ABSTRACT: Traditional machine vision systems have an inherent data bottleneck that arises because data collected in parallel must be serialized for transfer from the sensor to the processor. Furthermore, much of this data is not useful for information extraction. This project takes inspiration from the visual system of the house fly, Musca domestica, to reduce this bottleneck by employing early (up front) analog preprocessing to limit the data transfer. This is a first step toward an all analog, parallel vision system. While the current implementation has serial stages, nothing would prevent it from being fully parallel. A one-dimensional photo sensor array with analog pre-processing is used as the sole sensory input to a mobile robot. The robot's task is to chase a target car while avoiding obstacles in a constrained environment. Key advantages of this approach include passivity and the potential for very high effective "frame rates."Biomedical sciences instrumentation 02/2008; 44:373-9. - Journal of Electronic Imaging 01/2006; 15:043005. · 0.85 Impact Factor

ABSTRACT: Musca domestica, the common house fly, has a simple yet powerful and accessible vision system. Cajal indicated in 1885 the fly's vision system is the same as in the human retina. The house fly has some intriguing vision system features such as fast, analog, parallel operation. Furthermore, it has the ability to detect movement and objects at far better resolution than predicted by photoreceptor spacing, termed hyperacuity. We are investigating the mechanisms behind these features and incorporating them into next generation vision systems. We have developed a prototype sensor that employs a fly inspired arrangement of photodetectors sharing a common lens. The Gaussian shaped acceptance profile of each sensor coupled with overlapped sensor field of views provide the necessary configuration for obtaining hyperacuity data. The sensor is able to detect object movement with far greater resolution than that predicted by photoreceptor spacing. We have exhaustively tested and characterized the sensor to determine its practical resolution limit. Our tests coupled with theory from Bucklew and Saleh (1985) indicate that the limit to the hyperacuity response may only be related to target contrast. We have also implemented an array of these prototype sensors which will allow for two - dimensional position location. These high resolution, low contrast capable sensors are being developed for use as a vision system for an autonomous robot and the next generation of smart wheel chairs. However, they are easily adapted for biological endoscopy, downhole monitoring in oil wells, and other applications.© (2005) COPYRIGHT SPIE--The International Society for Optical Engineering.

