Today, President Obama is in Kenya—the 50th country he's visited as President. From his trip to Canada in 2009 to the present, go behind the lens for a look at photos of the President from every country he's traveled to: go.wh.gov/behind-the-lens

I hope World University and School's submission will help a lot of SF Bay Area High Schoolers with free (since CC) best STEM-centric college degrees which are enjoyable and excellent ... http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/The_College_at_World_University_and_School ...

Great - as I look through World University's main wiki Subjects' page for related-to-Bangladeshi Reshmaan Hussam's interests' open wikis (with much CC MIT OCW in 7 languages), I find - http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/Economics = http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/History, http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/Health_Sciences, http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/Animal_Behavior, as well as http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/Massachusetts_Institute_of_Technology_-_MIT and http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/Bangladesh, - all of which will facilitate offering free CC online degrees that are best STEM-centric. Yay, MIT for your vision in education!
For MIT Economics grad student Reshmaan Hussam, economics = history, health, and human behavior. Read more about her work: http://bit.ly/1ejoEGA

An Endless Garden of Creativity ... and in combination with a 
with a virtual
Harbin for STEM research based on making a virtual Harbin, in a kind
of film-realistic interactive buildable Google Earth, such as here -
http://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2015/07/jerdons-courser-visit-harbin-gate-now.html -

Try clicking on the first link and "walk" - with "Big Foot" steps - from the Harbin Gate into Middletown for a visit there.
Just an awesome edit. If folks don't get it after seeing this I am not sure what else to do :) Great you guys ended with Gentle Heron's statement: "There is a freedom that comes from being in the virtual world!"

Wow - Incredible, and amazing too for a virtual world in digital Goggles, for example, and for eventual STEM centric (think CC MIT OCW oceanographic research) -

as well as even virtual Watsu -

and related ethnographic research, e.g. re my actual~virtual Harbin Hot Springs' ethnographic book -

and related Harbin books to come.

All of these images were computer generated!

For the last few weeks, Googlers have been obsessed with an internal visualization tool that Alexander Mordvintsev in our Zurich office created to help us visually understand some of the things happening inside our deep neural networks for computer vision.  The tool essentially starts with an image, runs the model forwards and backwards, and then makes adjustments to the starting image in weird and magnificent ways.  

In the same way that when you are staring at clouds, and you can convince yourself that some part of the cloud looks like a head, maybe with some ears, and then your mind starts to reinforce that opinion, by seeing even more parts that fit that story ("wow, now I even see arms and a leg!"), the optimization process works in a similar manner, reinforcing what it thinks it is seeing.  Since the model is very deep, we can tap into it at various levels and get all kinds of remarkable effects.

Alexander, +Christopher Olah, and Mike Tyka wrote up a very nice blog post describing how this works:

There's also a bigger album of more of these pictures linked from the blog post:

I just picked a few of my favorites here.
