Book Review: Bionic by Suzanne Weyn
By Olympus Athens | @ | Tuesday, October 25th, 2016 at 7:00 pm
Hardcover | Kindle Edition
Written by Suzanne Weyn
Publisher: Scholastic Press
Mira has a great boyfriend, is in a band, and may be in line for a lacrosse scholarship after high school. A car accident seems to destroy all those dreams when she is in critical condition, and loses her arm and leg. Innovative technology grants her bionic limbs, and a chip to integrate her brain function with her movement. The chip also enhances her from the inside out, causing her hair to be long and her skin to look fantastic. She gets offered a modeling contract, and can suddenly play guitar like an ace. What comes up must come down, and soon all the positives begin to be negatives in Bionic by Suzanne Weyn.
More below.
Weyn really captures the angst and worry of teen life, with the futuristic (without being too sci-fi) aspects of robotics. One of the themes of this really relatable YA novel, is to be the best version of yourself on the inside. Your real friends and family will stick with the real you. Another theme is a common one in teen drama – the feeling as if you don't know who you really are.
It is a very quick read, and feels even faster because of the high interest. My only complaint is that I wanted the book to be longer, as there were relationships I wanted explored more, and some loose ends I think need tied up. I would have definitely liked to continue reading about how Mira copes through college, how her bionics further develop the relationship with her family, especially her brother, and her boyfriend (cannot reveal that spoiler). Could a sequel be in the cards?
Any age and any gender (despite the female protagonist) would enjoy this story. Although the bionic parts are sci-fi (and not even that far off), the rehab from the accident is portrayed as gritty and difficult and painful and real. All in all, I highly recommend this novel for the early teen set to adults.
Mira has always almost had it all… until it all crashes and burns. She's hurt in a horrible car accident, and the only way the doctors can help is to try experimental prosthetics and chips that are implanted directly into her brain. It's a huge risk, but after months of testing and therapy, Mira is back, and better than ever.
But soon her friends turn against her as their parents call her on unfair advantages and get her cut from lacrosse and the scholarships she was depending on for college. And with her enhanced hearing, she knows how many people in her school and her town are calling her a robot, a cyborg.
Is that true? Is Mira human, or is she somehow something other? How can she overcome the ways people see her and just be herself… especially if she's not really sure who that is anymore?
Suzanne Weyn is always at the cutting edge when it comes to new tech and the questions it raises about the world we live in.

