Fantasy literature challenges the reader's world view

According to Merja Polvinen of the Helsinki Collegiumfor Advanced Studies, fantasy has huge potential to challenge its readers."Fantasy literature works best in the kinds of texts that really make us question our every day assumptions about what is real and how the world works. At its most potent, fantasy can challenge generally accepted truths and entire world views."
Fantasy forces the reader to consider completely impossible ideas. Polvinen emphasises that through such challenging books, readers can develop qualities in themselves that otherwise might never emerge. These works do not correspond with readers' expectations, but rather compel them to find new ways to connect with the text.
Polvinen compares literature with an exercise machine: once you learn to position your body correctly and adjust the weights, it begins to work.
"And once you get it working, you can really pump up your mental and intellectual brawn."
Fantasy is a gym for the mind. "When you say 'orc', everyone knows exactly what you mean. But when a writer creates a truly original world that transcends our conventional thinking, fantasy means real innovation."

Finland schools: Subjects scrapped and replaced with "topics" as country reforms its education system

Finland is about to embark on one of the most radical education reform programmes ever undertaken by a nation state - scrapping traditional "teaching by subject" in favour of "teaching by topic".


Subject-specific lessons - an hour of history in the morning, an hour of geography in the afternoon - are already being phased out for 16-year-olds in the city's upper schools. They are being replaced by what the Finns call "phenomenon" teaching - or teaching by topic. For instance, a teenager studying a vocational course might take "cafeteria services" lessons, which would include elements of maths, languages (to help serve foreign customers), writing skills and communication skills.
More academic pupils would be taught cross-subject topics such as the European Union - which would merge elements of economics, history (of the countries involved), languages and geography.

Welcome to Deep Learning - "Google Brain"

Deep Learning is a new area of Machine Learning research, which has been introduced with the objective of moving Machine Learning closer to one of its original goals: Artificial Intelligence.

Researchers at Google have been working on a way to map the human brain. Using 10 million images pulled from YouTube videos and a connection of 16,000 processors, the team was able to teach the machines to recognize cats.

Chinese Search Giant Baidu Hires Andrew Ng Behind the "Google Brain".

Chinese search giant Baidu has stolen away the head of Google's "deep learning" project, dubbed "Google Brain." Andrew Ng is an artificial intelligence expert, Stanford professor and founder of online learning company Coursera.

Pinterest, Yahoo, Dropbox and the (kind of) quiet content-as-data revolution

The next wave in big data for web properties is the content users are producing.

Whether it's via unsupervised deep learning or some other machine learning technique, content data, not just behavior data, is the new battleground for learning about users and improving products along the way. "As I explained recently in a post laying out the landscape of deep learning projects, there's a battle brewing among companies such as Google, Facebook, Microsoft and Yahoo to bring in the best researchers. The better they can teach machines to understand what's in the images users are uploading and the sentences they're typing, the more intuitive and sticky they can make their services."

Astronomers Discover 'Once In A Generation' Supernova

Dr Mark Sullivan, the astrophysicist leading the Oxford team examining the supernova said: "This is accessible to anyone with a decent pair of binoculars. For many it could be a once in a lifetime chance to see a supernova blossom and then fade before their eyes. We may not see another like it for over 100 years."

Thank you Fantasio, for your inspiring work!

Fantasio is one of those InspirationPearls, of whom I want to tell you. This great artist is like a bright star, a jewel in the universe of surreal art. He has the gift to visualize dreams.

With his work "redtopia" he has given my dream of a "living book" a face. Through Fantasios eyes, the marriage between Internet and book is going to be a great idea. What a powerful talent!