ABSTRACT: Real-time application of digital imaging for use in machine vision systems has proven to be prohibitive when used within control systems that employ low-power single processors without compromising the scope of vision or resolution of captured images. Development of a real-time machine analog vision system is the focus of research taking place at the University of Wyoming. This new vision system is based upon the biological vision system of the common house fly. Development of a single sensor is accomplished, representing a single facet of the fly's eye. This new sensor is then incorporated into an array of sensors capable of detecting objects and tracking motion in 2-D space. This system "preprocesses" incoming image data resulting in minimal data processing to determine the location of a target object. Due to the nature of the sensors in the array, hyperacuity is achieved thereby eliminating resolutions issues found in digital vision systems. In this paper, we will discuss the biological traits of the fly eye and the specific traits that led to the development of this machine vision system. We will also discuss the process of developing an analog based sensor that mimics the characteristics of interest in the biological vision system. This paper will conclude with a discussion of how an array of these sensors can be applied toward solving real-world machine vision issues.Biomedical sciences instrumentation 02/2005; 41:175-80. - [Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Those studying biological systems are often interested in the morphology of the various microscopic organelles. The three dimensional reconstruction and visualization of objects provide a powerful tool to understand the nature of each object, and its relationship to other objects. Segmentation is the key to 3D analysis and study of objects that have been recorded with a series of sectioned images, such as from a confocal laser scanning microscope (CLSM). Segmentation is the process of completely separating or isolating the individual objects in an image. A seed-based semi-automatic segmentation tool has been developed to aid in the process of 3D visualization of objects recorded with serial sectioned images, including a boundary creation method that maintains the separate identity of contacting objects. This segmentation tool also allows the user to retain background information as a separate object, providing important reference and landmark information for the object of interest. This paper summarizes the main parts of the segmentation algorithm and presents 3D reconstructions of visual neurons of the housefly, Musca domestica. These reconstructions are compared to typical 3D images produced from other widely used software packages, including standard CLSM imaging software and the popular ImageJ supported by National Institute of Health (NIH). Efforts are underway to develop a user-friendly graphical user interface (GUI) for the segmentation algorithm to entice broader used in research settings.Biomedical sciences instrumentation 02/2005; 41:235-40. - [Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: The vision system of the common house fly has many properties, such as hyperacuity and parallel structure, which would be advantageous in a machine vision system. A software model has been developed which is ultimately intended to be a tool to guide the design of an analog real time vision system. The model starts by laying out cartridges over an image. The cartridges are analogous to the ommatidium of the fly's eye and contain seven photoreceptors each with a Gaussian profile. The spacing between photoreceptors is variable providing for more or less detail as needed. The cartridges provide information on what type of features they see and neighboring cartridges share information to construct a feature map.Biomedical sciences instrumentation 02/2005; 41:335-9. - [Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Our understanding of the world around us is based primarily on three-dimensional information because of the environment in which we live and interact. Medical or biological image information is often collected in the form of two-dimensional, serial section images. As such, it is difficult for the observer to mentally reconstruct the three dimensional features of each object. Although many image rendering software packages allow for 3D views of the serial sections, they lack the ability to segment, or isolate different objects in the data set. Segmentation is the key to creating 3D renderings of distinct objects from serial slice images, like separate pieces to a puzzle. This paper describes a segmentation method for objects recorded with serial section images. The user defines threshold levels and object labels on a single image of the data set that are subsequently used to automatically segment each object in the remaining images of the same data set, while maintaining boundaries between contacting objects. The performance of the algorithm is verified using mathematically defined shapes. It is then applied to the visual neurons of the housefly, Musca domestica. Knowledge of the fly"s visual system may lead to improved machine visions systems. This effort has provided the impetus to develop this segmentation algorithm. The described segmentation method can be applied to any high contrast serial slice data set that is well aligned and registered. The medical field alone has many applications for rapid generation of 3D segmented models from MRI and other medical imaging modalities.Proceedings of SPIE - The International Society for Optical Engineering 01/2005; · 0.20 Impact Factor - [Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Two challenges to an effective, real-world computer vision system are speed and reliable object recognition. Traditional computer vision sensors such as CCD arrays take considerable time to transfer all the pixel values for each image frame to a processing unit. One way to bypass this bottleneck is to design a sensor front-end which uses a biologically-inspired analog, parallel design that offers preprocessing and adaptive circuitry that can produce edge maps in real-time. This biomimetic sensor is based on the eye of the common house fly (Musca domestica). Additionally, this sensor has demonstrated an impressive ability to detect objects at subpixel resolution. However, the format of the image information provided by such a sensor is not a traditional bitmap transfer of the image format and, therefore, requires novel computational manipulations to make best use of this sensor output. The real-world object recognition challenge is being addressed by using a subspace method which uses eigenspace object models created from multiple reference object appearances. In past work, the authors have successfully demonstrated image object recognition techniques for surveillance images of various military targets using such eigenspace appearance representations. This work, which was later extended to partially occluded objects, can be generalized to a wide variety of object recognition applications. The technique is based upon a large body of eigenspace research described elsewhere. Briefly described, the technique creates target models by collecting a set of target images and finding a set of eigenvectors that span the target image space. Once the eigenvectors are found, an eigenspace model (also called a subspace model) of the target is generated by projecting target images on to the eigenspace. New images to be recognized are then projected on to the eigenspace for object recognition. For occluded objects, we project the image on to reduced dimensional subspaces of the original eigenspace (i.e., a "subspace of a subspace" or a "sub-eigenspace"). We then measure how close a match we can achieve when the occluded target image is projected on to a given sub-eigenspace. We have found that this technique can result in significantly improved