Thank you to Elin Gulba and Musikstudien School and we will now bestow this year's honorary doctors The first honorary doctor is Professor James Fieland who will now be presented in a short video on the screen behind me Not a part of the 20th century Scholarship on scholarship on narrative took really two main forms one is this Close attention to the internal structure of narrative then on the other hand there's an approach to narrative that's more Historicist contextualist And these two kinds of narrative study Don't actually mesh which with each other very well This is exactly what Jim comes in he comes in at exactly the Meeting point and he allows these two approaches to Mesh by way of his rhetorical approach to narrative When I got to graduate school, actually I was somewhat disconcerted by what seemed to me a gap between What the formal study of literature was all about and what I was doing when I sat down with literary works and I met a teacher in my first year Sheldon Sachs who Provided a way to sort of close that gap and he did that by focusing on the question of Do we read the same books and what does it mean to answer that question by saying that We read the same books because we can recognize commonalities of experience In the reading not just you know commonalities of Thematic meetings that we can derive from them. So that's really been been the drive behind it It's it's a drive that's led to lots of new terms I have talked about six types of unreliability I've talked about three kinds of readerly interest The goal Sort of behind all that is I'm not trying to invent terms for the sake of inventing terms But trying to give us greater access to that life we live as readers I think one of the things that's next is is for me to Both do some more work with fiction and to Expand or to broaden the sense And so thinking about about the relationship between nonfiction fiction and fictionality I think has enormous potential For complicating our understandings of both fiction and nonfiction And Henrik and Stephen and others in that group here in our hoos. This is a group that Seems to be on the cutting edge of the thinking about fictionality And I really think that I'm now part of an ongoing conversation with The fictionality group at our hoos and that's going to be very productive for me We'd like to invite professor felon to come forward Professor James felon you are a leading world figure in the field of narrative theory Your research and teaching has won several awards and prizes and since 2008 you have been distinguished professor at Ohio State University You're the editor of the prestigious journal called the narrative Academics here at or whose university and elsewhere describe you as extremely generous and welcoming And you have a unique ability to engage with new ideas Including ideas that you disagree with your Home and office are always available for academic discussions Exchanges and friendly get-togethers and your academic endeavors have included traveling to countries across across the globe To share your knowledge and insights about rhetoric and narrative And during your travels you have frequently visited all hoos university To conduct summer schools to give lectures and to work with our research groups on shared papers on projects and applications We are very happy that all hoos has a place in your heart and we treasure what you have done for this university It's my great privilege and pleasure to confer on you the degree of doctor filo sovis Honore's causa at a hoos university Congratulations professor felon I will now leave the floor to nils christian nilston dean of science and technology at duke university in durham, north carolina pankaj Agarwal explores geometric algorithms in the words of plateau geometry existed before creation And it leads a soul toward truth It made me realize that as computers start interacting with the our physical world Geometry is integral part. So whenever you use a computer to solve or reason about problem dealing with the physical world Geometry shows up whether it's at the molecular scale or it's a global scale What I have done is develop general computational and mathematical techniques to model and analyze geometric data And then apply them to areas such as Environmental science molecular biology and robotics We hear all the time. This is the age of big data As the massive amounts of data are being collected through various sensing devices The question is what we can do with that data how we can convert that data into useful knowledge The foundation of agarwal's research is to find meaningful information in big data sets through the prism of geometry Starting with the researchers at our university we were able to develop algorithms for modeling and analyzing Large amounts of geospatial data and that has led to a long and successful collaboration One of the areas where I've been using my research is to model terrain on our different parts of earth And analyze hydrology for example when heavy rain falls Then which areas will get flooded or because of climate change when the sea level rises The research is important because mostly for the hydrology you want to Build better flood risk maps. You want to know where to build your house You want to know how much should I pay for insurance in these areas and How where should I build dams? Where should I be worried about flood from various sources? Arus has the leading research center called mad algor, which is unique in its scope and its expertise For the last seven years I have been working with mad algor researchers on combining geometry with big data sets Among other things it has led to the formation of the startup