in the U.S have discovered how. New brain cells are made in the region of the brain that is linked to just how good a person's memory is. For most humans, a region in the brain begins to decline at around the age of 30. Exercise increased blood flow to that specific region and the person's level of fitness correlated to the amount of blood flow.

Dr. Scott Small, a neurologist at Columbia University Medical Center said, "Our next step is to identify the exercise regimen that is most beneficial to improve cognition and reduce normal memory loss, so that physicians may be able to prescribe specific types of exercise to improve memory."

* Cognition 인식, 인식력, 인지..
