Robert De Niro Is Back For MIDNIGHT RUN Sequel!

root — Sun, 13 May 2012 14:24:23 +0000

Once upon a time, Robert De Niro was one of the greatest actors of his generation best known for portraying gangster and tough-guy role. Back in 1988, when he branched out to play against type in an action comedy called MIDNIGHT RUN, I wouldn’t expect he could pull it off such role. But to my surprise, De Niro turned out to be an excellent comedian as well. For those who watched MIDNIGHT RUN before, I’m sure (everybody) agreed it was one of the best action comedies ever made.

I will not give what costs me nothing when I bring my Sacrifice Cause You have asked for only one thing, that I gladly give my life. So now I lay down on Your altar, knowing what I lose I’ll find. Please receive me though I falter, for all I have is Yours; it’s no longer mine.

With my mouth I will praise, with my strength I will obey–this is my offering.

I will go where You lead; I will trust what I can’t see–this is my offering; this is my offering.

May my worship be a fragrance, rising up in sweet refrain As I come into Your presence, may I be a life worthy of Your name.

With my mouth I will praise, with my strength I will obey–this is my offering.

I will go where You lead; I will trust what I can’t see–this is my offering; this is my offering.

As soon as I stepped my foot in your country I realized that I would love this place , as the Greeks carry the same madness. ”

TOUCH Gets to Kiefer Sutherland

root — Sat, 12 May 2012 18:17:36 +0000

‘Touch’ gets to Kiefer SutherlandThe script for ‘Touch’ brought ’24′ star Kiefer Sutherland back to TV. The Fox show gets a sneak preview Jan. 25 after ‘American Idol.’January 8, 2012 By T. L. Stanley, Special to the Los Angeles Times Kiefer Sutherland, right, and David Mazouz in “Touch.” (Brian Bowen Smith, Fox / November 30, 2011 Kiefer Sutherland runs through a packed Grand Central Station, dodging bystanders and scanning the crowd for suspicious activity. The minutes fly by seen in frequent close-ups of ticking clocks drawing closer to a potentially explosive moment. Sutherland confronts a guy on a public phone, spins him around and starts punching. Wait, is Jack Bauer back on TV? He’s not, but Sutherland is returning to the Fox network. Only his new drama, “Touch,” owes more to feature films like “Crash” and “Short Cuts” than to his previous award-winning espionage series, “24.” He just happens, in the first episode of “Touch,” to be racing against time to unravel a mystery, an unintentional bone for “24″ fans since it was written before Sutherland signed on. The new drama, which will have a sneak preview Jan. 25 after “American Idol,” centers on Sutherland’s character, Martin Bohm, a former journalist and single dad to a special-needs 11-year-old boy. The son, Jake, who’s remote, combative and uncommunicative, may be autistic, but he exhibits savant-like qualities with gadgets and numbers. He can’t bear to be touched, hence the series’ title. As it turns out, as revealed by an eccentric professor, played by series costar Danny Glover, Jake can detect patterns and relationships between seemingly disparate people and events. He might even be able to see the future. It’s up to Sutherland’s Bohm to “follow the bread crumbs” and figure out the significance of the boy’s mathematical clues, according to “Touch” creator and executive producer Tim Kring. Kring, who also created NBC’s former hit “Heroes,” said he’d been thinking since shortly after the Sept. 11 attacks about writing a series that would blend some mystical and scientific elements. (There are several references to 9/11 in the pilot, including the reason Sutherland’s character is a widower: His stockbroker wife died in the World Trade Center blast.) At the core of “Touch” is a father and son tale, and layered on top are ideas of interconnectivity and serendipity, near misses and close calls, those moments of wondering, “If it hadn’t been for this, what would’ve happened to that?” “I’ve been dealing with this theme for a long time, in ‘Heroes’ and before that, ‘Crossing Jordan,’ of people’s lives being connected in seemingly random ways that turn out not to be random at all,” Kring said. “I wanted to elevate that theme to the forefront because I think people will automatically be able to relate to it.” The 13-episode series, formally premiering March 19 after “House,” will tell stand-alone stories each week but weave an ongoing mythology for fans who want a deeper dive. One of the main story lines is Bohm’s struggle to prove he’s a competent father since Jake’s outbursts and out-of-control behavior caused the state’s child welfare agency to take him out of the home for evaluation. Though it’s grounded in real-world New York City, there will be borderline supernatural issues to ponder, Kring said, such as the possible existence of others just like Jake. And there will be some heart-pounding action for “24″ junkies, but it’ll be mixed with lower-adrenaline emotional stakes. Bohm will be “a very real, very human character,” who’s devoted to his kid and stretched too thin, like many parents. Bohm, along with the actor who plays him, “has his own kind of heroism and strength,” Kring said. To Sutherland, who had been working in live theater, going back to a full-time TV series wasn’t his priority. He didn’t miss the demands of a weekly show, especially one like “24″ where he appeared in nearly every scene, he said, but he was bowled over by the “Touch” script. “I knew I had to do it because it hit me on a spiritual level,” Sutherland said recently. “As it turns out, the workload is almost the same as ’24.’ ‘Touch’ isn’t as physical but the emotional demands are much greater.” Though the show’s based in Los Angeles and the production never leaves town, the show globe trots to carry the theme of diverse and interlocking connections. A misplaced cellphone in one country, for instance, skips around the world, eventually containing data and video evidence of where it’s been and the people who’ve used it. “That idea of connectivity, of breaking down the barriers of language, culture, religion, and showing that we all want the same things it’s imperative right now,” Sutherland said. “It’s something we may’ve lost track of, but the show reminds us.” calendar@latimes.comCopyright 2012, Los Angeles Times

