Living on the Wind: Across the Hemisphere with Migratory Birds
By Scott Weidensaul
At any given moment, birds are traversing our planet in a far-flung tapestry as they migrate between countries and hemispheres. The arctic tern, for example, migrates more than 40,000 miles annually between the north and south poles. The tiny blackpoll warbler, weighing only as much as two quarters, flies more than 11,000 miles annually, including a nonstop 4,000- to 5,000-mile journey over the Atlantic Ocean. Remarkably, many of these birds return to the same locations each year, often flying at night using the stars for navigation. These and other incredible feats are brilliantly captured in Scott Weidensaul's Living On The Wind — a Pulitzer Prize finalist. Anyone who takes the time to read this book will be amazed and astounded by what billions of migrating birds accomplish each year.
In the face of climate change and widespread degradation of natural ecosystems, most bird species are in decline. This book will not only engage you in one of the most compelling dramas in the natural world, but also provide insight into how we can take action to reduce our impacts and protect bird populations. From creating bird-friendly yards to purchasing shade-grown coffee, we can all do a little something to ensure that our avian friends can be enjoyed by people for all time.
Director of Sustainability John Pumilio first met author Scott Weidensaul in 1993 on Hog Island, Maine, a sanctuary managed by the National Audubon Society. Pumilio said that he's always been interested in birds, but his enthusiasm really took flight in a college general ecology course. His professor sent him to historic Hog Island, where today, Pumilio directs two birding programs during the summer, followed by programs led by Weidensaul.
The Stargazer's Sister
By Carrie Brown
This book began as a disembodied voice speaking to me in the dark. It was June 2000, and Carrie Brown and I were walking after sunset. We'd met when we were both teaching on the faculty of a small women's college in Sweet Briar, Va., but we became friends during those late-night walks around campus, after we'd put the kids to bed, then met halfway between our houses.
In my memory, the air is heavy with heat but also sweet, scented with milkweed. I must have asked Carrie where the ideas for her stories came from. She is telling me about a voice that has been speaking for a while now, low but urgent, inside her head. The voice belongs to a real woman named Caroline Herschel, an astronomer born in Germany in 1750, and Carrie believes that Caroline seems to want her to tell her story (forgive me: I know this sounds squishy, but it is the way writers sometimes talk).
Scarred and stunted in childhood by smallpox, Caroline moved to Bath, England, to run the household of her older brother, the not-yet-famous astronomer and polymath William Herschel. Caroline, too, became a distinguished astronomer, discovering eight comets and winning election to the Royal Astronomical Society. In the middle of her life, she experienced a terrible rupture: pain, betrayal, loss. In her journals and memoirs, the moment is marked by a sudden silence, a lacuna that lasts for years. I won't say what it was for fear of ruining the novel for someone. But Carrie — already an accomplished writer — couldn't wrap her mind around that moment. Was Caroline — known as Lina — forewarned, or did it come out of the blue? What did she say? What did she do? How did she feel?
As the years came and went, Carrie published three more novels. I moved to Hamilton, to take a job at Colgate. The two of us kept walking and talking — by cellphone now. Every few months, the subject of Lina burbled up in our conversation. Then Carrie went back to work on the novel, finding a retired astronomer to help her with the science, re-reading Lina's letters and memoirs, and musing aloud to me about Lina's long silence. What was the silence trying to tell her? I think the breakthrough came when Carrie realized that the terrible rupture must fall not at the end of Caroline's story but somewhere near the middle.
One morning a couple of years ago, when we were talking on the phone, Carrie said, suddenly, that she couldn't wait to get back to her desk that day. "Why?" I was in the midst of a dry spell, so my desk held no charm for me. "I can't wait to find out how my novel ends," she said.
How her novel ends is my favorite part. "I could not have imagined," Lina writes in a letter to a friend, "the strange blank of life after having lived so long within the radiance of genius." More than a century and a half after Lina's death, Carrie Brown fills in that strange blank with a gift so generous and profound, so surprising yet inevitable, it seems to have sprung from the stuff of Lina's own dreams.
Setting aside my long friendship with the author, The Stargazer's Sister is the kind of book I love best. The storytelling is deft and riveting: it catches and holds me till the end. It is full of facts about astronomy that I never could have learned from a textbook. It reminds me of an old lesson I am wont to forget, which is that sometimes silence — the appearance of nothing — is the biggest something. Finally, it lets me walk for a while alongside one particular woman who might otherwise have been nothing more than a minor footnote in the history of science.
Jennifer Brice was too humble to mention that she makes an appearance in The Stargazer's Sister — on the dedication page, where Brown thanks her for helping bring the story to life. Brice is the author of two nonfiction books, The Last Settlers and Unlearning to Fly, as well as numerous essays. An associate professor of English at Colgate, she teaches creative writing workshops as well as the popular Living Writers course offered both on campus (for students) and online (for alumni and parents).
The Confusion (book two of The Baroque Cycle)
By Neal Stephenson
Reading is an essential aspect of my life. It both soothes and stimulates, allows me to step away from the everyday world, and lets me explore multitudinous universes of imagination. The Baroque Cycle series is a lively combination of historical fiction and swashbuckling adventure. It's also a complex and insightful exploration of the beginnings of the Enlightenment, modern science, and the politics of Europe and the Americas.
The characters are drawn with wit and style and with a sharp eye for the perverse. Meet Half-Cocked Jack Shaftoe, called "King of the Vagabonds," and Eliza, a grown child-slave with a vicious head for money, natural philosophy, and politics. Also, Sir Isaac Newton, Dr. Wilhelm von Leibniz, and King Louis XIV all have parts to play in this vast, dramatic re-creation of Europe during the Baroque era. The book explores the invention of calculus, theories of gravity, piracy, slavery, alchemy, political machinations, magical gold, and vivisection. There are pirate queens, crocodile battles, and plenty of explosions. Neal Stephenson is an epic storyteller — I would recommend his books to anyone craving a good yarn that will make you think.