recognition of occluded objects. In order to manage the combinatorial "explosion" associated with selecting the number of subspaces required and then projecting images on to those sub-eigenspaces for measurement, we use a variation on the A* (called "A-star") search method. The challenge of tying these two subsystems (the biomimetic sensor and the subspace object recognition module) together into a coherent and robust system is formidable. It requires specialized computational image and signal processing techniques that will be described in this paper, along with preliminary results. The authors believe that this approach will result in a fast, robust computer vision system suitable for the non-ideal real-world environment.Proceedings of SPIE - The International Society for Optical Engineering 01/2004; · 0.20 Impact Factor - [Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Our understanding of the world around us and the many objects that we encounter is based primarily on three-dimensional information. It is simply part of the environment in which we live and the intuitive nature of our interpretation of our surroundings. In the arena of biomedical imaging, the image information most often collected is in the form of two-dimensional images. In cases where serial slice information is obtained, such as MRI images, it is still difficult for the observer to mentally build and understand the three-dimensional structure of the object. Although most image rendering software packages allow for 3D views of the serial sections, they lack the ability to segment, or isolated different objects in the data set. Typically the task of segmentation is performed by knowledgeable persons who tediously outline or label the object of interest in each image slice containing the object [1,2]. It remains a difficult challenge to train a computer to understand an image and aid in this process of segmentation. This article reports of on-going work in developing a semi-automated segmentation technique. The approach uses a Leica Confocal Laser Scanning Microscope (CLSM) to collect serial slice images, image rendering and manipulating software called IMOD (Boulder Colorado), and Matlab (The Mathworks Inc.) image processing tools for development of the object segmentation routines. The initial objects are simple fluorescent microspheres (Molecular Probes), which are easily imaged and segmented. The second objects are rat enteric neurons, which provide medium complexity in shape and size. Finally, the work will be applied to the biological cells of the household .y, Musca domestica, to further understand how its vision system operates.Biomedical sciences instrumentation 02/2003; 39:117-22. - [Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Machine vision for navigational purposes is a rapidly growing field. Many abilities such as object recognition and target tracking rely on vision. Autonomous vehicles must be able to navigate in dynamic enviroments and simultaneously locate a target position. Traditional machine vision often fails to react in real time because of large computational requirements whereas the fly achieves complex orientation and navigation with a relatively small and simple brain. Understanding how the fly extracts visual information and how neurons encode and process information could lead us to a new approach for machine vision applications. Photoreceptors in the Musca domestica eye that share the same spatial information converge into a structure called the cartridge. The cartridge consists of the photoreceptor axon terminals and monopolar cells L1, L2, and L4. It is thought that L1 and L2 cells encode edge related information relative to a single cartridge. These cells are thought to be equivalent to vertebrate bipolar cells, producing contrast enhancement and reduction of information sent to L4. Monopolar cell L4 is thought to perform image segmentation on the information input from L1 and L2 and also enhance edge detection. A mesh of interconnected L4's would correlate the output from L1 and L2 cells of adjacent cartridges and provide a parallel network for segmenting an object's edges. The focus of this research is to excite photoreceptors of the common housefly, Musca domestica, with different visual patterns. The electrical response of monopolar cells L1, L2, and L4 will be recorded using intracellular recording techniques. Signal analysis will determine the neurocircuitry to detect and segment images.Biomedical sciences instrumentation 02/2002; 38:123-8. - [Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: The ability to visualize and understand three-dimensional objects from two-dimensional cross-section or slice images is difficult, even if the observer has a general concept of the object of interest. The focus of this research is to apply image-processing methods to two-dimensional cross-section electron transmission micrographs of the biological cells of the Musca Domestica's, or household fly's visual system in an effort to better understand the cells responsible for processing visual information. The application of knowledge gained from biological systems is know as biomimetics. The first task will be to construct a useful three-dimensional data set from two-dimensional micrographs provided by the U.S. Air Force Academy in Colorado Springs, Colorado. The data set will be constructed by aligning these images in an edge-to-edge fashion to form a layer. Once each layer is reconstructed, the layers will be stacked and registered to form the third dimension of the data set. This task is complicated by the fact that translation, rotation and scaling mismatches exist in the images. The second task will be to segment and label the biological cells of interest. Computerized segmentation has not yet proved successful, resulting in a manual or "brain-powered" approaches being used at many institutions. By using and modifying current computer image-processing techniques, advances leading to a semi-automated segmentation process may result. Finally, the segmented data must be formatted for use with existing software to render and view the cell(s) of interest. A "marching cubes" surface-rendering algorithm is often implemented in current visualization software, along with routines to view, rotate and scale the resulting surfaces in real time. The result of viewing and manipulating the biological data set will be an increased understanding of the processes of the fly's visual system. Other researchers will use the knowledge gained from the three-dimensional renderings of the cells to further develop an analog vision system based on the fly's compound eye. Much of this research is funded by the Navy Air Warfare Center in an effort to design an analog visual system with real-time target identification and tracking capabilities.Biomedical sciences instrumentation 02/2002; 38:363-8. - [Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: A tracking algorithm has been developed to efficiently track a moving object in 2D image space. The algorithm employs a limited exhaustive template matching scheme that combines the accuracy of an exhaustive search with the computational efficiency of a coarse-fine template matching scheme. The overall result is an accurate, time-efficient tracking algorithm. After providing a theoretical discussion of the algorithm, three separate biomedical applications of the algorithm are described: (1) stabilizing an irradiating laser on the retinal surface for photocoagulation treatment, (2) measuring target fixation eye movement to construct pattern densities at the retina, and (3) tracking a rate swimming in a Morris Water Maze for psychophysiological studies. Results for each application is provided. The paper concludes with a discussion of the relative merits of the tracking algorithm and recommendations for methods to improve the performance of the algorithm.Journal of Electronic Imaging 01/2001; 10:785-793. · 0.85 Impact Factor

