Paranormal EMF, the Entity and other Phenomena

This article is a discussion of Paranormal EMF. Entities or ghosts are creators of paranormal EMF. This created electromagnetic fields display certain symptoms. This will help you deal with such distractions in haunted houses, rented houses, hotel rooms and other places.
Introduction

A paranormal EMF (Electro Magnetic Field) is a field created by a ghost or entity. Such a ghost or entity may exist in haunted places or may visit places of its interest especially at nights. Spirits require energy fields to thrive. They require energy from the atmosphere. This is atmospheric energy. Lunar phases, geomagnetic storms, solar flares are environments for paranormal activity. The full moon triggers not only paranormal activity, but also reactions among animals.

Electrical equipment are also known to be abodes of paranormal entities or ghosts. Paranormal investigators are known to use electromagnetic field meters, which can detect these activities. These are also known as Gauss Meters, as they are measured in Gauss units. A base reading is between 2-3 milligaus. A fluctuation above or beyond this, can be construed as a ghost reading. In short, a fluctuation in a normal electromagnetic field, is a spirit or entity trying to manifest itself in the given energy field.

Electrical leakages can mislead many into believing, a place is haunted. Leaking electrical equipment can produce very high and strong electrical fields giving rise to nausea, headaches, anxiety, paranoia and hallucinations. This is similiar to effects of strong electromagnetic equipments such as powerful cellular phones or cellular towers.

How to Use EMF Detectors for Paranormal EMF

To detect paranormal EMF, one should sweep the given area with the EMF meter for the base reading. The base reading is the reading for a given area. Fluctuations to this base reading becomes the paranormal EMF reading. Higher fluctuation's indicate higher amounts of activity.

Before using an EMF detector, be sure to check for all present electromagnetic devices. These are cellular phones, microwave ovens, infrared equipments. All these can generate false readings.

Cold Spots

Cold spots are areas in a place, where entities might occupy themselves. These are energy spots. These spots are generated due to atmospheric changes. Entities occupy these spots to derive atmospheric energy from these spots. These spots turn "cold" due to the entity absorbing the heat from these spots, turning them cold.

Entity

An entity is a spirit or ghost. It is the electromagnetic shadow of a dead person. A spirit is not the soul of a real person, as believed by many. It is only the manifestation of a dead person's being and it's desire to manifest in the place.

An entity reacts or manifests, according to the attachment it has to the place.

Apparitions

Apparitions are visual manifestations. These happen, when an entity requires a visual identity with the place. A strong sense of self in attachment to the place or an event can trigger a visual apparition. This is a very personal manifestation. Very much to do with an individual event or trauma. This can be very graphic. Including, display of features of the entity during its demise or its lifetime, like dressing.

Moving or Shaking Objects

This manifestation is attached to the place emotionally. It does not have a strong sense of self. It is strongly attached to the place of residence. It might not be able to consolidate its demise or exit from the place.

Wind

Gusts of wind are a phenomena noticed, when entities occupying objects or equipment are disturbed. If such objects are tried to be destroyed or dismantled, this winds would arise from middle of nowhere as a response.

Animals in Entity Manifesations

Some entities take the help of animals to secure their areas. This is a symbiotic relationship. Animals are sensitive to EMF. Hence, entities are able to manipulate them to secure their areas from tresspassers.

Birds

Animals such as birds are sensitive to EMF. They follow electromagnetic fields for their sense of direction. Entities might use this feature to their advantage. They might make birds to tap at doors or windows at odd hours to distract attention.

Flies

Flies are known to occupy highly strung EMF areas. They are known to buzz around occupants of a house or mansion to secure their area and also to control the inhabitants movement around the area.

Insects

Insects are known to cause severe bites in strong EMF areas. Precautions might include keeping antiseptic creams to prevent swellings and inflammations.

Conclusion:

Paranormal EMF are fluctuations in an area or space due to an entity occupying it. These fields can be detected by using EMF detectors. Cold spots are "energy" areas, where entities occupy themselves to derive atmospheric energy from them.

An entity is a shadow of a person who is no longer alive. It is not a real person. They are manifestations of dead people. They manifest in visual forms, in moving or shaking objects or as shadows. Wind is a penomena produced by an entity when it is disturbed or it's place of occupation is destroyed or damaged.

Entities can take help from animals to define their areas of occupation from occupants or tresspassers.

