Men in committed relationships choose to keep a greater distance between themselves and an unknown woman they find attractive when given the hormone oxytocin, according to new research in the November 14 issue of The Journal of Neuroscience. The findings suggest oxytocin may help promote fidelity within monogamous relationships.
Oxytocin plays a vital role in triggering childbirth and facilitating nursing. The hormone, which is produced in a region of the brain called the hypothalamus, is also involved in the formation of social bonds. In humans and other animals, this brain chemical is known to promote bonds between parents and children, and between couples. Additionally, previous studies have shown oxytocin increases trust among people. However, scientists had yet to determine what, if any, role oxytocin played in maintaining monogamous human relationships.
In the current study, led by René Hurlemann, MD, PhD, of the University of Bonn, researchers found that men in committed relationships who were given oxytocin kept a greater distance when approaching or being approached by an unknown woman they found attractive compared with those given a placebo. In contrast, oxytocin had no effect on single men.
"Previous animal research in prairie voles identified oxytocin as major key for monogamous fidelity in animals," Hurlemann said. "Here, we provide the first evidence that oxytocin may have a similar role for humans."
Researchers administered oxytocin or placebo via a nasal spray to a group of healthy, heterosexual males. Forty-five minutes later, the men were introduced to a female experimenter that they later described as "attractive." As the experimenter moved toward or away from the study volunteers, the men were asked to indicate when the experimenter was at an "ideal distance" as well as when the experimenter moved to a distance that felt "slightly uncomfortable."
"Because oxytocin is known to increase trust in people, we expected men under the influence of the hormone to allow the female experimenter to come even closer, but the direct opposite happened," Hurlemann said. The researchers found oxytocin led the men in committed relationships, but not those who were single, to keep a greater distance (10-15 cm) between themselves and the woman.
The effect of oxytocin on the monogamous men was the same regardless of whether the female experimenter maintained eye contact or averted her gaze, or if the men were the ones approaching or withdrawing from the experimenter. Oxytocin also had no effect on the men's attitude toward the female experimenter — both those who received the oxytocin and the placebo rated the female experimenter as being equally attractive.
In a separate experiment, the researchers found oxytocin had no effect on the distance men kept between themselves and a male experimenter.
"In monogamous prairie voles, we know that oxytocin plays an important role in the formation of the pair bond," said Larry Young, PhD, an expert on oxytocin at Emory University who was not involved in the study. "This study suggests that the general role of oxytocin in promoting monogamous behavior is conserved from rodents to man."

Ya know. Its funny cause one good sniper rifle could end Harry. Funny. I'm curious about the position that Dresden is in.

Much is going on it seems. The prophets move and are almost ageless. I wonder when they will be killed off then. Meeting Harry Dresden was a cool move. And in such a way to boot. Harry Peverell will need to learn how to take care of his pets. A little loving never hurt anyone.

Wow. I'm not surprised it got this far. I'm only happy that at least it won't end in bloodshed between the Mokuton and the Sharingan again. Its nice to see a possibility for a good future. I'm curious personally if with this the souls of Asura and Indra are part of the two making them have even more potential than any even can possibly imagine. More power to be. I note Isabelle seems to still be on good terms. Opening still for Isabelle to be inducted into this delightful group more thoroughly I wonder.

Wow. Croaker and Albus are so far gone they would even kill their own teachers who showed them the concept of the greater good and have upheld it for so long. Its sad to see someone so blinded that they cannot see such a thing.

That can't be, since then the price of a financial asset would never fall to zero. But we know from observation that many assets (stocks, bonds, deposits, etc) have become worthless.

The more interesting economic issue with Zimbabwe dollars and Madoff's shares isn't that they decreased in value, but that they lost almost all liquidity. I remember writing about it in a comment on this site some time ago. For example, I presume that the Zimbabwean dollar was delisted from forex markets, and Madoff's shares can't be traded on the official exchanges anymore. And here a mechanism focusing on propping up the price may not help at all.Peter Šurdahttp://email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-6704573462403312459.post-57708091040738470242015-07-28T02:06:05.221-04:002015-07-28T02:06:05.221-04:00Now we're talking about technicalities.

He may, for example, need to make payments and decides to dispose of the shares. The machine has some cash flow irrespective of how dividends are paid, or could borrow money to buy him off, or other machines can buy it outright. Just like a company nowadays can do a share buyback, or be subject to a takeover.

Philosophically, for comparison, we could ask why parents allow their children to become independent individuals, why employment contracts leave space for private activities or why teachers allow their students to go out and use what they learned. At least one of the reasons is that even strictly economically, they may make better use of scarce resources that way.

