Aina; ChangeMature
I lay on my bed, nodding my head to the music I was playing. Sighing, I rolled onto my side and snatched up my diary.
I hadn't written in it since... since the incident with Pho. I wouldn't dare. I knew Pho would read it, so he'd gain more information about me to scribble in his dumb notebook.
I stared at it with a look of contempt on my face, I was going to burn it. I had to. It was the only way to dispose of unwanted emotions and memories. Maybe the part of my that loved my brother would die with it? Who knows, I'd have to do it later.
Because I'd done something that I know would anger Pho. I did it on purpose. I got a date.
I smirked to myself, standing up, the fast tempo of the music fulling my drive to piss Pho off. I stuffed my diary in my draw, hoping Pho wouldn't guess it was there.
But I don't think he's been slipping into my room at night anymore, because he's been shutting himself up in his room lately. He only shows up when he needs the loo or that one time when Cira came home.
What a spiteful little bastard he is, showing up with that ridiculous smirk on his face mocking Damien and my older sibling. I really, honestly dislike him. Because hate is a strong word-- Toss it, I really hate him.
I walked out of my room, slamming the door shut behind me, leaving my music on because I had a strong feeling Pho was listening to it. I planted a evil smirk on my own face as I knocked on Cira's door.
'Did you get it?' I called through.
'Yeah, come on in.' Cira said in a flustered voice, I sauntered in, closing the door tight shut behind me.
'I don't even want to know what you two were doing.' I muttered, blushing a little. She and Damien were sat on the bed together, looking sly but awkward, 'thanks for this. It made me sick to look in the mirror.'
'You don't need to do this, honey.' Cira said softly as she hunted through her draws, looking for the two items I had requested, 'you never see him any more anyway.'
'I don't care. I see him in my reflection. Hah, that sounded really cheesy.' I snickered, running a hand through my hair.
She threw me two small items, which I only just caught.
'Fake tan and blonde hair dye. . .you really are weird. Your hair is awesome. . .' Damien said, shaking his head.
'Mhmm. I know. But it looks like his and I refuse to look like. . .Pho,' it was hard for me to say his name, 'anymore.'
I nodded curtly, exiting the room. As I entered the bathroom, I noticed Pho's door was open a crack. I could have sworn I saw a glistening, angry eye through there. But when I blinked... it was gone.

Allen & Overy (A&O) telecoms partner Chris Watson has become the latest partner to leave the magic circle firm.
Watson, who joined A&O as a partner from Simmons & Simmons in 2000, will join Dechert's competition practice in London at the end of the month. He announced his resignation yesterday (13 February).
Commenting on his departure Watson said: "Dechert has a very good competition practice in the [US] and is a successful firm with a clear strategy of which what I do is an integral part. They have identified the key areas they want to be active in and competition is one of those."
Watson's recent experience includes advising the World Bank on the reform of Lebanese telecoms law, the Jordanian Telecommunications Regulatory Commission on the implementation of a new licensing regime and the Office of the Telecommunications Authority in Hong Kong in the drafting of its competition guidelines.
Last year A&O suffered a series of high-profile partner depatures. Finance partner Clive Wells quit the firm to join Skadden Arps Slate Meagher & Flom in December. Meanwhile, heavy-hitting leverage finance partner Tony Keal left A&O in October for Simpson Thacher & Bartlett.

Maria Black
About the Brand
Combining a refined aesthetic finesse in delicate metal pieces, the jewellery designed by Maria Black is unique, graphic and versatile. She works with the body as a canvas on which everyone can express their individuality, affixing a kaleidoscope of shapes: stacking triangle rings, earrings to put in the back of the ear, necklaces to overlap, her pieces marry and blend perfectly, creating real synergies between them. Each in its own way is a unique piece of jewellery which will combine perfectly with all of the Black Maria creations or incorporate gracefully to create an individual piece of art.
Danish designer Maria Black launched her first collection in 2010, inspired by precious metals and a conceptual approach to costume jewellery. Born in Copenhagen, and nourished by her travels throughout Europe, Brazil and India, she translates her Nordic origins in sleek and minimalist jewellery, where she combines the most sensual and strong pieces, inspired by her travels and the art of body adornment. Since the beginning, Black Maria's strong and unique approach has attracted many celebrities such as Scarlett Johansson, Rihanna, Nicole Richie, Maggie Gyllenhaal, Lady Gaga, Miley Cyrus, Jessica Alba and Beyoncé.
Spring-Summer 2017 Collection
Based on a Neo-minimalist identity, the Black Maria collection revisits the iconic pieces of the Danish designer with a sleek and airborne treatment. True to her signature look, her jewelry collection marries, alternates, accumulates and mixes, to create a unique look. In an era of mass consumerism, the designer questions and refocuses on individuality, encouraging us to create our own silhouette, with single earrings, jewelry accumulations and peculiar ways to wear the pieces.

Giants touch down in Indy!
@SportsBata ..nuff said
#SuperBowlXLVI The NY Giants touched down in Indy, yesterday! The Giants are bold, confident, and ready to take on the New England Patriots! The crew: Eli, Coach Coughlin, Cruz, Nicks, Umenyiora, Tuck, Kiwanuka, Webster, and Rolle rolled into Indy on a charter plane out of Newark. Check out some comments from media day!
"We wouldn't have boarded the plane if we didn't expect to win," safety Antrel Rolle said when asked about coming to the Super Bowl with the mentality of expecting to hoist the Vince Lombardi trophy. "I think that is the bottom line."
"We have come here for one thing and one thing only which is to win," Rolle added. "We are expecting to win this game come Sunday." – espn
"We don't feel like we're the underdogs this time," the veteran defensive end Justin Tuck said during a session with reporters yesterday shortly after the Giants' arrival at their downtown Indianapolis hotel for Super Bowl XLVI. – nypost
Defensive end Justin Tuck said of the Giants' confidence: "It can be misunderstood for cockiness, and whatever else. At the end of the day, when we step on that football field, we believe we are going to win. If you ask any athlete and he tells you anything different, then there is something wrong."
"We're very confident," right guard Chris Snee said. "We feel like we're playing good football right now. The thing is, you have two teams with great momentum — New England has won 10 games in a row."
"I read his exact words and the way he phrased it," linebacker Mathias Kiwanuka said. "When you get to this level and when you get to this game, you are confident in yourself. I wouldn't expect anything else. Now, if he comes out and throws out some legitimate trash talk, then we'll talk." – espn
"Being from a small school, I understand how that whole thing goes. I wasn't 6-5, 220 pounds or I didn't have off-the-wall statistics," Cruz said yesterday, when asked about the irony of being ignored in Indy two years ago and returning to the city now for the Super Bowl. "But I'd rather be here for the Super Bowl now than the combine." – nypost


