Get Familiar With Detroit Techno: 10 Essential Songs. Hide captionA Michigan license plate on exhibit at the techno museum run by Submerge and housed in the label's building. Wills Glasspiegel for NPR Although widely associated with Europe, techno music was invented in Detroit and its suburbs in the early 1980s by young African-Americans armed with drum machines, futurist ideals and a predilection for Kraftwerk. Artists like Juan Atkins, Derrick May and Kevin Saunderson used whatever technology they could get their hands on to pioneer a cutting-edge sound made up of growling synths and driving dance beats. In the process, they set in motion one of the essential musical movements of the 20th century. The music eventually found its largest audience across the Atlantic, but most of the original techno innovators still work out of the Motor City. This Memorial Day weekend most will be in town for the annual Movement Electronic Music Festival. The Rise of Killer Drones That Can Think for Themselves.

There must be a crazy-haired mad scientist roaming the U.S. military’s research laboratories unsupervised. That’s the most reasonable explanation for the military's latest advancement in drone technology. Drones, also known as Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV), are flying robots remotely operated by pilots thousands of miles away, allowing soldiers to spy, survey, and obliterate the so-called enemy at the press of a button, much like a video game, except in the real world people die.
According to the Washington Post’s Peter Finn, the U.S. military is a decade or so away from deploying an army of pilotless drones capable of collaborating with one another in order to hunt down, identify, and annihilate an enemy combatant all on their own, without any human guidance. Superhuman Powers: Programmed Reasoning and Biometrics. Coming Soon From the Air Force: Mind-Reading Drones | Danger Room. Scientifically speaking, it’s only a matter of time before drones become self-aware and kill us all. Now the Air Force is hastening that day of reckoning.
Buried within a seemingly innocuous list of recent Air Force contract awards to small businesses are details of plans for robot planes that not only think, but anticipate the moves of human pilots. And you thought it was just the Navy that was bringing us to the brink of the drone apocalypse. It all starts with a solution for a legitimate problem.
The answer: Design an algorithm that reads people’s minds. Enter Soar Technology, a Michigan company that proposes to create something it calls “Explanation, Schemas, and Prediction for Recognition of Intent in the Terminal Area of Operations,” or ESPRIT. Not presuming that every flight will go according to plan, the Schema Engine’s “cognitive explanation mechanism” will help the drone figure out if a pilot is flying erratically or out of control. And Soar’s not the only one. See Also: Online Books : "Golden Guide Hallucinogenic Plants" - pg 21-30.

Man, in primitive societies everywhere, has shown great ingenuity and perspicacity in bending hallucinogenic plants to his uses.PLANTS MAY BE EATEN, either fresh or dried, as are peyote and teononacatl, or juice from the crushed leaves may be drunk, as with Salvia divinorum (in Mexico). Occasionally a plant derivative may be eaten, as with hasheesh. FLY AGARIC MUSHROOM, Amanita muscaria may be one of man's oldest hallucinogens. The use of this mushroom as an orgiastic and shamanistic inebriant was discovered in Siberia in 1730. AGARA (Galbulimima Belgraveana) is a tall forest tree of Malaysia and Australia.

How Killer Student Debt and Unemployment Made Young People the Leaders at Occupy Wall Street. This Occupy Wall Street sign is my favorite: The sign has a clever double meaning. The young have the most to lose by standing idle and not having their voices heard in the political process, and they have the most to lose by actually being idle — or unemployed. The media hasn’t learned the lessons from the 1960s, as there is still a tendency to dismiss young people protesting because they are young.
You can see this phenomenon in the original New York Times coverage, and it appears in much of the rest. But at the heart of dismissals of young college kids in the 1960s was the idea that they had a very bright future ahead of them that they were taking for granted. For instance, here’s President Nixon in the New York Times, May 1970: You know, you see these bums, you know, blowin’ up the campuses. Can it be argued that young people, college educated or not, are particularly lucky in this recession? But let’s focus on the young.
This impacts everyone who is young. The Motion Picture Production Code of 1930 (Hays Code) A Code to Govern the Making of Talking, Synchronized and Silent Motion Pictures. Formulated and formally adopted by The Association of Motion Picture Producers, Inc. and The Motion Picture Producers and Distributors of America, Inc. in March 1930. Motion picture producers recognize the high trust and confidence which have been placed in them by the people of the world and which have made motion pictures a universal form of entertainment. They recognize their responsibility to the public because of this trust and because entertainment and art are important influences in the life of a nation. Hence, though regarding motion pictures primarily as entertainment without any explicit purpose of teaching or propaganda, they know that the motion picture within its own field of entertainment may be directly responsible for spiritual or moral progress, for higher types of social life, and for much correct thinking.

