Summary

Charles Darwin's account of the momentous voyage which set in motion the current of intellectual events leading to The Origin of Species. When HMS Beagle sailed out of Devonport on 27 December 1831, Charles Darwin was twenty-two and setting off on the voyage of a lifetime. His journal, here reprinted in a shortened form, shows a naturalist making patient observations concerning geology, natural history, people, places and events. Volcanoes in the Galapagos, the Gossamer spider of Patagonia and the Australasian coral reefs - all are to be found in these extraordinary writings. The insights made here were to set in motion the intellectual currents that led to the theory of evolution, and the most controversial book of the Victorian age: The Origin of Species.

In 1956, when John McCarthy held the first academic session on the particular topic, the term artificial intelligence was introduced and made open to the audience as a technological innovation for an enterprise-level transformation. But the path to understanding whether machines can really think in a human way started long before that. Artificial Intelligence or AI can be defined as a machine, robot, or a product and service strategy to determine how people can think and act logically in a given situation. AI is a study of how human brain thinks, learns, decides, and works, when trying to resolve ensuing problems. 
And eventually, the study of AI has created intelligent software systems. Artificial intelligence carries a goal in mind to improve processes related to human knowledge, such as learning, reasoning and above all, problem-solving. 
It is a widely accepted and age-old proven truth that the very word viz., intelligence is intangible by nature. It comprises of learning, reasoning, perceiving, problem-solving and of course, assimilates the element of linguistic intelligence. Similarly, the functional realm of artificial intelligence revolves around reasoning, knowledge representation, learning, planning, realizing, processing of natural language and the freedom to move and manipulate objects. The general intelligence sector has long-term intentions.

With signing of the Paris Agreement, countries pledged to reduce carbon dioxide (CO2) and other greenhouse gas emissions, as well as to adapt to the impacts of climate change. By scaling up renewable energy, countries can sharply reduce one major source of the problem: energy-related CO2 emissions.
Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) quantify the commitment of each Party (or signatory that has ratified the Paris Agreement) to reduce CO2 and other greenhouse gas emissions, as well as to adapt to the impacts of climate change.
This brief updates ongoing NDC analysis by the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA) based on new pledges submitted in 2020. IRENA supports countries in the implementation and enhancement of their NDCs through accelerated deployment of renewables.

Purpose and Desire - What Makes Something "Alive" and Why Modern Darwinism Has Failed to Explain It - cover

Purpose and Desire - What Makes...

A professor, biologist, and physiologist argues that modern Darwinism's materialist and mechanistic biases have led to a scientific dead end, unable to define what life is—and only an openness to the qualities of "purpose and desire" will move the field forward. 
J. Scott Turner contends, "To be scientists, we force ourselves into a Hobson's choice on the matter: accept intentionality and purposefulness as real attributes of life, which disqualifies you as a scientist; or become a scientist and dismiss life's distinctive quality from your thinking. I have come to believe that this choice actually stands in the way of our having a fully coherent theory of life." 
Growing research shows that life's most distinctive quality, shared by all living things, is purpose and desire: maintain homeostasis to sustain life. In Purpose and Desire, Turner draws on the work of Claude Bernard, a contemporary of Darwin revered among physiologists as the founder of experimental medicine, to build on Bernard's "dangerous idea" of vitalism, which seeks to identify what makes "life" a unique phenomenon of nature. To further its quest to achieve a fuller understanding of life, Turner argues, science must move beyond strictly accepted measures that consider only the mechanics of nature.
