Ladies and gentlemen, art connoisseurs and technophiles assemble! I am delighted to provide you with the most recent advancements in AI art. This fast-expanding subject can transform the fundamental essence of creative expression. New technologies are being built as we speak, new boundaries are being pushed, and new horizons are being explored. Yeah, my dear friends, the future of art has arrived!

"The key is to find the optimal neuro-rehabilitative strategy to maximize individual treatment outcome," says Professor Friedhelm Hummel, a neuroscientist and Director of the Defitech Chair for Clinical Neuroengineering at EPFL's School of Life Sciences. "If we want to address these challenges in everyday clinical practice, we have to first enhance our ability to predict the individual courses of recovery," adds Dr Philipp J. Koch, the study's first author. Hummel has now led an international team of scientists into a new approach for outcome prediction that can significantly improve stroke treatment. Publishing in the journal Brain, they demonstrate a predictive method based on two powerful, cutting-edge tools: connectomes and machine learning. The team included scientists from Sungkyunkwan University School of Medicine (Professor Y.-H.

When blood flow to the brain is somehow reduced or restricted, a person can suffer a stroke. Stroke is fairly common; in Europe alone, there are over 1.5 million new cases each year. Some strokes can be lethal, and when they're not, they often result in serious damage to the victim's ability to move. In fact, stroke is one of the major causes of long-term disability today. Recovery can be a long and arduous road.

Though gambling remains a controversial and highly-regulated industry across the United States, it is also an immensely lucrative one that continues to grow at an astounding rate. All sectors of the industry combine to inject a jaw-dropping $138 billion (US) annually into the US economy while also combining to employ close to 750,000 Americans. Globally, annual gross returns from gambling are expected to top half-a-trillion dollars by the end of 2019. Americans alone spend more money on gaming (which besides casino visits includes everything from lottery tickets to dog racing) than they do watching movies by a ratio of 10 to 1. The average American loses more money during an evening of gambling than he or she spends at the local shopping mall.

Time and again, we have seen and read about many natural disasters that have caused great havoc in the world, killing thousands of people and destroying properties and livelihood. Despite the fact that the human race has made tremendous technological progress in various fields, predicting and preventing natural disasters is one area where we haven't been able to surpass the supremacy of Nature. Despite the technological and scientific advancements in this field, and ground breaking developments in weather forecast techniques, disasters at many times cannot be accurately predicted. Dark days for India Any Indian won't easily forget the destruction caused by the tsunami in Southern India which was triggered by a major earthquake in 2004 and the back-to-back floods in Uttarakhand and Kashmir in 2013 and 2104 respectively. Damages of these floods ranged from 7 billion to 15 billion, impacting more than 2 million Indians.
