A lie detector test that reveals the truth of the statements by the movement of the retina of the eyes

Investigadores University of Utah, USA, are developing a lie detector test that reveals the truth of the statements by the movement of the retina of the eyes.
The technology used is the eye tracking, a pioneer in the field, and appears as an alternative to traditional polygraph used to detect lies.
Instead, he uses eye movement to detect lies, and instead of measuring the emotional reaction of a person, the technology of eye tracking measures the person's cognitive reaction.
To complete the test, researchers recorded the number of measurements before the true and false responses on a computer. The measures include pupil dilation, the response time, time reading and rereading, and errors.
The researchers concluded that the lie that people have more work than to tell the truth, for a dishonest person has dilated pupils and takes longer to read and answer questions.
The reactions are measured in minutes.
"The method of tracking the eye to detect lies has great potential," said Gerald Sanders, one of the researchers of the project.
"It's a national security issue for our government agencies should have the best and most advanced methods for distinguishing truth from fiction, and we believe we are addressing this need for special licensing of research conducted at the University of Utah," adds.

Eye Telescope Aproved

After five years, the Food and Drug Administration finally approved after a telescope eye degeneration makulêre treat the leading cause of blindness in the U. S. The Implantable Miniature Telescope (IMT) was developed by VisionCare Ophthalmic Technologies, Inc. Centrasight as part of a new system of care for patients dealing with end-stage age-related makulêre degeneration (AMD).

More than 10 million people in the U.S. alone suffer makulêre degeneration which is the biggest cause of blindness in people older than 55 years. Of those, 1.7 million suffer from advanced AMD, which had little or no clinical response to date. AMD is a disease of the central retina or macula, the part of the eye that can explain and more distinct, fundamental skills such as recognizing faces, too. For many, the central vision is blurred or completely dark, which prevented all the daily activities. Visual impairment suffered in the final stages of AMD, which both eyes are at an advanced stage of the disease often leads to loss of independence and isolation of patients.

The implant is adjustable to improve visual acuity by reducing the impact of the blind spot. The IMT, a device smaller than a pea, is surgically implanted in a cornea and acts an input image is too large for the peripheral parts of the retina that are damaged. Central vision is to be better in one eye while the other still more about the peripheral vision for mobility and orientation to receive.

The Swiss authorities rejected the U.S. request to extradite the director

The Swiss authorities rejected the U.S. request to extradite the director, Roman Polanski and repealed the measures which restrict their freedom, as the use of electronic bracelet and house arrest in the village of Gstaad. The Swiss Justice Minister and the Police stated that the decision is not subject to appeal. The filmmaker is free provided they do not step on U.S. territory, from which he fled in the 70s.
The director, producer and screenwriter, 76, "will not be extradited to the United States and the measures to restrict their freedom to be lifted," said the minister Eveline Widmer-Schlumpf, in Bern, before the journalists.
For the decision were considered the "lingering doubts concerning the presentation of the facts of the case," he added. The minister cautioned that there is no question "whether Polanski is guilty or innocent."
Widmer-Schlumpf pointed to the refusal of U.S. officials to convey the verbal process of a hearing at Los Angeles prosecutor Roger Gunson. The aim of the action would, according to Swiss authorities, "whether the 42 days that Roman Polanski went on the psychiatric ward of a prison in California covering the full prison sentence that (the director) should follow."
"We can not exclude with certainty desired, that Roman Polanski has already served the penalty imposed earlier and that the extradition request is suffering from an addiction (legal) serious", argue the Swiss.

Bogota - Former presidential candidate and former hostage of the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC), Ingrid Betancourt, said that despite asking for a compensation of $ 6,800,000 for more than six years in exile in forest has no intention to a lawsuit to submit to the Colombian government to get money.
Court accused the government helped ease their isolation, said that the bodyguards who accompanied her were dismissed, but it was a presidential candidate, and there was no authorization for it to fly a helicopter on the road by the rebels controlled , where he was caught.
The explanation of the Court, on American television in the first time on Sunday, came two days after the disclosure that she had opened a claim for compensation on 30 June. By law, it has the option to sue the government if they disagree with the amount they need to accept.
The former candidate, 48, said during a television interview that she intends to seek compensation - both for her and her mother and her two children - is "the way for other people who were kidnapped a job to get compensation . 'She explained, "the idea was never my people free to attack."

American investigators have discovered two antibodies

American investigators have discovered two antibodies capable of blocking in the laboratory, most types of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), paving the way for an effective vaccine against AIDS, says a study published in the journal Science.

More than a quarter century on the identification of HIV, accounting for about 30 million deaths, the search for a vaccine against the infection has not been successful, despite the efforts of the international scientific community.
According to the authors of the paper to be published tomorrow, the two antibodies discovered - and VRCO1 VRCO2 - showed a high potential to prevent infection of human cells to about 90 percent of circulating strains of HIV.
The researchers also demonstrated the biological mechanism by which antibodies block the virus.
"The discovery of these antigens with exceptional powers in the neutralization of HIV and the analysis of how they operate represent breakthroughs that will accelerate our efforts to find a vaccine to protect broadly against the AIDS virus", welcomed Anthony Fauci, Director of Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, U.S., who co-directed the research teams.
In a statement quoted by news agency AFP, the director stressed that the technique used by research teams to discover these antibodies represents a new approach that can be applied to the design or development of vaccines against other infectious diseases. "
Virologists have discovered these antibodies produced naturally by the body in the blood of an HIV-positive. Then managed to isolate them through a new molecular tool.
After this discovery, researchers began developing the components of a vaccine that can teach the human immune system to produce large amounts of antibodies similar to antibodies and VRCO1 VCRO2.

The botton kill technique consists of injecting a high dose of mud and cement through wells of support. This strategy is considered difficult and dangerous, but already has a significant record in estancagem wells.
Speaking to U.S. newspaper Wall Street Journal (WSJ), Bob Dudley, director of BP's operational involvement in the Gulf of Mexico, said: "In a perfect world without interruptions, can be prepared for the pit stop between 20 and July 27. " However, the operation is now endangered by the hurricane season for the Atlantic area, which officially started on June 1st.
Yesterday, a new tropical depression formed in the Gulf of Mexico, reaching winds of 55 km / h, this depression that came even more disturbing to clean the spill.
Meanwhile, the oil group will put into practice a series of contingency plans in an attempt to stanch the spill as soon as possible. One of these plans is to link the wells of a pipeline to an existing pipeline on the seabed.
On July 20, BP plans to issue a report of the whole process so far made in order to solve the problem. According to the WSJ, is also the day that British Prime Minister David Cameron will go to Washington to discuss with President Barack Obama the future of the BP Group.
