Re:Music eases surgery and speeds recovery, study finds on Thursday November 27, 2025 @11:16AM (#46070635)
From the study: "The musical pieces were selected based on their slow and meditative tempo (60-100 beats per minute), and only non -lyrical instrumental piano or flute based versions were chosen.The flute version which was preferred by most patients was a combination of Raga Yaman and Raga Kirwani. Raga Yaman is bright and uplifting and Raga Kir wani is known for its soothing and calming effects. Combining these two Hindustani classical ragas provides musically uplifting qualities that could be helpful in reducing the stress associated with surgical procedures and control the hemodynamic responses to surgery. Noise cancelling headphoneswere used to play the instrumental pieces at 60db."

Looks good. Thanks for making this.

Some features that would be nice to have: - a list of the categories - the user’s index page location persists after viewing a sub-page. When I clicked a product, then went back, it starts me at the top of the main page even if I had clicked to go further down the page originally.

When I think of forgiveness, I think of Corrie Ten Boom forgiving her captor, a guard at the nazi concentration camp where her sister died.

Could the same result (plus continued transparency) come from banning political donations from any entity other than an individual citizen?

This likely happens in every sport that relies on gear, apparel, or some level of mechanical variable.

Swimming -> buoyant suits; Basketball -> Lighter, stiffer shoes; Soccer -> Cleats, Uniforms; Running -> Carbon fiber plates;

Sports that depend on some mechanical variable seem to trend toward improving/tuning that variable in whatever ways allowed by that sport (car/bike/boat racing).

>>"The Bible is re-written every 100 years to accommodate this."

This is provably false.

"It cannot be too strongly asserted that in substance the text of the Bible is certain: Especially is this the case with the New Testament, of early translations from it, and of quotations from it in the oldest writers of the Church, is so large that it is practically certain that the true reading of every doubtful passage is preserved in some one or other of these ancient authorities. This can be said of no other ancient book in the world."[1]

As an example, the New Testament is 25x more accurately copied across manuscripts than the Iliad [2].

"The variant readings about which any doubt remains among textual critics of the New Testament affect no material question of historic fact or of Christian faith and practice."[3]
