Sinossi

On the Origin of Species by Charles Darwin - On the Origin of Species (or, more completely, On the Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection, or the Preservation of Favoured Races in the Struggle for Life), published on 24 November 1859, is a work of scientific literature by Charles Darwin that is considered to be the foundation of evolutionary biology.

Darwin's book introduced the scientific theory that populations evolve over the course of generations through a process of natural selection. The book presented a body of evidence that the diversity of life arose by common descent through a branching pattern of evolution. Darwin included evidence that he had collected on the Beagle expedition in the 1830s and his subsequent findings from research, correspondence, and experimentation.

Various evolutionary ideas had already been proposed to explain new findings in biology. There was growing support for such ideas among dissident anatomists and the general public, but during the first half of the 19th century the English scientific establishment was closely tied to the Church of England, while science was part of natural theology.

Ideas about the transmutation of species were controversial as they conflicted with the beliefs that species were unchanging parts of a designed hierarchy and that humans were unique, unrelated to other animals. The political and theological implications were intensely debated, but transmutation was not accepted by the scientific mainstream.

Neurofeedback For Trauma - Past...

Stuart R Black

It's not clear how change will come, but it's clear that change is coming. The current paradigms of treating mental health fall short. 
The psychiatric view of mental health disorders as imbalances in brain chemistry treated by medication fails to address the root cause. 
The psychological view of mental health disorders as learned behavioural issues has severe limitations. Psychosocial therapies that require the trauma to be reimagined (talking therapies, EMDR) are ineffective for many traumatised children, adolescents and adults. 
Neurofeedback therapy reaches the parts other therapies cannot reach. It works at the physiological level first, building the scaffolding for psychological change. 
The challenge has been understanding, adopting and scaling this obscure approach. 
Stuart Black explains how these challenges can be addressed, makes the case for Neurofeedback for trauma, and describes how you can incorporate Neurofeedback therapy into your service.

The Singularity Paradox -...

Valerie Vogue

Artificial intelligence (AI) has evolved from the realm of science fiction to become an integral part of modern society, influencing nearly every aspect of human life. This transformative technology, once envisioned as futuristic and far-fetched, is now a driving force behind innovations in industries ranging from healthcare to transportation, and it continues to reshape the way we live and work.
The foundations of AI were laid in the mid-20th century when pioneers like Alan Turing and John McCarthy began exploring the possibilities of creating machines that could think and learn like humans. Turing's groundbreaking concept of the Turing Test challenged the scientific community to consider whether a machine could exhibit intelligent behavior indistinguishable from that of a human. This sparked a wave of research and experimentation, leading to the development of early AI systems capable of performing tasks like solving mathematical problems and playing chess.
Over the decades, AI has undergone significant milestones, including the advent of machine learning and neural networks in the 1980s and 1990s. These advancements enabled computers to learn from data, improving their performance over time without explicit programming. The introduction of deep learning in the early 2000s marked another leap forward, as AI systems began to process vast amounts of information, recognize patterns, and make predictions with unprecedented accuracy. This era saw breakthroughs such as speech recognition, image processing, and the rise of personal digital assistants like Siri and Alexa.

Feral - A Love Story

Laura DiNunno

After chasing a peaches and cream feral cat, with a mourning dove dangling from its mouth, through the yard, everything changes for Laura DiNunno. 
Mourning the recent loss of her soul dog, and moving to upstate New York, she can’t seem to shake off the grief of pet loss and this little cat becomes a much-needed distraction. 
What begins as innocently as throwing scraps of food out to a starving, and very pregnant, feral cat turns into feeding a small family of felines. But when tragedy strikes and two of the kittens die, the mother and her remaining babies are more vulnerable than ever. Now the broken-hearted human, who never cared for cats, finds herself in a “wild” relationship with them. 
Filled with heart, and humor, this is the story of the ups and downs of a feral mom and her kittens, and the human they adopted, as they go from wild and struggling in an unforgiving landscape to mostly tame and living their best life inside.
