Sebastian Seung: I am my connectome – Ted Talk

Click link below picture

.

Sebastian Seung is mapping a massively ambitious new model of the brain that focuses on the connections between each neuron. He calls it our “connectome,” and it’s as individual as our genome — and understanding it could open a new way to understand our brains and our minds.

Do Schools Kill Creativity?

FROM

Click link below picture

.

I’ve spoken twice at TED. The first time was in 2006. TED was a very different event then. It was a private conference for about 1,200 people. After the event, the talks were packaged in a box set of DVDs and sent just to the attendees. I gave a talk called “Do Schools Kill Creativity?” A few months later, Chris Anderson, the curator of TED, called to say they were planning to put a few talks on their website as an experiment and asked if they could include mine. The timing was perfect. Social media was beginning to take shape and the insatiable appetite for YouTube and short videos was about to emerge.

Karen Tse (Premiere): Abolishing Torture

FROM

Click link below picture

.

Watch human rights lawyer Karen Tse explain why it’s possible to end torture anywhere in the world in our lifetime.

While my TED talk was categorized under the “Dark Side”, what I wanted to share most deeply was the beauty and light that courageous lawyers and defenders bring into the darkest corners of police stations and prisons cells. At International Bridges to Justice, our goal is that a lawyer will meet someone as soon as possible after detention.

Salman Khan: Let’s Use Video To Reinvent Education

FROM

Click link below picture

.

Watch Salman Khan discuss the reinvention of education through video, then read a follow-up post by YouTube Education’s Angela Lin below.

Growing up, my mother always told me: “You’ll learn more from a journey of 10,000 miles than from reading 10,000 books.” For years I thought it was a saying she had invented, a justification for taking me out of school for weeks at a time to satisfy her love of travel. I later realized she was quoting an old Chinese proverb that summed up the importance of gaining firsthand experience when learning about new ideas, new people and new cultures.

This is an amazing video on human life from conception to birth

FROM AN EMAIL FROM A FRIEND

Click link below slideshow

.

This is an amazing video on human life from conception to birth using the newest x-ray scanning technology that won its two inventors the Nobel Peace Prize. This is a remarkable color video every person should see. 

.

This slideshow requires JavaScript.

This is so amazing that is difficult to comprehend how the body knows exactly when, where, and how to develop these intricate organs in perfect order.  Can anyone truly believe their is no God?  How can people kill an unborn baby and say it is simply protoplasm that is not living.
