The Science behind the emotion.
Q: Why don’t we forget how to ride a bike?
A: Theory holds several clues to support the oft-heard phrase “just like riding a bike.”
Riding a bicycle is what motor control experts tend to refer to as a “continuous task,” compared to discrete tasks with definite endings (like turning a key to start your car). Peter van Kan, kinesiology professor at UW-Madison, said research has laid out three reasons why bicycle riding feels like second nature.
Discrete tasks draw more on verbal and cognitive skills, while continuous tasks are written into a more reflexive mechanism in the mind. Continuous tasks also require — and are more likely to be given — more attention and time during the learning process, and thus become further ingrained.
“One way to look at it is a continuous task may incorporate many discrete actions,” van Kan said. “(While learning) a continuous task you have many more opportunities to accomplish the many discrete tasks.”
Most important, van Kan said, might be the way we judge bicycle riders. If you learn to ride a bicycle, but then stay out of the saddle for several years, your first few cranks of the pedals post-lay-off may not make you look like Lance Armstrong.
“You may be a little unstable at first,” van Kan said. “But very quickly, as you are repeating those many discrete tasks, you are renewing what you learned years before and you may quickly be stable and appear to be a good bicycle rider.”
Machine learning is one of the rapidly developing fields of science, which uses artificial intelligence. This technology allows computers to learn, analyze and search for the most effective solution. Machine learning agency Riot can help to improve many of the processes taking place in the company.

TEDxPioneerValley, an independently organized event licensed by TED, explores learning that takes place in unexpected ways, cracking open traditional notions of how learning happens. The day-long conference at Amherst College Jan. 21, 2012, is presented in collaboration with the Holyoke Community College Adult Learning Center, Amherst College, Smith College and Mount Holyoke College.

I'm not sure if this will appeal to everyone but I quite like it, I took loads of pictures of these cygnets ( seems funny now calling them cygnets ! ) on what must have been one of their first flights but none of them were really sharp. I couldn't focus on the eye without chopping them in half so just had to focus on the body and pray, I know I could've changed the focus points but that would be fiddly at the best of times !
PS quite chuffed the Stop The Cull site are using one of my badger pics :

I know it wasn't taken at night but an excuse to mention one of my favourite Jimi Hendrix songs, ' Night Bird Flying ' :
Doug Thomas, co-author of "A New Culture of Learning," spoke at TEDxUFM in Guatemala City on August 19, 2012. Then he signed my iPad notes!

Flame is a charity that helps educate slum kids in Pnomh Penh, the capitol of Cambodia. These kids are the marginalised, the forgotten. Flame educates them, so that they may become leaders of the future.
I was lucky enough to visit some of their classrooms and meet these amazing kids.
These kids were in the worst of the worst slums. Surrounded by the smell of raw sewerage, plastic dumped with foul substances all around and the ground made up of old cockle shells, the charity brings books and chairs everyday to these kids.

Seeing that a few flickr folks visited U of C yesterday and got around to nearly all of my favorite places inspired me to look through some pics i had harboring space on the hard drive. I took this one recently, getting to work a little early one day to get back to Harper just as the sun was rising. I really want to grab a 360 degree pano of this room, but that will have to wait. Here, I just stitched together 5 or 6 vertical frames. It's definitely not perfect but I liked the warped perspective in this one actually.

Across the clouds I see my shadow fly
Out of the corner of my watering eye
A dream unthreatened by the morning light
Could blow this soul right through the roof of the night
am Kelly Dumont from Canyons School District in Sandy, Utah.
This is my primary learning space as others share their thoughts and ideas online.
