Teaching abroad allows you to broaden your perspective on the world at large and how different families and cultures approach education and teaching. It also helps you to continue to grow in your teaching in different contexts to meet the needs of a variety of students

The War Department, however, barred black troops from combat and relegated black soldiers to segregated service units where they worked as general laborers

Scandinavians and German immigrants (the largest immigrant group in America) declared both their neutrality and their general impression that Germany’s culture was superior to that of its European rivals.

Voxel grids are a geometry representation that meets (almost all of) the our desiderata -- we actually used them already in order to efficiently down-sample a point cloud. In this representation we discretize some finite volume of 3D space into a grid of fixed-size cubes; let's say 1 cm3. We mark each of these cubes as either occupied or unoccupied (or more generally, we can have a probability of being occupied). Then, for collision-free motion planning, we treat the occupied cubes as collision geometry to be avoided. Many collision queries with voxel grids can be fast (and are easily parallelized). In particular the sphere-on-voxel collision query can be very fast, which is one of the reasons that you see a number of collision geometries in the Drake models that are approximate with densely packed spheres. Figure Updating a voxel grid with points clouds is also efficient. In order to scale voxel representations to have both fine resolution and to be able to represent very large scenes, we can make use of clever data structures

Unknown (potentially dynamic) environments

If you only see one half of a mustard bottle, then the instantaneous sensor readings simply don't contain enough information to plan a grasp; somehow we must infer something about what the back of the object looks like (aka "shape completion", though it need not be done explicitly). The reason that you would have a good guess at what the back half of the mustard bottle looks like is because you've interacted with mustard bottles before -- it is the statistics of the objects you've interacted with that provides the missing information. So learning isn't just a convenience here, it's fundamental. We'll discuss learning-based perception soon!

The Rocket's triumphswere the people's triumphs. His rare defeats were their defeats.And no defeat was as personal, as galling, as the suspensionthat NHL president Clarence Campbell had handed Richard the daybefore all hell broke loose.

He had started playing this game as a 4-year-old on the backyard rink his father Onésime, a machinist at the Canadian Pacific Railway, built for him. It was quickly apparent he could play in ways other boys could not. By the time he reached his teens, his skills were in such high demand he played as often as he could, sometimes four games in a weekend, using aliases to play for multiple teams, often against grown men. The oldest of eight children, he quit school at 16 to work with his father in the factory. He began playing junior hockey the following year.

Paulo Freire is one of the most important critical educators of the 20th century

Task A task is a named SQL query that is loaded into the server on startup. Tasks are defined in .sql files in the simple goyesql format. Such queries are self-contained and produce the desired final output with neatly named columns. They can take arbitrary positional arguments for execution. A task can be

In these flip-side examples, how did it go? Yes, everything went fine! We could even say ‘perfect’ because you used language successfully to get something done. Instead of ‘practice makes perfect’, we could say ‘practice makes proficient’.
