[remarkably ingenius!] new things about The PS4 Second Son'...be the first to know!

contrary to what some youths assumed,Second Son isn't the most original game in the world, but it is a very fantastic  game that serves as the best demonstration yet of the PlayStation 4's powers. To that end, Sony-owned developer Sucker Punch Productions decided to include an unprecedented photo mode that lets players capture and share moments from Seattle's streets, sweeping vistas, and superhero action.

Photo modes are common in racing games, but Second Son's stands out because of the realistic urban setting. With options for color processing, camera angles, and almost infinite flexibility with depth of field, playing the game feels like a new, virtual form of street photography where raising the viewfinder to the eye is replaced by a click of the L3 button.

The mode streamlines the techniques used by Duncan Harris, aka Dead End Thrills who captures similar artistic "photographs" within games. It's a feature that comes alive with the PS4 controller's Share button; you can instantly save photos and post them to Facebook and Twitter without needing to deal with complex menus or USB storage. Here's hoping other developers see the same potential from here on out.

Dear President of Nigeria,
We the people give you the authorization to withdraw ‘your’ military. We have had enough of the military placebo effect. You call Boko Haram ghosts; we know these ‘ghosts.’ We know where they are and are ready to go after them and crush them now. Enough time has been wasted; too many lives have been lost; too much property damaged; too many of our children have been abducted, raped and conscripted. We have had enough! The Nigerian people have declared that enough is enough. 

We are on standby, ready to go in. An army of 50,000-100,000 is ready and mobilizing. The Nigerian people from Borno and across the country are holding back waiting for you to fulfill your obligation to the people and grant us executive authorization to carry sophisticated arms and go after Boko Haram terrorists in all tunnels, caves and jungles where they hide in plain sight…

We will not wait indefinitely. In your failure to exigently approve our request for authorization to defend ourselves from this continuous carnage and rescue our girls, we will proceed to seek authorization from the affected state governments; in their failure to quickly approve, we will go to the local governments and finally to the court of the people.

We have presented to you this critical formula for self-defense which was activated and utilized in Algeria between 1991-2000, and checked a similar insurgency in that country. In the United States today, armed civilians patrol the borders to defend the nation’s integrity.

The civilian-JTF and thousands of willing youth and ex-military volunteers across Nigeria are waiting for your authorization so we can initiate our armed ‘Patriot’ mission to destroy Boko Haram, rescue all abductees and restore life and promise to the most severely affected farming villages of the north.

We know where Boko Haram is. They are no ghosts. We have received reports of the movement of the abducted girls which we are able and ready to act upon promptly; a response ‘your’ military fails at.

inspirational!... imagine this 4-Year-Old Girl...reigning as Vogue Star!

It all started with an AquaDoodle mat and Mr. Potato Head glasses: The perfect outfit for a style-savvy little girl. 

Since that first dress-up session, a 4-year-old girl, nicknamed Mayhem, and her mother Angie have been using the Instagram hashtag #fashionbyMayhem for the last 14 months to feature the amazing dresses that the pair would create out of paper and other household supplies. 

It didn't take long before the adorable photos gathered a huge online following — Angie's Instagram, 2sisters_angie, now has 376,966 followers and photos sometimes get upward of 20,000 "likes."

That Instagram fame has now translated into a collaboration with Vogue. 

Angie, Mayhem and Vogue have teamed up to reimagine iconic looks from past years' Met Balls, paper-style. The Met Ball is an annual fundraising gala benefiting the Metropolitan Museum of Art's Costume Institute, which is run by Vogue's Editor in Chief Anna Wintour, and it's taking place tonight in New York City.

see a 13 years old who Is Now An iOS App Store Star!

It's not uncommon for developers to excel at an early age, but that doesn't make 17-year-old Michael Sayman any less impressive.

The Miami native was not only featured in a video at Facebook's f8 developer conference last week, but his app 4Snaps has risen to the top of the iOS App Store, a feat that even seasoned developers have a difficult time pulling off.

