Hello, my name is Dava Newman, and I'm a PhD candidate at UC Berkeley. I work in the field of artificial intelligence, and my research focuses on building computer models that can gain knowledge from experience. Recently, I've been working on a project called Testudo, which is a learning robot that uses a photocell to measure its surroundings. Testudo is able to learn by observing input samples, and its performance has been improving quickly. In this episode, we discuss Testudo's development, and I give you an overview of my research in artificial intelligence.

We define the Spartan-Testudo complex as being the entrenchment of particular cultural, political, social and other alternative traits which hamper one's mental and interactive mobility in the world today. For the Sikhs this complex is exemplified by the current wave of hyper-excessive woke liberalism as well as the polar opposite of traditional living with tradition being living as we did in the 18th century. We believe that both these clashing dichotomies are preventing the Panth's progression and argue for a third front, that of Sikh Revivalism shorn off traditionalist ossification and Upgrade dissolution of identity. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/the-sikh-renaissance/message

What is a mental health episode doing on The Productive Prosperity Podcast? Mental health, alongside physical health, is one of the greatest forces to boost or hinder productivity. Today's podcast is not overtly on productivity, but it reflects the fact that every Monday, I write a blog as a member of Moodscope.com This blog is to support other members (and myself) with an uplifting post that will give us some energy to face the challenges of the day. This podcast is 100% relevant to moving forward in life against opposition. The message is clear - we are at a disadvantage if we try this alone; together, we are stronger. Whenever you feel low, check out the free version of Moodscope (Moodscope.com) and consider joining not just for your sake but also as a buddy to help others. The magic of the Roman Testudo formation was that it only needed each member to look after one or two other for the whole unit to succeed. If you are enjoying good, robust mental health today, I'm willing to guess that this is in part because of having good support. Take today's podcast as a reminder to say, "Thank You!" to those who have shielded you when you've been through tough times. Oh, by the way, it's not just about tough times. The Testudo was strong enough to ride a chariot across. This meant it could be used to lift up others to continue their journey - the Testudo standing in the gap!

