IntelligentX is a beer you don't necessarily need to love on the first go. That's because it evolves with every batch based on customer feedback, as Smithsonian reports. Billed as the " world's first beer brewed by artificial intelligence," it uses a Facebook messenger bot to incorporate customer preferences into new batches of beer, tweaking its recipe along the way to learn how to make better brews.

London-based marketers at 10x teamed up with their neighbors at the machine-learning startup Intelligent Layer to add "launch fancy new beer" to the former's portfolio, so there's a reason it looks so slick. Food and booze are usually positioned as the artistic result of a chef or brewmaster's craft, but IntelligentX makes it, essentially, a scientific equation. The A.I. learns to do more of what people like and tweak what people don't.

IntelligentX: The World's First Beer Brewed by AI from IntelligentX on Vimeo

Whether that leads to the best brew possible is questionable. There's a reason "too many cooks in the kitchen" is seen as a bad thing. You can't please everyone, much less a faceless mass of regular consumers and professional brewers. It might just lead to a middle-of-the-road brew, rather than the award-winning beer its creators are aiming for. But hopefully the robot brewer has enough data-crunching abilities to sort out the valuable feedback from the noise.

Opinions expressed by Entrepreneur contributors are their own.

In 2014, Mark Zuckerberg invested $2 billion in the startup virtual reality (VR) platform, Oculus. Observers, including the media, expected that Facebook would reap the same high ROI it had recorded on Instagram and Whatsapp. However,the company's investment resulted in a downturn of fortune.
Related: How Men and Women Take Risks Differently in Business
In fact, CNBC called Facebook's $2 billion investment in VR " one of Mark Zuckerberg's rare mistakes." And the business site had reasons for making that assertion: Oculus didn't generate much buzz. And Facebook lowered the prices of its products to make it more attractive to buyers -- but to no avail.

Nobody seemed to want VR -- at least Oculus's version.

However, this misstep wasn't unique to Zuckerberg. While Oculus still exists, Altspace VR, which ran one of the most popular social VR experiences, actually closed operations because of the slow growth of the VR market.

It's almost difficult to believe that Altspace VR once raised $10 million in funds.

So, why did Zuckerberg knowingly take the risk to invest in something consumers were clearly not ready for? Was it overconfidence? Was CNBC right that Zuckerberg had made a mistake?

"The middle name of entrepreneurship"

Taking risks is the middle name of entrepreneurship. Most successful entrepreneurs, at some point, are seen as daring or even downright crazy. But it's those risks that have taken businesses to where they are today.

You too may be questioning your ability to take risks and how they will affect your standing as an entrepreneur. However, you may need to face those risks head-on to be successful.
Related: 5 Things Every Entrepreneur Should Know About Risk-Taking
The reason why most people shy away from risks is that they are not well-informed about what risk-taking entails. Fortunately, here are three things they -- and you -- should know that may change your mind about risk-taking forever.

1. Risks are not taken at a whim

Many assume that when the occasion demands it, the typical perpetual risk-taker jumps in without thinking. But that's far from the truth. Risk-taking requires careful thought, planning and hard work. Nothing is achieved by accident.

As entrepreneurship professor Leonard Green told Forbes, "Entrepreneurs are not risk-takers. They are calculated risk takers." In short, they move toward their goals, learn along the way, make adjustments where necessary and take action.

Green calls this the "Act. Learn. Build. Repeat" model. Careful preparation is what makes these people stand out from other so-called risk-takers.

Down the road, as lessons are learned, backup plans can be set up to help minimize risks. For example, on its own, an online business comes with a lot of risks. One of those risks, an article on Quttera pointed out, is what it called "brute force attack. A real entrepreneur would have factored in and disarmed such risks, instead of shying away from what might prove to be a lucrative venture. That's why smart entrepreneurs protect their businesses with different forms of insurance covers.

2. No matter what the outcome, risks almost always yield dividend.

Successful risk-takers look at the long-term gains while others consider the losses. Such risk-takers don't measure gains ibkt in monetary terms. For them, "gains" also include valuable lessons learned from failure.

So, whether their risky venture turns out well or not, they win both ways. They either make millions or they learn something that's worth millions.

For example, Zuckerberg knew the risk he was taking when decided to invest in VR. VR was a foreign concept at the time, and basically untried. But the Facebook founder dived in, nonetheless, because he recognized VR's potential.

In other people's view, the investment in Oculus was a failure, but Zuckerberg saw the long-term gains. He was confident that in about five or 10 years VR would "get to where we all want to go." That was his thought about how the VR industry would evolve and he seems to have been right.

