Update: Some clarification - by "front-end login," I mean the main Login page that uses the login module.
So, we've launched our new web site and discovered a few issues, specifically with employees who have discovered the direct link to a page that requires you to be signed in -- bypassing the "normal" login and being presented with the Telerik Login Page (see attachment).
The issue we discovered is that while the user specific users do not have backend access, they are shown as being logged into the backend. Because we have the license where only 2 simultaneous backend users can be logged in at the same time, I am prompted to kick one of them off before I can access it administratively.
Is there a way to prevent both customers and employees from seeing this page and simply being directed to our normal page with the Login module? Thanks for your help!

Top 5 Things to Do in Beijing
A top destination for many business travelers, Beijing doesn't just house multiple international businesses and their many visitors from around the globe. One can't make the trip to Beijing for business and fail to make time for a few of the city's incredible historic and ultra-modern destinations.
A few top things to do in the time between your meetings:
1. Visit any of the imperial sights
For a modest fee, you can visit some of the most breathtaking and historically important places in all of China. Whether it's the Temple of Heaven with its chess tournaments and spontaneous Chinese opera performances, the Summer Palace for its incredible architecture, or a wander through the Forbidden City and its historical reenactments of traditional imperial life, you can't miss a trip back in time when in Beijing on business.
2. Get a traditional Chinese massage
After the flight, the business meetings, and the sightseeing, you may need a bit of therapeutic massage to get you back in shape for more exploration of all Beijing has to offer. A trip to a day spa complete with some shiatsu, aromatherapy, and incredible massage may be just what the doctor ordered. While many hotels and spas offer such services, there is none better than Dragonfly for that five-star massage at a surprisingly reasonable price.
3. Revel in amazing Beijing acrobatics
If you are looking for a way to cinch that deal after a long day of negotiations, or you are just looking to unwind with some mind-boggling entertainment at the end of a long day, look no further than an evening with the Chaoyang Acrobatic Theater Company. Contortion, balancing acts on bicycles, and juggling are sure to amaze all in the audience.
4. Unwind with a potent baiju cocktail
Across the street from the ancient Forbidden City sits the beautiful Emperor Hotel in all of its modern and trendy glory. Besides the truly breathtaking view from the rooftop bar, the Emperor boasts some of the tastiest and strongest cocktails in the area.
5. Get lost in one of the few Hutongs left
Characterized by long, narrow alleyways and single-story courtyard-style houses, hutongs are speckled with quaint markets and a more traditional experience of Beijing prior to the recent modernization now seen in the city. Rent a bicycle or take a trishaw tour, but make sure you see one of these remaining neighborhoods before they're all replaced by skyscrapers and more modern architecture.

Pollenca is one of the most beautiful and attractive places in Mallorca and also one of the first to develop tourism on the island.
Its great geography of colors, makes pollenca a favoured place for artists. Gradually pollenca has become home for many Europeans, giving it an almost cosmopolitan character.
pollenca is highly cultural and there are many galleries and typical craft shops like Galerias Vicenç, and Casa Maria. Here, traditional family heritages of crafts, arts, textile design and embroidery still thrive today.
As far as the weather goes, pollenca enjoys a fantastic climate and is ideal for nature lovers, golfers, nautical sports and other excursions.
Every year the people celebrate the 'Music festival of pollenca', regularly attended by H.M. the Queen Sofia.
A typical activity is the Sunday Market and the "Fira" in November where local products exhibited.
The best hikes to make across North Mallorca are trips to the Puig de Maria, the Castell del Rei, Vall de Ternelles and 'La Atalaia de Albercutx'. Also the Formentor peninsula offers amazing excursions to the mountains Na Blanca and En Fumat.
You could also visit one of the isolated bays such as Cala Boquer, Cala San Vicenç or Cala Castell. There you will also find the peninsula of Formentor.
Puerto pollenca
With fabulous white sandy beaches that stretch around huge sweeping bays, sheltered by the wild and rugged headland of Cabo Formentor, Puerto pollenca retains an unruffled almost leisurely atmosphere reminiscent of days gone by when it was just a small fishing port. A remarkable feature of the town and one that lingers long in the memory is its elegant tree lined promenade, fringed by shops, restaurants and open air cafes, where a lazy stroll in the evening soon becomes something of a pleasing ritual and serves to sharpen the appetite.
For the more active there's a wide choice of water sports available as well as horse riding, tennis and golf, if you take a trip across the headland to the nearby seaside village of Cala San Vicente you'll find a little rocky cove for snorkelling and two lovely sandy bays.

