Crows are one of the smartest of the birds.
For example, crows understand analogies, can exercise self-control, can fashion tools and like to play—all signs of what we call “intelligence.”
An article that appeared in the science journal PLOS ONE in July 2014 puts a comparison estimate on that brainpower: the authors concluded that crows are just as good at reasoning as a human seven-year-old child.

It occurred to me when I was processing this image that it is chock full of lines, all of them leading in one way or another to the cyclist making his escape from this underpass. Not something I saw when I took the shot mind you but i like to think my photographer's mind was processing the shot in the deepest recesses of my brain, even as I was raising the camera, seeing all those possibilities long before I pushed the shutter.
Or maybe i just wanted a shot of the cyclist. Ah well, if only...
Our Papillon Rigsy having fun at the lake.
Beauty: Ears that resemble the outspread wings of a butterfly, a long flowing coat, and plumed tail all contribute to the Papillon’s elegant grace. Lovers of the breed refer to it as “sensible glamour” because Papillons are relatively easy to groom. In fact the phrase, “I woke up like this” may have been coined with the Papillon in mind.
Brains: Papillons can be trained to do almost anything. They thrive on mental stimulation and work. Far from being just ornamental, the Papillon’s trainability and eagerness to please help him excel in everything from dog sports to tricks to the show ring. Papillons also tend to learn from every experience, whether good or bad, so consistent, positive training is a must. With all that brainpower, there’s no end to what you can teach him.
Versatility: These lively, alert little dogs are good at everything they try. In fact, they’re one of the most popular toy breed in obedience trials. They do well in agility, too, and seem to fly over the obstacle course. They’re also natural retrievers; try one out with a miniature Frisbee and see who gets tired first.

more tribute to the Bubs....here he is on one of our first outings together after adoption where we were testing his history of bolting and excitability around other animals. nothing happened at the creemie stand but later he bolted at the local supermarket, caught a neighborhood free-range chicken and displayed his male hunting prowess to another innocent pooch bystander. it was proof he wasn't aggressive with animals (yeah, with chickens) but i never took him in the car again. all the challenges were worth his amazing loyalty, intuitive brainpower, sweetness around children and mailmen, affectionate thigh blocking, and gazing at the stars and swaying trees out in the backyard. and that's how we ended it together.

No relation to the similarly-named graphic novel or film. I just thought the title suited the theme of the picture!
Witches Samille and Chailai were born without magical ability, but that doesn't stop them from banding together in the stairwell after school to ply their brainpower and willpower against the most difficult assignments. Their college mentor, Raja, is especially proud.

I call her "Principessa", when I'm not calling her "Dumb Bunny"! All her brainpower is devoted to being the cutest thing alive, and maintaining adorability 24/7 and that includes while she's sleeping!

I've had this kind of shot in mind since before i started this 365, but when we started planning for Iceland I decided that was the time to do it, so today it happened! Light wasn't great, but to be honest that probably made making the shot a bit easier, and I also wasn't sure I had the brainpower to come up with another shot if this one didn't work out!
I don't need my muscles for some brainpower.

My best friend never ceases to amaze me.
Love ya.
Another from the super top-secret, coveted khajana of pictures from AS's first birthday. The pictures I've been hoarding for ages but never got around to processing or uploading :p Hopefully I'll get those up soon, his parents have been asking for months. It's a standing joke that the pictures from his first birthday will be the present for his second :p
I had a nice day :) Took a much needed break and some time to myself.. Neglected everything, I will probably regret it later today, but that's okay. Maybe I'll have some fresh brainpower now, at the very least!
Being too busy is never an excuse, it only means that I didn't do something, but this week was absolute mayhem for me. No time or energy or brainpower left for photographing and flickring about. 886 unread messages, a big pile of laundry, I'm now trying to catch up on some of those stuff I should've done long ago. Thank you so much for all the comments, see you latter on your page.
@Tony, Evan, I promise I'll write back soon.
@Axl., thank you so much for the testimonial and a flower, they're so lovely.
@Will, thanks again for sharing your panography image with us. I'll delete mine this weekend.
@Stu, yes this is what I mentioned earlier.
Have a fabulous weekend, everyone!
This was originally part of the structure meant to tower above "Abandoned", which was scrapped, but is now making a return, albeit with a few conceptual changes, in The Workshop's Gothic: Mistlands public collab running throghout the fall season (until mid-December, feel free to join in).
With the given changes to the rest of the model, this particular tower and classic gothic groined vault design, that I spent 90 bucks and a good few days of brainpower on, most likely won't fit in anymore. So before it ends up forgotten, I thought I'd share it here in hopes that it may be of use for some of your projects.
Please do let me know what you think and feel free to improve upon the design!
Cheers
Designed by 陈晓
From 50x50cm Biotope Paper (One piece only, including the umbrella)
One of the most amazing origami works by Chen Xiao. Luckily, I can find the Guide on his facebook page. This model took several days to make, as I need to treat it with Methyl Cellulose and wait for it to dry over and over again (maybe 5 phases).
Overall, the structure of this model is so awesome, I like how the designer managed to make her head. Of course, it is a good reference for my future design... Currently designing something that takes a lot of time and brainpower...