Ivan Pavlov – Classical Condtioning

root — Sat, 12 May 2012 12:47:58 +0000

Classical conditioning (also Pavlovian or respondent conditioning, Pavlovian reinforcement) is a form of conditioning that was first demonstrated by Ivan Pavlov (1927). The typical procedure for inducing classical conditioning involves presentations of a neutral stimulus along with a stimulus of some significance, the “unconditional stimulus.” The neutral stimulus could be any event that does not result in an overt behavioral response from the organism under investigation. Conversely, presentation of the significant stimulus necessarily evokes an innate, often reflexive, response. Pavlov called these the unconditional stimulus (US) and unconditional response (UR), respectively.

If the neutral stimulus is presented along with the unconditional stimulus, it would become a conditional stimulus (CS). Pavlov used the term conditional because he wanted to emphasize that learning required a dependent or conditional relationship between CS and US. If the CS and US always occur together and never alone, this perfect dependent relationship or pairing, causes the two stimuli to become associated and the organism produces a behavioral response to the CS. Pavlov called this the conditional response (CR). Because of early errors in translation of Pavlov’s work from Russian to English, the term “conditioned” rather than “conditional” is very often used but is not technically correct.

A perfect conditional relationship is not necessary for conditioning but the strength of the CR progressively degrades as the conditional relationship. The original and most famous example of classical conditioning involved the salivary conditioning of Pavlov’s dogs. During his research on the physiology of digestion in dogs, Pavlov noticed that, rather than simply salivating in the presence of meat powder (an innate response to food that he called the unconditional response), the dogs began to salivate in the presence of the lab technician who normally fed them.

Pavlov called these psychic secretions. From this observation he predicted that, if a particular stimulus in the dog’s surroundings were present when the dog was presented with meat powder, then this stimulus would become associated with food and cause salivation on its own. In his initial experiment, Pavlov used a bell to call the dogs to their food and, after a few repetitions, the dogs started to salivate in response Types of classical conditioning Forward conditioning: Learning is fastest in forward conditioning. During forward conditioning the onset of the CS precedes the onset of the US. Two common forms of forward conditioning are delay and trace conditioning.

Delay conditioning: In delay conditioning the CS is presented and is overlapped by the presentation of the US. Trace conditioning: During trace conditioning the CS and US do not overlap. Instead, the CS is presented, a period of time is allowed to elapse during which no stimuli are presented, and then the US is presented. The stimulus-free period is called the trace interval. It may also be called the conditioning interval. Simultaneous conditioning: During simultaneous conditioning, the CS and US are presented and terminated at the same time. Backward conditioning: Backward conditioning occurs when a conditional stimulus immediately follows an unconditional stimulus. Unlike traditional conditioning models, in which the conditional stimulus precedes the unconditional stimulus, the conditional response tends to be inhibitory. This is because the conditional stimulus serves as a signal that the unconditional stimulus has ended, rather than a reliable method of predicting the future occurrence of the unconditional stimulus.

Temporal conditioning: The US is presented at regularly timed intervals, and CR acquisition is dependent upon correct timing of the interval between US presentations. The background, or context, can serve as the CS in this example. Unpaired conditioning: The CS and US are not presented together. Usually they are presented as independent trials that are separated by a variable, or pseudo-random, interval. This procedure is used to study non-associative behavioral responses, such as sensitization. CS-alone extinction: The CS is presented in the absence of the US. This procedure is usually done after the CR has been acquired through “forward conditioning” training. Eventually, the CR frequency is reduced to pre-training levels. Essentially, the stimulus is presented until habituation occurs. Source: www.wikipedia.com
