Doll's Eyes (Actaea pachypoda)
This is one of many wonderful wildflowers that can be found in eastern deciduous woodlands during the spring. Doll's Eyes has attractive foliage and striking white berries, which become mature during the late summer or early fall. These berries resemble the eyes of old-fashioned china dolls, hence the common name. Another common name of this species is White Baneberry, which refers to the appearance of the berries and their toxic nature to humans.

#artificialintelligence   Originally shared by Gideon Rosenblatt Knowledge and Artificial Intelligence I just hit the publish button on this one, and I think it may be one of my better articles in a while. It's an attempt at a bigger perspective on what's happening with things like Deep Learning (and other forms of machine learning and artificial intelligence), as well as Google's Knowledge Graph and even its "Knowledge Vault ." In this piece, I try to explain how these new technologies fit together. I also try to show how  these latest breakthroughs are still part of a long arch in human history, a continuation of our efforts to pull tacit knowledge from the biology of our minds and bodies and embed it as explicit knowledge into a new container.  I hope you enjoy this one. I enjoyed writing it.  #knowledge   #knowledgegraph   #artificialintelligence   #knowledgevault   People I believe might be interested in this one because of past comments or posts: D...

Exactly!

Exactly! Since I got my Note 10.1 end of last year I don't use notebooks, diaries, agendas nor do I print .pdfs anymore =) It feels so clean and organized not having loads of paper on your desk and always being able to access all of your notes and files everywhere.. ;) Give it a try! I'm also not buying printed books anymore, we already carry lots of things with us in our homes, imagine the space and trees you would save if all of your books were digital.. I can see a much more spacious house!

Originally shared by Joe Carter The hologenome theory of evolution recasts the idea of organism from all the genetically identical cells, to all the cells in thier entirety that assemble as a singular unit as a community or a "holobiont". In other words; the host plus all of its symbiotic microbes, many of which perform vital functions. I would say that the idea of a hologenone is a step in the right direction to get a clearer picture of the relationship engine that adaptively responds to the environment to remain coherent over time. As far as I can tell, an even better lens is to place the outer membrane of a coherent biological system around all the things in the entire ecosystem that contribute to the adaptive capacity of system to continue over time. For instance; oxygen and carbohydrate producing autotrophs need O2 breathing heterotrophs to produce CO2 and nitrates etc. This relationship entanglement between what are now considered separate organisms operates on the sam...