Adrian Chan, head of marketing at ImmVRse, a Blockchain-VR platform, told Medium: "When Zuckerberg invested billions into a VR Startup in 2014, very few people believed in the potential of virtual reality. We have recently witnessed multiple milestones being reached in the development of VR, with technology giants swiftly moving into the industry, as Oculus Rift, Samsung VR and HTC Vive were all released last year. Suddenly everyone wants a piece of the pie."

In fact, Forbes recently released a list of five ways VR is making higher profits.

3. Feel the fear but do it anyway.

You may have planned everything or have a backup in place, but for some reason, something still is keeping you from taking action. That force is fear, and it's so strong that you can feel paralyzed.
Related: 7 Risks Every Entrepreneur Must Take
The truth is that daring entrepreneurs feel afraid, too. They also feel doubtful and overwhelmed at times. Therefore, the only thing that sets them apart from others may be that while they feel the fear of the risks they're about to take, that doesn't stop them from taking action anyway.

https://redditblog.com/2015/11/03/apparently-its-possible-to-have-your-car-towed-and-get-a-speeding-ticket-at-the-same-time/

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
On September 6, 2014, an Australian speeding camera caught a silver SUV zooming down the highway, well over the speed limit. The camera captured the license plate, and an automated system delivered a notice-with photographic proof!-to the vehicle's registered owner. Justice served, right?

The only problem was that the SUV was on the back of a tow truck, and the well-intentioned speed camera had no idea.

User snappiness shared this amusing photo with Reddit's Australia community, featuring a copy of the speeding ticket their friend received in the mail:

Earlier that day, the unlucky Australian had been in a "prang"-which is apparently Australian for a low-impact accident in which no one was seriously hurt.

But the real damage came when the driver received an "Infringement Notice" from Australia's Department of Transport, fining the poor Aussie for speeding despite the fact that he wasn't in the car-and his car's wheels weren't even moving at the time.

The Queensland Police have a stock response on their website for questions like, "I am the registered owner of the vehicle, but I wasn't the driver?"-but their FAQ section doesn't cover "What if the robot that operates your speed camera fucks up and cites the wrong vehicle?"

You had one job, camera robot!

This isn't the first incident of its kind.

In January, the Mirror reported that a woman named Sonia Mirambell received a speeding fine in Spain, citing a violation that occurred while her car was being repaired. When Mirambell demanded proof, she received a picture of her vehicle on the back of a tow truck.

(The same thing happened in South Africa as well.)

While these cases of mistaken identity may seem amusing as isolated incidents, some see the errors as evidence of a flawed system for dealing with traffic violations-one that forces ordinary citizens to argue absurd, nonsensical cases in court because of an unchecked machine error.

In an interview with Indianapolis news network WISH-TV, forensic video expert Barnet Fagel explains, "Even the finest cameras are subject to error"-noting that he worked on a case involving a car caught "speeding" on the back of a tow truck.

The problem, he says, lies in not having a real human being check video footage before the fine is delivered. "They're giving you a real ticket, but they don't have a real witness," he complains. "And, you can't argue against the camera, because the camera can't talk."

When Reddit user ReluctantDogPerson reposted snappiness' image for Reddit's Funny community earlier today, redditors were quick to chime in with their own frustrating stories of taking on the traffic courts.

Some were successful, like user mysteresc's dad, who confronted a town clerk with a dramatic one-liner:

Others, however, were less fortunate-like user BrandoGil, who found little room to argue against a $300 ticket:

And user famouslastwords, a Steak and Shake patron bullied into paying a fine by an insidious tow truck driver:

Sometimes, when you're punished by the god of unfair traffic violations, the only thing to do is pay the fine and just keep truckin'.

Food is prepared by a Frenchman and an Italian puts you in the mood and everything is organised by a German. European hell: You are invited to an official lunch. You are welcomed by a Frenchman. Food is prepared by an Englishman, German puts you in the mood but, don't worry, everything is organised by an Italian.
That joke was proposed by a Belgian as the Official European Joke, the joke that every single European pupil should learn at school. The Joke will improve the relationship between the nations as well as promote our self humour and our culture.

The European Council met in order to make a decision. Should the joke be the Official European Joke or not?

The British representative announced, with a very serious face and without moving his jaw, that the joke was absolutely hilarious.

The French one protested because France was depicted in a bad way in the joke. He explained that a joke cannot be funny if it is against France.

Poland also protested because they were not depicted in the joke.

Luxembourg asked who would hold the copyright on the joke. The Swedish representative didn't say a word, but looked at everyone with a twisted smile.

Denmark asked where the explicit sexual reference was. If it is a joke, there should be one, shouldn't there?

Holland didn't get the joke, while Portugal didn't understand what a " joke " was. Was it a new concept?

Spain explained that the joke is funny only if you know that the lunch was at 13h, which is normally breakfast time. Greece complained that they were not aware of that lunch, that they missed an occasion to have some free food, that they were always forgotten. Romania then asked what a " lunch " was.