text: According to the CDC, antibiotic resistance is leading to higher treatment costs, longer hospital stays, and unnecessary deaths. The CDC estimates that nearly 100,000 people die from infections they pick up in the hospital every year. The vast majority are caused by bacteria that have developed resistance to the antibiotics used to treat them.Antibiotic-resistant superbugs from the farm are showing up on meat and poultry and causing serious illness and even death. Consumer Reports found in 2010 that two-thirds of the chicken samples it tested were contaminated with salmonella or campylobacter or both and that more than 60 percent of those organisms were antibiotic-resistant. Earlier this year, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration asked drug companies and livestock growers to voluntarily eliminate growth promotion uses of antibiotics over the next three years. Consumers Union has long urged the FDA to take stronger action and has called on the agency to restrict the use of antibiotics in food animals to the treatment of veterinarian-diagnosed sick animals only. In June, Consumers Union launched its Meat Without Drugs campaign to encourage grocery stores to move away from selling meat and poultry raised on a steady diet of antibiotics. The consumer group is initially targeting Trader Joe's, the national specialty grocer, because it already offers some antibiotic-free meat and poultry and has taken recent stands in support of other sustainable purchasing practices. "The threat to public health from the overuse of antibiotics in food animals is real and growing," said Halloran. "Trader Joe's can be a leader in the campaign to protect public health and preserve the effectiveness of antibiotics by selling only meat raised without drugs." The Meat Without Drugs campaign, which includes more than a dozen consumer, environmental, and animal welfare organizations, has presented Trader Joe's with a petition signed by more than a half million consumers urging the grocer to stop selling meat and poultry raised on antibiotics. Trader Joe's has been unwilling to meet with Consumers Union to discuss the issue.

Tainted Saint, Chapter Seventy-FiveMature
Amadeo watched sorrowfully as Cassandra left the room. Somehow, he understood that Cassandra was not leaving for good, but he could not help but sense that something terrible was about to transpire.
What that terrible thing was, the King did not know.
Marcos had come up behind him. Knowing he was about to receive a lecture from his friend about how Cassandra was not fitting for the kingdom, Amadeo chose to leave the room. He was not in the mood to listen to his friend's complaints about his choice of dinner companions.
The wind bit at Amadeo's face as he entered the gardens. He needed some time to think; he needed some time to gather himself so that he could see straightly, instead of being blinded by his anguish over Cassandra's quick exit from the room.
If it had merely been that Cassandra had left the room, Amadeo would have been less doleful. It was only the ominous foreshadowing he felt that caused his thoughts to run hand-in-hand with agony.
Lowering his head, Amadeo tried to turn his mind to other things. He still had paperwork to do. He still had people to attend to. He intended to check up on Lemuel Morris. There were plenty of things he intended to do - if Cassandra would only stop plaguing his mind.
There was little chance of that, he could easily see.
And so, the King waited, hoping that Cassandra would turn up, a smile on that beautiful face of hers, replacing the brokenness in her eyes with a hope that could never fade...
...and knowing that such a desire was only wishful thinking.

I think its rather about how long (time) it would take and not about how much money.
The sentence could mean both. It depends on context.

It's a pretty well established fact that sex is good for both your body and mind, but how much sex is actually normal?
Well, science finally has this elusive answer.
Researchers at the Kinsey Institute were keen to find out how many times on average we all get laid, so they decided to interview a load of couples about how often they get down and dirty.
And the results? Well, it's what you'd probably expect. 18 to 29-year-olds got the most action, at around 112 times a year (that's roughly twice a week).
However, it only goes downhill from there, with people in their thirties only having on average 86 sexual encounters in 12 months (seven times a month or once a week).
And for those in their forties, they have even longer dry patches, with only an average of 69 times per year. That's roughly five to six times a month. Ouch.
Researchers also found out that 13 per cent of married couples have sex only a few times a year, 45 per cent do it a few times a month, 34 per cent go at it two or three times a week, and seven per cent of couples get hot and heavy four or more times every week.
But as other research suggested, more sex doesn't always equal more happiness… apparently.

Cara: Night outMature
We were getting ready and Anna kept repeating 'on fleek' until I threatened to put her on an early flight to America. Only then did she shut up and give us a break from the awful internet slang.
"Are you guys ready?" Liam appeared in the door way with a pair of grey school shorts on, held up by braces over a blue shirt. He'd got a couple of painted on freckles and some glasses on.
"Ahem, Liam. Guys are supposed to look nerdy." Anna frowned at him.
"Isn't this nerdy?" He looked down at himself, confused.
"In a 'Liam makes everything look hot' kind of way." I replied. "If you put a bow tie on you'd still be hot."
"Hey, bow ties are cool."
"Yes Doctor."
Anna frowned, too busy fidgeting with her outfit and Megan's hand to pay much attention. "Doctor Who?"
Liam and I roared with laughter.
"There's no bigger nerd than the Doctor sometimes," I admitted. "Liam, I accept your school boy/ Doctor Who outfit. Are the others ready?"
"Almost. Callum's here, with Lily. I'm going to keep them company with a few beers. You coming?"
"Well I'm ready, but I'm not drinking. I'll join though." I smiled and then turned to the others. "You two, my room is off limits for sexy times. I swear to god if I suspect anything, and you know I always know when it's happened, I will kill you both and take the tickets for America for Liam and I to holiday with."
"Genius. Wait... can't we do that even if they don't have sex?" Liam winked.
"Screw you Liam." Anna laughed, throwing a pillow at him.
"NO! No screwing!" I demanded dramatically.
We left the other two in fits of laughter and headed downstairs. Callum looked adorably nerdy, and Lily, who I'd only seen a couple of times since we met, was HAWT.
"Hey Cara, eyeballs back in skull please. She's all mine." Callum grinned as Lily blushed and waved at me, embarrassed.
"Well Callum, I didn't want to say it but, you did well my friend." Liam shook his hand and laughed before grabbing a beer. I settled for water.
"Honestly, you guys are so nice." Lily said, her cheeks still flushed.
"It's because you're so adorable and innocent and we don't want to ruin you." I grinned.
"I was adorable and innocent once." Ali appeared, rubbing her tummy. "Before I fell for a guy and got pregnant and engaged... although we all know we're telling baby that it was engaged and then pregnant RIGHT?"
"Yes ma'am." Liam saluted.
"So we're lying to baby before baby is born?" I queried.
"Baby will be lied to if it means he or she grows up respecting people and being careful."
"Woah, momma bear is growling at full force!" Liam laughed. "Speaking of full force... where is the formidable lesbian duo? Thought they weren't supposed to be having sex in your room-?"
"ANNA!" I yelled and heard a giggle before the two thundered down the stairs, holding hands.
"No sex! Promise!" Megan laughed as Anna chuckled and kissed her cheek.
I pretended to wretch and vomit over the side of the chair until Anna jumped at me. I ran giggling to the door.
"Can we go to a bar already?"
"You're not even drinking, why are you excited?" Liam asked.
"Because I'm with my friends, and two of them are buggering off to AMERICA soon so I have to squeeze in as much time as possible."
"Fair enough."
We ended up heading out half an hour later and went to a bar called Folie's. The music was loud and we laughed and chatted in the corner before Anna announced that we had to go to a club, NOW. We returned to our favourite, with Liam keeping an eye out for Kay, or Lady Lush, so he could grab him/her to join us.
"LADIES!" Lady Lush appeared in full drag, a fabulous blue gown on with a long blonde wig.
"HI!" Anna yelled back, hugging her. "I'm leaving!"
"I know girl, that's why I've got this." A bottle of champagne appeared, surrounded by gloriously red fingernails.
"She's drunk." I muttered to Liam who laughed and went to say hi to Kay.
"I'm going to go and get a drink of water." I called to Megan, and disappeared in to the crowd in the direction of the outdoor bar. Once outside I breathed in the cool air gratefully and made my way through the crowd to try and get a drink.

