Forgiveness
Most esteemed spirit, eternal praise upon you, with guilty heart I come to you. I’m so sorry, I spread a rumor at the expense of another. I am truly sorry, I won’t fail you again. Show me mercy so I may strengthen my soul to ward of evil anew.

What is kalsarikänni? The Finnish art of being “pantsdrunk”
Drinking home alone in your underwear just might be what you need to be as relaxed as the Finnish.
Mike Colagrossi 15 October, 2018
Päntsdrunk is the latest trend to come out of Scandinavia and it involves drinking alone at home.
Finnish writer Miska Rantanen outlines the philosophy in his newest book titled: Pantsdrunk: Kalsarikanni: The Finnish Path to Relaxation.
Kalsarikänni is a word in Finnish that literally means “drinking at home and alone in your underwear.”
It seems like you can always count on the Scandinavians for coming up with the most novel of lifestyle trends. Päntsdrunk is the anglicized term for the Finnish word Kalsarikänn, it’s a philosophy and way of life that the Finns swear by. The concept is something most young adults can get behind, no matter where they are in the world.Päntsdrunk consists mostly of being alone, drinking alcohol and doing whatever you please in the comfort of your home. That might mean binging on Netflix, staring mindlessly at the wall or your phone or just getting some well-needed rest and recuperation.
It’s no surprise the Finns have come up with something like this. After all, they are also one of the most relaxed nations with the least stressful educational systems.

Chemistry of lying
The Chemistry of Lying

What happens when you lie? Do you start to sweat or get a little nervous? Does your heart begin to beat a little faster? Lying is the act of being deceptive or untruthful. It has become apart of everyday life for most people, with the average person telling at least one lie a day. But few people know what happens inside their body when they lie and how that reaction relates to chemistry. I chose to do my project on the Chemistry of Lying because lying is something that humans encounter on a daily basis. I wanted to know what happened inside the body when you lie and what causes your heart to beat faster or that nervous feeling in your stomach. Through my research, I also hoped to understand what drives people to lie so frequently. It was an interesting and rather abstract topic that I had not thought much about in the past. With deception occurring in thirty percent of one-on-one conversations a person has in a week, it is easy to see how lying affects most people’s lives. For me personally, one of my biggest pet peeves is being lied to. Lying is not something that can be avoided easily but knowing more about the hows and whys of lying will hopefully help us to understand we are so prone to deceiving one another. Catecholamines are the main hormones released in the body when you lie because these hormones are responsible for reactions that spawn from stress. All catecholamines contain a main catechol group, C6 H4(OH)2 . The main catecholamines are:
The two main components of lying are the catecholamines, epinephrine and norepinephrine.
Norepinephrine, C8H11NO3, is another “fight or flight” hormone that is released when the body undergoes stress. It is also produced in the adrenal medulla and is created in the same way that epinephrine is, through the transition of amino acids into hormones. Once norepinephrine is produced, it is then stored in the synaptic vesicles until stimulated to release. This release occurs when the body begins to feel stressed and is done so to prepare the body for a harmful situation by providing protection to key organs and functions of the body. When this hormone is released, it binds to adrenergic receptors in order to carry out its many duties. Norepinephrine triggers the releases of glucose into the bloodstream and causes an increase in: blood pressure, heart-rate, mental awareness, and respiratory rate. It also acts as an anti-inflammatory of the brain and draws blood away from some organs to prepare the body for the situation it faces. Epinephrine and norepinephrine are two hormones that are naturally produced within the body through a series of reactions. Both derive from the same two amino acids, phenylalanine and tyrosine, which are the building blocks for catecholamines. The process from the creation of these two hormones is this:
Tyrosine is oxidized into L-DOPA; oxidation is a chemical reaction that occurs when a substance is in the presence of oxygen. From there, L-DOPA is decarboxylated into dopamine; decarboxylations is the chemical reaction that removes carboxyl group, COOH, and results in the release of carbon dioxide. Dopamine is then oxidized into norepinephrine, and norepinephrine is methylated into epinephrine. Methylation is the substitution of an atom or group by a methyl group, CH3.
The same process occurs during the creation of norepinephrine, but it stops before methylation occurs. Both of these hormones can be created synthetically in the lab for pharmaceutical purposes. The process used to artificially create these hormones is extremely similar to that of which occurs inside the body, but production may vary by company and/or the medication’s purpose. One common example of the medical use of epinephrine is in the Epipen. These two hormones do not result in the man-made production of lying. They are just key factors in the emotions that are felt while lying. These two hormones, individually, however can result in man-made products like medication. http://visual.ly/psychology-lying Limbic system is the center of the brain that controls anxiety and triggers the subconscious reactions that happen when someone lies Different parts of the brain are activated when you lie, which may not be used when telling the truth This source presents many statistics and facts, as well as explaining the gestures that our bodies due when we lie http://news.usc.edu/22586/Liars-Brains-Wired-Differently/ pathologic liars have more white matter in their prefrontal lobes-could mean that this gives these people the tools to be more deceitful moral decisions are made using the prefrontal lobe gray matter- more awareness of morality, white matter- tool to ignore morality rather inconclusive study but good start in the study of gray vs white matter https://www.psychologytoday.com/articles/199704/the-truth-about-lying various facts about lying statistics https://www.ted.com/talks/pamela_meyer_how_to_spot_a_liar?language=en video discussing the tell tale signs that someone is lying http://www.differencebetween.net/science/health/difference-between-grey-and-white-matter/ what happens in the grey matter of the brain http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/lying definition http://mashable.com/2013/12/20/psychology-of-lying/#sOLhJDwQSmqP lying stimulates 3 different sections of the brain http://psychology.wikia.com/wiki/Catecholamines catecholamines are the hormones released in response to stress http://www.answers.com/Q/What_is_the_chemical_released_when_someone_is_lying catecholamines- chemical released when you lie (neurotransmitters) http://www.nytimes.com/health/guides/symptoms/stress-and-anxiety/the-body’s-response.html when you are stressed, your body releases catecholamines (epinephrine, norepinephrine, dopamine) these activate area in brain calle amygdala, which triggers emotional response suppress activity in front of brain that control rational thought, concentration, and short term memory https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Catechol#Uses catechol composition http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/04/19/adrenaline-cortisol-stress-hormones_n_3112800.html epinephrine and norepinephrine info http://breakingmuscle.com/health-medicine/understanding-our-adrenal-system-epinephrine-adrenaline adrenaline info http://breakingmuscle.com/health-medicine/understanding-our-adrenal-system-norepinephrine noradrenaline info https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Epinephrine adrenaline info http://www.ask.com/science/can-adrenaline-made-artificially-37ccf004c9265fa0 synthetic epinephrine https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Norepinephrine norepinephrine info https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Decarboxylation decarboxylation https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Methylation methylation definition https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polygraph polygraph background https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phenylalanine composition of phenylalanine amino acid https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tyrosine composition of tyrosine amino acid https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Methyl_group