Surrey History Centre
Surrey History Centre policies and plans
Archives and local studies collecting policy
1. Introduction and background
Surrey History Centre cares for and makes publicly accessible the historic archive and local studies collections relating to the County of Surrey. The Centre was established in 1998 by Surrey County Council to hold and develop the collections formerly housed in Surrey Record Office, Kingston, Guildford Muniment Room and Surrey Local Studies Library. In 2006 it became part of Surrey Heritage.
The Centre is recognised as a place of deposit for public records relating to the County of Surrey and is appointed the diocesan record office for the diocese of Guildford and much of the diocese of Southwark. Millions of documents dating from the 12th to the 21st centuries are stored in our strongrooms. They are appraised, sorted, catalogued and indexed to facilitate access, given conservation treatment where necessary and stored in the optimum environment for their long term preservation.
The archival holdings are unique and irreplaceable, generally being the original and only record in existence and their value lies in their being retained in their original form as far as possible. They are primary source material and maintaining their integrity is vital to their legal evidential and historical value.
2. Purpose and scope of this policy
2.1. This policy will inform stakeholders and users of the statutory and legal basis for the service and the principles guiding the acquisition and disposal of material. It also aims to establish a planned approach to the development of the holdings at Surrey History Centre.
2.2. The policy aims to ensure that Surrey History Centre's archive and local studies holdings represent all aspects of the county's social, political, economic, religious and cultural life. In doing so, it will assist us in being more proactive in identifying, preserving and celebrating Surrey's dynamic and multi-faceted cultural heritage which in turn will promote community identity, cohesion and well-being.
2.3. In line with Surrey County Council's aims, it will also serve to engage residents in the activities of the service and improve the resident experience; provide public value by preserving the county's heritage for the well-being, learning and enjoyment of all; develop and strengthen partnerships across the county; enhance the quality and breadth of the county's documentary heritage and, consequently, the service we are able to offer to the public; and have a key role to play in demonstrating the Council's commitment to responsible stewardship.
2.4. This policy is one of several existing policies relating to different elements of the care and management of the collections in the keeping of Surrey History Centre. The aim of the policies collectively is to ensure that the collections are properly managed and preserved, and are made available in the most appropriate manner to ensure their long-term survival and usability.
This policy should be read in conjunction with the Collections Management Overview which sets out the Centre's integrated approach to the management of its collections and the framework of standards and code of ethics within which it operates.
2.5. It should also be read alongside the Collections Development plan which sets out our objectives in building up the range and scope of our collections.
3. Legal framework
3.1. Surrey County Council, under s.224 of the Local Government Act, 1972, is obliged to make proper arrangements for the records created by the authority. Surrey History Centre, which holds and makes accessible the historic records of the Council, has a crucial part to play in fulfilling this obligation.
3.2. Under the Local Government (Records) Act, 1962, and the Local Government Act, 1972, Surrey County Council is empowered as a 'principal archive authority' to acquire other records created by other bodies by purchase, gift and deposit, to prepare finding aids, hold exhibitions and 'do all such things as appear to it necessary or expedient for enabling adequate use to be made of records under its control'.
3.3. Surrey History Centre is appointed a place of deposit, under section 4(1) of the Public Records Act, 1958, for certain defined categories of public records on behalf of the Lord Chancellor. Such records include those of courts, public hospitals and health authorities and of the county coroner.
3.4. Surrey History Centre, under The Manorial Documents Rules of 1959 and the Tithe (Copies of Apportionment) Rules of 1960, is approved by the Master of the Rolls as a place of deposit for the custody of manorial and tithe documents.
3.5. Surrey History Centre has been appointed Diocesan Record Office by the Bishop of Guildford to hold on deposit non-current historic records of parishes within the diocese under the Parochial Registers and Records Measure, 1978 (amended 1992). It also acts in the same capacity for the Diocese of Southwark except for parishes in the following districts: the Archdeaconry of Lewisham; the Archdeaconry of Southwark; the Deaneries of Brixton, Clapham, Lambeth and Streatham within the Archdeaconry of Lambeth; the Deaneries of Battersea, Tooting and Wandsworth within the Archdeaconry of Wandsworth; the Deanery of Sutton within the Archdeaconry of Croydon.
3.6. Under the same measure, it is responsible for the inspection of records in parochial custody within the Diocese of Guildford and the above-specified area of the Diocese of Southwark.
4. Collection range and geographical scope
4.1. Under the powers outlined above Surrey History Centre seeks to collect records reflecting all aspects of the life of the inhabitants of the county and representative of the institutions and organisations active within the county for all periods across the documented history of Surrey. This includes, but is not limited to:
Records of Surrey County Council and of the District, Borough and Parish Councils within the county, including electoral registration records.
Records of state-maintained and private schools.
Records of local churches and of other religious organisations active within the county.
Records of businesses, utilities and industries situated within Surrey.
Records of hospitals, health authorities, charities and welfare organisations.
Records of clubs and societies and special interest groups within the county, including sporting bodies, arts organisations, political parties and pressure groups
Title deeds and other records relating to land ownership, land use and to the management of landed estates, including manorial records.
Private records reflective of the life, achievements and concerns of inhabitants of the county, such as diaries, correspondence, photographs and oral history recordings.
Records of judicial courts and of other bodies concerned with the maintenance of law and order.
Records of the regiments based in the county and of individuals of all ranks serving with those regiments.
Records reflective of Surrey's involvement in national events and occurrences.
Maps and pictorial material, including prints and photographs.
4.2. In general, Surrey History Centre seeks to collect within and relating to the current administrative county as established in 1965 and 1974. However some records are held which relate to institutions which operated across the entirety of the ancient county, for example the Court of Quarter Sessions, the former county government, and across the entirety of the county as it was between 1889 and the extension of Greater London in 1965, for example Surrey County Council itself.
4.3. Records entirely relating to those parts of the county which were absorbed into London or into the County Borough of Croydon in 1889 are not collected, being the responsibility of the appropriate Borough Archive Services or the London Metropolitan Archives. However records of Anglican parishes within Croydon are collected in accordance with the History Centre's role as Southwark Diocesan Record Office.
4.4. The London Boroughs of Kingston and Sutton, having established recognised archive services, act as archive authorities for the areas of those Boroughs. However records of Anglican parishes within Kingston Borough are the responsibility of Surrey History Centre as Southwark Diocesan Record Office.
4.5. The London Boroughs of Richmond and Merton have not established archive services and, until such time as such services are established, Surrey History Centre continues to accept records from these areas if they complement existing holdings and/or no other appropriate home can be found.
4.6. Records relating to the area of the Borough of Spelthorne are the responsibility of both Surrey History Centre and London Metropolitan Archives, which was the responsible archive authority until the transfer of the area to Surrey in 1965 and also acts as London Diocesan Record Office (and is thus responsible for records of Anglican parishes within the Borough). Responsibility for any individual group of records will be determined through negotiation and dialogue between the interested parties.
4.7. Records whose geographical coverage is not confined to Surrey (for example records of families holding dispersed estates or whose members were active elsewhere in the UK or abroad) will be accepted in their entirety if it is felt that the integrity of the collection would be damaged by dividing it.
5. Collections development
5.1. Surrey History Centre aims to ensure that its collections represent as fully as possible the past activities of all communities within its collecting area. To achieve this we will seek to address existing weaknesses and build up strengths within the range and scope of our collections.
5.2. For organisations, sectors of society or areas of the county currently under-represented in our collections, such as the business and industrial sector; political parties, trades unions and pressure groups; and Surrey-based charities, we will endeavour to initiate a programme of surveys to identify records to address this situation.
5.3. In particular we will endeavour to ensure that the experiences of ethnic, religious and cultural minority groups and of communities such as the LGBTQI+ community and disabled residents of the county, are reflected and preserved in our holdings.
5.4. Our immediate priorities and longer term objectives for collections development will be addressed in our Collections Development Plan which will be regularly reviewed. The plan will draw on our knowledge of our holdings, our collections information systems and information from the public and stakeholders to identify key collecting targets and a methodology for achieving these targets.
5.5. We will work with community archives and other custodians of archives to support their stewardship of the collections within their care and the adoption of sound archival principles in the management of those collections to ensure their accessibility and long term preservation.
6. Criteria for selection
6.1. This section should be read in conjunction with Surrey History Centre's Appraisal Policy.
6.2. Records in all formats and media will be considered for selection, including paper, parchment, photographic, film, audio and digital media.
6.3. Digital records may not be retained in electronic format if a hard copy is adequate to preserve the information and there is no significant loss of functionality. In addition, digital data lacking the necessary hardware or software for their use and interpretation will generally not be accepted.
6.4. Artefacts will generally not be accepted.
6.5. Moving image material will be accepted and accessioned if forming part of a larger archive but will be transferred to the Screen Archive South East for storage and preservation, in which case an access copy may be held at Surrey History Centre. Moving image material which does not form part of a large archive will be referred directly to the Screen Archive South East to be accessioned by that institution.
6.6. Records will be selected which reflect the historical development and primary activities of an organisation. Large series of records recording similar information over a long period may be sampled.
6.7. Records will generally not be selected if they fall into one or more of the following categories:
Material deemed to be of insufficient historical significance.
Material which is already well represented in the existing collection
Material in need of extensive conservation, unless of high historical importance.
Material of a highly specialist or technical nature.
Copies of material held by another record office (although see 8.2 below) or duplicates of material already held within Surrey History Centre.
Records recording information which is adequately recorded or summarised in another form (such as day-to-day accounting records where audited annual accounts have been prepared).
Records still in use by the creating body.
6.8. Unwanted material will be returned to the depositor, transferred to another archive service or destroyed, with the depositor's permission. Confidential destruction by an approved contractor will be used where necessary.
7. Process of acquisition
7.1. Records generated by Surrey County Council departments which are of established or potential historical significance are identified as such on the departmental retention schedules published on the corporate intranet. Such records will be automatically transferred to Surrey History Centre for permanent retention or will be reviewed by professional archive staff to determine whether they should be retained. Further guidance for Council staff is published on the intranet (Records Management and the Surrey History Centre).
7.2. Records from external depositors will be accepted as loans or as gifts or bequests. Gifts, in which ownership is vested in Surrey County Council, are the preferred option. Loans should be for a minimum period of twenty years. In exceptional circumstances records will be purchased.
7.3. Depositors or donors will be requested to acknowledge in writing their acceptance of our formal terms of deposit which outline the undertakings and obligations of both parties with regard to (if applicable) duration of loan, access, copying, conservation, cataloguing, display and withdrawal.
7.4. Records will generally not be accepted on deposit if the owner is unwilling to allow public access immediately or, for potentially sensitive information, after a defined period of years.
7.5. Records in private ownership may be accepted temporarily for copying if the owner does not wish to relinquish custody if it is considered that the historical significance justifies the expense of copying.
8. Local studies material
8.1. Surrey History Centre has built up over many years and continues to develop a comprehensive collection of published and printed works, illustrative material (including drawings, watercolour and oil paintings, prints, photographs), maps and unpublished research which relates to the history, natural history and topography of the county and its constituent places and institutions and the lives of significant inhabitants; or which complements and aids the interpretation of records held in the Centre.
8.2. Such local studies material, both new and second hand stock, is generally acquired through purchase or donation.
8.3. Microfilm copies of some local newspapers are also acquired; original newspapers are not collected because of the impermanent nature of newsprint.
8.4. A small loan stock of publications relating to the use and interpretation of historic sources and providing guidance on research is also available at Surrey History Centre and will be regularly renewed and updated.
8.5. As resources permit and in collaboration with Surrey Libraries the Centre will also subscribe to complementary archival and local history material published online.
9. Copy Material
9.2. Surrey History Centre may also commission or accept copies of records held in other record offices if it is deemed that the advantages of local access are considerable or if such records complement records already held.
10. Date of Publication and Review
10.1. This policy was first published in July 2007 and revised in March 2017.
10.2. Date of this revision: July 2020.
10.3. Date of next review: 2023.
Reviewed: 04 Jan 2023