How to Withdraw Cash from an ATM

An ATM is an Automatic Teller Machine used to withdraw cash from your bank account. This article describes how to go about withdrawing cash from an ATM.

Getting Started  

An ATM is an Automatic Teller Machine used to withdraw cash from your bank account, at any given time of the day and year. You can withdraw cash at any time of the day irrespective of bank working hours.
ATM’s also allow you to deposit your cheques in its drop boxes placed inside them. These cheques are collected usually at 12.00 AM in the morning to be delivered to the bank’s clearing houses.
You can also use ATM’s to register for cheque book requests, Credit Card cash withdrawal, and for viewing your bank account balance.
To access an ATM, you require an ATM card and its PIN number. Both of these are provided by the bank, when a new account is opened by you. You are expected to carry this card along with the pin number to the ATM. ATM cards are debit cards of the respective banks and hence they only allow cash withdrawal by debit of the user’s bank account. They also double as shopping cards to be used at merchant locations.

A Description of the ATM

An Automatic Teller Machine is housed inside a security cabin and is guarded 24X7 by a security guard. Usually, ATM’s are placed in places convenient for people to access it. These places could be shopping malls, IT parks, city junctions, petrol pumps and bank branches.
Some ATM’s require you to insert the card into the card slot, while others require you to swipe the card in the card slot. The card slot reads the electronic strip on the ATM card to collect data of the user’s bank account.
Cameras placed inside the ATM allow for continuous surveillance of users for 24 hours of the day. Security guards man the ATM cabins and watch user movements and regulate the traffic of people entering and exiting the ATM. They also maintain queues during rush hours, such as lunch hours or after work hours.
ATM’s communicate with their parent bank branches by telecommunication lines dedicated for this purpose. They also have dedicated software’s installed inside them to service user requests.
Communication failures can seriously impair the workings of an ATM. At such points of time, users face a lot of inconvenience and have to look for other ATM locations for servicing their requests.
ATM’s are also targets of thefts after dark. Usually, these instances are relegated to those locations, which are unmanned and in remote locations. But, these thefts are detected faster and brought to book.

The steps for withdrawing cash

To withdraw cash from an ATM, you require:

1. An ATM Card.
2. The Pin number of the card.
3. Balance in your account.

You must:

1. Locate the ATM machine.
2. Enter into the ATM security cabin.
3. Insert your ATM card into the card slot.
4. Enter your pin number.
5. You must punch in your withdrawal amount.
6. And press the “Withdrawal” button.
7. The ATM produces cash from the cash slot.
8. You must collect the cash.
9. You can collect the transaction receipt from the receipt slot.
10. You must count the cash vended by the machine to ensure its correctness.

ATM’s charge a transaction fee for usage by other bank users, now amended rules say that there are no charges levied, so confirm with bank before cash withdrawal.. These transactions are only handled by select bank ATM’s such as Citibank. These ATM’s can handle international transactions of Visa and MasterCard.
You are not allowed to deposit cash into an ATM’s deposit envelope. Such transactions are rejected. ATM’s usually tender fresh bank notes as they have access to freshly printed notes from the RBI.
Users are charged an ATM card fee on a quarterly basis by banks for using their ATM services. Loss of card has to be reported to put a hold on the card. And, a new card has to be issued to the user. Banks charge a fee for issuing new cards.
ATM cards have a 16 digit ATM card number with an expiry date. This card number and its pin number are used by users to know their account balance on the phone. And, also to inquire details of their account and bank transactions.
ATM’s usually have a transaction withdrawal limit and a daily withdrawal limit. These withdrawal limits force user’s to perform multiple transactions to meet their cash demands.
ATM card thefts are common; hence a user is requested by banks to keep his card and the pin number safely. They are also requested to change their pin number frequently.
ATM cards are usually only for electronic use and hence cannot be used over the internet for shopping.
Each individual user is given only a single ATM card for use of his bank account. Multiple cards are rejected by ATM’s.
Comments
Thank you so much for the post. I've always just gone to the bank if I needed some cash, but I figure it's about time that I finally start using modern technology! Can you explain how fees work when it comes to ATM machines? Does it just cost a flat rate fee regardless of how much I spend, or do I get charged a percentage when I withdraw money? http://atmequipment.com

How To Handle A Snake Encounter

A Detailed Step By Step Procedure This is dedicated to readers who have to often take trips through forests or country sides known to be infested with snakes. It is also for hitchhikers and backpackers on their usual mountrain trail.

