Photomicrography: Capturing Beauty, Up Close
They are shades of the rainbow—blues, yellows, reds, and greens—arranged in a luminous pattern of imperfect rectangles. They look like swatches of silk fabric. Or the tops of paintbrushes, one next to the other, dipped in multiple pots of color. Amazing to think that the glorious shapes in this digital photograph are actually the scales of a moth's wing. Magnified 100 times under a microscope, they are far more intricate than the shimmering wing you'd see with your naked eye. Charles Krebs, the photographer who took the image, is positively joyful when he talks about the drama of nature seen up close. "It's just absolutely stunning to peel off layer upon layer," he says. "Instead of getting simpler and simpler, it gets more complex." It is called photomicrography—a process that allows scientists and hobbyists to create colorful and stunningly detailed photographs of nonliving objects and living organisms up close. Very close. Scientists have been documenting microscopic discoveries... -
Harry Connick Jr. Blows Up at Blackface Michael Jackson Impersonator
Asked to appear on the Australian variety hour Hey Hey It's Saturday as a guest judge, Harry Connick Jr. sputters in disbelief when a Jackson 5 impersonation group entirely in blackface appears onstage. He first gives the group a 0 scorecard for the performance while the audience boos; later, at about 4:40 into the clip, Connick launches into an impassioned race-relations lecture explaining why blackface is a bad thing. "If I knew that was going to be a part of the show, I definitely wouldn't have done it," Connick declares on live TV. The host appears genuinely surprised.
Tom DeLay Talks to NEWSWEEK About Hanging Up His Dancing Shoes
Does the world feel a little more empty today? Last night Tom DeLay called it quits on Dancing With the Stars after he decided he just couldn't weather the pain of having stress fractures in both his feet. "If you can't practice, you make a fool of yourself out there," he told viewers last night. He's right. It takes a lot of practice to make those Kevin Bacon knee slides, sassy head whips, and sultry pelvic thrusts convincing. Not to mention all that booty shaking. Unfortunately, we'll never forget. This morning, DeLay phoned NEWSWEEK's Ramin Setoodeh to elaborate on that decision, as well as Bill Clinton, birthers, and whether he's worrried about going to jail. Here's an excerpt:So how bad is your injury?Two weeks ago, I got a stress fracture in my right foot. Last week I got a stress fracture in my left foot. It was pretty painful to practice last week. Last Sunday I could only do 30 minutes. But I knew the dance, and I wanted to see if I could dance. We took it... -

My Turn: In the Wake of Clinton's Congo Trip
Since 1998 hundreds of thousands of Congolese women and children have been raped, and more than 5 million people have died. One of the first victims of the violence was my best friend—-almost a sister—and her husband. Her body was found mutilated with more than 100 bullet holes; her husband had been shot not far away from her. The incident occurred while they were traveling back to Goma from Kigali, Rwanda. At the time, I thought it was an isolated tragedy.But in 1999 I started seeing more and more violence against women and children. And soon I started to realize that racism was to blame for the lack of global response to this humanitarian disaster. (It brought back memories from my childhood: my black, illiterate mother suffered for marrying the son of a rich, white Belgian colonialist.) In September 2000, after an 18-month-old baby, raped and with a broken body, died in my arms on our way to the hospital, I stopped believing in the promises of Western politicians and was... -
Editor's Letter - Meacham
On Nov. 2, 1945—All Souls' Day in the Catholic tradition—J. Robert Oppenheimer spoke to scientists at Los Alamos. "It is clear to me that wars have changed," he said. "It is clear to me that if these first bombs—the bomb that was dropped on Nagasaki—that if these can destroy 10 square miles, then that is really quite something. It is clear to me that they are going to be very cheap if anyone wants to make them." Oppenheimer basically had it right: nuclear weapons are not particularly cheap, but the knowledge, once unleashed, could not be contained. This was a persistent concern among the scientists who made the Manhattan Project come to life, including Albert Einstein, who wrote FDR in 1939 about "extremely powerful bombs of a new type." (The Pulitzer Prize–winning book American Prometheus, by Kai Bird and Martin J. Sherwin, is essential reading about the beginnings of the bomb.) Those present at the creation feared what has come to pass: the steady proliferation of the means of... -