Lies, hypocrisy and hidden agendas. This is what United States President Barack Obama did not dwell on when explaining his Libya doctrine to America and the world. United Nations Security Council resolution 1973 has worked like a Trojan horse, allowing the Anglo-French-American consortium - and the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) - to become the UN's air force in its support of an armed uprising.
Lieutenant General Charles Bouchard of Canada, NATO's commander for Libya, may insist all he wants that the mission is purely designed to protect civilians. The full verdict on the UN-mandated no-fly zone will have to wait for the emergence of a "rebel" government and the end of the civil war (if it ends soon). For the moment at least, it's quite easy to identify the profiteers. NATO NATO's master plan is to rule the Mediterranean as a NATO lake. Saudi Arabia What a deal. Emily age questions. Middle East Protests: An animated map. - By Elizabeth Weingarten and Chris Wilson. Teenage Brains.
Although you know your teenager takes some chances, it can be a shock to hear about them. One fine May morning not long ago my oldest son, 17 at the time, phoned to tell me that he had just spent a couple hours at the state police barracks. Apparently he had been driving "a little fast. " What, I asked, was "a little fast"? Turns out this product of my genes and loving care, the boy-man I had swaddled, coddled, cooed at, and then pushed and pulled to the brink of manhood, had been flying down the highway at 113 miles an hour. "That's more than a little fast," I said. He agreed. He did, however, object to one thing. "Well," I huffed, sensing an opportunity to finally yell at him, "what would you call it? " "It's just not accurate," he said calmly. " 'Reckless' sounds like you're not paying attention.
"I guess that's what I want you to know. Actually, it did make me feel better. Through the ages, most answers have cited dark forces that uniquely affect the teen.

Ideas of Reference - Definition of Ideas of Reference. Definition: Ideas of reference involve the belief that casual events, people's remarks, etc. are referring to oneself when, in fact, they are not. Some sources use the terms "ideas of reference" and "delusions of reference" interchangeably. Other sources differentiate between the two, saying that ideas of reference have less impact on the person's life as a whole.
According to these sources, if ideas of reference reach the point of strongly held beliefs or cause impairment of functioning, they become delusions of reference.

December 21st, 2010 by Mike 1. Above-Average Intelligence Most Adderall users possess higher-than-average intelligence. With or without Adderall, they are uniquely capable people, and are often pursing various “brainy” goals like staying competitive at prestigious universities, succeeding at intellectually-challenging careers, and thinking of all kinds of smart things they’d like to do with their life.
What’s more, the verbal intelligence of the average Adderall abuser is typically quite high. So, what makes an already-smart person reach for pills nicknamed “smarties?” 2. Pretty much like this except with more anxiety and self-consciousness. I’ve met a lot of Adderall users over the years, and I’m always surprised by how good-looking they are. Without fail, when I meet a new Adderall user in person after getting to know them online, my first thought is usually “wow…they’re really attractive.” 3.
Billy! Adderall takers are frequently “creative types.” 4. Ugh. 5. So Adderall comes along. 6. Opinions - Swim's most euphoric combination. SWIM felt the most euphoria he's probably ever felt off MDMA and marijuana Followed by heroin and marijuana and then MDMA and LSD and marijuana any euphoric feeling he's had could technically be considered a "combination" because he smokes marijuana no matter what he's doing well, except for lately. since SWIM developed a heroin habit, marijuana gives him horrible panic attacks that feel like certain death for a short period of time.
Tiger Tales: A Detroit Tigers Blog: Catcher Defense - Part 2. In an earlier post, I touched upon the difficulty of measuring pitcher handling by catchers. Numerous Studies have been done regarding this issue, but none have shown conclusively that pitcher handling is a skill that can be repeated from one year to the next. This is perplexing because so many people inside the game insist that pitcher handling is very important and that some catchers are significantly better at it than others. One possible solution is John Dewan's catcher earned run saved statistic described in my previous post. However, that measure is a work in progress and is limited by small sample sizes for pitcher/catcher duos. Other catcher duties are easier to quantify than pitcher handling because they are somewhat independent of pitchers.
This includes throwing out base runners, preventing passed balls and wild pitches and avoiding throwing and fielding errors. Martinez had a CS% of 21% meaning that he threw out 21 percent of base runners attempting to steal. Forums > Why English Teachers Die Young.
