Too many lenses?
Toni Ahvenainen
Having probably the greatest camera setup of my life comes also with some interesting 'new problems'. One of these 'new problems' is certainly the possibility of choosing your focal length pretty freely between six different Zeiss-lenses. Before this setup I was used to do with just two lenses (Nex-5N kit lens and the SEL50F18) and now that I can choose pretty much any focal length with great optical quality from 18mm to 85mm brings a certain distraction to my photography. The issue is simple really: with just two lenses I needed to fit the scenes and ideas into certain focal lengths, which ultimately led into creative choices more often. Now that I can choose my preferred focal length more freely, I'm paradoxically leaning more on conventional use of each individual focal length. Interior photography? Wide or ultra-wide angle. Portraits? Medium tele. And so on. As nice at it is to be able to choose your focal length freely, I feel it also strangles my creativity as it somehow directs me into this conventional path. Nothing wrong with the conventional creative choices per se, but when one is trying to find his/her own photographic eye, leaning on 'standard solutions' might not be the best solution. To combat against this tendency I've tried to bring only one or two lenses with me whenever I head out for new pictures. This forces me to think, for example, compositional limitations more and I believe it will also lead me to more satisfying choices (more about this later). Right now, I just feel I'm finding new ways to relate to my new setup. On top of this all, it also brings up an interesting question of how many lenses is enough for the perfect camera setup. I cannot answer this yet, but with this experience I would say that having too many is likely to be less productive than having too little, as the limits often fire up the creativity. What's your perfect setup and how many lenses does it include?

The Eid al-Fitr prayer, a three day holiday marking the end of Ramadan, is scheduled for Sunday.
Ramzan commemorates Prophet Mohammad's first revelation of the holy book of Quran.
When a new moon appears over Saudi Arabia, the long-anticipated feast will begin. Eid signals the end of fasting and the beginning of a new Islamic month, Shawwaal. Thus, Eid-al-Fitr as a whole is an oft-returning festival of breaking the fast.
The Coalition of Muslim Organisations, Ghana, (COMOG) has called on Muslim chiefs and the stakeholders in the Muslim Community to reconsider the way Eid is being celebrated by Muslim youth to reflect the good image of Islam.
During Eid, Muslims will often purchase new clothes for the occasion, and take part in festivals and celebrations.
The Islamic calendar is lunar and the days begin at sunset, so there may be one-day error depending on when the New Moon is first seen.
Trump calls Warmbier's death a 'total disgrace'
They said it should be a "call to action to those in the position to protect our American citizens here at home AND overseas ". North Korean officials claimed Warmbier contracted botulism shortly after his trial and had been unresponsive ever since.
McCain: Americans 'stupid' to travel to North Korea
But after his return home to OH last week, doctors said they suspected his condition had been caused by cardiopulmonary arrest. Mr Warmbier was sentenced to 15 years of hard labour after he attempted to steal a propaganda sign from a hotel.
Amazon-Whole Foods deal fallout
Whole Foods' private-label 365 brand is well received by consumers, but it doesn't now have that much penetration. Amazon could provide the financial capital and tactical ability to build that into something big.
On the day, Muslims wake up early to shower and dress in their Eid best, and to arrange a spread of sweet treats for any guests who might stop in later.
"Oman, however, has not sighted the moon, and thus declared Monday June 26 as the first day of Eid al-Fitr".
After observing the fast for 30 days of Ramadan, the people of Morocco along with neighboring countries will be celebrating Eid Al-Fitr tomorrow Sunday. Eid-al-Fitr is comprised of two different words: Eid and Fitr. If not, Eid al-Fitr will be celebrated on Monday.Many countries like Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates (UAE), Bahrain, Syria, Iraq, Egypt and others are celebrating Eid al-Fitr on Sunday. Check the Ramazan 2017 Date and start celebrating the day with most precious prayers.
It is a time when we take stock of all the lessons we have learned over the holy month of Ramadan, as we mark its passing with our family and friends. "Eid Mubarak" is exchanged by each and every individual in the form of greetings.
"As Muslims celebrate Eid across Nigeria, it is important to remind Nigerians of the importance of respecting the faiths and beliefs of all".

*Not this book, the book that this book is about. It's kind of a meta thing.
Warning: This review contains some spoilers.
What's a girl to do when the world's nearing annihilation and she's possessed by a psychotic book? Karen Marie Moning gives us our answer as Mac, Barrons, and crew return for the final (maybe?) installment of the Fever Series, Feversong. Barrons, Jada (but I really like Dani, so I'm just gonna call her Dani from here on in, K?), and their friends must race against time to free Mac from the evil Sinsar Dubh and find the elusive Fae Song of Making before it's too late.
This book has everything: people who eat people, talking cats who eat people, reluctant Unseelie Princes trapped in a goo cocoon, emotionally-available, jacked Physics nerds, a near utterance of "I love you" from Barrons to Mac, "Tubthumping."
All in all, I think it is a fantastic read; dare I say, the best in the series. From beginning to end, the Fever series has some of the best twists and turns I've ever read, keeping me reading non-stop and keeping my kids occupied by 24/7 Disney Junior and all-you-can-eat Pirate's Booty. While Feversong slows at times, it mostly keeps up the breakneck pace of the first five books in the series. It also reestablishes the plan Moning has been working with all along, which brings to mind my question: was Moning sitting on the line, "Holy psychotic PCs, Robin, we've a murderous MacBook on the loose!" for nine whole books?
I think the best part of this book is Mac's (Get it? Mac + Book! Ha!) triumph and true rise to hero at the end. I have to admit, I've always had a hard time liking Mac. With her Barbie doll looks and entitled attitude, she always kind of reminded me of the girls who banned me from their lunch table in middle school. Even though I didn't particularly like Mac, I empathized with her. I still rooted for her. And, I was still totally enthralled by her story. To write a compelling story with an unlikeable protagonist is no small feat, but Moning nails it.
What's more, she works the same magic with Jericho Barrons. I will preface this by saying that he is one of my favorite male romantic leads of all time. He is almost, almost, mind you, up on the podium with one Mr. James Fraser. But, beneath the steel-toed boots, muscled exterior, violent tendencies, and frequent f-bombs, Barrons has the personality of a pissed off grandpa. One word responses? No small talk? Doesn't suffer fools? PePaw, is that you? He's about thisclose to telling those kids to get the hell off his lawn. And, yet, Moning has made him into a sinfully attractive, magnetizing presence and, in my opinion, one of the greatest romantic heroes in recent years. If that's not brilliance, I don't know what is.
I do, however, have an issue with some of the character interaction. Ok, ok. I know what you are thinking—this is a book filled with faeries, magical songs, people rising from the dead (maybe just one person), and men with no discernable refractory period. Of course there are things in this book that are unbelievable! As a side note, this brings to mind the days of watching Lost—the ultimate display of unbelievable plot points—with my logical engineer husband who would constantly shout out, "That would never happen!" In the same sense, I often find myself shouting the same thing when characters interact in this book. I mean, it's nice for Dani that Alina and Mac's parents forgive her for murdering their daughter, but I just can't see any grieving parents being so kind and quick to forgive. And, why are Mac and Dani such good friends, anyway? I get that Mac lost her sister, but I just don't see their connection without being specifically told they are close.
My final thought is this: if you haven't read Feversong yet, read it now! If you have kids, get yourself down to the Costco to get a pallet of Pirate's Booty. That'll buy you about 5-10 chapters, at least. A word of warning, though, don't eat it yourself while you're reading. Unless, of course, you aren't grossed out by people eating people. Then, by all means, go for it.