Letters: 'The Mind of the Taliban'
The Taliban don't come across as religious fanatics, but more as a people who just want us out of there. Geoff Baldwin, Portola Valley, Calif.The Taliban do not believe we can win; the Afghan people do not believe in their leader, Hamid Karzai, or in the police or Army. If a country's populace has no faith in the leadership, do we outsiders have a chance to influence the outcome? Gene Ortman, Waterford, Mich.Our presence in Afghanistan is a recruiting theme for insurgents. In light of this, the U.S. should pull out its troops other than those required to hunt down the remainder of Al Qaeda. We must warn the Afghans that if they want peace they must elect a government that will not provide a sanctuary for terrorists or illegal drug crops. Lt. Col. Jim Schmidt, U.S. Army Special Forces (Ret.), Ft. Collins, Colo.Our policy of not calling in firepower when Taliban forces are in civilian areas is a prescription for granting them permanent safe havens virtually everywhere in the country.... -

Top 10 Reasons David Letterman's Sextortion Scandal Won't Matter
David Letterman is in trouble again, only this time Sarah Palin is not involved. He came clean last night about a series of sexual affairs he's had with younger women on his staff which have resulted in an alleged plot to extort $2 million out of him to prevent a tell-all book. The host shared all this in lieu of a Top 10, in a strangely half-comedic, half-serious monologue that ended with him mimicking his extortionist in a leprechaun voice, to loud laughter from the audience. The only thing is, will people actually care? Absolutely not. Here are our top 10 reasons why: 10. This will give Dave and Bill O'Reilly something to talk about during their next awkward interview. 9. It's not like he was married. Letterman only got hitched seven months ago to Regina Lasko, whom he's been dating for 23 years. 8. Viagra just called. They want to sponsor his show. 7. Circus-freak syndrome: the man who joked about a Palin daughter getting down with an older Yankee has ... -
Leading the Global Fight Against the Flu
Dr. Margaret Chan is a veteran in the -infectious-disease wars. As Hong Kong's director of health, she faced down an avian-flu outbreak in 1997 and SARS in 2003. Now as director-general of the World Health Organization, she is leading the global battle to survive—and better understand—the H1N1 pandemic, just as a second wave of infection is about to hit the Northern Hemisphere. She recently spoke with NEWSWEEK's Alexandra A. Seno in Hong Kong. Excerpts: ... -
Israeli Filmmakers Tackle the Mideast Conflict
A young Arab gasps for breath as he tears down the street, his feet pounding rhythmically on the asphalt. Omar, who comes from the downtrodden Jaffa neighborhood of Ajami, has just witnessed a killing and he is running for his life. It's early morning, and the streets around Tel Aviv's Court of Justice are deserted. It's an apt metaphor; there is no justice here, only a panicked teenager fleeing his own destiny. In his head, Omar hears the soothing voice of his younger brother, telling him to close his eyes and relax. His breath catches as he turns the corner and trips, falling hard on the pavement. "On the count of three you'll open your eyes," his brother's voice promises, "and find yourself in another place." But in the Middle East, there is no escape from the realities of hatred, violence, and oppression. Omar, who has been involved in a drug deal gone wrong, arrives at the getaway van, only to find it's locked and he's trapped. "One…two…three. Open your eyes!" his brother's... -
In Dallas, Even the Arts Are Big
When President Eisenhower stuck a silver shovel in the dirt at the groundbreaking for Lincoln Center in 1959, he talked about America's desire to share "the good things of life with all our citizens." The architects of the arts complex apparently didn't get the message. Built on an urban-renewal site—West Side Story was filmed there just before the bulldozers arrived to tear down the tenements—Lincoln Center turned its back on the neighborhood. Its travertine, colonnaded buildings were set high on a podium with fortress-like walls, creating an Acropolis of the arts that might as well have posted a NO LOITERING sign for any Sharks or Jets still hanging in the 'hood. Patrons of opera or ballet could drive into its vast garage underneath the various performance spaces and never set foot on the surrounding mean streets.Lincoln Center is still the country's premier cultural complex, but it's getting competition from an ambitious project in—are you ready for it, New Yorkers?—Dallas. This... -
Juliet, Naked: Nick Hornby's Neurotic Lists
In a very funny scene in Nick Hornby's new novel, Juliet, Naked, Annie makes a list of novels for a man she's met online. The two have been e-mailing about music, art, and books, having conversations that are part showing off, part giddy excitement over finding someone who feels the same way you do about art and culture. After agonizing over her choices, Annie suffers a fit of nerves. One book seems too obvious, another possibly insensitive, a third might suggest she's a lesbian, "when in fact the whole idea was that she was trying to indicate the opposite." Minutes before their first meeting, she stuffs the stack of novels in the trash.Hornby, who's been literature's unofficial expert on neurotic list making since 1995's High Fidelity, wrote the scene for laughs, but he also believes that Annie's anxieties are the crux of the novel, his sixth. "That scene contains the most rewritten paragraphs in the whole book," he says. "It shows what kind of person she is, how much she's trying... -