I like the perspective of this one. These folks don't look as upset as the others.

Such height, great black and white, suits this shot well. It would loose it's impact if it was in colour.

The Prime Minister yesterday went on television to re-iterate his concerns that child-killer Mary Bell had made money from a book about her life. "I still think it is wrong that people make money out of crimes they have committed," Tony Blair said.
The Independent has learnt that the memoirs of reformed IRA leader Sean O'Callaghan are to be serialised later this month in the Daily Telegraph. His book, titled The Informer, earned him a large advance, reported to be pounds 175,000, from Transworld Publishers.
Mr O'Callaghan, 42, a former Sinn Fein councillor who joined the IRA at 15, pleaded guilty in 1990 to murdering Peter Flanagan, a Royal Ulster Constabulary detective, and Eva Martin, an Ulster Defence Regiment soldier, in 1974.
After the killings, he changed his view of the IRA and became a valuable informer for the Garda. Since his release from prison, after serving only eight years of his sentence, he has campaigned for peace and become a respected authority on Northern Ireland affairs.
Mr O'Callaghan was this week arrested by the Garda in Dublin and questioned about matters, including the death of John Corcoran an IRA man and Garda informant, murdered in 1985. He was yesterday freed without charge.
Transworld issued a statement yesterday describing Mr O'Callaghan as "an authority on the IRA and a working journalist" who had spent 20 years "working ceaselessly to destroy terrorism".
His agent, Bill Hamilton, said: "He's a man who risked his life under the most dangerous circumstances to subvert terrorism and then handed himself in to prison in order to pay his debts."
Confirming that the Daily Telegraph would be serialising the book this month, he said Mr O'Callaghan would be "coming absolutely clean" about his killings and his role in the IRA.
The Daily Telegraph refused to comment. Earlier this week its editor, Charles Moore, wrote an article entitled: "Why we refused to serialise the story of Mary Bell." He wrote that Bell had not received any pardon for her crimes and "remains guilty".
Instead the book, Cries Unheard, was published by the Times, which paid pounds 40,000 for the serialisation rights. The author, Gitta Sereny paid Bell a sum, which unconfirmed reports put at pounds 50,000, for her collaboration in the project.
Yesterday the Attorney General, John Morris, said that after two days of investigation he could find no redress in the law for ordering Bell to repay the money.

Not as close Aerosmith members put differences aside to tour
By Cindy Martin
LONDON (Reuters) - Aerosmith are not as close as they once were, but the "Boston bad boys" have put their considerable differences behind them to tour Europe for the first time in three years, guitarist Joe Perry said.
Perry, who led a recent uprising against lead singer Steven Tyler, said of his bandmate that he was "stronger than ever" despite a stint in rehab for an addiction to prescription painkillers related to 10 years of performance injuries.
Perry also played down the unusually public dust-up between members of a group whose history has been littered with divisions, drug abuse and debauchery.
"He didn't really leave the band," Perry said of Tyler.
"He made it very clear from the very beginning that he wasn't going to leave the band and he just wanted some solo time," the guitarist added in an interview.
He was referring to Tyler's expressed wish to take a break from Aerosmith in order to write a memoir and focus on what he cryptically termed "brand Tyler."
"The press kind of twisted it around to sell papers but you know the bottom line is I just knew things were just going to work themselves out," he told Reuters.
"And he is back and he is stronger than ever." Continued...

Knowing HOW TO MANAGE SALES PEOPLE is always a big concern amongst business management teams. One technique to increasing the productivity of a sales team that has been used for decades is by providing a commission for the sales reps. With a commission system, sales people receive their monthly salary and also receive reward or bonus if they execute additional sales.
However, in a big organization that has lots of sales people or staff, it can be difficult to monitor sales people in regard to their working quota. That can lead to management teams hiring more sales people to increase their company's revenues. But hiring more sales people also raises the manpower costs of the organization.
One way to cut the manpower costs of a company is through the use of CRM SALES MANAGEMENT software. This tool is the best way to gain control over SALES AND MANAGEMENT. With the helpof CRM sales management software, the management team can easily monitor their sales people. They can also help their employees work more effectively and efficiently, increasing the company's bottom line.
With CRM sales management software, managers are able to monitor their staff and receive reports without any delay. Thus, sales people no longer waste time on checking and re-checking reports. This will enable them to focus more on their work. There are several types of versions of the software available. All you need to do is find the one that will fit you and the type of industry that you are in.
If you are running an organization that needs an effective and efficient resource for the MANAGEMENT OF SALES FORCE, then thissoftware is a necessity. It helps you accurately analyze data on the performance of your sales staff. This will allow you to better manage your employees.
A good CRM management application can help a management team comprehensively cover even the largest databases. Managers can easily obtain SALES CALL REPORT TEMPLATES from their workers automatically. You easily audit the daily sales activity of your sales staff, and also figure out where they are and where they have been with accurate time stamps.

