| Self Defense - The Fundamental Human Right | | 2008-05-15 19:22:57 | | WARNING: INTENTIONALLY UNFUNNY BLOG POST!Today is a rather special day. In conjunction with BlogCatalog, blog writers around the world are demonstrating support for human rights in the "Bloggers Unite for Human Rights." Campaign.When I heard about it, I decided to address, what to me at any rate, is the most basic of human rights: the Right to self-defense.Indeed, it is that Right alone that ultimately allows all other Rights to be exercised. After all, if you have no right to defend yourself and those you hold dear from attack, be it from a mugger, a rapist, or an Army, then no other Right can endure. And if self-defense isn't an inherent Right of humanity then it can only be a "Privilege" bestowed by Government (And therefore revocable at will.)I mentioned my plan on one of the discussions at BlogCatalog, and was immediately referred to the United Nations Universal Declaration of Human Rights, which was written in 1948. Since I couldn't find anything there, I asked the question "Isn | | By: It\'s a Funny Thing... | | |

| Human Consciousness, Intelligence May Suddenly Shift | | 2008-05-14 20:41:00 | | By Steve HammonsIn The American Chronicle Many researchers have hypothesized and attempted to prove that human consciousness is undergoing significant change.This alleged change is not just increased intellectual knowledge or even social networking via the internet and other mass media.Rather, people from diverse fields including, but not limited to, various sciences, education, defense and intelligence communities, psychology and spirituality have conducted research about the fundamental nature of individual and group changes in human consciousness.That is, our individual awareness is purported to be increasingly linked with a larger energy or field in terms of quantum physics theories, spiritual concepts and Nature in ways we may not fully understand at this time.Over the last few decades, research into extra-sensory perception (ESP), "anomalous cognition" (unusual or unconventional awareness or abilities), "remote viewing" (ESP methods developed in Project STARGATE by the U.S. milit | | By: Spiritual Village | | |

Yet the reality is that what happened to him is far more disturbing than brutality. This was systematic mutilation.Whoever they were they had a level of stunning precision.They were specific about what body parts and internal organs they wanted.They removed the left eye, the left ear, the lips, the tongue, and the jaw bone.In the upper torso, two "drainage holes" were perfectly cut into the chest.And the entire rectum track had been cored out leaving a large gaping hole, similar to how an apple core remover will slice out the center leavin | | By: SKYWATCHER:VIDEO BLOG | | |

| First Human Gene Therapy | | 2008-05-08 21:30:00 | | On September 14, 1990 at the U.S. National Institutes of Health W. French Anderson, M.D., and his colleagues R. Michael Blaese, M.D., C. Bouzaid, M.D., and Kenneth Culver, M.D., performed the first approved gene therapy procedure on four-year old Ashanthi DeSilva. Born with a rare genetic disease called severe combined immunodeficiency (SCID), she lacked a healthy immune system, and was vulnerable to every passing germ or infection. Children with this illness usually develop overwhelming infections and rarely survive to adulthood; a common childhood illness like chickenpox is life-threatening. Ashanthi led a cloistered existence -- avoiding contact with people outside her family, remaining in the sterile environment of her home, and battling frequent illnesses with massive amounts of antibiotics.In Ashanthi's gene therapy procedure, doctors removed white blood cells from the child's body, let the cells grow in the lab, inserted the missing gene into the cells, and then infused the gene | | By: Biosolution | | |

| [Video] Cleve Backster - Plants Can Sense Human Intention | | 2008-05-08 11:35:06 | | There is a video at youtube with the title "Cleve Baxter - Plants can sense human intention". The info of the video states:This is a video of Cleve Baxter, a polygraph scientist who did the controversial experiment with plants and animal cells. In the 60s, he decided on impulse to attach his polygraph electrodes to the now-famous dracaena in his office, then water the plant and see if the leaves responded (p. 4). Finding that the plant indeed reacted to this event, he decided to see what would happen if he threatened it, and formed in his mind the idea of lighting a match to the leaf where the electrodes were attached.And that was when something happened that forever changed Baxter's life and ours. For the plant didn't wait for him to light the match. It reacted to his thoughts!Through further research, Baxter found that it was his intent, and not merely the thought itself, that brought about this reaction.He also discovered that plants were aware of each other, mourned the death of an | | By: Spiritual Village | | |

| Oneness in our true human context | Thomas Merton | | 2008-05-05 19:29:00 | | "Only when we see ourselves in our true human context, as members of a race which is intended to be one organism and "one body," will we begin to understand the positive importance not only of the successes but of the failures and accidents in our lives. My successes are not my own. The way to them was prepared by others. The fruit of my labors is not my own: for I am preparing the way for the achievements of another. Nor are my failures my own. They may spring from the failure of another, but they are also compensated for by another's achievement. Therefore the meaning of my life is not to be looked for merely in the sum total of my achievements. It is seen only in the complete integration of my achievements and failures with the achievements and failures of my own generation, and society, and time.- Thomas Merton.

This scientific advancement could make it possible to develop computer systems that have memories that do not forget, do not need to be booted up, consume far less power and associate information in a manner similar to that of the human brain.

They found that different brain areas are activated when a person moves up or down in a pecking order -- or simply views perceived social superiors or inferiors. Circuitry activated by important events responded to a potential change in hierarchical status as much as it did to winning money.

| The creation of artificial stupidity reflects badly on the human race | | 2008-04-10 10:08:28 | | Joseph Weizenbaum, who died last month, was one of the computer scientists who changed the way we think. Unfortunately for all of us, he didn't change it in the way he wanted to. His family was driven from Germany by the Nazis in 1936, and by the early 1960s he was a professor at MIT, part of the first wave of brilliant programmers to whom it sometimes seemed that there was nothing that computers could not do. Contemporaries like John McCarthy and Marvin Minsky confidently predicted the emergence of "strong" human-like artificial intelligence (AI). Then, in 1965, Weizenbaum demonstrated artificial stupidity, and the world has never been the same since.

Perhaps the most creative, and talented group of fans ever to be seen. You know how at some football games there are maybe 10 people that all have different signs that, when held together, make a word such as "Go Team", or something like that. Well, these Koreans have taken that to a whole new level by getting what looks like upwards of 200 people holding various signs at certain times. There really is no explanation of how well they did this, and they even utilize the color of their shirts, jackets, and pants to add more effects to the wording. It is truly an impressive feat.

This report is not a conventional publication of an academic conference but seeks to convey the passion of those ideas, both for the general reader and the HCI practitioner. For the general reader, this is important because knowledge of what the future might be may empower, while ignorance harm. For the HCI practitioner, its purpose is to map out the terrain and suggest new approaches while keeping an eye on the main prize: the embodiment of human values at the heart of computing.

| What is a "Human Admixed Embryo"? - an article by Julian Hitchcock | | 2008-04-03 13:24:48 | | In the language of developmental biology, an “embryo” arises with the appearance, on the surface of the growing ball of cells created following conception, of a feature known as the “primitive streak”. In effect, this is the point at which the cells display the characteristics of a vertebrate. In humans, this happens at about 14 days following fertilisation. Before then, the developing ball of cells is known as a “blastocyst”. The Human Fertilisation & Embryology Act 1990 (the “Act”) made the word “embryo” include the blastocyst. | | By: Mums in Science | | |