company scalgo Yes, so we founded a company in 2009 to really commercialize this research that we've been doing and we really want to take All these massive data sets that are out there and make them actionable for for businesses and actually research institutions and really make it Provide good commercial support. This collaboration seeks to offer tools for geospatial data analysis over diverse computing platforms From cloud to handheld devices I have benefited tremendously from this successful collaboration and I hope that will continue Join me on the floor Professor pancai acaval is one of the world leading if not the world leading researcher within computational geometry He is highly recognized not only for his substantial theoretical contributions to computational geometry But also for establishing and strengthening links between the research area and a number of application areas pancai acaval has a very close relationship with orhus university Including a research collaboration with many co-authored Publications with a u researchers at the center from a sieve data algorithms Madalgo where he also serves as a very active member of the scientific advisory board The collaboration also encompasses several joint u.s research grants Dear professor acaval on this background It is my great privilege and it leads a pleasure to me to confer you on the doctor centurion honoris causa at university Orhus university Now I'll leave the floor to alan flubia dean of health I'm sander greenland. I am a meritus professor of epidemiology at the ucla school of public health And meritus professor statistics at the ucla college of letters and science I wanted to do something that was relevant to health And I searched around for a while and I found through the thanks of a fellow student Epidemiology which looked just perfect for me because it took a lot of Statistical expertise to understand what was going on, but it was very relevant for public health and individual health as well I've always been of course interested in one of the latest statistics on this or that whether it's a health trend or Economy or whatever I could see that there are topics that people are debating And if it looks like there's nobody in the debate that's getting certain points Then I really do feel compulsion that would jump in and make those points Well, I think the best of my contribution has been in translating ideas and methodologies and Some theory from other fields into epidemiology and trying to make them practical for epidemiologic use with appropriate cautions I was heavily influenced when I was a student by the work of old in vietnam and it was at harvard then But because I got away from that in the 1980s when I was entering a faculty I was able to be participate in the introduction of explicit causal modeling methods into epidemiology and the use of those to figure out epidemiologic problems My ongoing objectives is to present case studies Of some of the points that I and others made in literature that aren't spreading too fast and do case studies, so The university has Researching data resources, especially that will help in illustrating these ideas Jorn Olson who I've known for over 30 years and currently in epidemiology has played an important role in helping organize collaborations and Also even organize conferences Well, the biggest thing I've learned is that it's you really Don't learn solidly the details of some things sometimes until you try and teach it to people who don't understand it yet so for me teaching has Who's been one of the core learning experience keeping me? Fresh in terms of my knowledge Forward and as usual I have to adjust this to ever its male height As it appears from the presentation of professor greenland He is indeed within the international elite In the field of theoretical and applied epidemiology for decades He's been a leading Forms in developing and refining the research methods used in public health as we just heard Without any doubt professor greenland is the most productive scientist in a theoretical epidemiology Professor greenland combined skills within mathematics Statistics philosophy and epidemiology and uses these tools to improve and refine the scientific quality Of the research field worldwide Accordingly we know today much more about the impact but also very importantly the limitations of Epidemiology Today that we did 30 years ago and this is mainly due I have to say today due to all your achievements. Thank you for that there are many past present And future potential connections between standard greenland and our university and there's no doubt That you will act as an icon for many present and forthcoming researchers at this university Accordingly it is my privilege and pleasure To confer on you the degree dr. Medicina who know wise causa at our university. Thank you so very much professor greenland It is now my pleasure to invite my colleague, Sven Hüllebär, dean of school of middle of Business and surface sciences to step forward, please my interest in economic data in my interest on it started as an undergraduate when I happened to read a couple of books and models And it was obviously very intriguing how one could learn about the economy from data rather than from theory So my doctorate followed that up and I've always been interested in can we learn much about our economy's function by looking at the evidence Which is immensely complicated Economies change all the time. There's big breaks. There's lots of evolution today is nothing like a hundred years ago And yet somehow we've got to extract evidence about how people are behaving from that information I think the problem with a vast amount