TensorFlow is the tool of choice for building deep learning applications. In this course, you'll learn how the neurons in neural networks learn non-linear functions, and how neural networks execute operations such as regression and classification.​

TensorFlow is the tool of choice for building deep learning applications. In this course, you'll learn how the neurons in neural networks learn non-linear functions, and how neural networks execute operations such as regression and classification.

TensorFlow is all about building neural networks that can "learn" functions, and linear regression can be learnt by the simplest possible neural network - of just 1 neuron! In contrast, the XOR function requires 3 neurons arranged in 2 layers, and smart image recognition can require thousands of neurons. In this course, Building Regression Models using TensorFlow, you'll learn how the neurons in neural networks learn non-linear functions.

First, you'll begin by learning functions such as XOR, and how to train different gradient descent optimizers. Next, you'll dive into the implications of choosing activation functions, such as softmax and ReLU. Finally, you'll explore the use of built-in estimators in Tensorflow. By the end of this course, you'll have a better understanding of how neurons "learn", and how neural networks in TensorFlow are set up and trained to execute operations such as regression and classification.

TTC Video - The Apocryphal Jesus
Course No. 6371 | .MP4, AVC, 680 kbps, 856x480 | English, AAC, 125 kbps, 2 Ch | 24x30 mins | + PDF Guidebook | 4.27 GB
Lecturer: David Brakke, Ph.D., M.Div.​

The New Testament gives us 27 canonical texts-gospels, letters, and more-but these works are only a tiny fraction of the many volumes written about the life of Jesus, his family, and the apostles. This alternative body of literature falls under the category of "apocrypha," which means "hidden" or "secret," and it offers fascinating insights into the early Christian world and how different groups understood the teachings of Jesus and the first apostles.


These early Christian apocryphal works, which range from infamous texts such as the Gospel of Thomas to obscure fragments such as the Gospel According to the Egyptians, are more than historical curiosities. The canonical Bible is one of the most influential books in all of Western history, but you might be surprised to find out how many gaps and contradictions the New Testament contains. For instance, if you only read the gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John, you might wonder:

Why does the Catholic Church venerate the Virgin Mary when she plays such a surprisingly minor role in the canonical gospels?
How did many come to believe that three wise men visited the infant Jesus? And who were they and where did they come from?
Where did the story of Peter's upside-down crucifixion come from?

Much of what we know about Jesus today actually comes from apocryphal sources rather than the Bible. The Apocryphal Jesus is your chance to learn about the breadth and depth of the early Christian world from a variety of sources-many of which were considered heretical at various times in history. Over the course of 24 revealing lectures, Professor David Brakke of The Ohio State University takes you on a tour of this world and surveys the major apocryphal works that have survived. From forged letters to recently discovered gospels, The Apocryphal Jesus explores the stories and ideas that shaped the foundations of early Christian thought-and continue to influence Christianity today.

Deepen Your Understanding of Figures from the New Testament

In the early centuries of Christianity, there was a concerted effort among church leaders to shape a single narrative, which led to the New Testament canon. Because it has widely been accepted as the official version of Christian doctrine, we tend to think of the New Testament as complete and comprehensive-which you will discover is far from the truth. Early Christian writing contained genres galore, including:

Gospels
Letters
Novels
Apocalypse narratives
And more

Early Christian authors wrote reams of literature about Jesus, his family, and the apostles, drawing from an even larger oral tradition. Because of the sheer volume of this material, these writers often struggled to create a signal through the noise, with some writers resorting to penning forged works under the guise of better known figures, including Paul and even Jesus himself. Other writers declared their works "secret" or "hidden" as a way to drum up interest.

