Anne Strieber, (who is right-handed) was told by her neurologist that being left-handed is a higher stage of human evolution, because lefties use their ENTIRE brains to do everything, not just the opposite sides from righties, as they once thought. But sometimes, the right hand really may not know what the left hand is doing.

Scientists have learned that hand relies on a different set of sensory inputs to control its movement. In right-handed people, their dominant hand was found to be more dependent on vision for its guidance, while the left, non-dominant, hand was guided by body-based sensations from muscles, joints and skin.

Researchers are firing up their supercomputers to try to figure out what changes global warming will bring us in the future.Recent episodes of deadly heat in the United States and Europe, long dry spells across the US West, and heavy bursts of rain and snow across much of North America and Eurasia hint at longer-term changes to come. Much of the world will face an enhanced risk of heat waves, intense rain, and other weather extremes.

If you worry about getting sick, are you more likely to become ill? This doesn’t sound fair but alas, it may be true.

It works that way with rats, anyway. Robert Roy Britt writes in LiveScience.com that when young female rats, of a breed that is know to be cancer-prone, were placed in an unfamiliar environment, the ones that became apprehensive developed cancerous tumors much sooner than the rats with more equanimity. There was no difference between the time they got the cancer and the time of death in the two sets of rats?the apprehensive ones just got sick sooner.

There’s a lesson there for humans in how to live.

Major UFO sightings no longer matter to the national media, but they happen locally all the time, and the sightings that have been taking place in Tinley Park, Illinois “are among the most well-documented cases we have seen,” according to Peter Davenport of the National UFO Reporting Center. The description of these UFOs are startlingly similar to “bubba,” the UFO that was familiar to residents of Gulf Breeze, Florida in the 1990s. Whitley and Anne Strieber witnessed the Gulf Breeze UFO in 1996, and Whitley Strieber remembers it as being “the most beautiful ruby-colored light I have ever seen.”