My only complaint is that it is a little smaller than I had hoped and my longer name required them to make the font even smaller than you will see on a sample, but for the amazing price, it it far worth this small compromise. I got the regular paper that does not cost extra which is fine, but nothing special. If you can afford an upgrade to the paper, it would be even more special. The design specialist I worked with was great and overall I am very happy with my invitations."
"I have a particular theme for my wedding so I had to have an invitation that was suitable. This invitation was perfect. I was able to customize it (change color, add text lines, add a design on the back, etc.). The paper quality, color, and font are beautiful. It was designed perfectly, delivered perfectly, and my fiancé and I love it."
"I ordered the Tropical Sojourn wedding invites, along with personalized labels and thank you cards. I changed colours and added a picture and wasn't too sure how it would turn out.... OMG... got my package yesterday and I couldn't be happier. The quality of the paper is outstanding, the colours, ink... the picture on the back looks stunning... I am so happy and thankful I ordered my wedding invitations with you. Thank you so much!!!"

The Hunting of the Buffalo
The Hunting of the Buffalo, originally published in 1929, tells all about the marvelous and useful animal that once roamed the American plains. Its gradual extermination is chronicled by E. Douglas Branch, who drew on rich materials, including Indian legends, old letters and diaries, and tales of frontier travelers. No one has ever written more memorably about the great herds, their habits and haunts, their importance to the Indians, their discovery by awed whites, their decimation by huge cultural and economic forces.

Shaw defends 'QoS enhancement' package
Shaw Communications and its Canada-based cable MSO subsidiary have filed a series of court documents that aim to "set to record straight" regarding a "Quality of Service Enhancement" package being offered to Vonage customers and customers of other third-party VoIP services that leverage the public Internet.
The documents, filed in the Alberta Court of Queen's Bench in Calgary, note that Shaw's IP-based phone service is offered over the operator's QoS-enabled, managed network, while Vonage's service travels the public Internet and is open to packet delays and other "inherent limitations."
Shaw reiterated that its high-speed data customers who also use the Vonage service can take the QoS Enhancement service on a completely optional basis. The enhancement runs $10 per month.
Vonage has previously complained of the tactic, referring to it as a "thinly-veiled VoIP tax," and has since requested that the Canadian Radio-Television & Telecommunications Commission step in to investigate the matter.
Shaw officials have told CED previously that the enhancement includes an upgrade to a DOCSIS 2.0 modem and the cleaning up of RF interference in the home. Shaw also "marks" the modem's MAC address.
Vonage is also facing attacks in the U.S. On Monday, Vonage acknowledged it has been served with a patent infringement lawsuit filed by Verizon Services Corp. and Verizon Laboratories Inc. The suit claims Vonage is infringing on some intellectual property tied to Verizon's VoIP technology. Verizon presently offers a VoIP service called VoiceWing.
Vonage said it believes its service has been developed with its own proprietary technology or technologies licensed from third parties, and therefore "intends to vigorously defend the lawsuit."

Was upgraded to a suite on arrival. Staff at reception and concierge were very professional and helpful. Convenient location, close to BTS. Super comfy bed. Great amenities provided in the bathroom. Full size separate bath, as well as walk-in rainforest shower.
Even on the 21st floor, there was road noise (particularly in he bathroom which faced an expressway). WiFi required to continually log-in from mobile devices.
Very nice hotel, it just doesn´t look like a five star, but no problems.
Location was good as it was near the skytrain. Staff were very friendly. Pool area was nice. Bathroom was great.
Pool was very cold.
Bit far from shopping malls, but taxi and trains made it easy.