Irish Grey Partridge (Perdix perdix) Survey 1991, with special reference to population and habitat use in cutaway bogland.

Publication Date
Grey partridge, Perdix perdix, population decline, national survey, breeding density, cutaway bogland, habitat, Ireland
This article is published by Office National de la Chasse et de la Faune Sauvage http://www.oncfs.gouv.fr/
The grey partridge (Perdix perdix) is an endemic breeding bird in Ireland. A decline in the population reported towards the end of the 19th century, has continued to the present day. The most recent survey has reported partridges in only ten 10-km squares (< 1 %) throughout the whole country. In the early part of 1991 the author gathered together all available information on the present distribution of partridges in Ireland. A questionnaire, requesting information on the location of partridges was circulated to Wildlife Rangers and Regional Officers. Open letters to the I.W.C. (Irish Wildbird Conservancy) and the Shooting News magazines and an article in the Farmers Journal were published. The British Trust for Ornithology made their data from the ongoing national breeding bird survey available to me. Wild partridges were only recorded in seven of the twenty-six counties in the Irish Republic. A further seven counties have birds of recently released origin while the remaining twelve counties have either no records or negative records based on the questionnaire.
A survey of two discrete populations on two cutaway boglands (Boora and Lullymore) was conducted in August 1991. Data on the remaining population on the cutaways and on the breeding success of the population based on a total August count of a 4-km2 sample of each area were recorded. 23 partridges, 96 pheasants, Phasianus colchicus, plus some snipes, Gallinago gallinago, mallards, Anas platyrhynchos, hares, Lepus timidus, and a corncrake, Crex crex, were flushed. Clear differences were seen between the two cutraways with greater numbers of pheasants on Lullymore and partridges on Boora. The present density of partridges at Boora is estimated 2-3 pairs.km2 of suitable habitat and approximately half this at Lullymore cutaway. The absence of any coveys of more than six birds would suggest poor breeding performance in 1991. This work highlights the seriousness of the decline of the grey partridge in Ireland, the importance of the cutaway bogs for the remaining birds and the urgent need for a more in-dept study, with management of the species if we are to conserve it for future generations.

He is founder of the label Fachwerk Records on which he is publishing under his own name. His Live Acts and DJ Sets are as remarkable as his productions and you won't ever hear him playing any self-pleasing or incidental grooves. Mostly Mike is playing his own unpublished tracks. He did just put his ability to the test within collabarations with Clone rec and the Clone Basemnet Series. On the super limited MD2 Series Mike Dehnert is presenting again his variety in music.


text: Just wondering if the new hardware had any reported compatability issues with any existing rom-playing hardware. Also, what is the most effective, trouble free complete system one could get for playing roms for a low price? I was thinking some sort of Supercard lite maybe. Also, any suggested vendors or deals out there?