of empirical macro is it's been so excessively simplistic to try and keep in touch with simplistic theory That it hasn't told us anything about the real world The main contribution that I've made to Econometric modeling is to allow us to handle very complicated very large models Because everything's interrelated in the economy One can't actually sort things out without sorting everything that's important out simultaneously, which is extremely difficult So getting a method that would analyze that sort of data has taken about 35 years, but we are there now I'm very glad to say I first Went to arhus in 1984 to examine Sven Hullerberg's Doctorate on seasonality. In fact jointly with Timo Teresverta who's now a professor at arhus And we had an amusing time discussing Whether or not seasonal adjustment, for example of Beethoven's fifth symphony wouldn't ruin it rather than improve it Since then I've had lots of contact with Sven over the years and with Timo And went to the 50th anniversary Celebration of the faculty of business and uh law economics and law at arhus in 1986 Where we went to sandberg, which is The house of Karen Blixen's sister and had a tremendous conference because it was the start Of multivariate co-integration analysis the first time we could deal with many variables all of which were evolving simultaneously and perhaps Very highly connected And of course most recently gave a creates distinguished lecture on my work in model selection And then attended Sven Hullerberg's festrift as we celebrated his many achievements over the years This relationship with arhus has obviously been reciprocal. There have been many exchanges in both directions They have faculty from there who visited lse where I used to be and oxford And of course we're working very similar problems if one wants to analyze Economic data about the large economy at large then one needs very similar methods And the faculty there people like neils hall drop as well as team with terrace verta have made important contributions to our ability to do so I would like to ask professor handel to step forward please as presented in this video That brings back many fond memories Davies is a truly respected colleague and a dear friend To many of us from the department of economics and business His thought has have had very substantial influence on the whole profession and also on us at arhus university Professor Henry is a world recognized scholar very influential But also a controversial econometrician and you could almost hear that much of his research Has focused on the development of a comprehensive methodological approach to the empirical modeling of time series in many fields including economics His revolutionary work has been promoted and used through publicly available software packages And so through significant empirical implications of the metallurgy It is my great privilege and pressure to confirm you The title doctor economy uh, no noise causa at arhus university. Congratulations, sir. David Henry

I want to show you a little bit about everything at the surf station. That's about it. I couldn't go on and on. We've got a whole bunch of more stuff here.


I really feel like I'm in for some amazing quality stuff here. Hey guys! Now I've been really looking forward to this video because I am finally going to be trying what is known as probably the world's most famous puzzle brand. I am finally going to open and try out my very first Robinsburger puzzle.  And let me know down below what's your favorite thing about them. Or your least favorite, whichever. Now I've actually collected a number of sets over the last few months and most of them are actually from the Disney villainous collection. And to be honest recently I have been like really itching for a Disney puzzle but I figured it's been kind of a rough week and I think I kind of need to take a little trip somewhere. So our puzzle today is called Paris Impressions. It is 1,000 pieces and it is 27 by 20 inches when it's completed. Now this particular set does come in one of their larger boxes. I've seen other Robinsburger sets that come in the smaller ones and I have some of those. But this is a really nice solid looking box and on the back of it it does give you some information about Robinsburger. And this brand is actually from Robinsburg, Germany and they've been making puzzles since 1891. So yeah I think these guys know what they're doing in terms of making puzzles. The box also says that these puzzles are a premium puzzle with soft click technology which guarantees a 100% interlocking mechanism for the world's most optimal fit. And this is supposed to result in a very smooth puzzle once you've completed it. Which is something I'm really looking forward to experiencing once I've completed this one. I kind of just can't wait to kind of rub my hand across the puzzle like I always do and see how smooth it really is. Now judging from the looks of this box and the fact that many of you highly recommend this brand, I really feel like I'm in for some amazing quality stuff here. This puzzle experience is going to be very interesting. Now aside from the fact that I'm in for some very good stuff here, I mean take a look at this image. I'm sure that if you've been watching my videos for a while now, you know what's going to happen, right? You know what's up, right? I'm on vacation. I've finally taken my trip to Paris, France. This image here is the view from my window from my Airbnb. I'm feeling a bit hungry, so I thought I'd take a peek outside my window and see how busy the outdoor cafe was. It's looking like a pretty quiet night. I'll probably just step down there for a bit and have something to eat. And then afterwards I could just stop by the pâtisserie for a little dessert.  