The More of Less: Finding the Life You Want Under Everything You Own
By Joshua Becker
What do I do with all my extra stuff? Ever since my first utterly failed attempts to follow advice from Marie Kondo (author of The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up) for living a clutter-free life, I have been intrigued by the idea that some kind of liberation might be found by owning fewer possessions. Of course, the idea of detachment from material things is a fundamental moral concern for many of the world's religions, but so often it is framed as self-denial or penance. A new wave of writers, bloggers, and podcasters is challenging the notion that living simply is a punishment. In fact, they'll argue, leading a life with few possessions has the power to liberate a person for better relationships, better health, a clearer sense of purpose, and a greater opportunity to live generously with his or her community.
As I've strategized about making some big changes in my own life, I have grown fond of some of these writers — most recently, Joshua Becker of becomingminimalist.com. Becker is a Christian pastor whose family of four has embarked on a path toward living as simply and purposefully as possible. His most recent book, The More of Less, is both a manifesto and a how-to manual for simplifying one's life and finding greater freedom and purpose. Becker believes that we find our deepest joy and fulfillment in serving others, and that our possessions frequently get in the way of that joy.
As a person with some stuffed storage closets, I've accepted Becker's book as both a promise and a challenge. What if I really got rid of all the clutter?
Mark Shiner, university chaplain and campus Catholic minister, said he's been "thinking a lot about the role of silence, simplicity, and solidarity in a well-lived life" — as reflected in his current reading habits.
Lovers at the Chameleon Club, Paris 1932
By Francine Prose
My mother is a voracious fiction reader, so once or twice a year, she sends me a mystery box of books, filled with those that she particularly enjoyed and those that she found challenging. Francine Prose's novel Lovers at the Chameleon Club, Paris 1932 fell into both categories at once.
Inspired by Brassai's black-and-white photograph Lesbian Couple at Le Monocle, 1932, Lovers at the Chameleon Club centers around Lou Villars, a lesbian racecar driver in 1920s Paris. After Lou's license is revoked by the government for dressing as a man in public, she goes on to perform as a French sailor in a revue at the semi-underground Chameleon Club. Then, through an old acquaintance from the racing scene, she is invited to the 1936 Berlin Olympics, where she begins working for the Nazi party as a spy and collaborator.
As someone who studies popular entertainment in the 1920s with an eye toward the performance of gender, I was captivated by the story's vivid portrayal of the ways in which Lou and her fellow performers negotiate gender on stage at the Chameleon Club. Additionally, I was interested in how Lou's friend Gabor — a Hungarian photographer modeled on Brassai — represents and, more often, constructs identity in his images. Lovers at the Chameleon Club also offers a sweeping vision of the political atmosphere of the era, recounted by a crowded cast of narrators: Gabor, his friend Lionel Maine (modeled on Henry Miller), the aging singer who owns the Chameleon Club, a savvy patroness of the arts married to a gay man who owns a luxury car company, and a woman who is (retrospectively) writing a biography of Lou Villars. The one voice that Prose doesn't offer us is Lou's own, and as a result we're left to piece together who our protagonist actually was, who she becomes, and how a character can be deeply compelling even as she commits atrocities.

Perfectly Imperfect: A Life in Progress
By Lee McConaughy Woodruff '82
From the outside, it seems like Lee Woodruff — who is a writer and frequent contributor to national TV shows and magazines — is "perfect" and lives the "perfect" life, but she is like everyone else in the world. In this New York Times bestseller, Lee encourages us to, in fact, embrace our imperfections because that is what makes us unique and often brings out love, happiness, and fun.
I had been wanting to read this book for a while, so I bought it at the Colgate Bookstore (I love bookstores!). Lee makes her life stories so relatable, and there is so much wisdom in every chapter that I can relate to in my daily life. I also love Lee's writing style. Her storytelling is awesome: in one story, I will laugh one second and cry the next.
After reading this book, I came away inspired, and I recommend it because I think everyone should experience that. It's about enjoying life to its fullest, whether you're going through something tragic or running errands. For example, on coping with tragedy, Lee writes: "Swimming surrounds me in the velvet wet of a bluish green world where I can dive deep down and sob with no trace."
I have had the opportunity to come to know Lee, and she has a way of making you feel so special and loved. This book does the same thing.

