How to start learning about world history?
Okay, first things first, you want to get yourself a general world history book or three (most bookstores and libraries have them). Also, find yourself an encyclopedia. This will be helpful later. Wikipedia does work in most cases for this because you'll only be using it as a launching point and to give yourself a slightly more in depth view than the general world history book give you. Read the world history book. Take notes of anything you would like to find out more about, but don't immediately look them up (or you won't get through the book). Then once you have your note, go to your encyclopedia and start finding out about more about them. Then, once you've reached that point, you'll have a pretty general idea of what happened and knowledge of what you'd like to study more. It will also enhance your fic a lot, and you might get interested in on of the many historical RPF fandoms out there as well as Hetalia. Good reading!

Where is a good place to start learning world history?
I would recommend the book series the story of civilisation by Will Durant. Only about 2000 of approximately 11,000 pages are dedicated to the eastern civilisations. Durant freely admits that this is not at all fair and that really it is a story of western civilization that can't be fully told without this reference in part to the east. It's a whole 1970's undergraduate history and classics degree in a set of books you could pick up for about $50 all together. Excellently written and very funny at times, it's accessible and easy to read while giving you a thorough education on an amazing range of topics. He does an excellent job conveying the feeling and the attitudes of the protagonists at the same time as the facts which is something I've only ever otherwise gotten from live lecturing.You can get the whole thing as an audio book series very very well read (very well) by Alexander Adams, I now can't read the books without hearing his voice. I listen to them when I'm riding my bike, driving or going to sleep. It's about 400-600 hours all up and you can buy it online (and although I don't advocate it, it's available to download through torrents). I couldn't recommend it more highly. As a history student I've read a hell of a lot of history material and watched a staggering amount of documentaries and nothing else comes close when it comes to a combination of easy to read and educational. Nothing else to my knowledge is as comprehensive or interesting either. My advice is get the audio books and listen to them while you're doing something else, whether that's driving, playing video games or making an attempt on the summit before you run low on oxygen and have to send the sherpas bank down to base camp 3.
How do I start learning computer vision?
Here is my advice:Learn about basics of image processing.Get to know the difference between image processing and computer vision. Follow 1 or 2 good books; I would recommend 'Digital Image Processing' by R.C . Gonzalez. It will make basics of image processing clear.Apply whatever you learn from above book/s in Matlab. I would not recommend to go to OpenCV first, as using OpenCV libraries involve debugging some coding-related issues too. Stick to Matlab first. Start coding, without using too many Image processing toolbox functions, so that the concepts are clear. Then start using inbuilt functions.Use the onboard webcams to capture real world images to process. Then start implementing the same things on OpenCV.Do a free Mooc course By Prof. PETER COORKE on computer VisionStart learning Machine Learning at the same time. It,too, is heavily used in Intelligent and adaptive Computer-VisionParticipate in Image Processing Robotics based competitions.Take up a project!! Best way to learn it to think about a relevant project/problem from real world and solve it.
I want to learn History. Where should I start?
If you had said to me when I was young, that I would end up a history (and mythology) fanatic, I would have said at the time, you were insane.A little story:(As I am currently trying to get some books published on the subjects, I can't go into any of the details, but the generalities should suffice):Way back in the late 1980's (I was nearly forty at the time and deeply in the throes of depression) I was watching "a film" on TV. Famously mysterious, it was a literary subject. About half way though the film one of the two main characters said to the other, a single line—of only four words—but which four words actually did, like the cliché, change my life. It's not that the words will or indeed can be in any way significant to anyone other than me, but since you are probably wondering at this what the words were, they were, "You gave me nothing!" My point is: they not only meant something, but they meant something powerful—to me! In an instant—my having quite literally leapt to my feet (from a prone position!) and running around in circles, shouting, "I know what this story is about! I know what this story is about," I suddenly and as if the gods had dropped it in my lap, found myself with a quest.Now, almost thirty years later, I am intimate in matters which, even yet, amaze me. I have made myself (and if I may dare to use the "e" word) "expert" in: the French Revolution, Greek Mythology, English (Post-Waterloo) history, much American History, Grecian History, and numerous related aspects of the history of such places as Egypt, Romania and Bulgaria. Who, ever, would have thought it? And all because, like some old rusted lock in search of its long lost key, four otherwise ordinary words came out of the ether.My point here is: a person, a place, a time—even, perhaps, a single word—find something, some however small point that interests you and investigate it! Look it up! Take that first step, which, if truly based on your own initial interest, will lead to a second, and a third, and a fourth—and before you know it you will be engulfed in your own interest.They key, of course, is that the interest must be your own and not one that someone else says you "should be" interested in. (Something I have come to call “Should’s Disease,” it is the death of learning.)There really are only two rules here:1. Go with what you love; and2. Go with what you know. If you know something—really know something— what you know will lead you.Everywhere!
How to start learning a new language?
I am 13, and I would like to learn many languages in my life, because I would love to travel the world some day. My first language goal would be to learn Spanish. The main three I would like to learn are Spanish, French, and Arabic, but I want to learn individually and slowly to make sure I get everything right. I'm going to talk to my parents about it, but what are some pointers on learning new languages? Do things like rosetta stone work? And I always wondered, when people learn languages, how do they learn every word?? My main language will always be english but I don't like only being able to speak one language. I would love to learn some others.