British band Blur is joining Iggy Pop and David Bowie and getting the Legoized treatment for their Rock Band edition aimed at younger kids. I love this in everyway possible. Everything from Albarn's green eyes and Parklife-era track shirt to Graham Coxon's geek-glasses and Alex James's bangs.
With all the sets that Lego actually puts out, I'm a bit miffed now that they don't have a "rock star" line when you can put together tour busses, stages, green rooms, practice spaces, drug dens, groupie closets, etc. [via]

The other day Peeper and I shared a rare morning just the two of us: Eric and Kiwi were napping, so we headed downstairs to play out of earshot. It turned out to be the perfect time to get into the true spirit of Christmas.
After some jumping on the couch, reading books to dolls and building towers (then knocking them down, of course), I suggested we wrap some presents.
"These are for a little boy who doesn't have any presents," I explained to her. We are sponsoring a child whose parent is incarcerated, and I had bought him action figures, shoes and pants—his wish list items—earlier in the week. "Some children don't have as many toys as you," I added.
Christmas lessons in toddler-sized packages
Peeper chattered and jumped back and forth over the wrapping paper tubes as I cut, folded and taped. I unpeeled the backing from shiny bows, and she stuck them on the boxes.
I wanted to involve Peeper in our family giving this year. We have so much while others have so little, and I don't want her growing up expecting that abundance is the norm. Providing for others so their holiday is a little brighter is a family tradition, and Peeper is old enough to learn some of these lessons. Read more

Luca Satana
Luca Satana puts the incest erotica in Legion of Filth, so if this happens to be your taboo of choice, you can't go wrong with a Luca Satana title. Best sellers have been The Implausibly Cruel Life Of Tall Thin Peter Flynn, A Mother-Son Getaway Gone Wrong, Taking Care Of Grandma, Aunt Sarah's Answer To Everything, In Addition To Everything Else Going On In My Life Now I Have To Get My Mom Pregnant Too!, Oggy Gobbins Comes Alive and of course Luca's Naughty Bits series.
The Implausibly Cruel Life Of Tall Thin Peter Flynn: Tall Thin Peter Flynn, who was quite popular among his family members, first for being the only boy in the rather large family, and second for possessing, ever since a child, an abnormally long and skinny cock, has finally, to everyone's sheer delight, turned 18! And right there to celebrate the occasion are his mean and controlling mother and his wild and wide-eyed sisters. In most families, this would be a joyous, yet harmless affair. For the Flynns, well, this was going to be anything but harmless. This was going to be downright hardcore. WARNING: THIS EBOOK CONTAINS INCEST! LOT'S OF MOTHER-FUCKING INCEST! LITERALLY!
A Mother-Son Getaway Gone Wrong: Eric Brennan was a handsome 18 year old young man who really wanted to help his mother. He knew his father was no good for his mother. He was mean. Abusive. Controlling. In fact, the only good thing he ever did for her was fuck her. A lot. Eric knew this from all the years growing up in the house and hearing them going at it. Especially his mother, who was a particularly loud lover. And so, Eric decided he would confront his mother on Spring Break. First thing he did was pack his suitcase and his mother's suitcase. Then he took a deep breath and approached his mother. Sabrina Brennan was a very pretty and very sweet 41 year old woman. But she needed help. The sad thing was she didn't even realize it. Not until that fateful day when her son pointed it out to her. Suddenly her eyes were opened. And so, she agreed. Finally, they were off!
Taking Care Of Grandma: I guess I didn't know what they meant by taking care of Grandma. It's not that I had anything against Grandma. Quite the contrary. In fact, out of everyone else in the family, my Grandma was the one I always had the strongest connection to. Even if, over the last few years, that connection had somewhat faded. In spite of what everyone might think, Grandma always seemed like a pretty nice person. Pretty fun, too. So, basically, I guess what I'm trying to say is taking care of Grandma wasn't exactly something I was opposed to. So, in the end, I decided to take the bull by the horns. In the end, ultimately, I decided to look at the situation from a whole different perspective, trying my best not to think of taking care of Grandma as a chore, but more like, well, a privilege. After all, taking care of Grandma wasn't gonna be so bad. Grandma was pretty cute. And she had a great set of tits. And, from the looks of it, a nice, firm ass, too. So, yeah, maybe taking care of Grandma wasn't gonna be so bad.
Aunt Sarah's Answer To Everything: Guy Huffman's world was crumbling around him. In the last year, he lost his job, his wife, and was sinking into full-blown depression. So, on his Aunt Sarah's invitation, Guy and his daughter moved up to New Hampshire to live with her and her family. In Aunt Sarah's mind, she had just the thing to bring her nephew out of his depression. Her answer to everything.
In Addition To Everything Else Going On In My Life Now I Have To Get My Mom Pregnant Too!: In addition to everything else going on in my life, with this being my senior year and having to get ready for college, I also have an alarming amount of homework, baseball, chess club, my job at the hardware store, and all my house chores, and now I have to get my mom pregnant, too! If you ask me, the whole thing is fucking bullshit!
Oggy Gobbins Comes Alive!: You really have to feel for a young man like Oggy Gobbins. Just 18 years old and he's already given up on life. Well, can you blame him? Ever since his adolescence, Oggy's had to beat his meat at least a couple times a day just to keep his exorbitant amount of cum at bey. After all these years, the task is just too great, his cum is just too great, and he's ready to give up and just let his over-producing cum-filled balls take over. And if that means total cock blockage down below and imminent death, then so be it, because Oggy has decided he is never ever going to rub another one out as long as he lives. So, from now on, if anybody gives a shit, Oggy's mom, his sisters, and whoever else is around, they're just gonna have to do it for him, because Oggy has had enough!
My Mom And My Aunt Pretty Much Rule The Bathroom: Growing up, Mathew Harrington didn't think much of it. He figured everybody's parents were a little off. He figured everybody's parents do some weird thing the rest of the family had to suffer. In his parent's case, or more specifically his mother Louise's case, along with his Aunt Beatrix, well, their weird thing was they never left the bathroom, or more specifically the bathtub.
Helping Aunt Bethany Learn How To Swallow: Bethany was a very beautiful 38-year-old woman, a very beautiful 38-year-old Christian woman, as she often liked to interject when describing herself. She never really dabbled in sex too much. She was waiting for the right man. The right god-fearing Christian man. As a result, she never learned how to swallow. And this bothered her. She knew she probably shouldn't let something like that bother her, but it did. So, the next time her 18-year-old nephew Darren came over, she thought she might ask him to help her with this. Darren, who wasn't Christian at all, or not really, well, maybe a little, and who always had the silliest little misplaced crush on his very cute aunt, agreed without a second thought.
And That's Why You Should Never Let Your Extremely Hot And Horny Completely Naked Daughter Sleep With You: Like many men in the world, Timothy Carmichael is plagued with an extremely hot and horny 18-year-old daughter living under his roof. To make matters worse, his daughter prefers to sleep naked. And to make matters even more worse, his daughter prefers to sleep with him in his bed, even more so since Timothy's wife left them. Now, the only question is how long can Timothy fight off his daughter? Especially with her being so hot and so horny and so naked and so readily available right there in front of him? Like many young women in the world, Gwendolyn Carmichael is plagued with an extremely hot and horny 43-year-old father living under her roof. To make matters worse, her father has an enormous cock. And to make matters even more worse, ever since her mother left them, her father has been asking Gwen if she would like to sleep with him in his bed. Now, the only question is how long can Gwen fight off her father? Especially with him being so hot and horny and so big-cocked and so sad and pathetic it's breaking Gwen's heart to see her father in such a miserable way?