Have you ever stopped and put some serious thought into how important your mind set is to your everyday life?
Do you realize that it is the thin line between Normal and Great?
Many of us are so comfortable in that losing mind set because it is developed from what society has fed us even when they have taught us something different… puzzling but true.. stop and reflect on your life in general, then reflect on it over again focusing on the things that are labelled as failure… why did you just look at that simple situation 3 or 4 times.. I guess you are only now realizing that you missed a lesson in life, not only missed a lesson you handled the situation poorly. Is it too late to fix it? Whatever the answer you come up with you have started to cross over to that winning mind set. You now feel a rush of adrenalin, a hunger and craving for a better you but dang what are my friends and family going to say when I inform them of my next move? You just went 3 steps forward to run 10 back.
Yes you ran 10 steps back because you went back to the mind-set that your moves in life should be controlled by the opinions of Family, Friends and society rather than they supporting you or validating before you make that move… Remember my last blog spoke about Trusting the Process, well everything in this life we live is a process and the results of that process is guided by Your Mind set. Think of all the Greats or the Success Stories, what was the difference between them being normal or great? They All changed their mind set. They all changed what they would accept and what they would do different. When I tell people that I have learnt to live on 4hrs of sleep a day they look at me like you are crazy but I'm not.. I have to develop a winning mind-set that cause me to make changes on how I manage my 24hrs, what sacrifices I will make, what honest changes I had to make in my lifestyle, what things that I will keep in my heart and mind, what is friendship and who are the important pieces in my life.. You will hear my talk about a power circle from time to time and I will do a blog on it and you may be surprised at who or how I built my power circle but those are some of the serious changes I had to make in order to develop a Winning mind set. Some have bigger changes to make than others. Some just need to be willing to just JUMP. Stop take some time and invest in you and Reflect. Analyse your Mind set. Investigate if it's making you a winner or loser we all want to be winners why sell ourselves short by not making an adjustment to the one thing that controls our every move. Our Mind set. The Key to the Great Person you were born to be.

In 2004 I was excited to be invited to a meeting with high profile decision makers. Full of excitement and eager to ask the questions that would open the door to my professional future and help me complete my thesis, I was met with the one response I didn't see coming, "We don't have a Job for you". Shocked by the response I hit back with aggression, "I didn't ask you for a Job". Disappointed and overwhelmed I started to question the past 4 years of my life and wonder did I pick the Right Industry to study. Why didn't I follow my childhood dream and become an Engineer?
As time passed and work on my thesis continued ideas started to pop in my head about the different areas of the Sports industry that I could work in, but, what stood out to me the most was working for yourself but how could I get this done in an Industry that is seen as a hobby or recreation? Completing my Thesis on a Proposal to restructure Sports should help but who was I fooling, why change a system that isn't broken? One person believed in the Idea but could only give moral support and encourage me to take whatever the system has to offer but Mummy raised me to Think Big.
I accepted an Offer to become a teacher and figured out that's' my opportunity to influence the System. What better place to be. But, I was in for a reality check and along the 11 year journey I can say I've seen both positive and negative but most importantly I was building the foundation for where I am today without even realizing that I had to walk that path. Those 11 years took me on a reality trip of the Sports industry and along that trip I got the chance to build My Network, Qualifications and Most Importantly Myself.
Many asked what's next for you and I humbly answered what's in my head and my Passion for Sports. My passion for sports was so wide that setting my goals and direction was hard but the Market always has the answers once we stop and pay attention to what it's saying and the echoed voice of my mother reminding me that life is about people. The combination of those 2 have been unlocking doors that I never expected.
The Process started and will continue and all I can do is TRUST THE PROCESS. Welcome to Coach Lint's Consultancy and hope you Enjoy Coach Lint's Timeout

There are so many myths out there about working out/gyms/strength training etc, one cant truly be their Best without Proper Maintenance and that is by effectively improving the different components of fitness which we will look at in next weeks blog.
So time to get up, make that positive change, get moving, start exercising, get to a gym, get a Trainer or Training partner..
Effort Over Excuses.
You want to Improve your Grind. Add FITNESS to your Schedule.. No More Excuses, Make the Time, Make the Investment.
Don't set Goals that you are going to Reach and go back to your Old Self, it's Out with the Old habits and In with a New lifestyle, Yes make it a lifestyle change and you will see your Grind reach New Heights..
You are still reading so open your mind, get ready, get set, GO
When you wake up each day, how does your Body feel? What do you think of the society you live in? Are you ready to wake up and be better than you were yesterday?
Life is full of questions with many answers that feed our mind, body and soul in so many ways that we are either healthy or eating us away like a cancer creating an unhealthy human being but you have a choice to JUMP or fall.
So "Health is a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity" simple but powerful. It's time to wake up and make some changes that will improve your Health, help you be more productive, more positive, make you that champion that you are born to be. And you say ME a Champion? NEVER.

