Paralyzed Man with Severed Spine Walks Again Thanks to Implant

Some really good news out of Switzerland.  

None of the nine who have received this procedure use it to walk in everyday life (yet) but this is a great start.

Stuff I found interesting or amusing and thought I'd share.

- This actually looks pretty cool (and what great free advertising for AirBnB)

- Interesting man. Interesting story. Interesting history.

- Thanks a lot Canada! Canadian senator's report accidentally reveals locations of US nuclear weapons in Europe. Or maybe the information was leaked to pressure the US to get those nukes out of unstable Turkey? So - thanks Canada?

Your obligatory will Rob Gronkowski un-retire speculation.

- The lone Mustang pilot who held off 30 fighters from attacking B-17's for over half an hour. "It was a case of what seemed to be one lone American against the entire Luftwaffe." Where do we find such men?

- Richard Feynman explains math.

- Why can't we be more like the Swiss?

Stuff I found interesting or amusing and thought I'd share.

- Some interesting perspective on Brexit from Gary Kasparov

- Heh heh - speaking of Brexit

- An uncertain future for Earth's largest telescope

- This is a problem elected officials should make a priority instead of their hissy fit sit-ins - mental illness and civil liberties. What can you do for a person with obvious mental health issues but who refuses help?

- I LOVE this story! Maine's First Lady gets a summer job as a waitress to help with household income. Good for her (although Maine really should pay their Governor more)

- It's official - Switzerland now has the best coffee shops in the world!