Mom Can I Please Hump You?: Ever since Draden Peacock could remember, he's had a crush on his mother. How could he not? She was just as cute as can be. So fun. So full of life. And so, naturally, when Draden became a man, the one thing he wanted on the planet, above all else was, well, his mother. Ever since Audrey Peacock could remember, she's had a little bit of a crush on her son. How could she not? He was just as cute as can be. So fun. So full of life. And so, naturally, when Draden became a man, the one thing she wanted on the planet, above all else, was to give him anything he wanted. Anything at all. And that's how you end up with a series as sick and crazy and sexy as this one. Enjoy.
I Think My Mom Is In Love With My Cock: Something is definitely up with my mom. It all started when my mom came into my room to wake me up for school and found me with morning wood. Yeah. Embarrassing. But what happened after was even more embarrassing. And now, I think my Mom is in love with my cock.
I Literally Cannot Stop Fucking My Grandma: Jordan Masse is a handsome freshly turned 18-year-old young man with dark eyes and dark hair, medium height and rather thin build. In almost every way, Jordan is a very normal young man. However, as of late, he's developed a bit of a problem. He is absolutely and utterly obsessed with and eternally turned on by his crazy sexy grandma. Harriet Delhomme is a very beautiful 59-year-old woman with dark eyes and auburn hair, short and somewhat shapely. Given Jordan's growing problem, the last few times his grandma has come to visit, he's either hid away in his room pretending to be sick or gone out pretending to be too busy to see her. However, he can't go on doing this. After all, he really loves his grandma and can't stand the idea of her thinking otherwise. So, tonight, Jordan has decided to face his fears. He's decided to go to his grandma's room and come clean, about everything. Why he's been avoiding her for the last several months. And who knows, once he finally tells her, maybe they'll both have a good laugh about it. Perhaps she'll even have a solution. Perhaps something he hasn't even thought about. Or, perhaps her solution will be to do exactly what he's been thinking about doing to her, nonstop, for the last several months. Perhaps then he can finally get it all out of his system. Or, perhaps, it could make his problem much much worse.
Reilly/Reilly (A Sex-Spattered Police Procedural Romp To The Umpth Degree): Detective Max Reilly is on his way out, while his daughter Detective Chickadee Reilly is on her way in, but before each one can settle into their new positions, they have to learn to work together, and fuck together, since fucking, as I'm sure you already know, is always a huge part of every police procedural series, and this one is no different.
A Strict Grandpa-Granddaughter Diet: Jack and Beatrice are being ridiculous. They know they shouldn't be doing the things they're doing but they're doing them anyway. Beatrice knows, no matter how much she's craving cum, she shouldn't be nursing on her grandpa's cock. And, likewise, Jack knows, in exchange, no matter how much he's craving mother's milk, he shouldn't be nursing on his granddaughter's mammoth breasts. But that's exactly what's happening. It's madness! And there's nothing you or I or anybody else in the family can do about it!
How I Learned To Stop Worrying And Love My Family (Mother's Days, Aunt Lily's Nights): One doesn't just start doing this sort of thing. Or at least I didn't. It was just something I feel I simply fell into. In fact, I'm almost certain there was only one way this whole thing could have ever ended up. And it's with that realization that I finally learned how to stop worrying and love my family. Hopefully this helps. Yours truly, Fisher. My mom is really cool. A really great woman. But she's unlucky. My father passed when I was pretty young. Since then, my mom's been mostly single, with a few losers peppered in here and there. Now, my mom is working nights. Third shift. She likes it. Especially the pay raise. But she can't sleep. She's always been a light sleeper, but adding the fact that she needs to sleep during the day isn't helping her sleep. So, after trying a million things, pills, reading, eating, anything to sleep, she's now looking to me to help her sleep. Like my mom, my Aunt Lily is really cool. Maybe even cooler, if it weren't for her trying so hard all the time. My aunt never married. Well, let's not say never just yet. Who knows, she might get lucky one of these days. But probably not if she continues to pursue weird-ass fuck-heads on the other side of globe or on some other unattainable plane altogether. To me, my aunt's warped little love affairs are just a microcosm of what's wrong with her, which is her inability to see what's right in front of her, to relax, and accept the world as it is, all around her, namely herself, and her own vivid awesomeness. Instead, my aunt puts herself in this endlessly spinning hamster wheel, ever-striving, reaching, wanting, trying, for the ever-elusive more, which, in the end, usually leaves her alone or just plain lonely. And I guess, that's where I come in.
Wit And Wile And Their Mother's Amazing Pussy: Wit and Wile Goode were beautiful 18-year-old twin brother and sister, with picturesque dark features, and young and taut bodies. To their knowledge, they were the sole product of their starkly strange 35-year-old mother Willa Goode, who appeared to be the one who gave them their picturesque dark features, as well as their own degree of strangeness. Although Wit and Wile always had an inkling of their mother's strangeness, they never believed her to be as strange as all their little friends or all their little enemies used to tell them, sometimes in some very not nice ways. However, on this night, this being the eve of their 18th birthday, that was all about to change. Tonight, as the clock struck midnight, they were going to come face to face with the full spectrum of their mother's strangeness, when she, not unlike she had a thousand nights before, found herself in the throes of yet another acute and aching fiery need to be extinguished, and instead of utilizing this or that device to douse her flames, she planned to use her children, her son Wit, in particular, to finally, and properly, extinguish her acute and aching fiery need, once and for all.
Pimping My Mom: There comes a time in every young man's life when he meets the perfect young woman and falls in love and asks her to move in with him and she does and everything is absolutely perfect and then his always horny mother, who was incarcerated, finally comes home and the young lovers have no choice but to pimp out the young man's always horny mother, in order to preserve their perfect, perfect love. Amen.
When My Mom Left To Go Find Herself She Found A Busty Nudist Free Spirit Living In A Log Cabin: After I turned 18, and then, shortly after, graduated from high school, I was given a mission. Go find mom, wherever she might be, and by any means necessary, if the gods will allow it, convince her to come back home. It took me all of a month to find her. I tracked her down to a log cabin in the woods. There, I came face to face with the woman my mom found, when she left us to go find herself almost a year ago. Apparently, this new woman was a busty nudist free spirit, in almost no way resembling my mom. And I have to say, after the initial shock, I think I very much like this new mom. Very much!
My Sister The Noncommittal Exhibitionist: I'm sure my little sister Flora didn't expect to get away with it forever. You can't go around stripping and prancing and flashing everyone in the house and not expect there to be repercussions. When she was a little girl, this sort of thing was kind of cute, but now that she was 18, the natives, meaning my dad Fellow and my brother Farmer, were getting more than a little restless, especially when Flora would start flashing her stuff, but then lose her nerve and stop flashing her stuff, with her constant cyclical teasing, sometimes even downright cruel noncommittal exhibitionism. Meanwhile, my dad and my brother were going absolutely bananas, wanting to see more, needing to see more, and more than that, wanting, needing Flora to follow through with even more, something like a quick blow or a quick poke. That's what happens when you have a mom like ours. In contrast to Flora, my mom Felicia always liked to spoil us; my dad, my brother, and in particular, me Forest (not to be confused with that dimwit Forrest Gump, thank you very much – yeah, that went over really well in school), always giving us a not so quick blow or a not so quick poke, whenever we or she pleased, but never with more than one of us at once, which she believed was wrong. So, all things considered, Flora, with all her noncommittal exhibitionism, probably should have seen this one coming. A new family rule: Whenever Flora flashes one of us, we must, and I mean must, no discussion necessary, fuck her; mouth, pussy, or asshole. Right then and there.
