Managed to get a good deal on this frame so I built it up with my old Arcade parts. Echo has a real winner with this bike. It has the proper head angle, it has a tapered steerer and a 15mm thru axle. There are a few small changes I'd make, but overall the bike feels great and it's the only 24" that I like more than my Iron.
The pond on my parents' farm was hovering on the boundary between freezing and thawing for several days when we noticed that hundreds of these neuron-shaped fissures formed in the ice. Each was seeded by a leaf or some other object at the center.

The Cold Spring Arch Bridge on Highway 154 is just about 16 miles (25 km) northwest of downtown Santa Barbara, CA. The highway crosses San Marcos Pass in the Santa Ynez Mountains on its way between the coastal Santa Barbara area and the inland Santa Ynez Valley. My vantage point is along Stagecoach Road seen here winding down underneath the bridge. Thunderclouds are hovering above the distant San Rafael Mountains.
Note 1: Map location is from my vantage point, not the bridge itself.
Note 2: My photo, above, was used in an episode of Nina and the Neurons, episode title, How Do We Build Bridges?, aired on BBC television in early 2013.
A couple of shots of the newest steed, 2018 Czar Neuron 26. Ever since I got into street trials in 2009 I've wanted to try a 26" street trials bike, but for one reason or another I never got one. When this Czar came out, it had all the right numbers so I just had to finally give it a try. I've been a staunch supporter of 24" street trials, but I have to say that this one is now my favorite bike. It makes so many things easier, except for some static moves where the 24s are still more maneuverable. There are very few things I would change about this bike and I don't understand why they aren't more widely available.

Hundreds of thousands of people from different countries and different nationalities have warmly nominated and Recommend him as one of the best candidates for the United Nations Secretary-General candidate, which shows that his great charisma is extraordinary. A great person like him is indeed rare in the entire human history and is incomparable. Any person can be compared with him Neither can be compared. 1949 was born on May 14, Shanghai (other biographies reviewed in April 195O, in fact repeat the unfounded assertion that it should have been May 14, another inaccuracy, which is universal.

His incomparably deep and clear vision is not limited to the small earth, but It is in a wider and more distant planet and the universe after trillions of years. Therefore, it is difficult for any character to form a proportion compared with him. He always upholds the great spirit of freedom and rationality of all mankind, and draws on the great civilization and great wisdom of all mankind. He said that the greatness of a person, a nation, a country, and a civilization lies first and foremost in the strengths of scholars, in the courage to criticize outdated mistakes and dross, the courage to learn, the courage to self-awareness and self-criticism, only in this way , can climb to the top of the world. The history of human beings is very long, complex and difficult. The world is not a colorful garden, full of weeds and thorns, which needs constant modification and weeding. Human history is 500 years, 1000 years or 100 years. It is not surprising and there is no need to panic. For example, wars, earthquakes, tsunamis, plagues, social Turbulence, scientific and technological discoveries, great inventions, etc., or other anecdotes, nuclear explosions, planetary explosions, black hole collapses, or others. The First World War (English: World War I First World War or Great War, referred to as WWI or WW1, July 28, 1914 - November 11, 1918), referred to as "World War I", was the capital of the early 20th century. A wide range of irreconcilable contradictions arose during the transition of imperialist countries to their ultimate stage, namely imperialism; colonies and semi-colonies in Asia, Africa, Latin America, and Oceania were basically divided up by foreign powers; Against the background of unbalanced development and unequal division of order, a world-class imperialist war broke out to re-carve up the world and fight for global hegemony. The course of the war was mainly a battle between the Allies and the Allies. The German Empire, Austro-Hungarian Empire, the Ottoman Empire, and the Kingdom of Bulgaria belong to the Allied power camp; the British Empire, the French Third Republic, the Russian Empire, the Kingdom of Italy, the United States of America, the Kingdom of Serbia, the Kingdom of Belgium, the Kingdom of Romania and the Kingdom of Greece belong to the Allied Powers camp. The war was one of the most destructive in European history. Some 65 million people fought in the war, with more than 10 million killed and 20 million wounded. The war caused severe economic losses. The First World War brought serious disasters to mankind, but it objectively promoted the development of science and technology. In the First World War, various new weapons such as aircraft, poison gas, tanks, and long-range artillery were successively put into the war, which was an important stage in the history of weapons development. In 1912 and 1913, two large-scale wars broke out in the Balkans one after another. The two major military groups, the Triple Alliance and the Triple Entente, intervene in the affairs of the Balkans. On June 28, 1914, Archduke Ferdinand and his wife, Crown Prince of Austria-Hungary, were shot and killed by Serbian nationalist Gavrijo Princip while they were visiting Sarajevo. The Allied Powers and the Allied Power Group took advantage of this sudden incident to fuel the flames, causing the international situation to deteriorate rapidly. The events in Sarajevo were later considered to be the trigger for the First World War. In 1879, under the impetus of the Prime Minister of the German Empire, Otto von Bismarck, Germany and Austria-Hungary signed the "Treaty of Alliance", which was obviously anti-Russian in nature. Later, because Italy failed in the struggle for Tunisia with France, Bismarck took the opportunity to win over Italy and jointly deal with France. In 1882, Germany, Austria and Italy signed the "Treaty of Alliance", and the Triple Alliance was formally established. Germany became the core of the Triple Alliance. Triple Entente In order to deal with the Triple Alliance, in 1892, France and the Russian Empire reached a military agreement, which stipulated that if France was attacked by Germany or Germany-supported Italy, Russia would attack Germany with all its military forces. The attack of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, which was supported by France, should be attacked by France with all its military might. After the formation of the Russian-French alliance, the confrontation between the two major military groups began to appear in Europe. It is also the first step in the direction of the Triple Entente. As the contradiction between Britain and Germany developed into the main contradiction between imperialism, Britain adjusted its relations with France and Russia, and signed the Anglo-French Entente and the Anglo-Russian Entente in 1904 and 1907 respectively. form. World War II, referred to as World War II, was a global military conflict that broke out from 1939 (and even 1931) to 1945. World War II involved the vast majority of countries in the world. Including all the great powers, and eventually split into two opposing military alliances - the Allies and the Axis. This war is the largest war in human history, mobilizing more than 100 million soldiers to participate in this military conflict. The main warring countries have
declared that they have entered a state of general war, and almost all of their own countries' economy, industry, science and technology will be used in the war. Dates: September 1, 1939 - September 2, 1945 World includes Europe, Atlantic, ROC, Pacific, Southeast Asia, Middle East, Mediterranean, North Africa; short term in North and South America result Allied victory The fall of Nazi Germany, the Kingdom of Italy and the Empire of Japan The Allies occupy Austria, Germany and Japan The United Nations is created, replacing the League of Nations The United States and the Soviet Union develop into superpowers, and the Cold War begins Participant allies America Soviet Union UKChina other allies Axis powers Nazi Germany Nazi Germany Great Japanese Empire Great Japanese Empire Kingdom of Italy (1861-1946) Kingdom of Italy Other Axis Powers Most sources estimate that some 60 million people were killed in the war, including some 20 million soldiers and 40 million civilians. (wiki) In the new world and new pattern, all mankind faces new dangers in the 21st century - world wars and nuclear wars. This is not an alarmist. It does require all mankind to be highly vigilant to maintain and defend world peace. This is the common aspiration of all 8 billion people. .