A sunny early afternoon swim in a crystal-clear turquoise body of water.
Staring at my original photograph has triggered memories from the Minority Report film, with Tom Cruise. I think this is one of the best creations of Steven Spielberg and one of those movies I would definitely watch more than once.
The three young women holding hands in the water, making a star formation, resemble the Precogs (Precognitives) in the movie. Their powerful psychic abilities are key in predicting and projecting premeditated murders... but I'll let you watch the movie, if you haven't already.
I changed the water look, altered the daylight, added the rays, and gave the image more pop.
We can say many things about human beings & our nature, but our ability to create and bring joy into this world goes way over the negative side. Science, poetry, literature, art, and yes, the internet too. Photography, travels, music, philosophy, inspiration. America! Mountains, roads, cities, rivers. Colors. Color orange. What if life on earth didn't exist, and we were just a planet, a space. How powerful is the human brain? How fantastic everything it can create and be able to see beauty in any situation.
People say to be happy don’t look at those who have it better than you, but look at those who have less than you. People’s strength & brainpower is inspiring.

(this is like the third time I've edited this picture on aviary because it won't upload. My editing gets progressively less careful)
so i kicked some serious homework ass, and read 3 chapters in the last hour, and did the quizzes at the end of the chapters. i was reading about pre/post op procedures, then i read about wound care, and got to look at gory pics☺.
now i am taking a break and i am going to watch into the wild (i love that film).
"Are ya sure this is gonna work?" Thirn asked as they nearly reached the gate. "Just sayin' ,the men at the gate proberbly have our signature." "Of course I am, It's a great plan, I made it together with Martin" Roger awnsered "The combined brainpower of men and gnome"Te dwarf sighed "that is exectly what I'm so frightened of. I sure hope that it works for ya lad, or else I'm gonna hit you and Martin with the biggest stick I can find."
As they reached the gate, Thirn's fear almost became reality. "stop!" the guard said "Don't I know you from somewhere?" Fortunately, "Celdric saw the danger and quickly stepped in "Yes, you lost a bet and you own the two little gentlemen here some gold still." The man stepped back "Uhm, on the other hand, I think Iight have neen wrong, I deffinately don't know you at al, please continue on yer way."
they passed the other gates without wurther problems and before the Edorians knew it, they stood inside the keep.
Thirn put of his helmet "alright, Roger where do we find the dungeons?" "Uhm eh... I don't really know." Roger admitted "You could ask the rats." Martin laughed "Great idea Martin! Totally forgot about that." "Eh Roger, I was being sarcastic." Roger looked surprised "You mean that you can't talk to animals?" The others shaked their heads "Oh... this is wakward, I thought everybody could do it. well I'm gonna find some, just wait for me here" after about hlf an hour the gnome came back "They said that the dungeons are on the lowest level, wich we actually could have figured out on ourselves, I think.” Thirn pulles his axe out“In that case, lets go get there!” and ran to the most nearby staircase. “Uhm Thirn, they also said that the only things that’re in the dungeons at this moment, are two dead guards.” The dwarf immediately stopped and turned aroun “So Ya sain’ the prisoners escaped?” Roger nodded “Well then, less work for us! But seriously, we’re they now?” “If I know William as good as I think I do, he is proberbly heading for the armoury.”Martin said “He is wanting to have the best chance to escape, and that includes strong armour and sharp weapons.” “Well then” Celdric said “let’s find the armoury, Roger, lead the way.”
Alien Art
Thinking...
Are we alone in space? It’s really very tough to answer. The probability is very high that aliens might exist if we consider billions of galaxies, stars, planets, and suitable places within the planets. And also consider how reactive atoms are. Another question is “could they have developed a brain like us or better than us”? With this question, the probability drops for the aliens like us or better than us. Another question is that “is the universe of matter the only suitable ground for the existing of things”? We don’t know.
There is a lot of unknown when we think of endless space, anything is possible. We might not have enough brain power to get to the bottom.