The Mother-Fuckers Club: Tommy Pendleton was a very savvy, very put-together 18-year-old young man. Not your typical 18-year-old by any stretch of the imagination. However, this didn't mean he wasn't susceptible to the usual slings and arrows of teenage life, as far as the angst and alienation of high school. And it certainly didn't help when his mother married some old rich fuck from New England and moved Tommy, midway through his senior year, away from all his friends, what little he had, and put him in a completely new environment. Tommy was not happy. And he was pissed. And he didn't want to do anything the way he did before. He didn't really have time, anyway. He just got to this school and didn't know a soul. He wanted to take a completely different approach to basically everything, especially how he got pussy. And when his mother told him for the umpteenth time how sorry she was for uprooting him away from all his friends and everything he ever knew in life and how she would do anything to help ease his transition into his new school and his new life, Tommy finally decided to take his mother up on her offer. And thus, laid the groundwork for what would eventually become The Mother-Fuckers Club.
Luca's Naughty Bits: Luca's Naughty Bits is a series of short and sweet erotic tales. Some are stand alone stories, while some will be continuations. Eventually, there will be loads of these Luca's Naughty Bits stories and you'll be able to grab one or two at a time or go for the whole sha-bang when they're published in bulk. So be on the lookout for more Luca's Naughty Bits!

Mayoral Daimler bids pass $23k
Bids are rolling in during the final hours of a TradeMe auction of Christchurch's mayoral Daimler limousine.
The auction being run by Turners Auctions in association with the Christchurch City Council, at Mayor Lianne Dalziel's instigation, had attracted 130 bids by midday today.
The price tag was sitting at more than $23,300.
By 7.31pm tonight, the car will at long last have a new owner.
According to the questions and answers section on TradeMe, the car's speedometer is in miles per hour and displays 99,449mi.
A potential bidder asked, 'Have you thought of also offering this thing offshore?' to which the answer from Turners Auctions was: ''This car is a one-eyed Cantabrian.''
Another asked if the mayoral chains were included.
Turners Auctions said: ''I do not think they are for sale. I suspect you would have to work pretty hard to get them off their current caretaker. Your next opportunity is still a few years away.''
According to a ''visitor's book'', Queen Elizabeth II, Prince Philip, Prince Charles and the late Princess Dianna have all been in the car.
One potential bidder said the vehicle failed to start when Princess Anne visited the city's polytechnic in the 1980s.
''As Princess Anne was approaching the vehicle to leave the venue I had to summons half a dozen big beefy cops to push start the thing. It coughed into life with a push but the cops all swore the hand brake
was on,'' they said.
Turners Auctions said it wished the vehicle could talk, because ''it would have some great tales''.
''Hopefully the new owner gets to create some interesting adventures of their own. There is nothing quite like pushing two tonnes of good British steel for building a stiff upper lip.''
The auction for the Daimler is due to close about 7pm.
Proceeds will go to the Christchurch Earthquake Mayoral Relief Fund.

Reproduces aspects of human neurolog
MIT researchers and their colleagues have developed a new computational model of the human brain's face-recognition mechanism that seems to capture aspects of human neurology that previous models have missed.
The researchers designed a machine-learning system that implemented their model, and they trained it to recognize particular faces by feeding it a battery of sample images. They found that the trained system included an intermediate processing step that represented a face's degree of rotation — say, 45 degrees from center — but not the direction — left or right.
This property wasn't built into the system; it emerged spontaneously from the training process. But it duplicates an experimentally observed feature of the primate face-processing mechanism. The researchers consider this an indication that their system and the brain are doing something similar.
"This is not a proof that we understand what's going on," says Tomaso Poggio, a professor of brain and cognitive sciences at MIT and director of the Center for Brains, Minds, and Machines (CBMM), a multi-institution research consortium funded by the National Science Foundation and headquartered at MIT. "Models are kind of cartoons of reality, especially in biology. So I would be surprised if things turn out to be this simple. But I think it's strong evidence that we are on the right track."
Indeed, the researchers' new paper includes a mathematical proof that the particular type of machine-learning system they use, which was intended to offer what Poggio calls a "biologically plausible" model of the nervous system, will inevitably yield intermediary representations that are indifferent to angle of rotation.
Poggio, who is also a primary investigator at MIT's McGovern Institute for Brain Research, is the senior author on a paper describing the new work, which appeared today in the journal Computational Biology. He's joined on the paper by several other members of both the CBMM and the McGovern Institute: first author Joel Leibo, a researcher at Google DeepMind, who earned his PhD in brain and cognitive sciences from MIT with Poggio as his advisor; Qianli Liao, an MIT graduate student in electrical engineering and computer science; Fabio Anselmi, a postdoc in the IIT@MIT Laboratory for Computational and Statistical Learning, a joint venture of MIT and the Italian Institute of Technology; and Winrich Freiwald, an associate professor at the Rockefeller University.
The new paper is "a nice illustration of what we want to do in [CBMM], which is this integration of machine learning and computer science on one hand, neurophysiology on the other, and aspects of human behavior," Poggio says. "That means not only what algorithms does the brain use, but what are the circuits in the brain that implement these algorithms."
Poggio has long believed that the brain must produce "invariant" representations of faces and other objects, meaning representations that are indifferent to objects' orientation in space, their distance from the viewer, or their location in the visual field. Magnetic resonance scans of human and monkey brains suggested as much, but in 2010, Freiwald published a study describing the neuroanatomy of macaque monkeys' face-recognition mechanism in much greater detail.
Freiwald showed that information from the monkey's optic nerves passes through a series of brain locations, each of which is less sensitive to face orientation than the last. Neurons in the first region fire only in response to particular face orientations; neurons in the final region fire regardless of the face's orientation — an invariant representation.
But neurons in an intermediate region appear to be "mirror symmetric": That is, they're sensitive to the angle of face rotation without respect to direction. In the first region, one cluster of neurons will fire if a face is rotated 45 degrees to the left, and a different cluster will fire if it's rotated 45 degrees to the right. In the final region, the same cluster of neurons will fire whether the face is rotated 30 degrees, 45 degrees, 90 degrees, or anywhere in-between. But in the intermediate region, a particular cluster of neurons will fire if the face is rotated by 45 degrees in either direction, another if it's rotated 30 degrees, and so on.
This is the behavior that the researchers' machine-learning system reproduced. "It was not a model that was trying to explain mirror symmetry," Poggio says. "This model was trying to explain invariance, and in the process, there is this other property that pops out."
Neural training
The researchers' machine-learning system is a neural network, so called because it roughly approximates the architecture of the human brain. A neural network consists of very simple processing units, arranged into layers, that are densely connected to the processing units — or nodes — in the layers above and below. Data are fed into the bottom layer of the network, which processes them in some way and feeds them to the next layer, and so on. During training, the output of the top layer is correlated with some classification criterion — say, correctly determining whether a given image depicts a particular person.