I never imagined that solving a problem as big as we were tackling would be so challenging and at the same time so rewarding. Every time we faced a wall, we broke it down. Every time we failed, we were inspired to learn why and to do better. From the day we founded the company, we were on a mission to create the world's simplest and most trusted solution for home improvement. We wanted it to be as easy to order flooring and patio furniture online as it is to listen to music or order books. There have many highs and lows along the journey. For quite some time, we had a company that was doubling in revenue every year. Then three years ago we blew it up … on purpose. To build something greater. Something that would provide unbiased and actionable information to both Buyers and Sellers so that both could get what they want without us being in the way, and something that would be capable of reinventing an entire industry.
We launched the BuildDirect Marketplace in February 2016 dedicated to directly connecting Homeowners and Pro Buyers with Sellers from all over the world. Then, earlier this year, we opened up our logistics network, The Gateway Supply Chain, so that Buyers could get their heavyweight home improvement products delivered to their doorstep. And lastly, we developed a proprietary AI-engine to power the entire platform. We are gearing up for a big year which is why I'm thrilled to announce that Amazon veteran, Dan Park, has joined BuildDirect as Chief Operating Officer (COO) to help accelerate and scale the platform.
Dan brings nearly three decades of experience working in top-tier multi-billion dollar retail and technology companies, of which the most recent was leading Amazon Business.
In 2011, Dan joined Amazon and over his tenure, he held positions as Head of Amazon Business in Product Management and Strategy as well as General Manager/Category Leader of Consumer Electronics. Most recently he was General Manager and Commercial Vertical Leader of Amazon Business, a channel that he built from scratch to one of their fastest growing and most successful businesses. He has also held previous management positions at McKinsey and Company, Target, and Payless Shoesource.
Dan grew up in Northern Virginia, trained as a Mechanical Engineer at West Point United States Military Academy and later earned an MBA from the Harvard University Graduate School of Business Administration.
We're privileged to gain a leader with Dan's experience, talent, and vision. Please join us in welcoming Dan on our journey to complete our transition to an AI-driven platform and build the future of BuildDirect.