You shouldn't be talking to lawyers. Our legal system does not recognise this.

"The creator can, at the beginning, own all the shares of the machine, and then the machine can gradually buy him out as it's earning money. He may not even know that the buyer of the shares is the machine."

Suppose the creator begins by owning the machine outright, like a slave. The machine may earn profits, but it is the creator who is entitled to those profits, even if the machine is programmed to spend the money in particular ways. Using the profits to buy shares from the creator makes no sense -- the creator already owns that money. Why would the creator consent to something like that? A slave has no way to buy its freedom. Of course, the creator could "free" the machine (as a slaveholder frees a slave). But then, I wonder what the legal status of the machine might be in this case? Is it really possible to say that legally, no one (or group) owns the machine and that machine owns itself?

The definition I'm using for medium of exchange is anything that people accept in trade because they anticipate being able to pass it on. Banknotes and gold have non-monetary properties (ie. value apart from their role as media of exchange) while the bitUSD is anchored by its peg. Bitcoin, on the other hand, has no non-monetary properties, it a pure medium of exchange. And like any other Ponzi asset, a price of $0 is as good as a price of $10,000.JP Koninghttp://firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-6704573462403312459.post-1852688833921597852015-07-26T15:44:53.182-04:002015-07-26T15:44:53.182-04:00For the purposes of our debate, we can define &quo...For the purposes of our debate, we can define "ownership" as infrastructure for enforcing economic exchange. Control is somewhat different, it does not require ownership or legitimacy. This ownership infrastructure is a prerequisite for trade. A machine must be able to enter into a contract and have the infrastructure enforce it afterwards. Otherwise it cannot act as an economic unit.

However, ince the infrastructure is available, and the machine starts entering into contracts, it is its own economic unit independent of the creator of the machine. It can allow others to invest in it and pay dividends, it can hire people or machines, it can itself invest into other economic units. It should not confuse us that it behaves deterministically, or that its incentives are aligned with those of its creator, or that the statist law does not recognise this. You can attack the machine claiming that you are enforcing property rights, but this does not necessarily make it so, anyone can attack anyone irrespective of whether there is infrastructure for this or not.

The creator can, at the beginning, own all the shares of the machine, and then the machine can gradually buy him out as it's earning money. He may not even know that the buyer of the shares is the machine.

I think that while technically true, practically irrelevant. The same could be said about other goods subject to the network effect, like the internet: if everyone stopped using it, then IP addresses will have no value. But to argue that in order to prevent this, there needs to be an additional source of utility is a non-sequitur, because this additional feature could very well turn out to be a burden, and cause the collapse of the network effect.Peter Šurdahttp://email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-6704573462403312459.post-32214648950908431642015-07-26T15:00:46.277-04:002015-07-26T15:00:46.277-04:00Peter, Thanks for the link.

Thanks for the link. The lecture was interesting, but did not really answer my questions. The notion of a machine "owning itself" sounds ridiculous. In part, he is confusing the notion of a machine "operating itself." Ownership and control are conceptually distinct.

The creator of these machines must be incentivized in some manner and invariably, this will mean having ownership rights defined over the stream of profits generated by the robot.

Near the end he talks a bit about a public funding model...a system of voluntary taxation to fund a public good...but he is talking pie in the sky here. Even in the cases where this could happen, the legal system would (I presume) endow the public with the liability associated with the robot.

So when you replied to Nick to say that bitcoin can be owned by a machine and the legal system cannot prevent this, I am inclined to disagree on both counts. If I build a robot to act as an assassin, believe me, the FBI will exert great effort to track down and prosecute the owner. It's not impossible to do, not even if all transactions are governed by BTC.

Still, I have to give all of this some more thought. It's all very interesting!David Andolfattohttp://email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-6704573462403312459.post-14056331526053177832015-07-26T14:33:01.576-04:002015-07-26T14:33:01.576-04:00JP, I do not believe my argument to be circular....JP,

I do not believe my argument to be circular. It may depend on how you define "medium of exchange." If you think of MOE as simply an bookentry object, or its physical equivalent (paper note), then you are correct.

But Bitcoin is more than a bookentry object; it is a communication system. It has intrinsic value the same way that a telephone connecting two people has intrinsic value (true, Robinson Crusoe attaches no value to an unconnected telephone, but so what?).

Even if bitcoin itself is no longer valued as a payment instrument, it can still have use in communication. This is the intrinsic value I am talking about.

