Can You Teach Yourself Synesthesia?

Conventional wisdom says that synesthesia is innate -- you're either born with the condition or you're not, end of story. If you happen not to have been born that way but would really, really love to experience numbers as colors, or colors as sound ... then you, my sense-straight friend, are pretty much out of luck. Except ... maybe not? A group of psychologists at the University of Amsterdam have been testing whether synesthesia might, actually, be learned. Synesthetes' innate cognitive wiring leads them to augment their perception of the physical world; the researchers wanted to see whether the reverse could take place -- whether an augmented physical world could lead to ...

Beloved of spiritualists and bored teenagers on a dare, the Ouija board has long been a source of entertainment, mystery and sometimes downright spookiness. Now it could shine a light on the secrets of the unconscious mind. The Ouija, also known as a talking board, is a wooden plaque marked with the words, "yes", "no" and the letters of the alphabet. Typically a group of users place their hands on a movable pointer , or "planchette", and ask questions out loud. Sometimes the planchette signals an answer, even when no one admits to moving it deliberately. Believers think the answer comes through from the spirit world. In fact, all the evidence points to the ...

Afghanistan's Taliban insurgents have denied involvement in the recent public execution of a woman captured in a horrific video that caused international outrage. Afghan authorities blamed the Taliban Islamists for killing the 22-year-old woman for adultery, as was common during their rule of the country between 1996 and 2001. She was was shot dead as dozens of men cheered in a village about 100 kilometres (60 miles) north of the capital Kabul. But the Taliban said in a statement on their website on Thursday that they had investigated the incident and found the woman was "killed by the decision of the local residents". "The involvement of the... mujahideen as ...

Killing is not a sport, but our $$ advertise it at sporting events. A bipartisan measure in Congress has passed through committee that would stop spending $80 million for military sports sponsorships, primarily auto racing. House Armed Services Committee Chairman Buck McKeon (R-Calif.) is fighting to restore that funding. Tell your Representative you oppose funding military race cars. While $80 million is small compared to billions the military spends annually on recruitment and advertising or the trillion each year in total military spending, this $80 million is important: The Army claims that one-third of its recruits come from motorsports marketing, including through its recruiting ...

Chief Justice Roberts Is A Genius

It will be a short-lived celebration. Here’s what really occurred — payback. Yes, payback for Obama’s numerous, ill-advised and childish insults directed toward SCOTUS. Chief Justice Roberts actually ruled the mandate, relative to the commerce clause, was unconstitutional. That’s how the Democrats got Obama-care going in the first place. This is critical. His ruling means Congress can’t compel American citizens to purchase anything. Ever. The notion is now officially and forever, unconstitutional. As it should be. Next, he stated that, because Congress doesn’t have the ability to mandate, it must, to fund Obama-care, rely on its power to tax. Therefore, the ...

Catch 22 Meaning A paradox in which the attempt to escape makes escape impossible. Origin catch-22 The title of Joseph Heller's novel, written in 1953 and published in 1961, (properly titled 'Catch-22' - with a hyphen). The first chapter was also published in a magazine in 1955, under the title 'Catch-18'. The paradox is presented as the trap that confined members of the US Air Force. In logical terms the 'catch' was that, by applying for exemption from highly dangerous bombing missions on the grounds of insanity, the applicant proved himself to be sane (after all, that's what any sane person would do). If anyone applied to fly they would be considered ...

A private German economics and business university is suing one of its students for lost income after he finished his Bachelors and Masters degrees in about a quarter of the normal time. Marcel Pohl completed 60 examinations in 20 months, gaining a grade of 2.3, and was officially ex-matriculated in August 2011. Such a course usually takes 11 semesters, but he only needed three. Now the Essen-based School of Economics and Management (FOM) want the 22-year-old to pay his fees up the end of 2011 - an extra €3,000. "When I got the lawsuit, I thought it couldn't be true," Pohl, who now works for a bank in Frankfurt, told the Bild newspaper. "Performance is supposed ...

On Thursday's show, researcher of ancient mysteries, Frank Joseph Hoff, discussed the unusual work of Brazilian Prof. Arysio Santos on the true location of Atlantis. The late Prof. Santos had a Ph.D. in Nuclear Physics but was also a specialist in a variety of disciplines including climatology, chemistry, geology, and archeology. Through such sources as ancient Hindu texts, and the writings of Plato and his contemporaries, he was able to "reverse engineer" the location of Atlantis-- a submerged subcontinent in Southeast Asia, where the Indian Ocean, South China Sea, and the Pacific Ocean all come together, Hoff recounted, adding that Indonesia is part of this land mass that ...

BOSTON, July 7, 2012 (Reuters) — U.S. Democratic Representative Barney Frank wed his longtime partner, James Ready, on Saturday, becoming the first sitting congressman to enter into a same-sex marriage. Massachusetts Governor Deval Patrick officiated the ceremony and added some levity by saying Frank, 72, and Ready, 42, had vowed to love each other through Democratic and Republican administrations alike, and even through appearances on Fox News, according to Al Green, a Democratic congressman from Texas. "Barney was beaming," said Green, who attended the ceremony. He added that Frank, a champion of gay rights and the sweeping reform of Wall Street, shed a tear during the ...