Introduction

Snakes are considered by many as perhaps the most dreadful of all animals that co-inhabit our planet. Fear about snakes prevails due to the total ignorance about these graceful, agile and useful creatures. Non-poisonous snakes do not pose any major problems for humans besides fear and sometimes being pests. Lack of basic knowledge about snakes, leads to `fear of the unknown' and then panic, which further leads to disastrous results.

Snakes, however, play important environmental roles in the fragile ecosystems and can play a very important role in agriculture. They control the population of harmful rodents and pests, thus helping people. Though sometimes dangerous, snakes can be useful, and, as any living creature, they have the right to exist.

Encounter

When you encounter a snake, always remember to stay calm. Stop in your steps. Do not turn away or try to run away. Trying both of these, distracts and panics the reptile to chase you further. Stay still, and stay focused on the animal.

Tools

The best things that can come handy are: a stick lying beside you or with you, a kerchief or towel or other thick clothing.

Video Tutorial

This video shows a large 6 foot rattle snake attacking a man. He handles it with a stick and a trash can.

Encounter Video

Step-by-Step instructions

1. Step One
When using a stick, push the stick on to its jaws. This helps to keep its fangs down. In the bushes, the fangs can move in any given directions. Try to hedge it with the stick.
2. Step Two

Try to move it away from you as far as possible. This might shoo-it away for good.

3. Step Three

If you do not possess a stick, but have a kerchief or a towel, you can still make use of it. This is both dangerous and tedious. In case you have to, you can use the kerchief or a towel to get hold of the scruff. Understand, to entirely cover your hand with the kerchief or towel or some other thick clothing, so it can hedge the bites. You will have to bend down for this. Once you get hold of the reptile, you can shed it away for good.

STATUTORY WARNING-"DO NOT TRY THIS PROCEDURE, IF YOU CANNOT HANDLE IT."
 X. Final Step

Push or throw the animal away, either in the bushes or away from the trails.

Snake Hook

Advanced Techniques

Snake hooks on trips can help for efficient snake combat. Also, bags or cans for holding them in, if you need to catch them for later removal. You can learn professional snake encounter's from professional snake catcher's or from video's as shown above.

How Not To Handle A Snake - Mistreatment

Your article would be laughable if it was not so seriously flawed and abusive.

Watching this mistreatment of a beautiful animal is very upsetting. Consider that by using a snare to lift a snake from the ground, you are hanging the full weight of the snake's body on a tiny portion of its vertebrae and squeezing tightly it's internal organs. This snake was certainly placed under severe stress and injured by such abuse. Also, provoking an attack is considered mistreatment. Neither of you deserves to have custody of this snake. Both of you should seriously consider what you are doing wrong here.

People who truly respect snakes do not molest or displace them. We certainly do not trap and make pets of wild animals so that we can make videos and demonize them by writing so-called authoritative 'handling of dangerous snakes articles' that spread misinformation and sadly are for the sole purposes of self-aggrandizement.

You can't claim that you did this for public safety or educational purposes because you are teaching people to mishandle and disrespect wildlife in a dangerous way that is a threat to both humans and the animal involved.

Step #3 reflects a flagrant, reckless ignorance of snakes in the wild, they will not give chase to nor would they hunt human beings, even if provoked. They will strike in response to human provocation, so don't disturb them! Snakes hunt rodents and will try and avoid human contact when a human comes upon them in the wild. Never surprise a snake. When climbing a rock formation, do not put your hands in places where you can't see.

The 'final step' for hikers and backpackers is never to bully a wild animal from its place in the wilderness or elsewhere. If the animal obstructs your path, you can go around or come back later.The wildlife ethic and demonstrations presented in this article are disgusting and should be removed!

Dogs & ButterFlies-The Senses

Hearing, Vision & Smell This article discusses the hearing, vision and smell capabilities of dogs and butterflies. It is a comparison, as well as a discussion of these capabilities.

Introduction

Visual Acuity

Dogs can identify humans in a range of a mile. They can see in low light conditions. Their eyes are designed with bigger pupils, which have more number of rods, which increases the flicker rate. It also has great reflectivity, which aids to catch images at fast moving rates. Dogs are dichromats and have color vision like red-green color blindness in humans. Many breeds are known to have myopic vision, and their distant vision imagery is as good as blurred. Though, their individual visual discrimination enables them to identify their owners from distances.

