Bangkok--3 Jan--Koi Art Gallery
Koi Art Gallery is proud to present Post Human art exhibition to be held from December 13, 2013 - January 26, 2014. This exhibition showcases the latest artworks by Chatchawan Nilsakul.
Post Human is a solo exhibition of latest artworks by Chatchawan Nilsakul, a talented artist and reputed Fine Art professor at the prestigious Chiang Mai University. In this exhibition, he takes on a unique approach of comparing contemporary human figure and form to architectural composition.
The artist views the evolution of the physical human body as a reflection of its historical aspects, which further expresses the terrain of its contemporary times. He explores the further development of society, era and atmosphere of its time through the form of the human body.
The acrylic on canvas works have a unique composition to them from different angles, different components of the painting can be viewed simultaneously by the viewer. In effect, a change in perspective takes place in the eye of the beholder exposing the results of the artists layered technique. His use of metallic colors and layers on his figurative models carves out a phenomenal, harmonious landscape.
Professor Chatchawan further showcases the contemporary human form through layers of acrylic and metallic colors that overlap, much like the complex society we live in today. He explains when you see a human body on a big scale, some part of the body looks like that of a stone, or becomes a part of a sculptural building. The body as an object speaks to viewers as an abstract element both visually and conceptually. It serves as a space that defines our human environment and existence.
Interested public are invited to Post Human Exhibition from May 9-31, 2013 (11.00 a.m. 7.00 p.m.) at Koi Art Gallery, 43/12 Sukhumvit 31 Road (Soi Sawaddee), Wattana, Bangkok, Tel. 02 662 3218.
Our unwanted items are often a highly-sorted after treasure for others. Led by Naiyana Veerapanpong, Director of Human Resources of Novotel Bangkok on Siam Square, the management team and staff of the hotel hosted a special lunch to bring a smile...

Team Canada's Jonathan Drouin celebrates a NHL preseason goal with the Lightning (Associated Press)
Some 3,500 Canadians trekked to Malmo, Sweden for this world junior championship, so one can only imagine how many snowbirds would flock to a more familiar travel destination.
The world junior runs on Canada's seemingly boundless passion for the event, although between the full rinks in Malmo for Sweden's games and the uptick in U.S. media coverage, interest in other top hockey nations is increasing incrementally. The combination of those two elements the ability and willingness of Canadian fans to travel over the Christmas holidays and the increased access American fans have to the tournament means the time for the U.S. to not host the WJC in a border city is fast approaching.
Enter Tampa, Fla., which has already done a bang-up job hosting a NCAA Frozen Four.
From Erik Erlendsson (@erlendssonTBO):
While the Forum would serve as the main venue for games, including the semifinal and championship games, a second venue is required. Germain Arena in Estero, home of the Florida Everblades in the East Coast Hockey League, is a likely candidate.
The Tampa area has hosted multiple Super Bowls, NCAA mens and womens basketball tournaments and the 2012 NCAA mens ice hockey championship. The 2015 Womens Final Four, 2016 NCAA Frozen Four and 2017 NCAA football championship game will be in Tampa.
[Rob] Higgins [who is the executive director of the Tampa Sports Commission Ed.] hopes the success of such events, particularly the Frozen Four, will resonate when the bidding process begins.
The fact we were a non-traditional host (of the 2012 Frozen Four) and were able to be successful ... speaks directly to our community as a sports town, as well as the passion we have for hockey here, Higgins said.(Tampa Tribune)
But what if there's a conflict with a Tampa Bay Buccaneers home playoff game? Don't worry, probably not a possibility.

