WASHINGTON (UPI) New research has uncovered the flash of brain activity that allows people to store memories. German scientists have discovered a two-step process that encodes memory in the space of two seconds. Researchers describe tracking not the "footprints" of memory but the shadows of those footprints. Rhinal cortex, hippocampus: http://news.excite.com/news/u/990903/17/health-memory : Do your memories have footprints, shadows, reflections? Do you store the right memories? Are your memories misplaced, replaced, fragmented, molded? _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ # Musical Code for 'Miracles' & World Healing Found in Bible; Ancient Tones Intrigue Scientists, Musicians and Religious Scholars. SANDPOINT, Idaho. An ancient musical scale called Solfeggio, that according to authorities includes tones for "miracles" and possibly world healing, has been report- edly discovered in the Bible by an Idaho physician and minister of the gospel. The repeating six tones, electromagnetic frequencies, include the mathematical code recognized by experts to help repair damaged DNA -- the genetic blueprint of life. http://news.excite.com/news/pr/990902/books : Do you work miracles with music? Have you performed any musical miracles lately? Have you healed the world yet? Why not? Is the world worth healing? _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ @ THE PLANET FINDERS. Amazing things have happened with the discovery of new planets. The discoveries have closely followed the movement of Kundalini energy through the spine giving rise to speculation that the universe is actually undergoing a cosmic kundalini which has culminated with the disc- overy of Supernova 1987a, the eye in the sky. And these discoveries have lined up strangely consistent with Biblical scripture. This is reasonable since both the astronomical and Biblical concepts arose from the Greeks. http://www.hiddenmeanings.com/enlighten.html#FINDERS : Does cosmic energy flow up your spine? Does sexual/orgone/kundalini energy flow up the universe's spine? Is sex the answer? Are planets ovaries? Where? _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ # WORRIES ABOUT BALTIC CHEMICAL SOUP. (MSNBC) MORE THAN 50 years ago, the Allied forces dumped almost 300,000 tons of chemical weapons in and near the Baltic Sea. Now environmentalists are worried the weapons, mostly filled with highly toxic mustard gas, are on the verge of rupturing. They warn that this could spell disaster for the region's fishing industry and environment. "It could destroy all life": http://msnbc.com/news/304036.asp : What strange new lifeforms will evolve in the Baltic Chemical Soup? Will they devour DNA-based life? Will they ignore us and build a new reality?? _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ @ National Capital Area Skeptics (NCAS) has placed the 1989 report of the Cold Fusion Panel of the US DoE's Energy Research Advisory board (ERAB) on-line. The conclusions and recommendations of the panel represented the consensus of mainstream science at that time, and continue to do so today. The ERAB report is not a quick read, but close study of the evidence con- sidered by the panel, as well as the reasoning employed by the panel in evaluating that evidence, is well worth the effort for anyone attempting to evaluate cold fusion claims being put forward today. www.ncas.org/erab/ : Have you developed any cold-fusion systems lately? Do they work, producing significant amounts of energy? Did aliens help you? Have you sold any cold- fusion power systems? To whom? Have you bankrupted any energy corporations?? _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ # British Telecom eyes wireless home. (CNN) British Telecommunications is set to roll out a line of networking products aimed at turning UK homes & small businesses into a wireless wonderland in which laptops, printers & other digital devices "talk" to one another over invisible voice and data lines. Catching up - see http://cnnfn.com/1999/09/06/europe/bt/ : Are you enmeshed in a wireless webbing of words/data, caught in invisible strands like Gulliver roped-down by Lilliputians? Can you break free? How?? _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ # Radar images capture big, slowly tumbling asteroid. (NASA/JPL) Astronomers have used the world's two most powerful radar telescopes to make the most detailed images ever obtained for an asteroid in a near-Earth trajectory. With an average diameter of about 3.5 kilometers (2 miles), 1999 JM8 is the largest near-Earth asteroid ever studied in detail. Altho this object can pass fairly close to Earth in celestial terms, astronomers concur that an actual encounter with Earth is not of concern in the next few centuries.
