Hey there, time traveller!

Mind control will be a primary focus of neuro-weaponry, which is expected to reshape warfare, neuroscientists confirm.
Emerging technologies will give birth to highly sophisticated adversarial applications centred on brain science; conventional battlefield methodology could soon fade into history.
"We are approaching a time when brain science will be critical to our national security," confirmed James Forsythe of Sandia National Laboratories
According to James Giordano of Georgetown University and the Potomac Institute for Policy Studies, and colleague Rachel Warzman at Georgetown University, the battlefields of the future will be shaped by advances in neuroscience focused for military purposes.
"Major breakthroughs (in brain science) relevant to national security are both viable and imminently achievable," Giordano suggested at a recent neuroscience conference.
The result would be an "arsenal of neuro-weapons," concluded Jonathan Marks at Penn State University.
Such an arsenal could include "drugs, microbiological agents and toxins from nature," explained Jonathan Moreno at the University of Pennsylvania.
In addition to the use of "brain-machine interfaces," the hormone oxytocin could be used to make prisoners more co-operative in divulging sensitive military information. Other substances would make soldiers forget atrocities they might have committed.
According to Forsythe and Giordano, adversarial elements could include: "nanoparticles engineered to affect specific brain processes," "super soldiers created through pharmaceuticals and/or brain stimulation" and "brain imaging for interrogation-lie detection" as well as the use of "intelligent machines."
Other possibilities being considered by military strategists include an aerosolized shellfish neurotoxin fatal to humans in a few minutes, hallucination-causing bacteria and organisms that access and destroy human brains by crawling up the olfactory nerves.
Such technologies would have been unimaginable not so long ago, but the U.S. Defence Advanced Research Projects Agency has been focusing on the military applications of brain science, Moreno confirmed.
Some of its projects, posted on its website, include "neuroscience for intelligence analysts" and "accelerated learning."
For the past several years, DARPA, the military research and development agency tasked with maintaining U.S. military technology superiority, "has engaged in research on direct neurological control," confirmed Stephen White at Cornell Law School.
But such a dramatic alteration in the way warfare is waged has legal implications, analysts suggest.
According to White, there are concerns with regard to "criminal responsibility for war crimes."
"Science and technology should never be used to do bad things," Giordano pointed out, cautioning that history shows scientists often generate information misused for unintended military purposes.
White noted that international law has no "per se prohibition" with regard to the direction that neuro-weaponry appears to be taking.

Hi, My husband has just got an iPad and I admit that although I'm the more technical of the 2 of us, I'm pretty clueless. Thing is I'm in the process of looking for a new job and have been sending for application forms, but the forms are sent via email and need filling in online. The problem is what to get to open them/fill them in. The latest one was sent as a word doc. I was able to open it but can't fill it in or save it or anything. So my question is, what can I get to be able to open e docs, fill in the application forms and save them/email them back? Thanks in advance.
Pages will do what you want. It is file compatible with MS Word and will allow you to email the completed form in either Word or PDF format. $10 from the app store. Sent from my iPad 4 HD mini
Thank you. I'm just downloading that. Fingers crossed it works because I've been so upset and frustrated this week trying to sort out these application forms and finding I can't open them or complete them.
Just paid £6.99 - it won't do what I need. Maybe it's just me, but I'm not "getting" the iPad. I can't do half the things I can do on my laptop, which needs repairing but when my hubby said he was getting an iPad I thought it was no point, I've not found anything I can do on it that I can't already do on my android phone, and I'm just not blown away by it. Which is such a shame cos think my hubby is impressed cos he isn't very technical.
Ive actually fiddled with this and it appears I CAN use it. It does pop up saying it doesn't support all aspects and replaces some things -changes font etc. so I'll have to see how it goes. Plus, when I read the reviews it doesn't have a good review and one of the comments says if it's too long it won't work, so fingers crossed I don't type it all up and find it cuts the end off. Thanks.
Stick with it. It is surprising how much Pages has built in. Never had a problem with docs being truncated. Let us know if that happens to you?
Hi there-have you also looked at app such as I annotate and goodreader? Also have a look at adobe reader? These allow for you to fill in and/annotate PDFs as well.
I started to do it and thought it was ok until I got to the tricky boxy bit, and there was no way I could do it. I contacted a friend had asked if it was just me being dumb or was it not possible, she said no not possible at all with the iPad and she is as disillusioned as I am. I've actually emailed the forms to her and she reckons its their formatting and not me being dumb, but she still maintains it can't be done on the iPad. Basically they are job application forms, one has been sent as a zipped doc my iPad told me it cannot open this at all, the other was sent as a word doc, the PAGES opened it, and allowed me to fill in to a certain degree but cannot tick the boxes required.
The thing is skip monkey, I'm not very technical and so not sure what I am downloading. It's not that I mind paying for an app IF it will do what I need, but I paid £6.99 the the other night for PAGES and it didn't do the job, so I don't want to buy an app unless I know it is going to do what I need. Like I said its job application forms with parts where I type in, which the pages DID allow me to do, but then getting to the tricky box bit it won't allow me to, unless it needs more technical info which I don't have.

