So It Goes

The partners of disabled people can also be effected in different ways from being in a relationship with that person.Sometimes the relationship started when both of the people were able bodied and the other person later became disabled. Or perhaps the relationship started when the other person was already disabled and the other partner already knew this.  Which ever way that you got together with your disabled partner it will take a little bit of adapting to life with that person. Sometimes partners may act as unofficial - or official carers - to their loved ones. This can be rewarding and help the person to become a more caring and compassionate human being as they learn about disabilities and the difficulties and differences that disabled people might go through. However, having a disabled partner can also be emotionally and physically draining and the partners may need someone to talk to about it themselves. There are a number of support groups just for carers an...

                DABUS's output gets progressively more surreal as cognitive flow is reduced DABUS is a new type of AI that paves the way for smarter machines. Nothing new there - but this machine-learning system is different. DABUS, short for "device for the autonomous bootstrapping of unified Sentience", is deliberately created to be mentally unstable. Since the 90s, computer scientist Stephen Thaler has been injecting noise into a special neural network to generate novel ideas. Thaler, CEO of Missouri-based  Imagination Engines , calls this module an Imagitron. The stream of creativity is assessed by a second network called a Perceptron, which provides feedback to improve ideas. This AI approach of neural networks playing off each other has been adopted by Facebook, Google and others - under the name "generative adversarial networks" - as a method of creating images that look authentic to human observers. Now Thaler has introduced...

Federal Communications Commission Chairman Ajit Pai on Tuesday followed through on his pledge to repeal 2015 regulations designed to ensure that internet service providers treat all online content and apps equally, setting up a showdown with consumer groups and internet companies who fear the move will stifle competition and innovation. The current rules, known as net neutrality, impose utility-style regulation on ISPs such as  Comcast ,  AT&T  and  Verizon  to prevent them from favoring their own digital services over those of their rivals. Pai said that he believes the net neutrality rules adopted during the Obama administration discourage the ISPs from making investments in their network that would provide even better and faster online access. “Under my proposal, the federal government will stop micromanaging the internet,” Pai said in a statement. Pai distributed his alternative plan to other FCC commissioners Tuesday in preparation for a Dec...

                                                The word “collagen” comes from the Greek word for glue, and that’s a helpful way to think about the role collagen plays in your physical health. In your skeleton, tendons, muscles, skin and even your teeth, collagen is a structural protein that binds cells and tissues together while helping them maintain shape and integrity. But your body produces less and less collagen as you age. And some supplement- and food-makers are marketing collagen products as a way to boost your body’s levels of it. “Collagen is basically the sale of amino acids,” says Dr. Mark Moyad, director of preventative and alternative medicine at the University of Michigan, and author of  The Supplement Handbook . Amino acids are protein’s building blocks, and supplements and foods that have collagen contain chains of collagen-derived protein ...

If you think “old” means “tame,” read on to be proven wrong. In the first half of the 1900s, a famous photographer who went by the name “Weegee” became popular for his raw and honest crime scene photos — often taken even before police arrived at the scene. His name was a play on the idea that he was like a Ouija board, always knowing where the next crime was going to take place. His real name was Arthur Fellig, and, once you get past the shock factor, there’s a real art to the ease with which he captured the horror of human injury. He traversed the Lower East Side of Manhattan in the 1930s, and his camera caught a lot. Take a look: Standard Practice Dead Guys As a crime scene photographer, Weegee did exactly what was needed of him: he captured the scenes in every stage of an investigation. Here we see a specialist examining a corpse lying on the sidewalk — just one of the many stages of cleaning up a murder that Weegee was assigned to cover. Standard Practice Dead Gal...

Janet Jackson shows off her new physique at an event this month for Out magazine in New York. Janet Jackson's dance moves aren't the only thing garnering applause from fans during her "State of the World" tour. The 51-year-old new mom is sporting a sleek physique that her trainer says she accomplished without putting in massive hours of cardio, reportedly shedding 70 pounds. Paulette Sybliss told E! she started a "vigorous training schedule" with the superstar six weeks after the singer gave birth to son Eissa in January. "We were training a minimum of four times a week, and the sessions were never less than 45 minutes, no more than an hour," Sybliss said. "Very intense though, very intense training." And while Jackson was intent on shedding her pregnancy pounds, Sybliss said she focused the training on adding lean muscle to her client to help her be in her best shape for the concert tour. The trainer said they did back-to-ba...

Sometimes, the angle of the photograph, the position of the subject, the background, and people’s emotions on their faces, make a picture turn out to be really funny. Sometimes a funny picture may look like something which actually it is not and you really need to look at it to understand what it actually is. Some of these  funny pictures  have even been deemed offensive and have been removed by website administrators, who did not realize that they were not what they look like. Here are some funny pictures that will give you a laugh if you don’t understand what they are actually. 1- Woman With The Face Of A Dog The dog’s face doesn’t belong to the woman. The woman’s face is hidden behind the seat while the dog’s face is protruding in the picture which makes you think it’s a dog with a woman’s body. 2- The Woman Grabbing Her Crotch It may look like a vulgar picture to look at, this is actually a woman grabbing the legs of her friend in black. 3- A Wom...