The Tale of Briar Bank (The Cottage Tales of Beatrix Potter, #5)
By Susan Wittig Albert
I love mystery books and am eager to learn of interesting authors. A series based on Beatrix Potter appealed to me because The Tale of Peter Rabbit, The Tale of Mrs. Tiggy-Winkle, and other works by her were a familiar part of my childhood. Nostalgia plus mystery equals an enjoyable read.
The series narrative incorporates real details from Potter's life after her purchase of Hill Top Farm in the English Lake District. In the series, this action, and her independence in general, is met with considerable disapproval by her parents, who live in London. A biography of Potter can provide a more thorough understanding of her experiences, but the series' storylines incorporate aspects of how she pursued her career and independent land ownership. She finds happiness despite these obstacles and helps others solve their problems in creative and dignified ways. Those aspects of the stories resonate with me.
A hallmark of the series is that it incorporates the viewpoints of the animals, who often observe more than the Big Folk. In The Tale of Briar Bank, their stories are key because Bailey Badger, Pickles the fox terrier, and another creature (no spoilers!) are the only witnesses to the accidental death of Mr. Hugh Wickstead, the owner of Briar Bank Cottage. The omniscient narrator guides the reader from one story to another, hearing about Bailey Badger's narrow escape from a frozen lake and Pickles's valiant effort to help his companion Mr. Wickstead. Although Potter is not privy to these stories, she often intuits what the animals around her are trying to communicate. Using logic and keen powers of observation, she always solves the mystery by the end of the book.
These books are great, year-round reads, suitable for chilly evenings indoors or warm days on the porch, because the narrative captivates the imagination. The incorporation of factual events from Potter's life may appeal to literary and historical-minded readers, and fans (of many ages) of Potter's works will enjoy the series as well.

One of the first posts and series I created on my fledgling techchef4u blog was "Hot Apps 4 HOTS". The series was assembled to highlight free apps that could be used in multiple content areas and grade levels to support Bloom's Taxonomy. (Kathy Schrock classifies iCardSort as a tool for supporting "analysis" in her Bloomin' iPad chart.)
As the "HOT Apps 4 HOTS" series was created as a resource for our district technology camp in June (and will now be offered at TCEA 2012), the original post was a supplement to the course and came fully loaded with screen-shots and suggestions for use as well as a full Math Vocabulary Lesson (e.g. teacher handout, student handout, sample Excel grid, and extension activities) utilizing the app. (Download the Math Vocabulary deck!)
After I posted the original series to my social networks (LinkedIn and Twitter), I received a message from Julio Barros, the iCardSort app developer, he said he loved the lesson and was in the process of building a site to compile the card lessons and decks that educators created.
Flash-forward three months…
… and not only does the the new version of iCardSort Lite (iCardSort) allow access to a public repository of decks people can share but also allows for users to acquire decks from more specific websites / wikis.
As if that wasn't app-erific enough, E-string has just sent out a fantastic newsletter which includes the original techchef4u HOTS Math Vocabulary lesson and some app-tastic Vimeo videos that highlight how to use iCardSort and how the app can be used in a literature circle.

Stay tuned for upcoming "appy hours 4 you" episode which will feature iCardSort with other apps that can be used for brainstorming and mind-mapping!

Coming soon from Mattel Join our newsletter to get more stories like thisRobert Zemeckis's live action Toy Story effect is sound. However, in Welcome to Marwen it raises disturbing questions when Steve Carell plays with them. Mark Hogancamp (Carell) takes pictures of action figures acting out World War II fantasies. This is true. The real Hogancamp's art that helped him cope with a traumatic head injury was documented in the film Marwencol.Boy with toysWhat's made up in the Hollywood version are the specific stories he tells about Cap'n Hogie and the women warriors of Marwen. Hollywood's Mark Hogancamp sure imagines his fantasy women getting raped a lot. Or rather, he imagines himself saving women from rape a lot. He rescues Elsa (Siobhan Williams) from a Nazi "sausage party" (because isn't that cute?), and later Roberta (Merritt Wever) gets her blouse ripped open so the nipple-less breasts of the doll are exposed. Her top is still ripped open the next time we cut back to Marwen.The real Roberta (Merritt Wever) probably wouldn't approve of her storyline in Marwen.So Hollywood's Mark Hogancamp wants to be the protector of defiled women. First of all, this is a dangerous savior myth. Second of all, he's creating the story in which they are raped. Third, this is Hollywood's idea of empowering a real life survivor. The real Mark Hogancamp did include a catfight bar, which is fetishizing woman on woman violence, but he gets a pass. Robert Zemeckis choosing to change it to rape is troubling.Mark Hogancamp (Steve Carell) meets his new neighbor Nicol (Leslie Mann)The women in Mark's real life don't fare much better. Nicol (Leslie Mann) moves in next door and Mark begins obsessing over her and making a Marwen doll for her. When introduced to Mark, Nicol thinks it's sweet that he added her to his Nazi fantasy. No, Nicol. Get out!By the way, the Col in Marwencol actually stood for Colleen. Not only was Nicol not part of the true story, but to make her fit they had to misspell Nicole.Cap'n Hogie and the women of MarwenThe real Colleen was happily married, so Mark accepted her friendship, so her inclusion in Marwen was harmless. Nicol is single with an abusive stalker ex, presented as a dangling carrot for Mark and I mean that in all the senses the movie underserves its female characters.Then Mark watches a VHS porno that they made exclusively for Welcome to Marwen. Leslie Zemeckis (Robert's wife) plays the porn star! Nothing against porn stars. Many of them are empowered, but I don't think they'd approve of being portrayed as a cheesy vehicle for Mark's increasingly confusing fantasies.Not pictured: The bigass guns these ladies are packing.The fantasies of Marwen are pretty violent. I could maybe see that Mark would use violence to cope with the violence he suffered, but Welcome to Marwen is more tonally confused than Small Soldiers, but without that film's pure commercialism. This is vying for awards.There's a lot of violent gunfights, still bloody with animated dolls, plus extra kill shots. One nazi gets split in half, another impaled. Sure, they're Nazis, but what are you actually saying with these fantasy sequences?Steve Carell walks the walk the real Mark Hogancamp walkedAre they childlike? Are they graphically traumatic? Perhaps they could be both (kids do play rough), but I'm not convinced Welcome to Marwen even understands why Mark is having these fantasies. I think they just saw the doc and thought, "Hey, we could also animate them!"Mark's were bloody too, but the documentary eased into the gory aftermaths of his stories. Welcome to Marwen leads with blood and compounded with the sexual violence, just seems to relish in it.Deja Thoris (Diane Kruger) comes out of Marwen to talk to Mark (Steve Carell)I get that Cap'n Hogie is the hero who overcomes what the "real" Mark can't face. He's not really, though. He relies on his sexed up fantasy women with machine guns, and a demon named Deja Thoris (Diane Kruger) is the forced metaphor for him to overcome. Deja was in the documentary too but very minimally. The screenwriters really latched onto her to make an antagonist for the fantasy.Cap'n Hogie (Steve Carell) makes a plan with GI Julie (Janelle Monáe), Carlala (Eiza Gonzalez) and Anna (Gwendoline Christie)There is even a Back to the Future reference that rubbed me the wrong way. Zemeckis has been so adamant that there would never be a Back to the Future IV, but using it as a toy in his Oscar bait movie feels like more of a sellout than the De Lorean in Ready Player One.Welcome to Marwen is one of the worst movies of the year. To use such professional resources to promote such dangerous messages is just appalling. Welcome to Marwen opens Friday, December 21. Join our newsletter to get more stories like this

- Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross tried to downplay the implications of President Donald Trump's decision to impose steel and aluminium tariffs on the European Union, Canada, and Mexico.
- Ross said the tariffs were "blips on the radar screen" in the relationship between the US and EU, saying the EU "will get over this in due course."
- Ross dismissed concerns that the tariffs would increase costs for US consumers and harm the economy.
- He also said that despite the US stock market sell-off following the announcement, stocks would "adjust to facts" and bounce back.
One of President Donald Trump's top economic advisers on Thursday downplayed the fraying US relationship with the European Union amid Trump's latest trade escalation.
"These are blips on the radar screen. I don't think they change the fundamentals of the relationship," Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross said on CNBC. "Everybody has spats every now and again, every family does, every country does with others, there's nothing weird about that. I think everybody will get over this in due course."
The US said Thursday that the EU would be subject to steel and aluminium tariffs beginning Friday after negotiations to extend exemptions failed to gain traction.
European leaders have also criticised Trump's decision to pull out of the Iran nuclear agreement earlier in May and expressed disappointment when Trump pulled the US out of the Paris climate agreement in 2017.
During the CNBC appearance, Ross also sought to downplay the economic and market downsides of the tariffs. US businesses that rely on imported metals warned that the tariffs will pressure their costs and force price increases, but Ross said consumers would only see a "trivial increase" in what they pay for goods.
"The beer, soft drink and soup cans, it's all a fraction of a penny on each of those," Ross said. "In terms of an automobile, it's also a fraction of one per cent. And for the economy overall, it's a very small fraction of 1%."
Ross also dismissed concerns regarding the EU's threat to impose tariffs on a little over $US3 billion worth of US goods, including motorcycles and blue jeans.
"Well, you'd obviously have to talk to the EU, but think about how small in number $US3 billion of product is relative to our $US18 trillion economy, It's a tiny, tiny fraction of 1%."
US stock markets sank after the tariff announcement, but Ross tried to brush off the decrease by pinning some blame on a weaker than expected print for US new home sales.
"One-hundred and seventy points is not very cataclysmic in any event," Ross said. "Naturally the market, to the degree it was surprised, it will have to adjust to that but markets adjust to facts."
Following Ross's comments, the Dow Jones industrial average fell further and was down 230 points, or 0.95%, as of 11:10 am ET.

This board is ldeal for the beginner in Antigua and more experieced riders will enjoy it's manouveraility too. It is super practical to pack away and get to Antigua with! If you would like to learn more then head over to Style Reviews. At this time shipping is for the UK and Europe only.
Stand out from the crowd all inclusive! Better than a bubba these travel mugs can keep hot things hot and cool things cool. With a design that speaks Caribbean how can you resist taking one on your next vacation?
These leggings are premiuim and designed for those who love our island nation. Antigua XOXO hugs and embraces you while you get on with your day in total comfort. Made in the USA from highest quality materials these leggings or yoga pants will be with you a while.
Historically Antigua was heavily involved in the sugar trade. A product of molassas Rum was found to be in demand. We designed the rum state Tee to show the world our dual love for Rum and Antigua!
We have a few adapters that will allow you to plug in use and charge your devices while in Antigua. Please read our article on Electrical Sockets Antigua.
Don't miss the trick this year, get a pair of these for your all inclusive resort pool bar! Also while your at it consider a Bubba too to save on waste and plastic in the ocean.
They were all stable as you can see in the video but the palm tree is the top from a stability perspective.
It is a very handy way to safeguard your personal belongings from getting lost and ruined by salt or freshwater. These are not just useful for sailers.If you kayaking for example a backup in case you might be thinking of tipping over. It just makes the whole experience on water better.
This Berlitz guide is one of the better if not the newer guides on Antigua. It seems Best Antigua is doing a good job with up to date info but these books are good for inspiring and driving your interest in Antigua and Barbuda.

The bittersweet ignorance Juicy J has been blessing us with lately has only sparked our interest for the sequel to his Rubba Band Business 2 mixtape series with Trap-A-Holics. The project starts off where the first part left off - drug induced ignorance. What else do you expect from a mixtape with songs such as "Pills, Weed & Pussy" and "So Damn Fucked Up"?

