I got out in the garden last week with Hythe to plant some spring vegetables. I started raining the next day and kept up for four days. Then, we have 3 days of pleasant, warm, sunny weather. And, it started raining again today (and got a bit cooler!). But, that weather combination was perfect for the garden. I checked on it yesterday and all the lettuces, kale, and radishes were up! The peas were just poking a few of their little leaves out of the ground (I had to look very carefully for them – too small even for pictures).
Flowers are blooming – the first daffodils, the glory-of-the-snow (from William's mother's garden), the last of the crocuses. Isaiah is plowing the bottom land, getting it ready for spring plantings at Flying Cloud Farm. Our peach tree is budding up and tiny green leaves are poking out. The grass is growing, weeds are growing – our world is getting a bit greener. Steven came out with me to see what was blooming outside and really liked the henbit. He smelled the flowers, saying "smell good" (though they have no smell), but when I crushed up the stems (they are members of the mint family), he wrinkled up his nose, "yuck".
All the maple trees are in full bloom. I used to not consider maples a flowering tree, but they do put on a beautiful show here (and one of the first), with colors from reddish brown to scarlet. The color last quite a while too and can be stunning on some trees. Being on the brownish-red spectrum, our tree does not have very pretty blooms (though I do not say that very loud as I would not want to hurt feelings – it has so many other wonderful qualities). But, it is nice to see it bloom.
I mulched and fertilized most of the blueberries, but I still need to prune them.
Speaking of pruning, my favorite pruning book is The American Horticulture Society book Pruning and Training. There are also some great resources on-line from NC State University. William is much better pruner than i am. He's had a bit more practice since he worked on the apple farm one winter and has pruned hundreds of apple trees in his life. I tend to stand, studying a tree or bush for far too long, then make small, tentative clips around the plant, so by the end of 30 minutes the tree looks about the same as before. Maybe I am too nervous about ruining the tree to make bold cuts. Blueberries are perfect for me because (at least at this point) my bushes are small and easy understand. The pruning seems much more strait forward than tree fruits.
What's going on in your garden? Anything yet? I know many people still have snow on the ground (and still coming down).

Dear Students,
Why do we educate ourselves? Why is it that after 25-30 years of learning also, we are not able to fulfil our needs of food, clothing and shelter? Animals train their young ones for hardly 2 years. This training is more than sufficient for them to survive biologically. Whereas, even after 25 years of learning, there is no guarantee that man will be able to get a job to look after himself. Therefore, it is important to find out why we go to school if it is not to solve the problems of human society. Where has education gone wrong?
Basically, the purpose of education/ training/ developing skills was biological survival. But somewhere it has gone wrong, as it is psychological survival that has taken more importance. This has created a division in humanity – as per caste, country, colour, education, skills and experience. This has made it impossible for man to live in society.
In the thousands of years of man's existence, he must have fought at least 15000-20000 wars. Education also formally began around 10000 years ago. If that education has helped us fight so skilfully in war, but not to live in peace, then we have to inquire where we have gone wrong in education. As it has in fact led us in a completely different direction from the main purpose of education, which is biological survival.
Day by day our conflicts/ dissatisfactions are increasing. We are having problems in our relationships. We can say that most of these problems are due to intellect. This is because our intellect is not pure like artificial intelligence, but a mixture of intellect and ignorance. Here we define ignorance as knowledge in unwanted things (which is not technology).
We don't know what we are doing. The knowledge of psychology which is not actually experienced by people (and, sorry to say, can never be experienced) comes to people through memory, which is, in fact, second-hand knowledge – from someone else. Because of this we are neither happy nor creative. Living in the past memory of psychology creates sorrow and loneliness, and is not real but imaginary. To escape from that, we resort to entertainment. Entertainment can be anything which keeps me occupied/ engrossed.
Education that develops this kind of intellect is not helpful. Is it then possible to have education where only biological survival is given importance? Any other area – are we capable to say 'I don't know'? This will help us learn. Learning can be understood as being in the present; experiencing things first hand, in the moment, which leads to self-knowledge.
Technology is rational and logical. It is common for the whole of humanity – in the entire world. But people are conditioned differently in all countries. What is good in India may not be good in America. Is it then possible to have knowledge in the area of technology, which is rational and logical, and in the area of psychology, say, "I don't know"? It is only then that I am open to learning and I am learning. That learning is active present, where we rely on our senses. We experience and therefore we learn.
In not knowing, there is a door to travel. I am not worried or anxious. I can take each day as it comes. Each new day is a new experience. I can then say that I am not dependent on anybody where knowledge is concerned and I have self-confidence because all are like me: none of us know. This confidence in not knowing is intelligence.
There is a difference between knowledge and learning. Knowledge is accumulated – based on memory. Learning involves love, life and attention. It means being whole where all senses work together. So there is no competition or comparison. Comparison is the business of measurement. Measurement is only possible with material. Life, love and living cannot be measured.
Can we then abolish this system of comparison and competition between humanity? When there is no other knowledge except technological which is required for biological survival, it reduces the distance between humans. So war, enmity, envy can be eliminated from the world.

