Hailed as a brilliant theoretician, Voldemars Matvejs (best known by his pen name Vladimir Markov) was a Latvian artist who spearheaded the Union of Youth, a dynamic group championing artistic change in Russia, 1910-14. His work had a formative impact on Malevich, Tatlin, and the Constructivists before it was censored during the era of Soviet realism. This volume introduces Markov as an innovative and pioneering art photographer and assembles, for the first time, five of his most important essays. The translations of these hard-to-find texts are fresh, unabridged, and authentically poetic. Critical essays by Jeremy Howard and Irena Buzinska situate his work in the larger phenomenon of Russian 'primitivism', i.e. the search for the primal. This book challenges hardening narratives of primitivism by reexamining the enthusiasm for world art in the early modern period from the perspective of Russia rather than Western Europe. Markov composed what may be the first book on African art and Z.S. Strother analyzes both the text and its photographs for their unique interpretation of West African sculpture as a Kantian 'play of masses and weights'. The book will appeal to students of modernism, orientalism, 'primitivism', historiography, African art, and the history of the photography of sculpture.

Deep learning is often viewed as the exclusive domain of math PhDs and big tech companies. But as this hands-on guide demonstrates, programmers comfortable with Python can achieve impressive results in deep learning with little math background, small amounts of data, and minimal code. How? With fastai, the first library to provide a consistent interface to the most frequently used deep learning applications. Authors Jeremy Howard and Sylvain Gugger, the creators of fastai, show you how to train a model on a wide range of tasks using fastai and PyTorch. You’ll also dive progressively further into deep learning theory to gain a complete understanding of the algorithms behind the scenes. Train models in computer vision, natural language processing, tabular data, and collaborative filtering Learn the latest deep learning techniques that matter most in practice Improve accuracy, speed, and reliability by understanding how deep learning models work Discover how to turn your models into web applications Implement deep learning algorithms from scratch Consider the ethical implications of your work Gain insight from the foreword by PyTorch cofounder, Soumith Chintala

Sequel to the big-budget reboot of the comic book series following the anthropomorphic ninjutsu-trained turtles Leonardo (Pete Ploszek), Michelangelo (Noel Fisher), Donatello (Jeremy Howard) and Raphael (Alan Ritchson). The turtle's arch nemesis Shredder (Brian Tee) has returned and employed Techno Cosmic Research Institute scientist Dr. Stockman (Tyler Perry) to create some mutants of his own in the form of ferocious duo Bebop (Gary Anthony Williams) and Rocksteady (Stephen Farrelly). Meanwhile, the evil Kraang (voice of Fred Armisen) has arrived from Dimension X to lead an invasion of New York City. With the help of journalist April O'Neil (Megan Fox) and vigilante Casey Jones (Stephen Amell), the turtles face a fight on two fronts to save the city from certain destruction.

Michael Bay produces and Jonathan Liebesman directs this big-budget reboot of the comic book series following the anthropomorphic ninjutsu-trained turtles Leonardo (Pete Ploszek/voice of Johnny Knoxville), Michaelangelo (Noel Fisher), Donatello (Jeremy Howard) and Raphael (Alan Ritchson). In New York, the evil Shredder (Tohoru Masamune) and his Foot Clan are quickly taking over control of the city by force under the direction of Eric Sacks (William Fichtner), a money-hungry businessman. Meanwhile, April O'Neil (Megan Fox), a journalist covering the rise in criminal activity with the help of cameraman Vern Fenwick (Will Arnett), is shocked to find that the city's only hope is four mutated sewer-dwelling turtles and their ninja master Splinter (Danny Woodburn/voice of Tony Shalhoub). Can the Turtles put an end to Shredder's evil plans and protect the city from total domination?

Family comedy adventure which sees two orphans deciding to rescue a city's stray dogs. Arriving at a foster home with a 'strictly no pets' policy, 16-year-old Andi (Emma Roberts) and her younger brother Bruce (Jake T. Austin) realise they'll have to find a home for their dog Friday. On a trip downtown, the kids discover an old disused hotel that would be ideal for their needs. When they discover some of the local strays have already made it their home, they decide to take it one step further, turning the hotel into a refuge, and pleasure palace, for every stray mutt they can possibly find. But all the activity soon brings them to the notice of the police and the local dog-catchers, who valiantly, if stupidly, try to close down the operation.
