Haystack Full of Needles: A memoir of research on mechanisms of memory in the decades that defined neuroscience by Louis Neal Irwin https://www.amazon.com/dp/1664140603 Lirwin.org How do we store information in the brain? Is memory a thing in a place, like a specific molecule in a particular cell? Or does learning require a process in a population, like neurons firing in a specific pattern for each experience? This combination of memoir and history tells the story of how the mechanisms of memory were gradually revealed, through biographical vignettes of the scientists who set out to solve the riddle of memory, including the author?s own efforts as he was coming of age as a scientist. It shows how individual goals intertwine with the technologies at hand to push scientific knowledge forward, often erratically, and always in the context of social forces and private ups and downs. Not only a compelling personal story with the war in Vietnam, civil rights movement, and downfall of two presidents as backdrop, this is a lucid explanation of brain function for the nonscientist and valuable contribution to the history of science in the decades that saw neuroscience join molecular biology as the marquee biomedical accomplishments of the twentieth century About the author Writer, neuroscientist, astrobiologist, educator, and political activist.

Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson's administration secretly submitted a $3.3 billion bid to buy back the city's infamous parking meter system — and that bid was higher than the winning offer of $2.53 billion from investment firm Stonepeak. The bombshell dropped during a City Council hearing when a Stonepeak executive casually revealed Chicago's losing number, leaving aldermen furious and demanding answers the mayor hasn't provided.The original 2008 parking meter privatization under Mayor Richard M. Daley was already one of Chicago's most notorious fiscal disasters. Now Brandon Johnson quietly tried to top it — with a multibillion-dollar secret offer taxpayers knew nothing about, shielded for years by NDAs that only lifted in June 2026. Chicago bid nearly $800 million above what it took to actually win the deal.Aldermen are demanding the Law Department explain how a mayor who can't even finance a buyback submitted a bid that high without council approval or public disclosure. This is big-city government failure on a scale that should embarrass everyone involved — and as Sean puts it, Brandon Johnson has zero business running a city this size.Subscribe to @reasonablenews for daily coverage of the stories the mainstream media won't tell you straight.#Seattle #Socialism #WashingtonPoliticsGO PREMIUM WITH REASONABLE+ FOR UNCENSORED ACCESS

   It's ok if you want to stick a fork in the Royals as it pretty much looks like they are cooked.  Tied with the Mets for the worst record in baseball at 7-15, they are hanging their heads showing us all there's something more going on.  Manager Matt Quatraro appears to be losing his team and it's so bad Salvy had to go on social media to disagree with his skipper.  This is a hot mess for a team that had real expectations.    Kansas Speedway just keeps delivering the best NASCAR Cup races as Tyler Reddick won a thriller Sunday afternoon.  Reddick has now won FIVE of the nine Cup races this year driving for Michael Jordan's race team.  MJ was at the track and walked across the infield to celebrate with his driver when it was over.  This is so good for the sport and a great day for Kansas Speedway.    President Trump posted one of our Navy ships working the blockade shot the engine room of an Iranian tanker that would stop heading to Iran.  They had a bad day as we then took over the vessel.   FIFA is really, really mad at all the democrats in New York and New Jersey as they prepare to host the World Cup.   Gracie Hunt posts a video of her lavish engagement party that featured the greatest trophies in sports and the St. Louis Cardinals are bullying local businesses by strong arming the city's Board of Aldermen.

In 1497 a veritable army of about 15,000 men from Cornwall turned up in south London, intent on bringing violence to the City. What follows is a grand tale of the queen deliberately remaining in the city, the Aldermen arming themselves to the teeth, and the campaign that followed. Along with this we examine three years where the King's health took a sudden turn, the career of Perkin Warbeck came to a bloody end, trade CONTINUED to be a complicated mess for London's merchants, and much more. From decaying public landmarks, to royal palaces burning to the ground, to the ritual of bloody executions, welcome to London here at the final years of the 15th Century.
