Jo Cameron only realises her skin is burning when she smells singed flesh. She often burns her arms on the oven, but feels no pain to warn her.

That's because she is one of only two people in the world known to have a rare genetic mutation.

It means she feels virtually no pain, and never feels anxious or afraid.

Female bears give birth during hibernation and nurse their cubs through a period of helplessness. The female “hibernates” throughout the entire process, and unless disturbed, she will not leave the den until she brings her cubs out of the den in the spring. By that time, the cubs can walk and follow the mother as she feeds.

Trump has repeatedly claimed that Russia’s invasion would have never happened on his watch. Putin sought to play to Trump’s ego during the press conference, saying that he agreed with the sentiment. Trump turned to Putin and nodded in assent.

Note: You can only use Personal Hotspot by sharing the cellular internet connection on your iPhone. You can’t connect your iPhone to a Wi-Fi network, and then share that network with another device.

The brain activation detected by these sensors is then fed into a machine-learning model to interpret which brain signals correspond to which sounds for an individual user. It then uses those data to predict which word the user is attempting to say.

Using this new “inner speech” system, the participants needed only to think a sentence they wanted to say and it would appear on a screen in real time. While previous inner speech decoders were limited to only a handful of words, the new device allowed participants to draw from a dictionary of 125,000 words.

To ensure private thoughts remained private, the researchers implemented a code phrase: “chitty chitty bang bang.” When internally spoken by participants, this would prompt the BCI to start or stop transcribing.

The Oka Crisis (French: Crise d'Oka),[6][7][8] also known as the Mohawk Crisis[9] or Kanehsatà:ke Resistance (French: Résistance de Kanehsatà:ke),[1][10][11] was a land dispute between a group of Mohawk people and the town of Oka, Quebec, Canada, over plans to build a golf course on land known as "The Pines" which included an indigenous burial ground.

Around 8:30 the front-end loader rammed the barricade. Then armed police officers moved into the Pines,[29] and gunshots were fired from both sides.[43] Then the police retreated, abandoning six cruisers and the front-end loader.

Before the raid, there were approximately 30 armed Mohawk in and around the barricade; following the gun battle, this number grew to 60–70 and later grew to 600.[2] The Mohawks seized six vehicles, including four police cars, and commandeered the front-end loader to crush the vehicles and use them to form a new barricade across Route 344.[44]

A research group at the University of Rhode Island’s AI lab has found that a medium-length response from GPT-5 consumes an average of 18 watt-hours. This is a substantial increase from previous models and places GPT-5 among the most energy-intensive AIs ever benchmarked. To put this into perspective, 18 watt-hours is enough to power an incandescent light bulb for 18 minutes.