'Rebound' Replaces 'Recession' In MSM Headlines
By Randall Hoven
Well surprise, surprise. Get a load of this
"The Commerce Department reported Thursday that gross domestic product, or GDP, increased at a 3.3 percent annual rate in the April-June quarter. The revised reading was much better than the government's initial estimate of a 1.9 percent pace and exceeded economists' expectations for a 2.7 percent growth rate."
By contrast, here are some samples of how the previous estimate of 1.9% was reported.
"Recession worries linger as GDP rises a scant 1.9%." USA Today http://www.usatoday.com/money/economy/2008-07-31-gdp-jobless_N.htm
"Recent growth is boosted by stimulus checks, but still lags forecasts. Last quarter of '07 is revised down - first negative period since 2001 recession." CNN http://money.cnn.com/2008/07/31/news/economy/gdp/index.htm?postversion=2008073109
"U.S. GDP falls short of expectations, UPI Business News" http://www.upi.com/Business_News/2008/07/31/US_GDP_falls_short_of_expectations/UPI-93521217523916/
"The nation's economy grew at a tepid 1.9% annual rate in the second quarter of the year... below Wall Street economist expectations." Fox Business News http://www.foxbusiness.com/story/markets/economy/gdp-grew--rate-second-quarter/
"Recession... negative... recession... falls short... tepid... below expectations." You get the picture. Even from Fox. Thank you, media, for writing the script to the Democrats' campaign speeches. It's just too bad the "rebound" became clear more than two months before the election. That must irritate.
You can find the Commerce Department's press release on the latest figures here . If you dig some, you'll find that real GDP growth from the second quarter of 2007 to the second quarter of 2008 (latest available) was 2.2%. That, my friends, is no recession.
Real GDP growth in the last five quarters were 4.8, 4.8, -0.2, 0.9, and 3.3 percent, respectively. Funny, I don't remember the headlines about the two 4.8's in a row. But that -0.2 was getting "recession" played throughout the headlines for about the last six months.
The surge working in Iraq. Economy on the rebound (from its non-recession). What's a Democrat to do?
Update: "Jobless claims fall for 3rd straight week"

Finding the Means: Investment and Adaptation in Vulnerable Communities
Facing multiple challenges from rising seas to repetitive flooding, a new issue paper from the Tulane Institute on Water Resources Law & Policy and The Water Institute of the Gulf examines the "tipping point" factors that may decide when coastal communities may find they can no longer continue.
Gulf of Mexico and Mississippi River Hydrographic Survey Projects 2019
The five Gulf States support more than half of the domestic crude oil and natural gas production, contain 11 of the nation's busiest 15 shipping ports and four of the top seven commercial fishing ports when measured by tonnage.* Protecting the health of the Gulf of Mexico is more important than ever. Therefore, NOAA's Hydrographic Surveys Division has prioritized surveys of the channels and coasts of the Gulf to monitor its environment and inform the safe passage of commerce.