Temptation and discouragement do not have to stop us in our tracks. Our shield of faith can protect against any spiritual arrow the enemy wants to shoot at us.   Paul knew that the Roman soldiers were equipped for success in battle. The fact that he used their armor as an illustration says a great deal about what he believed our chances for victory are in spiritual battle. Today, we are looking at the fourth kind of spiritual armor from Ephesians 6. In Today's episode: What does a spiritual arrow from the enemy look like? How can we 'Take up the Shield of Faith' like Paul says to do? Why would the enemy want to target us? How our response to his attacks can be the preparation we need to go forward and do great things for God in the future. Hear missionaries talk about their strategic plans to take the Gospel to another land. Ephesians 6:16 In all circumstances take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming darts of the evil one. Illustration of the Roman soldier used by Paul in chapter 6 Paul spent lots of time around the Roman soldiers of his day. One time he had as many as 470 with him while he was being moved from one location to another (Acts 23:23) Roman soldiers were very successful agains their enemies… 3 Reasons for Success Equipment Physical Training Mindset Equipment ~ Shield -size of a small door (2 ft by 4ft) -thin strips of wood glued together and covered in canvas and leather -in middle, a round knob made of iron; used to knock down the enemy -shield weighed almost 22 pounds Physical Training -Endurance exercises including marching—have to travel about 20 miles in 5 hours, with all equipment on! -Fighting exercises including practicing strategic ways to use shields/different formation 1 More item necessary for survival… Mindset! Soldiers on the battlefield, closing in on the enemy, approaching enemy fortress… Critical moment that reveals whether the soldier has an attitude of trust in his leader. Their leader decides what formation to use Soldier could just try to protect himself…OR obey his leader and move into formation If there is going to be success, soldiers have to completely trust their leader Not only must he trust the ability of the leader to make good decisions, but also the leader’s character! -Trust that the leader was there to help, not secretly planning to hurt -Trust that the leader has best intentions and planning for the army’s success. Having this mindset of trusting the leader would have been critical, because if you really trusted him, you would naturally obey. You would take your shield, and move into the correct formation that the leader has decided to use. Recognizing the Spiritual Arrows There are spiritual attacks by our enemy, meant to target us in a particular way…keeping us from standing strong in the Lord. Understanding about these arrows will help us know how to use the shield of faith. 4 Main Parts of an Arrow Analogy The Nock: Reminds me of the timing of the shot. Enemy waits for just the right timing. The Fletching: Reminds me of the topic or subject area Satan will use to keep arrow on target. The Shaft: Reminds me of the actual deception; the goal of the enemy getting us to believe a lie about God. The Arrowhead: There are different types of arrowheads for different situations. The arrowhead is what this weapon is all about. The other 3 parts work together to accomplish 1 goal: getting the arrowhead on target. The arrowhead reminds me about: the kind of wound Satan wants us to have. And the best way to explain it is to show you what it looks like in action. First, we have to take a close look at the day Satan shot his first arrow at humans, in Genesis 3 Satan waits for the perfect timing (the nock). Eve seems to be near the tree with the forbidden fruit and it appears that God is not talking with them right now, like in the past. Satan waits for just the right time. The topic Satan uses to keep the deception on track (the fletching) is about whether or not the fruit will really hurt them. The lie (the shaft) —Satan told them that they would be like God. Eve begins too believe that God is not telling the truth The wound (the arrowhead) - ‘Satan wants her to believe that she cannot trust God”. He wants her to think that God is not protecting her from something bad, but instead, God is keeping her from something good!” Satan wants to wound her trust in God. God knew the effects and nature of evil. This infection of evil was what God wanted to protect Adam and Eve from. What Satan told Eve was partially true—she would know evil. But she would not know evil the way God did, without the contamination of evil. She would know evil by experience, and be infected by it for life. Satan wanted her to think God kept something good from her, but actually God was protecting her from something bad! This is what the arrow is all about. The intention is to wound our trust in Who God is. God had seen evil in action. He knew what it could do. He saw evil consume the angel Lucifer. He saw it change the angels that followed Lucifer to rebellion. God wanted to protect Adam and Eve from this. Satan puts a new idea into her head “I can’t really trust God?” “God is keeping me from something good." This was the kind of wound Satan brought, a wound to Eve’s attitude of trust in Who God is. When she believes God cannot be trusted, she looks at the tree in a different way. The arrow has worked: now, Eve thought the serpent was right… that God was not who she thought He was. He cannot be trusted. Adam and Eve eat the fruit Now, it become obvious that Satan’s arrow is a flaming arrow: And, just like fire, the flame spreads fast! Back to Ephesians 6 If a Roman solider was hit by a flaming arrow, there would not only just be the initial wound of the arrow, but the fire would bring more damage that spreads. The damage spread in Genesis 3, also. The physical intimacy between the first couple has changed (now they are wearing fig leaves) The relationship with God changed (now Adam is afraid and hiding from his Creator and Friend) The emotional intimacy between Adam and Eve has broken down (Adam blames his wife) Pain in childbearing Eve’s desire to rule over Adam Ground is cursed Work becomes harder Death comes Garden of Eden is no longer home But perhaps the greatest demonstration of the fire spreading is this…in Genesis 4:8. Cain rises up to kill his own brother. Just like fire spreads and does a great deal of damage—the enemy intends to do a lot of damage in our lives with his fiery arrows. - damage to our relationships, damage to our integrity and purity, damage to our testimony for God. It all began with Satan’s plan to deceive Eve about whether or not she could really trust God. This is at the heart of the deception. This is the kind of arrowhead that Satan uses to inflict wounds on God’s children. He wants to wound our trust in who God is. Why? Because Satan knows if we choose not to trust God, we will also not want to obey what God says. And the whole idea of standing strong in the Lord and having a consistent life of victory over temptation and discouragement: Satan knows it will all be an unattainable dream, and never a reality—if only he can convince us to NOT trust God. So, what could Eve have done and what can you and I do? Learning from the example of the soldier and the shield The soldier would need to trust in the ability and the character of his leader. He would need to trust that his leader is truly planning for victory. Evidence that the soldier would trust in his leader would be: 1- he would go and get into formation 2- he would march forward in the formation Eventally the group of soldiers would find themselves on the other side of the heat of the battle. Then they would be given orders to spread out again. In the spiritual battle that we face, success will be found in trusting in Who God is - trusting in His character and His love, believing the best about Him and not the worst. Examples of arrows and trusting: 2 types of arrows that our spiritual enemy shoots towards us: 1. An arrow of temptation This arrowhead is about convincing me that God is not protecting me from something bad, but instead, He is keeping me from something good. Satan wants me to be convinced that I cannot really trust God. The shield of faith is simple. Believe in WHO God is. That He truly is protecting you, that He truly has your best interest in mind. Trusting in Who God is will help you and I to take the immediate action of turning away from the temptation - like the soldier had to take the immediate action to go where his leader said to go and get in the correct formation. When the arrows were spotted in the sky, the leader would call out the formation to go and get into. Like the soldier, trust your leader and immediately do what you know that He would want you to do. 2. An arrow of discouragement, with the intention of getting us to become bitter against God. Trust in Who God is - that He is our loving Father and He has promised to never leave us or forsake us - that He is working behind the scenes on our behalf, working all things out for good. Trusting in His character will help you and I to immediately move away from the temptation to become bitter against God and move to a place of contentment and resting in God. The Formation If the Testudo formation was called out, the soldiers would get in formation and, at their leader's command, begin marching forward. The arrows would be hitting their shields from above and they would continue forward. Eventually, they would find themselves on the otherside of the difficult part of the battle. The shield formation for the soldiers can be compared to a Bible passage for us. After we take the immediate action of moving away from the temptation to sin, and moving away from the temptation to become bitter against God - we need to move to a Bible passage. Ask God to give you some Bible passages that you can go to during these times. Find portions of Scripture that deal with the area that you are dealing with. Think on these verses. Obeying what the Scripture teaches would be similar to the idea of the soldiers marching forward in the formation. Eventually, I believe you will find yourself on the otherside of the 'heat of the battle'. Having this mindset of "Trusting in Who God is" will help you to ... 1. Immediately do what you know that God wants you to do 2. Believe what God has said in the Scripture And, trusting in Who God is will also prepare us to go forward and do great things for God in the future. Ephesians 2:10 For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them. God has important things prepared for you to do! Satan has seen so many people throughout history do great things for God. Many are recorded in Hebrews 11. Perhaps this is one of the reasons that he sends fiery darts our way. Because these followers of God first trusted God in their personal lives, they had the confidence to trust God for greater things - that eventually became public! When temptation or discouragement comes your way, trust in Who God is. Enjoy the victory that comes from using the shield of faith!   Interview with Kyle and Chelsea If you would like to help support Kyle and Chelsea financially, please go to: www.give.cru.org and in the search box put 0656969

