You didn't need a crystal ball to predict the new basic Mainline Hot Wheels Optimus Prime would be hyped to death and thus scalped to death; Ebay is full of them! In typical fashion after struggling for several weeks searching in vain for a single example I found this at B&M Bargains and saw lots at my local Aldi!
Based on the original version of Optimus Prime which according to some sources was based on a Freightliner FL86 truck and interestingly isn't the same casting used on last years articulated equivalent. Oh and don't even think about wondering whether this model transforms into a robot, Mattel accountants would never allow such decadence! ;-p

The technology of Predictive Analysis in Healthcare is a forefront contender aimed at bringing forth a technological utopia. Many Predictive Analysis Tools & Techniques are used to gain useful insights from the data, those such as Data Mining, Machine Learning & Artificial Intelligence are used for analyzing the data and make future predictions based on how well the data is analyzed.
The Healthcare Industry is surrounded by Predictive Analysis Examples such as determining which type of diseases are patients risk to suffer from. These Predictive Analytics Examples in Healthcare are an indicative of how effective Predictive Analytics has been in such a complex domain. On the other hand Predictive Analysis using Machine Learning can predict how likely a person can be affected by a particular illness. The model used for Machine Learning uses a patient records database to make predictions by determining the symptoms exhibited by the patient.
Predictive Analysis models using Big Data are designed exclusively to capitalize on the large repositories of Data available and improve their accuracy on predicting the right outcome.
Predictive Analytics using AI calls for a more advanced, accurate and efficient way of achieving better data virtualization, integration and quality.