Antonio Conte has accused the English media of trying to create problems for him and his players at Chelsea.
The Italian has been under a bit of scrutiny as of late due to his team's performances this season. But the Blues have won their last two matches, beating Watford last weekend and putting in a nice shift against Everton in the Carabao Cup on Wednesday.
There have been many rumours swirling around Conte and Chelsea these past few weeks, with the latest suggesting that some players in the squad have contacted former assistant coach Steve Holland to air their discontent with the way things are being handled now that he's gone.
There was also talk of the players challenging Conte over his training regime, asking him to tone it down as they didn't feel they were being given enough rest.
The former Juve boss denied this, even claiming that his team were being made to train 70% less than in the previous campaign. And speaking in his press conference ahead of the trip to Bournemouth, he didn't mince his words.
Conte on problems at Chelsea: "I think there is a lot of bullshit [rumours]. They try to create problems for me and the players." #CFC
— Nizaar Kinsella (@NizaarKinsella) October 27, 2017
The manager also revealed that Holland has since contacted him to assure him that none of the players have reached out to him.
Chelsea press office say that Steve Holland isn't being contacted by player as reported and Conte has called it "a lack of respect." #CFC
— Nizaar Kinsella (@NizaarKinsella) October 27, 2017
Conte confirmed that Holland sent him a message to confirm that the newspaper rumours about players contacting him are not true #CFC
— Nizaar Kinsella (@NizaarKinsella) October 27, 2017
The Blues haven't had that great of a season, coming off the backdrop of their amazing title win earlier this year, but they didn't exactly kick things off in proper form last season and there's still time to make up some ground.
A win at Dean Court on Saturday would do them a whole lot of good, but the rumours will continue to circulate unless they string some wins together.

We offer a broad range of flexible, easy-to-use leasing solutions – all targeted toward helping you achieve your financial objectives. Our rates are competitive, our requests for documentation are reasonable, and we turn around credit decisions quickly.
Flexible Terms
We base our flexible terms on the expected use and life of the equipment you're leasing, usually between 36 and 60 months. For large projects such as plant equipment, we can develop lease terms that accommodate your installation schedule. Interim financing may also be available to complement your lease. You can also choose your payment schedule, which is one of the benefits of leasing through us.
Lease Options
We offer four types of leases to best serve your financial and accounting needs: Capital Leases, Operating Leases and True Leases. In addition, a number of lease structures may include terms with a floating interest rate, indexed to the 30-day LIBOR rate, to take advantage of changing market conditions. We also offer several end-of-lease options for you to select upon the termination of your lease with us.
What You Can Lease
You can lease almost anything you need to operate your agricultural business – passenger and commercial transportation vehicles, agricultural tools and equipment, production equipment and facilities. You can work with any manufacturer you choose, negotiate the best price, and we will step in with the financing support.
If you want to replace older equipment, you can trade it in and apply its value against a lease. Tax benefits, in this case, may be tied to depreciation and interest expense rather than the lease payment.
Enhance your next vehicle lease with the benefits of FleetPartner. We offer programs that include acquisition, maintenance, fuel, renewal and reporting. We also have programs for forklifts, trailers and heavy duty trucks. For more information visit us at fleetpartner.com.

Live Loud Girl – One large room, one sweet boy and a thousand books. Those were the ingredients we worked with for our latest room styling and we loved every step of the way.
When we came into the room for the first time, it was quite dark. We brought in some light by painting the floor and spray-painting the existing cabinets. And this time we chose a light grey (and not the usual white… I know!) to create a basic warmer tone that goes well with the furniture.
Two of the walls already had wallpaper that we had to work with, yet we decided to add a third one. One might think that having three different styles of wallpaper in one room is pushing it but we think that the green cactus pattern from ANE WALLDECOR really complements the waves and world map. And besides this, we were dying to work with this gorgeous wall art!
The main focus in the room was the books as this boy has more then an average library. That is why we needed lots of shelving. The open bookcase and the shelves on the wall will soon be filled.
As he loves to start his day with going through them, the big soft woollen beanbag from APRIL AND MAY is the perfect place for him to cuddle up. For his large collection of fossils and shells we added Muuto STORAGE BASKETS in a beautiful mustard yellow color. This color really pops out and gives this space a fresh vibe.
We used quite a few regulars that we just love to work with like the cushions and the Armadillo rug. Since the room is so big, we went for the larger version of everything.
For the sleeping area we worked with the existing Oeuf bunk bed, one of our favourites to work with that you might recognize from my own BOYS ROOM? As the boy wanted to sleep on a lower level, we had the bottom bed custom made. Together with some grid bedding from CATS AND BOYS and the monochrome cushions from TYPE HYPE, we kept it clean, fresh and cool. The colorful Muuto WALL KNOBS connect both sides of the room.
For this Dino lover, we ordered a custom-made paper mache wall decoration from SUSAN MEIJERINK, one of our latest Instagram finds. This one of a kind item brings in a special touch. No monster dares to enter this room, that's for sure!