Publicly traded corporation
Cook joined Apple in 1998 and was named its CEO in 2011. As chief executive, he has overseen the introduction of some of Apple's innovative and popular products, including iPhone 7 and Apple Watch. An advocate for equality and champion of the environment, Cook reminds audiences that Apple's mission is to change the world for the better, both through its products and its policies.
"Mr. Cook's brilliance as a business leader, his genuineness as a human being, and his passion for issues that matter to our community make his voice one that I know will resonate deeply with our graduates," MIT President L. Rafael Reif says. "I am delighted that he will join us for Commencement and eagerly await his charge to the Class of 2017."
Before becoming CEO, Cook was Apple's chief operating officer, responsible for the company's worldwide sales and operations, including management of Apple's global supply chain, sales activities, and service and support. He also headed the Macintosh division and played a key role in the development of strategic reseller and supplier relationships, ensuring the company's flexibility in a demanding marketplace.
"Apple stands at the intersection of liberal arts and technology, and we're proud to have many outstanding MIT graduates on our team," Cook says. "We believe deeply that technology can be a powerful force for good, and I'm looking forward to speaking to the Class of 2017 as they look ahead to making their own mark on the world."
Prior to joining Apple, Cook was vice president of corporate materials at Compaq, responsible for procuring and managing product inventory. Before that, he served as chief operating officer of the Reseller Division at Intelligent Electronics.
Cook also spent 12 years with IBM, ending as director of North American fulfillment, where he led manufacturing and distribution for IBM's personal computer company in North and Latin America.
Cook earned a BS in industrial engineering from Auburn University in 1982, and an MBA from Duke University in 1988.
"Tim Cook is a trailblazer and an inspiration to innovators worldwide," says Liana Ilutzi, president of MIT's Class of 2017. "He represents the best of the entrepreneurial and fearless spirit of the MIT community. While faithfully maintaining his integrity and humility, Tim runs one of the most influential companies on the planet. We are beyond excited to have him with us for Commencement!"
"We are looking forward to hearing Tim Cook speak at Commencement," says Graduate Student Council President Arolyn Conwill. "We believe that his innovative leadership at Apple, along with his commitment to advocacy on sustainability, security, and equality, will inspire graduates to make a far-reaching, positive impact on the world."
Cook joins a list of notable recent MIT Commencement speakers, including actor and filmmaker Matt Damon (2016); U.S. Chief Technology Officer Megan Smith '86 SM '88 (2015); DuPont CEO Ellen Kullman (2014); Dropbox co-founder and CEO Drew Houston '05 (2013); and Khan Academy founder Sal Khan '98, MEng '98 (2012).
"I am delighted with the selection of Tim Cook as the Commencement speaker," says Chancellor for Academic Advancement Eric Grimson, the longstanding chair of MIT's Commencement Committee. "Apple is widely viewed as a company that champions innovation, that seeks creative and inventive solutions to problems across a wide range of domains, and that looks to balance technology with issues of social good. These are all themes that are of great importance to our graduates, and I am sure his remarks will be an inspiration to them."
Computers that explain themselves
Machines that predict the future, robots that patch wounds, and wireless emotion-detectors are just a few of the exciting projects that came out of MIT's Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (CSAIL) this year. Here's a sampling of 16 highlights from 2016 that span the many computer science disciplines that make up CSAIL.
Robots for exploring Mars — and your stomach
- A team led by CSAIL director Daniela Rus developed an ingestible origami robot that unfolds in the stomach to patch wounds and remove swallowed batteries.
- Researchers are working on NASA's humanoid robot, "Valkyrie," who will be programmed for trips into outer space and to autonomously perform tasks.
- A 3-D printed robot was made of both solids and liquids and printed in one single step, with no assembly required.
Keeping data safe and secure
- CSAIL hosted a cyber summit that convened members of academia, industry, and government, including featured speakers Admiral Michael Rogers, director of the National Security Agency; and Andrew McCabe, deputy director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation.
- Researchers came up with a system for staying anonymous online that uses less bandwidth to transfer large files between anonymous users.
- A deep-learning system called AI2 was shown to be able to predict 85 percent of cyberattacks with the help of some human input.

A nightmare on Ames Street
"People are afraid of artificial intelligence, from autonomous cars making unethical decisions in accidents, to robots taking our jobs and causing mass unemployment, to runaway superintelligent machines obliterating humanity. Engineering pioneer and inventor Elon Musk famously said that as we develop AI, we are 'summoning the demon.'
Halloween is a time when people celebrate the things that terrify them. So it seems like a perfect occasion for an MIT project that explores society's fear of AI. And what better way to do this than have an actual AI literally scare us in an immediate, visceral sense? Postdoc Pinar Yanardhag, visiting scientist Manuel Cebrian, and I used a recently published, open-source deep neural network algorithm to learn features of a haunted house and apply these features to a picture of the Media Lab.
We also launched the Nightmare Machine website, where people can vote on which AI-generated horror images they find scary; these were generated using the same algorithm, combined with another recent algorithm for generating faces. So far, we've collected over 300,000 individual votes, and the results are clear: the AI demon is here, and it can terrify us. Happy Halloween!"
—Iyad Rahwan, AT&T Career Development Professor and an associate professor of media arts and sciences in the MIT Media Lab
Technique would reveal the basis
In recent years, the best-performing systems in artificial-intelligence research have come courtesy of neural networks, which look for patterns in training data that yield useful predictions or classifications. A neural net might, for instance, be trained to recognize certain objects in digital images or to infer the topics of texts.
But neural nets are black boxes. After training, a network may be very good at classifying data, but even its creators will have no idea why. With visual data, it's sometimes possible to automate experiments that determine which visual features a neural net is responding to. But text-processing systems tend to be more opaque.
At the Association for Computational Linguistics' Conference on Empirical Methods in Natural Language Processing, researchers from MIT's Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (CSAIL) will present a new way to train neural networks so that they provide not only predictions and classifications but rationales for their decisions.
"In real-world applications, sometimes people really want to know why the model makes the predictions it does," says Tao Lei, an MIT graduate student in electrical engineering and computer science and first author on the new paper. "One major reason that doctors don't trust machine-learning methods is that there's no evidence."
"It's not only the medical domain," adds Regina Barzilay, the Delta Electronics Professor of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science and Lei's thesis advisor. "It's in any domain where the cost of making the wrong prediction is very high. You need to justify why you did it."
"There's a broader aspect to this work, as well," says Tommi Jaakkola, an MIT professor of electrical engineering and computer science and the third coauthor on the paper. "You may not want to just verify that the model is making the prediction in the right way; you might also want to exert some influence in terms of the types of predictions that it should make. How does a layperson communicate with a complex model that's trained with algorithms that they know nothing about? They might be able to tell you about the rationale for a particular prediction. In that sense it opens up a different way of communicating with the model."
Virtual brains
Neural networks are so called because they mimic — approximately — the structure of the brain. They are composed of a large number of processing nodes that, like individual neurons, are capable of only very simple computations but are connected to each other in dense networks.
In a process referred to as "deep learning," training data is fed to a network's input nodes, which modify it and feed it to other nodes, which modify it and feed it to still other nodes, and so on. The values stored in the network's output nodes are then correlated with the classification category that the network is trying to learn — such as the objects in an image, or the topic of an essay.
Over the course of the network's training, the operations performed by the individual nodes are continuously modified to yield consistently good results across the whole set of training examples. By the end of the process, the computer scientists who programmed the network often have no idea what the nodes' settings are. Even if they do, it can be very hard to translate that low-level information back into an intelligible description of the system's decision-making process.
