New tools make self-publishing e-books easier
Scott Nicholson, a prolific author with 70 books to date, has found most of his success online, selling self-published books at Amazon for the Kindle and other e-readers. He handles the entire process himself — from downloading stock photos at $4 to $5 a pop and making covers in Gimp, a free photo software tool, to converting the manuscripts into formats compatible for the e-readers. "If I can do it, anyone can," says Nicholson, 49, who writes four novels a year from his home in Boone, N.C.

Origen El peyote (Lophophora wiliamsii), "la planta que hace que los ojos se maravillen", según la describió un autor francés, es una cactácea de origen americano que crece en las regiones desérticas de Norteamérica, sobre todo en la sierra que corre entre Nayarit y San Luis Potosí. De acuerdo a las estimaciones de uno de los primeros cronistas españoles, fray Bernardino de Sahagún, los toltecas y los chichimecas conocían el peyote por lo menos dos milenios antes de la llegada de los europeos al continente americano.

By Ryan Hurd Reprinted with permission of Dream Studies , a site for Lucid Dreamers Although the scientific community did not recognize lucid dreaming until 1978, the history of this unique dreaming experience reaches back thousands of years, and potentially into the Paleolithic Era. However, the first verifiable documentation of lucid dreaming originated in the East thousands of years ago. Hinduism and Buddhism The first known textual description of lucid dreaming dates to before 1000 BCE from the Upanishads, the Hindu oral tradition of spiritual lessons, philosophy and proverbs.
July 14, 2009 I spend a lot of time thinking about how to improve user experiences. Sometimes, I take my ideas and create experiments to get hard data about how users behave in the real world. For the past few months, I have been performing an experiment on this site. At the bottom of most posts here, there’s a phrase with a link to my Twitter account . I had originally added this as an informational message, but it ended up being more effective than I expected.

Solitary Confinement: The Invisible Torture | Wired Science
<img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-4094" src="http://www.wired.com/images_blogs/wiredscience/2009/04/solitarycell.jpg" alt="solitarycell" width="660" height="396" /> The expanding torture scandal has left the American public horror-struck at how casually the Bush administration and its employees countenanced torture techniques like sleep deprivation, waterboarding and stress positions. However, another form of torture was not just used on detainees, but is being used on at least 25,000 Americans right now. That’s the number of people currently held in long-term solitary confinement in the United States, living for years in 80-square-foot concrete cubes lit by round-the-clock fluorescent light, with little or no human contact. The U.S. is alone among developed countries in using long-term solitary confinement on a regular basis.

{Brought to you by POLITICS OF PRISONS in collaboration with FAMILIES OF PRISONERS CIVIL RIGHTS FOUNDATION and DEPARTMENT OF CORRECTIONS EMPLOYEES FOR SAFE AND HUMANE PRISONS.} @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ The article below on Departments of Corrections' SOLITARY CONFINEMENT TORTURE is one of many articles we will be presenting on this website, in order to bring attention to the unprecedentedly brutal and counterproductive prison policies of US governments at all levels: federal, state and local. We will be exposing a few of the numerous US prison atrocities, naming the perpetrators whenever possible, and searching for ways to reverse the present trend toward the fascist INCARCERATION STATE. On our LIKELY LINKS PAGE at the conclusion of this Politics of Prisons website, you will find a variety of progressive spiritual and psychological articles and resource links which prisoners and nonprisoners alike may find useful.

Sensory deprivation or perceptual isolation [ 1 ] is the deliberate reduction or removal of stimuli from one or more of the senses. Simple devices such as blindfolds or hoods and earmuffs can cut off sight and hearing respectively, while more complex devices can also cut off the sense of smell, touch, taste, thermoception (heat-sense), and 'gravity'. Sensory deprivation has been used in various alternative medicines and in psychological experiments (e.g., see isolation tank ).

Out-of-Body Experiences: All in the Brain?
Response by three NDE researchers to an article in Nature Magazine (2002) on an induced out-of-body experience by electrical stimulation. Out-of-Body Experiences: All in the Brain? by Jan Holden, EdD, Jeff Long, MD, and Jason MacLurg, MD In 2002 an article appeared in the leading scientific journal Nature documenting an induced out of body experience through focal electrical stimulation of the brain's right angular gyrus in a patient who was undergoing evaluation for epilepsy treatment. Access to the original paper is available at the Nature website . This article is a response by three NDE researchers.It's surprisingly easy to induce an out-of-body experience. Photograph: Kobal Brain scientists have succeeded in fooling people into thinking they are inside the body of another person or a plastic dummy. The out-of-body experience - which is surprisingly easy to induce - will help researchers to understand how the human brain constructs a sense of physical self.
