Meet Create Member +Michael A Koontz
Mike Koontz is a creative fine art photographer, fitness advocate and author, living and working out of the frozen north in the Vikings realm, Scandinavia. He occasionally writes fictional stories and books in between my fact based articles on health and fitness, sustainable living, scientific facts and the curious and delightful every day life on Planet Earth.

Building a Convolutional Neural Network using no libraries!
Convolutional Networks allow us to classify images, generate them, and can even be applied to other types of data. We're going to build one in numpy that can classify and type of alphanumeric character and it will run in a Flask web app.

I wanted to emphasize this from the paper: "A tremendous amount of time is spent on engineering and parameter sweeps; little to no time ... on data"

Life Saver Triboluminescence
Triboluminescence is an optical phenomenon that generates light through the breaking of chemical bonds in a material when it is pulled apart, ripped, rubbed, scratched, or crushed (fractoluminescence). An exact understanding of how the process works has yet to be established. The current theory involves electrical charge separation that results in ionization of the surrounding air, which produces the flash of light.
Mint-flavored Life Saver candies are an easy way to visualize this phenomenon with the naked eye. Crushing them with a hammer (or your teeth) in a dark room will generate bright blue sparks. This light is actually generated by a two-step process involving fluorescence, which is the emission of light by a substance that has absorbed another wavelength of light. The light released by triboluminescence is ultraviolet and therefore invisible to the human eye. However, the wintergreen oil used in mint flavoring is fluorescent, and converts the invisible ultraviolet light into visible blue light.
I highly recommend watching the source video from +SmarterEveryDay to see more slow motion footage of Life Savers being hammered and shot with a pellet gun.

Improved Photo Browsing
Hi friendly iOS users,
We’re proud to announce an improved photo browsing experience. Now, when you tap on a photo, you get a richer experience where you can (1) zoom-in (2) scroll to see more photos and (3) pinch or tap the icon in the top right to see a mosaic view of the photos in the stream. One of my favorite uses of this is to browse Leo Deegan’s photo collections, check it out and bring on the feedback!