Are You a Transhuman?: Monitoring and Stimulating Your Personal Rate of Growth in a Rapidly Changing World by FM-2030
Towards the end of the eighties, I had came across a few unusual books, which retrospectively had somehow influenced what I am doing today & in fact what I love to do today i.e. to pursue future-focused, change-oriented, brain-based technologies.
This unique book was one of them. It had been brilliantly written by a 'self-described chronic optimist' & a widely-traveled futurist/philosopher of Iranian origin, whose adopted name, FM-2030, seemed to resonate with his life-long obsessive conviction to create "a world of boundless wealth, endless life & unlimited free refills." [His real name was F M Esfandiary. I understand FM-2030 died from pancreatic cancer on July 8, 2000 at the age of 69, & was placed in cryonic suspension at the Alcor Life Extension Foundation in Scottsdale, Arizona, where his body remains today.]
Although I do not subscribe to all the author's beliefs & values as embodied in his book, I certainly admired his bold initiatives & far-sightedness.
This wonderful book spelt out both personal strategies & practical pathways to help people to achieve longevity & immortality. To me, it had served as a comprehensive field guide to life extension or 'transhumanism', which was the term the author would prefer to use.
From my personal perspective, the greatest learning experience I got out of this book is learning - & understanding - how to access & apply available technolgies &/or new products or services to extend human capabilities & capacities in an ethical, safe & responsible manner.

The National Security Agency wants to build a futuristic super computer that can break most types of encryption, according to documents obtained from Edward Snowden by the Washington Post. No reason to worry yet, however, as the Agency is not even close to figuring out how to build the space-age technology necessary to crack most security procedures.
According to the documents, the computer project is part of a $79.7 million research program, Penetrating Hard Targets, suspected to be under classified contracts in a lab in College Park, Maryland.
Encryption, has, since at least the Ancient Greeks, been a method of scrambling information with the noise of arbitrary character strings; only someone with a rubric could determine what is the noise and what is the message. The more noise, or bits, the more difficult it is to crack the code by trial and error. A 1,024-bit encryption could take years (or much longer) to decode.
Quantum mechanics exploits the rather unintuitive concept that matter can exist in multiple states. Quantum computers could calculate problems where bits are both a 1 and 0, or multiple 1s and 0s, potentially increasing the speed of calculations exponentially.
Potentially then, the NSA could build a computer that could decode the most advanced encryption much faster.
Generally speaking, allowing even one organization to have the capability to break encryption is potentially threatening to all security on the web. Though, advances in quantum computing could also have benefits to science and health. So, at this point, the benefits and harms are pretty theoretical.
Either way, according to The Washington Post, such computers are extremely fragile and the NSA is close to only a few of the basic building blocks. Thats a great step, but its a pretty small step on the road to building a large-scale quantum computer, explained MIT mechanical engineer, Lloyd Seth.
This is why the NSA is also pressuring and paying security experts to create backdoors and exploits.

Report: NSA Trying To Build A Quantum Computer To Crack Encryption
January 3, 2014
Peter Suciu for redOrbit.com Your Universe Online
On Thursday The Washington Post reported that the National Security Agency (NSA) is now developing a computer that, if successful, could break into nearly every type of encryption that currently exists. This would include encryption programs used to protect banking, medical, business and government records throughout the world.
The Washington Post attributes these findings to documents provided by former NSA contractor Edward Snowden, who fled to Russia in June after leaking the classified documents to the media. This latest leak suggests that their effort is to build a cryptologically useful quantum computer or what the Post refers to as a machine exponentially faster than classical computers. This research program, which could cost as much as $79.7 million, is reportedly titled Penetrating Hard Targets.
The work is allegedly being conducted under classified contracts at a laboratory in College Park, Md. the paper added.
Quantum computing is not solely in the domain of the government, and has long been a goal for many throughout the scientific community. Beyond being a tool to break encryption, quantum computing could offer a range of revolutionary uses.
Several organizations including DARPA (Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency) and Google have launched their own initiatives. In May the search giant along with NSA joined forces to create a new research laboratory that could use a quantum supercomputer to study artificial intelligence and machine learning.
Last year researchers at UC Santa Barbara also created a new quantum processor that would factor composite numbers in a way that could offer significant progress in the battle against cyber crime by creating more advanced encryption methods.
Now it appears that the NSA is pushing forward with efforts that go even further, and which would enable it to create a machine that could break through most encryption methods.
The Post also reported that computer scientists have speculated that the NSAs efforts could be more advanced than those being conducted in the best civilian labs. However, the leaked documents provided by Snowden suggest that the NSA is no closer to a success than those other efforts.