|Digests Grease to keep Kitchen and Bathroom Wastes Clean and Free of Black Slime Build-up
|Microbes Populate Drain Walls to Digest Organic Waste to Keep Them Free-Flowing
|Non-Chemical Treatment that Benefits both Mains Drains and Septic Tank Users
|Eliminates Build-ups of Hair and Fat Balls that Create Blockages
|Environment Friendly
1. Dilute 10ml (approx 2 teaspoons or small squirt) in about 200mls (approx 1 small cup) of barely lukewarm water.
NOTE – Hot water will destroy the microbes in Digesta - if hot water recently drained, flush 1-2 litres of cold water, prior to treatment.
2. Pour diluted mix in to the sink / basin / bath / shower drain hole at night or when it will not be used for 8+ hours.
3. Repeat at 1 – 2 week intervals for free-flowing wastes and drains.
Slow-Running / Blocked Drains and Waste Traps
Repeat treatment daily until clear.
Blocked drains may need clearing with a 'plunger' to allow water to flow.
Unlike chemical products Digesta is a biological drain cleaner that is non-chemical, 100% safe to the environment and perfect for septic tank owners.
Used in properties with mains sewer connections, Digesta is not only the first choice for ensuring cleaner, free-flowing drains, it also assists in elminating fat build-ups within public drainage systems too.
How Biological Digesta® Treatment Technology Works
|Enzymes break down long chain FOG molecules into bite-size pieces.
|Digesta's microbes can now digest these smaller molecules, safely eliminating FOG.
Digesta works in two distinct ways on the fats, oils and grease (FOG) waste entering waste traps and drainage pipes, and grease traps too.
• Digesta's Microbes release enzymes that assist in breaking down long chain FOG molecules into smaller molecules.
• The microbes can then easily digest to simply produce water and carbon dioxide.
• FOG around hair strands and 'fluff' is eliminated, allowing these to flow freely through the entire drainage system. Whereas 'enzyme only' products, simply reduce larger molecules in the FOG to help 'displace' and 'dump' them elsewhere, Digesta eliminates the FOG completely by digesting it, rather than just breaking it down.
• No matter how careful we are in not rinsing fats, oils and greases (FOG) down wastes, Small quantities reamain on pan and crockery surfaces when washing up.
• Kitchen detergents simply act in removing grease by emulsifying it - which means on cooling it is free to reform elsewhere.
• In the Bathroom, body fats, body lotions and even soaps all result in FOG entering the waste traps and drains. These combine with hair to create 'Fat Balls' that easily lead to blockages in small diameter waste pipes.
• Black 'Bio Slime' build-ups commonly occur not just in waste traps but along drainage pipes too.

Earnings season may be in full swing, but company numbers aren't the biggest potential catalyst next week. That honor goes to the Massachusetts Senate race, once thought to be a lock for Democrat Martha Coakley but now a legitimate tossup between her and Republican Scott Brown.
"A Brown win would be devastating for the president's agenda," Cramer said, "particularly on health-care reform."