Goodbye to Patagonia
Photos (c) Justin Walley & morethanagame.info 2011
El Calafate airport somehow escapes the worst of the winter storm that left my bus stranded on a mountain pass the previous night for 8 hours. It is time to leave the remoteness of Patagonia behind. I will certainly never forget my time here...
Stranded on a mountain top
Photos (c) Justin Walley & morethanagame.info 2011
As the weather began to set in on our journey back from the Fitz Roy mountains, you just knew that we were going to struggle to get home. An hour into the journey, the bus came off the road and left us stranded on a mountain top with no emergency phone coverage and very soon no heating or power. The snow kept falling and it was 8 hours later before we were rescued, cold, tired but very relieved. We eventually got back at 5am.
Congratulations Rupert!!
A personal congratulations to my good friend, Rupert, who has just announced he is getting married to his lady, Baiba. Congratulations to you both!
Please enjoy these photos of 'Bar De Ruperto', in Puerto Natales, Chile.
PS I tried to get a pint to toast your news but they were closed :))
Patagonian wheels
A place important to all of us

This icefield is believed to be the world's third largest reserve of fresh water. The ice is 170 metres deep in places.
Chaos and perfection
Same, same, but different
'Same, same, but different' is an expression popular in Asia.
Travelling on the Chilean steppe, I was amazed by the remarkable similarity to the steppe and mountains of Central Asia's Kyrgyzstan. There were the same macho cowboys riding horseback as you see in southern Kyrgyzstan, but there were also Guanacos - a camel-like creature that you can only find in South America. So many similarities, but only a handful of differences.
Two locations literally worlds apart. Same, same, but different:

Bumped into the Bear again, for the second time in 3 days, this time inside one of the largest caves in South America, close to Torres del Paine. For anybody that has ever seen the film 'The Fountain' - one of my favourite films - there was also this tree that put me in mind of the tree of life, which is central to the plot of one of the most original films ever made. Hard to quite get across how a tree in a cave could have something bizarre and almost spiritual about it, but if you have seen 'The Fountain' you will understand my idea.
And if you haven't, choose a quite November evening alone, to enjoy this wonderful film.

This interesting article describes the transition that Emma Slade experienced from being a globe trotting banker, to a nun living in the kingdom of Bhutan. Having experienced a traumatic event and subsequently going through post-traumatic stress disorder, the event became a catalyst for profound transformation. She mentions:
I do think that incident propelled me to a different part, otherwise I would have carried on as a hugely successfully, articulate, well-dressed banker… once you think you are going to die you do start to live your life in a different way.

Rahul Patel secures an admission with MILA Lab, University of Montreal
Rahul Patel (Student of ICT 2012-2016) has secured an admission to the Masters (Research) in Applied Mathematics program at Polytechnique Montreal, University of Montreal. As a part of it, he will be working with MILA lab - a prominent lab working in the area of Deep Learning - under the supervision of Prof. Andrea Lodi and Prof. Yoshua Bengio.
Montreal Institute for Learning Algorithms (MILA), affiliated with University of Montreal, Canada, is one of the prominent labs working in the area of Deep Learning. Yoshua Bengio founded the lab which became the MILA with an ambition to understand the principles of learning that yield intelligence. His research is widely cited (over 36000 citations and an H-index of 76).
Researchers from MILA have pioneered the field of deep learning and deep neural networks (both discriminative and generative) and their applications to vision, speech and language. MILA is world-renowned for many breakthroughs in developing novel deep learning algorithms and applying them to various domains. They include neural language modelling, neural machine translation, object recognition, structured output generative modelling and neural speech recognition.
Many of the innovations that have led to the recent surge of popularity and success in deep learning were invented or co-invented at this lab. Some of those innovations include, but are not limited to, major contributions to layer-wise unsupervised pre-training, deep supervised rectifier networks, generative neural networks, theory and advances in recurrent neural networks, automatic hyper parameter tuning, neural machine translation and theoretical analysis of deep neural networks.

Commercial Conceptual Imagery for The Rabbit Hole Tea Bar in Sydney, Australia.
Created for print and digital advertising, and composed specifically for use as website banner imagery.
The objective of this project was to lift Rabbit Hole Tea into a new realm and to present it as a comparable emotive and status choice to coffee: slick, crisp and cool. I crafted this particular image series with the intention of showcasing the quality and appeal of their raw ingredients, while forming strong ties to the aesthetics of their retail spaces, which features the reoccurring theme of broken ceramics and the Japanese practice of Kintsugi.
These images feature The Rabbit Hole Tea blends of White Delight – an organic White Tea blended with freeze dried raspberries, organic cacao nibs and organic coconut; and Green Power – an organic Green Tea blended with organic rice.

Pasadena Pest Control
Pasadena Pest Control
How do you know when you need Pasadena Pest Control? The truth is there are several warning signs to be on the look out for. Any of these signs and you should call a pest control company to inspect your home or office.
The pests themselves, lets start with the most obvious example of warning signs to look for, if you see a rat or a mouse or a cockroach running across your floor there is a very good chance you need Pasadena pest control services. The simple reality is seeing a rat or mouse usually means you have a lot more rats and mice you can't see. This is true with not only rats and mice but all of the other pests you could call us for. The general rule is if you see one you are not seeing a lot more.
Next is nests and droppings. As gross as it is to think about. When it comes to pests in your home they don't just stop by, they make themselves at home and that means nests. When you see nests or droppings you know you have a pet problem.
The next thing to be on the look out for is sounds in the walls. Pests are not silent as a general rule. If you hear noises in your walls that sound like scratching or scraping, especially at night then you might want to talk to a Pasadena Pest Control company. The final thing to be on the look out for is chewing or damage marks to your home. These pests are not just looking for a place to live they are looking for food, and the wood and wiring of your home will make a good snack.
If you find pest control issues and you are in the Pasadena California area give Pasadena Best Pest Control a call. We will come to your home or office and let you know what is going on.
Give us a call right now.

