Psychologists in the Prison Service will try to “cure” extremist Muslim inmates of their political beliefs with controversial therapies similar to those used to “de-programme” members of religious cults. The experimental treatments are being developed by a special Extremism Unit set up by the Ministry of Justice in January last year, The Mail on Sunday has discovered. Sources say the therapy forms part of a wide-ranging strategy to combat Islamic extremism in Britain’s jails. This ...

About 2000 tons of mercury from human-generated sources enter the environment every year, but tracing natural versus human sources, and sorting out local pollutants from distant sources, has been been a problem. University of Michigan scientists say they’ve taken a big step towards reading mercury “fingerprints.” “For some time, we weren’t sure that it was going to be technically possible, but now we’ve cracked that nut and have shown significant differences not only between mercury ...

用腦波來玩遊戲的新玩法似乎已經走出實驗室階段了，這家名為「NeuroSky」的廠商在心智控制領域方面鑽研，繼上次的腦波偵測器，這次與Square Enix合作，推出可以應用在遊戲的腦波控制器，透過額頭前的偵測器讀取腦波，進而在遊戲中來進行動作與操作。這個腦波控制器套件目前只支援Windows平台，會在今年的日本電玩展展示，有了Square Enix的支援，相信用腦波來玩的遊戲推出指日可待。看來用腦波來玩H Game的日子不遠了...延伸閱讀：OCZ推出頭戴式腦波控制遊戲系統延伸閱讀：用「念力」玩電動玩具

Filed under: Gaming The last time we saw NeuroSky's MindSet brainwave-controlled gaming headset, the company was partnering with Sega -- now the peripheral-maker has teamed with Square Enix to produce what we hope will be a "mind-blowing" (groan) demo at this year's Tokyo Game Show. If you'll recall, NeuroSky has been pushing its unique brand of mind-controlled gaming since way back in 2005, but it appears the technology has become increasingly attractive to notable game-makers ...

原始出处：Astronomy Picture of the Day 来源：译言 翻译：floratlf 图片说明： 在地球上能够拍到这么真实的画面吗？能的。上图无论是远景，中景还是近景均清晰可辨。图中间是银河系的中央缎带，通过长期曝光拍摄而成。银河中央缎带左边那个亮点就是木星。再近一点儿，就是美国犹他州峡谷地国家公园的丘陵和岩地，沐浴在新月的光芒之中。画面中最近处是一个岩洞，里面有一个用石头垒成的圆圈，来历不明,人们叫它“虚拟地穴”。洞穴是通过长期曝光过程中不断用闪光灯补光拍摄而成。摄影师沃利·帕乔卡历经长途跋涉来到这里，在黑暗中等待曝光时还要警惕山狮的威胁。

So, in conjunction with partner in crime Tom Haddon, we are organising the Ubuntu San Francisco Release Party. Yes! Here are the details: WHEN? - Thursday 30th October : 7.30pm WHERE? - The lower ...