The Threat of Carbon Pollution: Louisiana
This overview was written by Obama Administration. It states "We have a moral obligation to leave our children a planet that's not polluted or damaged, and by taking an all-of-the-above approach to develop homegrown energy and steady, responsible steps to cut carbon pollution, we can protect our kids' health and begin to slow the effects of climate change so we leave a cleaner, more stable environment for future generations.
FACT SHEET: What Climate Change Means for Louisiana
In May 2014 the Obama Administration released the third U.S. National Climate Assessment—the most comprehensive scientific assessment ever generated of climate change and its impacts across every region of America and major sectors of the U.S. economy. The findings in this National Climate Assessment underscore the need for urgent action to combat the threats from climate change, protect American citizens and communities today, and build a sustainable future for our kids and grandkids.
Advancing Policy for Ecosystem Restoration Funding
Our nation must have a clearer framework for sustainable management of our ecosystems. And we must develop better, more dependable streams of funding for the work. After people, water is our most critical and strategic resource. Since the combined threats of aging infrastructure, climate change and population growth are so significant, the nation can no longer afford to postpone action.
Risky Business: The Economic Risks of Climate Change in the United States
The Risky Business Project is designed to apply risk assessment to the critical issue of climate change, and to take a sober, fact-based look at the potential risks facing specific sectors and regions of the national economy. As in a classic business risk assessment, we analyzed not only the most likely scenarios, but also the scenarios that, while less likely, could have more significant impacts. This report was released in 2014.
Impact of a Category 1 Hurricane on Southwest Louisiana
This PowerPoint created by NOAA shows the same Category 1 hurricane landfalling in SW Coastal Louisiana in 2010, 2015, 2015, 2050 and 2100. The coastal elevation lost to sea level and the effects of the conversion to open water show the very large growth of the flooding that SW Louisiana will see with the same hurricane event now compared to the future.
National Climate Assessment: How Climate Change is Affecting Coastal Zones
Coastal lifelines, such as water and energy infrastructure, and nationally important assets, such as ports, tourism, and fishing sites, are increasingly vulnerable to sea level rise, storm surge, erosion, flooding, and related hazards. Socioeconomic disparities create uneven vulnerabilities.

Status and Trends of Wetlands (USDA and NOAA)
This report, published in November 2013, presents the latest status information on coastal wetland resources and provides estimates of losses or gains that occurred in the coastal watersheds in the conterminous U.S. between 2004 and 2009. The information presented provides data on the areal extent of wetlands but does not assess wetland condition or other qualitative changes to wetlands in coastal watersheds.
Blending Geospatial Technology and Traditional Ecological Knowledge to Enhance Restoration Decision-Support Processes in Coastal Louisiana
More informed coastal restoration decisions have become increasingly important given limited resources available for restoration projects and the increasing magnitude of marsh degradation and loss across the Gulf Coast. This research investigated the feasibility and benefits of integrating geospatial technology with the traditional ecological knowledge (TEK) of an indigenous Louisiana coastal population to assess the impacts of current and historical ecosystem change on community viability.

