Like a stadium full of sports fans doing the wave, neurons coordinate their electrical signals in rhythmic patterns that sweep across the cortex, the brain’s outermost layer. Recent studies in humans and animals have shown these patterns, called traveling waves, can take on complex shapes, among them a rotating spiral that has been observed during deep sleep, memory retrieval, and other brain processes. A new study has now captured the fast-spinning waves spanning whole brains, offering clues to how they’re organized and what they might do. Learn more: News from Science

In Jurassic World, the Mosasaurus dragged the Indominus Rex underwater… but it was never shown eating it. Why? Fans have three theories: the Indominus’ frog DNA may have made it taste toxic, other creatures could have tried to steal the kill, or the Mosasaurus simply wasn’t hungry at all. The darkest possibility is that it attacked purely for the thrill of it—turning the final battle into a clash between two apex predators that both kill for sport.

If Americans impose a $20,000 visa bond on travelers and business people from your nation, then they have concluded that they have no desire and need to continue a productive person to person relationship with people from your nation, for probably the rest of this century. Americans are smooth, flowery talkers, but do not get carried away by all that smooth talk; Focus on what they do, not what they say. Seek other partners for rest of this century.

Ducklings have something called ‘imprinting’. Within hours of hatching, they bond with the first moving thing they see and treat it as their mother — whether it’s a cat, a dog, a human… or even you. Their tiny brains are wired for survival from the very first second.

Most people don’t have a busy life. They have a busy mind. For 10 minutes, I sit in front of a candle and let my attention rest on the flame. Every time my mind wanders, I gently bring it back. Theo loves it too. That’s the practice. Not perfection. Just returning. Over time, I’ve noticed more calm, more clarity, and better sleep. This simple practice became one of the foundations that eventually led me to discover Zhan Zhuang (standing meditation) the practice that helped my body reorganize, regulate, and heal on a much deeper level. If you’re ready to experience that next step, drop a “ZHANG” and I’ll send you my guided Standing Meditation practice. #meditation #mindfulmovemend

FIFA President Gianni Infantino on Argentina not winning the World Cup: “Something had to be done. They made a huge mistake, and they have to pay for it. It’s as simple as that. You should never bring politics into the beautiful game. They know that, and everyone else knows it too. Argentina made a very big mistake, so we have to stand by our position and distance ourselves from them.”

I awoke today to learn that I stand corrected about the 8-10ft creatures attacking people at the Miami Mall…. SHOCKING videos are pouring in from around the country showing creatures not only 8-10ft tall, but also some that stood 100ft tall… I guess I should have used that 72 hour rule thingy…