Fans of the television series "Lost" are licking their lips in anticipation of a new cyber-themed spy thriller called "Intelligence." The show, which premieres on CBS on Tuesday, stars Josh Holloway, who stole hearts and won accolades for his portrayal of the rakish con man James "Sawyer" Ford on "Lost."
"Lost" intrigued viewers with the ominous mysteries of a mythical island for six seasons, and aired its controversial finale in 2010. After that, Holloway strayed from television in favor of film, appearing in "Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol," "Paranoia" and "Battle of the Year." A fourth movie, "Sabotage," with Arnold Schwarzenegger, will be released this spring.
"Intelligence," which was created by Michael Seitzman ("North Country"), represents what fans hope will be Holloway's triumphant return to the small screen.
Video: Winter TV preview 2014
He plays Gabriel Vaughn, an American cyber-crime intelligence operative with a super-computer microchip implanted in his brain. This makes him the first human to be connected to the worldwide information grid. He can hack into any computer system and access almost any type of information to help the U.S. government fight its enemies at home and abroad. It's a scenario that would make the current flap over the U.S. government's penchant for spying on foreign governments look downright quaint by comparison.
And although he isn't physically enhanced, Vaughn can also whoop some serious butt.
"I've been doing martial arts all my life, and I grew up with three brothers and James Bond," Holloway says on a recent sunny afternoon at Disney studios in Burbank, where the show films. "We all wanted to be James Bond and we played spy games our whole lives. So with this it was like, this is fun. It's like Disneyland for dudes!"
Dressed in loose Army-green pants and a soft, cream-colored sweater, Holloway is easygoing with a ready smile and laugh crinkles around his bright blue eyes. His voice is low and steady, and he stretches his vowels with a slight Southern drawl. Although he is 44, his mannerisms are boyish, and he becomes particularly excitable when talking about stunt work.
There's lots of running and fighting and rolling over cars, most of which Holloway does himself. He even broke his hand and kept right on fighting. The hours are insane too sometimes 65 or 70 a week. That's a big difference from "Lost," which had 14 cast members and many rotating story lines.
"I had a lot of time off, and I'm living on an island and fishing and I'm like, 'Oh, this is a great job playing Sawyer,' " the actor says of his "Lost" experience. "But this show is no joke."

'Lost' star Josh Holloway finds his way back to TV with 'Intelligence'
New reporting from the Washington Post, based on documents leaked by NSA whistleblower Edward Snowden, revealed Thursday that the spy agency has "been racing to build a computer that could break nearly every kind of encryption used to protect banking, medical, business and government records around the world."
Critics have blasted the NSA for their obsession with encryption, saying that previously disclosed efforts by the NSA to create so-called "backdoors" into computer security platforms paves the way for additional malicious attacks and weakens the overall structure of the internet. Specifically, the previously secret program according to the Post, is part of a nearly $80 million research project codenamed Penetrating Hard Targets tasked with building what is referred to as a cryptologically useful quantum computer.
Such a machine, faster than classical computer, would theoretically allow the NSA to overpower other computer systems and bypass security measures installed to protect financial, medical, and other highly sensitive pieces of private information.
According to the Post:
The development of a quantum computer has long been a goal of many in the scientific community, with revolutionary implications for fields such as medicine as well as for the NSAs code-breaking mission. With such technology, all current forms of public key encryption would be broken, including those used on many secure Web sites as well as the type used to protect state secrets.
Physicists and computer scientists have long speculated about whether the NSAs efforts are more advanced than those of the best civilian labs. Although the full extent of the agencys research remains unknown, the documents provided by Snowden suggest that the NSA is no closer to success than others in the scientific community.
Critics have blasted the NSA for their obsession with encryption, saying that previously disclosed efforts by the NSA to create so-called "backdoors" into computer security platforms paves the way for additional malicious attacks and weakens the overall structure of the internet.
A separate portion of the story also mentions the existence of a project called "Owning The Net." The article does not go into details about the program but the name suggests much about its possible purpose.
The Post article describes how the NSA is in seeming competition to build a workable quantum computer against some of the most advanced public and private research institutes in the world. How far along they are in actually achieving a workable model remains unclear. According to the Post:
Quantum computers have many applications for todays scientific community, including the creation of artificial intelligence. But the NSA fears the implications for national security.