psychopath test pclr
please score yourself 0 1 2 3 on each of the 20 items and record your score as a comment on the total score image
The PCL-R is a clinical rating scale (rated by a psychologist or other professional) of 20 items. Each of the items in the PCL-R is scored on a three-point scale according to specific criteria through file information and a semi-structured interview. A value of 0 is assigned if the item does not apply, 1 if it applies somewhat, and 2 if it fully applies. In addition to lifestyle and criminal behavior the checklist assesses glib and superficial charm, grandiosity, need for stimulation, pathological lying, conning and manipulating, lack of remorse, callousness, poor behavioral controls, impulsivity, irresponsibility, failure to accept responsibility for one's own actions and so forth. The scores are used to predict risk for criminal re-offence and probability of rehabilitation.
The current edition of the PCL-R officially lists four factors (1.a, 1.b, 2.a, and 2.b), which summarize the 20 assessed areas via factor analysis. The previous edition of the PCL-R[5] listed two factors. Factor 1 is labelled "selfish, callous and remorseless use of others". Factor 2 is labelled as "chronically unstable, antisocial and socially deviant lifestyle". There is a high risk of recidivism and currently small likelihood of rehabilitation for those who are labelled as having "psychopathy" on the basis of the PCL-R ratings in the manual for the test, although treatment research is ongoing.
PCL-R Factors 1a and 1b are correlated with narcissistic personality disorder and histrionic personality disorder. They are associated with extraversion and positive affect. Factor 1, the so-called core personality traits of psychopathy, may even be beneficial for the psychopath (in terms of nondeviant social functioning).
PCL-R Factors 2a and 2b are particularly strongly correlated to antisocial personality disorder and criminality and are associated with reactive anger, criminality, and impulsive violence. The target group for the PCL-R is convicted criminals. The quality of ratings may depend on how much background information is available and whether the person rated is honest and forthright.
[edit] The two factorsFactor 1: Personality "Aggressive narcissism"
Glibness/superficial charm
Grandiose sense of self-worth
Pathological lying
Cunning/manipulative
Lack of remorse or guilt
Shallow affect (genuine emotion is short-lived and egocentric)
Callousness; lack of empathy
Failure to accept responsibility for own actions
Factor 2: Case history "Socially deviant lifestyle".
Need for stimulation/proneness to boredom
Parasitic lifestyle
Poor behavioral control
Lack of realistic long-term goals
Impulsivity
Irresponsibility
Juvenile delinquency
Early behavior problems
Revocation of conditional release
Traits not correlated with either factor
Promiscuous sexual behavior
Many short-term marital relationships
Criminal versatility
Acquired behavioural sociopathy/sociological conditioning (Item 21: a newly identified trait i.e. a person relying on sociological strategies and tricks to deceive)
Early factor analysis of the PCL-R indicated it consisted of two factors. Factor 1 captures traits dealing with the interpersonal and affective deficits of psychopathy (e.g. shallow affect, superficial charm, manipulativeness, lack of empathy) whereas Factor 2 dealt with symptoms relating to antisocial behaviour (e.g. criminal versatility, impulsiveness, irresponsibility, poor behaviour controls, juvenile delinquency).
The two factors have been found by those following this theory to display different correlates. Factor 1 has been correlated with narcissistic personality disorder, low anxiety, low empathy, low stress reaction and low suicide risk but high scores on scales of achievement and well-being. In addition, the use of item response theory analysis of female offender PCL-R scores indicates factor 1 items are more important in measuring and generalizing the construct of psychopathy in women than factor 2 items.
In contrast, Factor 2 was found to be related to antisocial personality disorder, social deviance, sensation seeking, low socio-economic status[6] and high risk of suicide. The two factors are nonetheless highly correlated and there are strong indications they do result from a single underlying disorder. However, research has failed to replicate the two-factor model in female samples.
Recent statistical analysis using confirmatory factor analysis by Cooke and Michie indicated a three-factor structure, with those items from factor 2 strictly relating to antisocial behaviour (criminal versatility, juvenile delinquency, revocation of conditional release, early behavioural problems and poor behavioural controls) removed from the final model. The remaining items are divided into three factors: Arrogant and Deceitful Interpersonal Style, Deficient Affective Experience and Impulsive and Irresponsible Behavioural Style.
In the most recent edition of the PCL-R, Hare adds a fourth antisocial behaviour factor, consisting of those Factor 2 items excluded in the previous model. Again, these models are presumed to be hierarchical with a single unified psychopathy disorder underlying the distinct but correlated factors.
The Cooke & Michie hierarchical ‘three’-factor model has severe statistical problems—i.e., it actually contains ten factors and results in impossible parameters (negative variances)—as well as conceptual problems. Hare and colleagues have published detailed critiques of the Cooke & Michie model. New evidence, across a range of samples and diverse measures, now supports a four-factor model of the psychopathy construct,] which represents the Interpersonal, Affective, Lifestyle, and overt Antisocial features of the personality disorder.
Diagnostic criteria and PCL-R assessmentPsychopathy is most commonly assessed with the PCL-R, which is a clinical rating scale with 20 items. Each of the items in the PCL-R is scored on a three-point (0, 1, 2) scale according to two factors. PCL-R Factor 2 is associated with reactive anger, anxiety, increased risk of suicide, criminality, and impulsive violence.
PCL-R Factor 1, in contrast, is associated with extraversion and positive affect. Factor 1, the so-called core personality traits of psychopathy, may even be beneficial for the psychopath (in terms of nondeviant social functioning). A psychopath will score high on both factors, whereas someone with APD will score high only on Factor 2.
Both case history and a semi-structured interview are used in the analysis.

