Neural Assisted Painting
Proof of concept demo from Michael Carlon lets you create images using “brushes” which are based on neural networked trained data (ie - if you select the ‘cat’ brush, your input strokes will have cat-like features):
“Painting” conceptually via the use of neural nets.
There is very little info about the project other than a Reddit thread which states that the project should be released in a few weeks - [Link]

Eating animals is a huge contributor to world hunger. It takes 16 pounds of grain to produce one pound of beef, and only one pound of grain to produce one pound of bread. “By cycling our grain through livestock and into beef, we end up with only 6 percent as much good available to feed human beings as we would have if we ate the grain directly.” #govegan

Whenever someone who knows you disappears, you lose one version of yourself. Yourself as you were seen, as you were judged to be. Lover or enemy, mother or friend, those who know us construct us, and their several knowings slant the different facets of our characters like diamond-cutter’s tools. Each such loss is a step leading to the grave, where all versions blend and end.

Africa’s First Elephant Underpass
Elephants this month began crossing through Africa’s first dedicated elephant underpass in Kenya. It’s a new solution to the increasing problem of animal-human conflict in Africa.
The tunnel, which cost £130,000 to build, is designed to link two groups of the beasts previously separated by a busy motorway. The underpass, built using donations, reconnects wilderness areas on Mount Kenya’s highlands and the lower forests and plains — linking 2,000 elephants with 5,000 more below. (Source)