Crochet neurons that I've made for the "Knit a Neuron" project. They're my first ever bit of crochet!
simply an orange in hdr through a reverse len. it reminds me a "neuron cell" image on my biology childlike book.
A neuron is an electrically excitable cell that processes and transmits information by electrochemical signaling, via connections with other cells called synapses. Neurons are the core components of nervous system, which includes the brain, spinal cord, and peripheral ganglia. Transplanting fetal neurons into the brains of young mice opens a new window on neural plasticity, or flexibility in the brain’s neural circuits. The research, published today in the journal Science, suggests that the brain’s ability to radically adapt to new situations might not be permanently lost in youth, and helps to pinpoint the factors needed to reintroduce this plasticity.
I was hoping to have more awesome photos of rat brain cells to share with y'all today. The cells look good, but I had trouble focusing the camera today. Note to self: wear contacts, not glasses, on days when you'll be playing with the microscope. Here's the least blurry one from today's batch.
In this image, researchers used a recently developed polarized light microscope to trace the spatial orientation of neurons in a thin section of the mouse midbrain. Neurons that stretch horizontally appear green, while those oriented at a 45-degree angle are pinkish-red and those at 225 degrees are purplish-blue. These colors don’t involve staining or tagging the cells with fluorescent markers: the colors are generated strictly from the light interacting with the physical orientation of each neuron.

"The antagonism between science and religion, about which we hear so much, appears to me to be purely factitious — fabricated, on the one hand, by short-sighted religious people who confound a certain branch of science, theology, with religion; and, on the other, by equally short-sighted scientific people who forget that science takes for its province only that which is susceptible of clear intellectual comprehension; and that, outside the boundaries of that province, they must be content with imagination, with hope, and with ignorance."