Predicting a spooky future: Greek independent feature film 'Ο Χειμώνας' (The Winter) by Konstantinos Koutsoliotas
The Delhi Capitals have one of the strongest squads among the eight franchises and are considered favourites to win the Indian Premier League's 14th edition. Last season, the Capitals made their first appearance in the league final, which was held in the United Arab Emirates (UAE), but they were defeated by the Mumbai Indians.
DC continued their winning streak from the IPL 2020 season into the IPL 2021 season, as they began their campaign with a victory. In their first match of the IPL 2021, Delhi Capitals defeated Chennai
Super Kings by seven wickets and earned two points.
Here’s DC’s Predicted Playing XI for IPL 2021 Match 7:
Openers (Shikhar Dhawan, Prithvi Shaw)
Delhi Capitals is expected to go with their regular opening duo of Shikhar Dhawan and Prithvi Shaw in the match against Rajasthan Royals. Both Shikhar and Prithvi seem to be on fire in the 14th edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL), and were instrumental in the team's seven-wicket victory over Chennai Super Kings in their first game.
Dhawan scored 85 runs off 54 deliveries with a strike rate of 157.41 when batting second against CSK. Shaw made headlines as well, scoring 72 runs in 38 balls, including nine boundaries and three maximums. As Delhi Capitals will be playing their second match also at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai, Shikhar and Shaw are expected to continue their assault against the opposition bowlers.
Middle Order (Rishabh Pant (C and WK), Ajinkya Rahane, Shimron Hetmyer)
In their match against Rajasthan Royals, Delhi Capitals are unlikely to make any changes to their middle order, as the trio of Rishabh Pant, Ajinkya Rahane, and Shimron Hetmyer provides the team with the required balance. Pant will bat at number three, as he did in the previous game.
In his first game as the captain, Rishabh led from the front and scored 15* off 12 deliveries. Pant and Hetmyer will be expected to demonstrate their power-hitting abilities and help the team reach a large number. In contrast, if the team loses the first few wickets quickly, Ajinkya Rahane can play the role of an anchor.
All-Rounders (Marcus Stoinis, Chris Woakes)
Marcus Stoinis, an Australian all-rounder, was a revelation for the Delhi Capitals in the IPL 2020, contributing significantly with both the willow and the ball. In the first game against CSK, Stoinis experienced a torrid run as he gave away 26 runs in his two overs along with scoring just 14 runs off 9 balls.
The all-rounder, on the other hand, is undeniably a match-winner, and DC will be hoping he regains
his form quickly. In the first game, Chris Woakes was a new addition to DC's set-up, and the seamer impressed with the ball, taking two vital wickets of Sam Curran and Ruturaj Gaikwad. In addition, the
32-year-old allowed 6 runs per over in his three-over period.
The inclusion of Woakes in the Playing XI also provides depth to the batting line-up as the England star has a good batting record in the shortest format of the game.
Bowlers (Ravichandran Ashwin, Amit Mishra, Avesh Khan, Kagiso Rabada)
Kagiso Rabada, the backbone of Delhi's bowling attack, is expected to return to the team in the game against RR. Rabada was forced to miss the first match as he was completing his seven-day quarantine period. Rabada is expected to be included in the starting lineup in place of Tom Curran, who was costly with the ball in the first match.
As DC's other pacer Anrich Nortje tested positive for coronavirus and will be unavailable for selection for the next few games, the young Avesh Khan is expected to find a place in the Playing XI. Avesh was selected for the match against CSK, and he delivered an outstanding result, taking two vital wickets in MS Dhoni and Faf du Plessis.
Coming to the spin attack, there will be no change as Amit Mishra and Ravichandran Ashwin will be the first-choice spinners.

AROUND THE WORLD IN 80 SKETCHES(or less) part 80
Setting his pedal pads back on US soil SB simulates a sigh of relief. As he predicted, the onion-tear stained paper wad had enough onion smell to deflect the path of the undead carcass long enough for SB to escape and board a departing plane.
The plane landed in New Orleans, where SB was met by a sinister hump-backed figure. The troll-like man screamed, "HOW DID YOU ESCAPE AGAIN!?!"
Huffing and puffing in frustration, the madman(as in scientist NOT Madison Avenue advertising executive) continued his ranting, "I sent a pirhanna, a super intelligent snake (who apparently wasn't all that intelligent), genetically enhanced flowers, a frost giant, a slain deer, a band of monsters including a platypus, and a zombie! Yet, here you stand. I swear by the unholy darkness that I will make a monster that will destroy you!!"
Stunned, SB hesitated in his response. The Monster Maker took SB's silence for a query.
"I have no reason to destroy you, other than I hate you! Hate, hate, hate you! OOOHHHH you shall indeed taste of my monster madness."
SB responded, "I wish you had tasted of some mouthwash. Your breath could knock a buzzard off a cadaver wagon."

In today’s Healthcare climate, it is crucial to understand the evidence available to determine which characteristics prevent walking candidacy and prosthetic fitting criteria. There are many characteristics such as age, level, etiology, cognitive ability and pre-amputation characteristics which have been identified, and are backed by evidence to form population conclusions. This presentation will help provide the US and international prosthetic professional an understanding of evidence support regarding provision of prosthetic care, for all viable amputee candidates. The purpose of this symposium is to educate the clinician regarding existing high quality evidence to support prosthetic candidacy.