In the new paper, Lei, Barzilay, and Jaakkola specifically address neural nets trained on textual data. To enable interpretation of a neural net's decisions, the CSAIL researchers divide the net into two modules. The first module extracts segments of text from the training data, and the segments are scored according to their length and their coherence: The shorter the segment, and the more of it that is drawn from strings of consecutive words, the higher its score.
The segments selected by the first module are then passed to the second module, which performs the prediction or classification task. The modules are trained together, and the goal of training is to maximize both the score of the extracted segments and the accuracy of prediction or classification.
One of the data sets on which the researchers tested their system is a group of reviews from a website where users evaluate different beers. The data set includes the raw text of the reviews and the corresponding ratings, using a five-star system, on each of three attributes: aroma, palate, and appearance.
What makes the data attractive to natural-language-processing researchers is that it's also been annotated by hand, to indicate which sentences in the reviews correspond to which scores. For example, a review might consist of eight or nine sentences, and the annotator might have highlighted those that refer to the beer's "tan-colored head about half an inch thick," "signature Guinness smells," and "lack of carbonation." Each sentence is correlated with a different attribute rating.
Lets nonexperts optimize programs
Dynamic programming is a technique that can yield relatively efficient solutions to computational problems in economics, genomic analysis, and other fields. But adapting it to computer chips with multiple "cores," or processing units, requires a level of programming expertise that few economists and biologists have.
Researchers from MIT's Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (CSAIL) and Stony Brook University aim to change that, with a new system that allows users to describe what they want their programs to do in very general terms. It then automatically produces versions of those programs that are optimized to run on multicore chips. It also guarantees that the new versions will yield exactly the same results that the single-core versions would, albeit much faster.
In experiments, the researchers used the system to "parallelize" several algorithms that used dynamic programming, splitting them up so that they would run on multicore chips. The resulting programs were between three and 11 times as fast as those produced by earlier techniques for automatic parallelization, and they were generally as efficient as those that were hand-parallelized by computer scientists.
The researchers presented their new system last week at the Association for Computing Machinery's conference on Systems, Programming, Languages and Applications: Software for Humanity.
Dynamic programming offers exponential speedups on a certain class of problems because it stores and reuses the results of computations, rather than recomputing them every time they're required.
"But you need more memory, because you store the results of intermediate computations," says Shachar Itzhaky, first author on the new paper and a postdoc in the group of Armando Solar-Lezama, an associate professor of electrical engineering and computer science at MIT. "When you come to implement it, you realize that you don't get as much speedup as you thought you would, because the memory is slow. When you store and fetch, of course, it's still faster than redoing the computation, but it's not as fast as it could have been."
Outsourcing complexity
Computer scientists avoid this problem by reordering computations so that those requiring a particular stored value are executed in sequence, minimizing the number of times that the value has to be recalled from memory. That's relatively easy to do with a single-core computer, but with multicore computers, when multiple cores are sharing data stored at multiple locations, memory management become much more complex. A hand-optimized, parallel version of a dynamic-programming algorithm is typically 10 times as long as the single-core version, and the individual lines of code are more complex, to boot.
The CSAIL researchers' new system — dubbed Bellmania, after Richard Bellman, the applied mathematician who pioneered dynamic programming — adopts a parallelization strategy called recursive divide-and-conquer. Suppose that the task of a parallel algorithm is to perform a sequence of computations on a grid of numbers, known as a matrix. Its first task might be to divide the grid into four parts, each to be processed separately.
But then it might divide each of those four parts into four parts, and each of those into another four parts, and so on. Because this approach — recursion — involves breaking a problem into smaller subproblems, it naturally lends itself to parallelization.
Computers could be much more powerful than previously realized
Quantum computers promise huge speedups on some computational problems because they harness a strange physical property called entanglement, in which the physical state of one tiny particle depends on measurements made of another. In quantum computers, entanglement is a computational resource, roughly like a chip's clock cycles — kilohertz, megahertz, gigahertz — and memory in a conventional computer.
In a recent paper in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, researchers at MIT and IBM's Thomas J. Watson Research Center show that simple systems of quantum particles exhibit exponentially more entanglement than was previously believed. That means that quantum computers — or other quantum information devices — powerful enough to be of practical use could be closer than we thought.
Where ordinary computers deal in bits of information, quantum computers deal in quantum bits, or qubits. Previously, researchers believed that in a certain class of simple quantum systems, the degree of entanglement was, at best, proportional to the logarithm of the number of qubits.
"For models that satisfy certain physical-reasonability criteria — i.e., they're not too contrived; they're something that you could in principle realize in the lab — people thought that a factor of the log of the system size was the best you can do," says Ramis Movassagh, a researcher at Watson and one of the paper's two co-authors. "What we proved is that the entanglement scales as the square root of the system size. Which is really exponentially more."
That means that a 10,000-qubit quantum computer could exhibit about 10 times as much entanglement as previously thought. And that difference increases exponentially as more qubits are added.
Logical or physical?
This matters because of the distinction, in quantum computing, between logical qubits and physical qubits. A logical qubit is an abstraction used to formulate quantum algorithms; a physical qubit is a tiny bit of matter whose quantum states are both controllable and entangled with those of other physical qubits.
A computation involving, say, 100 logical qubits would already be beyond the capacity of all the conventional computers in the world. But with most of today's theoretical designs for general-purpose quantum computers, realizing a single logical qubit requires somewhere around 100 physical qubits. Most of the physical qubits are used for quantum error correction and to encode operations between logical qubits.
Since preserving entanglement across large groups of qubits is the biggest obstacle to developing working quantum devices, extracting more entanglement from smaller clusters of qubits could make quantum computing devices more practical.
Qubits are analogous to bits in a conventional computer, but where a conventional bit can take on the values 0 or 1, a qubit can be in "superposition," meaning that it takes on both values at once. If qubits are entangled, they can take on all their possible states simultaneously. One qubit can take on two states, two qubits four, three qubits eight, four qubits 16, and so on. It's the ability to, in some sense, evaluate computational alternatives simultaneously that gives quantum computers their extraordinary power.
Lead to fully automated speech recognition
Speech recognition systems, such as those that convert speech to text on cellphones, are generally the result of machine learning. A computer pores through thousands or even millions of audio files and their transcriptions, and learns which acoustic features correspond to which typed words.
But transcribing recordings is costly, time-consuming work, which has limited speech recognition to a small subset of languages spoken in wealthy nations.
At the Neural Information Processing Systems conference this week, researchers from MIT's Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (CSAIL) are presenting a new approach to training speech-recognition systems that doesn't depend on transcription. Instead, their system analyzes correspondences between images and spoken descriptions of those images, as captured in a large collection of audio recordings. The system then learns which acoustic features of the recordings correlate with which image characteristics.
"The goal of this work is to try to get the machine to learn language more like the way humans do," says Jim Glass, a senior research scientist at CSAIL and a co-author on the paper describing the new system. "The current methods that people use to train up speech recognizers are very supervised. You get an utterance, and you're told what's said. And you do this for a large body of data.
"Big advances have been made — Siri, Google — but it's expensive to get those annotations, and people have thus focused on, really, the major languages of the world. There are 7,000 languages, and I think less than 2 percent have ASR [automatic speech recognition] capability, and probably nothing is going to be done to address the others. So if you're trying to think about how technology can be beneficial for society at large, it's interesting to think about what we need to do to change the current situation. And the approach we've been taking through the years is looking at what we can learn with less supervision."