Idea Stolen from Sosij (Her "Smile Practice" here).
Knew I had to do a copy of this sometime as soon as I saw Sosij's version. In my whole 365 last year I think I only had about 4 or 5 that I was smiling in. I am much happier with a deadpan expression in my photos.... probably because it takes less brainpower if I don't have to think about smiling too.

July 28 210 / 366 Snuck up on these baby ducklings and their Mom, kind of felt bad since they were all curled up together sleeping. Mom stayed very, very still while I fussed and started to realize that my new lens may actually require some brainpower on my part... Anyways, she went into the water and after just a moment of protest -- (check out the mouthy one in the middle quacking), the brood followed her, leaving me, now ready for the perfect shot... of their behinds! Oh, well... after cropping and playing with it in Iphoto and picnik (the extent of my pp skils)... this is it.
Oh, and the whole story is below.
Have a good Monday all... I hope no one rudely awakened you this morning!!

Here's my latest project, an updated Arduino-powered exposure meter, this time using a TSL2591 lux sensor, which has a MUCH higher dynamic range (0.01-120,000lx).
It's about a third of the price of the equivalent Sekonic L308s, and has five (5!!!) additional stops of low light range (goes down to -5EV, haven't had sunny enough weather to test the higher range).
Brainpower: Adafruit Pro Trinket 3V
Display: Adafruit 128x32 I2C OLED
Light sensor: TSL2591
Battery: 1s1p 500mAh lithium polymer
Light measurement range: 0.01 - 135000 lux (EV -5.0 - EV18)
Sv Range: 6 - 51200, in full stops
Tv Range: 1/8000s - 999 minutes, in full stops
Av Range: f/1.0 - f/90 in third stops