Published November 01 2017
By Comfort Dorn
Natasha Brooks' mentor didn't hire her — but he did everything he could to help her land the right job.
While employed at a hospital in Texas, Brooks worked with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration to remove a clinical hold from an ongoing clinical trial. That led her to thinking about a career at the FDA, so at the 2015 Experimental Biology conference, she connected with Marcus Delatte, a pharmacology/toxicology reviewer at the FDA.
Brooks sought out Delatte and asked him about his work. He responded by taking an interest in her future. "He helped me with writing down my career goals for where I wanted to be in five years, in 10 years, in 15 years," Brooks said, "and strategies for those goals."
Delatte put Brooks in touch with medical writers and regulatory affairs specialists to get a feel for what they do. "Those talks helped me tailor my resume and get a sense of what kind of questions I'd be asked in an interview … They helped me get the job."
Now a medical writer at Technical Resources International, Brooks believes in the value of mentoring, so much so that she coordinates what are known as the "professor rounds" at the American Society for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology annual meeting, along with Lana Saleh, who began as an ASBMB mentor before partnering with Brooks this year.
The ASBMB annual meeting, held in conjunction with the EB conference, offers numerous opportunities for students and early-career scientists to meet mentors, everything from the structure of the professor rounds to a more casual "meet the speaker" event during poster presentations.
Professor rounds are offered in conjunction with the ASBMB Minority Affairs Committee's travel awards to the meeting. After the awards are announced, Brooks and Saleh contact the recipients to ask if they want to be paired with a mentor. About 75 percent of the 15 to 20 recipients each year express interest, Brooks said, and each is matched with a mentor based on career and research goals.
Students who want careers in academic research can usually find plenty of potential mentors on their home campuses, but for those interested in industry, science policy, consulting or biotech, the MAC program opens different doors.
About six weeks before the annual meeting, Brooks and Saleh start to get the ball rolling. They reach out to other MAC members for help in identifying potential mentors based on the interests expressed by the students. Once the matches are made, they send the mentors' contact information to the students, suggesting that the students get in touch to set up a meeting during the annual meeting.
Asking the students to make the first move is important, Brooks said. "It forces them to take the first step in networking."
The MAC hosts a reception at the annual meeting, and mentors sometimes will suggest meeting there. Or they might get together with their mentees for coffee.
Opportunities for mentor connections also exist at the ASBMB graduate student and postdoctoral fellow career event held the Friday and Saturday before the main annual meeting program. Chris Heinen and Tim O'Connell co-organize the event, which has evolved over the years to provide more time for students to interact with speakers representing a variety of career fields.
"We have multiple opportunities for the students to talk to our speakers, including Q&A panels and lunch where the speakers sit with groups of trainees," Heinen, an associate professor at UConn Health who has co-organized the event for 10 years, wrote in an email. "I personally have overseen a Q&A panel on starting your own lab for nine years," he wrote. "I also sit with students at lunch and answer career-related questions."
Mentorship is not a marriage. Aspiring scientists can have multiple mentors as they develop and hone their career interests — sometimes several at once. Brooks recalls her own experience as a graduate student at the 2012 EB meeting, where she was paired with a mentor through the professor rounds and also made mentoring connections with professionals at a workshop organized by Heinen.
Brooks knew then that she didn't want a career in academia. Before the meeting, she researched career paths and decided she was interested in science writing and science policy. "Fortunately, I was able to meet professionals in both fields from the workshop," she wrote in an email. "I asked both of them if they were available for coffee at some point during the meeting for a one-on-one session and they both agreed." She treated the one-on-one sessions as informational interviews, asking what steps she could take to prepare herself to enter and work in those areas. "I was able to get an understanding of both fields, the type of training required, and what exactly someone in that particular field does on a daily basis."
Mentoring can begin and end with that one-on-one over coffee or it can continue for years via regular emails, phone calls or Skype chats. Brooks said she and Delatte update each other about once a month. Both are now in the Washington, D.C. area "so we live close enough to meet for coffee," she said. She is in touch with her medical writer mentors about four times a year. "You have to keep up with people," she said.