Joining Glass on the paper are first author David Harwath, a graduate student in electrical engineering and computer science (EECS) at MIT; and Antonio Torralba, an EECS professor.
Visual semantics
The version of the system reported in the new paper doesn't correlate recorded speech with written text; instead, it correlates speech with groups of thematically related images. But that correlation could serve as the basis for others.
If, for instance, an utterance is associated with a particular class of images, and the images have text terms associated with them, it should be possible to find a likely transcription of the utterance, all without human intervention. Similarly, a class of images with associated text terms in different languages could provide a way to do automatic translation.
Conversely, text terms associated with similar clusters of images, such as, say, "storm" and "clouds," could be inferred to have related meanings. Because the system in some sense learns words' meanings — the images associated with them — and not just their sounds, it has a wider range of potential applications than a standard speech recognition system.
To test their system, the researchers used a database of 1,000 images, each of which had a recording of a free-form verbal description associated with it. They would feed their system one of the recordings and ask it to retrieve the 10 images that best matched it. That set of 10 images would contain the correct one 31 percent of the time.
Fabricate drones with a wide range
This fall's new Federal Aviation Administration regulations have made drone flight easier than ever for both companies and consumers. But what if the drones out on the market aren't exactly what you want?
A new system from MIT's Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (CSAIL) is the first to allow users to design, simulate, and build their own custom drone. Users can change the size, shape, and structure of their drone based on the specific needs they have for payload, cost, flight time, battery usage, and other factors.
To demonstrate, researchers created a range of unusual-looking drones, including a five-rotor "pentacopter" and a rabbit-shaped "bunnycopter" with propellers of different sizes and rotors of different heights.
"This system opens up new possibilities for how drones look and function," says MIT Professor Wojciech Matusik, who oversaw the project in CSAIL's Computational Fabrication Group. "It's no longer a one-size-fits-all approach for people who want to make and use drones for particular purposes."
The interface lets users design drones with different propellers, rotors, and rods. It also provides guarantees that the drones it fabricates can take off, hover and land — which is no simple task considering the intricate technical trade-offs associated with drone weight, shape, and control.
"For example, adding more rotors generally lets you carry more weight, but you also need to think about how to balance the drone to make sure it doesn't tip," says PhD student Tao Du, who was first author on a related paper about the system. "Irregularly-shaped drones are very difficult to stabilize, which means that they require establishing very complex control parameters."
Du and Matusik co-authored a paper with PhD student Adriana Schulz, postdoc Bo Zhu, and Assistant Professor Bernd Bickel of IST Austria. It will be presented next week at the annual SIGGRAPH Asia conference in Macao, China.
Today's commercial drones only come in a small range of options, typically with an even number of rotors and upward-facing propellers. But there are many emerging use cases for other kinds of drones. For example, having an odd number of rotors might create a clearer view for a drone's camera, or allow the drone to carry objects with unusual shapes.
Designing these less conventional drones, however, often requires expertise in multiple disciplines, including control systems, fabrication, and electronics.
"Developing multicopters like these that are actually flyable involves a lot of trial-and-error, tweaking the balance between all the propellers and rotors," says Du. "It would be more or less impossible for an amateur user, especially one without any computer-science background."
But the CSAIL group's new system makes the process much easier. Users design drones by choosing from a database of parts and specifying their needs for things like payload, cost, and battery usage. The system computes the sizes of design elements like rod lengths and motor angles, and looks at metrics such as torque and thrust to determine whether the design will actually work. It also uses an "LQR controller" that takes information about a drone's characteristics and surroundings to optimize its flight plan.
One of the project's core challenges stemmed from the fact that a drone's shape and structure (its "geometry") is usually strongly tied to how it has been programmed to move (its "control"). To overcome this, researchers used what's called an "alternating direction method," which means that they reduced the number of variables by fixing some of them and optimizing the rest. This allowed the team to decouple the variables of geometry and control in a way that optimizes the drone's performance.
"Once you decouple these variables, you turn a very complicated optimization problem into two easy sub-problems that we already have techniques for solving," says Du. He envisions future versions of the system that could proactively give design suggestions, like recommending where a rotor should go to accommodate a desired payload.
"This is the first system in which users can interactively design a drone that incorporates both geometry and control," says Nobuyuki Umetani, a research scientist at Autodesk, Inc., who was not involved in the paper. "This is very exciting work that has the potential to change the way people design."
The project was supported, in part, by the National Science Foundation, the Air Force Research Laboratory and the European Union's Horizon 2020 research and innovation program.
Provided key Knowladge
This week the Association for Computer Machinery (ACM) announced its 2016 fellows, which include four principal investigators from MIT's Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (CSAIL): professors Erik Demaine, Fredo Durand, William Freeman, and Daniel Jackson. They were among the 1 percent of ACM members to receive the distinction.
"Erik, Fredo, Bill, and Daniel are wonderful colleagues and extraordinary computer scientists, and I am so happy to see their contributions recognized with the most prestigious member grade of the ACM," says CSAIL Director Daniela Rus, who herself was named a fellow last year. "All of us at CSAIL are very proud of these researchers for receiving these esteemed honors."
ACM's 53 fellows for 2016 were named for their distinctive contributions spanning such computer science disciplines as computer vision, computer graphics, software design, machine learning, algorithms, and theoretical computer science.
"As nearly 100,000 computing professionals are members of our association, to be selected to join the top 1 percent is truly an honor," says ACM President Vicki L. Hanson. "Fellows are chosen by their peers and hail from leading universities, corporations and research labs throughout the world. Their inspiration, insights and dedication bring immeasurable benefits that improve lives and help drive the global economy. "
Demaine was selected for contributions to geometric computing, data structures, and graph algorithms. His research interests include the geometry of understanding how proteins fold and the computational difficulty of playing games. He received the MacArthur Fellowship for his work in computational geometry. He and his father Martin Demaine have produced numerous curved-crease sculptures that explore the intersection of science and art — and that are currently in the Museum of Modern Art in New York.
A Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science (EECS) professor whose research spans video graphics and photo-generation, Durand was selected for contributions to computational photography and computer graphics rendering. He also works to develop new algorithms to enable image enhancements and improved scene understanding. He received the ACM SIGGRAPH Computer Graphics Achievement Award in 2016.

He was selected by ACM for contributions to software modeling and the creation of Alloy, a modeling language that has been used to find flaws in many designs and protocols. He is a MacVicar Fellow and also received this year's ACM SIGSOFT Impact Paper Award.
Moving target technique
When it comes to protecting data from cyberattacks, information technology (IT) specialists who defend computer networks face attackers armed with some advantages. For one, while attackers need only find one vulnerability in a system to gain network access and disrupt, corrupt, or steal data, the IT personnel must constantly guard against and work to mitigate varied and myriad network intrusion attempts.
The homogeneity and uniformity of software applications have traditionally created another advantage for cyber attackers. "Attackers can develop a single exploit against a software application and use it to compromise millions of instances of that application because all instances look alike internally," says Hamed Okhravi, a senior staff member in the Cyber Security and Information Sciences Division at MIT Lincoln Laboratory. To counter this problem, cybersecurity practitioners have implemented randomization techniques in operating systems. These techniques, notably address space layout randomization (ASLR), diversify the memory locations used by each instance of the application at the point at which the application is loaded into memory.