Even though only a tiny portion of apocryphal works survive today-many as mere fragments discovered recently in the 20th and even 21st centuries-reviewing this literature gives us a host of new angles on well-known figures from the Bible, as well as insights that can't be found anywhere in the New Testament. In this course, you will:

Examine the cult of Mary and her special status in the Church through the Proto-Gospel of James and the Gospel of Mary.
Consider how Mary could be a virgin while married to Joseph-and why Joseph seems to disappear from the record of Jesus' life and where he may have been.
Explore what Jesus may have been like as a boy, and learn how he may have debate the apostles through various "dialogic gospels" and "agrapha" during his ministry.
Re-consider Judas Iscariot with the Gnostic vision presented in the Gospel of Judas.
Learn about the strengths and weakness of Peter as he performs miracles and is ultimately martyred in the Gospel of Peter and Acts of Peter.

By studying these works and more, you will fill in many of the gaps and resolve contradictions from the New Testament. Not only will you learn more about the names you already know, you will also see how the ideas from these works made their way into mainstream Christian belief, even if they were excluded from the Bible itself.

Gain New Insights into Early Christian Thought and Culture

Professor Brakke explores a wealth of apocryphal narratives, giving you deep insights into the stories and ideas of the early Christian era that were omitted from the accepted version of the New Testament. For instance, in the Infancy Gospel of Thomas, you will meet Jesus as a child and see that, while he may always have had a spark of the divine inside him, he also may have experienced the same restlessness and rebelliousness as ordinary children.

One of the most fascinating apocryphal works is the Gospel of Thomas, which has been deemed heretical and inspired the Hollywood film Stigmata. What you'll learn is that this gospel is a collection of Jesus' sayings, a wisdom book like Song of Solomon or Proverbs in the Old Testament, and it promotes a radically different interpretation of Jesus' teachings than the traditional narrative, a sort of "road not taken" for Christian theology.

Together, these stories do more than reveal new perspectives on theology. They tell us much about early Christian thought and culture, including:

The relationship between Christianity and Jewish law
The value of celibacy versus marriage
The role of women in Christian society and the church
The nature of Hell and the afterlife

You'll also find out how the Roman Empire shaped early Christianity. The Roman Pontius Pilate may have crucified Jesus, but that fact became awkward once the seat of the church moved to Rome. Books like the Gospel of Nicodemus and the Acts of Pilate refashioned him as a sympathetic figure-perhaps even a saint-thus exonerating the Romans from the crucifixion.

The Ideal Course for Skeptics, Seekers, and Believers

Throughout this course, Professor Brakke explores more than 20 New Testament apocryphal texts, giving you a comprehensive look at the early Christian world as well as a sensitive reading of complex and often contradictory narratives. Along the way, you will discover the early Christians' view of human nature and the world, their conception of God, and their reactions to the life and teachings of Jesus.

The Apocryphal Jesus is a must-have course for anyone interested in rounding out their knowledge of early Christianity. Skeptics, seekers, believers, and audiences of all backgrounds will find something new and exciting to learn here, and you will come away with a better understanding of the foundations of Christianity, and learn how the echoes of early Christian ideas can still be heard today.

TTC Video - Scientific Secrets for a Powerful Memory
Course No. 1965 | .M4V, AVC, 1500 kbps, 640x480 | English, AAC, 128 kbps, 2 Ch | 6x30 mins | 2.12 GB
Lecturer: Peter M. Vishton, Ph.D.​

What was the name of your first pet? Where did you put your house keys? How do you get to work every morning? Most likely, you didn't need to look up the answers to these questions. You remembered them. Memory is, without a doubt, the most powerful (and practical) tool of everyday life. By linking both your past and your future, memory gives you the power to plan, to reason, to perceive, and to understand. As long as thinking and insight are important in how we live our lives, memory will be critical as well. And the better your memory, the more information you'll have at your immediate disposal and the better your thinking will be.


Yet while all of us have an amazing capacity for memory, there are plenty of times when it seems to fail us. Why does this happen? And how can you fix it?

