Newly Revealed Autism Related Genes Include Some Implicated in Cancer
The identification of genes related to autism spectrum disorder (ASD) could help to better understand the disorder and develop new treatments. While scientists have found many genetic differences in different people with ASD, these often show little overlap and don't appear to be related. Using a new technique that accounts for how genes interact, Italian researchers have identified new networks of related genes that may be involved in ASD - including genes that are related to cancer.
The research is in Frontiers in Genetics. (full open access)

After 15 Years in a Vegetative State, Nerve Stimulation Restores Consciousness
A 35-year-old man who had been in a vegetative state for 15 years after a car accident has shown signs of consciousness after neurosurgeons implanted a vagus nerve stimulator into his chest. The findings show that vagus nerve stimulation (VNS)--a treatment already in use for epilepsy and depression--can help to restore consciousness even after many years in a vegetative state.
The research is in Current Biology. (full open access)

How do you care for your phone's glass back? - In 2017, we have flagships that are decked out in terms of hardware and wrapped in premium-feeling materials — that's the base you need if you want to survive in this oversaturated, cutthroat market. Wireless charging is now a standard feature — from Samsung, to LG, to Apple's iPhones — and while some do it via proprietary magnetic connectors, like the new Essential Phone, most accomplish it through good old inductive charging. And that latter ...

The brightly lit limb of a crescent #Enceladus looks ethereal against the blackness of space. The rest of the moon, lit by light reflected from #Saturn, presents a ghostly appearance.

Two Views of Home
These images show views of Earth and the moon from NASA's Cassini (left) and MESSENGER spacecraft (right) from 19 July 2013.
In the Cassini image, the wide-angle camera has captured Saturn's rings and our planet Earth and its moon in the same frame. Earth, which is 1.44 billion km (898 million miles) away in this image, appears as a blue dot at center right; the moon can be seen as a fainter protrusion off its right side.
An arrow indicates their location in the annotated version. (More information about this image can be found at PIA17071). The other bright dots nearby are stars.
In the MESSENGER image, Earth and the moon appear as a pair of bright star-like features. MESSENGER was at a distance of 98 million km (61 million miles) from Earth when it took this image with the wide-angle camera of the Mercury Dual Imaging System.
MESSENGER took this image as part of a campaign to search for natural satellites of Mercury. Earth and the moon appear very large in this picture because they are overexposed.
When looking for potentially dim satellites, long exposures are required to capture as much light as possible. Consequently, bright objects in the field of view become saturated and appear artificially large.
In fact, Earth and the moon are each less than a pixel in size, and no details on either can be seen.

"A window to the Heaven"
By +Luca Micheli www.lucamicheliphotography.com After walking 40 minutes to reach this place the panorama was absolutely stunning.
I've to walk on a little path to reach this place but the result is awesome.
Don't you think?
I hope you can enjoy this view like I did as well. - Luca Micheli

Unfolding Before Me -- Fort Collins, Colorado
"Life, now, was unfolding before me, constantly and visibly, like the flowers of summer that drop fan-like petals on eternal soil."
-- Roman Payne, Rooftop Soliloquy
A species of hoverfly (?) mines the pollen on a white flower in the last rays of the setting sun in northern Colorado... The flower and bees won't last much longer here - it got down to 37ºF on Friday, and fall is truly in the air.

A beautiful morning
Chelila, Bhutan
My last daybreak in Bhutan is over and the sun is climbing fast in a cloudless sky between mature conifers. Although these trees might look tired or damaged, the ground below is full of young trees working on reaching the very same height one day.
The forest floor was littered with spring flowers and I encountered several of the iconic species like the Kalij pheasant (Lophura leucomelanos) and Himalayan monal (Lophophorus impejanus).

OTD in 1644: Danish astronomer Ole Christensen Rømer born, demonstrated conclusively that light travels at a finite speed.
Danish astronomer who demonstrated conclusively that light travels at a finite speed. He measured the speed by precisely measuring the length of time between eclipses of Jupiter by one of its moons. This observation produces different results depending on the position of the earth in its orbit around the sun. He reasoned that meant light took longer to travel the greater distance when earth was travelling in its orbit away from Jupiter. Via TiS.

Last month, Google announced that they would be partnering with Walmart to offer an easy voice shopping experience through the Google Assistant and Google Express. Now, this new functionality is live on Google Express.
If you head over to the Google Express webpage, you'll see that Walmart items are now listed. On the Google Express page, you'll also be able to connect your Walmart account to your Google account and easily reorder items on your "Easy reorder list." If you're using a Google Home smart speaker, you'll be able to say things like "Reorder coffee from Walmart" or "Buy paper towels from Walmart." Shipping will be free if you spend at least $35 and Google Express membership fees have been completely removed.
If you don't have a Google Home, you'll still be able to order Walmart products through the Google Express app or mobile website — just not with your voice.

Chinese maze: Village makes giant tech code from trees
At first glance, it could be the courtly maze of an English country manor - albeit with some rather large gaps.
But a tech-savvy eye will instantly see the green design for what it is - a massive QR code.
These high-tech barcodes are hugely popular in China as a way to make cashless payments on a smartphone.
Xilinshui village, in the northern Hebei province, has created one from trees in a bid to raise its profile.
The design was made from 130,000 Chinese junipers, and can be scanned from above using a phone or tablet.
It is not clear how high above the trees you would have to be to scan it - or how you might get there - but visitors who successfully capture the code will be connected to the village's tourism account on WeChat, a Chinese social media site.
