Humans hardwired to tune into animals › News in Science (ABC Science) News in Science Tuesday, 30 August 2011 Jennifer ViegasDiscovery News Animal attraction Years of either running from or running after animals has left its mark in the human brain - even just looking at a photo of an animal jolts our brains into action. No matter how high tech and urban we may become, animals continue to affect our brains like no other person, place or thing, shows new research in the latest issue of Nature Neuroscience. Co-author Dr Ralph Adolphs explains "that it is important for the brain to be able to rapidly detect animals. The reasons for this are probably several, but would likely include the need to avoid predators and catch prey." "These abilities are at once critically important to survival and yet very difficult to do," adds Adolphs, a professor of psychology, neuroscience and biology at the California Institute of Technology. Signalling predator or prey Outside of an experimental setting, humans, of course, don't just see animals. Springing into action

Dine Out Non-GMO If you have a favorite restaurant, and you eat there often, you should only need to ask these questions once. It's helpful to have a knowledgeable server or chef guide you through the menu to help you avoid GM foods. It’s not too hard to identify the non-GMO options. A good first question is, "What oil do you cook with?" If they use soy, cottonseed, canola, or corn oils they are likely GM if they are not organic. Since most processed foods contain GM derivatives (corn and soy, for example), ask what foods the chef prepares fresh, and choose those items. Try to avoid processed foods with the oils mentioned above, or with soy and corn derivatives, including: soy flour, soy protein, soy lecithin, textured vegetable protein, corn meal, corn syrup, dextrose, maltodextrin, fructose, citric acid, and lactic acid. Other potential sources of GM foods at restaurants include salad dressings, bread, and mayonnaise, and sugar from GM sugar beets. Other Sources of GMOs
Two Turntables Are A Drawing Machine Forget two turntables and a microphone—focus instead on two turntables and some wooden arms. In Drawing Apparatus Robert Howsare turns a pair of turntables into an automated drawing machine, swapping rotating vinyl for two wooden arms that draw geometric patterns as the turntables spin around. Varying the speed or shortening the wooden arms leads to different patterns being created, with Howsare seeing the resulting images as markers of temporality rather than simply drawings. As he explains: The revolutions of the records create drawings that serve as a markers of temporality. The simple device follows in the traditions of automated drawing machines pioneered by computer artist Desmond Paul Henry and continued by many others. [via MAKE] @stewart23rd
A Teenager’s Plea: Don’t Suck There are some things that just get to me. When I leave the Taco Bell drive through knowing, without even looking into the bag, that they have messed up my order.I certainly don’t like it when I end up shaking hands and it was supposed to be a fist bump. That’s just awkward. Those are little. What seriously gets to me is when there is a lack in how the church talks to us. I would walk into a service, and I would feel like I didn’t belong. We (teens) are a group who want to belong. Targeted It’s one thing to tell us we’re important, it’s another thing to show us. Side note: Everything matters: the colors you use, the layers you put on each other, the graphics you use or don’t use, and the way you give it to us. If we don’t feel targeted, you lose us. Experienced I want to be able to go into a church and have a serious experience with God. Everyone has an experience, it’s the churches’ goal to see that experience is a great one. There have been some things that work: “Go after them.

Picture: Frazer Harrison Source: Getty Images Kylie Bisutti says her body is for her husband's eyes only. YOUNG beauty Kylie Bisutti is quitting Victoria's Secret at just 21 because modelling lingerie does not conform with her Christian beliefs. Bisutti won Victoria's Secret Model Search in 2009 when she was 19, beating 10,000 other hopefuls. "Victoria’s Secret was my absolutely biggest goal in life, and it was all I ever wanted career-wise," she told FOX411. "I actually loved it while I was there, it was so much fun and I had a blast. Bisutti, from Simi Valley, California, was married shortly before getting her wings, and she said that was also a factor in her decision. "My body should only be for my husband and it’s just a sacred thing," Bisutti continued. Bisutti, however, is not giving up the catwalk just yet.
