Preppers. Carte mentale. Mystery of the Ages. I was returning to my hotel in New Delhi some years ago from a private conference with the late Mrs.
Indira Gandhi, Prime Minister of India. Ever since arriving in India I had noticed cows and oxen wandering through the streets. I had never seen such animals straying loosely through city streets in any other country. ”Don’t these cattle stray quite a distance from home?” I asked of the car driver. The 3rd Mission of Universities has been activated. The Age of NGO's Rise to Power. What Freedom Are We Fighting For? Pt. 4/5 – The Dogma of Advertising and Consumerism. As the call for freedom in the Middle-East cements itself into Western activist culture, some of us continue to question the extent to which a culture so consumed in consumerism is able to make such a call.
This is considered in light of major and more nuanced social and psychological problems that arise from such ‘freedoms.’ In what follows I wish to highlight a few of these disturbances, which are often overlooked. It’s not clear how many advertisements we are exposed to every day. Taking into account the average hours of TV viewing, radio listening, newspapers/magazine reading, internet surfing, public street and transport use; common estimates range from around 250 per day on the conservative side, to 3000 and above.

Noam Chomsky on Where Artificial Intelligence Went Wrong - Technology. An extended conversation with the legendary linguist Graham Gordon Ramsay If one were to rank a list of civilization's greatest and most elusive intellectual challenges, the problem of "decoding" ourselves -- understanding the inner workings of our minds and our brains, and how the architecture of these elements is encoded in our genome -- would surely be at the top.
Yet the diverse fields that took on this challenge, from philosophy and psychology to computer science and neuroscience, have been fraught with disagreement about the right approach. In 1956, the computer scientist John McCarthy coined the term "Artificial Intelligence" (AI) to describe the study of intelligence by implementing its essential features on a computer. Instantiating an intelligent system using man-made hardware, rather than our own "biological hardware" of cells and tissues, would show ultimate understanding, and have obvious practical applications in the creation of intelligent devices or even robots.

Wingardium leviosa! Wand used to make water levitate. Caroline Morley, online picture researcher (Image: Dan Harris/courtesy Argonne National Laboratory) These drops of liquid really are floating in mid-air.
It's not a trick photo and they're not in the microgravity of space. But NASA does have something to do with this wizardry: an acoustic levitator that the agency originally developed is holding the droplets in place. The levitator consists of two small speakers, one above the other, which generate sound waves at frequencies of about 22 kilohertz - slightly higher than humans can hear.