I like this hotel because it is near to Ploen Chit Sky Train station, but not on a main road, so it is reasonably quiet. When I visit, I have meetings across the city, so the central location is great.

It was a few blocks off the main drang and not realy near any decent resturants.
- Excellent staf - Very good beds (slept 14 hours without waking up after the flight from Amsterdam)
Prices of drinks and breakfast are high for BKK. However, this might count for all luxery hotels.
Special attendance for honeymoon,free upgrade and complementary items, goof service, perfect stay. Location also good
Everything mostly.
Wi-fi needs an overhaul. Too slow, falls out unnecessarily, does not allow VPN and gives the impression that it is being monitored.
The service is fantastic, very modern
Not the most popular location
The hotel is clean. Staff was very helpful. Breakfast was rich, and tasteful. This is the 4th time I am staying at this hotel. Looks like it is my favourite hotel in Bangkok. Because of its convenient location, cleanliness and value for price. Also I got a free upgrade.++
The location is 5 min. walkway from the nearest skytrain station.
The woman who checked us in was very helpful and the room was big and comfortable
The pool area isn't very big or particularly nice. Not really a 5 star but perfectly adequate
Location, facilities, ambience n room were not good at all
Very big bed Very friendly and helpful staff Good room service Nice pool but a bit cold Good cocktails Easy location for most things
Bit tricky to find with taxis so take their address with you when you go out
The bed was so large and the mattress so comfortable
Kind relaxed staff. Nice room's, not beaten up (yet). Relaxed quiet pool which makes you forget you're in a big city.
Pool/gym only open till 8pm. That's way too early after a long day of work/holiday.
The general vibe from the staff is unforced and the rooms are lovely
I was promised late check-out at 10:00 p.m. free of charge, but was called front reception desk at 14:00 p.m and asked when a would leave the room. I said they should contact the management regarding my appointment, but they claimed they would charge 50% for check out at 06:00 p.m. and 100% at check out 10:00 p.m. This is my sixt stay at this hotel and it's the same circus everytime. Not suitable for 5 star hotel.
The hotel is perfect for a quiet holiday at the beach. There is direct access to a private beach with good possibilities to relax. Hotel provide enough beachbeds, some hammocks and dinner can be done at the beach too. Food is good but there are also a few other restaurants around.
For people who want to have party and easy access to shops, bars etc definately not the right place as it is remote. The last 2 km drive is a nightmare because street is very pumpy
Room and bathroom were very spacious which we enjoyed as we were on our honeymoon and had many luggages. They surprised us by decorating our bed with flower petals and towel swans when we went out during the afternoon as well as a nice cake and a card from their manager.
The lobby had a cold feeling, too many open empty spaces. Just doesn't feel cosy. Parking was troublesome as we had to receive, stamp, return the ticket every time we went in and out.
Good value for money. Near to the BTS train (10 min walk but ok) and two stations away from Central Plaza

"But Where To Park?" Top 5 Page for this destination Coronado Tourist Trap Tip by lmkluque
Coronado Tourist Traps: 3 reviews and 3 photos
It is our advice that you will need a car to get around in San Diego.
However, in Coronado parking is sometimes difficult to find near the desired location and when there is plenty of parking, the price is dear.
The two places that I think of when I think of "hard to find" parking spaces are the Hotel del and the Coronado Beach. Parking at the beach is free, but finding a spot might take half the day unless you park several blocks away.
At the Hotel Del, the charge is high so you either pay it or park some distance away.
Unique Suggestions: The Hotel Del offers Valet parking--expensive--and a back parking lot--also expensive.
Finding a parking spot near the hotel is time consuming as there is much competition with beach goers who park for hours on end in spaces near the Hotel.
My method is to have faith someone will want to leave when I arrive and I will drive around the block a few times until that person shows up. Many of you may scoff at this but I know you haven't any faith. I've actually made doubters--including a loving husband--get out of my car while I went around the block and sure enough, without the negative energy fumming, a space opens up.
Fun Alternatives: If driving on faith is not your cup of tea, take the bus or walk or rent a bik at the Ferry Landing and ride it. Of course then you'll have the problem of where to park the bike.
Thank goodness that Coronado is small enough to get around by walking.

