  In this article we are going to take a quick look at the marriage of science and psi, or the process of studying psychic phenomenon under the microscope of serious intellectual inquiry, rather than for entertainment value alone. For most of us, psychic phenomena simply serves a side dish of silly, fun and a daily diversion from the seriousness of our own lives. Many people read their daily horoscopes in the newspaper, others visit sidewalk soothsayers in the hope of simply getting a little window of possibility into the wild and wooly world of the unknown and mysterious.


For a small select group of scientists and parapsychologists, this serious inquiry surpasses that of the occasional lighthearted look, and instead has become the focus of their lives work, their PASSION, their purpose and their primary field of study.

By John Myre

  Liz and seventeen-month-old Cade had a wonderful day at the zoo. When they returned to the car, Liz strapped the toddler into the child safety seat, which unfortunately also held some food crumbs.


As Liz drove away, Cade began screaming uncontrollably. Liz tried to calm him, but nothing would work, so she wisely headed directly to the doctor's office.

It didn't take the doctor long to discover the problem - Cade had been stung inside his diaper by a bee lured through the open windows of the car by the sweet smell of food.

After the stinger was removed, and a few more tears were shed, Cade was once again the bubbly, enthusiastic boy that everyone loved.

Stinging insects! We can't live without them, so we'd better learn to live with them. Here are a few tips.
