The importance of paper letters to strangers

Hannah spoke on Ted Talk about her experiences around written paper letters when she was 22. Therefore, because of her mother's imposition to communicate with her via phone or e-mail, like the rest of her colleagues. Although the means of communication have evolved as technology has evolved.

When Hanna joined the university, she was receiving paper letters from her parents via the mailbox not periodically. Which made her feel frustrated because of her inability to communicate with her family continuously over the phone. Even after Hannah moved to New York after her college career, she was feeling frustrated by the same thing. This led her to write paper letters similar to the letters that she received from her mother, but that Hanna wrote to strangers. Hana distributed these messages in cafes, government buildings, mailboxes and libraries, until she received reactions in her inbox from people who needed messages like these.

This act made Hanna give herself a promise on the Internet which is "if you asked me for a hand-written letter, I would write you one, no questions asked." Hannah’s paper trips to mailboxes of strangers became a major source and reason for inspiring a global organization, which developed the idea by introducing it to social media. Hana's mailbox has become an outlet for strangers who are most in need of such letters. Hana was receiving letters from strangers writing To other strangers it is not for meeting in reality, but because they found someone able to understand them.

Most of the paper letters Hannah received turned into love letters. These letters originated from strangers who did not expect that they would fall in love with each other because of ink on a piece of paper, but it happened. They are not from an old generation, but rather from a generation that is saturated with technology.

Hana carried her mailbox with her wherever she went, which contained various letters and stories from strangers. For example, the woman who hid the love letters of her husband, returning from Afghanistan, around the house because she was looking for a dialogue with him. In addition to that college girl who hid paper letters on campus, only to wake up the next day and find that her work has spread among students who spread love letters on trees and wooden benches.

The stories Hannah was receiving made her believe that paper letters are a form of art with all that it contains. Such as the writing method, the style of correspondence, the art of signing, the drawings in the margins, and the idea of ​​installing all the person's interest in writing a message to the desired person. On the other hand, it is difficult for a person to give all his attention to another person in e-mails, and this is due to the phone being crowded with messages, notifications, and calls. Where a person is not able to reveal his feelings as he wants, because he wants to respond to everyone quickly. This confirms that paper messages carry all forms of art, unlike electronic messages.

The evolution of football until 1872: Look at these illustrations to find out how football developed.

The beginning and development of football

Football as we know it today originated in the mid-nineteenth century in England. However, other forms of football have been around before that. This is part of the history of football development, where it was practiced with the aim of an exercise or as an opportunity to direct grievances.

The first known ball game occurred in the 3rd and 2nd centuries BC in China. There was a military exercise called "Tsu shu", in which a ball filled with feathers and hair was used. But football was developed in England in the twelfth century. Soon, football became increasingly popular in England, where it was played on the highways and elsewhere. Because of that, King Edward III of England became concerned that football would distract people from practicing archery, so banned football at that time.

However, football has returned and its popularity has increased dramatically. The working class played football to channel their grievances and communicate with people like themselves. At that time there were no referees and limited rules, so the stadium was often violent.

In 1848 a meeting was set up in Cambridge that set the rules for goal kicks, throwing and goalkeeper rights. As this step was a prelude to the path of the rise of football clubs and international and national matches and tournaments. The British were effective in spreading the game. The first match outside Europe was played in 1867 in Argentina, under the leadership of the English.

Football was only intended for men, but since the late nineteenth century women have participated in the game. Women's football continued to grow in Britain and abroad. Some of England's big clubs had a women's team as well as the male team. Football has also become a major language of communication, as many issues such as violence against women and racism are supported in it, where the 2010 World Cup in South Africa was an important moment for a country that until 1994 was under apartheid. And now it is one of the most popular and marketable sports. It plays in 200 different countries at the moment.

The positive benefits of exercise on the brain

His neuroscientist Wendy Suzuki spoke on the Ted Talk in 2017 about the great positive effect of exercise on the brain. She also talked about her experience in it. would this experiment successful in a positive way?

The brain is the most complex structure in humans, as it consists of two main regions. One of them is called the prefrontal cortex, which is responsible for personality, attention, focus and decision-making. The other one is called the hippocampus, which is responsible for retaining memories for a possibly long period, and for forming new events.

Exercise brings positive changes to the human brain, as it improves mood, stimulates focus, and protects against diseases such as Alzheimer's disease, insanity and depression. Suzuki discovered this when she was under pressure for several years as a neuroscientist, as she did not have a social and movement life at all, so she went on a rowing trip and discovered that she was of a weak structure and unable to rowing, so she promised herself "I'm never going to feel like the weakest person on a river-rafting trip again." So she decided to go to the gym to improve her physique, strength and also to lose weight. After her efforts at the gym, Suzuki felt her mood improved and her energy boosted.

Suzuki followed an exercise program in her life regularly, and noted the results of these exercises when she was awarded a grant. The grant went well unusually for scientists, and it was evident that her focus and attention became longer than before and her long-term memory that she was studying in her lab became better. Suzuki sensed that she was experimenting with the "benefits of exercise on the brain" on herself without even knowing it. This prompted her to change her research to focus on the effect of exercise on the brain. And she researched until that I found that exercise is the most likely thing to bring about positive change in the brain.

Suzuki has three reasons for improving the brain due to exercise. The first reason revolves around the immediate effect on the human brain, which improves mood and increases focus instantly. But changing the exercise regimen permanently renews brain cells and improves brain capacity, in addition to the long-term benefits of exercise on cardiovascular and respiratory functions. The second reason is the long-term effect of exercise on improving mood-enhancing neurotransmitters and on the attention process. The third reason explains the effect of exercise in strengthening the hippocampus and the prefrontal cortex in the brain. As these two areas are the most vulnerable to neurological setbacks that cause dementia and Alzheimer's disease, but constant exercise works to delay them as much as possible.

To make positive changes to the brain, a person does not need to be a hero. In fact, he needs to at least do half-hour exercises on three days of the week. It is not necessary that the exercises be difficult and exhausting, but a person can suffice with walking and climbing stairs to bring about positive change.
