1.When we don’t sleep
2. Not only for humans
3. How dreaming helps
4. When we dream
5. Why dreams can be scary
6. What we feel dreaming
7. How we forget dreams
8. How we remember dreams
A. Even though our dreams may feel like they last for hours and hours, we hardly spend more than two hours dreaming each night, which means a person spends a total of nearly six years dreaming throughout a lifetime. In general there are four phases of the sleep cycle and all dreaming occurs practically at the final phase. Each of these sleep cycles lasts approximately 60 to 90 minutes and may repeat several times throughout the night.
B. Anxiety is the most popular emotion experienced in dreams. Many people dream of falling, which is often connected to something in our lives that is going in the wrong direction. In addition, dreams of being chased are very common and are linked to avoidance. Also people report dreams about their teeth falling out, which is related to the words and communication we might have in real life.
C. Dreaming helps people make sense of the information and events that occur in their lives. Dreams play an important role in processing and remembering information that we absorb daily. Also, they help reduce stress and even solve problems. It’s very possible to work through real-life problems while dreaming at night. In addition, dreams provide a lot of important content and meaning that can be used to inspire and direct our lives during the day.
D. Nearly 5 to 10% of adults have nightmares. There are several reasons for it, for example when people start taking certain medications or when they withdraw from drugs. Some physical conditions, such as stress or illness, can also be a trigger. However, in some cases adults may have frequent nightmares that are unrelated to their everyday lives, which may signify that they are more creative, sensitive, and emotional than the average person.
E. There is no person who does not have dreams, but not everybody recalls them. The most vivid dreams happen during the Rapid Eye Movement sleep stage when the brain is extremely active and the eyes move back and forth quickly underneath the eyelids. Although dream recall varies from person to person, some people have little or no recollection of the content, and around 90% of dreams are gone following the first 10 minutes of waking up.
F. Scientists have found that animals also dream and their subconscious thoughts are connected to real experiences. Animals’ dreams are complex, containing long sequences of events. Animals’ brains share the same series of sleeping states as the brain of human beings. Analyzing animals’ dreams and the content of their dreams may help scientists treat memory disorders and develop new ways for people to learn and retain information more effectively.
G. Only five minutes after the end of a dream and half of the content is likely to vanish from our memories. It’s not that dreams aren’t important enough to keep in mind, but other things tend to get in the way. Dream researcher L. Strumpell believes that dreams disappear from our memories for a number of factors. For example, we may not recall dream images that lack intensity, association or repetition, which are usually needed for dream recall.

Doctor Who
Doctor Who is a British science-fiction TV series that follows the adventures of a time-traveling alien called the Doctor, and his human companion, as they travel through time and space in a spaceship, called the TARDIS (Time and Relative Dimension in Space), and courageously save the world time and time again.
Doctor Who first aired on BBC on 23 November 1963 and was one of the first science-fiction stories to appear on the screen: 3 years before Star Trek and 14 years before the Star Wars franchise. In 1989, due to falling popularity, the show was suspended. But 16 years later, in 2005, it was brought back to the screen with a whole new cast of actors and has been ongoing ever since. It is considered to be the longest-running sci-fi show in the world, having celebrated its 50th anniversary in 2013.
But how has Doctor Who managed to survive for this long? What sets it apart from other amazing shows that are now over? What makes Doctor Who really unique, is that it does not have to rely on any particular actor to continue. When the Doctor is close to death, he is able to start a biological process within himself, called regeneration, that changes every single cell in his body, while still leaving his mind intact. Essentially, he becomes a different person: new looks, new personality, new everything. But one thing that never changes is his genius and his sense of humor. This means, that every four years or so, when the actors playing the Doctor decide to move on to different projects and leave the show, the producers can find a new actor to take on the iconic role. So far twelve actors have played the Doctor.
Another reason the show has been running for so long is that there is no main storyline, it is very much episodic, each episode telling a story of a separate adventure. So as long as the writers of the show keep coming up with new planets for the Doctor and his companion to visit, and new alien villains for them to defeat, the show can continue forever.
Doctor Who has an unbelievably huge fan base all over the world, so big in fact, that the 50th-anniversary episode aired in 94 countries simultaneously, earning it a Guinness World Record. There is also a large amount of music, inspired by Doctor Who, and since the series’s renewal, a music genre called Trock (Time Lord Rock) has appeared. The most famous Trock band is Chameleon Circuit. They produce music exclusively about Doctor Who, and so far have released two albums.