From Golems to Artificial Intelligence
by Yehuda Shurpin
I read recently that AI (artificial intelligence) has advanced so far that some robots can now pass the Turing test, which tests whether a machine's ability to exhibit intelligent behavior is indistinguishable from a human's. While robots are still not indistinguishable in all ways, that day is not too far off. Does this mean an AI-powered robot might someday be considered a human according to Jewish law? Could it be counted for a minyan?
As the wise King Solomon put it, "There is nothing new under the sun."1 The concept of man-made men (golems), and the question of their humanness (or lack thereof) has been discussed since Talmudic times. (Of course, there is a huge difference between a "living" golem and a man-made robot powered by AI, but this would seem to be the best place to start our discussion).
The Talmud relates that Rava once created a "man" through the mystical codes within the Sefer Yetzirah ("Book of Formation"). He then sent this man to Rabbi Zeira, who spoke to it, but the man was incapable of speech and did not reply. Rabbi Zeira then said to it, "You are a creation of one of my colleagues; return to your dust!"2
The Approach of the Chacham Tzvi
Was this "man" created by Rava considered human? Was Rabbi Zeira liable for murder?
The biblical term for "human" is often "[one who was] born from a woman,"3 implying that the definition of a human is one who was born from one. Additionally, Scripture describes murder as "spilling the blood of a human with[in] a human."4 Rabbi Tzvi Hirsch Ashkenazi (known as the Chacham Tzvi, 1656–1718), whose own grandfather Rabbi Eliyahu of Chelm reportedly created a "man,"explains that only one who kills a person that was formed within another human being is liable for murder. Thus, killing a being created from another source does not constitute murder.5
The question of murder aside, would this "man" be Jewish and be counted for a minyan? The Chacham Tzvi cites the rabbinic teaching that "the works of the righteous are their offspring." Thus, one might consider a creation of a (righteous) Jew to be Jewish. However, he notes that since Rabbi Zeira did not hesitate to destroy Rava's creation, it is evident that it was not qualified to count for a minyan. For had there been even a minimal use for this "man," to destroy it would have been wasteful.6
Rabbi Tzvi Hirsh Shapiro of Munkacs (1850–1913), in his work Darkei Teshuvah, points out that since the Chacham Tzvi (and others7) needed to cite a specific source in Scripture to prove that killing a humanoid did not constitute murder, apparently he held that it may very well have some element of humanness, independent of the question of murder. He therefore entertains the question of whether the shechitah ("kosher slaughter") performed by such a creation would be valid.8
The notion that a golem may have an element of humanness left some, including the Chacham Tzvi's two sons, a bit puzzled.
It Has No Soul
Both sons, Rabbi Avraham Meshulam Zalman, in his work Divrei Rabeinu Meshulam,9 and Rabbi Yaakov Emden in Sheilot Yaavetz,10 quote Kabbalists,11 who explain that only G‑d has the power to draw a human soul down from heaven. At best, a person using the power of the Sefer Yetzirah can only animate something on par with an animal. It is for this reason that if one "killed" such a creature (as in the story with Rava), they say, it is not considered murder.
From Golems to Robots
It should be noted that unlike a robot, a golem has some sort of a spiritual spark animating it. It is brought to life through a righteous individual using the secrets of creation hidden within the Sefer Yetzirah. This is clearly not the case for a man-made robot powered by algorithms.
Thus, our robots, powered by computers, are seemingly even less "human" than a golem. Nevertheless, putting that aside for argument's sake, there is one aspect where a robot may have an advantage over a golem.
Artificial Intelligence and Speech
Everything in the world can be divided into four "kingdoms": mineral, vegetable, animal, and human. The word for "human" is medaber, which means "speaker."12 This implies that the ability to speak is integral to who we are as humans. Thus, unlike the Chacham Tzvi, many explain that the reason we can't count a golem for a minyan is that it lacks the faculty of speech. At first blush, this would imply that if the creature could just talk (as today's robots certainly can), it would be considered human.
However, as many point out, the key defining characteristic of humanity cannot be speech alone, for there are people who cannot speak—and parrots that can.13 Therefore, they explain that when we refer to humanity as medaber, the actual intent is intelligence.14
Based on this, there are some who have made the surprising claim that if one would somehow make an intelligent and speaking golem (a feat many mystics say is theoretically possible15) it perhaps could be counted for a minyan.16 If this is true for a golem, then perhaps it would be true for a robot powered by AI!
However, many point out that when the rabbis say "intelligence," they aren't merely referring to the collection of data and facts, or even the ability to analyze and problem-solve, but to what some would call "moral intelligence," or as others put it, "free will."17
It All Comes Together: Speech, Intellect and Soul
The chassidic masters question why humanity is defined as medaber ("speaker") and not maskil ("understander").18 After all, as we have pointed out, there are people who are unable to talk and animals that can!
Rabbi Sholom Dovber of Lubavitch explains that the use of the term medaber is indeed precise; however, it doesn't just refer to the ability to talk, but rather to the koach hadibur, the potential or power to talk.19 Human speech is different than any other similar type of communication, for it is not merely an external "revelation"; rather, it reveals what is "hidden" inside the person. Certainly, one can parrot words and sounds, but medaber refers to the power that gives shape, letters and words to one's thoughts, which are then spoken with one's mouth. The chassidic masters explain that the faculty of speech is in fact rooted in the essence of one's soul, and it is therefore much higher and deeper than intellect itself. Thus, although two people may have the same exact thought, they express it in their own unique, individual way.
Thus, even when we characterize humans as medaber, "those who talk," we are essentially also characterizing them as having unique, G‑d-given souls.
And that is something that AI cannot replicate.

In the wake of Jordan Bohannon's surgery, freshman PG Joe Toussaint is ready to 'step up tremendously'
With Jordan Bohannon potentially missing all of next season after hip surgery, Iowa's point guard situation is different than when Toussaint committed in September.
In the wake of Jordan Bohannon's surgery, freshman PG Joe Toussaint is ready to 'step up tremendously' With Jordan Bohannon potentially missing all of next season after hip surgery, Iowa's point guard situation is different than when Toussaint committed in September. Check out this story on hawkcentral.com: https://www.hawkcentral.com/story/sports/college/iowa/basketball-men/2019/06/06/jordan-bohannon-surgery-joe-toussaint-ready-step-up-connor-mccaffery-bakari-evelyn-fran-mccaffery/1346583001/

Jordan Bohannon created some of the most memorable moments from Iowa's 2018-19 basketball season.
The straightaway game-winner against Northwestern.
The step-back, hand-in-his-face 3-pointer to go to overtime at Indiana.
The lay-up through contact to ice Iowa's NCAA Tournament win over Cincinnati.