Jade: Stupid. Stupid Girl.
I couldn't sleep. How could I? I sat by the door, as if proteting the other two, who were in silence slumber. During the night, I got up, pulled my dressing gown on, and went out. The door closed, and I climbed the stairs to the boy's room. I knocked softly. A rustle came from inside. Jerry opened the door, in his dressing gown. His eyes were heavy with bags, and sweat on his forehead told me about his nightmare.
"Couldn't you sleep?" he asked, rubbing his eye. I shook my head.
"Nightmare?" I asked in return. He nodded. I glanced behind him. Nick was snoring, and Ethan turned over and grumbled. Jerry gave a smile. "I'm worried. It's too quite." I told him. He gave me a one armed hug.
"Jade? What was it like to die?"
"A little painful for me, because of the poison. Not too bad. Your soul just slips out, a bit like slipping out of a coat. It's wierd." I told him. "I wouldn't like to do it again anytime soon." I admitted. I looked at the long hall.
"Want me to walk you back?" he asked with a smirk.
"Naa, I'll just sprint there...yes please." I said in a small voice. We walked together in silence. I went to my door, and pushed it. It wouldn't open. I rattled it. I wouldn't open.
"Oh for the love of..." I cursed. Jerry jolted. I turned to him.
"I think you should come back to ours for the night." He murmured. We rushed back, and Jerry opened the door. Nick and Ethan were nowhere to be seen. Jerry pushed me in, and closed the door, laughing. His eyes had rolled back into his head. This room...It looked like Ethan's living room. I froze as Jerry tied me to a chair. I quaked there. Raiku, Ellie, Ally, Nick, Julez, Laura, Ethan's mother, Jerry's parents, my mother, and others I didn't recognize, were dead, scattered about, bodies. All of them had chains round their necks. With 'E' on them. Ethan sat across the room from me tied up, black tape across his mouth. He seemed to be trying to scream. The muffled cry stopped. Jerry took off the tape. Jerry, Ethan, and the dead bodies all began to chant as Jerry got closer to me. A drum beat sounded steadily, and I realized Ethan was banging it.
Jerry had a tiny bottle in his hand. He came closer, every drumbeat, and te chant carried on. He held my cheeks, forcing my mouth open. I dripped the liquid in, saying the last line in my ear.
I woke. I sat up. Ellie and Julez still asleep. Me still in the room, under the blanket. Stupid. Stupid girl...

This week, in collaboration with Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, U.S. Air Force Research Laboratory, and U.S. Army Research Laboratory, IBM Research is publishing the newest paper describing the TrueNorth ecosystem in the International Conference for High Performance Computing, Networking, Storage and Analysis (SC16). SC16 is one of the most prestigious conferences in the HPC (high performance computing) field. Please download the paper below.
Download Paper
This paper describes the result of multi-year effort to create development tools and an ecosystem around the TrueNorth neurosynaptic chip. Today, we have an entire stack of hardware, firmware, software, training algorithms and applications, with active users at many university, corporate and government laboratories implementing neural computation through deep-learning and convolution networks. The diagram below, a figure from the paper, shows the entire ecosystem stack based on the TrueNorth neurosynaptic chip.
No chip will attract significant usage without a good hardware and software ecosystem. Typically when a chip maker comes out with a new processor, they can rely on existing development tools, software and chip sets, so that it is seldom necessary to build an entirely new ecosystem from scratch. However, TrueNorth was a totally new architecture for neurosynaptic computation which required building many new tools from the ground up. We have worked over the past several years to build an ecosystem, and today the toolset allows users to create deep-learning network applications for TrueNorth systems with little more than the click of a button. The paper describes these tools and the ecosystem that empowers users of the TrueNorth neurosynaptic chip.TrueNorth Hardware
The paper describes the TrueNorth-based hardware systems we have developed: (a) a mobile evaluation board (NS1e), (b) a scale-out parallel neuromorphic server (NS1e-16), and (c) a scale-up system for running larger neural network (NS16e). The diagram below shows each system and illustrates its internal architecture.
The schematics show TrueNorth chips in green, FPGA programmable logic in blue, CPU's in orange, and network in purple. Each system runs with control software on CPU talking to TrueNorth chips with the help of programmable logic in FPGA. For details, please see the paper.
The NS1e system is an index card-sized, mobile system consisting of a single TrueNorth chip and a Xilinx Zynq-7000 system-on-a-chip. Although it is a tiny system it has proven to be our workhorse. Many of our university partners use NS1e to run and test neural networks they create for the TrueNorth architecture.
The NS1e-16 is a scale-out system running many neurosynaptic chips in parallel. It is a collection of 16 NS1e single-chip systems with an Ethernet backbone, as shown in the diagram above. When a request to execute a neural network job comes, the gateway machine picks an available NS1e automatically and dispatches the job to it. NS1e-16 is really a small neural network data-center in a box.
Finally NS16e, the scale-up system, has a tightly connected 16-chip TrueNorth array. It can run a neural network using up to 16 million neurons and 4 billion synapses. This system can run image recognition tasks (CIFAR 10, CIFAR 100) with near state-of-the-art accuracy at over 1000 frames per second.
To design applications for TrueNorth, we have built a rich stack of development tools, such as our Eedn framework for developing energy-efficient deep neuromorphic networks. This generates convolutional neural networks (CNNs) that run natively in TrueNorth hardware to achieve near-state-of-art classification accuracy in real-time at very low power.
Figure below sketches a typical workflow for developing streaming Eedn applications like the gesture-recognition application we showed at the CVPR Industry Expo, or the television remote-control application we developed in collaboration with Samsung.
The runtime flow is shown on the top row (a)-(f). A sensor (a) produces a stream of input data. It may be a spiking sensor such as a Dynamic Vision Sensor. The original sensor data is often transformed into more specialized features (b) by cropping, filtering, or other transformation, before being encoded as a stream of input spikes (c), and sent to TrueNorth chip (d). The output of TrueNorth is decoded (e) and sent to downstream application (f).
