Police have sealed off a search area this week nearby the resort where Madeleine McCann disappeared seven years ago in May. Police will be using radar equipment to look for anomalies in the ground.
I have always believed the McCanns are innocent (click on the tags below to read my thoughts over the years).
What do you think?

In this picture, we have oblique eyebrows which are suggestive of sadness and/or stress.
When we look for other indicators of sadness, we can see a slight gloss and redness to the eye, which could be suggestive of tears and sadness, but dry hot weather and searing sun could create the same effect on the eyes.
There is clearly tension in the mans face, neck and shoulders.
So the most we can say from this photo is that this person is likely stressed, and could be sad, but we cannot say sad for certain from this photo alone.
Many of you have asked that I share my thoughts on Edward Snowden and I have thought long and hard about it.
I have finally made a decision, and I am hesitant to do so because I believe this is a very emotional subject. When people are emotional, their ability to be logical and hence spot the truth plummets. Science has studied this and found emotions trump reasoning nearly every time. And when people are emotional and don’t agree with me, they lash out, and I’d prefer not to go there.
Thank you for understanding.

What emotion do you notice in the first half of this video?
Hint: It’s fleeting!
The answer will be provided in the comment section in the next couple of days!
If you aren’t in Australia, you may not have heard about Prime Minister Tony Abbott’s wink and smile when answering questions by a caller on the radio about changes in the budget.
An Australian reader has asked me what I see when I watch Abbott’s behavior.
I’ve read through some news articles to see what the Prime Minister’s response was to his own actions, and found an article where he claims to have been distracted by his co-host, off screen. I’m not buying that story at all, if it is in fact what he claims.
In another article, it’s reported that a spokesperson for Abbott told Fairfax Media that the wink was simply done to show the co-host he’d take the question. Then why the smile? I’m not buying that either.
I see Abbott’s behavior and response as simply displaying his amusement with what the older lady does to supplement her income, and he is communicating that to his co-host.
His behavior isn’t showing that he is taking the caller serious–that’s for sure–instead it’s flippant. I can understand why people are outraged at his response.