Australian Outback: Have You Visited Undara Experience Yet?
The spectacular lava tubes at Undara Volcanic National Park in North Queensland are only part of the reason why you should consider visiting the Undara Experience resort.
Undara is right in the middle of the outback and admittedly the driving time (approximately 4 hours from Cairns or Townsville), can be a bit off-putting, but it is definitely worth the effort.
Accommodation at Undara
The accommodation at the resort is all part of the experience. There's a choice of railway carriage accommodation, a swag tent village or pioneer huts.
We spent our first night in what looked like a Stargate movie set.
These permanent swag tents provide basic but comfortable accommodation – we loved the fact that we got to see so much wildlife right on our doorstep. We had two tents adjoined by a deck in the middle with sink, bar fridge, table and chairs.
The second night we stayed in one of the Pioneer Huts with a few more luxuries like a bathroom and air-conditioning. For us, the biggest drawcard of the Hut was the nice private verandah where a couple of adventurous wallabies came up to visit.
Whilst we didn't try them on this visit, the third option for accommodation is to stay in a restored railway carriage.
Apparently the reason these old railway carriages ended up here is because the founder of Undara Experience found some carriages sitting around in a disused siding one day and decided to 'upcycle' them into this unique accommodation.
One of them has also been turned into a restaurant.
Things to do
While you're staying at Undara the 'true blue' bush breakfast at Ringers Camp is a must.
Watched by a "kookaburra in an old gum tree", guests eat a delicious egg and bacon breakfast in a fantastic setting that captures the true essence of the Australian bush with tree stump seating, billy tea on the go and long prongs to toast your own bread over the campfire.
There's so much more to the Undara Experience than a visit to the lava tubes (although they are worth seeing).
This is really about soaking in the atmosphere of the Australian Outback which includes nature walks and lots of wildlife spotting.
The wide open spaces also make for memorable evenings of sitting around the campfire toasting marshmellow, stargazing and listening to folk tales.