Flow for designing an Eedn application is shown on the bottom row (g)-(l). The fundamental task is to configure the TrueNorth chip with a set of network parameters. Starting from a dataset (g), the Eedn trainer (h) uses a GPU to train a CNN within the constraints of the TrueNorth architecture. The trained neural network is built into a TrueNorth model (i) and then mapped to hardware (j). Finally, it uses simulation (k) and analysis tools (l) to improve the quality of the neural network generation.Core Placement Problem
A TrueNorth model build at (i) is a purely logical representation of a network of neurosynaptic cores. However, to configure actual hardware, every logical core in the network must be mapped to a unique physical (X, Y) location on a TrueNorth chip by a process called placement (j)). Placement optimization is a critical issue especially for large multi-chip networks for the NS16e.
TrueNorth uses a dimension-order router, in which spikes first travel horizontally (east-west) and then vertically (north-south) between their source and destination. Figure below shows an example of routing spikes within and across TrueNorth chips.
The objective of the placement is to minimize the sum of all the paths from source neurons to destination neurons, reduce the overall active power of the system, and improve the throughput. It implicitly attempts to pack all the tightly connected cores on the same chip. This problem is typically known to be NP-Hard. We developed a new NeuroSynaptic Core Placement (NSCP) Algorithm that maps the neurosynaptic cores efficiently onto the hardware substrate. The algorithm places the input neuron layer first, by collocating cores that process neighboring regions of the input signal. It then iteratively places cores in each consecutive network layer.
Lastly, a movie generated by a graph analysis tool shows how a multi-layer convolution neural network is placed on a 16-chip TrueNorth array. The visualization depicts core to core communication as edges, and illustrates how different layers of a multi-layer network are actually placed. Early layer computation is done locally while the information is shared between chips in higher layers. Some images from the movies are enclosed below.
As we build out the TrueNorth platform, tool chain and software ecosystem, we rely on a number of distinguished labs and other ecosystem partners to illuminate and help explore the space of TrueNorth's application potential.
Since we held our first TrueNorth Boot Camp in August 2015 with a core group of 65 committed early adopters, our User Community has expanded to include over 150 members from 25 Universities, 7 Government labs and 3 National labs, as well as 8 corporate research centers around the world.
TrueNorth's extremely low power profile and guaranteed real-time operation make it a natural fit for applications ranging from mobile/embedded devices to HPC and supercomputing. Table 1 from our paper lists various research areas currently under study by our ecosystem partners. The range and variety convey some idea of the space of TrueNorth application potential our partners have begun to explore.
Table of Our TrueNorth Ecosystem Partners
In May, we held a Reunion of our BootCamp community to showcase some of the amazing things that have been accomplished in just a few months. In addition to algorithmic and toolchain developments from our team, 16 posters and stage presentations were delivered by ecosystem partners. These projects illustrate a range of research topics and are a testament to the motivation and energy of our pioneering TrueNorth developers.
Three of our partners, Army Research Lab, Air Force Research Lab and Lawrence Livermore National Lab, contributed sections to the Supercomputing paper, each application showcases a different TrueNorth system.
Army Research Lab prototyped a computational offloading scheme to illustrate how TrueNorth's low power profile might enable computation at the point of data collection. Using the single-chip NS1e board and an android tablet, ARL researchers created a demonstration system that allows visitors to their lab to hand write arithmetic expressions on the tablet, with handwriting streamed to the NS1e for character recognition and recognized characters sent back to the tablet for arithmetic calculation. Of course the point here is not to make a handwriting calculator, it is to show how TrueNorth's low power and real time pattern recognition might be deployed at the point of data collection to reduce latency, complexity and transmission bandwidth, as well as back end data storage requirements in distributed systems.
Tablet Handwriting Calculator based on TrueNorth
Air Force Research Lab contributed another prototype application utilizing a TrueNorth scale-out system to perform a data-parallel text extraction and recognition task. In this application, an image of a document is segmented into individual characters that are streamed to AFRL's NS1e-16 TrueNorth system for parallel character recognition. Classification results are then sent to an inference-based natural language model to reconstruct words and sentences. This system is able to process 16,000 characters per second--about six times more characters than are in this section so far. AFRL plans to eventually implement the word and sentence inference algorithms on TrueNorth as well.
Parallel hand-written documents recognition.
Lawrence Livermore National Lab has taken delivery of a sixteen-chip scale up system to explore the potential of post-von Neumann computation through larger neural models and more complex algorithms enabled by the native tiling characteristics of the TrueNorth chip. For the Supercomputing paper, they contributed a single-chip application performing in-situ process monitoring in an additive manufacturing process. LLNL trained a TrueNorth network to recognize 7 classes related to track weld quality in welds produced by a selective laser melting machine. Real-time weld quality determination allows for closed loop process improvement and immediate rejection of defective parts. This is one of several applications LLNL is developing to showcase TrueNorth as a scalable platform for low-power, real time inference.
Manufacturing defects detected by TrueNorth classifier
It is a great honor for our team to collaborate with the many and varied members of our partner ecosystem. We are inspired by their energy, ingenuity and passion, as we set out to explore the potential of TrueNorth together!]]>