VIEWS: 5 PAGES: 13 CATEGORY: X-Ray Or Gamma Ray Systems Or Devices POSTED ON: 4/15/2012
The present invention relates to an x-ray fluorescence analyzer, and more particularly to a high-resolution, active optic fluorescence analyzer combining a large acceptance solid angle with wide energy tunability.DESCRIPTION OF THE RELATED ART X-ray absorption/fluorescence spectroscopy probes with atomic selectivity the electronic state, e.g. valence state, or chemical bonding and the local structure of the absorber atom. By applying high-resolution fluorescence spectroscopy theselectivity of this method is highly increased and moreover the core hole lifetime broadening is reduced. Fluorescence analyzers with electron-Volt resolution make it possible to determine the chemical speciation of samples containing multiple elements and a mixture of chemical phases and moreover allow a quantitative analysis and determination ofthe local environments of the interesting species. Therefore this kind of analytical tool is applied in areas like catalysis, environmental and industrial hygiene, nuclear waste management, semiconductor industry, or drug-development. More generally,the active optic concept of the analyzer facilitates the formation of any shape, so imaging the spatial distribution of a single element is also possible. Spatial resolution of the order of microns can be achieved. FIG. 1 illustrates a prior art fluorescence analyzer that was designed based on the principle of active optics, using a number of mechanical actuators to bend a piece of silicon crystal into a precisely defined shape. The original analyzerconsists of two pushers labeled riders in FIG. 1 that are moved along a respective rail to make a strip of silicon crystal buckle up, and a single row of eight correctors, labeled motor-driven micrometers, that fine-tune the shape of the strip toapproximate that of a logarithmic spiral. Hand-driven micrometer screws incorporated into the pushers are used to balance the pushing forces across the width of the silicon strip, to minimize the torsion on the

CDE Infrastructure
The ToolTalk server can be relied upon to broker client and server messages for inter-client plug-and-play. The common object request broker architecture (CORBA) movement has a great deal of strength behind it. But ToolTalk is lightweight, does the job and forms an integral part of CDE, which is deployed across a gamut of Unix platforms. ToolTalk takes message-handling registrations from method servers, then holds that information until client applications broadcast for those registered services. Platform gateways are not needed because ToolTalk interoperates between heterogeneous systems.
There is much more to CDE than meets the eye. Application and workspace developers alike have a rich feature-filled infrastructure upon which to build. Just like in the past, we still rely on the tried and true X and Motif; however, now we can count on the Common Desktop Environment for its development libraries and desktop management infrastructure.
If you are getting ready to write a new application or just thinking about sprucing up something that you have been working on, consider how your application can become more feature rich and desktop friendly with less code.

Most companies incorporate backup procedures for critical data, which can be restored quickly if a loss occurs. However, fewer companies are prepared for catastrophic system failures, in which they lose all data, the entire operating system, applications, settings, patches and more, reducing their system(s) to "bare metal." After all, before data can be restored to a system, there must be a system to restore it to.
In this one hour webinar, learn how to enhance your existing backup strategies for better disaster recovery preparedness using Storix System Backup Administrator (SBAdmin), a highly flexible bare-metal recovery solution for UNIX and Linux systems.

