AI allows paralyzed person to ‘handwrite’ with his mind…
October 24, 2019
Electrodes implanted in a part of the brain involved in motion have allowed some paralyzed patients to move a cursor and select onscreen letters with their thoughts. Users have typed up to 39 characters per minute, but that’s still about three times slower than natural handwriting. In the new experiments, a volunteer paralyzed from the neck down instead imagined moving his arm to write each letter of the alphabet. That brain activity helped train a computer model known as a neural network to interpret the commands, tracing the intended trajectory of his imagined pen tip to create letters (above). Eventually, the computer could read out the volunteer’s imagined sentences with roughly 95% accuracy at a speed of about 66 characters per minute...

The Drudge Report featured an altered map of the U.S. to include the Mexican border extending up to the border of the Rocky Mountain State, leading to some conservative media observers to pushback on the longtime conservative blog, noting that they think it seems that Matt Drudge, the site's founder, has seemed to recently sour on the president... One conservative commentator said that the Drudge website was "like reading CNN these days" and another called Drudge "anti-Trumper number one."

October 24, 2019
A Texas dad’s desperate battle to keep his 7-year-old child from undergoing a gender transition championed by the biological male’s mother has captured the attention of conservatives nationwide – including the Lone Star State’s governor, who announced a review of the case by top officials, even as all involved await a pivotal court ruling Thursday that could alter the youngster’s life forever.

October 24, 2019
Younger still has the option to appeal the jury verdict on Monday and seek sole custody of his sons, but the costly process could take time and possibly not legally prevent the first round of sexually altering medication from being administered to James. Having a say in his son's life and medical statements provide relief to that deadline.
Republican Texas Gov. Gregg Abbott claimed on Wednesday night that the Texas attorney general and the Texas Department of Family and Protective Services were investigating the case of James Younger while Sen. Ted Cruz decried the jury decision as "horrifying & tragic" and Georgulas' plans were tantamount to "child abuse."

The cause of death of the eight women and 31 men has yet to be established, Essex Police said in a statement... Police believe the container came from Belgium into England early Wednesday morning, while the journey of the truck that transported it is believed to have originated in Northern Ireland. Belgium's Federal Prosecutor, Eric van der Sypt, told CNN that a people-trafficking investigation has been opened. "At this point we don't know whether these people entered the container at (the Belgian port of) Zeebrugge or whether it arrived with them already onboard,"