It's such a quiet night. Who wouldn't? I seriously need to go visit Paris. Especially so that I can try out all the wonderful food. I hear they got good coffee, too. But anyways, in terms of completion process with this set, I've actually been looking at this for a while, and I honestly don't feel like this is going to be extremely hard. We've got some pretty straightforward details here that I feel like I can sort pretty easily. For example, I can probably do a tray for the buildings, the cafe-seeing area, the road, the sky. I feel like this is going to be pretty straightforward. But then again, who knows? I might end up pulling my hair throughout this process. I don't know. But I feel like this is going to be a really fun one to do. This image is really calling me to jump inside. So I am feeling really excited on getting this one done. And who knows? Hopefully this is something that I could probably store quite easily so that if I ever decide to glue it or frame it or something, I could just quickly put it together and just hang it up because this is such a beautiful image. I really love the look of this little part of town. I feel like after I've taken my walk down to admire the sunset, I'll come and sit at this little table and maybe just have me a late night cup of coffee. I don't know. I love doing things out of the norm for me when I'm on vacation. But yeah, I honestly don't feel like this is going to be extremely hard to complete, even with being a thousand pieces. I can't really predict how long this may take me. I could give you a low number because it looks easy in general, but it might end up being five times the amount. I don't know. But what I will say is that I am super excited to complete this one. So let's open this up and let's get started. All right, let's finally get this one open. Now this one has clear wrap on it. So let's get that off first. All right, let's open this one up. No poster. That's all right. Hopefully the puzzly experience makes up for the lack of poster. But so far from what I am seeing, oh boy. And I think I've heard most of you say this as well, but this has quite a bit of puzzle dust in it. I like how they have printed on the bag multiple times at its premium puzzle. But maybe they do that so you can kind of get distracted from all the dust that's in here. That's quite a lot. Even the box inside has quite a bit of loose puzzle dust. How did that get in there? Oh, I see. There's a little hole in here. Now I'm a little nervous about putting all this blue puzzle dust on my puzzle table. So I think I'm just going to empty this bag into the box. I think that will be a better idea. All right, let's open this one up. There's still quite a bit of dust left in the bag. But you know what? I'm still glad that I emptied it out in here because I'm pretty sure it's all down in here into the bottom. Oh, yeah, there it is. It's all settled. Anyways, let's take a look at these pieces here. Oh, this feels very different. This feels nice. We got a nice thickness to these pieces, too. Oh, this is a nice solid piece here. This is nice and strong. I really like that blue back to it. That's pretty. These puzzle pieces are also a really nice size, too. You can really see a lot of detail within the piece. The color is very vibrant and the print is excellent. This is really good stuff. In terms of glare, it's kind of hard to say. I am getting quite a bit of a reflection of light from my window here, but I don't think I'm really gonna know much about glare until I start completing this puzzle and seeing how good or bad it is during certain times of the day in regards to the lighting outside and the garbage lighting I have in my room. But again, as I said before, I am still working on that. Now, the box itself doesn't really stay anything about anything special regarding the shape of the pieces. So I'm thinking this is kind of like your traditional shapes. So it doesn't look like they carry anything with random cut pieces or unique shapes or anything like that. So that's probably gonna also help me in terms of completion process as well, because it's gonna be a little bit more simple than, let's say, for example, a dowel puzzle with their random cut shape pieces. So this is gonna be fun. But anyways, guys, I'm super excited about getting this one started and finally feeling that smooth finish. So let's get started. Okay, does this ever happen to you? I go in with a plan on how I'm gonna go about sorting it. And then once you get in there, you look at everything and then you kind of just go blank and have no idea what you're looking at. Then it feels like it's a complete shambles. But anyways, after it was all said and done, here is how I ended up sorting my trays. First tray were the edge pieces, of course. The second tray had pieces for the sky. Third tray had trees and flowers. Fourth tray kind of had like particular details like the chairs, the wine, stall, the lamp post and such. The fifth tray had pieces for the buildings that were mainly located from the left side of the puzzle image to the middle. Sixth tray had the buildings from the right side of the image. Seventh tray had pieces that looked to be from the stone or the ground. And the eighth tray basically had just the random pieces that I had no clue where they belonged. So after that was done, I was really hoping that it was gonna work. Because as I scanned through more and more of the pieces, I realized how challenging this puzzle was probably gonna be. All right, now I'm a little confused. But as I was completing this puzzle, even at the beginning, I felt