It could be that it holds assets on behalf of the person who has submitted the collateral to back each bitUSD, sort of like a trust, ETF, or mutual fund.

As for the problem you have with the zero problem (here):

"In the case of Bitcoin, this epsilon backing comes from the intrinsic value in a P2P global value transfer system."

The point you're making is circular. That a medium of exchange has value because it is a medium of exchange doesn't resolve anything. To have intrinsic value, it needs to have some value apart from being a medium of exchange.

It has its own economic goals. It could be that these goals are identical with those of the owner of the machines, but once it's running, the owner can only influence it indirectly, by economic incentives.

And in order for this to work, the machine must be able to assert property rights over the assets. It means it is incompatible with the current legal system, because this assumes that people are the only carrier of rights. Even separate legal entities such as corporations must have humans in executive functions. A machine-executive is not allowed.

For an example, I recommend Mike Hearn's lecture: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pu4PAMFPo5YPeter Šurdahttp://firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-6704573462403312459.post-37386780270957965682015-07-26T00:45:30.595-04:002015-07-26T00:45:30.595-04:00What does it mean for a machine to own an asset?

Is there some legal stuff going on here that I am unaware of? If so, it seems critical and I'm surprised it's been left out of your discussion.

I do not think that Bitcoin (or the USD for that matter) suffers from what you call the "zero problem."

The theoretical result in which fiat money suffers from the zero problem relies critically on an absolute complete lack of intrinsic worth. If one adds even an "epsilon" of backing, then the zero problem disappears.

In the case of the USD, this epsilon backing might come from the ability of legal tender to discharge a tax obligation.

In the case of Bitcoin, this epsilon backing comes from the intrinsic value in a P2P global value transfer system.David Andolfattohttp://firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-6704573462403312459.post-44547721290940376522015-07-25T22:45:57.182-04:002015-07-25T22:45:57.182-04:00Sold too early.

The great multi-year Swinton deal with Quindell ..er it's all off says Slater & Gordon: more questions for Rob Fielding
Last December I speculated that the biggest insurance partner of the fraud Quindell (QPP), Swinton, was set to cancel its arrangements. On 10th December newly appointed CEO Rob Fielding gave my critics much joy as he announced a new multiyear deal. Oh what a prat Winni is. The shares surged higher. Oh dear, the deal does not look to be multi-year at all unless 1+ 0 = 2 in the same way that 2+2 can = 5.Read the full article on ShareProphets | Comments

Turkey OKs South Stream Environmental Impact Assessment
Turkey's Ministry of Environment and Urbanization has approved the Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) report for the offshore section of the South Stream gas pipeline.
The clearance for the offshore stretch of the gas pipeline crossing the Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) of Turkey was announced by the South Stream Transport company.
The EIA report concluded that the project was not expected to have substantial impact on the marine environment or fisheries in the Turkish section.
The South Stream pipeline section is to be built at a distance of over 110 km from the Turkish coast, in waters up to 2200 m deep.
Alongside the positive EIA report, however, the Turkish authorities requested a set of measures to be included in the project design, including a re-routing of the pipeline so that it sidesteps shipwrecks at the sea bottom.
The positive EIA report was issued after months of scientific research and consultations among Turkish and international experts, according to the South Stream Transport company, as cited by investor.bg.
Offshore pipe laying in Russian waters has been scheduled to start in late 2014.
South Stream Transport received a positive EIA report for the pipeline section in Russian waters in March.
Bulgaria also issued a positive EIA report for the local offshore section of the gas pipeline.
However, Environment Minister Stanislav Atanasov made clear a few weeks ago that a number of environmental organizations were appealing the EIA report at a Bulgarian court.
Atanasov said that he expected the court to come up with a ruling on it by October.
Against the backdrop of these preparations, Bulgaria suspended work on the project on its territory, saying that it would wait for the pronouncement of the European Commission on the compatibility of the scheme with the EU's Third Energy Package.

As our friend George likes to say, Turkey is a real emerging market..........
Well no wonder the US has a larger economy than the entire EU, and soon China will surpass the economy of the EU also... The problem with the EU is that it suffers from way too many complexities like conservatism, nationalism, bureaucracy and etc. Lack of European cooperation!!!
Even the Turks have more common sense and no doubt about it that the emerging markets are the future.