In the last three years, Saleh, a staff scientist in the research department at New England Biolabs, has been a mentor to four students who wanted to pursue careers in industry. She has maintained contact with one of the four, helping him polish his resume, discussing interview strategies and keeping him updated with industrial openings she thinks would be a good fit based on his qualifications. "I plan to keep in touch with this mentee and ensure I am there for him to offer any guidance he wants in the next phases of his career," she wrote in an email.
What makes a successful mentor-mentee relationship? "This is the golden question!" Saleh wrote. Like any good professional or personal relationship, "(t)hey are the ones that start with some form of chemistry and continue strong due to open and frequent communication, reciprocity, clear expectations, and last but not least mutual respect."
Brooks believes the first and most crucial piece is "a willingness of the mentee to seek out or take advantage of opportunities for mentorship." It's also important for the mentee to understand that "the relationship may not directly lead to a position but will give you more insight and connect you to more people." Mentees also need to ask good questions about the career field, and they need to follow up, she wrote. "Many times (myself included) we do the initial work with identifying a mentor, but after the first interaction, we do not continue to develop the relationship. I suggest every few months to send an email to the person to tell them how you are doing … Share with your mentor what your goals are and what you are working towards as they may have a solution for you or be able to connect you with another person who has the answer you're looking for."
Saleh stresses that the communication needs to go both ways. "The mentor should take the first steps of keeping the line of communications open by checking in on a mentee and encouraging him/her to reach out," she wrote. "On the other hand, a mentee should not be intimidated to be up front and should communicate a clear set of goals that he/she desires to achieve from this mentoring relationship."
Both Saleh and Brooks encourage mentors and mentees to take advantage of social media and the latest forms of electronic communication to keep in touch if they are too far apart for that cup of coffee.
The minority affairs committee, the education and professional development committee and all the organizers of the ASBMB annual meeting believe strongly in the importance of good mentor relationships to build careers in science. But even with multiple opportunities scheduled, students and young scientists sometimes may have a hard time making the connection.
Danielle Snowflack, the ASBMB's manager of public outreach, offers a suggestion to address this challenge. "One of the hardest things for a young researcher to do is to reach out to someone that they don't know, especially someone who may serve as a mentor. It helps to have a brief introduction to your scientific projects prepared," Snowflack said. That's one of the reasons the Public Outreach Committee has developed a workshop called "Constructing an Elevator Pitch," which will be offered twice at this year's Experimental Biology meeting. "It's important to have a well-crafted message explaining your interests ready to go," Snowflack said, "so that you're comfortable with what you are going to say before you take the leap and interact with a potential mentor, collaborator, employer or with anyone interested in what you do in the lab and why you are doing it."
Once a mentor connection is made, the student then needs to know what questions to ask. For help with this, the Education and Professional Development Committee has prepared a short video on informational interviews.
Heinen also recognizes the challenge for trainees to interact with more senior scientists at the annual meeting. "The volume of people is so large that people tend to interact with those they already know," he wrote. "It is more difficult to have spontaneous interactions with new people." In addition to the weekend events for grad students and postdocs, he suggests some planned lunches during the week centered around certain interest areas (research or otherwise) where selected faculty and other professionals would be asked to attend and specifically interact with trainees.
Due to the time constraints of the annual meeting, Brooks suggests it might be difficult to add additional sessions. "However, one possible way to strengthen existing mentoring relationships or build new ones would be to offer quarterly podcasts or Skype meeting outside of the annual conference in which potential mentors from varying backgrounds could connect with students," she wrote.
During a MAC meeting in October, members decided to establish a mechanism for following up with both mentors and mentees after the annual meeting to assess its programs. "This way we can collect more information regarding our pairing process as well as the success and effectivity of the connections that were established at ASBMB," Saleh wrote. "This feedback will help us in the planning of the next professor rounds and mentoring workshops."
In the final analysis, a mentor can be a bridge to the future, broadening a student's horizons as they provide direction and encouragement. A good mentor "leads you to the people who can tell you about the jobs you would like," Brooks said. "They have access to opportunities you might not know."