Here is the abstract:
Neuromorphic engineering combines the architectural and computational principles of systems neuroscience with semiconductor electronics, with the aim of building efficient and compact devices that mimic the synaptic and neural machinery of the brain. The energy consumptions promised by neuromorphic engineering are extremely low, comparable to those of the nervous system. Until now, however, the neuromorphic approach has been restricted to relatively simple circuits and specialized functions, thereby obfuscating a direct comparison of their energy consumption to that used by conventional von Neumann digital machines solving real-world tasks. Here we show that a recent technology developed by IBM can be leveraged to realize neuromorphic circuits that operate as classifiers of complex real-world stimuli. Specifically, we provide a set of general prescriptions to enable the practical implementation of neural architectures that compete with state-of-the-art classifiers. We also show that the energy consumption of these architectures, realized on the IBM chip, is typically two or more orders of magnitude lower than that of conventional digital machines implementing classifiers with comparable performance. Moreover, the spike-based dynamics display a trade-off between integration time and accuracy, which naturally translates into algorithms that can be flexibly deployed for either fast and approximate classifications, or more accurate classifications at the mere expense of longer running times and higher energy costs. This work finally proves that the neuromorphic approach can be efficiently used in real-world applications and has significant advantages over conventional digital devices when energy consumption is considered.]]>
We are excited to announce that our work demonstrating convolutional networks for energy-efficient neuromorphic hardware just appeared in the peer-reviewed Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS) of the United States of America. Here is an open-access link. In this work, we show near state-of-the-art accuracy on 8 datasets, while running at between 1200 and 2600 frames per second and using between 25 and 275 mW running on the TrueNorth chip. Our approach adapts deep convolutional neural networks, today's state-of-the-art approach for machine perception, to perform classification tasks on neuromorphic hardware, such as TrueNorth. This work overcomes the challenge of learning a network that uses low precision synapses, spiking neurons and limited-fan in, constraints that allow for energy-efficient neuromorphic hardware design (including TrueNorth) but that are not imposed in conventional deep learning.
Low precision synapses make it possible to co-locate processing and memory in hardware, dramatically reducing the energy needed for data movement. Employing spiking neurons (which have only a binary state) further reduces data traffic and computation, leading to additional energy savings. However, contemporary convolutional networks use high precision (at least 32-bit) neurons and synapses. This high precision representation allows for very small changes to the neural network during learning, facilitating incremental improvements of the response to a given input during training. In this work, we introduce two constraints to the learning rule to bridge deep learning to energy-efficient neuromorphic hardware. First, we maintain a high precision "shadow" synaptic weight during training, but map this weight to a trinary value (-1, 0 or 1) implementable in hardware for operation as well as, critically, to determine how the network should change during the training itself. Second, we employ spiking neurons during both training and operation, but use the behavior of a high precision neuron to predict how the spiking neuron should change as network weights change.
Limiting neuron fan-in (the number of inputs each neuron can receive) allows for a crossbar design in hardware that reduces spike traffic, again leading to lower energy consumption. However, in deep learning no explicit restriction is placed on inputs per neuron, which allows networks to scale while still remaining integrated. In this work, we enforce this connectivity constraint by partitioning convolutional filters into multiple groups. We maintain network integration by interspersing layers with large topographic coverage but small feature coverage with those with small topographic coverage but large feature coverage. Essentially, this allows the network to learn complicated spatial features, and then to learn useful mixtures of those features.
Our results show that the operational and structural differences between neuromorphic computing and deep learning are not fundamental and indeed, that near state-of-the-art performance can be achieved in a low-power system by merging the two. In a previous post, we mentioned one example of an application running convolutional networks on TrueNorth, trained with our method, to perform real-time gesture recognition.
The algorithm is now in the hands of over 130 users at over 40 institutions, and we are excited to discover what else might now be possible!]]>
During the same event, Professor Tobi Delbruck presented the Misha Mahowald Prize to the IBM TrueNorth Team. See here.
At the IEEE 2016 World Congress on Computational Intelligence (WCCI) in Vancouver Canada last week, six researchers presented their research on TrueNorth-based algorithms and applications. These papers, published in the proceedings of the International Joint Conference on Neural Networks (IJCNN 2016), represent early outcomes from university and government research collaborators, who were among the first adopters of the TrueNorth hardware and software ecosystem. These research partners were trained at the Brain-inspired Boot Camp last August, and submitted their succeeding research for conference review in January 2016.
The six papers presented at the Special Session on Energy-Efficient Deep Neural Networks were:
Here is a press release.
Press Release: Inaugural Misha Mahowald Prize for Neuromorphic Engineering won by IBM TrueNorth Project
The Misha Mahowald Prize recognizes outstanding achievement in the field of neuromorphic engineering. Neuromorphic engineering is defined as the construction of artificial computing systems which implement key computational principles found in natural nervous systems. Understanding how to build such systems may enable a new generation of intelligent devices, able to interact in real-time in uncertain real-world conditions under severe power constraints, as biological brains do.
Misha Mahowald, for whom the prize is named, was a charismatic, talented and influential pioneer of neuromorphic engineering whose creative life unfortunately ended prematurely. Nevertheless, her novel designs of brain-inspired CMOS VLSI circuits for vision and computation have continued to influence a generation of engineers.
For the inaugural 2016 prize, the independent jury led by Prof. Terrence Sejnowski of the Salk Institute evaluated 21 entries worldwide. They have selected the TrueNorth project, led by Dr. Dharmendra S. Modha at IBM Research – Almaden in San Jose, California as the winner for 2016:
"For the development of TrueNorth, a neuromorphic CMOS chip that simulates 1 million spiking neurons with connectivity and dynamics that can be flexibly programmed while consuming only 70 milliwatts. This scalable architecture sets a new standard and brings us closer to achieving the high levels of performance in brains."
The TrueNorth architecture is a milestone in the development of neuromorphic processors because it achieves the combination of scale, ultra-low-power and high performance that has never before been demonstrated in a real neuromorphic system. It is the first neuromorphic system that can compete with conventional state-of-the-art von Neumann processors on real-world problems on an equal footing. In doing this, it opens the door to future orders-of-magnitude improvements in computing power that will no longer be possible using the von Neumann architecture as its inherent bottlenecks approach physical limits.
The prize and certificate will be presented at the 30th anniversary celebration of the IBM Almaden Research Center in San Jose on 11 August, 2016.
The Misha Mahowald Prize is sponsored and administered by iniLabs (www.inilabs.com) in Switzerland.]]>
The Conference on Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition (CVPR) is widely considered as the preeminent conference for computer vision. This year the IBM Brain Inspired Computing team had the pleasure of demonstrating our latest technology at the CVPR 2016 Industry Expo, held in the air-conditioned conference halls of Caesars Palace, Las Vegas. The expo was co-located with academic poster presentations, which created an excellent opportunity for us to not only meet very interesting academics, but also to see the latest demos from other amazing companies, both large and small.
We too were excited to demonstrate our new Runtime API for TrueNorth. To showcase it, we connected an event-based vision sensor, the DVS128 (made by iniLabs), over USB to our NS1e board.
We used our Eedn framework to train a convolutional neural network on hand and arm gestures collected from our team, including air-drums and air-guitar! This Eedn network was used to configure the TrueNorth chip on the NS1e board. Overall, the system received asynchronous pixel events from the DVS128 sensor and passed them to TrueNorth. A new classification was produced every one millisecond, or at 1000 classifications per second.
The reaction to the real-time gesture classifications was very positive and drew large crowds (and other hardware vendors ;). People were blown away by that fact that we were running a convnet in real-time at 1000 classifications per second while consuming only milliwatts of power. We invited anyone who was interested to come behind our table to play with the gesture recognition. With a little bit of adjustment, people were able to interact with TrueNorth and have their gestures recognized. To many in the audience, the entire concept of neuromorphic engineering was new. Their visit to our booth was a great opportunity to introduce them to the DVS128, a spiking sensor inspired by the human retina, and TrueNorth, a spiking neural network chip inspired by the human brain!
A video can be seen here.
Previously, we have demonstrated that TrueNorth can perform greater than 1000 classifications per second on benchmark datasets. Therefore, the new Runtime API opens the interface to the NS1e board and the TrueNorth chip for many exciting real-time applications, processing complex data at very fast rates, yet consuming very low power.
We give special thanks to our teammates David Berg, Carmelo di Nolfo and Michael Debole for leading efforts to develop the Runtime API, to Jeff Mckinstry for performing the Eedn training, to Guillaume Garreau for his help with data preparation, and to the entire Brain Inspired Computing team for volunteering to create the training data set!]]>
Gearing up. We are preparing for the 2016 Telluride Neuromorphic Cognition Engineering Workshop, in the Colorado mountain town. Beginning Sunday Jun 26th, this annual workshop brings together nearly 100 researchers from all around the world to investigate brain-inspired solutions to topics such as:
IBM's Brain-Inspired Computing Group is sending two researchers with an end-to-end hardware/software ecosystem for training neural networks to run, in realtime, on the 4096 core TrueNorth neurosynaptic processor. The Eedn (Energy-efficient deep neuromorphic network) training algorithm enables near state-of-the-art accuracy on a wide range of visual, auditory, and other sensory datasets. When run on TrueNorth, these networks can be run at between 25 and 275mW, achieving >6000 FPS/W performance.