Comment Posted by Wealth Wire - Monday, July 2nd, 2012 This past Memorial Day - a scorcher in Chicago - Jim Chilsen and his family returned home to find the second floor of their bungalow, where the bedrooms are located, was suffocatingly hot. So hot, Chilsen recalls, that his son and daughter wouldn’t have been able to sleep. But then Dad came to the rescue: Within an hour, and without central air-conditioning or even a room air conditioner, Chilsen cooled the upstairs so well that his daughter asked for a blanket. Chilsen, director of communications for Citizens Utility Board, a nonprofit utility watchdog in Illinois, sees a lot of hot cooling tips cross his desk. The most ...

Scientists of a Swiss institute say they have evidence that former Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat may have been poisoned with polonium. According to the findings of laboratory research conducted at the Institut de Radiophysique in Lausanne, Switzerland, Arafat was poisoned by polonium, a rare, highly radioactive element, al-Jazeera reported on Tuesday. “I can confirm that we measured an unexplained, elevated amount of unsupported polonium-210 in the belongings of Mr. Arafat that contained stains of biological fluids,” said Dr. Francois Bochud, the director of the institute. Bochud stated that the tests focused on biological samples taken from his belongings, which were given ...

Can't remember your phone number? Lose the GUM: Experts say chewing on chicle keeps memories from sticking in the brain

Chewing gum can be annoying to people around you and it leaves a sticky mess behind, but now researchers say it can also hamper your memory. According to experts from Cardiff University in the UK, people who chewed gum had a harder time recalling lists of letters and numbers than those who avoided the habit. Researchers believe that the motion involved in chewing impedes the brain's ability to memorize serial lists. Just like tapping your finger or foot may distract you from accomplishing the same task, continual movements like chomping on a piece of gum can also interfere with your short-term memory. Researchers say people who chewed gum had a harder time recalling lists of letters ...

Reckoning today from Paris, France... Dear Readers looking for investment advice should know better by now. If you think we know something about investing you’ve mixed us up with someone else. Besides, when it comes to the markets nobody knows anything. We don’t even believe in investing...not the way most people think of it. What we do know is that you can’t expect to get something for nothing...not in the world of finance and investment. So you can’t expect to earn a lot from your investments...unless you are lucky, or smart, or the feds rig the system in your favor. Which, of course, is what they’ve done for the last 40 years! No kidding. In the early ’70 ...

Sheikh Ghayyats: Assad's Regime And Israel Conspire To Help Each Other JAKARTA - Sheikh Ghayyats Abdul Baqi explained that, for a long time, there has been an evil conspiracy played by the Assad family regime of Syria and the Zionist Israel to secure Israel and destroy the Muslims, thus it not surprising that Bashar Assad is so cruel towards the Muslims. “In the past, Hafez Assad had banned the Muslims of Syria from fighting against Israel,” Sheikh Ghayyats said in a press conference entitled “Syria Calls You”, in the Da'wah Islamiyah Council of Indonesia, Kramat Raya, Jakarta (17/6). Moreover, the father of the current Syrian President or Bashar Assad ...
Breathalyzer tests compulsory on all vehicles in France

All vehicles travelling on French roads must carry a chemical or electronic breathalyzer test beginning Sunday, under new rules aimed at reducing alcohol-induced accidents. "Alcohol has been the main cause of mortality on roads since 2006," according to road security authorities. About a third of fatalities on French roads is due to drunk driving, a rate that far surpasses the 17 percent recorded in Britain or 10 percent in Germany. According to a survey published Sunday, just over half of respondents -- 57 percent -- said they have yet to equip their vehicles with breathalyzer tests. Those who fail to do so risk a fine of 11 euros ($14) from November 1, 2012, when the ...

Brazilian prisoners will be able to shave 48 days off their sentence each year by reading. In a move to promote literacy among inmates, the Brazilian government has announced that prisoners will be able to shorten their sentence by reading. The South American country has launched a program entitled ‘Redemption Through Reading’ in its four crowded federal prisons that allows prisoners to cut 48 days off their sentence each year by reading up to twelve books. Eligible inmates to take part in the program will be chosen by a special panel and then given a chance to select from works of literature, philosophy, science, or the classics. According to Brazilian officials, each ...

Streaming Consciousness & Telepathy: In the first half of Friday's program, author and "time traveling" clairvoyant, Louise Hauck, discussed the nature of time and telepathy, as well as how we can use our natural psychic abilities to navigate the 'past' and 'future,' and even contact those who have passed on from this realm. "There is no before or after outside of this dimension," Hauck said. The past exists only in so far as we hold certain perceptions of it, she added. Hauck detailed how she can merge with a client's consciousness to view strategic past scenes that may be impacting the present and glimpse probable future moments. According ...

A little boy got on the bus, sat next to a man reading a book, and noticed he had his collar on backwards. The little boy asked why he wore his collar backwards. The man, who was a priest, said, 'I am a Father..' The little boy replied, 'My Daddy doesn't wear his collar like that.' The priest looked up from his book and answered, ''I am the Father of many.' The boy said, ''My Dad has 4 boys, 4 girls and two grandchildren and he doesn't wear his collar that way!' The priest, getting impatient, said. 'I am the Father of hundreds', and went back to reading his book. The little boy sat quietly thinking for a while, then leaned over ...