 Hearing

Dogs hear between 40 Hz to 60,000 Hz. They have great low light vision and hence can see clearly in the dark. They have a great ability to pin point locations of sound sources. They can hear sounds, about four times away from what humans hear. Some breeds have a field of vision of 270° (compared to 180° for humans), whereas the ones with short noses have a narrower field of vision, as low as 180°.

Smell

The human brain has a large visual cortex, whereas the dog brain is dominated by an olfactory cortex. The olfactory bulb in dogs is forty times bigger than the olfactory bulb in humans. Dogs have between 125 and 220 million smell-sensitive cells (compared to 5 million in humans). The bloodhound has nearly 300 million smell-sensitive receptors. Dogs can discriminate odors at concentrations nearly 100 million times lower than humans can.

Butterflies, unlike dogs, have antennae which can detect sight and sounds in the air. The vision is well developed and they are sensitive to ultra violet spectra. Butterflies have compound eyes, with which they can see around even when perched on a flower.

Vision

Butterflies like dogs are nearsighted, they see flowers more clearly than entire plants, bushes or shrubs.

Butterflies are color blind, unlike common thinking, which relates them to flower colors-such as red, green, and yellow. Instead, they can see polarized light, which is a reflection of the sun's rays. They are able to see ultraviolet light, which is present on many flowers and which guides them to nectar sources.

 

Smell

They have a good sense of smell. They do not have noses. The sense receptors are present in the antennae, feet, and many other parts of the body.These help butterflies find food-nectar in flowers. It also helps in mating. The female finds the male's pheromones by the sense receptors.

Sense organs in their feet can taste the sugar in nectar, letting them know if something is good to eat or not. Some females also taste host plants to test for places to lay eggs. Adult butterflies and moths feed themselves using their proboscis- a long, coiled tube. Blood is forced into the tube to straighten it out, allowing them to feed. They get all their food from this tube.

Hearing

They don't have ears. They "hear" sounds through their wings by sensing changes in sound vibrations. They may possess senses not known to us as their anatomy is very different than ours. This is an area which needs more research. And, hence is beyond human perception and knowledge yet. So, don't be surprised if you fail to catch one. And though, they may seem just before your eyes, they can disappear in a flurry of a second. Remember, they have senses smarter than us.

Dog Breeds

Hunting Dogs

Hunting dogs were once bred to help hunters in their pursuit of game in Persia and Egypt. They were known for their scent tracking of preys. They were the earliest dogs used in hunting. European hounds known as sight hounds were used for their amazing ability to chase down prey. Many breeds today are derivations of these natural born hunters.

These dogs never captured the prey they were chasing. They would only point their masters to the prey, so they could take them down.

Hound Dogs

These are known for their exceptional scent capabilities. Afghan Hound, Black Forest Hound, French Hound, Italian Greyhound, Redbone Coonhound are some hound breeds. These animals have great strength, power and are swift in movement. They are used today to track fugitives or criminals by law enforcement.

Bernese Hound

Search Dogs

Some dogs are used for searching people trapped under houses and debris in case of storms and hurricanes. In case of snow avalanches and earhquakes, the survivors are difficult to get to and these dogs make it possible to reach them.

Calamity survivor dogs include:
German Shepherd Dogs: These dogs are good for search-and-rescue operations.

• Saint Bernards: This dog is an excellent mountain guide with a keen sense for finding lost people on mountaintops. This breed can detect forthcoming avalanches.
• Rottweilers: These are also known as guard dogs. They are used for keeping watch at daytime and nights. They are used both at residential homes, large home estates, with guardsman at night duty.
• Newfoundlands: These are household pets nowadays. But initially they were trained to save people ship wrecked, marooned, or lost in ocean waters around NewFoundLand.

Saint Bernard's-Snow Avalanche Super Dog

Conclusion

Dogs and butterflies both have short sighted myopic visions. They are both color-blind, dogs are dichromats or with red-green color blindness. Butterflies see in polarized light from the sun's rays and ultra-violet spectra, which reflects off from surfaces of flowers. Hearing in dogs is acute and they can hear sounds four times away from humans. Butterflies do not have ears, and they hear from sound vibrations on their wings.