Title: Structured Convolution Matrices for Energy-efficient Deep learning]]>
Authors: Rathinakumar Appuswamy, Tapan Nayak, John Arthur, Steven Esser, Paul Merolla, Jeffrey Mckinstry, Timothy Melano, Myron Flickner, Dharmendra S. Modha
Extended Abstract: We derive a relationship between network representation in energy-efficient neuromorphic architectures and block Toplitz convolutional matrices. Inspired by this connection, we develop deep convolutional networks using a family of structured convolutional matrices and achieve state-of-the-art trade-off between energy efficiency and classification accuracy for well-known image recognition tasks. We also put forward a novel method to train binary convolutional networks by utilising an existing connection between noisy-rectified linear units and binary activations. We report a novel approach to train deep convolutional networks with structured kernels. Specifically, all the convolution kernels are generated by the commutative pairs of elements from the Symmetric group S4. This particular structure is inspired by the TrueNorth architecture and we use it to achieve an improved accuracy vs energy tradeoff than we had previously reported. Our work builds on the growing body of literature devoted to developing convolutional networks for low-precision hardware toward energy-efficient deep learning.

Title: Deep neural networks are robust to weight binarization and other non-linear distortions]]>
Authors: Paul A. Merolla, Rathinakumar Appuswamy, John V. Arthur, Steve K. Esser, Dharmendra S. Modha
Abstract: Recent results show that deep neural networks achieve excellent performance even when, during training, weights are quantized and projected to a binary representation. Here, we show that this is just the tip of the iceberg: these same networks, during testing, also exhibit a remarkable robustness to distortions beyond quantization, including additive and multiplicative noise, and a class of non-linear projections where binarization is just a special case. To quantify this robustness, we show that one such network achieves 11% test error on CIFAR-10 even with 0.68 effective bits per weight. Furthermore, we find that a common training heuristic--namely, projecting quantized weights during backpropagation--can be altered (or even removed) and networks still achieve a base level of robustness during testing. Specifically, training with weight projections other than quantization also works, as does simply clipping the weights, both of which have never been reported before. We confirm our results for CIFAR-10 and ImageNet datasets. Finally, drawing from these ideas, we propose a stochastic projection rule that leads to a new state of the art network with 7.64% test error on CIFAR-10 using no data augmentation.

Guest Blog by Hartmut E. Penner on Docker Infrastructure.
For the Bootcamp Reunion, we needed to create an environment where participants could use our latest release. From past experience, it was clear that even with the best possible installation instructions, it would not be possible to cope with the multitude of systems of the participants in the given time we had and we wanted to spend precious Reunion time exploring the new Eedn programming environment. And beside, the training required server software with specific high end GPUs to do efficient training in the short time.
To be able to support all this and minimize the installation time and effort necessary we decided to use the IBM SoftLayer Cloud to provide the system with the GPUs and Docker as a way to package the software. The SoftLayer Cloud provides so called Bare Metal Server with GPUs which gives the user full hardware access to the system all the way to a hardware console over a web interface. This Bare Metal Server we ordered came pre-installed with Ubuntu Linux 14.04.
Docker as a container technology allows to package an application with all it dependencies like runtime, system tools, system libraries and the code itself. Unlike virtualization technology, all instances share the same kernel and therefore have much lower resource consumption while still providing full isolation between them. Details are here.
For the setup of our software, we needed to have access to the GPU in a shared fashions to limit the amount of hardware. Fortunately, Nvidia provided a full version of a dockerized environment which could be used as a nucleus to build a specialized Docker container with all our Software and access to the GPUs from multiple container instances. The container image was based on the CentOS 7 version or the cuda:7.5-devel image, added with a VNC server, MATLAB, matconvnet and our TrueNorth software release. Each participant got an instance created with exactly the same software with only differences being: an user specific persistent storage, ssh port and public authorized SSH key. With that each user was able to connect to their instance and upload data, from any kind of Windows, MacOS or Linux laptop. VNC traffic was tunneled over SSH, ensuring authentication and encryption of all traffic between the local user and the Cloud instance. For the uploading of a model and running test data on NS1e we chose HTTPS protocol between the cloud instances and the local gateway server, ensuring that this traffic also could not be compromised.
The installation we had finally was built on 7 Bare Metal Servers, each with two NVIDIA K80 GPUs and 16 NS1e boards. On those systems we had up to 80 simultaneous users accessing the instances over WIFI, with parallel training and testing on the NS1e board. The only problem with this installation was the public / private key handling with tunneling, due to its different handling between Windows and Linux/MacOS laptops. After passing this hurdle the installation ran very smoothly without any major issues and provided an environment to concentrate on the task of learning the new software and not dealing with installation and incompatibilities.
It was beautiful to see 80 people simultaneously using the infrastructure!
Guest Blog by Jeffrey L. Mckinstry and Timothy Melano on Developer Workshop.
On first day, May 23, IBM Team presented new results on convolution networks, NS1e16 system, and NS16e system. This was followed by exciting new results from many of the participants -- there are now 16 publications from Boot Campers!
From May 24-26, we ran a hands-on Developer's Workshop in which the attendees were able to use for the first time our Energy efficient Deep Neuromorphic (Eedn) networks on their own data and run these networks on TrueNorth. The reunion had a variety of sessions ranging from theoretical deep dives into the mathematical abstractions of how we have mapped convolutional networks and backpropagation onto TrueNorth, to hands-on tutorial sessions. After a few hours of guided Eedn exercises, we took the training wheels off and let the students use new datasets to create state-of-art neural networks. By the end of the day students had learned how to use the tools from our latest software release and were launching overnight training runs.
The next morning, May 25, students were excited to share very competitive scores on their datasets. The energy was great. Our guests from the Air Force Research Lab were our first success of many. On a aerial radar dataset their scores were comparable to the performance they were getting on other unconstrained networks, the difference in this case was that they were classifying images at 1000 frames per second, while minuscule amount power!
Later in the day our friend, Diego Cantor from the University of Western Ontario, was getting better results on an Eedn network than on his unconstrained Caffe networks! His data story is actually quite entertaining because his original image sizes were too big to be efficiently fed into a single TrueNorth chip. He was quite skeptical when we asked him to downsample his images to 32x32, but was later shocked to see that with smaller images and a sparse Eedn Convnet he was able to beat his Caffe convnet, a hat tip to brain-inspired computing indeed. His data is of ultrasound images of the human spinal column.
There were lots of other successes such as Tobi Brosch achieving 87 percent on an 14 category action recognition dataset and Garrick Orchard achieving 98.7 percent accuracy on spiking MNIST dataset; but the real success was that all of the researches in attendance were training Eedn networks and visualizing high accuracy results very quickly.
Some Attendee Comments.
"I can make networks in a day now :)"
"I truly appreciate all of the effort from the IBM staff to put these events together; they are immesurably beneficial for this community. Not only do we gain technical insight, but we have the opportunity to reconnect as a community. I thought the use of docker was inspired. It really simplified the process of baselining all participants without the need for complex, time consuming installations. I plan to emulate this process for my lab server. I loved having the bootcamp reunion at Almaden. What a truly beautiful and inspiring location to work and gather as a community. ... What I like most of all is how welcoming IBM is to all of us. I think I speak for this entire group when I say that you always make us feel like we are all part of something important."
"The docker setup that provided an existing installation was genius. That helped us focus our time and attending on learning Eedn instead of the installation."
"The reunion has been great - as was last year's BootCamp. An excellent hands on tutorial for training and deploying CNNs on TN. I feel that I could train my own networks, and this is huge for me because I do not come from a formal machine learning background. I applaud the IBM team for putting together another great workshop."
"The technology is impressive, from our perspective its ideal for robotic applications. We are excited to get this back to our lab and put this on our robotics platform to see how well this operates in our environments. ... The reunion, the format, and the hosting has all been absolutely outstanding. It's nice to have a lot of IBM folks around that have been responsive to all of our questions and concerns. You all clearly spent a lot of time preparing tutorials, documentation, etc. and this preparation has helped and is well appprecaiated."
"The fact that participants were able to get get up and running so quickly (and complained so little) reflects very positively on the tools and preparation."
"I've really enjoyed the reunion. I wasn't at the bootcamp so this is the first chance I've had to use the tools and found them very well constructed."
"I found this training to be very helpful in understanding how to implement neural networks on the TrueNorth hardware. Contained in only 4 days I think the training had a good balance of theory, applications and hands-on projects. The use of Docker containers to implement MatConvNet was very easy to access and deploy and the background information sent prior to the bootcamp made it easy to get up to speed quickly. What other groups have done with the chip in such a short time was quite impressive."
"Overall the presentations were layed out very well and were conducive to good information flow. The responsiveness of the team to help field any and all questions was well-receivied and invaluable; if someone did not know how to answer a question they actively sought someone on the team who did."
"For a 3.5-day crash course on TrueNorth (compared to a 3-week long boot camp), this is a success and probably the best one can organize for a such short duration workshop. I would like to thank everyone at IBM for making it possible. I was able to work through the tutorials at my own pace, be immersed right away, and customize without starting from scratch."
"It has been interesting and inspiring to see the breadth and extent of work that has been done by BootCamp participants, and to see how the tools have evolved since last summer."
"Excited about the new convolutional network capabilties."
"I want to start by saying thank you to all that put forth so much time and effort into this workshop. I wish I could have been here last year at the first bootcamp, but you all have made it very easy to get up to speed. I like the structure and format at this workshop, it was well conceived and executed."]]>