Amy Driscoll is a familiar face to the Grand Forks theatre scene: she's appeared at the Fire Hall Theatre in shows including The Mystery of Edwin Drood and Almost, Maine and productions at the UND Burtness Theatre including Eurydice, Comedy of Errors, and Scarcity. This spring she stepped off the stage to direct the Fire Hall's season closer, Moon Over Buffalo. As Assistant Director for Moon, Miss Jaye has been spending a lot of time with Amy the last 6 weeks or so, but she took some special time to sit down with her and ask her a few questions to share you to help you get to know this bubbly theatre personality a little bit better.
Janessa: Girl, I can't believe that Moon Over Buffalo is finally open! It's been a wonderful process. But before we get to that show, tell me a little bit about yourself.
Amy: Well, I was born and raised in the booming metropolis of the Greater Grand Forks Area. I studied Theatre Arts at UND, where I graduated in August of 2011. Now I work full-time at the UND Bookstore to supplement my theatre habits.
Janessa: How did you first get involved with theatre?
Amy: I started theatre when I was 12 years old. I was staying with my best friend Kristen, who was going to audition for Pinocchio in Fertile MN, and I decided to tag along. I ended up getting a featured role, and from that moment I was hooked. I was involved in summer theatre throughout middle school as well as high school productions all the way up.
Janessa: Even though you are young, you've been in the world of local theatre for quite a while! Why do you enjoy doing theatre?
Amy: I enjoy theatre for many reasons. I love the character work that goes into a performance; building a human from the ground up so to speak. I've always enjoyed people watching, and it's fun taking the quirks I've observed and putting them onstage. I also love theatre because it is a way for people to connect to one another. Actors connect to each other, the audience connects with the performance, and everyone walks away having gained something. It's an experience you never have twice, and it's something that I can't get enough of.
(Left: Amy in the Fire Hall production The Mystery of Edwin Drood. Right: Amy as Blitzen in a publicity photo for the Late Night Series production of The Eight: Reindeer Monologues.)
Janessa: A lot of people are probably familiar with your face from having seen you on stage, but what kind of directing experience did you have before Moon Over Buffalo?
Amy: I took directing class as an independent study during school, so I had the unique opportunity to do more work in class than students usually do. I am also the Assistant Director for Sleepy Hollow Summer Theatre in Bismarck, ND. Moon Over Buffalo is my first run as director of a main stage production though, and it has been an excellent learning experience for me.
Janessa: So, now that you've got experience on "both sides" of the stage, how is directing different from acting? Do you prefer one or the other?
Amy:I like to use the analogy that the actors are the writers and the director is the editor of a production. Being an actor is so narrow; you have your lines to memorize and your character to create. You build relationships with the others on stage, but it doesn't go much beyond that. As a director, you are there to make sure everything makes sense as a whole, on top of making sure all the individual performances are on track. It's also a little bit like being a parent. You do everything you can to make sure the show is successful, but ultimately, you step back and watch your "babies" learn to fly on their own.
I don't know if I have a preference yet. I definitely still love to perform, there's just something about doing live theatre that will never get old. Directing is a nice change of pace, even if it is about 200 times more stressful. It's definitely more challenging, and I feel like I grow exponentially more as an artist when I direct. I guess I'm pretty content being a 50/50 actor director.
Janessa: This is always one of my favorite questions because the answers usually surprise me and it really lets us know more about who you are as a person: what is your dream show to direct, and what is your dream show to act in?
Amy: My dream show to direct is "Waiting for Godot," by Samuel Beckett. I had to do a makeup design for it once, and from then on I have been sort of obsessed with it. I would take it out of the realm of reality and heighten everything with absurd makeup, costumes, lights and set. It would be wonderful, or at least it is in my head, Miss Jaye!
As far as acting goes, I definitely will play Tracy Turnblad in Hairspray before I die; I'm pretty sure that show was written for me. I also really love the role of Mrs. Lovett in Sweeny Todd, and Emma Goldman in Ragtime.
Janessa: And when you are playing Tracy, I will be right there as your mother – Edna Turnblad is definitely one of my dream roles! And I adore Emma Goldman. One of my favorite quotes by her is "If I can't dance, I don't want to be part of your revolution." And that sort of brings us around to my next couple of questions. First, why do you think theatre is important?
Amy: Theatre is important because it forces us to connect with one another. When you go see a movie or watch a show on T.V. there's not a lot of thinking involved, and there's something that's lost once it's recorded. But to be in the audience of a live show, experiencing as the actors are experiencing, you become part of it – part of each other's lives, if only for two hours. You have affected one another and that moment will never happen again.
Janessa: I totally agree. Related to the experience of theatre itself, why do you think community theatre is important?
Amy: Community theatre is important because it makes theatre accessible to anyone who wants to try it. It's a way for people to build their resumes and gain experience in a safe environment. For example, as a first time director I was never alone. The Executive Director, Kathy Coudle King was always there with whatever I needed. I feel that sense of community can sometimes be missed in professional theatre.
Janessa: So after Moon Over Buffalo closes, what's next for you?
Amy: My next adventure is heading out to Bismarck, ND for the summer season at Sleepy Hollow Summer Theatre. I am the assistant director for the two main stage productions, Disney's Little Mermaid Junior and Les Miserables, and the director of the Fairy Tale Theatre production of Cinderella. I am super excited to get to work; it's my second summer with SHST, and last year I learned more about myself as a person and a director than I have ever before. I can't wait to see what this summer has in store!
Janessa: Well, we'd better get back to work. Is there anything else you'd like our World of Champagne readers to know about you, your work, or this production before we "sign off"?
Amy: During this production, I had the most amazing assistant director a girl could ask for. The Lady herself, Miss Janessa Jaye Champagne was my tie to sanity. Every time I got close to going off the deep end, or killing someone, she was there keeping me sane.
Janessa: I didn't pay her to say that, I swear!
Amy: I don't know what I would have done without her and her creative input, encouragement, sass and confidence. Also, my cast is pretty incredible, and they've worked harder than I expected to put on a wonderful show. I don't think I could have asked for anyone better, and I am so proud of them. So please, take the time to come see the show, it really is worth your while.
Janessa: Amy, thank you so much for taking the time to sit down and answer all of these questions, and thanks for letting me be a part of Moon Over Buffalo – it's been a really amazing experience!
Amy: You are most welcome, Nana!