The GWSHOF
The Greater Wilmington Sports Hall of Fame was created in 2005 under the guiding hand of Bill Dooley. We honored our first class of inductees in 2006 and have continued the tradition of honoring four or five individuals each year at our Legends Induction Banquet.
We are a non-profit organization and survive due to the hard work of our Board of Directors and the goodwill of the greater Wilmington community. It is the Wilmington area community members that support our efforts to recognize our inductees and serve as our sponsors.
Bill Dooley Scholarship Program
The Bill Dooley Scholarship Program was established in honor of Coach Bill Dooley, long-time, award-winning Atlantic Coast Conference Head Football Coach. Each year the GWSHOF awards scholarships in recognition of each of its inductees into the Hall of Fame. The scholarship is awarded to a high school selected by each inductee. The high schools will then award the scholarships to student athletes that successfully balance being good students and good citizens, while also making a significant contribution to their respective sport.

Today, i installed Fedora 14 on my laptop under virtual machine (i used VMWare). I downloaded DVD version which has 3.3 GB of size and the installation took some time to complete. So far, Slackware is still the fastest one with less than 10 minutes to install and you can have a lot of software installed by default.
My first impression with Fedora is that it similar to Ubuntu in many ways, such as the default package selection (probably because i picked the Graphical Desktop option at installation phase. It would be different if i choose a developer option where it will install so many packages required for developers).
The first thing i do is to update the YUM repository and try to download all the updates on my campus repository. It has been finished for few days ago, so it's ready to be tested. At first, it failed to get the repodata files, and i tried to switch mirrors, but the real culprit is that it hasn't got any IP address. I forgot to run dhclient to get an IP Address. This is now on progress and i will have an updated Fedora later on.
So far, i'm still having a fun time with Fedora 14, because it shares most of the principal in Ubuntu. But still my favourite Linux distribution goes to Slackware.

Director of National Intelligence James Clapper led off the three-hour White House meeting with detailed analysis of the evidence about the chemical weapons attack, the disposition of victims and what the administration now believes is a near air-tight circumstantial case that the Syrian regime was behind it.
Obama ordered a declassified report be prepared for public release before any military strike commences. That report, top advisers tell CBS News, is due to be released in a day or two.
There was no debate at the Saturday meeting that a military response is necessary. Obama ordered up legal justifications for a military strike, should he order one, outside of the United Nations Security Council. That process is well underway, and particular emphasis is being placed on alleged violations of the Geneva Convention and the Chemical Weapons Convention.
Watch: Kerry says Syria's chemical weapons "should shock the conscience of the world."Secretary of State John Kerry said Monday the evidence "is screaming at us" that chemical weapons were used in Syria, and he said President Obama believes "there must be accountability" -- the latest sign that the administration is getting ready for a possible military strike against the Assad regime.
Kerry said he had looked again at the pictures we all saw last week of the victims of the attack -- many of them children -- and can't get them out of his head.
"What we saw in Syria last week should shock the conscience of the world," Kerry said. "It defies any code of morality. Let me be clear: The indiscriminate slaughter of civilians, the killing of women and children and innocent bystanders by chemical weapons is a moral obscenity. By any standard, it is inexcusable and -- despite the excuses and equivocations that some have manufactured -- it is undeniable."
The words Kerry used and the force with which he delivered them left little doubt the U.S. will soon strike Syria.
"President Obama believes there must be accountability for those who used the world's most heinous weapons against the world's most vulnerable people," he said.
Four U.S. Navy warships are already in position in the eastern Mediterranean, ready to launch cruise missiles within hours of receiving the order from Obama. A British submarine is also reported to be in position.
Watch: Kerry leaves little doubt U.S. will strike Syria, David Martin reports.
They would almost certainly fire their weapons in the middle of the night, the time when the U.S. military prefers to strike and when most civilians would be off the streets and less likely to be injured.
An attack limited to cruise missiles would fall well short of the shock and awe campaign on the opening night of the Iraq War, but officials said it would be large enough to damage the Syrian military's ability to launch future chemical weapons attacks.
The U.S. has huge military advantage, so there is little doubt cruise missiles could destroy targets ranging from command centers to launchers used to fire chemical weapons.
Obama wants to send a message about the consequences of using chemical weapons, but the Syrian regime is playing for much bigger stakes: it is fighting for its life.

White sand beaches clear blue berlaguna certainly be found in all three islands. The largest island is Grand Cayman, with its capital George Town is finished.

