Google Tech Talks June 26, 2007 ABSTRACT This is the Google campus version of Stats 202 which is being taught at Stanford this summer. I will follow the material from the Stanford class very closely. That material can be found at www.stats202.com. The main topics are exploring and visualizing data, association analysis, classification, and clustering. The textbook is Introduction to Data Mining by Tan, Steinbach and Kumar. Googlers are welcome to attend any classes which they think might be of interest to them.

In this video, I deal with the perhaps unintended or least recognized consequences of obesity and losing weight. That is social and psychological aspects of losing weight or why you may be self-sabotaging yourself from losing weight. Many of us appreciate or utilize our fat as an insulator from the outside world. Our obesity prevents us from having to deal to with certain situation, like a poor marriage, or gives us an excuse for something we should be doing, such as exercising or being a good parent. Here is a list from Tracy Rose on some potential sel-sabotaging reasons (http://tinyurl.com/5scwqs): * Worrying how youll be accepted at your goal weight. * Letting fear of life without the fat barrier get the best of you. * Being afraid of how youll respond when people show they are attracted to you. * Fear of losing yourself to the new, slim verson of you. * Fear of failure and fear of success. * Wish not to deal with jealous friends. * You wont be able to use fat as an excuse to stay on the sidelines of life anymore. * You think people will have higher expectation of you after you lose weight. * You are unhappy and feel undeserving of success. There are certain ones in that list that I can definitely relate to thinking and that kept me consciously or sub-consciously fat for many years. The quote re: fat as an insulator came from this blog post ( http://www.ladymisstree.com/callipygian/archives/why_i_like_being_fat_2006_01_03.html) Unfortunately, when we lose the weight, all the above psychological issues don't immediately disappear either. Sometimes there are real issues underlying these issues that removing the insulator or the excuse forces us to deal with. Some of these are internal to ourselves as we may begin to treat people differently for better or for worse. Weight loss will typically lead to a better self-image of ourselves. Our children however may be unaccustomed to an active parent in their life, or we may become judgemental of our less fit friends unfairly. Even our most bedrock relationships, our marital partners will likely be affected by our weight loss. Testosterone, a fat soluble hormone, will get released as the fatty acids in the fat cells are consumed. This typically increases the libido (sex drive), and according to studies, weight loss is responsible for a better sex life, better orgasms, and happier marital relations. Significant weight loss in morbidly obese people however also raises the divorce rate over the norm. Here are a few studies: * Partnership, Sexuality, and Sexual Disorders in Morbidly Obese Women: Consequences of Weight Loss After Gastric Banding (http://www.springerlink.com/content/h3544l0548568505/) * Surgery for obesity and marriage quality (http://tinyurl.com/6jv4pe) * Removal of a Psychosomatic Symptom: Effects on the Marriage (http://tinyurl.com/6dawoe) I think it is pretty conclusive that after weight loss we are seen differently. To some extent that is correct. We aren't the same person as we just did something AWESOME and life-changing, but to another, we are still the core personality. Dealing with that dichotomy is just reality for those who have finally achieved their weight loss success. Atkins Diet:...

The UCSD School of Medicine and the Diana Padelford Binkley Foundation bring you the newest installments of this innovative series targeted at successfully managing pain in women. Studies show women often receive inadequate care as pain manifests uniquely in the sexes and requires distinctive treatment strategies. In this program, Melanie A. Greenberg, Ph.D., a leading expert from Alliant International University, talks about the psychosocial fallout due to chronic pain.

