What Sleep can teach us about unlocking learning potential
by smartkit
As people dose off to sleep every night, their brains perk up and get to work. The brain uses this time to process all the new information from the day and begins reviewing, organizing, problem solving and memorizing among other things. In addition, athletes, surgeons and game addicts should read up on how the brain works because sleep actually helps to increase your motor skills by up to 33.5% and reduces errors by 30%.

Consolidation and virtualization: The same, but different
by holyver
Many IT administrators have discovered that there is overlap between consolidation and virtualization, and they are wondering how they should reconcile these two techniques in datacenter environments. Virtualization tools such as partitions, virtual machines, and resource management software all enable multiple dominant workloads to run simultaneously on larger servers, which is typically a key aspect of consolidation. But virtualization also offers far-reaching opportunities for administrators to fundamentally transform the operations in their datacenters.