Soon after Doctor Who’s appearance in 1963, novels surrounding the series started to appear. The first-ever novelization came out on 12 November, 1964, almost exactly a year after the first episode came out. Since then over 150 novelizations and 200 spin-off books have been published, including some written by Neil Gaiman.
Doctor Who has been an important part of popular culture for over half a century now. The show is limitless, filled with possibility: you can go to Victorian London, or to Pompeii, or to the 51st century. It can be any genre: comedy, horror, fantasy, drama, sometimes all of them at the same time. It’s clever, and funny, and sad, and makes you think. The plots are well written, and sometimes you feel like you’re twisting your brain into a knot, trying to figure out the paradoxes. But most importantly it’s kind-hearted and beautiful. No doubt Doctor Who will remain a fan-favorite for many years to come

Տիար Բլեյան, ինչպե՞ս ծնվեց կրթահամալիր ունենալու գաղափարը:
— Դա մի փոքր երկար, բայց սիրելի պատմություն է: Յուրաքանչյուրը, ով ունի մանկավարժական գաղափարներ, ծրագրեր, ուզում է դրանք իրականացնել, փորձում է գտնել համախոհներ իր դպրոցը` կրթական միջավայր ստեղծելու համար։ Միջավայր, որովհետև միջավայրն ամենամեծ դպրոցն է:
Երևանի պետական համալսարանի ֆիզիկայի ֆակուլտետից, որտեղ աշխատում էի, այսպիսի ծրագրով եմ անցել դպրոց: 1985 թվականին համախոհների փնտրտուքը ինձ բերեց Բանգլադեշ, թ. 183 նորաբաց դպրոցը, այն էլ` որպես տնօրեն: Եվ այս նոր յուրացվող տարածքում, որտեղ ամեն ինչ դեռ անկազմակերպ էր, իմ բախտը բերեց կամ չբերեց, որովհետև ինձ պես խելառ երկու Աշոտներ` Աշոտ Մանուչարյանն ու Աշոտ Դաբաղյանը, իմ օգնականներն էին, դպրոցի փոխտնօրենները: Եվ մենք` երեք Աշոտներով, տեսնելով, որ շատ հարմար պահ է գորբոչովյան վերակառուցումներից հետո, երբ խորհրդային ռեժիմը հոգեվարքի մեջ է, օգտվեցինք այդ ազատությունից, «թթվածնի» առկայությունից… 1989-ին Հայաստանի կառավարությանը կարողացանք համոզել ընդունել մեր կրթական նախագիծը: Ստեղծվեց «Մխիթար Սեբաստացի» կրթահամալիրը` որպեսփորձարարական-հետազոտական միավորում, որպես անհատի հնարավորությունների, կարողությունների ու տաղանդի դրսևորման արդյունավետ միջավայր: Nane Vardumyan
— Իսկ ինչո՞ւ կոչվեց հենց Մխիթար Սեբաստացու անունով:
— Կրթահամալիրի, հետազոտական-կրթական միջավայրի հոմանիշը միաբանությունն է: Գաղափարակիր, ոգևորված, ստեղծագործող ուսուցիչները մի՞թե վարդապետներ չեն: Բանգլադեշը այն ժամանակ մի տեսակ կղզի էր հիշեցնում, մեկուսացած էր մայրաքաղաք Երևանից, Հայաստանից: Սրան ավելացրեք մեծ ակնածանքը Մխիթար Սեբաստացու, նրա Միաբանության հանդեպ… նոր, կրթական միաբանություն ունենալու համար շատ էլ հարմար անուն ընտրեցինք: Խիզախել էր պետք, ինչպես հայր Մխիթարը: Aram Khachatryan
— Իսկ ի՞նչ տեսք ուներ կրթահամալիրը ամենասկզբում:
— Ամենասկզբում Մայր դպրոցն էր` այն ժամանակ Երևանի թիվ 183-ը: Խելահեղ գաղափարներն անպակաս էին, բայց ցաքուցրիվ, անկազմակերպ, բավականին հախուռն: Երեխաները շատ էին, իսկ շենքը մեկն էր: Հետո մեզ միացավ մանկապարտեզը` այսօրվա Դպրոց-պարտեզը, այնուհետև Հիմնական դպրոցը` մեր Գիմնազիան, հետո` Նոր դպրոցը` մեր Նախակրթարանը, Արհեստների դպրոցը, վերջում` Մեդիակենտրոնը` մեր շախմատի և ինֆորմատիկայի դպրոցը: Այսպես կտոր-կտոր ամբողջացավ, դարձավ այն, ինչ այսօր ունենք որպես ամբողջական կրթահամալիր:
Խնդիրը, որ մեր կրթահամալիրը սովորելու համար լինի հաճելի միջավայր, որ մեր երկրի անկազմակերպ վիճակը չխանգարի սովորողին և ուսուցչին զբաղվել իրենց սիրելի գործով, դրսևորել իրենց անհատականությունը, եղել է հենց սկզբից։ 23 տարիների ընթացքում հղկվել, դարձել է ձեզ այդքան գրավիչ այսօրվա միջավայրը: Sergey Hayriyan
— Իսկ այս 23 տարիների ընթացքում ի՞նչ բարդություններ ու խոչընդոտներ ունեցավ կրթահամալիրը:
— Շատ, շատ բարդություններ ունեցավ: Գլխավորը, իհարկե, մեր մանկավարժության պատվիրատուին գտնելն էր: Նոր հանրապետություն էր, ազատ հանրապետություն, ուր մարդու իրավունքներ և ազատությունները հռչակված են որպես միայն լոզունգ: Իսկ որպեսզի իրոք լինեինք ազատ, մենք պետք է գտնեինք պատվիրատու, այսինքն՝ ծնող, ով ուզում է՝ իր երեխան կրթվի այս ծրագրով, որ քեզ պես է մտածում: Մենք այս 23 տարիների ընթացքում կարողացանք ձևավորել պատվիրատուների մի տպավորիչ բանակ: Եվ եթե մենք կանք, ապա շնորհիվ դրա: Որովհետև կային այնքան շատ արգելքներ, այնքան մեծ էր անդունդը, որ կարող էր մեզ տանել ու հետ չբերել: Բայց պատվիրատուն մեզ պահեց: Arno Barzegar-Nazari
Մեզ օգնեց նաև ստեղծականության աշխատանքի հանդեպ մեր ունեցած պաշտամունքը: Այս երկրում, որտեղ աշխատելը, կներեք, դարձել էր «էշություն», և ծուլությունը՝ մարդու կարևոր զբաղմունքը, մենք ստեղծականության նկատմամբ պետք է պաշտամունք ստեղծեինք: Կարևոր է նաև արդիական գործիքների կիրառումը, որովհետև փոխվում են ժամանակները, և սովորողը իրավունք ունի իր ձեռքին ունենալու արդիական գործիքներ: Այսօր այդ գործիքները թվային գործիքներն են, մեդիակրթությունը, ահա թե ինչու մենք այդ գործիքները լիուլի օգտագործում ենք մեր կրթության մեջ: Եվ այդ երեք կետերի շնորհիվ` անհատի կրթական պատվեր, ստեղծականություն և արդիական գործիքների կիրառում, մենք կարողացանք հաղթահարել շատ խոչընդոտներ: Svetlana Melqonuyan
— Իսկ մեդիակրթությունը մի՞շտ է կրթական համակարգում առաջնահերթ դեր ունեցել:
— Այո, որովհետև Հայաստանում առաջին ուսումնական համակարգիչները` ճապոնական Yamaha համակարգիչներ, կային նաև մեր կրթահամալիրում: Մեզ մոտ բացվեց առաջին հանրակրթական տպարանը, առաջին ուսումնական «Շաղիկ» հրատարակչությունը մենք ունեցանք: Եվ քանի որ մեր մուտքը մանկավարժության ասպարեզ համընկավ թվային միջոցների ստեղծման ու տարածման հետ, մենք, կարելի է ասել, միասին հանդես եկանք, և այդ գործիքները սկսեցինք կիրառել կրթության մեջ: Հասկացանք, որ դրանք շատ գրավիչ են դարձնում ուսումը, ավելի արդյունավետ: Ահա թե ինչու մենք այդ գործիքները կենցաղից տեղափոխեցինք դպրոց: Իհարկե, դժվար էր, որովհետև դրանք թանկ էին, բայց մենք ցույց տվեցինք, որ կարող է մարդը տանը պրոյեկտոր