Every play, every game, Joe Toussaint was watching. The New York point guard and Hawkeye signee studied Bohannon — the way he shoots, the way he handles, the way he talks, the way he leads.
Toussaint was eager to play with Bohannon and "feed off him," he said.
And that will still happen … just maybe not next year.
With Bohannon potentially missing all of next season due to hip surgery, Iowa's point guard situation is different than when Toussaint committed in September. Instead of learning and waiting in the wings, he could have more of a significant role in his first year.
"With Jordan out, I'm going to have to step up tremendously," the three-star point guard from the Bronx said. "Just being a leader and not being afraid to talk, not being afraid to make mistakes."
Toussaint said he and Iowa's coaches haven't discussed their expectations for him in the wake of Bohannon's surgery, but he expects to have that conversation soon after he arrives on campus this Saturday.
He has been talking with Bohannon, though.

"I told him that I still need his help, I need him to guide me through the whole season, the offseason — just being a leader," Toussaint said. "He's a great player. I watched him play a lot. I just love his game. He's just a tough guy."
Redshirt sophomore Connor McCaffery joins Toussaint as the healthy point guards on the depth chart. Redshirt freshman C.J. Fredrick can handle the ball, but he's more of a shooting guard. Fran McCaffery is also pursuing Valparaiso graduate transfer Bakari Evelyn, a combo guard who could play both perimeter spots.
Joseph Lods coached Toussaint at Cardinal Hayes in the Bronx. He's been with the program for 15 years and seen a whole lot of talent in his gym.
Lods said he's optimistic Toussaint can make an early impact in Iowa City, because he's one of the most college-ready seniors he's seen in New York.
"He might be Big Ten all-freshman team, something like that," Lods said. "He's going to pick you up and guard you the whole length of the floor. I've had so many kids, I've been doing this for a long time now — he's there. He's not going to shrink in the moment.
"Joe is strong. There's nothing frail about him. Very, very strong-willed kind of kid. He's very, very college-ready. He's the most college-ready kid we've had in a long time."
The thought with Toussaint is he brings quickness and running back-like shiftiness that Iowa hasn't had at point guard in some time. He looks to set up teammates, but he can take over a game when necessary.
Lods recalled countless games during Toussaint's high school career where he'd erase a second-half deficit for a win. He also recalled the moment he told Toussaint he was close to breaking Cardinal Hayes' all-time scoring record, which was set in 1990 by future Kentucky Wildcat, No. 4 overall pick and NBA All-Star Jamal Mashburn.
"And then he's like: 'Say no more. Say no more,'" Lods laughed.
A few months later, Toussaint broke the record.
"He's got so much confidence. It's crazy," Lods added. "He's always going to find a way."
Toussaint is all-in on the Hawkeyes. He fell in love with the program during his official visit in September, saw no need for more visits and committed on the spot. He said he and Patrick McCaffery are already talking about their freshman-year workout plans.
Even though New York native Andrew Francis was Toussaint's main recruiter, the 6-foot guard said he never thought of de-committing when Francis left Iowa for Cal.
"He had to do what's best for him, and I respect that," Toussaint said. "All the coaches made me feel so comfortable, you know? It's not just one particular coach that singled me out. All the coaches made me feel comfortable."

This is an original painting and comes with all the artefacts and imperfections of original works. The original painting was hand drawn with compass and straight-edge and finished with drawing ink, watercolour paint and gold metallic paint.
Notes: Unlike the matt finish of watercolour paint, drawing ink has a slight sheen to it's finish. This painting may have a paper watermark in the bottom righthand corner of the paper and may have tiny perforations in the paper where a compass has been used. These will not be visible when the painting has been framed.
Important: Please expect to wait a little longer for this item as we flat-pack the paintings to ensure they reach you in perfect condition and they can take extra time in transit because of their size. We also send these paintings via an insured and signed for service – as they cannot be replaced if they go missing. Part of the cost of this is included in the price of the painting itself, you will be charged a standard rate of postage at the checkout.
'Original Painting' in this context means that this is a painting and not a printed copy. It was drawn and painted by hand and is a one of a kind. This painting was drawn directly from this crop circle as it appeared in the field – and from no other source. We do not own or claim the copyright for the design itself, only this specific painted version shown on the website. For more information about copyright see the About Our Website section of the website.
Materials: This painting is created on hot-press cotton watercolour paper (Quarter Imperial) with deckled edge on one side and a cut edge on another – some paintings may carry a watermark of the paper maker in the bottom left of the paper.
The painting was first drawn in pencil with compass and straight edge. The watercolour paint is then applied, before the entire design is outlined with a fine-line permanent ink. Finally, the black areas are painted-in using traditional drawing ink with a brush.
Packaging: Each painting is sent flat-packed to ensure it reaches you in perfect condition.
Helping to Archive the phenomenon: We use a large part of the price of this painting to have a high resolution scan made and then we digitally archive the image. In buying this painting you are helping create a digital archive of images for the future.

