Lucy and ducklings on the move
High drama in Charlottetown Monday afternoon as Lucy the duck — who made headlines in P.E.I. Earlier this month, for taking up residence at the Atlantic Superstore Garden Centre on University Avenue for the sixth year in a row — was on the move with her brood. Lucy got her ducks in a row and she, along with her five fuzzy ducklings, trekked from the garden center, through the plaza parking lot on their way to a more permanent water home.
One little duckling, who trailed his mother and siblings most of the way, had to take several breaks. According to a Superstore employee, the baby had hatched only about half an hour before the trip. A couple of the youngsters hit a roadblock as they tried to negotiate a curb before reaching University Avenue, but eventually everyone made it up and across the road. The family had lots of encouragement from onlookers and — as befits such an event — a police escort.
Lucy and her family will take up residence in a pond across the road.

Il cervello, questo sconosciuto - science
Ecco il cervello umano. Come fa l’insieme di 100 miliardi di cellule nervose ben compatate a farci pensare, sentire, agire e percepire il mondo? Gli scienziati americani del Yale Brain Function Lab, Connecticut, stanno cercando di capire meglio cosa avviene nel nostro cervello durante una conversazione tramite le registrazioni di una cuffia collegata a 64 cavi.L’azione dei terminali di questi cavi a fibre ottiche consentono di sondare il cervello con una penetrazione non invasiva di 2,5 cm. In questo modo, gli scienziati ottengono immagini dettagliate del cervello con macchie colorate luminose che indicano l’attività cerebrale. Non è come una radiografia, piuttosto assomiglia a una ricostruzione che coinvolge alcune ipotesi di fondo e una elaborazione dati.

Что мониторит НАСА на орбите МКС. Расследование "России 24"
У НАСА - проблемы: их заподозрили в замалчивании информации, которая может изменить представление о Вселенной. Американские уфологи убеждены: от них скрывают факт существования инопланетян. Дело в том, что видеотрансляция с камер, которые мониторят пространство с борта МКС, неожиданно прервалась.