The indefinite hunger strike by women residents of Yamuna hostel in Jawaharlal Nehru University here demanding immediate eviction of their former warden entered its eighth day on Sunday without any let up from either the striking students or the administration.
"There has been no response from the administration. A circular was issued on the third day of our strike, but we rejected it because it was very vague and there was no concrete promise to address our demands," said hostel head Vibha.
The students have alleged that their hostel warden had been behaving badly with the workers and students in the hostel for the past 12 years. "These violations include illegally deducting wages of sanitation workers, falsifying employment records, subverting tendering processes in the mess, withholding refundable security deposits of students [especially foreign residents] and physical abuse of workers," she added.
The Delhi Commission for Safai Karamcharis had visited the hostel this past week, spoken to the workers and had decided to institute legal proceedings against the university, said a student.
'Actions criminal'
An enquiry into the warden's conduct had been initiated by the administration with her services being terminated in December. The warden has, however, been occupying her quarters ever since despite there being a university rule that the quarters be vacated within a month.
"Her actions were criminal in nature and she does not deserve to continue staying here," added Ms. Vibha.
The university had appointed an Officer on Special Duty to oversee the running of the hostel but suddenly relieved him of the post which has further worried the students that the warden might not actually leave at all. "It now seems that the administration has changed its mind and intends to keep her at Yamuna until her retirement. This means that despite having been found to have committed serious violations of workers' rights and to have treated students in such an appalling manner, she will continue to enjoy the privileges of wardenship at JNU while not even having to work for it, what a punishment," said another resident Urmila.
The students have also alleged that the warden told several students and workers that she will reassume her wardenship after a short break and that she had applied for an extension of her tenure in the university so that her retirement might actually take several years.
While some of the students have been on a relay strike, some have been fasting indefinitely for five to six days now.
Meanwhile, the continued strike has teachers worried despite hunger strikes in the university not being uncommon. "It is a concern for the entire community here that the hunger strike has continued for so long. There should be a dialogue between the students and the administration," said Assistant Dean of Students' Welfare Sachidanand Sinha.
However, the students are in no mood to relent with a protest demonstration being planned outside the administration building on Monday. "We will not stop because it is a gross violation of workers rights…she made sanitation workers work for 30 days but paid them only for 26 days and the administration actually threatened to evict us if we continue," added Ms. Vibha.

Engadget reviews MacBook Pro 2011 edition
If you're hungering for more hands-on detail on Apple's newest laptops, head over to our sister site Engadget where Nilay Patel and Joanna Stern have put the 15" model through its paces in a full review. Not to keep you in suspense: "the new MacBook Pro is the fastest laptop we've ever tested, hands-down." Nice.
While the review gives high marks for performance, it does ding Apple for not revving up the connectivity specs of the laptop or the industrial design (an extra USB port would be nice, as would a standard offer of the higher-resolution display). That said, a machine that is twice as fast as the model it replaces while keeping to the same price points is definitely a good buy.
I had the opportunity to see an SSD-equipped version of the new 15" MBP in action this evening, and it booted to the login screen from a cold start in what seemed to be less than five seconds -- so fast I almost didn't see it happen. The proud owner of the new laptop fired up Xcode and went on to compile a 35MB commercial Mac application in about 67 seconds, when the previous MBP crunched through the same job in about four and a half minutes. Not too shabby.

Harvard eyes start-ups - 0 Comments
College creating center to aid budding entrepreneurs
Would-be Harvard entrepreneurs will be grouped around tables in an Allston building working on their business plans, while others teleconference with their engineering teams halfway across the world. In the same large room, community members will sit in on a lecture about intellectual property or work their way through business boot camp.
That's the vision for the Harvard Innovation Lab — the university's first dedicated business incubation center, which is set to open next fall in a building that formerly housed public television station WGBH Boston.

Dots are inherited from the French swinging sixties, when fashion from the streets became mainstream, creating a complete revolution in the wardrobe and expressing the contestation of youth.
The Spring/Summer 2015 KENZO collection reinterprets the extremely creative era and celebrates the independent woman born in the sixties. This retro-futuristic influence can be found in the silhouettes and the prints: geometrical mini A-line skirts, sack dresses and of course dots of all sizes!
Set on a navy dots pattern, the Badges print celebrates two icons of the city: the Eiffel Tower and The statue of Liberty.
The Eiffel Tower was added to KENZO logo by Carol and Humberto as a fun and obvious reference to the house's French origins and it now comes back every season. Our second icon of the season is the Statue of Liberty. And only very few people know it but the Iron Lady (in a smaller version) is also facing the Seine River, melting into the Parisian landscape. This season, those symbols are two elements of the same idea: an outsider view of Paris that twists the Parisian clichés.
Last chapter of our Spring/Summer 2015 campaign with our KIDS visuals. TOILETPAPER imagined a futuristic origami 3D world where our two KENZO KIDS play with dinosaurs, skate mini planets and swim in the waters of secret islands!
Let's follow up with the second part of our Spring/Summer 2015 campaign by Toiletpaper where once again there's some kind of magic in those images!
This time, our two heroes walk on the ground of a ghost retro-futuristic city, grab buildings and asteroids with their hands and set up puppet shows with our jewelry!
We are happy to present our 4th collaboration with TOILETPAPER for our Spring/Summer 2015 campaign. Today, we're unveiling the first two visuals but stay tuned as we will present the whole campaign this week on kenzo.com.
The KENZO Spring Summer 2015 campaign reflects the combination of bright and futuristic inspirations from the KENZO men's and women's Spring- Summer 2015 Collections. To imagine the new KENZO world, Creative Directors Humberto Leon and Carol Lim once again called on the talents of TOILETPAPER, a collective composed of artist Maurizio Cattelan, photographer Pierpaolo Ferrari and art director, Micol Talso.
Set in a graphic and modern cityscape, the team wanted to convey an optimistic utopia and also to provide an element of surprise in the images. The viewer witnesses at once something instantly recognizable and familiar but upon closer reflection records an observation into the unknown.
For us, TOILETPAPER were an obvious choice for us to work with on this project. The strength and impact of their work is often in the most subtle visual tricks which become more powerful the longer you are exposed to them.