I am currently a Machine Learning Lead at Argo AI. Before that, I spent three years at Adobe Research. I have a PhD from Carnegie Mellon University, during which I visited Google Research for several summers as well.
My interests lie at the intersection of machine learning, and 3D computer vision. I develop end-to-end learning systems and holistic machine learning applications that bring signals of the visual world together: images, depth scans, videos, 3D shapes and points clouds. More specifically, I am actively working on deep structured inference from the limited view of the world obtained by a learning agent, under realistic assumptions of limited data and experience. To address this challenge, my work focuses on: (1) incorporating our knowledge about the real world into deep neural networks as custom physically-based differentiable layers, (2) exploiting synthetic data and augmentation to bootstrap lack of training data.
Opportunities in the Machine Learning Team @ Argo AI
Full-time: We are a team of researchers and engineers coming from a diverse and rich set of backgrounds. Please reach out if you are interested in learning about the current full-time opportunities and you: (1) are a machine learning and/or computer vision researcher, (2) have an advanced degree in hard sciences (eg. applied math, physics), or (3) are a C++ and/or CUDA wizard.
Internship: If you are a PhD student interested in doing a research internship at Argo AI and/or collaborating on a project with me, send an e-mail. It will be very helpful if you include a resume, your affiliation, your advisor's name, and a summary of your current interests.

(AP) Obama laments 'backward' Russian thinking
By MATTHEW LEE
AP Diplomatic Writer
President Barack Obama said Friday he was reassessing the relationship with Russia because of a growing number of issues on which the two countries differ, and he lamented what he called his mixed success in trying to convince Russian leader Vladimir Putin to abandon a Cold War mentality.
At a news conference while senior officials from the U.S. and Russia put a brave face on badly strained relations between Washington and Moscow, Obama said Putin's return to the Kremlin last year had brought about "more rhetoric on the Russian side that was anti-American, that played into some of the old stereotypes about the Cold War contest between the United States and Russia."
He added that no one could hope for 100 percent agreement and that differences could not be completely disguised. But he said U.S.-Russian cooperation is important.
Obama's comments came shortly after Secretary of State John Kerry and Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel wrapped up talks with their Russian counterparts that were intended to try to repair some of the damage caused by the differences.
Kerry allowed that U.S.-Russia ties had been complicated by "the occasional collision" and "challenging moments." Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov also acknowledged the fractious state of the relationship but called on both sides to act like "grown-ups," saying that's how Moscow wants to handle the differences.
Both men maintained that U.S-Russian cooperation on even limited areas of shared concern is important.
Noting that he and Lavrov are both former ice hockey players, Kerry said that they understood "that diplomacy, like hockey, can sometimes result in the occasional collision, so we're candid, very candid, about the areas in which we agree but also the areas in which we disagree."
Russia has minced no words in expressing its disappointment that Obama cancelled the summit, and Lavrov made it clear that Moscow had been prepared to sign agreements on trade and nuclear research and security had it gone ahead.
U.S.-Russia discord had been simmering since Putin regained the Russian presidency more than a year ago.
On returning to power, he adopted a deeply nationalistic and more openly confrontational stance toward the United States than the man he had chosen to succeed him as president in 2008, Dmitry Medvedev, whose tenure roughly overlapped Obama's first term in the White House.
The U.S. is upset about Moscow's backing of President Bashar Assad in Syria's civil war. The two nations also have been at odds over Russia's domestic crackdown on civil rights, a U.S. missile defense plan for Europe, trade, global security, human rights and American adoptions of Russian children.