"The best way to predict our future is to invent it."
(Alan Kay 1971)
Open Sailing aims to design and invent future lifestyles to overcome any possible natural and manmade disasters stimulating people’s ingenuity and sense of solidarity. Might it be global warming or energy conflicts, we are living in a time where we are sniffing the ‘Apocalypse’, finally realising our human part of responsibility as the earth is crumbling. 2012 is a year when a collection of apocalyptic events are rumored to happen. We are taking 2012 as an ideal dystopic symbol we design for. 2012 is tomorrow, we must design quickly using these constraints and invent bootstrapping DIY technologies.
Open Sailing method is to convert apocalyptic threats into design constraints. From our compiled set of threat maps, we found that oceans are the safest locations. Ocean survival architecture became our new starting point, but we need to go further than surviving : how can we live together in this new fluid configuration and remain a hyper-connected intelligent social being? We are trying to make a truly “open architecture” : pre-broken, under-defined, reconfigurable, moveable, pluggable, organic, fluid. Can we reach a harmonious dynamic state of interdependence with each other and the earth? Is this the next step of civilization progress? Will we dissociate our concept of progress with infrastructure and metropolis?

We’re not returning to ‘outdated’ predict and provide, says Robert Goodwill MP, Parliamentary under secretary of state for transport, the minister for roads and for cycling, too. He says this in a letter to Transport Xtra Magazine.
+++
I write following your coverage of the draft National Networks National Policy Statement (“Rethink ‘predict and provide’ roads policy, profession tells DfT” LTT 07 Mar).
The Government is not bringing in a programme of large-scale new road building, or working to an outdated “predict and provide” model. The draft National Policy Statement (NPS) very clearly rules this out. Our investment is foremost about improving the existing network, bringing forward schemes to improve the strategic road network where there is a strong justification based on economic benefits and quality of life, taking full account of environmental and social impacts. Almost 40% of the funding over this Parliament and next is for maintenance. Our investment in road improvements sits alongside huge investment that will transform our rail network, support sustainable transport choices and protect the environment, including supporting the uptake of ultra-low emission and electric vehicles.
++++
The letter Goodwill is referring to was packed with experts telling the Government they’re heading for disaster, if they build more roads. The experts included
transport planners, local authorities, and public transport and environmental lobby groups.
The draft NPS, on which consultation closed last week, predicts that road traffic will rise 42% in England between 2010 and 2040. This is the NPS that believes cycle use will drop, so won’t plan for cycling.
The Transport Planning Society says the road sections of the document are “one of the weakest policy statements of recent years”.
“Parts of the document dismiss key policy elements as simply irrelevant, including demand management and the use of sustainable modes. Land use planning, either to minimise the need to travel, or locate travel generators close to sustainable networks is completely missing.”
The Local Government Technical Advisers Group (TAG) calls for the statement to be totally rewritten. “So much is wrong with the starting point for this statement that it would be very damaging for the country and its people without a fresh start. The use of national traffic forecasts to continue (or revive) a policy of predict and provide is seriously flawed. The potential demand for increased travel is possibly true but a predict and provide model, even for trunk roads, is highly undesirable. It is deeply concerning that phrasing of the document belittles the benefits of investment in non-car based modes of transport,” says TAG.
The Chartered Institution of Highways and Transportation said: “CIHT does not think the document clearly establishes the need for development of the national networks, particularly on the road network. The potential for modal shift from road to rail for passengers is written off in simplistic terms, taking no account of regional and local variations. It does not address demand management in any detail.”
Dorset County Council says: “The outcome [of the NPS] is likely to be increased pressure on local roads, whilst local highway authorities are effectively starved of the funds that will be needed to resolve the resultant urban congestion. We do not think it sensible to devise an NPS that does not include strategies for the 98% of the road network outside Highways Agency control.”
On the other hand, motoring groups have welcomed the NPS. The RAC Foundation says it can find “little to disagree with” in the draft NPS.

Castel dell'Ovo (in English, Egg Castle) is a seaside castle in Naples, located on the former island of Megaride, now a peninsula, on the Gulf of Naples in Italy. The castle's name comes from a legend about the Roman poet Virgil, who had a reputation in the Middle Ages as a great sorcerer and predictor of the future. In the legend, Virgil put a magical egg into the foundations to support the fortifications. Had this egg been broken, the castle would have been destroyed and a series of disastrous events for Naples would have followed. The castle is located between the districts of San Ferdinando and Chiaia, facing Mergellina across the sea.
The Castel dell'Ovo is the oldest standing fortification in Naples. The island of Megaride was where Greek colonists from Cumae founded the original nucleus of the city in the 6th century BC. Its location affords it an excellent view of the Naples waterfront and the surrounding area. In the 1st century BC the Roman patrician Lucius Licinius Lucullus built the magnificent villa Castellum Lucullanum on the site. Fortified by Valentinian III in the mid-5th century, it was the site to which the last western Roman emperor, Romulus Augustulus, was exiled in 476.[1][2] Eugippius founded a monastery on the site after 492.