Phd Title: Archaeometallurgical and Art Historical Studies on South Indian metal icons: The enigma of the dancing panchaloha (five-metalled) icons' Thesis combines materials science studies, archaeoymetallurgy and ethnoarchaeology related to south Indian bronze casting traditions (1996) Institute of Archaeology, University College London Presently Associate Professor, National Institute of Advanced Studies, Bangalore. Archaeometallurgical and art historical investigations on south Indian bronzes: The enigma of the dancing five-metalled icons' The dance tries to convey that the Phd attempted to study how medieval south Indian bronzes (c. 8th-18th century) such as the celebrated Nataraja bronze (of the Hindu God Siva dancing with the lifted leg) were made and that archaeometallurgical studies of the aspects of ancient mining and metallurgy, bronze metallurgy and making of bronze icons, were used to understand better the history of technology and also in the characterization of artifacts and their stylistic and provenance attributions. An image of the Nataraja bronze is also installed in the CERN cosmic lab and its imagery is often thought to convey metaphoric aspects related to cosmic creation and destruction. In its expressive aspects the dance also conveys how studies made by the researcher of the Nataraja bronze, often referred to as the Cosmic Dance of Siva, that its iconographic aspects may have been inspired by observations of the star positions in and around the Orion constellation. The dance also shows somewhere more at the beginning and also at the end the activities of ancient mining of digging, ore collection, washing, beneficiation and collecting of ore and smelting, using bellows and fire etc, retrieving metal and leaving behind slag which can be studied to understand the processes. In vivid detail, the processes of making of the bronze icons that were studied and re-constructed is evoked, the lost wax process whereby the model is carved of wax and then invested with three layers of refractory material of various grades, and then the wax melted out to leave behind a cavity into which the metal is poured to give the metal image, and the process of melting using bellows etc. It is also shown that the images are described metaphorically as five-metalled images and an attempt was made to study the elements. In the end for instance the process of polishing samples and the ways in which the minute constituents of the composition, trace elements, lead isotope ratios, of artifacts, ores and slags are used to understand the larger picture of the technology of the making of the images and the issues relevant to their art historical understanding of stylistic and chronological classification and provenance of metal. In the pure dance sequences an attempt is made to evoke in an artistic way the sounds and activities of chiseling and finishing of the bronze image and modeling in 3D of wax and the activities of tunneling shafts and mining (to collect the ore for smelting) Sharada...
From: Eros Unredeemed by Dieter Duhm (p.175) Life in our own organism and life in the biosphere around us are made up of the same energy: the universal life energy. In the courses of being discovered it has recieved many names, such as Chi, Mana, Prana, Orgone, etc.; many different aspects of it have been described, rarely however, its sexual aspect (exept in Wilhelm Reich's work). Sexual energy, however, is one of the main aspects of universal life energy within any organism. Universal life energy appears in various states of matter, either more solidified or more refined. It affects everything that has to do with our sexuality as well as our emotions and thoughts, and plays a decisive role in determining we are ill or in good health. It affects all outer processes of growth and creation, overall natural circulatory systems and even the weather. It forms the psychological as well as the meteorological atmosphere. Spontaneous changes in the weather with intense psychological events are based on this interconnection. The entire biosphere possesses a unified energy system, a unified system of information stored in the genetic code, and a unified system of matter consisting of chemical elements and their properties. In addition it can apparently withstand an enormous amount of strain and - due to its inherent power of self-healing - can regenerate itself with nearly inexhaustible power. Otherwise there would no longer be any sprouting, blossoming, singing or laughing, after all that we have inflicted upon it for millenia. On the one hand we are facing outer destruction, consisting of the extermination of large populations and species, the pollution of the air and the contamination of the water, the breeding of fur-bearing animals and livestock, the hunting of whales and the killing of seals, etc. On the other hand we are facing destruction from within, consisting of a lack of meaning and purpose in life, a fear of life itself, the loss of the ability to love, and psychosomatic illnesses of various kinds. Together they exert such a great amount of strain on the global organism that it is only a matter of time before it snaps. The crises in our inner and outer environments are two sides of the same problem and can be understood and solved only by adopting an overall view.

