The Kentia Palm (Howea forsteriana) is a graceful and elegant plant, renowned for its long, arching fronds and slender, upright trunk. Originating from Lord Howe Island in Australia, this palm is prized for its adaptability and low maintenance, making it a favorite among both beginner and experienced gardeners. Its resilience and understated elegance make it a superb choice for enhancing both indoor and outdoor spaces.

How to Grow

Best suited for USDA zones 9-11, Kentia Palms thrive in partial to full shade with well-draining soil. Begin with a healthy, disease-free Kentia Palm, preferably in the range of one to three feet tall. Younger palms adapt more quickly and integrate more easily into new environments than older, transplanted ones. Plant in a hole that is twice as wide as the root ball, backfilling with a combination of native soil and compost, and water thoroughly.

Care Tips

Water your Kentia Palm moderately, allowing the soil to dry out slightly between watering. Avoid overwatering to prevent root rot. This palm prefers a humid environment, so in drier indoor conditions, misting the fronds or using a humidity tray can be beneficial. Fertilize the Kentia Palm with a balanced, slow-release fertilizer during its growing season.

Uses

The Kentia Palm serves as an elegant ornamental plant for landscapes or indoor spaces, adding a touch of tropical sophistication. Ideal for creating a relaxed, natural atmosphere, its graceful fronds bring life and movement to any setting. It also works well as an indoor air purifier and is excellent for creating soft, natural partitions in larger rooms.

Planting Tips

Select a location that offers partial to full shade, accommodating the Kentia Palm's preference for indirect light. Ensure there's enough space for the palm to reach its mature height of 20-30 feet. While it is adaptable to various soil types, it thrives best in soil enriched with organic matter.

Kentia Palm Maintenance

Pruning requirements for the Kentia Palm are minimal, primarily to remove dead or dying fronds. Be cautious not to over-prune, as each frond is vital to the palm's health. Regularly monitor for signs of nutrient deficiency, such as yellowing leaves, and adjust your fertilization regimen as needed.

Pests and Diseases

While generally robust, Kentia Palms can sometimes be affected by pests like spider mites, especially when grown indoors. Routine checks and prompt treatment with suitable insecticides or miticides will keep these pests at bay. Diseases are rare but can include root rot due to overwatering or poor drainage. Ensuring proper watering habits and good soil drainage is essential for disease prevention.

Native American history at its best!
Format: Hardcover
Kent Blansett's engrossing story about the life & times of the famed Mohawk activist Richard Oakes is Native American history at its best. I appreciated the well-written context provided about the birth, growth and impact of the Red Power Movement and the pivotal role that social justice activism played in the rise of modern Indian nations in the United States today. This scholarly work helps us understand modern Native America and is a "must-read" for every Native American Studies student and scholar, as well as readers interested in important American social justice movements.

Excellent book on ML
Format: Paperback
This is a great book on machine learning. Topics covered are extensive - from beginner level to advanced topics including math behind different algorithms. However, not "all" algorithms are covered. Please go through the table of contents. The first part - 11 chapters - covers machine learning concepts and second part covers advanced topics with Pytorch. There are lots of excellent code and they work!! The quality of the book I received is excellent. I have gone through all 742 pages, and it has held up very well!! I used Jupyter notebook to run all examples. I created a new notebook and copied and pasted the code and ran them. This approach worked very well for me. At the same time, I could experiment with my take on the code snippets and definitely added to my knowledge. Only issue I have is on the second part of the book discussing PyTorch: (1) Some packages are a bit older version: e.g., transformer 4.9.1 whereas current version is 4.48+. It took some tweaking/recoding to get the examples working. (2) There is not much discussion on why certain architecture was chosen - e.g., number of layers, is there a rule of thumb on how to improve performance by changing these parameters? Even with CUDA the code run for a long time. Therefore, experimenting with different values of parameters become too time consuming. (3) On the same note, if I can achieve test accuracy of 90%+ using logistic regression and almost the same (perhaps one or two percent better with PyTorch with IMDB movie review dataset and that two much faster why should I use PyTorch for this dataset? Obviously, PyTorch is for certain types of problems. Discussions can be included by not adding to the exhaustive (and apt) contents. Personally I was disappointed by lack of any example on time series. Must have for ML practitioner as a reference and guide.

Excellent Textbook for Hands-On Learning of ML
Format: Kindle
This textbook is for the serious life-long learners of machine learning. There are at least two ways to ‘consume’ this book. For the expert in ML, this is a textbook to study as a clear comprehensive ML overview and then to dive into sections of interest or ignorance. The concepts are grounded in code examples and are well cited (with links) to sources. Further, this textbook is appropriate if you are TensorFlow-centric and want to broaden into cutting-edge ML models/tools coded in PyTorch. For a new learner to ML, this is a textbook to DO (not just READ) with hands-on and brain-engaged. If you realize that ML is a key life-long skill for your career, consider this textbook as part of a daily learning habit (10-30 min). From personal experience, my advice to the new learner is as follows… First, clone the GitHub repository, setup your Python environment, and study the textbook, while working through the notebooks. Go on tangents and break the code. Do this methodically as part of your daily learning habit, but do not hesitate to jump ahead several chapters to prepare for tomorrow’s meeting. There is enough excellent material here for a full year of ML adventures. I did a similar strategy with Raschka’s first textbook. About four years ago, I had finished Andrew Ng’s Deep Learning Specialization as a student in his first cohort. I knew the concepts well but could not do the actual application coding. I was surprised how my Python coding improved by following Raschka’s clean and elegant style. And Raschka’s code examples were meaty enough to be springboards into working applications. Several textbook editions later, what is different about this new edition? First, it moves you through scikit-Learn (a firm foundation) to PyTorch, instead of TensorFlow. PyTorch is a better stepping-stone, both conceptually and practically. With PyTorch, you will go further with less energy, while being able to convert your efforts into TensorFlow as needed. In addition, most of the cutting-edge ML/AI/DL research is in PyTorch. It is nice to read a recent arXiv paper, clone their repository, click on the Colab tutorial, and replicate their experiments, along with picking up a ton of new coding tricks & tips. I am excited to work through these PyTorch sections to hone my skills. Second, there is a clear recognition of model tracking and tuning practices. This is often a gap in other ML textbooks and courses. Once you progress beyond the simple demo examples in a lecture, you realize that the real work is experiments, more experiments, and still more experiments, so that you must understand what the model architecture and hyperparameters are doing to your dataset. There is good coverage of scikit-Learn pipeline, grid search, model performance, and the like. Third, ML/AI/DL practice is rapidly evolving. Every week new ML packages/services become available that could save much grief on your current project. What is refreshing about Raschka’s textbook series is that he constantly adding cutting-edge topics because he likes to stay current and to help us stay current. Hence, this edition contains recent ML treats as: transformers, self-supervised learning, autoencoders-to-GAN, graph neural networks, DBSCAN, t-SNE (with brief mention of UMAP), and PyTorch-Lightning.