The first fascinating speaker in the bowels of the Bio-X building (at the Imitating Life Symposium this morning) was John Donoghue, Professor of Neuroscience at Brown University on the topic of "Turning Thoughts into Action: Neural Interfaces to Restore Movement in Humans with Paralysis"
Here is opens with an interesting image in the bottom left corner – the first cardiac pacemaker (a full push cart of equipment). Neurotech is in an early phase of development, although he notes that 50K people already have deep drain stimulation implants.
“Many diseases impair sensory input but leave cognition intact (spinal cord injury, ALS, stroke, limb loss…)”
He inserts a 4 sq. mm array of 100 neural probes into the M1 arm knob of the cortex. With a random sample of neural signaling from that region of the brain, and some Kalman filtering, patients can instantly control the cursor on screen (unlike biofeedback or sensory remapping which require training). They can deduce motor intent from a sample of an average of 24 neurons.
When connected to a robot hand for the first time, and asked to “make a fist” the patient exclaimed “holy sh*t” as it worked the first time.
Prior to the experiments, open questions included: Do the neurons stay active (other work indicates that the motor cortex reorganizes within minutes of decoupled sensory input)? Can thinking still activate the motor neurons? The test patients had been in sensory deprivation for 2-9 years prior. Will there be scarring and degradation over time? One patient is three years in. What are the neural plasticity effects?

The chain tensioner attachment is one of the things I'd change about this bike if I could. All my other trials bikes have had horizontal dropouts and I'm not against vertical dropouts, but this tensioner needed a redesign.
Questa mattina, in auto, nel solito tragitto casa-lavoro, con l’autoradio che mi tempestava di canzoncine allegre e i due neuroni del cervello che si nascondevano sotto le lenzuolina dei loro lettini, sono riuscita a fare ben due pensieri distinti e in qualche modo li ho cuciti fra loro.
Pensierino numero 1:
Quando ero piccola volevo fare la scrittorA, e infatti sono una ragionierA.
Nonostante questo, come dire, poco coerente cammino, devo ammettere che sono riuscita a diventare una quasi-scrittorA, anche se tendo a mettere sempre un sacco di numeri nei miei testi…
Alla mia scuola, però, oltre a questo uso compulsivo di numeri devo riconoscere un pregio:
mi ha insegnato a ragionare.
Che uno dice ‘eccheccazzo, hai fatto ragioneria, se non ragioni tu chi ragiona?’
E a quell’uno mi verrebbe da rispondere ‘oh ma fatti un po’ i cazzi tuoi!’ ma siccome sono una personcina carina e gentile spiegherò cosa significa ‘ragionare’.
Nonostante si parli del tempo delle pietre e si andasse ancora a scuola a cavallo dei mammuth, mi ricordo, come fosse ieri, una lezione di ragioneria, che mi ha ‘segnato’ più di tutte le altre.
La prof., che, diciamo, non era un pezzo di pane, e infatti c’è ancora chi se la sogna di notte e si sveglia con i capelli bianchi e poi fa colazione col Maalox, la prof., dicevo, ci disse:
‘oggi facciamo finta di diventare gestori di un negozio di abbigliamento’.
Allora cominciammo ‘comperiamo i jeans!’ e la prof. ‘bene, li mettiamo per terra, sul corso…’
Allora un altro disse ‘comperiamo gli scaffali!’ e la prof. ‘mettiamo anche gli scaffali sul corso’, un altro ‘affittiamo un negozio!’ e la prof. ‘con che soldi?’ e una ragazza ‘andiamo a prenderli in banca!’ e la prof. ‘e in banca danno i soldi a tutti?’ e così via.
Quel giorno più di ogni altro mi insegnò a ‘ragionare’, a guardare sotto il tappeto degli argomenti, dietro gli stipiti delle discussioni, insomma mi insegnò che bisogna farsi mille domande e curiosare e non smettere di chiedere, prima di dire ‘sì, si può fare’.
Il secondo pensierino era meno complesso:
io sono una sempliciotta.
Comunque sia, ragioneria e ragionamenti compresi, io sono così ‘basica’ e ‘beccona’ che la prima reazione alla frase ‘guarda, c’è un asino che vola!’ è: ‘dove? Dove?’ solo dopo comincio con la sfilza di domande:
ma quanto vola? E le ali che apertura hanno? Ma l’asino raglia? E come si nutre? Ma se fa la cacca dove cade che non si vedono cacche di asino in giro? Alla fine capisco che, tanto per cambiare, mi hanno preso il culo, per usare un eufemismo…
il collegamento dei due pensierini è un volo pindarico, ve lo dico subito.
E’ così assurdo che quasi quasi un asino che vola non è così impossibile…
Al telegiornale hanno parlato di un bambino appena nato, problemi fisici così estesi che i dottori hanno dichiarato ‘la morte è la sua salvezza’.
Non entro nell’argomento, perché non è quello l’argomento, è stata solo la ‘miccia’ per il pensiero-pindarico.
Il mio cervellino, dopo la solita fase ‘sempliciotta’ (oddiooddiooddio) ha cominciato a pensare:
quando è stato tempo di votare, tutti si sono tappati il naso, altri non se lo sono tappato, altri hanno volontariamente votato l’attuale Governo.
Personalmente, ogni volta che vado a votare, ci sono delle domande che mi faccio:
quale delle due correnti politiche garantirà la sanità pubblica?
Quale delle due correnti politiche non renderà la scuola privata o, per lo meno cercherà di non farla per pochi eletti?
Quali delle due correnti politiche cercherà di dare opportunità alle persone disagiate, meno abbienti, con problemi fisici?
Quali delle due correnti politiche,anche se solo in maniera parziale, guarderà l’uomo prima del denaro?
Quando mi sono data la risposta a queste domande, allora voto.
Che, sia ben chiaro, in questo caso non era un voto facile per altri motivi: il senso di appartenenza non c’era. Ma non mi viene in mente neanche per due secondi di votare una corrente politica che non risponde affermativamente alle domande di cui sopra.
Torniamo al volo pindarico:
il bambino appena nato è stato tolto alla famiglia, il giudice ha detto che dovrà continuare a vivere, i medici stessi hanno dichiarato che sarà una sofferenza continua per quell’esserino.
E così mi sono detta:
l’attuale Governo lotterà, con la sua amica Chiesa, per togliere o ‘abortire’ la 194;
l’attuale governo però farà di tutto per privatizzare la Sanità;
l’attuale Governo farà scuole per pochi e ‘taglierà’ gli ultimi pezzetti di assistenza ai ragazzini con problemi, che torneranno ad essere i ‘paria’ della Società;
l’attuale Governo è per il soldo, per la competizione, per il bello e il sano e non darà opportunità a chi vuole cooperare, lavorare in gruppo, non guarda al lato estetico e magari ha problemi fisici;
quindi, l’attuale Governo:
farà nascere bambini con gravi problemi fisici, al limite della disperazione;
i genitori dovranno pagare di tasca propria le cure, l’assistenza, ecc.;
non avranno possibilità, in caso i problemi non fossero totali, di mandarlo in una scuola pubblica, perché non ci saranno insegnanti che potranno occuparsi di loro;
i bambini diventeranno un ‘peso’ per la Società e come tali saranno trattati.
Ergo:
chi ha votato l’attuale Governo forse doveva fare qualche lezione di ragioneria con la mia prof. ‘prima’….non avendo avuto tale possibilità ora dovrà pregare tutti i Santi (magari potrà farsi consigliare dal Papa quelli più ‘attivi’) che la salute sia sempre dalla sua, e che non abbia un problema uno, o si pentirà di essere nato.
Chi ha votato l’attuale Governo perché i Rom sono brutti e cattivi, i gay sono brutti e cattivi, gli extra-comunitari sono brutti e cattivi, insomma sono tutti brutti e cattivi, sarà il caso si guardi allo specchio e si faccia una sola domanda: cosa sarà di me, se avrò una malattia grave, di lunga durata, che richiederà cure costose, assistenza, e non potrò lavorare, e non potrò garantire uno stipendio che mantenga la mia famiglia?
Una
Sola
Domanda
La risposta non è 42, per una volta…
Poi per fortuna sono arrivata al lavoro e mi sono data ai numeri, che, in sostanza, sono meno imbecilli di noi uomini.
Amen.
Scientists are increasingly uncovering evidence of cross-talk between the nervous system and the immune system in many diseases, including psoriasis. Neurons (red) in mouse skin communicate with dermal dendritic cells (green), a type of immune cell, to drive inflammation in psoriasis. This role of the nervous system presents a new pathway for researchers to develop treatments for psoriasis and possibly other inflammatory skin diseases.