The Heart Sutra Avalokiteshvara, the Bodhisattva of Compassion, meditating deeply on Perfection of Wisdom, saw clearly that the five aspects of human existence are empty*, and so released himself from suffering. Answering the monk Sariputra, he said this: Body is nothing more than emptiness, emptiness is nothing more than body. The body is exactly empty, and emptiness is exactly body. The other four aspects of human existence -- feeling, thought, will, and consciousness -- are likewise nothing more than emptiness, and emptiness nothing more than they. All things are empty: Nothing is born, nothing dies, nothing is pure, nothing is stained, nothing increases and nothing decreases. So, in emptiness, there is no body, no feeling, no thought, no will, no consciousness. There are no eyes, no ears, no nose, no tongue, no body, no mind. There is no seeing, no hearing, no smelling, no tasting, no touching, no imagining. There is nothing seen, nor heard, nor smelled, nor tasted, nor touched, nor imagined. There is no ignorance, and no end to ignorance. There is no old age and death, and no end to old age and death. There is no suffering, no cause of suffering, no end to suffering, no path to follow. There is no attainment of wisdom, and no wisdom to attain. The Bodhisattvas rely on the Perfection of Wisdom, and so with no delusions, they feel no fear, and have Nirvana here and now. All the Buddhas, past, present, and future, rely on the Perfection of Wisdom, and live in full enlightenment. The Perfection of Wisdom is the greatest mantra. It is the clearest mantra, the highest mantra, the mantra that removes all suffering. This is truth that cannot be doubted. Say it so: Gaté, gaté, paragaté, parasamgaté. Bodhi! Svaha! Which means... Gone, gone, gone over, gone fully over. Awakened! So be it! * Emptiness is the usual translation for the Buddhist term Sunyata (or Shunyata). It refers to the fact that no thing -- including human existence -- has ultimate substantiality, which in turn means that no thing is permanent and no thing is totally independent of everything else. In other words, everything in this world is interconnected and in constant flux. A deep appreciation of this idea of emptiness thus saves us from the suffering caused by our egos, our attachments, and our resistance to change and loss. Prajna Paramita...

Google Tech Talks November 18, 2008 ABSTRACT Community evolves from conversation. And an evolved community inherently evolves the conversation. How do you create genuine conversation for many people that don't always know each other yet? How do you create conditions that encourage trust and cross-connections? How do you tummel or draw people out and build the collective energy? Innovative comedian Heather Gold explains basic differences between presentation and conversation and the assumptions underneath each. More entertainingly (and usefully) she demonstrates these ideas by creating a great conversation in the room so that all can feel the difference. Speaker: Heather Gold Im a nationally-touring comedian and playwright who makes authentic conversations happen. Ive known business and technology audiences since I began to work the web in 1995. I have a surprisingly respectable past working in strategy roles with many Internet start-ups, New Line Cinema, Knowledge Adventure, and Apple Computers first music group which pioneered webcasting. Smart, funny audiences at my Internet Roast inspired me to open source aspects of my show. I continue to mix theatre, stand-up and aspects of the Net to create interactive performance. I also work in one-to-many mediums: I wrote Alan Cummings material as the host of the Webbys and provide commentary for media like the San Jose Mercury News, TheStreet.com and CBC Radio. Much to my parents delight, I have degrees from Yale and Northwestern Law. My unusually-named talk show mashes up extremely diverse guests and the audience around a universal theme. I promise you that I will never use the words leverage or synergize unless its for a very important lifesaving purpose. How to be a...

So here we are, with another side project that isn't directly related to the original schedule for Season 2. Damnit, I'm so easily sidetracked... Everyone loves the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. If you don't, you're either racist towards turtles or just unable to accept the fact that they are full of everything awesome. They were so awesome that they had video games made for them. In particular, the arcade games were possibly the best of them all, including... TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTLES (1989) Beat 'Em Up action with up to four players, being able to choose your favorite turtle and walking the streets looking for some ninja ass to kick... oh yeah... that's the good stuff! For Xbox360 owners, this game was added to the Xbox Live Market not too long ago (I don't know exactly when, and quite frankly I don't care) and boy was I excited to hear it! This game made me so happy when I was a kid, so I had to take it for another ride and it hasn't lost it's charm at all in the time that it's been out. However, it gets better... Online support: Up to four players can play at once... ON-FREAKIN'-LINE!!!!! The game's online mode has a few challenging aspects to it that are different from the single player aspects, the main one being that you only have 20 lives per player. For anyone who's played this game, 20 lives is just barely enough to beat this game if you have no idea what you're doing, so you better hope you have a good team with you if you're planning on winning this badboy (they made it a god damned achievement, so you'd better hope I want to win it!) I got a group of us together and started kicking shell... and out of pure boredom, I also recorded it. I wanted to see what audio-recording from Xbox Live's Voice Chat feature would be like in recorded videos, but it doesn't look like it turned out that well when I brought it over... either way, I'll be getting the rest of these up sometime this week if I have time. Enjoy watching the massacre! (P.S.: To all the scholars out there, the title should give you an idea of how it ends. It's not meant to be a spoiler or anything, more of a VGW: Teenage...