կամ էլեկտրոնային գրատախտակ չունենալ, բայց երբ որ դա ունի դպրոցում, իրեն հավասար է զգում: Մեզ համար կարևոր է, որ երեխան հասկանա, որ դա ծառայում է իրեն: Ֆիզիկական վիճակի հետ զուգահեռ կա նաև առցանց աշխարհ, վիրտուալ աշխարհ, որը մեդիաաշխարհն է: Եվ կրթահամալիրը նաև այդ աշխարհում էր պետք ստեղծել, և ստեղծեցինք մեր կայքը` mskh.am-ը: Մենք ստեղծեցինք այն, որպեսզի ուսուցումը լինի անընդհատ, որպեսզի սովորողը կարողանա անընդհատ պատմել իր մասին, որովհետև չկա ավելի կարևոր բան, քան իրար մասին լիարժեք տեղեկություն ունենալը: Areg Nshanyan
— Ի՞նչ նպատակներ է կրթահամալիրը դրել իր առջև:
— Այդ նպատակները ուսումնական նախագծերի ձևով ներկայացված են: Կան նախագծեր, որոնք սեբաստացիների օրերին հատուկ կներկայացվեն՝ որպես համատեղ աշխատանքի պատվերներ:
Ինձ համար թիվ մեկ նախագիծը կրթական պարտեզն է. Ինչպե՞ս անենք, որ մենք մեր առօրյայով հայտնվենք կրթական պարտեզի մեջ: Պարտեզ ասելով` նկատի ունեմ մինչև վերջ խնամված միջավայր, որտեղ մարդիկ իրար զգում են, որտեղ դու պատասխանատու ես յուրաքանչյուր ծիլի ու ծաղկի համար: Դա ամենամեծ գործն է երևի, որ մենք սկսել ենք: Եվ ես վստահ եմ, որ մոտակա 2-3 տարիները այդ առումով կլինեն վճռորոշ: Gohar Margaryan
Մյուս նախագիծն այն է, որ ուսումնական առօրյան, ճանապարհորդությունները, տոները լինեն լիարժեք ուսումնական: Հայրենագիտական ճամբարները` մեկօրյա, երկօրյա, եռօրյա, կրթությունը դարձնում են ավելի մոբիլ, այսինքն՝ սովորողը, ուսուցիչը, ուսումը ամենուր է:
Բացառիկ եմ համարում նաև երաժշտական կրթությանը, երգչախմբի գործունեությունը: Ես ցանկացել եմ, որ տասներորդ, տասնմեկերորդ դասարանցին կատարի այդ ինտելեկտուալ աշխատանքը: Որովհետև Մոցարտ ունկնդրողը ինտելեկտուալ մարդ է: Առանց Մոցարտ, Բեթհովեն, Կոմիտաս ունկնդրելու՝ կրթությունը, կներեք, վայրենու վերարտադրություն է: Բացառիկ ենք համարում երաժշտական կրթությունը, այստեղից էլ՝ համերգային սրահի բացումը: Ուզում ենք, որ յուրաքանչյուրը հանդես գա որպես արվեստագետ: Եթե 3 նախագիծը հետևողականորեն իրագործվի, ապա կարճ ժամանակում դուք կզգաք էական փոփոխություններ Mary Torunyan
— Ինչո՞ւ է կրթահամալիրի տոնը նշվում հենց նոյեմբերին:
— Դա 4 տարիներին ֆիքսվեց ու ավանդույթ դարձավ: Սեպտեմբերին չէր կարող լինել, դա հաստատ եմ ասում։ Նոյեմբերը իմ ամենասիրած ամիսն է: Սիրում եմ ուշ աշունը, երբ մի քիչ ցուրտ է, երբ թեթևսոլիկություն չկա, ծանրակշիռ մի բան կա: Տոնը նաև պատրաստություն է պահանջում, և սեպտեմբերի ու հոկտեմբերի պատրաստություններից հետո հարմար է նշել նոյեմբերին: Ruzan Gasparyan.

A. I am a mother of identical, mirror-image boys — David and John. No one but me can tell them apart. I am constantly amazed at how close they are. Once when they were babies David was ill, but it was John who began crying wildly. I tried to calm John first since nothing was wrong with him. But he only cried louder. Finally I gave some medicine to David — who really was unwell. As soon as John sensed his brother felt better, he immediately settled to sleep.