Lithuania et Latvia complained that their translations were inverted, which is unacceptable even if it happens all the time. Slovenia told them that its own translation was completely forgotten and that they do not make a fuss. Slovakia announced that, unless the joke was about a little duck and a plumber, there was a mistake in their translation. The British representative said that the duck and plumber story seemed very funny too.

Hungary had not finished reading the 120 pages of its own translation yet.

Then, the Belgian representative asked if the Belgian who proposed the joke was a Dutch speaking or a French speaking Belgian. Because, in one case, he would of course support a compatriot but, in the other case, he would have to refuse it, regardless of the quality of the joke.

To close the meeting, the German representative announced that it was nice to have the debate here in Brussels but that, now, they all had to make the train to Strasbourg in order to take a decision. He asked that someone to wake up the Italian, so as not to miss the train, so they can come back to Brussels and announce the decision to the press before the end of the day.

" What decision? " asked the Irish representative.

And they all agreed it was time for some coffee.

The Whole Brain Model was developed by Ned Herrmann. Herrmann created this metaphorical model to illustrate that each person's brain basically has four quadrants when it comes to the process of thinking and learning. Each of these quadrants are characterized by different learning or thinking styles. Depending on which quadrants you engage, your learning and thinking processes can be significantly different.

The four different styles are:

A: Analytical (Upper or Cerebral Left Brain)

B: Practical (Lower or Limbic Left Brain)

C: Relational (Lower or Limbic Right Brain)

D: Experimental (Upper or Cerebral Right Brain)

Combination of Theories

Herrmann's Whole Brain Model combines Roger Sperry's split brain theory and Dr. Paul MacLean's triune brain model.

Sperry's split brain theory

Sperry's split brain theory divides the brain into two hemispheres; right and left. Each hemisphere is specialized for some behaviors and controls different types of thinking. The left brain is believed to be more logical, analytical, and objective. The right brain is said to be more intuitive, creative, emotional, and subjective.

MacLean's Triune brain theory

MacLean's Triune brain theory suggests that humans have three brains; the reptilian brain, the limbic system, and the neo-cortex. Both the limbic and the neo-cortex have two halves, a right and left side.

Reptilian Brain controls the body's vital functions such as heart rate, breathing, body temperature, and balance.

Limbic System is the middle part of the brain, and is concerned with emotions, instincts, feeding, fighting, and fleeing. This system controls the body's autonomic nervous system.

Neocortex controls the higher cognitive functions which distinguish Man from the animals. This is the "thinking cap." It is responsible for functions that are considered uniquely human such as abstract reasoning, aesthetic values, judgment, and language.

Herrmann's Whole Brain Model

Herrmann's combination of theories produces a quadrant model of the brain. This model has two halves of the cerebral system and the two halves of the limbic system.

The quadrants are:

Left Cerebral (upper left)

Left Limbic (lower left)

Right Limbic (lower right)

Right Cerebral (upper right)

Herrmann's theory allows us to differentiate between the left and right brain, as well as the concept of cognitive thinking and emotional response. Our upper brain is believed to control our intellectual process (cerebral thinking), while our lower brain (limbic system) controls our emotional response such as anger, happiness and fear.

Depending on which quadrants you engage, your learning and thinking processes can be very different.

Herrmann characterizes the upper left (A) quadrant with logical, analytical, quantitative and rational thinking, and the lower left (B) quadrant, with the abilities of planning, organizing, focusing on detail, and sequential thinking. The lower right (C) quadrant controls emotions, feelings, interpersonal skills and kinesthetic, while the upper right (D) quadrant is responsible for holistic, imaginative, intuitive, integrative and synthesizing processes.

The indefinite pronouns are:

We use indefinite pronouns to refer to people or things without saying exactly who or what they are. We use pronouns ending in -body or for people, and pronouns ending in -thing for things:

Everybody enjoyed the concert.
I opened the door but there was no one at home.
It was a very clear day. We could see everything.

We use a singular verb after an indefinite pronoun:

Everybody loves Sally.
Everything was ready for the party.

When we refer back to an indefinite pronoun we normally use a plural pronoun:

Everybody enjoyed the concert. They stood up and clapped.
I will tell somebody that dinner is ready. They have been waiting a long time.

We can add -'s to an indefinite pronoun to make a possessive.

They were staying in somebody's house.
Is this anybody's coat?

We use indefinite pronouns with no- as the subject in negative clauses (not pronouns with any.)

Anybody didn't come >> Nobody came.

Nobody came.
Nothing happened.

We use after indefinite pronouns to refer to people or things in addition to the ones we already mentioned.

All the family came, but no one else.
If Michael can't come we'll ask somebody else.
So that's eggs, peas and chips. Do you want anything else?