Humberto Leon and Carol Lim.
As we stepped inside the skate park in a far out northern suburb of Paris, it was all too easy to think that Carol Lim and Humberto Leon would be defaulting to sub-culture and go hard on skate. Instead, the skate park with its undulating concrete waves and steps provided the perfect blank canvas for huge LED screens to be erected.
On the screens, with a background of gradiated neon colours we saw a curious face tilting her head towards us, as she spoke. "Welcome to Kenzo SS15. KENZO would like to remind you there is no planet B. Please protect what is precious." Her name was Knola (all-knowing, all seeing?) and she is a real person despite the avatar appearance. Somewhere backstage, someone mysterious was making all of those facial expressions and movements come to life. She's quintilingual and a global citizen, and as her voice vaulted from English to Chinese to Japanese to French to Arabic, we realised it mirrored the way we live our 21st century lives today, traveling from one place to another in what feels like a much smaller world. It also reflected how Lim and Leon are themselves global citizens, splitting their work between New York and Paris, traveling to other cities in between for KENZO and Opening Ceremony and now both with kids, their thoughts turned to the future - a positive one at that. "We were really into this optimism for the future," said Leon after the show. "It's a future that's very close to us, not a space age future. We wanted to think about what that meant. We're definitely embracing technology and looking what is our vision for the future - cleanliness, purity, the right energy and about being responsible." Carol further pondered: "How do we play our part in this?"
For Lim and Leon's part, they decided to imbue KENZO SS15 collection with a free-your-mind attitude as they looked towards the future. We whizzed through flashes of New York, Tokyo, a Californian wave and sunsets on the screens accompanied by Disclosure's special soundtrack mix, which included the breakout track White Noise. How would Knola dress? She might be KENZO's avatar but she's also an appropriate vision for humanity in the future as we speed towards a world where physical boundaries, ethnic background and language barriers become irrelevant. We might all be like Knolas in the future.
Every silhouette swooshed and moved as the Knolas of our times get kitted out in giant skate trousers and giant zip-up jackets. She's not a skater girl as we know her. Aerated mesh and geometric lace in the brightest of whites were cut into elongated shirts and trumpet skirts, mimicking air streams in the sky. Technical knits and pinstriping drew lines on the body in relaxed athletic-inspired silhouettes. There was a chill-down raver vibe when we saw the looks were accessorised with organic moulded leather kitten heels and pool slides with naturalistic cut-outs, rubber handled net bags and sci-fi cyborg sunglasses. Optimistic abstract prints in pastel pinks and blues, highlighted the euphoric element in the collection. They emerged on oversized shirts and wide and loose trousers with side splits and mesh vests and swinging skirts. The final effect as models took their positions next to the Knola on the screen was an uplifting vision for the future. Machine, hand-made craftsmanship (as seen in the fabrics) and freedom in what we do or wear, standing side by side in solidarity.
On the screens, in between flashes of cityscapes, you could also see the movement of machinery. We've been conditioned in the last century to fear dystopian futures where machines take over our lives. But what if it doesn't have to be this way? Lim and Leon are enthusiastic embracers of technology and they expressed that solidly with this collection and show set-up. It's a refreshing change up from the usual doom and gloom about what dark places social media and technology are taking us. They're looking forward, not by dwelling on the past but reacting to what's going on around them.
