The Approach P Apartment in Paris The beauty that is so obvious in this Parisian apartment is in the stark contrast of the use and proportion of the stone designed within a space that uses minimal details. P Apartment by Claudio Silvestrin Architects while resembling a monastery at first glance, is more like an art gallery when taken for a closer look. Every piece of furniture is custom designed by Claudio Silvestrin except for a Wegner Chair. From the 13m long cast bronze kitchen bar to the flushed mounted wall television, these architectural details have been beautifully positioned and installed. And every view from the penthouse apartment is intentionally designed to frame the amazing Paris skyline. Its contrast from the usual highly decorative Parisian architecture and from the busy city is perhaps a much welcomed escape. Photos by James Morris.

My friend won this from a sticker machine in a taqueria Japan by Bicycle After living in Japan for over two years Andrew decided to return to America. To end his time in Japan, he cycled the entire country from south to north with his friends Scott and Dylan. At night they camped or stayed with hosts. Their route stretched 3500 km, took 43 days, and wound through many incredible destinations in Japan such as Nagasaki, Hiroshima, Kyoto, Mt. Fuji, the Japanese Alps, the beautiful NW coast, and the plains of Hokkaido. Only one month before the start date of their trip, Japan was devastated by an 8.9 earthquake which triggered a 30 ft tsunami. Although the trip was never intended to be a fundraiser, all three of them easily agreed that they should try their best to raise money for the victims of the earthquake and tsunami. Completing the trip was one of Andrew's major life goals. Watch the full documentary now -

A research team simulated word learning and showed that a specific strategy, where the learner assumes there are no exact synonyms, is so effective that it can reduce the total learning time to the shortest time possible, which is just as soon as every word has been heard at least once. A typical child learns approximately words by the time she is . If the child further assumes that there is only one name for each object (meanings are mutually exclusive), then she can learn words faster. To address this question, Blythe and his colleagues used a physics analogy that others have exploited in the past: word learning resembles some problems in nonequilibrium statistical physics, where a large number of entities (such as molecules) interact, and the probability distributions for certain states evolve over time. –Michael Schirber References E.