like the fit was loose. And the reason why I say this is because I would put pieces in place and they would just pop up sometimes either when I was moving a section or like I said, even just trying to put a piece in place, they were popping out. And even small sections of the image that I completed were actually lifting off the table. I had to press it down a few times to get it flat. Dare I say, it even reminded me of a Seco puzzle with the difference being that the pieces for the Robinsburger is a much better quality. But still, this kind of took away from the experience. I honestly expected better, but maybe it was just my particular set or how it was cut in production. But in regards to the soft click technology that this has, with my experience, I didn't really hear a soft click or feel a soft click. I don't know if I meant to feel anything at all. The pieces did fit really well together, but it just didn't feel like a good fitted fit, if that makes sense. I know sometimes I say that and I'm hoping you can understand what I'm getting at. But honestly, I was a little let down by this. And maybe it's because my previous experience was with the Pintu puzzle and maybe that just spoiled me in terms of loud snaps and awesome fit. I don't know, but you guys are really gonna have to fill me in on this one because I'm not sure if this tends to be a common thing with this brand or if it happens on and off. Please let me know down below, what has been your overall experience with Ravensburger? Am I crazy? Did I just get a bad set? Is this typical? Now because of this, I'm really not sure if I'm gonna be able to store this puzzle the way I usually store them. I kind of almost feel like it's just gonna fall to pieces and crumble if I even try to do that. But I don't know, I'll keep you posted when I do the lifting or standing test on this puzzle. I'm not sure how this is gonna hold together, honestly. Now, first thing I'll say is that while I was sorting, I did not find a single damaged piece and that's only ever happened to me with the Pintu puzzles, which are plastic. And these pieces really do have a smooth finish on them. And as I would brush my hand across completed sections, it would feel really satisfying. And because of that nice thickness to them, they're very sturdy and the print is excellent. It was clear, the colors were very vibrant and in terms of glare, it really wasn't too bad which was surprising to me. Now the artwork on this image is absolutely beautiful and I was super motivated to finish it. And it also did make for a great challenge. It really had a great mix of areas that were pretty clear and easy to put together and also areas that were pretty difficult. For example, the grounds which was like the paid stone, that took me a while because it had a lot of different colors that kind of blended into each other. Well, at least to me it was challenging. But overall, most of the buildings were pretty easy and surprisingly I found the sky and the trees to be very easy as well, which is not at all typical for me. This puzzle took me about seven and a half hours to complete. Overall, aside from the fit issues, this puzzle was fun. I just wish that I had an easier time piecing it together. And really to me it's a pretty major factor when it comes to the overall puzzle experience. I'm hoping that the next set that I try from Ravensburger will be different and hopefully for the better. Well, now I can finally take my stroll through the streets of Paris and start thinking about which Ravensburger set I'm going to try next. Now, just so you know, I'm not gonna let this experience solidify my overall feelings about this brand. I really do have to try at least a few more sets in order to finalize my overall opinions of Ravensburger. And I also want to hear more about your own experiences with this brand. So if you're new here and you want to see what happens on my next attempts on a Ravensburger puzzle, consider subscribing so that you can follow along with me on my jigsaw journey to trying out as many puzzles as I possibly can. And maybe you'll even pick up some puzzle tips and tricks for your own journey. Well guys, I hope all this well. Thank you for watching and I will see you in the next one.


This is how I teach measurement by size. In working in a small group of two or three children of ages maybe three and four, I have a box that has different length pipe cleaners. If I'm outside in nature I'm okay with using sticks or leaves or anything else that might be of different size and length. So first I have a student draw one of the pipe cleaners and put it on the table and then I have my second student draw one out of the box and put it on the table and then I will ask them which one is long and then I can show them if that's a new vocabulary word and I can say this one is long and then I will say which one is short and they will come to it and they will point at it and go this one is short and I will be very happy for them and then we will start over and try again and then we'll draw a new one out of the box and we'll put it on the table and then the other student will draw one from the box and put it on the table and I'll ask the same question again which one is long and this time I'll let the kids answer without my help and so they'll tell me the brown one is long and they can tell me this one or the white one is short. What's nice about this activity is you can also have a third student if you're working on comparing by size and then we can work on long, longer and longest. So this one can be long, this one can be longer and this one is the longest and then we can start all over again practicing those words.