In the early 2020s, the United States Department of Defense began studies to determine where the future of American security lies. Part of this undertaking involved studying rising technologies and addressing the threats and opportunities they would purportedly generate. One of the key players therein was automation, both of information systems and actual physical platforms. To extrapolate--and if the experts are to be believed--automation would offer the ability to streamline logistics, keep C4ISR assets synchronized in real time, keep warfighters further removed from danger and tedium, and generally make the audacious undertaking of war less taxing on humans themselves. Running with this idea, the Army published the Army Evolved 2040 initiative which signaled the branch's intention to integrate cutting edge technologies of all sorts: Robotics, AI, railguns, energy weapons, etc. To say defense firms were over the moon at this announcement would be an understatement and a half.
Indeed, many firms began producing private ventures in an attempt to cultivate the sustained attention of the Army until the golden date of 2040. An example of this is the Oshkosh Corporation's Future (Autonomous) Cargo Truck [or F(A)CT], an optionally-manned cargo vehicle capable of taxiing supplies to and fro of its own accord. To achieve this, Oshkosh partnered with the growing self-driving technology company, Waymo, to integrate off-the-shelf sensors and software capable of following designated routes and/or mapping terrain when obstacles arise. Typically, when the F(A)CT is operating in autonomous mode, the cab is folded down and the sensor suite comes to life. As an added bonus, the collapsible cab allows the F(A)CT to be easily transported by aircraft or tucked away aboard ships.
Furthermore, when given a mission, an unmanned F(A)CT is often fed a pre-designed route to follow. This route can be updated at any point via datalink and the truck will naturally set down its new path. Alternatively, the F(A)CT can use a designated database to create and map its own route as the crow flies. The terrain-mapping sensors atop the cab are key to this task. Additionally, they can also supplement allied ISR operations as the F(A)CT continues about its business. When manned, the truck's cab is naturally unpacked. What's more, any unmanned vehicles remaining in the caravan can slave themselves to a designated (often manned vehicle), thereby reducing the manpower necessary to keep landborne supply chains operational. This latter bit is consistent with the aims of the Army Evolved 2040 initiative as the US Army seeks to counterbalance demographic and manpower concerns by pulling able-bodied persons from the rear and closer to the frontlines. Why waste tactical brainpower fiddling with trucks when you can let bots do the work? Additionally, as the USR expands its martial zone of exclusivity in the Pacific, allied outposts are likely to be isolated. Thus, maintaining as many hands on deck is a dire necessity. And this is exactly what Oshkosh aims to achieve with the F(A)CT.
Cropped version. By the way, I was surprised to read that, according to a spokesperson of the British National Sheep Association, sheep are "quite intelligent creatures and have more brainpower than people are willing to give them credit for."
A study published in National Geographic showed a sheep can remember the faces of fifty other sheep for over two years. OK, this is not information you always wanted to know, but I thought it was kind of funny, together with the title.
There is a somewhat persistent myth that humans only use 10% of their brain power. Whilst this has proven to be untrue there still remains more questions than answers when it comes to exactly how our brains work. This is where Project Psychonaut came in.
The year was 1989 and the aim of the whole project was simple enough; to unleash the true potential of the human mind. From there it got a little complicated but Bob and Gary had been trained by the very best to be prepared for any eventuality. They’d even done some actual astronaut training with NASA.
On mission day they both consumed a herculean amount of a specially concocted mix of psychoactive chemicals. After 22 hours Bob regained consciousness and announced “We are the Godhead. All your base are belong to us” before being sedated and taken to Recovery. The information that was eventually gleaned from Bob would go on to form a whole new area of scientific study. That was over 30 years ago. Gary however still remains unconscious. It is speculated that his psychonaut avatar is still roaming the vast cosmos of his own mind looking for the key to unlocking humankind’s latent psionic abilities.
Well, that’s my story and I’m sticking to it. I’ve got to have some reason to do the things I do. Maybe our brave psychonaut will work as an NFT...
Cheers

...And speaking of decking insanity. These! Yeah, the corner looked a bit empty, it'll be where the door to the computer core isn't; so, I thought I'd spice it up with a pair of breaker panels. Spent waaaaay too much brainpower on this. Kinda fun though.

So you’re a simple brain slug - your mind has existed for thousands of years and is an almost infinite vault of knowledge. Unfortunately, your body is soft, mushy, and weak and just to make matters more complicated your civilization's technology has become reliant on crystals trapped in hard ground. Que the invention of the “Powered Drilling Suit”. Now you can stay all soft and mushy in a cozy, climate controlled cockpit pod and think about much more important matters while using .00000009% of your brainpower to implement the simplistic and intuitive functions of the suit.

Nature's complimentary reward. Silence is unheeding since birds sing as soon as the sun rises and it's that precious gift given between brainpower and happiness.
Eight years. Eight long, hot, dusty years I've wandered through this wasteland, searching for other non-hostile survivors. Everybody I meet I'm forced to kill. People say there is no mercy in the apocalypse, but I try to exercise mercy whenever possible.
The apocalyptic landscape is not devoid of color. The ancient barns that dot the rural farmland (or what was rural before the disaster) are reddish brown and the green floating islands are a welcome sight. The islands have an interesting story. They were all held up by an immense force (what it was and how it worked was above the brainpower of most of the population) that was housed somewhere in England. When this force was destroyed purely by accident in the disaster, all the floating islands came crashing to Earth. They are still green because they still have a huge reservoir of water inside them, keeping the grass green. I like to lie on the grass after a long day. It reminds me of my home, almost a decade ago. I close my eyes and imagine I am back in my front yard... long ago.....
------------------------------------------------
My entry to the Vapourlypse Contest. In case anyone's wondering how the island came to be inside the barn (which has only 1 wall because I ran out of bricks, and thus you see the FP mountains and blue sky), it fell down and rolled into the barn. I couldn't figure out how to put that into the story. >.>
Anyway, C and C?
IMO, one of my better scenes.
Inspired by Bricko and TheBricks.