Olivos have recently held a series of private lunches for us, all of the staff were excellent, and the food was delicious. I would highly recommend!
A bottle of white overpriced, food nothing special, compulsory service charge, even with hefty Tastecard discount the bill was still £69 for 2. My main course was poor, should have sent it back really (fried prawns and calamari) but did not want to make a scene. I have dined there before, it's always been fine, but I now won't be...
We came here for lunch last Sunday, we ate from the 2 course set menu which was reasonably priced at £10-99 a head and gave us a fairly good choice. Our food was delicious, service was just about right, not too fast or slow. The building is old and beautiful. I would recommend this, it's far better than your average...
We found this place by chance visiting Guildford and it was amazing!
I have to say they do the best carbonara I have ever tried in the UK or EU outside Italy.
Also the place was nice, the staff was efficient and friendly and the local has A/C which is a must in summer.
This was the first time for us as it was my birthday and we went on recommendations on trip advisor .
Well it was outstanding great service and the food was fantastic to .
Food and service both excellent. Good vegetarian choice. Lunch menu exceptional value. Also do loyalty card. Could not fault it.
Olivo never disappoints. Despite the restaurant being very busy they found a table for us even though we had not made a reservation. Service was impeccable, the two main courses we had were both delicious (Risotto and Lasagne with sides) washed down with wine and Pimms. Perfect end to a river walk on a summer's day.
Ate at Olivo's with family on a busy Saturday evening in July. Glad we had booked as most tables were full already when we arrived. Seating is in many small rooms; adequate but a little cramped. Menu is broad covering appetisers, pasta, pizza, meat and fish courses as well as desserts.
The antipasto to share was very good, especially with...
We decided to give this place a try, we know several friends that have been and said it was good. We sat outside, the road is fairly quiet, and you are seated about 4 metres back. The service was friendly and efficient. We both had pasta as a main dish, taglialini with crabmeat and a tomato sauce. The food was...
first visit to this place food was very good - seems very popular service excellent - be careful they add a graturity to the bill - which they should probably tell you.
we had I nice meal - will come back sometimes - nothing fantastic though

Should obese people receive preferential treatment at work?
The radio station's Breakfast crew asks if obese people deserve preferential treatment.
Many people struggle with weight issues and tomorrow (June 17), Capital FM's Capital Breakfast with Pamela Chong and Janice Yap tread a thin line as the as they take on the thorny issue of obesity. The ladies want to know whether obesity should be classified as a disability and if those struggling with the issue should be given preferential treatment at the workplace.
The debate comes after Karsten Kaltoft, a Danish national, was fired from his work as a childminder for being too large, and now he is suing his local authority at the European Court of Justice for unlawful dismissal.
If Kaltoft wins the lawsuit, it will force employers across Europe to find ways to accommodate larger people so they are not at a disadvantage to their slimmer colleagues. This could mean larger parking bays, sturdier furniture and, more important, the right of the employee not to be dismissed for his or her weight.
However, this case has sparked mixed reactions among people. While providing benefits for obese workers would make their work more comfortable, many folks argue that it will encourage unhealthy lifestyles and promote the idea that people do not have control over their weight or appearance.
Joining the lively discussion tomorrow is US Certified Counselling Psychologist Dr. Cathie Wu who will provide a perspective on the cultural differences at the heart of the issue and ask if "anti-discrimination" laws like this do in fact increase discrimination towards those affected.
Chong and Yap will open the phone lines from 7.30am to 9am for listeners to call in and share their thoughts on this heavy topic.
For more info, tune in to Capital FM on 88.9FM in the Klang Valley and 107.6FM in Penang.

1. Technical Field
The present disclosure relates to a power strip.
2. Description of the Related Art
A power strip usually includes a plurality of slot sets or outlets to receive contact prongs of plugs. The distance between each set of slots is constant. Certain plugs with larger sizes than conventional plugs may block adjacent outlets, causing it difficult for other plugs to insert into the adjacent outlets.
The components of the drawings are not necessarily drawn to scale, the emphasis instead being placed upon clearly illustrating the principles of a power strip. Moreover, in the drawings, like reference numerals designate corresponding parts throughout several views.
Referring to
The cap 10 includes a top surface 11 and a bottom surface 12 at opposite ends thereof. The cap 10 includes a plug 13 on the top surface 11 and a coiled cable 14 attached to the bottom surface 12 and connected with the plug 13.
Referring to
The housing 20 further defines a number of encircling chambers 23 within the housing 20 between the first end 21 and the second end 22. In the embodiment, the number of the chambers 23 is six. Each chamber 23 includes two opposite side plates 231 and a bottom plate 232 connecting the two side plates 231. The two side plates 231 correspondingly define a number of pairs of positioning holes 233.
Referring to
In the embodiment, the main body 51 defines two opposing first openings 54 and a second opening 55 centrally located above the two first openings 54. When used, prongs of a two-prong plug 2 or a three-prong plug 3 can be inserted into the prong fitting member 50. When needed, the prong fitting members 50 can be moved to a proper position to provide sufficient space for larger plugs.
The power strip 20 further includes a number of cover plates 30 covering the chambers 23 of the housing 20. Each cover plate 30 defines two first slots 31 aligned with the first openings 54 and a second slot 32 aligned with the second opening 55 of the prong fitting members 50. Contact prongs of a plug can thus extend through the slots to be inserted into the openings of the prong fitting member 50.
Referring to
Although the present disclosure has been specifically described on the basis of certain embodiments thereof, the disclosure is not to be construed as being limited to the described embodiments. Various changes or modifications may be made to the embodiments without departing from the scope and spirit of the disclosure.

