Added more media links at bottom to articles by me or articles by others mentioning my research.
- June 25, 2008:
Added new links above "Nobel Prize Winner Supports" boxed section:
"Article mentioning magnetite deposits in birds and the discovery of a magnetic field-sensing molecule: Molecular Action May Help Keep Birds on Course.
See also Cryptochrome and Magnetic Sensing."
- June 6, 2008:
Added a link to "Custom-cut" in the following sentence in the introduction: "Custom-cut viscoelastic Sorbothane pads dampen seismic disturbances."
I purchased Sorbothane pads from the Edmund Scientific catalog, cut them with a metal ruler and razor into squares, and stacked them on top of each other. They stick together easily and can be pulled apart. Care has to be taken with tall stacked blocks, as they have a tendency to want to fall over. Wider stacks do not equal more shock absorption. The center of the pad has to be found. I sharpened screws to a point and attached them to the bottom of the wood leg stands. I put a small fiber or brass washer on top of each of the pads so that the points would not penetrate deeply. The sharpened points further reduced the ability of seismic waves to travel up the wood stand to the piezo film sensor.

Added new quotation block in top section titled: "Nobel Prize Winner Supports Psychokinesis Research."
(Serious PK research in general, not necessarily my research.)