B. The 12 year old was playing near the Platte River in North Bend, Nebraska. The river was high and as the boy stepped in, the current pushed his legs away. He floated off, spinning in the powerful current. At the last possible moment before the rapids, his yells were heard by his dog. It jumped in, reached the boy and towed him ashore. Another second and the boy would have been swept away to certain death.
C. Armgaard Karl Graves, referred to in press reports as ‘the Glasgow Spy’, was convicted in Scotland under the Official Secrets Act (1911) for spying on the British Navy. He spent years successfully creating an identity as an Australian doctor and in Scotland even conducted important clinical experiments. But he was eventually caught by a suspicious post office worker as he sent and received post under a variety of assumed names.
D. Zsa Zsa Gabor was born in Budapest on February 6th, 1917. Now in her 90s she has had a long and varied life. She was a beauty queen and singer before becoming a famous screen actress. She was married 8 times but only had one child with second husband, Conrad Hilton. Her last marriage to Frederic von Anhalt gave her the honorary title Prinzessin von Anhalt.
E. “Who do you think you are” is one of my favourite TV programs. Each episode researches the family history of a celebrity, back into the mists of time. In the UK there are good records of births, marriages and deaths going back hundreds of-years. One of the best episodes was on Boris Johnson, the Mayor of London. He was thrilled when he discovered he was directly related to King George II.
F. Paris Hilton is a famous socialite, media personality, actress, model and singer. In 2007 her grandfather Barron Hilton pledged 97% of his estate — a value of more than 2 billion US dollars — to a charitable foundation. Many now believe that Paris and the other grandchildren have had their potential inheritance sharply reduced. Others have commented that this news was unlikely to change her future life style.
G. Andy always travels well equipped for any potential possibility. He has a sewing repair kit and a small medical kit with aspirin. These are, I suppose, perfectly sensible. But what about a ball of string, tape measure, masking tape, Swiss army penknife, disposable cutlery, disinfectant, dry bags and an inflatable back rest? Andy says you never know what might happen and it’s always best to be prepared.

Alfred Nobel
The name of the most well-known Swede of all time — Alfred Nobel — is famous all over the world due to the prize he established. Despite hundreds of publications about the Nobel Prize, most people know very little about the man behind it.
Alfred Nobel was born in 1833, in Stockholm, Sweden. When he was four, the family moved to St. Petersburg, Russia. Alfred studied at home with the best private tutors and quickly mastered chemistry and became fluent in English, French, German and Russian as well as his native language, Swedish. In Russia, Alfred attended neither school nor university.
Alfred left Russia at the age of 18 to take a two-year trip around Europe and to the USA. When he returned to Russia, he began working at his father’s arms factory where he experimented with chemistry and explosives.
Later, Alfred Nobel expanded the business to Europe and America. He had homes in six countries complete with laboratories as he was also a workaholic. He said himself that “my home is where I work and I work everywhere”. Alfred Nobel had 93 profitable factories around the world when he died. Many of the leading industries in the chemical field today like ICI (Imperial Chemical Industries) came from companies established by Nobel. His 355 registered patents showed that Alfred Nobel had a wide range of interests in many fields of technology. There were experiments with imitation leather, artificial rubber and synthetic silk. Nobel tried to improve the electrical battery, the light bulb and the phonograph. He also took photographs from the air, using rockets and parachutes. Alfred Nobel was also a big letter writer, sometimes writing as many as 30 letters a day. It was not only letters that Alfred Nobel wrote. A year before his death, he published his sad novel “Nemesis” that was performed as a play in Stockholm. Nobel was full of paradoxes. He was successful yet felt hopeless. He made a fortune out of war but fought for peace. He was a faithful patriot, yet spent little time in Sweden. He was an outstanding scientist and inventor, yet had only one year of formal schooling and no university degree. He loved family life but had none of his own. His dream of a wife and children never came true.
In 1864, a deadly explosion killed his younger brother. Deeply affected, Nobel developed a safer explosive: dynamite. Soon the newspapers accused Alfred Nobel of being the “salesman of death”, even though 90 % of dynamite use was for non-violent purposes. However, Alfred Nobel himself knew that “there was nothing that could not be abused”. He never tried to defend his revolutionary invention. But Nobel was disappointed with how he might be remembered and decided to establish the Nobel Prizes to honour men and women for outstanding achievements in physics, chemistry, medicine, literature, and for working towards peace. . A prize in economics “in memory of Alfred Nobel” was added in 1969