Investment pundits have been predicting the rise in price of silver for a while now. The white metal is expected to rise from its £11- £12 current spot price range in the near future. It could be an opportunity to build a sizeable stash of silver coins at the current price levels, allowing you to maximise the returns on your investment. But many investors are uncertain about the right coins to invest in. According to Daniel Fisher, founder and CEO of Physical Gold, one should never invest in obscure coins based on market conjecture. Well-known coins are a smarter choice simply because they enjoy a healthy secondary market and give you an opportunity to liquidate your investment when required within a short time span. One of the most well-known silver coins in the market is the silver Britannia.
The silver version was released by the Royal Mint after a decade of success enjoyed by the gold Britannia, which was released in 1987. The fame of the silver Britannia leapfrogged post 2013 after its purity rose to 99.9%. Coin investors don't always buy coins simply for the amount of silver that it contains. The motif and the design elements are of paramount importance to them. The silver Britannia is a winner on all these counts. Every edition of the silver Britannia portrays contemporary updated designs, which make all of these coins highly collectable.
A recent investor-focused informative video, released by Physical Gold about the silver Britannia is a great repository of information about the history, investment potential and attributes of this famous coin. In particular, the video emphasises the tax efficient nature of investments made in the silver Britannia. As legal tender in the UK, the coin enjoys a CGT free status which means profits that you make when selling your investments are tax-free up to a level. Physical Gold also sells the silver Britannia VAT free. The coin comes neatly packed into tubes of 25 or in monster boxes of 500.
There are fractional sizes of the coin available as well, which enhance divisibility in your portfolio. Reduced production costs ensure that the premiums you pay when buying the coins are kept to a minimum.
If you're a silver investor interested in putting your money on silver coins, do watch this video right away.
And so, as predicted, they nailed a wooden plank on the smashed window pane thus depriving our poor lot from the only sunlight we got in that section of the library. From now on, we'll need a flashlight to search for a book on the lower shelves...*sigh*
This afternoon I had to play the Ninja Librarian and drive out a bloke who was yelling - yes, YELLING - at his sweetheart: "JE T'AIME, MAIS SI, BON SANG, JE T'AIME" in the middle of the library. *rolls eyes*
I was paired with a chatterbox at the checkout, but I managed to finish "Narrow Dog to Carcassonne" by Terry Darlington. I enjoyed the book, even though I had to get used to the absence of quotation marks and the author isn't very kind to my country (I don't like Belgium. (...) The hole country has clearly come under control of aliens.)
I can't resist to share an excerpt with you:
Lucy, our eldest, rang at breakfast. Where are you? On the Rhône, down towards Avignon, I said. We are just getting ready to go through the Bollène lock, the second deepest in Europe. I am nervous, and your mother is nervous and we are being nasty to one another and we have made Jim [the whippet] nervous and he's whining. These locks are so big that one false step and you would never be found. Awful things happen on the Rhône. You don't know what has been going on here. We never know what to expect.
You know I just can't understand you, said Lucy. I was talking to Clifford about it and we really don't think it's good enough. I mean Cliff and I and Georgia gave you the best years of our lives. Whenever you needed us we were there. When you wanted advice we gave it, when your friends let you down we would comfort you. If you had bad luck in business or sport we would remind you what mattered was your own integrity, that bit of you inside that you know is good and no one can take away. We didn't ask for anything in return, only your love. And now we are getting old you leave us, you go off and do things against our advice. You don't care what we think any more. People ask Where are you, they have heard you are in trouble, and we say, We don't know, they probably are, they usually are. Grandmothers have evolved over millions of years so they can be back-up mothers, and grandfathers so they can put up shelves and build barbecues and give people money. Other grandparents babysit and tile their daughter's bathrooms but all you do is wander around and risk your lives and lavish your affection on a wretched dog that looks like a skeleton and steals things. You sit up drinking with people we don't know, dropouts and expats and bums and your grandchildren say Where are Granny and Grandad why can't they come to the pictures with us or take us to Chester Zoo and we say Last we heard they were being swept away down the bloody Rhône in a boat that was made for two feet of water with a dog that should be under the table in the Star or running around on the common chasing rabbits.
It was Lucy, I said, wishing us luck with the Bollène lock.
This photograph shows an aphasic stroke survivor looking at images of his MRI brain scan showing the area of his brain damaged by his stroke. The scan was taken as part of the Predicting Language Outcome and Recovery After Stroke (www.ucl.ac.uk/ploras) research study. This research is identifying the locations of stroke damage within the brain that determine the expected recovery of language. The stroke survivor in the image is coming ‘face to face’ with the location of his stroke damage, the MRI images in a sense both providing a window into the future and enabling him to come ‘face to face’ with his stroke at a biological and anatomical level. The study’s findings are being developed into a new clinical tool to ‘predict language outcome and recovery after stroke’ which should enable future aphasic stroke survivors to be given individual and accurate information about their recovery to help set rehabilitation goals.