Group Class
When you join any of our Spanish Language Groups or Tutoring Classes you've already broadened your horizon. You'll meet and become connected with others who share with you at least one thing for sure: a passionate desire to learn and communicate in another language. Which is kinda of a big deal you know, as language opens the door to people and cultures and introduces you to perspectives you'd not otherwise have had access. Language does, does, does, expand and enrich your life.
If desire is your first step, commitment is your second. In fact, commitment is the foundation for everything to come. It'll be where you go for energy, for strength, for patience (with yourself) – it will sustain you through the invariable ups and downs of this magnificent endeavor. But that's not to say that you'll not have fun along the way.
I always tell my students; "There are no shortcuts to learning Spanish. It requires the same thing any other goal you've taken on; practice, practice and more practice."
And so practice we will, but not about silly stuff you'd loathe to say to a native speaker. We'll learn to express ourselves authentically and on topics we find relevant. And you know what happens when you emotionally engage? You get invested, you see the possibilities, you learn faster and you hunger for more!
And the satisfaction you'll feel as you become able to communicate that something YOU want to express; well it's like getting to be who you are – only expanded. What's better than that?
The focus at Rojas Spanish Language then, is to attain the ability to communicate with a significant portion of this beautiful planet we share. And although grammar is what holds a sentence together and gives us the ability to be precise, it will not be the boss of class – what you want to say, will be!
If you've learned English and can speak it fluently – you've got the ability to learn another language. It doesn't take a certain age, or IQ, or talent – it takes desire and commitment. And if you don't take yourself too seriously and like to have fun while you're 'working out', you've come to the right place; I welcome you to Rojas Spanish Language.

This is just a little "what if?" AU fic - well, more of a fic summary really - I put together for my own amusement to go with the Deep Crimson Butterfly OST. Some of the tracks seemed to make the frame of a story in my head, so in the end I just went with it.
When she's 17, Mio Amakura attends the Shadow Festival at the Kureha Shrine (#1, Shadow Festival), near the village where she spent her early childhood. She hasn't lived in the region for a long time, but in a few months most of the valley will be inundated by a dam being built nearby. This is Mio's last chance to see the places where she played as a child, and during the Shadow Festival, she hopes to say a final goodbye to her father, who disappeared in the forest when she was very young, and her sister Mayu, who fell from a cliff while they were playing in the woods and died.
Soon the festival will reach its climax as hundreds of lanterns are released into the sky, but Mio wanders away from the crowd and into the woods (#2, Lights between the Trees). As the sounds of music and chatter fade behind her, she senses something calling to her from deeper in the forest (#3, Trance). Before long she has left the festival far behind, but she doesn't realise it: ahead of her, in the distance, she can make out the glow of fire, and someone is chanting a slow, sad song (#4, Lost Path).
Thinking she has circled back to the festival once more, she follows the path and comes out in an unfamiliar place (#5, Misono Hill), a hill overlooking a cluster of houses that she doesn't recognise. Apart from the braziers burning on the hilltop, the place looks ancient and derelict, but the path she followed to get here has disappeared, so she has no choice but to go down into the village (#6, Deserted Streets).
Mio wanders from house to house, but everywhere is empty. She's about to turn back when she sees a figure disappearing into one of the dilapidated buildings. For reasons she can't explain, he makes her think of her father, whom she only knows from photographs. She follows, but immediately senses something wrong in this house (#7, Distortion). The air is stale and heavy, and there's the sense of a powerful and sinister presence.
As it turns out, that sense was not in the least exaggerated. Mio is pursued through the house by a series of hostile spirits (#8, Ayako; #9, Blind Demon; #10, Broken Neck; #11, Hospital Patient). Mio tries to make her way back to the exit, but panic and disorientation set in (#12, Iron Heart); she loses her way, and the ghosts close in around her (#13, Taboo).
But the end never comes. Mio opens her eyes to find herself back on the street, all alone (#14, Open Air) before a grand gateway. Was it just a hallucination? Did she imagine everything, including her father's spirit? Or did he help her somehow, at the last minute?
Whatever the truth may be, she decides to trust in whatever force brought her to these gates, and goes through (#15, Whisper Bridge). She finds herself in a much grander house than any of the others. The quiet in this house is almost as unsettling as the overwhelming malice in the last one; as she explores (#16, Bloody Handprints; #17, Empty Rooms; #18, Footsteps in the Hall; #19, Flickering Room; #20, Grand Hall) she sees no one, and yet she never feels completely alone (#21, Sixth Sense).
Nothing attacks her, though, and in this house she manages to find out a little about the history of the village, and a possible way out. Armed with knowledge, she makes her way out (#22, Descend; #23 Cellar) and begins to explore the village with a new purpose (#24, Tachibana House; #25, Heaven and Earth). Once again she hears the sad song that led her to this place (#25, Distant Song), but it's far and faint, and she can't tell where it's coming from.
The documents in the grand house spoke of the family crests of the village priests (#26, Family Crest), and Mio collects them one by one. Her explorations disturb the spirits of the village streets, and in the cemetery (#27, Cemetery) she's ambushed by the ghosts of three children (#28, Children Playing Tag) playing a local variation of the game of demon tag that Mio vaguely remembers from her own childhood in this area. She evades the children and escapes to a candelit chamber in the bole of a hollow tree (#29, Old Tree), where hundreds of crimson pinwheels turn in the wind.
She uses the family crests in the mechanism, and goes to the shrine at the top of the hill (#30, Kureha Shrine), thinking her escape is near at hand. Another spirit attacks her there (#31, High Priest), speaking cryptically about the pain of the Remaining, but the door at the back of the shrine is open, and Mio escapes.
Behind the door she finds a staircase leading down under the earth, and a tunnel stretching into the dark. She follows the path as well as she can, but the web of passages is complex and labyrinthine, and rather than emerging into the forest, she finds herself in a great cavern. Moonlight shines down through a natural chimney in the rocky ceiling, and far at the back of the cave a few braziers burn, but her eyes are drawn by the darkness in the centre of it all. It could be an old mineshaft, its shape is so regular, but somehow she knows it's nothing any human created. It both repels and draws her, and from within, she can almost hear voices (#32, Abyss).
She approaches the pit, reluctant to get any closer but unable to resist its call. There's a flat slab of stone placed before the abyss as if intentionally, like an altar, and as she passes it she senses someone behind her (#33, The Bird in the Cage). She turns in alarm, and the girl staring back at her is like a mirror image of herself. It's impossible, but Mio recognises Mayu, the sister who died more than ten years ago. She should be just a child, but perhaps twins are different; perhaps Mayu never completely let go of life, because she never let go of Mio.
I've been waiting so long, Mayu says (#34, In a Dark Place). You won't leave me now, will you?
From all around, Mio hears the song of the priests, the sorrowful chant that drew her to the lost village in the first place. She is backed up against the stone altar, with nowhere to go. Mayu stretches out her hands.

