Top 10 Unexplained Phenomena

Number 10:


The Body/Mind Connection

Medical science is only beginning to understand the ways in which the mind influences the body. The placebo effect, for example, demonstrates that people can at times cause a relief in medical symptoms or suffering by believing the cures to be effectiveewhether they actually are or not. Using processes only poorly understood, the bodyes ability to heal itself is far more amazing than anything modern medicine could create.

Number 9:

Psychic powers and ESP

Psychic powers and extra-sensory perception (ESP) rank among the top ten unexplained phenomena if for no other reason than that belief in them is so widespread. Many people believe that intuition (see #3) is a form of psychic power, a way of accessing arcane or special knowledge about the world or the future. Researchers have tested people who claim to have psychic powers, though the results under controlled scientific conditions have so far been negative or ambiguous. Some have argued that psychic powers cannot be tested, or for some reason diminish in the presence of skeptics or scientists. If this is true, science will never be able to prove or disprove the existence of psychic powers.
Number 8:
Near-Death Experiences and Life After Death


People who were once near death have sometimes reported various mystical experiences (such as going into a tunnel and emerging in a light, being reunited with loved ones, a sense of peace, etc.) that may suggest an existence beyond the grave. While such experiences are profound, no one has returned with proof or verifiable information from ebeyond the grave.e Skeptics suggest that the experiences are explainable as natural and predictable hallucinations of a traumatized brain, yet there is no way to know with certainty what causes near-death experiences, or if they truly are visions of ethe other side.e

Number 7:

UFOs



There is no doubt that UFOs (Unidentified Flying Objects) existemany people see things in the skies that they cannot identify, ranging from aircraft to meteors. Whether or not any of those objects and lights are alien spacecraft is another matter entirely; given the fantastic distances and effort involved in just getting to Earth from across the universe, such a scenario seems unlikely. Still, while careful investigation has revealed known causes for most sighting reports, some UFO incidents will always remain unexplained.


Number 6:
Deje vu


Deje vu is a French phrase meaning ealready seen,e referring to the distinct, puzzling, and mysterious feeling of having experienced a specific set of circumstances before. A woman might walk into a building, for example, in a foreign country sheed never visited, and sense that the setting is eerily and intimately familiar. Some attribute deje vu to psychic experiences or unbidden glimpses of previous lives. As with intuition (see #3), research into ,human psychology can offer more naturalistic explanations, but ultimately the cause and nature of the phenomenon itself remains a mystery.

Number 5:


Ghosts


From the Shakespeare play "MacBeth" to the NBC show "Medium," spirits of the dead have long made an appearance in our culture and folklore. Many people have reported seeing apparitions of both shadowy strangers and departed loved ones. Though definitive proof for the existence of ghosts remains elusive, sincere eyewitnesses continue to report seeing, photographing, and even communicating with ghosts. Ghost investigators hope to one day prove that the dead can contact the living, providing a final answer to the mystery.

Number 4:
Mysterious Disappearances


People disappear for various reasons. Most are runaways, some succumb to accident, a few are abducted or killed, but most are eventually found. Not so with the truly mysterious disappearances. From the crew of the Marie Celeste to Jimmy Hoffa, Amelia Earhart, and Natalee Holloway, some people seem to have vanished without a trace. When missing persons are found, it is always through police work, confession, or accident never by epsychic detectivese). But when the evidence is lacking and leads are lost, even police and forensic science canet always solve the crime.

Number 3:
Intuition


Whether we call it gut feelings, a esixth sense,e or something else, we have all experienced intuition at one time or another. Of course, gut feelings are often wrong (how many times during aircraft turbulence have you been esuree your plane was going down?), but they do seem to be right much of the time. Psychologists note that people subconsciously pick up information about the world around us, leading us to seemingly sense or know information without knowing exactly how or why we know it. But cases of intuition are difficult to prove or study, and psychology may only be part of the answer.

Number 2:
Bigfoot

For decades, large, hairy, manlike beasts called Bigfoot have occasionally been reported by eyewitnesses across America. Despite the thousands of Bigfoot that must exist for a breeding population, not a single body has been found. Not one has been killed by a hunter, struck dead by a speeding car, or even died of natural causes. In the absence of hard evidence like teeth or bones, support comes down to eyewitness sightings and ambiguous photos and films. Since it is logically impossible to prove a universal negative, science will never be able to prove that creatures like Bigfoot and the Loch Ness monster do not exist, and it is possible that these mysterious beasts lurk far from prying eyes.

Number 1:

The Taos Hum


Some residents and visitors in the small city of Taos, New Mexico, have for years been annoyed and puzzled by a mysterious and faint low-frequency hum in the desert air. Oddly, only about 2 percent of Taos residents report hearing the sound. Some believe it is caused by unusual acoustics; others suspect mass hysteria or some secret, sinister purpose. Whether described as a whir, hum, or buzzeand whether psychological, natural, or supernaturaleno one has yet been able to locate the soundes origin.

Aaron Carter: Without you (There be no me) "The combination of music-video"

"Without You (There'd Be No Me)"

I've been around on this journey
And I'm learning
As the world keeps turning
You got a face to fight
Just live the dream
Who could've believe
That one of achieved
Who would have ever guessed
It would be like that
(Come on)

But through it all
Who's been there for me
To care with me
Even shed a tear for me
You're the one who's kept it real
So in return this is how I feel
(Come on)

Do you mind where I came from?
And I had to tell you in this song
Without you
Where would I be?
(Come on, hit me out now)

No matter where the
Road may lead me..
Hometown boy
Or a face on TV
It's plain to see
That without you
There'd be no me
(Be no me, come on)

It's a dream that
I've come so far
The ups and downs are there
But I work so hard
Many people don't know the life I live
Always on the road, always planning the show
Getting down to business in the studio
I can face the day cause the love you give
Through it all when the day is done
The nights begun
You're still my No. 1
You're the one who's kept it real
So in return this is how I feel
(Come on)

Do you mind where I came from?
And I had to tell you in this song
Without you
Where would I be?
(Come on, hit me out now)

No matter where the
Road may lead me..
Hometown boy
Or a face on TV
It's plain to see
That without you
There'd be no me
(Be no me, come on)

One shout to my family
Cause when things get hard you understand me
Two shouts to my boys at home
Although I'm not there you know you're not alone
Three shouts to my label
Cause with them I would not be able to make the fourth
Shout out the ones I think about
Masterpiece to the masterplan
That's you da fans

Do you mind where I came from?
And I had to tell you in this song
Without you
Where would I be?
(Come on, hit me out now)

No matter where the
Road may lead me..
Hometown boy
Or a face on TV
It's plain to see
That without you
There'd be no me
(Be no me, come on)

Do you mind where I came from?
And I had to tell you in this song
Without you
Where would I be?
(Come on, hit me out now)

No matter where the
Road may lead me..
Hometown boy
Or a face on TV
It's plain to see
That without you
There'd be no me
(Be no me)

Arrival in London

Hey there friends,

I arrived in London on 29/08/2007 at 7.15am at Heathrow airport.

You know what the way they work in London (at airport) is so different from Cambodia. It take hours to get through the passport control. After the passport control, I have to go to the health control place to check for any infectious, but luckily i have the health certificate (IOM) with me so I just need to do the clearance. However, it still take hours.

The weather in London is cool about 25-28 'c.

The tranportation are available in bus, taxi, DLH, train, and tube (underground trian).

Ok then, I will post more info. and pics later.

See ya...
