  The Mind
For example, the mind and the spirit of man are cognizant of the conditions and states of the members and component parts of the body, and are aware of all the physical sensations; in the same way, they are aware of their power, of their feelings, and of their spiritual conditions.
Mind is the perfection of the spirit and is its essential quality, as the sun's rays are the essential necessity of the sun.
To whatever heights the mind of the most exalted of men may soar, however great the depths which the detached and understanding heart can penetrate, such mind and heart can never transcend that which is the creature of their own conceptions and the product of their own thoughts.

Finally, 54 percent believe that the extinction of plant and animal life in the oceans is caused mainly by humans, rather than, as is the case, by a combination of human and natural causes.
When asked to choose the main source of ocean pollution among three sources, only 14 percent of Americans selected the correct answer, "runoff from yards, pavement, and farms." Most (66 percent) chose "waste dumped by industry," and 16 percent believe most pollution is from trash and litter washed into the oceans from beaches.
When asked about the health of the open, deep oceans and of coastal waters and beaches, close to half the public (46 percent) reported that they did not know enough about the open oceans to give an opinion, and slightly more than a quarter (27 percent) said so for coastal waters.

 Detailed Reviews [Millo, Mario - 2002 - "Oceans of the Mind"] - ProgressoR
All tracks that are featured on the "Oceans of the Mind" album were employed in a unified stylistic concept, the general definition of which would be a blend of Classic Symphonic Progressive and (simply) Symphonic Rock.
"Oceans of the Mind" is in many ways a unique album.
While all we know that, accordingly to the ridiculous (yet existing!) rules of musical mainstream and its audience, the presence of at least only one hit-single on the album makes it a blockbuster (as a whole).

 Cadmium in Oceans
Keeping this in mind, the oceans might be an important reservoir of novel genomic material because of the unusual chemistry of the surface oceans.
Trace elements are extremely scarce in the ocean and major regions of the surface oceans, for instance, are known to be limited by iron, rather than by nitrogen or phosphorus as in lakes and coastal waters.
The phytoplankton ecology of the oceans is likely influenced by the relative abundance of these very scarce metals, particularly cadmium, zinc, and cobalt - all of which have been shown to substitute for some of the same biochemical functions.

 MTS/IEEE Oceans Conference 2005 - Washington, D.C. - September 19-23
Please bear in mind it is not intended to be the end-all of all documents (we are neither that bold nor naïve), but rather to enhance and support the many important efforts that are in progress.
The “One Ocean” theme was chosen for this conference to recognize that our global ocean is not only in peril because of the direct actions of mankind, but it is also more tightly interwoven with the current state and future of our global society than most people even realize.
Ocean issues of national security and terrorism, global commerce and transportation, food resources, jobs, mineral resources, discovery of new medicines, climate change, coastal stresses from population migrations, and many other challenges directly impact our day-to-day lives and the future for our children.

The human mind is said to be naturally associative, not linear.
For example, if both of you have drawn a mini mind map (a mini map has one level depth, i.eonly two words related to the central idea) with only six words, studies shown that the probability of the two words being common between the two cards is one.
Minds maps are now sold as computer software, an indicator to how prevalent it will be in the near future.

 The Oceans by McGraw-Hill Companies
Recently named a "Hero of the Planet" by Time magazine, Sylvia Earle now comes together with her friend and under-the-sea colleague, Ellen Prager, to provide readers with an in-depth exploration and study of aqua-science, or what is happening under the surface of the seas.
The Oceans explains how the study of oceans is more than just oceanography--it is an intertwined science that must deal with everything from plate tectonics to climate to air pressure to wildlife biology to paleontology, among other scientific disciplines.
Prager and Earle offer readers an exciting, yet authoritative, exploration of the oceans from their origins (including how fossil records are used to determine how life in the sea and the sea itself has evolved over the eons) to the complicated issues surrounding the harvesting of energy and food from depleted ocean sources.

 the gaian mind
It's had 5- or 6-billion years to create a slow moving mind which is made of oceans and rivers and rain forests and glaciers.
What the psychedelic experience really is, is opening the doorway into a lost continent of the human mind, a continent that we have almost lost all connection to, and the nature of this lost world of the human mind is that it is a Gaian entelechy.
It's in the water, it's in the ground, it's in the vegetation, it's in the atmosphere we breath, and our unhappiness, our discomfort, arises from the fact that we have fallen into history and history is a state of benighted ignorance concerning the real facts of how the world works.

 Europan Type
Never mind that these worlds are formed from a large proportion of ice, and that they are found in the cold regions of a solar system.
However, life is unlikely in these regions, for the degree of tidal heating is not likely to create significant thermal regions at the border between the bottom of the ice layer, and the top of the rocky mantel.
In some cases, if the crust is thin enough, the ocean may occasionally become exposed to space, although a thin and sealing crust of ice is quick to form.

Establishing a global network of marine parks is critical to restoring the health of the oceans and keeping fisheries operating so that we can enjoy seafood (while cultivating the health of the oceans).
Its ability to navigate the ocean, to return to its natal stream, to leap over seemingly impassable obstacles, and to detect through its olfactory senses the very gravel of its origin, has amazed and inspired humans for thousands of years.
However, with more and more pressure on the world's dwindling fisheries and vulnerable ocean habitat, there is an urgent need to create additional MPAs to conserve fish and other marine life for future generations.