A fun new mapping tool will tell you where you're from, where your surname is most popular in the UK and also where you met your partner.
The site was developed by University College London (UCL) and is part of a wider project by the Economic and Social Research Council to see whether our surnames are linked to geographical locations, the Telegraph reports.
It seems to be pretty accurate…
It even got my name…
But what about a few iconic British surnames…
Very impressive, how about some UNILAD staff members.
Ok this one will stump it, or maybe not.
It didn't get our famous couple right though.
Professor Paul Longley, is behind the study and the impressive map. He claims that most people don't move far from their ancestral homes.
He said:
Most Anglo Saxon family names came into common usage between the 12th and 14th centuries, and were first coined in particular parts of the country.
What is interesting is that most individuals do not move far from their ancestral family homes and so, 700 or more years later, most names can still be associated with particular localities.
You can try this our for yourself at publicprofiler.org, have fun procrastinating….

China has accused Vietnam of ramming its ships more than 1,000 times in a disputed part of the South China Sea, where it has been taking various steps to assert its claim and stirring tensions with Asian neighbours.
China also said that while it wants good relations with its southern neighbour, it would not abandon principles to achieve that.
Shortly after China brought its oil rig into the area, Vietnam sent a large number of vessels, frogmen, and dropped numerous obstacles, including fishing nets, into the sea, China's foreign ministry said yesterday.
"As of 5pm on June 7, there were as many as 63 Vietnamese vessels in the area at the peak, attempting to break through China's cordon and ramming the Chinese government ships for a total of 1,416 times," the ministry said in a statement.
"In the face of Vietnam's provocative actions on the sea, China exercised great restraint and took necessary preventive measures," the ministry said, adding that China sent ships to the area to ensure the safety of its operations.
A Vietnamese fishing boat sank on May 26 during a confrontation not far from where China has towed an oil rig, accompanied by a cordon of Chinese vessels, 240 kilometres off Vietnam.
[1]The two sides have been trading accusations over the incident and last week, Vietnam state television broadcast video showing a large Chinese vessel steaming after two smaller Vietnamese fishing boats, then colliding with a Vietnamese fishing boat which then capsized.
The dispute is the most serious deterioration of relations between the Communist states and traditional rivals since a brief war in 1979 following Vietnam's invasion of Cambodia.
The foreign ministry said China has communicated with Vietnam more than 30 times at various levels, asking it to "stop its illegal disruption".
"China wants good relations with Vietnam, but there are principles that China cannot abandon," it said. "The channel of communication between China and Vietnam is open."
Scores of Vietnamese and Chinese ships, including coastguard vessels, have squared off around the rig despite a series of collisions after the platform was towed to the area in early May. Until the May 26 incident, no ship had sunk.
The Haiyang Shiyou 981 rig is drilling between the Paracel islands occupied by China and the Vietnamese coast. Vietnam has said the rig is in its 200-nautical mile exclusive economic zone and on its continental shelf. China says it is operating within its waters.
The rig's deployment also set off anti-Chinese riots in Vietnam last month in which at least four people were killed.
China claims about 90 per cent of the South China Sea, displaying its reach on official maps with a so-called nine-dash line that stretches deep into the maritime heart of Southeast Asia. The Philippines, Vietnam, Malaysia, Brunei and Taiwan also have claims to parts of the potentially energy-rich waters.
