 The most common places to pick were in offices and cars. While 22% indulged 2 to 5 times a day, 1% picked compulsively— medically known as rhinotillexomania.
A similar recent survey in India found the rule of thumb to be four times a day. About 8% of responders were prize pickers, probing their nasal passages more than twenty times a day. And, a whopping 17% confessed to having a nose-picking problem.
Not only can our noses smell, they can sometimes be smelly. If your nose gives off a foul odor, you might not notice it, but others certainly will. |

 Kraepelin's lab, which struggled financially, was in competition with the German Psychiatric Clinic in Prague, Czechoslovakia, run by Arnold pick, for whom Pick's disease, a progressive disorder of the brain, is named. The two labs were juggernauts in the study of neuropsychiatry and neuropathology, and, as major rivals tend to do, competed over who would be Europe's arbiter of mental psychosis.
In 1907, Pick's coworker Otto Fischer had published interesting findings on the same amyloid brain plaques that Alzheimer had observed in Auguste D., but did not support a separate diagnosis. |

 The first spring pick makes the best tea. Frequency of picking depends on weather, fertilization of the soil, pruning, and so forth. The tea leaves should be picked dry, but this is not always possible, and large quantities of low-grade material result from "rains teas." The industry might be better off if these inferior grades were thrown onto the compost heap.
The picked leaves can be turned into three different products, though each estate tries to concentrate on one speciality. |

 When other children touch those surfaces, they pick up some eggs. Eventually, those curious fingers make their way into mouths and some eggs are ingested orally, worms hatch in the small intestine, migrate to the large intestine, and begin the cycle again. Pinworms live only in humans—contrary to popular belief, they can't be caught from any other animal (although their eggs could easily be picked up from the fur of a pet that had been touched by a person with eggs on his or her fingers). |

 If you have only AM tuning capability, you can't pick up any FM stations. Move the dial a little and you move from listening to 93.5 to 95.3. Each of these frequencies reveals different information. The NES-Professional System is the receiver that can pick up a range of signals (about 145 tests in each scan, so it's like listening to 145 stations at once) that your body-field is constantly broadcasting. ?

 If a CCD camera could pick up the light from the most distant of stars, it might also be able to pick up the faint light coming off living things. However, this kind of equipment can cost hundreds of thousands of dollars and usually had to be cooled to temperatures only 100 degrees above absolute zero, to eliminate any ambient radiation emitted at room temperature. Cooling the camera down also helped to improve its sensitivity to faint light. Where on Earth was he going to get hold of this kind of high-tech equipment? |

 It is easier for a newcomer to pick either paired structures to compare, such as a point on the right shoulder and the identical point on the left shoulder. This allows you to note the differences in movement from side to side. Then, when you pick your first point on the problem or target area, you have a reference for how the normal side feels.
As you hold the two points, feel the connection between them. Feel and imagine that you are just working with photons or light. There is no body there, nothing solid except for your focus on the two points. |

 Where enough runoff accumulates, flowing sheets of water can pick up and transport soil, carving small channels, called rills, which collect into larger, more erosive gullies—the name for incised channels large enough that they cannot be plowed over. On steep slopes, intense or sustained rainfall can saturate soil enough to trigger landsliding.
Wind can pick up and erode dry soil with sparse vegetation cover. While many of these processes operate in a landscape, the dominant process varies with the topography and climate. |

 As for the notion that major depression is associated with increased creativity: if one is truly depressed, one doesn't pick up a pen, a brush, a camera, or conduct a scientific experiment. One lies in bed, too ill to even moan. The only thing one might pick up is a razor blade after feeling slightly better. I do, however, believe that some small minority of people, assuming they survive a significant depression with their faculties intact, are bothered enough by things as they are that they are then motivated to create something new.

| Growers try to pick melons when they are ripe but still firm, so they will be less likely to suffer damage during shipping. Inevitably, this practice results in some melons being picked too early. Melons picked before they are ripe will never reach their full flavor potential because they have virtually no internal reserves of starch before ripening. That means that once they are cut from the vine, they cannot grow sweeter. Although the texture of their flesh will soften as pectic substances in their cell walls become more soluble, their complex taste will not develop. |

| The American champion of the lobotomy, Walter Freeman, roamed the country as a veritable Johnny Appleseed of the technique, to which he added his own refinements, which amounted to jamming an ice pick through the patient's eye sockets and destroying the frontal lobes. In 1951, Freeman visited psychiatric hospitals in seventeen states and conducted demonstrations of his work in Puerto Rico, Curacao, and Canada. Freeman became able to perform a surgery in less than ten minutes and perfected the technique so that he could insert picks into both eyes at once. |

 California decided to "hire" five hundred monkeys to pick his plums? Unfortunately, the cost savings in labor he thought would happen didn't really materialize. His new "hired hands" ate all of the plums they picked!
What's the Story?
Prunes are dried plums like raisins are dried grapes. Four of the most common varieties are French, Imperial, Italian, and Greengage. In recent years, the term "dried plums" has been used by industry on packaging in place of prunes, which carries some stigma among the last few generations of Americans. |

| To his credit, he recognized that although renormalization helped physicists pick a good theory, it didn't help them explain why that theory was the correct one to explain the real world.
Although most physicists jumped on the point-particle theory bandwagon, a few dissenters continued to look for alternatives, sticking more closely to field or wave theories. In the mid-1980s, two frontier theories emerged that solved the infinities problem in new ways: John G. Cramer's transactional interpretation (TI) and Wolff's space resonance theory. |

