		<description>Two new studies show why some people are more attractive for members of the opposite sex than others. 
 
The University of Florida, Florida State University found that physically attractive people almost instantly attract the attention of the interlocutor, sobesednitsy with them, literally, it is difficult to make eye. This conclusion was reached by a series of psychological experiments, which were determined by the people who believe in sending the first seconds after the acquaintance. Here, a curious feature: single, unmarried experimental preferred to look at the guys, beauty opposite sex, and family, people most often by representatives of their sex. 
 
The authors believe that this feature developed a behavior as a result of the evolution: a man trying to find a decent pair to acquire offspring. If this is resolved, he wondered potential rivals. Detailed information about this magazine will be published Journal of Personality and Social Psychology. 
 
In turn, a joint study of the Rockefeller University, Rockefeller University and Duke University, Duke University in North Carolina revealed that women are perceived differently by men smell. During experiments studied the perception of women one of the ingredients of male pheromone-androstenona smell, which is contained in urine or sweat. 
 
The results were startling: women are part of this repugnant odor, and the other part is very attractive, resembling the smell of vanilla, and the third group have not felt any smell. The authors argue that the reason is that the differences in the receptor responsible for the olfactory system, from different people are different. 
 
It has long been proven that mammals (including human) odor is one way of attracting the attention of representatives of the opposite sex. A detailed article about the journal Nature will publish.</description>

		<description>[...] We attended a Birds of a Feather HyperText post-conference meeting at Santa Cruz State U that featured Dr. Doug Engelbart (he is considered to be one of the inventors of the Hypertext). Doug spoke about his life story, which has centered not so much on technology but on how humans use technology to augment their knowledge and alter their perception of reality. A central and guiding theme to all his pioneering work in technology has been a 40 plus year process of evolving the concept of improving Collective Intelligence or what does refers to as Collective IQ. He sees this as focused on two main and complementary themes, the development of Networked Improvement Communities and Hypertext systems. Another highlight of the event was a firsthand account from Valerie Landau, a multi media professor from Cal State Monterrey about Networked Improvement Communities (NICs). She has developed the NIC program working with Doug and an another professor at Indiana State University. The NIC program is an interdisciplinary approach to learning that is designed to augment the collective IQ of humanity. You can find more about Hypertext and NIC as well as all the other associated concepts and theories by going to Doug Englebart&#8217;s website. A major goal of our work is to develop a platform for the NIC program that would fit into the oneVillage Initiative (OVI). This will include an integrated package of ICT hardware including, video conferencing satellite and/or wireless connectivity. [...]</description>