In response to randomization approaches like ASLR, attackers developed information leakage attacks, also called memory disclosure attacks. Through these software assaults, attackers can make the application disclose how its internals have been randomized while the application is running. Attackers then adjust their exploits to the application's randomization and successfully hijack control of vulnerable programs. "The power of such attacks has ensured their prevalence in many modern exploit campaigns, including those network infiltrations in which an attacker remains undetected and continues to steal data in the network for a long time," explains Okhravi, who adds that methods for bypassing ASLR, which is currently deployed in most modern operating systems, and similar defenses can be readily found on the Internet.
Okhravi and colleagues David Bigelow, Robert Rudd, James Landry, and William Streilein, and former staff member Thomas Hobson, have developed a unique randomization technique, timely address space randomization (TASR), to counter information leakage attacks that may thwart ASLR protections. "TASR is the first technology that mitigates an attacker's ability to leverage information leakage against ASLR, irrespective of the mechanism used to leak information," says Rudd.
To disallow an information leakage attack, TASR immediately rerandomizes the memory's layout every time it observes an application processing an output and input pair. "Information may leak to the attacker on any given program output without anybody being able to detect it, but TASR ensures that the memory layout is rerandomized before the attacker has an opportunity to act on that stolen information, and hence denies them the opportunity to use it to bypass operating system defenses," says Bigelow. Because TASR's rerandomization is based upon application activity and not upon a set timing (say every so many minutes), an attacker cannot anticipate the interval during which the leaked information might be used to send an exploit to the application before randomization recurs.
When TASR determines that the rerandomization must be performed, it pauses the running application, injects a randomizer component that performs the actual rewriting of code, then deletes the randomizer component from the application's memory, and resumes the application. This process protects the randomizer from infiltration. To change the memory layout of a running application without causing a crash, TASR updates all memory addresses stored in the application during rerandomization.
TASR has several advantages over other randomization techniques. It protects against all existing types of information leaks for memory corruption attacks, regardless of the specific method of attack (e.g., viruses, email phishing, access via the Internet) or type of vulnerability (e.g., logic flaws, race conditions, buffer overflows). TASR is flexible: it is compatible with full standard C language, does not require additional hardware, and is backward-compatible with legacy systems. Finally, performance evaluations carried out by the research team showed that the fully automated TASR technique incurs a low execution overhead of only about 2.1 percent.

Some visitors plan to spend all their time in the water or trekking the land, but this isn't something every vacationer desires. Thus, even though Kapok Hotel might not have the most impressive variety of recreational possibilities, it might still provide precisely the kind of setting you're wanting to find.
There is one pool at Kapok Hotel. With an abundance of activities to occupy your time, going to the pool may not be your top priority, but it can be a relaxing way to spend part of the day. Truthfully, even with access to a pool, many people enjoy the beach so much that they never use the pool during their stay.
You won't have to abandon your fitness routine while vacationing at Kapok Hotel; the exercise facility on-site includes the equipment you need to keep it going.
Though Kapok Hotel does not have a golf course, you could try to arrange a tee time nearby. The area's golf courses are Millennium Lakes Golf & Country Club, St. Andrews Golf Club, and Chaguaramas Golf Club. The lot of them are within traveling distance, and the closest of the bunch, St. Andrews Golf Club, is conveniently within cab distance, so hire a car and get a ride there for an enjoyable day of golfing. This course has 18 holes total. The total length is 6809 yards, and it's been rated a par 72. If you're considering reserving a tee time, contact the course at (868) 629-0066 ext. 26.
Although children are certainly welcome at Kapok Hotel, this lodging doesn't offer very many specifically family-focused amenities. To look instead at nearby choices that offer more amenities of this type, take a look at these properties recommended for families.
If you want easy access to vibrant nightlife and plenty of live shows, Kapok Hotel may not be your best pick. The hotel is usually rather subdued at night.
Fortunately, there is a bar on-site. This allows guests the opportunity to enjoy a drink and relax during their vacation.
If lady luck is calling your name, you can visit the closest casino, Golden Tulip Kapok Casino. It is about less than a hundred yards from Kapok Hotel.
In addition to what's available right on-location, visitors who like to explore will find no shortage of interesting recreational opportunities on Trinidad. From a simple morning on the water to some quality time at a museum, there are plenty of options. Check out these pages to read more about sightseeing, shopping, diving, fishing, snorkeling, and other activities.

Seoul, March 10 (Reuters): North Korea fired a cruise missile into the Sea of Japan today, ratcheting up tensions as it tries to force the US into nuclear negotiations at a time when Washingtons eyes are firmly on Iraq.
The US, which wants to keep the standoff with Pyongyang from hindering its buildup for possible war with Saddam Hussein, had anticipated the launch, the second in as many weeks, and played down its significance.
So had South Korea, after Pyongyang declared a maritime exclusion zone in the Sea of Japan from March 8 to 11.
The firing nonetheless caused Seouls stock markets to dip and helped push the won currency to a four-month low, adding to fears voiced by a Seoul private-sector think-tank that a prolonged nuclear crisis and any protracted Iraq conflict would slash 2003 growth prospects for Asias fourth-largest economy.
A Seoul defence ministry spokesman said the missile was fired at about 0300 GMT and appeared to be the same type as the North test-fired on February 24. We are still trying to find out exactly what type of missile it was, he added. Yonhap news agency quoted a senior official as saying the missile flew about 110 km.
The anti-ship missile North Korea fired into the same waters two weeks earlier was thought to be a version of a Chinese Silkworm missile. Last week, a Pentagon official said Washington was not overly concerned about the expected repeat launch. South Korea called for talks.
We regret any kind of action by North Korea to aggravate the situation that could threaten peace and prosperity on the Korean peninsula, said Lee Jihyun, foreign media spokeswoman for South Koreas presidential Blue House. We would like North Korea to engage in dialogue and resolve the nuclear issue, she said.
Japanese foreign ministry spokesman Hatsuhisa Takashima said a non-ballistic missile was not considered a direct threat to Japan.
But he added: We do not think that this is very favourable in light of the rather unstable situation created by North Koreas nuclear development.
In 1998, North Korea shocked the world by firing a Taepodong ballistic missile that flew over Japans main island of Honshu. Pyongyang-affiliated sources in Tokyo and Japanese media reports have predicted another ballistic missile launch amid the crisis.
While the US and its allies remained calm, North Koreas state media blasted US.
(The US) plan for a forestalling nuclear attack on the North is in the stage of practice beyond the stage of argument. What remains is when and how to ignite a nuclear war, said the Rodong Sinmun daily, the Norths ruling party mouthpiece.
Seouls Korea Economic Research Institute (KERI) said 2003 growth could tumble to 1.4 per cent compared with an estimated 6.2 per cent in 2002 in the worst case if a war against Iraq is prolonged and the North Korean nuclear crisis is not resolved.
Secretary of state Colin Powell said yesterday the US would eventually hold talks with the North Korea about the countrys nuclear ambitions, but reiterated the US view that others in Asia should help bring about an end to the standoff.
I think eventually we will be talking to North Korea, but were not going to simply fall into what I believe is a bad practice of saying the only way you can talk to us is directly when it affects other nations in the region, Powell said.
Powell told the CNN Late Edition television show a 1994 deal for North Korea to halt its nuclear programme had been the product of direct talks with the North that Pyongyang later set aside in pursuit of other ways to develop nuclear weapons. This time, we want a better solution that involves all the countries in the region, he said.