Dogs have better smell receptors from their olfactory cortex, which is forty times bigger than in humans. They can discriminate odors 100 million times from humans. Butterflies smell and taste things with their sense organs in their feet, antennae and body parts.

The Nature of Intelligence

Intelligence has been a much debated topic. Different reasons are attributed for the formation of intelligence in species. This article discusses intelligence in different species and tries to assess the reasons for the evolution of intelligence. It also tries to find the source of intelligence in intelligent life forms.

"Part of the trouble is that nobody knows what AI is. In fact, nobody even knows what I is. While consciousness is something we all have and enjoy every second of our waking lives, nobody knows how it all really works. A thought is as difficult to isolate from our mental experiences as a single breath of wind is from the weather."- Rupert Goodwins[1]

Introduction

Intelligence has always been a much debated topic, since Darwin’s theory of evolution[2]. Evolution lets different strains to take on different forms over a period of time. Genetics plays a big part in letting one species evolve into different species.

Human intelligence evolved over millions of years[3]. Dogs evolved from wolves[4]. The evolution of more intelligent species is genetically triggered.

Different Forms of Intelligence

Intelligence found among us are varied in nature. They are synonymous with life forms. Life forms without the ability to move around or locomotion and senses of communication are termed as non-intelligent. Life forms which can move around and have senses of communication such as hearing, smell, vision and taste are termed intelligent. Thus, bricks, houses, roads and vehicles are non-intelligent life forms, so are trees, plants, shrubs, and forests. Humans and animals are intelligent life forms.

Characteristics of Intelligence

The characteristics of inteligence are the following in the order of importance:

1. Locomotion.
2. Senses-Hearing, Smell, Sensation(Skin) and Speech.
3. Thought-Ability to perform actions.

Hence, this are characteristics of intelligence we can expect even among extra-terrestrial living beings.

Causes of Intelligence

Different reasons are attributed for formation of intelligence in species. The main causes are biological and environmental:

• Biological

Inheritance
Genetic variation has a significant impact on intelligence. Intelligence is seen as a product of interaction between different genes. Intelligence is co-related to brain structure and the genes shaping brain development.

• Environmental

Family environment conditions are known to affect intelligence levels in humans and animals. The need to compete and survive develops new faculties of intelligence among life forms.

Animal Intelligence

Animals too display intelligence in different ways. This is known as Animal Cognition. Apes are known to be most intelligent among animals. This was perhaps also the reason, man evolved from among them. Wolves are known to be a species with great hunting skills-night vision, smell and hearing. This was the reason dogs evolved from them.

Octopus Opening Jar Video!

Wolfgang Köhler has a book on the intelligence of apes. Stanley Coren's book, "The Intelligence of Dogs" is a notable popular book on the topic. Chimpanzees and bonobos (using the Kanzi language) are known to be able to communicate. Dolphins, elephants among mammals and parrots and ravens among birds are also know to show such properties.

Cephalopod intelligence are also known to display certain intelligence. Cephalopods appear to exhibit characteristics of significant intelligence, though their nervous systems differ radically from those of most other notably intelligent life-forms (mammals and birds).

Animal Intelligence Study

Artificial Intelligence

Artificial intelligence (or AI) is both the intelligence of machines and the branch of computer science which aims to create it, through "the study and design of intelligent agents" or "rational agents", where an intelligent agent is a system that perceives its environment and takes actions which maximize its chances of success. General intelligence or strong AI has not yet been achieved and is a long-term goal of AI research.

Among the traits that researchers hope machines will exhibit are reasoning, knowledge, planning, learning, communication, perception and the ability to move and manipulate objects.

Links:

What is Artificial Intelligence?

Conclusion

Intelligence is a feature of life forms. This intelligence is not found in life less forms such as brick houses, vehicles, tables and chairs as also trees, shrubs and plants. Much of intelligence is known to be connected with thought. And, thought is known to be a figment of the sub-conscious. Hence, intelligence can be said to be a form of the sub conscious. Evolution and genetics play an important role in deciding intelligence.

Animal intelligence is seen among chimpanzees, dogs, and elephants among mammals. Parrots and ravens among birds. Octopuses and squids among cephalapods.

Artificial intelligence is a goal to develop intelligence in machines. Great hopes are vested in this goal. Most of this intelligence presently hovers around logical decision making, communication, ability to understand commands and to carry out physical tasks and jobs.