“The medieval archaeological complex Perperikon is one of the most ancient monumental megalithic structures, entirely carved into the rocks. It is one of the most popular tourist destinations in Bulgaria.
“Religious activity at the top of the cliff began in the 5th century BC. It is associated with the beliefs of the Copper Age people, who started the cult of the sun god. Here they established the first sanctuary and started leaving food containers for the gods. These religious rites continued through the entire Bronze Age (III-II millennium BC). The sophistication of the metal tools made the hard rock cutting possible. At that time, the oval hall with a huge circular altar in its center was built. There, priests performed their sacred rituals with wine and fire. These religious practices were typical for the temple of Dionysius, which was long sought in the Rhodope mountain. The latest archaeological research shows clearly that the temple was located exactly in Perperikon. According to the legends, two crucial prophecies were made from the altar of this temple. The first one predicted great conquest and glory for Alexander the Macedonian, and the second, made several centuries later, predetermined the power and strength for the first Roman Emperor” – Gaius Julius Caesar Augustus.
“In the last millennium of the old era and the first centuries of the new one, the rock structures grew and became a town with fortified walls, palaces and suburbs. The town was probably a royal residence for the Thracian tribe Bessie. Subsequently, the Romans brought to Perperikon their luxury and refinement, and the Goths ruined and burned down Perperikon in 378 AD.
“At the beginning of the 5th century AD, the rock town became an Episcopal center after the people in the Rhodope mountain accepted Christianity. At the 7th-14th century AD, Perperikon flourished as a regional center. Many times Bulgarians and Byzantines fought for these lands. At the end of the 14th century, the Ottoman Turks conquered and destroyed the fortress, the ruins of which slowly sank into oblivion.
“Today, the ancient glory of Perperikon rises. The holy city is unique in terms of archaeological, historical, environmental and multi-religious aspects.” (bulgariatravel.org)

We are taking 2012 as an ideal dystopic symbol we design for. 2012 is tomorrow, we must design quickly using these constraints and invent bootstrapping DIY technologies.
Open Sailing method is to convert apocalyptic threats into design constraints. From our compiled set of threat maps, we found that oceans are the safest locations. Ocean survival architecture became our new starting point, but we need to go further than surviving : how can we live together in this new fluid configuration and remain a hyper-connected intelligent social being? We are trying to make a truly “open architecture” : pre-broken, under-defined, reconfigurable, moveable, pluggable, organic, fluid. Can we reach a harmonious dynamic state of interdependence with each other and the earth? Is this the next step of civilization progress? Will we dissociate our concept of progress with infrastructure and metropolis?

With snow predicted predicted to fall from gloomy skies today, a little respite as we begin the slow progress toward the summer solstice. This is an adjacent series I made during my Wrought project from a few years ago. I have always liked the look of cross-processed slide film, the way is jacks up color and deepens saturation. Made with a Rolleiflex 3.5 equipped with Rolleinar close-up attachments. I like to think of these clover flowers as summer snow.