By now we should have learned to expect the unexpected from YouTube, with well-known videos such as 'Charlie Bit My Finger' and 'Potter Puppet Pals' earning more than millions of views. But even the kooky Neil Ciceriga is dwarfed in weirdness by the 'Salad Fingers' video, which is a thoroughly disturbing experience.
The 'Salad Fingers' video tells the story of the flash animated character by the same name. His obsession in life? Rusty spoons. Oh yes, and the occasional kettle.
Those of you that have seen 'Twin Peaks' may just be able to fathom how such a simple two minute video can give you nightmares. The 'Salad Fingers' video here shows episode one: a relatively tame expedition into the world of Salad Fingers. Those of you made of stronger stuff may want to venture further into his world with later episodes.

March 6 – April 5, 2017
10am to 6pm, Mon-Sat
Galeri Prima
Balai Berita, 31 Jalan Riong, Bangsar
59100 Kuala Lumpur
Curate Henry Butcher and Galeri Prima co-organise PARADOX, a solo exhibition by the talented multi-disciplinary artist Suhaidi Razi at Galeri Prima, Balai Berita Bangsar, from March 6 – April 5, 2017. The beautifully installed exhibition offers an important and comprehensive view of Suhaidi Razi's rarely seen recent work from 2014 – 2017, providing collectors and art lovers with the opportunity to see this complex and deeply moving body of work. The exhibition comprises 30 works including paintings, sculptures, and mixed media, which presented together a critical reflection on the sign of our times, on both societal and human challenges.
Paradox dwells in the mind of Suhaidi Razi where he unfolds solace and misery, joy and pain, deeds and dreams in a journey called life. Layers of life are built upon conflicting issues spread on canvas of impossibilities. Though life is short, the journey is long, and the path is paved with paradox.
Through the use of symbolism and arbitrary associations among objects, the paintings in this exhibition reveal psychological complexity and internal contradictions. The latest painting titled Afternoon In The Kitchen (2017) is deeply inspired by traditional still life genre of the 17th century. The composition shows a pair of roosters in the midst of battle contrasted by soft organic forms in the background, illustrating the artist's continued experimentation and ongoing refinement in technique.
Most appealing, among the most recent series of work consists of several notebook sketches in mix media, offering a diaristic and intimate approach in presentation. The imagery of nature runs through much of his latest work, different species of birds rendered in monochromatic colours juxtaposed in hand written texts create an ever-present sense of mystery. In the process, different ideas clash with one another and could be viewed as a poignant study on the transience and fragility of human life.
Among the outstanding works in the show are the celebrated metal sculptures of horses and imaginative hybrids of clawed feet and mollusk. Beyond the elegant rusted metal fragments, each sculpture pays homage to the labour and culture of farming communities. The themes of hope in the future, power and mobility are intrinsic to the artist's most memorable horse sculptures.
The exhibition runs from March 6 to April 5, opens daily from 10 am to 6 pm (Sundays by appointment only). For more information, contact 016-273 3628.

Best of
the Twin Cities
One of the first things you might notice upon entering Brunson's Pub is the signed thank-you from the local squirt hockey team. Or the 20-seat bar that stretches from one end of this Payne-Phalen pub to the other. Or the vintage Hamm's memorabilia, a nod to the brewery that once thrummed along on St. Paul's East Side. Or maybe the smiling patrons, the friendly servers, or the scratch-made food on the tables—from $1 seasoned pretzels to handsome bar burgers. Whatever you pick up on initially, you'll feel an easy comfort, and you'll swear this joint's been a neighborhood institution since before you were born. But it's a relative newcomer—opened by longtime local barman Thomas LaFleche and his wife, Molly, in 2017—and a very welcome addition to Payne Avenue.