In Spain, there is a national register for the protection of intellectual property (Registro de la Propiedad Intelectual) which is part of the Spanish Ministry of Education, Culture and Sports. Registration in this register constitutes proof of a creator's paternity on his work. That is to say, when a work is created in Spain, it can be submitted to the register to ensure its protection. However, this registration is not mandatory since the work is protected by the mere fact of its creation, provided that it is original.
As a result, even though the creator keeps his personal rights to his work, he will not be able to claim his right to exploit it since his creation was made under an employment contract. Nevertheless, the employer is only authorized to exploit this work within the framework of the company's activities and will not be able to sell or transfer it to a third person.
The Berne Convention of 1886, ratified by all the member states of the European Union (and more than 100 countries around the world) established the international protection of literary and artistic works. According to this convention, a foreign creator is automatically protected by the applicable law of the country where his work is represented. In this way, a foreign creator will benefit from the same protection of his works as given to Spanish artists, without having to comply with any formality.
Copyright collecting companies aim to protect and distribute the royalties between their members for the use of their works. They have concluded reciprocity agreements between them to protect the works of their members abroad. In Spain, the SGAE (Sociedad General de Autores y Editores) guaranties the protection of Spanish works in 208 countries around the world as well as protecting and representing the interests of foreigner creators on Spanish territory. It especially ensures the respect of reproduction, distribution and transformation rights as well as remuneration for providing works to public and private entities. The SGAE also handles licensing grants to use works. Thus, a creator affiliated with a copyright collective company in his country will not have to be vigilant about the uses of his work in Spain as the SGAE will be directly, and without any request from him, in charge of ensuring the protection of his interests in the country.


"Night owls" – those who go to bed late and then get up later – have significantly lower functional connectivity in the brain, slower reaction times, increased sleepiness during working hours and may struggle with a standard 9am to 5pm day job compared to early risers, according to a new international study.
Research has found that individuals whose internal body clock dictates later-than-usual sleep and wake times (with an average bedtime of 2.30am and wake-up time of 10.15am) have lower resting brain connectivity in many of the regions linked to the maintenance of consciousness.
People who preferred a late sleep-wake cycle had these differences in their resting brain connectivity, which resulted in poorer attention, slower reactions and increased sleepiness during the standard working day hours, according to lead researcher Dr Elise Facer-Childs, formerly of the University of Birmingham, UK, and now based at the Monash Institute of Cognitive and Clinical Neurosciences (MICCN).
"This mismatch between a person's biological time and social time – which most of us have experienced in the form of shift work or jet lag – is a common issue for night owls trying to follow a normal work day," Dr Facer-Childs said.
More than 60 per cent of Australians are constrained to a regular 9am to 5pm working day, but for up to 40 per cent of these who could be 'night owls', this could be negatively impacting them.
The study, published in the journal SLEEP, investigates brain function at rest and linked it to the cognitive abilities of 38 individuals who were identified as either night owls or 'morning larks'.
Study participants underwent MRI scans coupled with continuous sleep/wake monitoring and questionnaires over a period of two weeks, and testing sessions took place between 8am and 8pm with participants also asked to report on their levels of sleepiness.
Early risers reported to be less sleepy and had their fastest reaction times during the morning test, while night owls performed better later in the evening, although these results were not significantly better than the early risers.
Previous studies have shown that night owls are linked to greater daytime sleepiness, increased health risks (such as cancer), increased alcohol consumption and substance abuse, decreased psychological wellbeing through higher rates of depression, sleep disorders, negative health outcomes, and, in extreme cases, higher mortality rates.

Edwin Van Der Sar is coming out of Retirement!
The Ex Ajax, Juventus, Fulham and Manchester United Goalkeeper is coming out of retirement for one game only at his former side VV Noordwijk. The Current Marketing Director for AFC Ajax played at his local side for one season before signing for Louis Van Gaal's Ajax in 1990 after a trial at the club. After deliberation, Van Der Sar agreed to put his gloves back on for one more game after an injury to first-choice keeper Mustafa Amezrine.
Van der Sar's last competitive appearance came for Manchester United in the 2011 Champions League final. He will play this Saturday in the second tier of the Dutch amateur leagues.