Whether youre in it for the thrill of the game or the impressive display of commercials and half time shows, Super Bowl 48 is upon us. This year though, youll be able to watch it wherever you want for free.
If you can say 2013 was a big year for anything, it was surely streaming video. Everything with a screen and WiFi can stream Netflix, with mobile browsers and apps growing exponentially more powerful as smartphones move closer and closer to being the only computer we really need to get through the day.
Just about everything can be streamed, and there are plenty of people out there willing to dump cable television and live in an all streaming world. As the largest television event in the US draws closer, Fox Sports has announced that the Super Bowl will be streamed on their website for free.
Fox hasnt announced any restrictions to viewing the Super Bowl livestream, or their NFC streams that start this Sunday, but that doesnt mean there wont be. Weve seen limiters in the past that require you somehow prove you have cable service in order to access these streams. While we dont know either way, theres plenty of good reasons to let the stream be free for all. The big money maker for these events are the commercials, and especially when it comes to the Super Bowl there can be no greater reason to want eyeballs more than subscriptions.
Over the past two years there has been no shortage of alternate services to stream parts of Super Bowl content, but Fox Sports has the ability here to offer the whole package and keep people streaming for hours. This includes people on smartphones, tablets, laptops, and more who would be in places where they cant just sit in front of a television. A stream like this could really set the tone for large televised events for the rest of the year, so it will be interesting to see how this gets handled.

Even if Super Bowl XLVIII isnt blasted by a blizzard, you probably wont recognize MetLife Stadium come the night of Feb. 2.
Though every stadium that hosts the Big Game gets a makeover, the first 47 likely will pale in comparison to the transformation the NFL has in mind some of it out of necessity for the first Super Bowl to be held outdoors in the Northeast.
How big? It will require more than 10,000 workers starting a full month in advance and potentially battling the elements to get the 82,500-seat stadium ready for its much-anticipated close-up.
Its clearly going to be a historic occasion, said Frank Supovitz, who oversees the Super Bowl as the NFLs senior vice president of events. Theres a first time for everything, and you only have one chance to get it right the first time. Thats why were all so incredibly focused on every last detail we see coming.
The Giants and Jets pain both host teams ended up missing the postseason will be the NFLs gain, at least in terms of getting the four-year-old stadium ready for the Super Bowl.
With no local playoff games to get in the way, the overhaul of the building and the massive perimeter required by the Department of Homeland Security for a Level 1 national security event was set to begin Thursday, just four days after the Giants ended their season at home against the Redskins.
The perimeter, which must be a minimum of 300 feet from the stadium, is the main reason the NFL needs so much construction lead time.
The perimeter will be 2 / miles of chain-link fence ranging from six to eight feet high, with welcome pavilions containing 130 metal detectors that will be constructed just outside those fences where fans will have their tickets scanned and go through security on game day.

The league also will have vehicle inspection areas constructed inside the perimeter to make sure everything and they do mean everything, in light of the Boston Marathon bombings delivered to the stadium gets a computer screening.