So here we are again, December 31. Seemingly just another Wednesday, but for a Westerner like myself it was also potentially a day of choices and transformation. A day when one can decide to take control of one's life; a day when good habits can emerge and bad habits can die hard.
At this time a year ago I was traveling in South America, visiting old friends and making new ones. I had a hot fling with another traveler that was staying at my hostel. It was like a romance novel. Two individuals from opposite sides of the world who, despite language barriers and jealous friends, had undeniable chemistry that lasted for the duration of the trip. At the time I didn't tell him about my herpes. We had such a connection – both physically and intellectually – and after several months in the US of lust-less dating and absolutely no sex, I just couldn't pass up such a sexy opportunity. We used condoms…mostly…but I would be lying if I said I didn't put him at risk of contracting herpes. We kept in touch online and a few months later, after the guilt finally got to me, I told him I had herpes and suggested he get tested. He wasn't mad, and pretty much blew it off, but that is one scenario I know I will never find myself in again. Not only did I put him at risk (not to mention the other women he's been with since me, considering he doesn't think he needs to be tested), but I put myself at risk for other diseases as well. It was irresponsible and foolish. Besides the memories and the transient pleasure, it was really a lose-lose situation.
This year will be different. Yes, I've decided to turn over a new leaf. In 2009 I will value health, honesty, and genuine relationships, of any sort, above all else. What better way to realize this goal than to write it out and post it online for all to see? Maybe it will inspire some of you to write your own resolutions and share.
Here they are, my 2009 resolutions (well, not all of them, just the ones relevant to this site) in no particular order:
- I resolve to abstain from all sex (oral and vaginal) until notifying my partner that I have genital herpes.
- I resolve to abstain from all sex until I know the sexual health and history of my partner.
- I resolve to always use condoms as long as I'm not in a serious, committed relationship.
- I resolve to not have any one-night stands.
- I resolve to not get so emotionally attached to people I'm dating.
- I resolve to exercise at least 3 times a week.
- I resolve to not drink alcoholic and caffeinated beverages any more than 3 days a week, and to cut back on sugar and processed foods.
So there they are for the world to see. Some of these I'm proud to say I've already started to tackle. Others will be more difficult. I also know I will see a gynecologist at least once this year for a pap smear (and testing, if necessary) but don't need to make that a resolution as I've consistently done it since I was a teenager. But for those of you who don't see a doctor regularly, I recommend you make a point of going and getting tested each time you have a new partner or at least once a year.
What are your resolutions?

Travel by road from Antigua to Lake Atitlán, where clear azure-to-silver waters reflect emerald forests cloaking the surrounding volcanoes. Explore this traditional highland region of Guatemala, embracing one of the world's most picturesque lakes.
Day 1: You will be escorted by road to the small village of Santa Catarina Palopó on the lake-shore outside the main town, Panajachel. "Pana" is a pleasant tourist centre with dozens of market stalls selling traditional textiles and artisan craftwork. International visitors' gastronomic tastes are well catered for: there's a plethora of crêperies and cool bars.
Day 2: Your colonial-style hotel, Villa Santa Catalina is in a peaceful setting. You can relax on the terrace overlooking the lake, by the swimming pool or in the pretty gardens. Alternatively you can organise excursions to some of the nearby villages: most of them have their own market, distinctive costume and personality.
Day 3: Return to Antigua and the hotel Casa de las Fuentes, a former colonial mansion 10mins' walk from the main square.
Day 4: Continue your holiday or return to Guatemala airport for your international flight.
UK clients arrive home the following day.
Breakfast daily.
4 days from £740pp
Widely considered the most impressive of all Mayan sites (and we agree), Tikal is shrouded in remote rainforest. Carved stelae are ubiquitous in this pre-Columbian skyscraper city. Three steeply-stepped pyramids poke through the rainforest canopy, allowing climbers panoramic jungle views. Stay at the Jungle Lodge, basic cottages close to the ruins.
Day 1: Fly from Guatemala City to Flores and continue by lonely road to the lodge within the national park, its grounds often swarming with exotic mammals and bird life. You will be escorted on a tour of the archaeological ruins.
Day 2: Since you are staying close to the entrance, you may revisit the park in the morning, before all the day trippers arrive. As dawn breaks you can see and hear the wildlife as it awakens: toucans, parrots and spider monkeys are rampant.
Day 3: Transfer back to the airport and fly back to Guatemala City. Stay at Hotel Barceló near the fashionable Zona Viva with its museums, art galleries, cafés and boutiques.
Day 4: Continue your holiday or return to the airport for your international flight.
Breakfast daily, lunch day 1.

