The computerized eyeglass processes imagery using Augmediated Reality, in order to help the wearer see better, and when the computer is damaged, e.g. by falling and hitting the ground (or by a physical assault), buffered pictures for processing remain in its memory, and are not overwritten with new ones by the then non-functioning computer vision system. As a result of Perpetrator 1's actions, therefore images that would not have otherwise been captured were captured. Therefore by damaging the Eye Glass, Perpetrator 1 photographed himself and others within McDonalds. The following images, all taken by Perpetrator 1 (i.e. their having been captured was caused by Perpetrator 1's actions), were among those recovered from the damaged computer vision system, and will hopefully help in solving this crime.

Hundreds of species of bacteria call the human gut their home. This gut "microbiome" influences our physiology and health in ways that scientists are only beginning to understand. Now, a new study suggests that gut bacteria can even mess with the mind, altering brain chemistry and changing mood and behavior.

The original Homestead Act signed into law by President Abraham Lincoln on May 20, 1862, had a significant impact on the City of Beatrice and Gage County. In connection with this historic piece of legislation, the City of Beatrice is proud to announce the Homestead Act of 2010. Like the original Homestead Act, the Homestead Act of 2010 offers applicants the opportunity to acquire a parcel of real estate if they build a residence on the land and it is their primary residence for five years. At this time, the City of Beatrice is offering several lots as homestead property. If you are interested in participating in the Homestead Act of 2010, please review the contract and contact Tobias J. Tempelmeyer, City Attorney, at 228-5211. Act now as the land will be distributed on a first come, first served basis.

Research suggests that the mind has a subtle capacity to influence probabilistic physical events. Researchers are able to directly measure this unexplained phenomenon using devices called REGs. The Mind Lamp™ is a new ambient LED lamp equipped with an REG device and created in collaboration with researchers from the Princeton University PEAR lab. By exerting an influence on quantum-scale probabilistic events, your mind can control the colors the Mind Lamp™ displays.

The study, reported in the Journal of Neural Engineering, demonstrated the ability to decode a person's preference for one of two drinks with 80 percent accuracy by measuring the intensity of near-infrared light absorbed in brain tissue, the scientists said in a statement today. "This is the first system that decodes preference naturally from spontaneous thoughts," says Sheena Luu, a University of Toronto doctoral student in biomedical engineering who led the work under the supervision of Tom Chau, a specialist in pediatric rehab engineering at the university's Bloorview Kids Rehab center.

That very large majorities of the American public believe in God, miracles, the survival of the soul after death, the resurrection of Jesus Christ, and the Virgin birth will come as no great surprise. What may be more surprising is that substantial minorities believe in ghosts, UFOs, witches, astrology, and the belief that they themselves were once other people. Overall, more people believe in the devil, hell and angels than believe in Darwin’s theory of evolution.

After all, Persinger said, there are interesting parallels in the realm of art. "We know that poetic capacity is a manic feature; we know from studies that at least 70 per cent of contemporary writers and musicians who are considered avant-garde or at the edge of our culture are manic depressives. The manic phase activates the brain to such a degree that parts of the brain functionally interact that normally would not. And so they can see things in the universe and even make predictions that are beyond the ordinary person. And that is what we call talent - or intuition."
