NBC News got an early look at the eight nearly-finished prototypes, assembled near the existing fence along the U.S.-Mexico border miles outside San Diego, ahead of Thursday's deadline for the sections to be completed.

"It feels like we're collectively starting to not give a shit about The Walking Dead. This is evident in more than some vibe. The show has been in a steady ratings decline for the past few seasons. And it's easy to see why, as it's hard to muster any kind of emotion stronger than a vague "Ehhh?" while watching it. Still, it's too early to declare the series officially over, since its ratings are still damn good for any type of TV. At the dramatic television dance, The Walking Dead remains the drunk prom queen"

Researchers Demonstrate 'Mind Reading' Brain Decoding Technology
Researchers have demonstrated how to decode what the human brain is seeing by using artificial intelligence to interpret fMRI scans from people watching videos, representing a sort of mind-reading technology.
The research is in Cerebral Cortex. (full access paywall)

NGC 248 Nebula
NASA's Hubble Space Telescope captured two festive-looking nebulas, situated so as to appear as one. They reside in the Small Magellanic Cloud, a dwarf galaxy that is a satellite of our Milky Way galaxy. Intense radiation from the brilliant central stars is heating hydrogen in each of the nebulas, causing them to glow red.
The nebulas, together, are called NGC 248. They were discovered in 1834 by the astronomer Sir John Herschel. NGC 248 is about 60 light-years long and 20 light-years wide. It is among a number of glowing hydrogen nebulas in the dwarf satellite galaxy, which is located approximately 200,000 light-years away in the southern constellation Tucana.
The image is part of a study called Small Magellanic Cloud Investigation of Dust and Gas Evolution (SMIDGE). Astronomers are using Hubble to probe the Milky Way satellite to understand how dust is different in galaxies that have a far lower supply of heavy elements needed to create dust.
The Small Magellanic Cloud has between a fifth and a tenth of the amount of heavy elements that the Milky Way does. Because it is so close, astronomers can study its dust in great detail, and learn about what dust was like earlier in the history of the universe. "It is important for understanding the history of our own galaxy, too," explained the study's principal investigator, Dr. Karin Sandstrom of the University of California, San Diego.
Most of the star formation happened earlier in the universe, at a time where there was a much lower percentage of heavy elements than there is now. "Dust is a really critical part of how a galaxy works, how it forms stars," said Sandstrom.
The data used in this image were taken with Hubble's Advanced Camera for Surveys in September 2015.

Little known fact: Carving a face on a vegetable to make a lantern is an ancient tradition practised throughout the galaxy.
TK-24/7 was a master at carving, he was a very handy trooper, he did not pass an opportunity to carve even when on duty on a planet with little or no vegetation suitable for the job. Snow is just as good a substitute as any when the time for a good traditional lantern is at hand. Regardless of a deadly blizzard.
Happy Halloween!

"La Paz"
By Konstantinos Ouzounidis www.photographybyko.com
" La Paz " [Costa Rica]
From an unbelievable about of flora and fauna to the most famous waterfalls in the country, La Paz should be on everyone's list of what to do in Costa Rica. There are five waterfalls, hiking trails, a cloud forest, rain forest and more than 100 different animal species.
Costa Rica is home to an abundance of natural wonders that mingle together to create some of the most beautiful scenery around! On my journeys, I've hopped along streams, mountain springs, freshwater ponds and through forests to find hundreds of waterfalls that are truly majestic. I've heard that humans especially love these cascading attractions, while there are still many unknown or closed off to the public, there are plenty unbelievable ones to be visited.
Feel free to like, share and post your comments!
Peace & Love

"Galaxy over Lake Ninan"
With all the clouds about, I've been watching the satellite pictures waiting for a gap. On Sunday night there appeared to be one around Lake Ninan so off I go in the evening (about two hour drive from Perth).
Waiting for the galaxy to set closer to the horizon (I had planned an epic "galaxy reflected in water" scene), I took a "warm-up" panorama in this 36 panel mosaic - which is probably just as well, as the light cloud that can be seen on the horizon pretty much came over within the hour and cut my session short.
Lake Ninan is sort of a mixed bag (at least for me). The first time there I was on the western side looking east (at the time thinking about getting the galaxy rising) but there are only some small stumps and short trees on the shore on the western side which makes for fairly boring shots. This image taken on the eastern shore is a bit more interesting as it has more (albeit dead) trees in the water providing nice reflections.
This is a 36 panel mosiac, with a tracking mount for the sky and turned off for the foreground, all camera settings were kept the same for all panels. Stitching in PTGui, colour calibration with Pixinsight, levels, saturation and contrast in Photoshop.
Enjoy, Will Vrbasso.

The colours of Iceland's Goðafoss
One of the the more graceful locations on the island. A crescent waterfall that looks amazing no matter what angle you're photographing it from. The water also spills into a beautiful canyon that seems to never get the attention it deserves. So, in order to get here, you need a bit more time than usual, as it's in the far north-east of the island. But for those making the journey around the entire island, it will definitely be a highlight of your trip.
Goðafoss, you're a stunner!