Contadora is the most notable of the Pearl Islands with a current population of around 250 inhabitants. This was where the Spanish counted the pearls which were harvested from the other islands in the archipelago; hence the name of the island, which means 'counter' or 'book-keeper' in Spanish.
The islands produced pearls of many colours and sizes, and during the many years when pearls were harvested from the waters around the islands, the indigenous population would converge on Contadora to count their pearls and sell them to the Spaniards.
Today, Contadora is home to several small hotels, a clutch of restaurants, eight beautiful beaches and many luxurious holiday homes. The island´s roads area paved and most visitors and inhabitants travel around in golf carts (if not walking) and private planes. You will be met at the ferry terminal by a representative of your guesthouse and escorted to the accommodation.
Gerald´s Bed & Breakfast has just eight well-appointed guest rooms. The restaurant is one of the best on the island (there are currently 5) with a varied menu including German specialties – the proprietor is German. The roof top terrace has a small swimming pool and offers views of the Pacific Ocean. Playa Larga, one of the island´s most beautiful beaches is just 3 minutes' walk away and it is also within walking distance of the ferry´s usual landing place.
Day 1: Your ferry ride to Contadora island takes about two hours.
Days 2,3: Enjoy days at leisure on the island's white sand beaches or book optional tours such as trips round the island, snorkelling, dolphin and humpback whale-watching (July – Oct), deep sea fishing, diving, and early morning nature walks. The island is indented with pretty sandy bays, while inland you'll find verdant woodland. The island's tiny airstrip runs down across spine.
Day 4: Continue your holiday or transfer to the airport for your international flight.

Panama's cultural heartland, the Azuero Peninsula, has a heady mix of indigenous heritage, contemporary Spanish-inspired culture and cattle-raising. The region certainly sits slap bang in the centre of the country, on the Pacific side. The Azuero Peninsula has a rich history dating back to pre-Columbian indigenous groups, with many artefacts and ceremonial sites uncovered by archaeologists. The indians did not survive the Spanish invasion though, and nowadays there is a distinctly Hispanic tradition, best observed in the region's festivals and colonial architecture.
Day 1: It's a 4hr shared road transfer from Panama City to Chitre, capital of the Herrera province.
Day 2: On today's guided excursion you will be introduced to the cultural traditions of the Azuero Peninsula. Visit a family house where grotesque devil masks are made; a local drum maker who uses razor sharp chisels to hollow out cylindrical cuts of wood and call in on a potter who has been spinning his wheel manually for decades. At the home of a maker of pollera dresses - introduced by the colonial Spanish - sometimes it is a man who was does the sewing. In each place you have the chance at trying your hand at the craft yourself.
Day 3: Urracá, 'the Lord of the Wind, Rain and Thunder', was a chieftain who resisted the invasion of the Spanish conquistadors in the 16th century, defeating them on several occasions. Exploring Urracá's territory you visit his statue before continuing towards San Francisco de la Montaña where you visit the church, a 1727 jewel of baroque art with hundreds of hand-carved altar pieces demonstrating a fusion between Spanish Catholicism and indigenous culture. Continue to the San Juan river canyon and La Yeguada lagoon for a short hike through the forest and a swim in the waterfall.
Day 4: Return to Panama City to continue your holiday or to the city's airport for your international flight.
3 days from £670pp
Spend a few days combining relaxing beach-time with an insight into one of Panama's most distinctive cultures, that of the semi-autonomous Kuna (also known nowadays as Guna) indians.
San Blas is a necklet of hundreds of coral islands lying off the Caribbean coast and stretching 200km to the border with Colombia, ranging from tiny islets with a cluster of palms to larger, inhabited islands. The Kuna, farmers, fishermen and traders, are notably spiritual and maintain a deeply traditional lifestyle here. The Kuna, famous for their are famous for their bright molas, a colorful textile art form used in the blouses of the Kuna women's national dress, which is worn daily by many Kuna women. It's a fascinating lifestyle with which you will have the privilege of getting acquainted. Day 1: Take an early morning 50min flight by light aircraft to Playón Chico airstrip. You'll be staying at Yandup Lodge, with simple, understated but comfortable bamboo-constructed beds with bright fabrics, a ceiling fan, private bathrooms (no hot water - this is the tropics) ,and a hammock on the veranda. The dining room overlooks the Caribbean, as almost everything does, and all meals are served en famille.
Day 2: Spend time alongside the Kuna and enjoy relaxing on the pearly white beaches, where the glass-clear water invites you to snorkel out to the coral reef.
Day 3: Return by canoe to the airstrip and fly back to Panama City to connect with your flight home or continue your holiday.
Lunch and dinner day 1, full board day 2, breakfast day 3.