According to award-winning Professor Peter M. Vishton of The College of William & Mary, an engaging cognitive scientist who has spent decades studying the secrets of human memory, the problem is simple. "Our brains were not really built for the types of memory challenges we give them in classrooms, offices, and throughout our daily lives,"he says. "So the central trick to enhancing the power of your memory is to transform things that are hard to remember into things that are easier for your brain to encode and later recall."

This insight lies at the heart of his captivating course Scientific Secrets for a Powerful Memory. In just six engaging and interactive lectures, you'll explore the real research (not the fads) on how memory functions-and then apply these findings to help you make better use of the memory abilities you have. By tapping into a series of scientifically proven strategies, tricks, and techniques, and by practicing them through dynamic exercises led by Professor Vishton, you'll emerge from the end of this short course with the ability to process information more effectively and to increase your chance of remembering almost anything you want.

Discover How Remarkable Memory Is

Throughout this course, Professor Vishton continually focuses on just how remarkable memory is-and how easily it can be strengthened, enhanced, and improved at any age.

"We may have trouble remembering phone numbers, names, where we left our keys, or facts for an exam,"he says. "All of these failings, however, are not due to limitations of your brain to encode and store information. We all have this capacity, and to a remarkable level!"

The most important way to improve your memory performance and to remember information accurately and for a long time, according to Professor Vishton, is to transform that information into something that's easier for your brain to remember and use, like a distinct visual image or a simple string of letters. Essentially all of the techniques you learn about in Scientific Secrets for a Powerful Memory center on this single goal.

Build Your Mental Tool Kit

So what are some of the powerful skills you'll be able to add to your mental tool kit? Throughout these lectures, you'll learn about a range of methods and techniques designed to boost your memory's powers.

The Major System: How can you convert hard-to-remember numbers (such as birthdays, identification numbers, or parking lot zones) into easy-to-remember images? Developed in 1648, the Major System assigns a particular phonetic consonant sound to the digits 0 through 9. When you intersperse vowels and other non-Major consonants, you can make words of items that you can easily imagine.
The Method of Loci: Credited to the Greek poet Simonides, the Method of Loci is one of the simplest and most effective tricks for memorizing information. If you can tie the information-whether it's a shopping list or the names of the last 15 U.S. presidents-to known, physical locations, then your memory for it will be dramatically improved compared with simply attempting to recall the information off the top of your head.
Chunking: Studies have shown that people can hold about seven meaningful, self-coherent items (such as letters or entire sentences) in their short-term memory (known as "chunks"). From this perspective, these seven storage locations can actually hold a nearly unlimited number of things. All you have to do is learn to pack more information into each of these seven chunks using the other strategies explored in the course.

And those are only a few of the insights you'll find. You'll also get tips on everything from how best to study for an exam to proven ways for transferring information from your short-term to your long-term memory.

Unlock Your Memory's Untapped Potential

"I've long been fascinated with human cognition and the brain,"notes Professor Vishton, named one of the best 300 professors in America by The Princeton Review. "And since the beginning of my time studying psychology, I've also been interested in memory."

His amazement at the strength and capabilities of human memory is one you'll most certainly be agreeing with as you learn from each of his expertly crafted lectures. With his wealth of experience both teaching and researching the mysteries of memory and the human mind, Professor Vishton offers you the model guide for improving your own everyday memory.

And to expand on your skills and put them to work, he's filled these six lectures with short exercises you can perform as you watch or listen. Pause the course and work on the examples or test your newfound skills at the end of each lecture; there are plenty of opportunities for you to practice what you've learned.

We've all long held people with fantastic memories as somehow superhuman; but the truth is that anyone can be a memory whiz-provided they know the skills for doing so. And now Scientific Secrets for a Powerful Memory offers you the key to unlocking your memory's vast, untapped potential.