(This is my blog post about the embryonic stem cell study. For my news article about the study, go here.)
Genetically modified human embryonic stem cells can solve one of the toughest problems facing embryonic stem cell therapy, immune rejection of transplanted cells, may have been solved, according to a UC San Diego-led research team.
The cells can be made invisible to the immune system by genetically modifying them to make two immune-suppressing chemicals, according to a study performed in mice given a human immune system. Immune functioning in the rest of the animal remains active. The immune protection also applies to differentiated cells derived from the stem cells.
If the approach works in people, patients receiving transplanted tissue or organs made from embryonic stem cells wouldn't have to take harsh immune-suppressing drugs, said Yang Xu, a UCSD professor of biology. The method also may prevent immune rejection of tissues grown from other types of stem cells.
These arehumanized laboratory mice that contain a functional human immune system. Such mice have been used for years; a UCSD research team developed a model with a stronger immune response to test their immune-suppressing tissues. / Zhili Rong, UCSD
Researchers placed genes in the stem cells to produce the two chemicals, CTLA4-lg and PD-L1, naturally made in the body. The humanized immune systems of the mice accepted transplants of cells engineered to make the chemicals. The researchers transplanted cardiomyocytes and fibroblasts derived from the engineered stem cells. Transplants derived from regular embryonic stem cells were rejected.
The study was published online Thursday in the journal Cell Stem Cell. Its findings will have to be confirmed for safety and effectiveness in more animal studies before human trials can be considered, which will take years. The mouse model itself was "optimized" for the study to more faithfully reflect the human immune system than other immune models, the study said.
Xu said a further study is being considered in monkeys, a large animal model considered to better reflect human biology than mice.
Embryonic stem cells are being tested along with many other kinds of stem cells to replace diseased or destroyed body parts, such as spinal cord segments and insulin-producing beta cells in the pancreas. All of these cells have advantages and drawbacks. Immune rejection, along with a tendency to form tumors, are two big drawbacks to embryonic stem cells.
San Diego-based ViaCyte is preparing to test a therapy with beta cells within a year. The company encapsulates them in a permeable barrier that allows insulin to diffuse out but prevents the immune system from entering. However, that approach won't worth with transplants that must integrate into the body, such as spinal cord tissue. So a way of turning off the immune system just in those cells is an attractive idea.

London (PRWEB UK) 3 January 2014
Research on how to harness the potential use of stem cells for common conditions is a worldwide subject of scientific discovery spanning over 3 decades. Incredible results in laboratory experiments have been recorded in 2013 for areas such as tissue regeneration for coronary disease, diabetes, cancer, Parkinsons and Alzheimers disease. All stem cells, whether gathered from an early embryo, a foetus or an adult, have two key properties.
Stem cells have the ability to replicate themselves as needed and can generate any specialised cells that make up the tissues and organs of the body with proper direction. This opens up an exciting potential for the generation of therapies for repair and replacement of damaged and diseased tissues and organs, as models for the testing of new drugs and helping us to understand at a cellular level what goes wrong in many conditions. 1
Stem cells derived from bone marrow or fat has been found to improve recovery from stroke in experiments using rats. This study was published in BioMed Central's open access journal Stem Cell Research & Therapy early last year. Treatment with stem cells improved the amount of brain and nerve repair and the ability of the animals to complete behavioural tasks. Using stem cell therapy holds promise for patients but there are still many questions which need to be answered, regarding treatment protocols and which cell types to use. 2
Other areas in which stem cell transplants are already being successfully used in the clinic trials are for treatment for spinal lesions and the regeneration of epidermal surfaces and in leukaemia, where stem cells are replaced during stem cell-containing bone marrow transplants. 3 These treatments demonstrate the potential of stem cells and intensive research is being performed all over the world to improve our understanding of stem cells and how these can be used therapeutically for PD.
Recently published research by a team of scientists in Wales has shown early signs of being able to regenerate damaged heart tissue. By experimenting at Cardiff and Swansea university laboratories, a team of scientists working in the private sector hopes to develop new treatments for heart failure over the next five years.
In a statement for the research team Ajan Reginald said, "We've identified what we think is a very potent type of stem cell which is heart specific. The interim analysis looks very positive and very fortunately the study does show some signs of early regeneration. What the therapy does is reproduce more cells in large numbers to regenerate the part of the heart that is damaged. The first stage of clinical trial is now completed which was focused on safety. 4
Further research during the next five years will produce more alternative solutions to diseases which currently have treatment but no permanent cures for. 5
