Dr.Paul Odland and his friend Bob travel frequently to South America, where they provide free medical treatment for disabled children of poor families. One day, they went to a local marketplace. Paul wanted to buy some souvenirs, and he spotted a carving that he liked. The non-English speaking seller was asking 500 pesos for the carving. With Bob acting as interpreter, Paul offered 300 and his opponent proposed 450. The bargaining in the noisy market became spirited, even intense with Paul stepping up his price slightly and the seller going down slowly. The pace increased so fast that Bob could not keep up with the back-and-forth interpretation. Meanwhile, observing the seller carefully, paul sensed something wrong in Bob's interpretation. In fact, the seller had gone below Paul's last offer. When paul raised his doubt, Bob instantly recognized the error and corrected his interpretation. At length, they settled the deal, and he was delighted to purchase the carving at a reasonable price and thanked Bob.

In the summer of 1972, the actor Anthony hopkins was signed to play a leading role in a film based on George Feifer's novel The Girl from Petrovka. That is why he traveled to London to buy a copy of the book. Unfortunately, none of the main London bookstores had a copy. Then, on his way home, waiting for an underground train at Leicester Square tube station, he saw a discarded book lying on the sat next to him. It was a copy of The Girl from Petrovka. As if that was not coincidence enough, more was to follow. Later, when he had a chance to meet the author, Hopkins told him about this strange occurrence. Feifer was interested. He said to him that in November 1971 he had lent a friend a copy of the book -a unique copy in which he had made notes on turning the British English into American English for the publication of an American version- but his friend had lost the copy in London. A quick check of the copy Hopkins had found showed that it was the very same copy that his friend had misled.

Sandstorms are common throughout the dry desert regions of the world, but not every storm is the same. When sandstorms are particularly intense, they are referred to by the Arabic word haboob. They often occur in Africa's Sahara desert and the large deserts of the Arabian Peninsula. The United States experiences them as well, mostly in the state of Arizona. They are generally quite large in size, measuring as wide as 100 kilometers and reaching several kilometers in height. The winds that they bring can blow at speeds as high as 50 kph and can be very damaging. Sometimes the storms will contain rain as well, but the raindrops are not seen by observers at ground level, for they evaporate before reaching the earth.

There are 1.5 billion people around the world without access to electricity, and another 750 million without clean water. The SunSaluter, however, may be able to help them. It is a device with an adjustable solar panel and a container on its east end. The container is filled with water in the morning, causing the panel in the bottom of its container, so the panel continuously moves with the sun. This water flows into another container, which has a filter that purifies the water so it can be consumed. In other words, a single device provides both energy and drinking water. And because it rotates its solar panel throughout the day, it can produce 30% more electricity than a fixed solar panel. It also produces four liters of drinking water daily.

Our amazing ability to recognize images was illustrated in an experiment in which subjects were shown more than 600 pictures, one at a time. After they viewed the pictures, they were shown 68 pairs of pictures as a test. Each pair contained one of the pictures from the hundreds they had previously seen. They were then asked to indicate which picture thy had already seen and were able to do so with a 96.7 percent success rate. Two hours later, researchers showed them some more picture pairs. When asked which of them came from the original 600 pictures, they answered correctly an astounding 99.7 percent of the time. In similar recognition tests given several days later, they were still able to pick out the correct pictures.