With scientists predicting major climate changes on the horizon, Hollister Knowlton feels urgency about her work, but also hope.
She shares an analogy she's heard, that humanity is like a caterpillar that devours a tremendous amount. When it has eaten enough, spontaneously "imaginal cells" appear in its body. They are a relatively small number of cells, but somehow they migrate until they find one another. It is only when the imaginal cells reach a critical mass that the caterpillar is transformed into a pupa, the stage before becoming a butterfly.

My favorite metaphor for the current world transition, first pointed out to me by Norie Huddle (Butterfly, 1990), is that of a butterfly in metamorphosis.
It goes like this: A caterpillar crunches its way through its ecosystem, cutting a swath of destruction by eating as much as hundreds of times its weight in a day, until it is too bloated to continue and hangs itself up, its skin then hardening into a chrysalis.
Inside this chrysalis, deep in the caterpillar’s body, tiny things biologists call ‘imaginal disks’ begin to form. Not recognizing the newcomers, the caterpillar’s immune system snuffs them as they arise. But they keep coming faster and faster, then linking up with each other.
Eventually the caterpillar’s immune system fails from the stress and the disks become imaginal cells that build the butterfly by feeding on the soupy meltdown of the caterpillar’s body.
It took a long time for biologists to understand the reason for the immune system attack on the incipient butterfly cells, but eventually they discovered that the butterfly has its own unique genome, carried by the caterpillar, inherited from long ago in evolution, yet not part of it as such (Margulis & Sagan, Acquiring Genomes 2002).
If we see ourselves as imaginal discs working to build the butterfly of a better world, we will understand that we are launching a new ‘genome’ of values and practices to replace that of the current unsustainable system. We will also see how important it is to link with each other in the effort, to recognize how many different kinds of imaginal cells it will take to build a butterfly with all its capabilities and colors.

"The caterpillars new cells are called 'imaginal cells.' They resonate at a different frequency. They are so totally different from the caterpillar cells that his immune system thinks they are enemies...and gobbles them up--Chomp! Gulp! But these new imaginal cells continue to appear. More and more of them! Pretty soon, the caterpillar's immune system cannot destroy them fast enough. More and more of the imaginal cells survive. And then an amazing thing happens! The little tiny lonely imaginal cells start to clump together, into friendly little groups. They all resonate together at the same frequency, passing information from one to another. Then, after awhile, another amazing thing happens! The clumps of imaginal cells start to cluster together!.., A long string of clumping and clustering imaginal cell, all resonating at the same frequency, all passing information from one to another there inside the chrysalis."

These images were taken during the last week of April, 2016. Some 14 months previously we'd watched some low-level maintenance work on the opposite banks, and (I) predicted that some destabilised sections might be a problem. Whilst engineering works were on-going 1km down-river during all this entire period, there had been minimal activity in the Slang/Rehills section. That had finally changed. A new contractor had been tendered to implement further/final repair work to the entire Slang/Rehills section, with emphasis on repairs to the integrity of the rebuilt bank structures.

"In June 2017, 12 more moons were found orbiting the planet Jupiter, to a total of 79. These are divided in three large groups: while the two groups that orbit nearer the planet do so in the direction of Jupiter's rotation, the third rotates in the opposite direction and at a greater distance. However, a moon was found in this distant group moving in the direction of the rotation of Jupiter, contrarily to all the surrounding moons. This peculiar characteristic makes it possible to predict an inevitable collision, reason why the scientists called it "Valetudo". Boris is currently scanning its surface to try to get answers before it's too late."
How to predict the future with big data: Thomas Nørmark at TedxVennelystBlvd
In his talk Thomas Nørmark introduces us into the secret mechanisms of future predictions. This has nothing to do with fortune telling but patterns in big data. He illustrates how big data allows us to look into the future and even predict our individual future lives. He shows why you should see this inevitable development as an opportunity rather than a threat.
Thomas Nørmark is the head of innovation at itelligence Nordic. With his team he works on solutions using predictive analysis. He developed a “time machine” consisting of systems and solutions for predicting the future using social media data, object recognition and predictive analysis algorithms. One of his recent programs is to predict the movement of fish along Australia's coast. He hold a Master's degree in Computer Science from Aarhus University and gained extensive experience as SAP software consultant. When he was only nine years old, Thomas ran eight marathons and won bronze medal at The National Chess Championship.
