Data: Input/Output
From a certain perspective the eyes are the input channel (i.e. data) that allows the brain to receive information and then create output (i.e. action). This is a fascinating extension of the concept - https://goo.gl/LY76uV, whereby the input data affects language. #awesome #mindblown

Porg Mania has begun! This will be the hottest thing this Christmas! Get yours NOW!
What are Porgs?
The world has been asking the question that has been on everyone's mind. What or who, are these wonderful looking creatures, that have captured the hearts of millions across the world. Porgs are a sea bird species that lives on the planet Ahch-To, where Jedi Master Luke Skywalker hid in exile. The creatures, who dwelled on the cliffs of the island, can build nests and fly. Male porgs were known to be slightly bigger in size than females. Baby porgs are called porglets. They’re the Star Wars version of puffins, which is a species of bird found in the North Pacific Ocean and in the North Atlantic Ocean. I think a lot of people are going to want a porg as a pet after watching the movie this December. Lucasfilm announced an upcoming kids’ book called, "Chewie and the Porgs." The plot of the book is unknown but not sure if the book will be officially Canon, or just a kids book. The book will be released simultaneously with the move, The last Jedi, on December 15, 2017.
What do you think of the Porgs?

Skogafoss, Iceland
The famous Skogafoss waterfall on Iceland's south-coast. One of the more famous waterfalls in Iceland, and it's easy to see why. This 60m high waterfall is not just beautiful, it's easily accessible, and easily admirable from below and above. There's a legend here at Skogafoss that there is treasure buried behind the fall, in a cave. It's said that Þrasi Þórólfsson (one of the first viking settlers in the region) buried the chest here when he arrived.

Researchers want to heal the brain. Should they enhance it as well?
'Despite obvious benefits for people with otherwise untreatable conditions, there could be downsides to brain-machine interfaces being developed to treat disease or drive prosthetic limbs. As researchers get better at building interfaces and understanding the language of the brain, the possibility arises that science could enhance our senses and even our intelligence.
[...]
William Newsome, a professor of neurobiology and director of the Stanford Neurosciences Institute, said that brain-machine interfaces may add new dimensions to longstanding debates about the ethics of medical research with patients as subjects.
"Our brains are highly evolved for life on this planet," and they reflect a number of tradeoffs between, for example, the ability to learn quickly and the ability to take a long view and plan for the future, Newsome said, and fiddling with that balance could lead to negative unintended consequences.
That could be especially worrisome given Silicon Valley's enthusiasm for "hacking the brain," Newsome said, and the push to create brain-machine interfaces on the part of private companies such as Neuralink, billionaire Elon Musk's effort to enhance human intelligence, and Kernel, a similar endeavor toward cognitive enhancement. If those companies, some of which are focused on brain enhancement, make mistakes in the rush to market, it could hurt scientists doing slower, more careful work, Newsome said.
"There is a very blurry line between restoring and enhancing," Chichilnisky said, but "we are going to go there. That's what humanity does." While there have always been both good and bad outcomes of radical technological development, the net result has been mostly positive, and the human condition continues to improve as a result, he said.

Polar Lights at Saturn Bid Cassini Farewell
On Sept. 14, 2017, one day before making its final plunge into Saturn's atmosphere, NASA's Cassini spacecraft used its Ultraviolet Imaging Spectrograph, or UVIS, instrument to capture this final view of ultraviolet auroral emissions in the planet's north polar region.
The view is centered on the north pole of Saturn, with lines of latitude visible for 80, 70 and 60 degrees. Lines of longitude are spaced 40 degrees apart. The planet's day side is at bottom, while the night side is at top. A sequence of images from this observation has also been assembled into a movie sequence. The last image in the movie was taken about an hour before the still image, which was the actual final UVIS auroral image.

Best Pixel 2 and Pixel XL price deals you can get right now - Google is already shipping its new Pixel phones that got announced not long ago, and they are every bit as improved compared to their predecessors as expected. The Pixel 2 and Pixel 2 XL have great cameras with a new portrait mode, better battery life, thoughtful soft-touch design, and faster performance, not to mention the screen-to-body ratio on the larger XL. They don't come cheap, though, as gone are the days when Google sold...

Like if you Agree you should stand! Dislike if you feel otherwise!
It is what we were taught since we were young to respect america and the country itself. I'm disgusted as an american especially watching my favorite team disrespecting america. If they could only imagine the horrors people wen't through to make the country what it is today.
No matter what other people are doing it's up to you to take a stand and stand up. It's a disgrace to have to be talked into standing.

Death by a thousand cuts? Not for small populations - We've all heard Darwin's theory described as favoring the fittest, but new research from Michigan State University shows that, at least in small populations, it's O.K. to not be the best.