88 Important Truths I've Learned About Life
July 13, 2015 | No Comments » | Topics: Life |
by David Cain
Everyone gets drilled with certain lessons in life. Sometimes it takes repeated demonstrations of a given law of life to really get it into your skull, and other times one powerful experience drives the point home once forever. Here are 88 things I've discovered about life, the world, and its inhabitants by this point in my short time on earth.
1. You can't change other people, and it's rude to try.
2. It is a hundred times more difficult to burn calories than to refrain from consuming them in the first place.
3. If you're talking to someone you don't know well, you may be talking to someone who knows way more about whatever you're talking about than you do.
4. The cheapest and most expensive models are usually both bad deals.
5. Everyone likes somebody who gets to the point quickly.
6. Bad moods will come and go your whole life, and trying to force them away makes them run deeper and last longer.
7. Children are remarkably honest creatures until we teach them not to be.
8. If everyone in the TV show you're watching is good-looking, it's not worth watching.
9. Yelling always makes things worse.
10. Whenever you're worried about what others will think of you, you're really just worried about what you'll think of you.

An 87 Year Old College Student Named Rose
July 7, 2015 | No Comments » | Topics: Life |
The first day of school our professor introduced himself and challenged us to get to know someone we didn't already know. I stood up to look around when a gentle hand touched my shoulder.
I turned round to find a wrinkled, little old lady beaming up at me with a smile that lit up her entire being.
She said, "Hi handsome. My name is Rose.
I'm eighty-seven years old. Can I give you a hug?"
I laughed and enthusiastically responded, "Of course you may!" and she gave me a giant squeeze.
"Why are you in college at such a young, innocent age?" I asked.
She jokingly replied, "I'm here to meet a rich husband, get married, and have a couple of kids…"
"No seriously," I asked. I was curious what may have motivated her to be taking on this challenge at her age.
"I always dreamed of having a college education and now I'm getting one!" she told me.
After class we walked to the student union building and shared a chocolate milkshake.
We became instant friends. Every day for the next three months we would leave class together and talk nonstop. I was always mesmerized listening to this "time machine" as she shared her wisdom and experience with me.
Over the course of the year, Rose became a campus icon and she easily made friends wherever she went.
She loved to dress up and she reveled in the attention bestowed upon her from the other students. She was living it up.

Dale Carnegie's Top 10 Tips for Radically Improving Your Social Skills
July 6, 2015 | No Comments » | Topics: Life |
By Henrik Edberg
"The ideas I stand for are not mine. I borrowed them from Socrates. I swiped them from Chesterfield. I stole them from Jesus. And I put them in a book. If you don't like their rules, whose would you use?"
– Dale Carnegie
"Who was Dale Carnegie?" you may wonder. Well, he was a guy that was born 110 years ago. He died in 1955. He was a rich man, a very successful man.
He wrote a little book called "How to Win Friends and Influence People". It went on to sell over 30 million copies. It still sells today and is probably one of the best books on how to improve your social skills.
Carnegie then continued to write more books and to create courses on how to interact with people, on how to make friends and on how to gain influence.
Here are 10 of my favourite tips from Dale Carnegie. And as the opening quote says, these tips have been time-tested for the last few hundreds or thousands of years. They are pretty solid.
1. Create your own emotions.
"If you want to be enthusiastic, act enthusiastic."
Emotions work backwards too. You can use that to your advantage. If you are stuck in a negative emotion then you can often shake it off. Change your body – how you move, sit and stand – and act as you would like to feel. Enthusiasm and other positive emotions are much more useful and pleasurable for everyone in an interaction. Because…
2. It's not so much about the logical stuff.
"When dealing with people, remember you are not dealing with creatures of logic, but creatures of emotion."
This is so key. Logic is good but in the end, in interactions and in life, we are emotional creatures. We send and receive emotions from other people. That is one reason why body language and voice tonality is often said be up to 93% of communication. Now, those numbers were for some specific situations but I still believe that these two ways of communication are very, very important.
The body language and the voice tonality is a bit like the rest of the iceberg, the great mass below the tip of the words we use. Those two things communicate how we are feeling and give indication to what we are thinking. And that's why it's important to be able to change how you feel. To be in a positive mood while interacting. Because that will have a great impact on how you say something and how you use your body. And those two things will have a big impact on your results and relationships.