Week 6 at the Barn in our series on the Full Armor of God (Ephesians 6:10-20). This week: Faith and Friendship, two things that "go great together." Have you taken up the shield of faith? Are you a friend, and do you have friends that shield one another? "Testudo!" the Roman Legion's call for a tightly compacted, shoulder to shoulder, shield to shield formation to provide "group defense" against flaming arrows is something we should pray for AND work for in our lives.

Alex Kirshner, Dave Tucker, Andrew Emmer and Pete Volk discuss Maryland basketball's recent woes and the upcoming game against Indiana. Can the Terps right the ship against the team that started the slump?

As the football season draws to a close, Andrew, Pete and Dave take a deep look at the final game against RuHAHAHAHA oh my god we had you going didn't we? Maryland basketball just went into a hostile environment and knocked off a top 15 Iowa State team, freshman phenom Melo Trimble scored 31 the night before and Terrapin sports are riding high! Join us in the revalry. Also we do talk a little about football. 

Pete Volk, Andrew Emmer and Alex Kirshner talk Terps. The first 30 minutes or so is about football -- we start with quick thoughts on the handshake incident and move on to the season at large, talking about the Wisconsin game, the Penn State game and what remains of the schedule. From there we talk about basketball -- thoughts from the San Francisco State scrimmage, predictions for the lineup from this point out and what we want to see against Bowie State.

Alex joins Andrew to talk football, telling us what the coaches have been saying prior to the Indiana game and what the reaction has been to the win over Syracuse.

It's West Virginia hate week for Maryland, so we've got plenty of talk about the Mountaineers. Full (approximate) schedule:0:00-15:00: Basketball recruiting!

Thyroid parameters in tortoises and turtles frequently presented at the veterinary practise The present study is concerned with the examination of thyroid parameters in those tortoisespecies frequently presented at the veterinary practise. 338 tortoises and turtles were examined over a period of one year. The examinations included case history, clinical examinations, diagnosis and determination of fT3, fT4, T3, and T4 levels by way of electrochemiluminescence immunoassay and sonographic examinations of the thyroid gland with determination of the thyroid size by measuring. One of the first steps was to determine the thyroid hormone concentrations of fT3, fT4, T3, T4 in 103 healthy tortoises and turtles. Subsequently the levels were examined for dependencies regarding species, age, sex, and season. This revealed significantly higher fT4- and T4-concentrations in turtles compared to tortoises. A diagnostical dependence regarding age, sex, and season could not be detected. Accordingly a reference range, defined as 95% percentile interval, was established for those tortoises frequently presented at the veterinary practise (Testudo hermanni, Testudo graeca, Testudo marginata, Agrionemys horsfieldii). In a second step the fT3, fT4, T3, and T4 concentrations of 235 ill tortoises were determined. The animals were divided according to manner and severity of their illness into three groups (slightly ill animals, profoundly ill animals, and animals under medication by Allopurinol). Significant differences were revealed in the thyroid hormone concentrations of healthy compared to profoundly ill animals. The main parameter for diagnostic use, it became, is apparently fT3. There is evidence suggesting an increase of this parameter in excess of the reference range indicates that the animals suffer from a severe illness with possibly fatal consequences. This test has a high specificity and a comparatively low sensitivity. At the same time the thyroid glands of 338 tortoises were examined sonographically. Position, shape, echogenicity and echotexture were described. The maximum diameter of the thyroid gland was established and put in relation to the body weight. Dependencies between the size of the thyroid and the state of health or illness on the one hand and the concentration of thyroid hormones on the other hand were checked. This showed that animals under medication by Allopurinol frequently feature bigger thyroid glands than healthy animals. A correlation between thyroid hormone concentration and thyroid-size could not be proven. The results of this study are compared to evidence from to literary references and the diagnostical applicability is discussed.