 Their cell walls are thin enough to allow nutrients and oxygen to pass through to the cells of the body, and to pick up carbon dioxide along with a certain amount of waste products from the cells. 3. Veins, which convey blood toward the heart, carry de-oxygenated blood primarily loaded with carbon dioxide. |

 He would use an ice pick to poke a hole in the bony orbit above each eye and then insert it seven centimeters deep into the brain. At that point, he would move behind the patient's head and pull up on the ice pick to destroy the frontal-lobe nerve fibers.53 With this new method, Freeman reasoned it wasn't necessary to sterilize the operating field and waste time with that "germ crap." The use of anesthesia could also be eliminated. Instead, he would knock patients out with electroshock before hammering the ice pick through their eye sockets. |

| You intend to connect with a person who is physically distant from you to do something, perhaps send a corrective healing frequency or pick up useful information about the state of that person's health, but intention still is only the connection point. Something more is going on that is allowing information transfer to take place. Although remote viewing and other parapsychology experiments had shown evidence that intention actually worked to connect people and things, it was a decidedly imprecise and hit-or-miss approach. |

 And when you feel this sense of renewal, don't be surprised to find you're suddenly inclined to rearrange your bookcases, give a dinner party, or pick up that tennis racket that's been moldering in the front hall closet. Those activities, in turn, prompt your genes to send still more pleasure signals.

| Yet somehow a remote viewer's mind was able to "find" the target, to pick it out of all the possible targets. For all practical purposes, the number of possible targets was nearly infinite, because the target could be anything: a planet in the solar system, a person, an exotic new technology, a secret document, a building, or a location. Setting up an intention seemed to connect a remote viewer to an energy web in the universe over which information could be imparted. |

 Spotting the giant fruit at the top of the tree, a slender young girl with a big toothy smile began to climb to pick the mangos. As she wrapped her arms and legs around the tree and started up, some of the other children grabbed stones from the ground and threw them at her yelling, "Lawbreaker! Lawbreaker!"
Crying and scared, she came down from the tree as fast as she could.
You see, the slender girl with the big smile was a baby when the law was passed forbidding anyone to pick the magnificent mangos. As a matter of fact, several of the children there that day had never heard of the law. |

| Not only will you have to set them down and pick them up every time you need to get something off a shelf, but by the end of the shopping trip you'll be carrying your gathered goodies back to camp (actually the car), just like your forefathers. Your genes will be delighted.
PUTTING SAYINGS INTO ACTION
What does all this mean for you in practical terms? Our ancestors lifted, pulled, wrestled, and sprinted after things; they also walked long distances. The more you duplicate these actions, the more your genes will identify your behavior as that of a successful animal. |
| It's a lot faster to walk out your back door and pick up some eggs, milk a goat, or kill a sheep than to have to hunt for your food. Raising animals was a biggie, but the domestication of grains was the real turning point in population growth and social history. Now there was micronutrient-dense, calorie-dense plant food that humans could cultivate when and where they wished, as well as store and transport. Grains allowed humans to survive and thrive. More humans, more genetic copies; your genes were and continue to be delighted with this turn of events.
But not so fast. |
| As far as your genetic program is concerned, why send out recycling trucks to pick up fat, if you're giving instructions to your liver to manufacture and store it for the winter?
On the other hand, when you activate the "Winter Is Now" program, your liver assumes it is winter, stops manufacturing fat-transporting LDL, and ramps up production of the HDL recycling trucks to move fat out of storage. |

| Dowsers, using various methods, but today usually employing wooden or metal rods as "antennas" to pick up energies, can detect where the best place might be to drill a water well or to prospect for oil or minerals. The energies dowsers are able to detect are not measurable by conventional standards, such as in terms of frequency or amplitude, so scientists, for the most part, dismiss them and their techniques, although modern businesses, especially those of the mining and petroleum industries, have used dowsers for decades. |

 Carpets are comfortable on the feet, and can be treated with chemicals that will kill mites living in them, but vacuuming does not pick up mites very successfully from carpet. An alternative is to have wooden, tiled or linoleum floors throughout the house (especially the bedrooms), which do not harbour mites.
Dust mites need reasonable humidity in order to survive and many asthmatics find their asthma improves when they holiday in mountainous areas. This is because high mountain air is very dry and the dust mite population is consequently very low. |

 Snack time is not for "thinking": You want to just grab and go. pick two (no more than four) and you're set. You can change your choices in a short 2 weeks' time. I'll list some typical snacks here but don't forget to check out the complete list on page 213 and slot them into your weekly menu plan. Bear in mind that these snacks amount to about 120-150 calories each. If you don't have access to one of the suggested SuperFoods snacks, you can select a snack of that equivalent in calories. |

 They had to locate a seedy Boston warehouse to pick it up, and then the seats of their SUV wouldn't lay flat, so the trainer stuck out the back as rain poured down during the drive home. It must have weighed two hundred pounds, that soggy box, and wrestling it inside the house was just the beginning of Tony's work for the evening.