The paintjob looks awesome and I love the new head and visor. The way the red eyes show through the red visor is amazing!

JERUSALEM, Aug. 10 (JTA) — The Israeli military unit that came to the rescue at the site of the bombed U.S. Embassy in Kenya traces its origins to a 1982 tragedy in Lebanon. On the morning of Nov. 11, 1982, a giant blast rocked the southern Lebanese town of Tyre. The blast decimated a seven-story…

Navy. Purdue. Michigan State. Michigan. Miami. Stanford. BYU. Oklahoma. Pittsburgh. Boston College. Wake Forest. USC.
Yep, you can relive them all. Starting today, a 12-disc set celebrating the Fighting Irish's undefeated regular season is available for purchase at NotreDameDVD.com.
The collection is $79.99, and includes the full game broadcasts without commercial interruption, as presented on NBC, CBS and ABC this fall. A second option is available for $89.99, which includes the NFL Films Onward Notre Dame: South Bend to Soldier Field special which debuted on NBC before the Stanford game. It should be noted however, that the package will not ship in time for Christmas.
From the season opener in Dublin to the goal line stand in Los Angeles, who could have written a better script for the 125th year of Notre Dame football? Whether you purchase it now, or wait a few weeks hoping for a special edition 13-disc set, this collection is a must-have for any Notre Dame fan. This was the kind of season we'll talk about for decades, and 20 years from now, you're going to want to re-watch the legendary overtime stop in the rain against Stanford or the shock-the-nation victory at Oklahoma.
I, for one, am looking forward to this set because it will also finally allow me to clear some space on my DVR.

The man who allegedly sent a hoax press release from ANZ bank, which said that ANZ was planning to withdraw its financial support from a huge open-cut coal mine in NSW on ethical grounds, made his first appearance in court today.
Jonathan Moylan, 25, is being prosecuted by the Australian Securities and Investments Commission for making false and misleading statements in that email.
When he sent the email in January this year, the information in the email caused the share price of Whitehaven Coal - the mining company behind the A$700 million ($812 million) Maules Creek coalmine - to plunge A$314m.
But in Downing Centre local court on Tuesday, Moylan was granted unconditional bail.
Moylan did not have the opportunity to plead guilty or not guilty because some documents relating to the case are still being sought.
Moylan sat in the back of the courtroom, clean shaven and in suit pants and shirt.
About 60 protesters and friends were outside the courtroom to show their support for him.
In court, Magistrate Jacqueline Milledge spoke good-humouredly to Moylan: "Are you the Jonathan that has all the friends out the front?"
Moylan nodded quietly.
Outside the court, Maules Creek farmer Rick Laird stood with Moylan's supporters.
Laird's family has lived in the Maules Creek area since the 1830s.
If the mine were to go ahead, up to 25 families could be forced out of their homes and the endangered Box Gum forest would potentially be devastated, he said.
Laird said he had been protesting the proposed mine for a couple of years now, and he supported Moylan's action because it finally brought the issue to the attention of the media.
"We tried protesting the mine in and around the forest, and the media from Sydney didn't really give it any airplay, but we've had a lot of airplay since the hoax," he said.
"I'm here to support Jonathan today, just in the same way that Jonathan supported farmers in Maules Creek."
The Australian Securities and Investments Commission issued a press release after Moylan appeared in court, saying the maximum penalty, if he were found guilty, would be 10 years imprisonment or a fine of up to A$765,000, or both.
Moylan would not answer questions from media following his court appearance.
But Laird, who is an angus beef producer and also has wheat, canola, and cotton crops, said the proposed coal project would create a lot of dust and lower the water table, and that this would endanger his livelihood.
"My own cattle may not be able to be watered if [the water table] goes down any more than 3 or 4 metres, and they're saying [it will go down] up to 7 metres."