Hany Rambod - FST-7 Defined
DVDRip | English | AVI | 640 x 464 | AVC ~1503 kbps | 23.976 fps
MP3 | 128 Kbps | 48.0 KHz | 2 channels | 01:30:27 | 1.03 GB
Genre: eLearning Video / Bodybuilding
"FST-7 Defined" is Hany Rambod's movie covering the famous training program. Hany shows how FST-7 helps bodybuilding's top stars including Mr. Olympia Jay Cutler.​

With 13 Olympia titles to his credit, Hany Rambod, otherwise known as "The Pro Creator," is the mastermind behind some of the top physiques in the world. He graduated from the University of California, Santa Barbara with a bachelor's degree in Biology and an emphasis in Neurophysiology. Shortly after graduation, Hany began consulting with top athletes in bodybuilding, fitness, figure, bikini, pro football, and Olympic track & field.

FST-7 stands for Fascial Stretch Training and the seven refers to 7 sets performed usually as the final exercise of a target bodypart. Basically you train that bodypart on any given day heavy as you normally would keeping the rep range between 8-12, but the last exercise you perform the seven sets to finish off that particular muscle, with minimal rest in between to get the best pump possible.

You should refrain from using compound lifts as your "seven set," because they require balance and the use of ancillary muscles which takes focus off the target muscle. Machines and cables are a good idea and free wights like barbell curls and skull crushers also work well for this "seven set". Perform your "seven set" at the end of the workout for that muscle group.

The goal is to bring as much vitamins, minerals, amino acids, oxygen etc. into the muscle, and also stretch the fascia surrounding it to help encourage maximal muscle growth. The fascia is the limiting factor in acheiving muscle growth because the mucsle will grow only as much as there is room for it to do so. This training system is targeted to stretch the fascia and allow more room, instead of limiting muscle growth.

*Restricting the "seven sets" as your last exercise is recommended for new users of this training principle. This will allow you to lift heavy for first few exercises before taking the muscle to failure. There are many other variations for advanced users, including "front-loading the seven sets," that can be discussed to allow creativity in your workouts to shock and further stretch the fascia and enhance muscle growth.

TTC Video - Essentials of Tai Chi and Qigong
24xDVDRip | English | M4V + PDF Guide | 570 x 322 | AVC ~295 kbps | 29.970 fps

Genre: eLearning Video / Health, Qigong
If you've ever seen a group of people moving in exquisitely graceful dance-like exercises in your local park, gym, or community center, you have witnessed the ancient Chinese arts of tai chi (taiji) and qigong. These ordinary people are improving their health, strength, balance, concentration, and mental well-being-and they are having fun while doing it! Best of all, you can enjoy all these benefits yourself, regardless of your current level of physical fitness.​

Tai chi is a philosophy of balance and a pinnacle of the martial arts, known as tai chi chuan (or taijiquan), which means "the ultimate martial art." Qigong, which is traditionally studied alongside tai chi, means "energy exercise." Together, these two disciplines are transforming the way people take care of themselves. No need for high-intensity workouts that focus on a limited set of muscles and leave you feeling drained. Instead there is a better, centuries-old way to exercise that has these advantages:

The slow-motion moves of tai chi and qigong utilize more of your muscles than other exercises, giving you a total-body workout.
Tai chi and qigong are meditation in motion. You lose yourself in the rhythmic flow of the forms. Anxiety and the cares of daily life dissolve away.
The documented medical effects of tai chi and qigong include improved heart, lung, bone, and mental health, and an enhanced immune system.
Tai chi and qigong require no equipment. You can do them anywhere and need only enough space "for an ox to lie down," as the traditional expression puts it.
People of all ages enjoy tai chi and qigong, while the low intensity of the poses makes them especially well suited for older people.

Essentials of Tai Chi and Qigong is a complete introduction to the practice, history, benefits, and philosophy of these immensely rewarding activities. In 24 half-hour lessons, you learn the fundamentals of tai chi and qigong from an internationally renowned tai chi champion and trainer, David-Dorian Ross, who has been practicing tai chi for more than 35 years.

