 a= f(wp+b) Here is a single input neuron.  p is the input.  Here, w is the weight. The designer can use any value for the weight. Weight is also called 'offset'.  The bias is also a weight with a constant input of 1. The bias can even be omitted or its value can be changed.  w and b are scalar parameters.  The designer chooses the activation function. Some learning algorithm helps to choose the values of w and b.  wp+b  is called the net input.  a is s function of the net input. This function is called the activation function or the transfer function. An example can be the sigmoid activation curve.  Different types of activation functions: They may be linear or non-linear.  How to choose a transfer function? A neuron tries to solve some problem and the specifications of this problem help to choose the transfer function.   The hard limit transfer function The first figure shows the hardlimit transfer function. It helps to break...

 How does urban painting differ from other types of paintings? The urban painting shows the beauty of when artificial things blend into natural backgrounds and foregrounds. An artist can always play around with colors to make some elements more prominent than others in a painting. In urban painting, you may show nature as a prominent component and the buildings as non-prominent or vice versa. I love to show how nature and artificial structures can agree to create an effect that neither could produce alone.  Urban painting is more about geometry and the shapes of houses, bridges, and monuments. Houses are tall and rectangular. The perspective matters. In painting about say, nature painting, you can use vibrant and bright colors. You are trying to portray the beauty of nature which is not symmetrical in general. But, in urban painting, you have to show the tallness or the grandiose nature of the buildings. It becomes a bit challenging because you have to work with block-like ske...

 Medium 1. Write a blog abouit shaeps in urban painting. Gradually try to build a blog list about only urban painting because there are very few such vlogs on youtube.  2. Write a blog about how to make bricks with a black pen in urban painting.  3. Write a blog about how to keep mixing colors and making bushes. How to mimic the effect of light and so on.  4. Write a blog about wet on wet technique vs wet on dry technique.

  I always wanted cute little toys to play with and Krishna who came as Kalindi to me gave me Inky and Jhinky. They are the best cuddly toys that I will keep forever. I want nothing else but Krishna and Krishna alone. Because he can give me things which I can never buy for myself. No matter how rich I am. And, if money cannot give me things that I want then I am poor, so with Krishna by my side, I never lack anything. 

 Goldy and Jessie's adventures Foreward:  We believe that adventures can happen outdoors not indoors. But how correct is that assumption? Did you ever have an adventure? Or, do you dream of an adventure? You will want to join Goldy and Jessie on their's too.  A comfortable room where kids, Goldy and Jessie, are talking to each other. Mom and dad are chatting downstairs and watching the television.  Mom: Why do we have so much pollution? Dad: Greed, darling! Mom and dad discuss how the villages are full of fertilizers and pesticides. THey discuss how their childhood world was so much better than their kids' childhood world. The parents decide to take them to a hill station where it is not yet run-of-the-mill.

 Aurangzeb made many mistakes.  War of succession when Aurangzeb died.  Bahadur Shah I becomes the Mughal emperor.  He reverses many adverse policies of Aurangzeb.  No more destruction of temples.  Policy of religious tolerance. Bahadur Shah I vs. Amber and Jodhpur.  Marwar (Jodhpur) Replace Jai Singh with his brother Vijay Singh. But, failed and reconciled.  Amber Force Ajit Singh to submit to the Mughals. Failed and reconciled.  Garrison Amber and Jodhpur cities. Failed and reconciled. Jai Singh and Ajit Singh wanted to become subadars of Malwa and Gujarat. Bahadur Shah I did not allow it.  Marathas and Bahadur Shah I Marathas wanted Chauth and Sardesmukhi of Deccan. He did not give them Chauth.  Did not recognize Shahu as the rightful Maratha king. So, Tarabai and Shahu fought for the Maratha kingdom. So, law and order could not be maintained in the Deccan.