Film#2 In Jan 2007 whilst researching Stop Animation, I stumbled across Blunty3000s' Lego Stopmotion Animations. I hadn't considered Lego up to that point, but loved his films. I have always had a love of Lego and it seemed the obvious medium for me from that point on. As a little 'thank you' to Blunty for getting me into this seriously addictive and silly pass time, I decided that my second film should be a mini homage to Blunty. Love him or hate him, there is no denying that he was once a prolific brickfilmer. Whilst not the most artistic cinematography wise, he was one of the funniest. I was stuck for a story line for a while, then I am sorry to say, I saw Bluntys VLog entry 'C*** in a Sock' video, which was a test by Blunty to see how far he could push the YouTube censorship boundaries. Needless to say, a video of himself naked except for a sock on a certain part of his anatomy was quickly banned by the YouTube censor. However it gave me an idea... For those of you that follow Bluntys' animations, he has a Lego minifig that looks quite like him and he used this a lot in his films as his signature minifig, or sigfig for short. I have taken the liberty of using some of Bluntys' Lego animation characters and set props for this parody, which I hope he enjoys and doesn't mind me using these aspects of his films. This is my second film and I wanted to experiment and get some practice with different aspects of Brickfilming: 1. Minifig running. marching & walking cycles and vehicle animation 2. Lighting effects (Grumpy Monkey Cafe window and entrance lighting, inside the Dumpster in the alley) 3. Masking (when 'The Sock' is hiding behind the lamp post) 4. Creative filming angles (inside the dumpster in the alley, Sniper over shoulder shot ) 5. Some minor post production effects (Police motorcycle lights, the 'Grumpy Monkey Cafe' neon window sign, SWAT APC headlights and the Sniper rifle scope) If you want to learn how to make your own Brick Films, please visit the best site there is on the subject: http://www.bricksinmotion.com The forums there are full of friendly and helpful people with loads of advice to share. The website itself is still under construction at this time, but will hopefully be up and running soon. If you enjoyed this film please subscribe to this channel and why not check out my new channel: Tutorials4Brickfilms http://uk.youtube.com/user/Tutorials4... Cheers Blunty and I hope you get back to Lego animation soon, as we are getting withdrawal symptoms. Until then in the inimitable words of Blunty 'Catch you next time!' The Sock
The world of Amoi was originally to be an idyllic haven free of the scourge of human government. The needs of its people would be attended to by an Artificial Intelligence known as Jupiter. In time, the Super Computer had an inintended side effect; it gained sentience. In the time thereafter, the computer began to control all aspects of human life, including the reproduction of the very citizens it was originally intended to nurture. Naturally, the humans would make attempts to try and retake control. To curtail this, the very few females were bred, and the in the resultant male dominated society, gangs ran rampant and sexual slavery fast became a way of life. Thus was born the practice of owning a pet. Riki who was the product of an unsanctioned breeding, finds himself as the pet of Iason Mink, a member of the ruling class in Tanagura. In this episode, Riki infiltrates the borders of Tanagura with the intent of stealing a car, and is caught at this by a gang of residents. Before they can kill him, however, Iason Mink happens by and saves him. The high price of this rescue is that Riki is taken on as a pet. Iason, who is sterile and forbidden from even egaging in sexual relations, does the unthinkable, and falls in love with his slave (or 間の楔,-Wedge...
