Today, in collaboration with @HHMIJanelia, we are releasing the “hemibrain” connectome, a detailed map of neuronal connectivity of roughly half of a fruit fly brain, plus tools for visualization and analysis. Learn more at https://goo.gle/30IroaG.

Am curious how the 4 compartments here (https://youtu.be/4lVOWoKF5Gw) - 

Central Complex

Olfactory

Visual

Higher Order 


- will extend to modeling human brain functioning, and re these 'Connectome' Information Technologies & machine learning and TensorFlow ... and in 'Avatar Bot Electronic Health Records' ... and for tele-robotic molecular brain surgery, for example ...

Unitarian Universalist history in First Parish Church (Cambridge, Massachusetts) ... since 1632 ...

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/First_Parish_in_Cambridge

From Wikipedia:

"The church is notable for its almost 400-year history, which includes pivotal roles in the development of the early Massachusetts government, the creation of Harvard College, and the refinement of current liberal religious thought."

(Liberal religious thought ... think Harbin Hot Springs as Heart Consciousness Church?)


First minister was Thomas Hooker, Congregationalist / Puritan ...

"The Meeting House's first minister, Thomas Hooker, stayed only a handful of years; he and most of his flock moved to Connecticut to escape religious persecution in 1636."


"In 1826, however, he [Reverend Abiel Holmes,] decided to break off relations with the liberals, specifically abolishing pulpit exchanges with the liberal or Unitarian ministers."

"By 1829, most of the Parish became Unitarian."

"In 1899, it was agreed that the church associated with that society should be called the First Church in Cambridge (Congregational), now part of the United Church of Christ, and this church, the First Parish in Cambridge (Unitarian) [now Unitarian Universalist]."


"The Reverend William Newell, the church's first avowedly Unitarian minister, led the congregation from 1830 to 1868. His immediate successor, Francis Greenwood Peabody, would become a leader of the Social Gospel movement."

"In 1837, Transcendentalist Ralph Waldo Emerson delivered his now famous "American Scholar" address—referred to by Oliver Wendell Holmes as America's "Intellectual Declaration of Independence"—at the First Parish Church.[1]"


Present membership[edit]

Since its founding, the town of Cambridge has changed greatly. Instead of being a rural community, separated from Boston by an hour's travel time, the town has become an urban center in its own right. The Cambridge church is to all intents and purposes a downtown church. Its membership fluctuates, as urban communities do, and its composition varies. The current church leadership, however, is committed to maintaining the witness of liberal religion, in keeping with the struggles of earlier generations.

Multiculturalism and social justice[edit]


The current site of First Parish in Cambridge
In 1967, First Parish founded the speakers series Cambridge Forum, which began radio broadcasts in 1970.[4]
First Parish in Cambridge is deeply committed to becoming a multiracial, multicultural, justice-making congregation through engagement both within and outside its walls. The Tuesday Meals[5] program provides hospitality and a meal once a week to anyone in need of nourishment. An active Social Justice Council includes task forces dedicated to environmental justice and immigration.













... and thinking-wise, and where would Harbin Hot Springs fit into this ...?

cultural history-wise ... lots of struggles ... in the context of New England liberal religious thought ...

To Dick, Lucy, Janie, Alden
Mildly concerning: 

What's this about Trump saying 'Take her out' about the Ukrainian ambassador Marie Yovanovitch:

My mother gave me a little metal box of mints for Xmas, which are on my table here in Canyon 94516, and which says "National Embarrassmints" with a picture of T-man Prez with a baseball cap on which itself says 1) "Make America Hate Again," and 2) "For a Fresh Mouth!" and he's also enunciating 3) "They're Yuge" ...Will save tin, like a politician's campaign buttons, for posterity's sake for awhile. On the back of this metal tin, it says too: "PRESENTS OF MIND: THE UNEMPLOYED PHILOSOPHERS GUILD" and MINTS made in the USA, Tin built in China (Paid For By Mexico) ... among other items ... a little American Politicana

Vote the bastard out, after he's impeached, - as the legal machinery / information technologies of democratic governance proceeds, despite T-bird's best efforts, I suppose ...