The situation in Kerala is improving and the rescue operations are almost complete, with efforts now moving towards relief and rehabilitation, a senior Navy officer said on Monday.
Floods triggered by heavy monsoon rains have claimed 210 lives in Kerala since August 8 and displaced over 7.14 lakh people from their homes.
"As far as the Navy is concerned, we have stepped up our efforts specifically in the last four-five days and today, as you know, the effort is moving more towards providing relief and subsequently towards rehabilitation," Vice Admiral Girish Luthra Flag Officer Commanding-in-Chief (FOC-in-C) of the Western Naval Command (WNC) told reporters.
"The initial part of rescue has been more or less completed, although a few people may be trapped in different areas. We will be reaching to them and making sure that they are also taken to safe locations," he said.
Vice Admiral Luthra said the rescue operations in Kerala started about two weeks ago and were gradually stepped up as the rains intensified.
"The entire effort is being coordinated from Delhi. As far as the defence forces are concerned, it is coordinated by the Defence Crisis Management Group and at the national level too it is (being) coordinated by the National Crisis Management Group," he said.
He said the situation was expected to come under control soon with the support from all agencies, the central and state governments and a large number of NGOs and individuals.
Vice Admiral Luthra was here to attend the ceremony for affiliation of Jammu and Kashmir Light Infantry (JAKLI) regiment with INS Kochi and 51 Squadron Air Force.
The ceremony was held at the JAKLI Regimental Centre at Rangreth, on the outskirts of Srinagar.
"It is a very historic day. Today, a frontline ship of the Indian Navy -- INS Kochi -- has been affiliated with JAKLI. It is for the first time that we are doing this affiliation between the naval unit and an Army regiment outside a naval base," the FOC-in-C said.
"We will have personnel from JALKI visiting our ships and also sailing our ships and similarly, our personnel from INS Kochi will visit their various locations, including off-locations, and learn about the functioning of various battalions of JAKLI, he added.
"This will promote better understanding and better synergy between our two services," he said.
Speaking on the occasion, Chief of Integrated Defence Staff to the Chairman Chiefs of Staff Committee (CISC) Lt Gen Satish Dua said thousands of Jammu and Kashmir youths turning up at Army recruitment rallies showed that not all felt alienated.
He said, "It is true that we have some of our children who are misguided, who are on the wrong path and we hope that they will get back into the mainstream soon. But there is also another face of the youth of J-K. If everybody is so alienated, then why do we have youths coming out in such huge numbers for recruitment rallies of the Army?"
Lt Gen Dua said there had been an "improvement" in the situation in the state this summer, with terrorist encounters, stone-pelting under control compared to the previous years.

PCT Article on Timebanking
Primary Care Today (PCT) article about timebanking stating "Time banks based in GP practices are bridging the gap between social prescribing and primary care services, and revolutionising healthcare".
Focusing on time banks in GP practices, both CEO Sarah Bird and Trustee Claire Tomkinson are quoted in the article. It states that timebanking can help lower the number of GP visits by removing the kind of visits that do not require medical attention. This is done by promoting a self-care agenda and helping people see what can do for themselves. This can help decrease visits due to health conditions that have been brought on by loneliness and isolation.
"When people know they've got a support network around them, they feel like they're more able to stay at home. Because that's what it's all about: staying at home for as long as possible." Sarah Bird, CEO Timebanking UK.

International Futures Help System
Another feature of IFs is the Computations button. Computations allow users to create a formula of variables which correlate historic data with forecasted data, format data for uniform analysis, or provide for interesting combinations of variables that are not directly available in IFs.
To access Computations, open Self-Managed Display (Complete Flexibility) under Display to reach the Full Variable/Parameter Selection screen.
Click on the Computations button at the bottom of the page. A new screen will appear as displayed above. In the box, type in a formula you would like IFs to calculate. For an example, let us determine the number of literate people within a country. As variables in the model we have the percent of literate people (LIT) in each country and the absolute number of people (POP) in each country, so we simply need to multiply the percentage of literate people with the total population and divide by 100. Our formula will be a*b/100 (the use of "a" and "b" are arbitrary and other letters can be used). Use standard symbols in order to distinguish different mathematical functions. Use * for multiplication, / for division, + for addition, - for subtraction, () to group terms etc. After typing in this formula, click Enter. This will bring up the next screen. From there, you can accomplish the following:
Formula Name, Dimensions Name, and Units Name: These three naming options are available but only the Formula Name is required. The Dimensions Name could be used to describe, for example, the geographic bounds of your formula. The Units Name could be used to describe the units being displayed in your formula (e.g. thousands of US$).
After you have typed in the names you prefer (e.g. lit ppl), click Enter or hit the Ok button. This will bring you back to the Type your formula page but with a small table added at the bottom. The variables you used in your formula will be displayed in this table.
Now, click on Select Vars. You will return to the Full Variable/Parameter Selection page where you will select a variable. For our example, we have two variables. For the first variable, we would like to select the LIT. After you have selected the LIT variable, you will be asked to choose a geographic location. For our example, make sure Country/Regions is selected and choose ALL. After choosing your first variable, you will return to the Type your formula screen. Click on Select Vars again to choose your second variable. From the Full Variable/Parameter Selection screen, choose the POP variable for ALL countries/regions, which will return you to the Type your formula page. Finally, click on Exit to return to the Full Variable/Parameter Selection page. Now, your formula of variables will be displayed in the display box as shown below.
Click on Go to Display and choose a Line Graph (the Line sub-option under Graph). You can now display the absolute population that is literate in each country, a variable that is not directly available for display in IFs but that is available after creating a formula of variables.