No other presentation of these venerable arts is as comprehensive and enjoyable. Unfailingly friendly and helpful, Mr. Ross explains each movement in easy-to-follow steps. He has a gift for anticipating a beginner's questions, leaving no doubt about how you should be positioned for each pose.

And where other video products exist that emphasize mimicking an instructor's choreography, which can end in boredom or burnout, this course is a multi-layered combination of practical instruction aimed at physical and mental health, together with deep insight into how to motivate and enrich movement and mindfulness in your own life, using the best of qigong and tai chi.

Those already experienced in tai chi and qigong will gain an unprecedented scope of understanding and will find Mr. Ross's mindset and detailed instructions invaluable for refining their own skills. And his presentation of background topics, such as Chinese philosophy, medicine, and martial arts history, will enrich the practice of tai chi and qigong for everyone.

Master the World's Most Popular Tai Chi Routine

Each lesson of Essentials of Tai Chi and Qigong starts with a standing qigong exercise to get you energized. In the middle, you perform an easy tai chi movement to get you into the flow. You conclude each lesson with a posture from the Yang family short form, the best known of the different tai chi styles. The 24-movement Yang family short form, often called simply the short form, is the most widely recognized and performed tai chi routine in the world. When you see tai chi practitioners in the park-from Beijing to San Francisco to Paris-they are most likely doing the short form. By mastering one segment of the short form in each lesson, you will be able to join them, and even step out on your own, in no time!

The short form includes such memorable movements as Parting the Wild Horse's Mane, White Crane Spreads Wings, and Waving Hands Like Clouds. The names are mnemonics to help you remember the graceful shapes you create as you take a step, turn, raise your arms, and then move forward, back, or to the side, making a distinctive figure depending on the movement. One posture beautifully merges with the next, with moves that are the foundation for many other tai chi routines.

You also learn about four other family styles of tai chi, as well as personal modifications you can make so that tai chi and qigong will work for you, no matter what your level of fitness or flexibility.You even investigate rudimentary weapons exercises, as well as a two-person exercise of tai chi, called push hands, that you play with a partner.

For instance, in the Infancy Gospel of Thomas, you will meet Jesus as a child and see that, while he may always have had a spark of the divine inside him, he also may have experienced the same restlessness and rebelliousness as ordinary children.

One of the most fascinating apocryphal works is the Gospel of Thomas, which has been deemed heretical and inspired the Hollywood film Stigmata. What you'll learn is that this gospel is a collection of Jesus' sayings, a wisdom book like Song of Solomon or Proverbs in the Old Testament, and it promotes a radically different interpretation of Jesus' teachings than the traditional narrative, a sort of "road not taken" for Christian theology.

Together, these stories do more than reveal new perspectives on theology. They tell us much about early Christian thought and culture, including:

The relationship between Christianity and Jewish law
The value of celibacy versus marriage
The role of women in Christian society and the church
The nature of Hell and the afterlife

You'll also find out how the Roman Empire shaped early Christianity. The Roman Pontius Pilate may have crucified Jesus, but that fact became awkward once the seat of the church moved to Rome. Books like the Gospel of Nicodemus and the Acts of Pilate refashioned him as a sympathetic figure-perhaps even a saint-thus exonerating the Romans from the crucifixion.

The Ideal Course for Skeptics, Seekers, and Believers

Throughout this course, Professor Brakke explores more than 20 New Testament apocryphal texts, giving you a comprehensive look at the early Christian world as well as a sensitive reading of complex and often contradictory narratives. Along the way, you will discover the early Christians' view of human nature and the world, their conception of God, and their reactions to the life and teachings of Jesus.

The Apocryphal Jesus is a must-have course for anyone interested in rounding out their knowledge of early Christianity. Skeptics, seekers, believers, and audiences of all backgrounds will find something new and exciting to learn here, and you will come away with a better understanding of the foundations of Christianity, and learn how the echoes of early Christian ideas can still be heard today.