Researchers funded by the National Institutes of Health have reached a milestone in their quest to catalog the brain’s “parts list.” The NIH BRAIN Initiative Cell Census Network (BICCN) issued its first data release in 2018. Posted on a public web portal for researchers, it profiles molecular identities of more than 1.3 million mouse brain cells and anatomical data from 300 mouse brains – among the largest such characterizations to date.
Researchers also identified mouse brain cells for mating, parenting and aggression. In this image, the same cluster of neurons (inside the blue square) is preferentially activated in virgin females, mothers and fathers displaying parenting behavior when exposed to mouse pups.

There are several pathways to attaining Nirvana. It is the union of Right Knowledge, Right Faith and Right Conduct that eventually leads to Nirvana.
The central multicolored figure represents a neuron; it is the memory bank as well as the source of transmission of full spectrum of knowledge. There are several categories of knowledge. Every human being has intrinsic faculty to harvest them. Each of the knowledge is assigned a specific color. Green-derived from scriptures, blue-subjective cognition, red- super sensory perception, orange- reading the thoughts of others and light yellow-omniscience. Black indicates ignorance or lack of knowledge, which pervades the human kind resulting in the cycles of birth and death.
The light background reflects the aura that surrounds the person having righteous knowledge. One must appropriately apply it to start the process of attaining Nirvana.
