e Rolex Learning Center, conçu par le bureau d’architecture japonais de renommée internationale SANAA, est à la fois un laboratoire d’apprentissage, une bibliothèque abritant 500’000 ouvrages et un centre culturel international. Il est ouvert aussi bien aux étudiants qu’au public. Sur une surface continue de 20 000 m2 il offre services, bibliothèques, centres d’information, espaces sociaux, lieux d’études, restaurants, cafés et magnifiques extérieurs. Le bâtiment est extrêmement novateur, avec des pentes douces et des terrasses ondulant autour de «patios» intérieurs. Sans oublier les piliers quasiment invisibles qui soutiennent le toit courbe, une structure qui a exigé des méthodes de construction inédites.
«Le Rolex Learning Center illustre parfaitement notre école, où les frontières traditionnelles entre les disciplines sont dépassées, où les mathématiciens et les ingénieurs rencontrent les neuroscientifiques et les microtechniciens pour imaginer les technologies qui amélioreront notre quotidien. Nous invitons le public à découvrir cet espace afin qu'il comprenne que travailler dans le domaine scientifique, c’est participer au progrès de la société», déclare Patrick Aebischer, président de l’EPFL.

Tom Stevens, a disabled United States Air Force veteran, discusses learning through overcoming substance use and abuse in his talk "Learning from Addiction: So Hard to Change."
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.

The general memorial for the sailors fallen during the attack of 12/7/41 is on the waterfront of Honolulu. I am sure these visitors (they spoke with a Japanese Accent) learned their lesson.
They were obviously delightful.
My notes from final presentations of "Toys for Learning." I coached one of 12 teams in Terry Winograd and Bill Verplank's CS 247 HCI class at the d.school at Stanford. Full disclosure, my team produced the Doodle Tunes toy.

How do you measure learning? Can play be educational? What makes a toy captivating? What's the design challenges and opportunities with tangible interfaces? In the class "Interaction Design Studio" we set out 12 student teams with the mission to create "Toys for learning" with tangible interfaces.

The driver of the car in the foreground drove into the bollard, nearly reversed into a woman in a wheelchair, then nonchalantly parked on the double yellow. So glad I didn't bring my car here, if this is the standard of driving to be expected.
Ian Burrell very patiently teaching me how to drive the loco. The controls are actually very simple. Handbrake, forward and reverse gears, clutch wheel and throttle.
The boys in the back are being made to walk while they crouch as a form of punishment. Seen in Bhubaneshwar.
I had this "job" living in undergraduate residence halls being an all-purpose big-sister/organizer/mediator/task-master. I think I was also supposed to be an intellectual inspiration, but not so sure if that happened. As vaguely worded as the job was, it was intense and took up a lot of my dissertation time... but in return I had a place to live and discovered an energetic crew of student friends. The toughest part was having to draw the line on certain types of behavior according to the rules (some of which might be necessary, but didn't really make sense).
Here, we are learning meringue. We helped organize an event for international students - we had lots of great food. Fun and food seem to attract people. This was a pretty successful event as college programs go... managed to appeal to a wide spectrum of students who usually don't seek out stuff beyond their comfort zone. We had a blast.

Portraits of Hope's massive public art and civic project – involving more than 20,000 kids, adults and volunteers – that visually transformed Manhattan. By recruiting and utilizing more than 5,400 fully operational NYC taxis to participate in the unprecedented 4-month exhibition, the cabs and city streets of New York were transformed into a giant mobile canvas. The unprecedented event integrated two key characteristics that define the City: the saturation of the iconic taxis; and the vertical physicality of Manhattan. www.portraitsofhope.org

After we came back from a long holiday, I was surprised to see a love nest of Pigeon in our balcony. They get puffed up and move in short circles to display love for each other. During our absence they had their peace of time and the result was two eggs (second egg was a day younger) in one of my flower pot. They build relatively flimsy nests from sticks and other debris and used mud from the pot as a base. I saw both the parents caring for the young, which may leave the nest after seven to 28 days. Night time the Mother Pigeon use to hatch and lay them while the male use to do during the day time.
Mother Pigeon is more aggressive and attacks us when we go close. However during her attack she gets filled with air with puffs chest and feathers at the nape of the neck to appear larger and cute.
27th Dec2012
After some 17 days the first egg was hatched and later in the day the second egg also hatched and two yellow babies came out. These birdies are known as Squabs. They have wing like limbs and eyes closed. We provided them with water and millet (Bajra). Later after 4 days of nestling I noticed a peculiar behavior; the young ones will put their beak and hang inside the nostril of their parent bird. Later I checked this behavior on the internet and came to know that Pigeon is a rare bird (Flamingo and penguins are other two birds producing milk) which produces milk and those young ones were sucking through the lining of crop.
A crop (sometimes also called a croup or a craw, or ingluvies) is a thin-walled expanded portion of the alimentary tract used for the storage of food prior to digestion. This anatomical structure is found in a wide variety of animals and birds and is like a pouch.
Both sexes of doves and pigeons produce "crop milk" to feed to their young, secreted by a sloughing of fluid-filled cells from the lining of the crop. Pigeon's milk begins to be produced a couple of days before the eggs are due to hatch. Crop milk bears little resemblance to mammalian milk, being a semi-solid substance somewhat like pale yellow cottage cheese. It is extremely high in protein and fat and contains more of it than cow or human milk. The parents may cease to eat at this point in order to be able to provide the squabs (baby pigeons and doves) with milk uncontaminated by seeds, which the very young squabs would be unable to digest. The baby squabs are fed on pure crop milk for the first week or so of life. After this the parents begin to introduce a proportion of adult food, softened by spending time in the moist conditions of the adult crop, into the mix fed to the squabs, until by the end of the second week they are being fed entirely on softened adult food.

In just one week the baby pigeons start to change color. The underlying skin changes from pinky to grey and dark black. Their eyes were open now and a small humming chirping kind sound (Cooing) started coming from the nest. During the first week the mother used to sit on squabs to keep it warm and protect it.
11th Jan 2013
Their color is completely changed to grey and they look like pigeons J The white lower back of the pure Rock Dove (Feral Pigeon) is its best identification character, the two black bars on its pale grey wings are also distinctive. Still they had brown spikes like feathers on their neck and head.
With the time they became more noisy in the night and dull during day time.
The mother has completely abandoned the babies and only father used to turn up to teach how to eat and other birdie things.
22nd Jan 2013
The squab is now about 3 weeks old and is approaching the age when it should learn to fly. The flapping of wings and falling from the pot was very often and I used to lift them back to the nest. They started attacking me with their wings and beak.
