Artificial Intelligence is 50 years old
Artificial Intelligence as a research field was born in the summer of 1956 during a seminal workshop at Dartmouth College in Hanover, New Hampshire. It was just a year before that when Marvin Minsky, Nathaniel Rochester, Claude Shannon and John McCarthy proposed that they should hold a workshop to put together a roadmap about how to make machines think and learn similarly to humans.
USDA Report states that Genetically Modified Foods are on the rise in France
France is expected to experience an explosion in the planting of genetically modified (GM) corn crops this year, according to a recent United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) report. The USDA Global Agriculture Information Network (GAIN) study reported that the planting of French Bt corn crops is expected to grow from approximately 500 hectares (about 1,236 acres) in 2005 to 5,000 hectares (about 12,355 acres).
Agricultural Biotechnology holds Tremendous Promise for the World
Recently, I came across a very interesting commentary from The Times Kenya entitled "Biotechnology only solution to feed the world." The piece reaffirms what scientists, researchers, and genetically modified food advocates have stated for years: that biotechnology holds tremendous promise for the world, especially for the developing world.

SETI (Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence) and the Aliens Conundrum...
On the face of it, the difference between intersubjectivity and empathy is double: Intersubjectivity requires an EXPLICIT, communicated agreement between at least two subjects. It pertains to EXTERNAL things (so called "objective" entities). Yet, these "differences" are artificial. This is how empathy is defined in "Psychology - An Introduction (Ninth Edition) by Charles G.
EYE LASIK SURGERY: SAY BYE BYE TO SPECTACLES AND CONTACT LENSES
Eye lasik surgery is a form of surgery which is done over the eyes. Eye lasik surgery is simply a procedure which is considered as effective for an individual who is virtually dependent upon the constant use of spectacles and contact lenses. The full form of LASIK is Laser-Assisted in Situ Keratomileusis.
Simmons-Smith reaction in aroma chemical industry.
Simmons-Smith Cyclopropylation reaction in aroma industry Abstract: It is a versatile reaction for introducing Cyclopropyl group in place of the double bond. It is used to make high profile synthetic aroma chemicals. This reaction involves the treatment of the double bond compound with Dihalo-methane like Dibromomethane,Diiodo methane and zinc-copper couple.
When you receive the Seal you will begin to care for the environment of the earth. Researchers have recently found that the whole ecosystem of the earth depends on the life on the ocean floor.
9 out of 10 of all living creatures on the bottom of the ocean are nematodes. And they account for most of the life on the whole earth too. The biodiversity of those nematodes makes the whole ecosystem work better.
The ecosystem of the oceans functions exponentially better when there are more diverse kinds of nematodes on the bottom of the ocean floor, according to this new study.
On the dry land of the earth there is a more linear relationship between biodiversity and the ecosystem. But in the deep sea, biodiversity exponentially increases the "efficiency" of the ecosystem.
And "efficiency" is how well the ecosystem gets energy from food sources. So the creatures in the deep sea (and therefore the rest of the oceans) are complementary to one other in the community.
The biosphere is the ecosystem of the whole earth, seas, dry land, and atmosphere. The biosphere is highly dependent on the life of the ocean floor, which sustains the life of the rest of the ocean and then the whole biosphere.
One thing ocean life is doing is sustaining the make-up of the atmosphere and warding off any worse effects of the pollution people are putting into the air. So deep-sea ocean life is vital to fighting global warming.
In global warming, greenhouse gases and mainly carbon dioxide, are blamed for causing a "greenhouse effect" where warmth is trapped in the atmosphere where it should be escaping.
As temperatures rise just a little bit, the global consequences are devastating. There has been a sharp rise in windstorms, droughts, and floods. The hurricanes of 2005 (like Katrina) that hit the United States are examples of bad weather caused by global warming.
Unfortunately the life that is holding together the biosphere of the earth is now considered particularly vulnerable to the climate change of global warming. That is what a recent study shows.
An unusual warming in the eastern Mediterranean was studied and researchers found "extensive" change in deep-sea biodiversity as a result. To make it clear, there was less biodiversity and not more.
Less biodiversity on the ocean floor means less efficient feeding in the rest of the ocean. That will upset the delicate balance of the ecosystem of the ocean. And when that happens our main weapon against global warming is useless.
When you are sealed you will start to care for the environment. When God seals you He plants a little garden in you. His purpose is that you bear fruit for Him. But there is another result of the garden.
You begin to understand the ecosystem of the whole earth since you are a little model of the earth in your garden. And when you see anything threaten that, you see it just like a threat to your garden.
Just like you do not want anything to interfere with what God is doing for you, you do not need anything destroying the ecosystem of the earth either. Global warming will ruin the earth.
So when you are sealed you will begin to care for the earth. Because what threatens the earth now is similar to what threatens your status as the chosen of God. And you do not want that. You want to receive the Seal.