Sayman has been coding since he was 13 and currently has 13 apps in the Apple's App Store.

In a recent interview with PandoDaily, he revealed how he went from viewing coding tutorials on Google to being featured at a developer event for one of the biggest tech company's in the world. His app 4Snaps is currently beating Starbucks, Luminosity, and Fitbit in overall app store ratings, according to PandoDaily. 

4Snaps is a free game that requires a player to take four pictures in order to help another player guess a particular word. 

When Sayman was in middle school during 2010, he begged his mother for $100 for the iOS App Store registration fee. On the condition that he would pay his mother back, she loaned him the money.

His first contribution to the app store called Club Penguin Cheats app, a tutorial for the popular Disney game. It quickly rose to the top 10, and Sayman ultimately ended up making tens of thousands of dollars on the first app he had ever built.

Although Sayman struggled with his second app, a Club Penguin-themed game, his success helped him provide for his family during a very difficult time. The 2012 recession hit his family hard— Sayman's father lost his job and his parents were forced to foreclose their home. When the Sayman family moved into a smaller apartment, he helped his parents pay for their mortgage when he was only 16 years old.

Now, two years and several apps later, Sayman already has his foot in the door at Facebook as an intern this summer.  

His success story is one of several scenarios in which young teens with a passion for hacking and building have been able to break into the tech world.

In 2011, then 17-year-old Alex Godin, son of marketing Guru Seth Godin, was accepted into the extremely selective TechStars startup accelerator program after teaching himself to code in just seven days. He now works at Meetup, and before that he launched his own startup Dispatch, which was eventually acquired by Meetup.

Sayman taught himself how to code by watching tutorials through Google, but now there are plenty of initiatives aimed at teaching kids how to code. The iPad app Kodable, for example, is a free educational game that introduces kids to programming concepts and problem solving. CodeAcademy also offers free online courses in languagesincluding Javascript, HTML/CSS, and Python among others.

[ educative] amazing revelation about brains and muscles rejuvenation-be the first to know!

According to a trio of new studies released today, we may only be as old as our blood.Scientists from Harvard and Stanford are in agreement that feeling younger could be as simple as a blood transfusion. In three separate trials published today, the researchers unilaterally agree that injecting elderly mice with blood from younger mice rejuvenates their brains and muscles and reverses some signs of aging.

"We can turn back the clock instead of slowing the clock down," the director of the Center for Molecular Medicine at the National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute told the New York Times.

Two separate teams of scientists—one at the University of California, San Francisco and one at Harvard—published a series of findings this weekend cataloguing the positive effects of GDF11, a protein found in young blood.

Researchers have been testing GDF11 in mice for years, focusing mainly on its positive effects on the heart. But the results from the most recent studies are dramatic: older mice were able to navigate mazes faster, run longer on treadmills, and demonstrated a better sense of smell. And the reverse appeared to be true as well—young mice injected with old blood had noticeable difficulties afterwards.

After four to five weeks of heterochronic parabiosis, the Science study found that muscle stem cells from the older partners had less DNA damage compared with controls. Their neural stem cells got a boost of activity as well, and they had a greater amount of blood flow in their brains.

Then the researchers switched to pure GDF11 injections. When they gave a new group of aged mice four weeks of treatment, they found that the protein itself gave similar enhancements as shared circulation. There were more stem cells in their muscles to create new tissue, and they performed better on strength and endurance tests than controls given saline. GDF11 treatment also increased the amount of blood vessels in their brains.

Harvard biologist Amy Wavers, who authored both of the Harvard studies published today, said that a "small group of human subjects" appeared to have similar GDF11 protein levels to the test mice but warned that scientists need to conduct more research before they can safely test the transfusions on humans.

Not so, says neuroscientist and author of the third study, Tony Wyss-Coray. The researcher says his new start-up company plans to conduct the first-ever young-blood clinical trial with a group of Alzheimer's patients at Stanford this year.