SAN MARCOS — As the World Cup unfolds in Brazil, Bobby Renneisen has been watching every game, but not just for the entertainment value and not just as a soccer player in his own right. Renneisen has been watching the matches with an eye on the evolution of the game.
Yet, Renneisen is quick to point out that tactics that were used in the game even 10 years ago have come back again.
"There's never one particular way to do it," he said. "I think that's the beauty of soccer — there's just so much variety that you can certainly appreciate it from the entertainment value, of course, but then just the modern tactics, the modern game and the overall evolution of the game is always exciting to take in and learn from," Renneisen said.
And some of those tactics on display right now might eventually be put into his playbook later this year when he takes up his new position as head coach of the Cal State San Marcos women's soccer team.
But the job title won't be the only new thing for Renneisen, even though he's been the associate head coach for the men's and women's teams for the last two seasons. And he's been with the college's soccer program under head coach Ron Pulvers since it began in 2006.
With the new title, he'll have some new responsibilities that come with being the sole head coach — the first time the two programs will have independent coaches. Earlier this offseason, the soccer programs were divided up. Before that Pulvers had simultaneously served as the head coach of both programs. Pulvers will remain head coach of the men's program.
"It's really exciting for both he (Pulvers) and myself, to not only support both programs because we have so much invested interest in them, but be more specifically working hands on with the players," he said.
And what might make the transition easier is that the entire roster from last season is returning this year.
This season, he said, there'll be a lot of regularity and a lot of similarities to what has been done before with the two programs.
"It's been a positive recipe that we will look to enhance more than anything," he said. "How can we make it better? It's already a really good thing and how can we make it better? So that's ultimately what we're looking to do," Renneisen said.
"I think there will be some gradual changes through time," he said. "As of right now, going into this 2014-15 season, we have a very experienced group with a great incoming class as well."
And Renneisen knows that the position isn't just about tactics and wins — it's about making sure the students are also doing well in the classroom and enjoying their collegiate experiences.
"It's an educational piece first and foremost," he said. "The athletes are here to get their education and to see that happen and to watch those individuals graduate in four years is my number one focus and goal," Renneisen added.
"Soccer is certainly a unique and a significant piece to the puzzle, which has brought us all together," he said.
Renneisen said the search is ongoing to build out his own staff, including a full-time assistant head coach. He added that he anticipates his staff will be solidified by the end of the month, or by early July at the latest.
As for any advice he's received from Pulvers, Renneisen said that Pulvers has been his number one mentor.
"I have the most respect, appreciation and love for what he's done for me," Renneisen said. "And I think he's always preached that the most important thing in being a coach is being yourself because the players, they want genuine people that they can trust and respect."
Players report to training camp Aug. 8.

pretty good. some of the code in the last lab could be better explained. also please debug the cloud shell, as it does not always show the "web preview" button ;) otherwise, good job!

Nice introduce, might be more on introduce the model structure, because I still need to read additional notes to locate how to train my deep learning model online.

this course is a way more about google cloud than tensorflow:
-You'll never learn how to install and setup tensorflow on your own infrastructure. Count how many time the logo of google cloud vs tensorflow appears. Another fact? they propose to win a google cloud tshirt on the forum... but you'll learn how to use google cloud...
-Tutors tell to don't use the forum on coursera, but the google tickets system... but as long as I pay on coursera, I expect to have a serious following from the tutors on the coursera forum, isn't it legit ?
-Of course they don't forget to send you email about google cloud products...
-You only have to pass quiz, no need to do the exercises, just log to them then your good to pass... is that serious ? what does worth my certificate ?
-I'm definitely not happy of this one, this will down my confidence in coursera...
btw I will send this message to coursera either in the way to get some explanation how this could be possible... I mean we are talking about google doing a fraud!

even though the instructors present in a great way, especially the labs seem to be quite confusing and the videos couldn't prepare me so well for what expects me in the lab
por Nithin S•
Jan 10, 2019
While it is a fairly basic and informative course, I could was left disappointed with a few things
I found the lab infrastructure hard to setup and of limited use.
The lab exercise were trivial and not up to mark
The lab was not graded or no scope for us to run them independently on our cluster on our own cloud.
I was slightly irritated with trainers trying to promote google product instead of focusing on technical training.
Google BigQuery was an unnecessary addition and distracting till you realize you don't need it for this training.

