Suicide bombing

leading expert on terrorism mia bloom

who becomes a terrorist and why…

Her book dying to kill

terrorists are more likely to talk women because they don't take them seriously

first person trialed terrorism is: ursa zulich. "I'm not a murderer I'm a terrorist"

she was very proud of being a terrorist

we know a few women on front line

some terrorist organisations include gender equality in some of the policies, therefore this attracts women. 

Mia says that women choose to be a terrorist, to help their societies, not to actually kill people. Someone who wants to die would not be chosen to be suicide bomber. The person to be chosen would have to have positive traits.. When you read the old Testament when they talk about sacrafice in Jerusalem, they don't sacrifice runt of the litter they kill the fat calf . Terrorist groups don't want crazy people as they wouldn't be out of perform under pressure. Mia  says they that they want to attractive women. Attractive women will get more press, and people will be out to look at her relate to her, and think she's got a lot going for herself. They also select people with university degrees, people that can speak multiple languages, because they don't want these missions to fail. 

The choose Western looking people to be terrorists for example female convert of the Islamic faith are being chosen to set off a bombs, this is because they create create more media and the easier for them to get through the airport security, and she's also the perfect role model for other women to join the terrorist group. Islamic man of raping women to push them into suicide bombing, when a woman is raped in the culture, she is rejected by her family, and sometimes even killed by them. The Israeli men then persuade them to become a suicide bomber by telling them that they might choose to  die for a reason. 

The young people that became martyrs, even as young as 15, were portraid as heros, their pictures put on on lunchboxes, and school bags, which is saying to the generation that grew up with the merchandise that suicide bombing is an acceptable thing to do

children in islamic schools are being trained to become suicide bombers. palistinian and hamas tv have a suicide bombing micky mouse. And even bunnys that persuade children from a very young age that they want to grow up to be a suicide bomber. in iraq and afgahnistan they are plainy just forced into it. Some children are persuaded to press the button, and they have no idea what the button does.

Another reason why such a good reason to use kids is because the military don't have any rules on on the spot killing. Military personnel also have children so they find it really hard to kill children which is a reason why terrorist use them.

The wife of the terrorist is more likely to become a terrorist bomber at the IRA will trust them because the husband is already involved.

So im going to parcel tape some body parts together and go do some activities. So far as activities go iv only thought of running so far.

Ankles to hip
Wrist to knee
Folded arms
Hands to head
Hands to shoulders
Arms behind backs

All activities will be taken out on soft terrain and with accompanied use of the sports bra. Praise the lord.

Photographed? Film? Parcel tape might take in interesting shapes after activity.

Could get some friends to join in. Run for disability awareness?

Smell and Memory

A smell can bring on a flood of memories, influence people's moods and even affect their work performance. Because the olfactory bulb is part of the brain'slimbic system, an area so closely associated with memory and feeling it's sometimes called the "emotional brain," smell can call up memories and powerful responses almost instantaneously.

The olfactory bulb has intimate access to the amygdala, which processes emotion, and thehippocampus, which is responsible for associative learning. Despite the tight wiring, however, smells would not trigger memories if it weren't for conditioned responses. When you first smell a new scent, you link it to an event, a person, a thing or even a moment. Your brain forges a link between the smell and a memory -- associating the smell of chlorine with summers at the pool or lilies with a funeral. When you encounter the smell again, the link is already there, ready to elicit a memory or a mood. Chlorine might call up a specific pool-related memory or simply make you feel content. Lilies might agitate you without your knowing why. This is part of the reason why not everyone likes the same smells.

Because we encounter most new odors in our youth, smells often call up childhood memories. But we actually begin making associations between smell and emotion before we're even born. Infants who were exposed to alcohol, cigarette smoke or garlic in the womb show a preference for the smells. To them, the smells that might upset other babies seem normal or even comforting.

In the next section, we'll find out how some people use smell's ability to trigger memory.

Scent Marketing

Advertisers are eager to cash in on the close link between smell, memory and mood. Real estate agents have long used scent marketing as a way of putting clients at ease. Sellers set fresh pie or cookies on countertops to make a house seem comfy and livable. But because there's a limit to how many pies one agent can bake, companies that sell aroma-marketing systems are stepping up. Housing developments, hotels, stores and even car manufacturers are turning to customized scents to help set a mood and maybe even make an impression.

Scent marketing is the latest trick to stand out from the visual and auditory barrage that dominates advertising. These scents, however, are a far cry from the strong smells of incense and patchouli at the bead store. They're subtle and almost imperceptible to the unwitting sniffer. Developers use carefully tuned scents to lure customers into a sense of well-being. Stores that sell shoes or shirts, items ideally not associated with odor, formulate aromas of ivy or crisp linen. Some companies even strive to develop a "brand scent," something that customers will associate with the company as much as a logo.

Nostalgic smells

Nearly everyone has experienced a moment when a faint fragrance brings a memory of a long-lost moment in time crashing back to the forefront of their minds.

Often we will have forgotten about the event completely, yet it transpires our unfathomable minds have filed it neatly in some unreachable corner of the brain, primed for instant retrieval.

Pungent memories

It may be the perfume worn by a long-forgotten friend, the stench of petrol from a youth spent worshipping motorcycles or the haze of chlorine from summer months lazing by the pool.

It is amazing that a few simple airborne molecules can trigger such vivid recollections.

Dr Alan Hirsch is a US neurologist who specialises in the treatment of people who lose their sense of smell or taste.

Total recall

But at the Smell and Taste Treatment and Research Foundation, which Hirsch runs, he is carrying out research into immediate recall of childhood memories by a particular odour, a phenomenon he refers to as olfactory-evoked recall.

Hirsch believes that the details evoked by nostalgic smells are not as important as the emotions they recall. But our minds reshape these memories, sending them through a rose-tinted filter that redefines them as "good times".

Experiences that may have seemed bad at the time can be reconstructed in our minds to seem better than they were, because they represent periods in our life that are now gone forever.

Idealised childhood

Childhood memories, for example, represent times when we were free from the responsibilities and anxieties of adulthood, so we may redefine them in an idealised way, even though many of the experiences we went through were difficult at the time.

In order to study the different odours that evoked nostalgia amongst the public, Hirsch and his staff canvassed around 1,000 people on the streets of Chicago and asked them which smells stimulated a childhood memory.

Baked cakes

The results were interesting. Baked foods such as cakes and baking bread made up the largest category of nostalgic smells. Other cooking smells such as bacon, meatballs and spaghetti were the second largest category of reported smells.

But people born before 1930 tend to recall the odours associated with nature more than people born in later decades. This may reflect increasing urbanisation after the 30s.

Brain wiring

What is not in doubt is that smell is a powerful sense. The olfactory system, the apparatus responsible for our sense of smell, has a pathway in the brain closely associated with the limbic system. The limbic system contains the amygdala and the hippocampus parts of the brain which are closely associated with emotion and memory respectively.

Human beings tend to emphasise vision over all other senses, but our sense of smell is important enough to evoke its own form of déjà vu. Perhaps the foul and strange smells we experience today will be associated with fond memories in years to come.

I need to start doing research on smell mapping and memory. Yeah.

Today

So i've been doing illustrator work. But i don't really know why important doing it. Although i enjoy it i don't think its actually going anywhere ???????? Eh