The introduction to TensorFlow was good. Lab needs improvement; it would be helpful to have code templates that needs to be filled in by us to get credit for the lab, instead of just executing the code. Content in Estimator API module needs a bit more depth/explanation in my opinion.
por Juan M P•
Jan 31, 2019
Although the videos and content in general is OK, the environment and setup of Google DataLab for each lab is really disgusting – takes about 10 minutes to start with the proper exercise.
I understand that Google wants us to use their products, but the main purpose of this course (learning TensorFlow) is cluttered with this environment.
por Miika M•
Nov 21, 2018
Don't think I'll remember much of what I've seen two weeks from now. Most of the time in the course was spent on spinning up the google cloud stuff. All the labs are done for you so no need to use your own brain. I'm very disappointed.

Labs vms are to slow. Speaker is difficult to understand. Mic varies and speech pattern is not clear. The presentations need some graphics rather than a guy talking. Sketch out the ideas on a white board rather than talking 5 minutes to a single slide.

por Marc M v W•
Jan 21, 2019
Sadly disappointing. I was hoping for a more detailed presentation of TensorFlow and its capacities. But no words about the Keras level, TensorHub, and other TensorFlow really useful parts. Instead, we have a gentle "hello world" type of introduction to TensorFlow low level and estimation layers, and how to deploy an application to Google Cloud. Now it's not bad, just disappointing.

The course could have more programming components.
por Muhammad A R•

This course is more focused on integration of other google services in TF rather then being an Intro to TF.
por Eddie G•
Jan 16, 2019
This course is not for those starting out with Machine Learning; its language is very technical and not learner-friendly. Furthermore, for the labs, a new log in is generated for each lab so that you need to setup the virtual machine new each time, which takes forever. Furthermore, the labs are not structured well as they don't accurately reflect what was taught in the same section.

STOCKHOLM — Greenpeace says it has started dumping boulders into the North Sea off the Swedish coast to prevent seabed trawling in the area.
The environmental group says it will deposit some 180 large granite rocks in the Kattegat sea area, some 12 miles off the western coast, and has informed regional officials about it.
Greenpeace objects to bottom trawling, dragging a net along the seabed, saying it endangers the marine environment.
It has urged Sweden to reform the European Union's fisheries policy during its six-month presidency of the bloc that began last month.
Agriculture Minister Eskil Erlandsson said Monday that the Greenpeace action was unnecessary because marine protection is already on the EU agenda.

Frequently Asked Questions
Hepatitis B FAQs
What is Hepatitis B?
Hepatitis B is a serious infection of the liver caused by the Hepatitis B virus (HBV), and can lead to premature death from cirrhosis (scarring of the liver), liver failure or liver cancer.
How is hepatitis B transmitted?
For Asians, HBV is commonly transmitted from a chronically infected mother to her child at birth. HBV can also be transmitted by coming in contact with infected blood and through unprotected sex.
Why should Asian and Pacific Islander Americans be aware of hepatitis B?
Approximately 1 in 12 Asian Americans is infected with HBV.
Without appropriate monitoring or treatment, 1 in 4 will die from liver cancer or liver failure.
Although Asian Americans make up only 4% of the U.S. population, they account for over half of the estimated 1.25 million individuals with chronic HBV infection.
"If I have Hepatitis B, am I going to die from liver cancer or liver failure?"
People with chronic hepatitis B can lead completely normal and active lives. With regular testing and an ultrasound every year, liver disease can be detected early and treated quickly to prevent further damage, which will increase the probability of long-term survival.
Take Action
What YOU should do:
Get tested.
For you and your family, ask your doctor for the Hepatitis B antigen and antibody tests, which are not included in routine physical examination blood tests. If you are pregnant, ask your doctor for the Hepatitis B antigen test to see whether you are a Hepatitis B carrier.
Hepatitis B screening is also available at the AHI Free Clinic.
Get vaccinated.
If both your blood tests are negative, get the 3-dose Hepatitis B vaccine to protect you from future infection and the risk of liver cancer. All newborns should receive the Hepatitis B vaccine at birth.
In addition to screenings provided through the free clinic, AACS holds quarterly clinics specifically for Hepatitis B screening during the months of February, May, August, and November.

The illustrated chain of survival demonstrates how safety to life does not depend on any single safeguard — they must all work together within a balanced fire protection plan to save lives and protect property.
According to the NFPA, a successful balanced fire protection plan should be designed so that reliance for safety to life does not depend solely on any single safeguard. Additional safeguards shall be provided for life safety in case any single safeguard is ineffective due to inappropriate human actions or system failure.