Shakespeare's Hamlet: A Play More Timely Than Ever
Shakespeare had the good fortune to write Hamletbefore anyone could tell him how to fix it. Were he working today, the playwriting system—in this country, at least—would exhaust itself trying to improve the thing. In workshops, his fellow playwrights would nudge him to be more specific: "So is Hamlet mad or isn't he? And what did Gertrude know? Right now it feels a little general." Artistic directors would shift uncomfortably when faced with a script this long and sprawling: "You know we love ambitious writing here, Will. But in these tough times, let's cut Guildenstern. Also Act IV." The critics would acknowledge Shakespeare's gift for phrasemaking, but assail plot twists—e.g., the unlikely pirate attack that sends Hamlet back to Denmark—that keep the play from completely "working." If the author would "do some editing" and "decide what he's trying to say," his play might one day be almost as profound as Gypsy, though "the songs aren't as good."Deprived of this assistance,... -

Grand Valley Michigan's Minimalist-Music Hotbed
The best performances of Terry Riley's 1964 minimalist classic In C come off like great sex: variations are gradually introduced and then withdrawn from a rhythmic structure—and when it's all over, you have a trancelike "what just happened?" kind of hum in your head. Created as a shot across the bow of midcentury atonal complexity, In C is typically driven by a pianist who pounds out a C note, in different octaves, for the entire piece, while a group of musicians (any number and on instruments they choose) play 53 shards of melody around that steady pulse. In C depends on this radical openness, which in turn reveals the work's ability to retain an identity even as the performers collaborate in surprising ways. So it's fitting that Riley's piece can still shock on its 45th anniversary, this time courtesy of a two-disc set titled In C Remixed. Even more shocking: the album is conceived by Bill Ryan and his students at Michigan's Grand Valley State University.Yes, you read correctly.... -

Oh Shit, Grumpy Cat Cake Pops
I am actually surprised it took this long for these to exist. Via Bakerella.
The queen of twee baking has outdone herself this time. Bakerella's Angie Dudley recreated two of the internet's cutest pets, Grumpy Cat and Boo, using her signature cake pops. And I, for one, could not be more thrilled.
Made from crumbled cake and frosting, Dudley's basic cake pops (click here to see Bakerella's recipe) are pretty easy to make. But to turn them into recognizable, internet-famous pets requires a little more skill, both artistic and architectural. For Grumpy, the ears are chocolate wafers cut into triangles. The eyes are Jumbo confetti sprinkles broken in half. The rest of the face — well you basically have to draw it with chocolate.
Check out how Bakerella did it below, and visit her site for the recipe.
Not a cat person? You should probably look at the Boo cake pops, instead.

Oppo Find 7 expected to release with multiple versions in march
Chinese electronics maker Oppo was more than happy in December to confirm that its Find 7 smartphone will sport a2K resolution display, but now it seems like there may be a standard HD version in the works as well. After all, QHD 2K screens pack a lot of pixels in – 2,560 x 1,440, to be precise – and the benefit to consumers has yet to be demonstrated. Having a cheaper version with a 1080p display sure makes a lot of sense.
Chinese handset maker Oppo is expected to introduce at least two versions of its Find 7 smartphone next month, according to recent rumblings. And a post on the company's Weibo social network account suggests that it's true. Leaked benchmarks from earlier in the week suggest that at least one Oppo Find 7 will feature a 1080p display. Yet, since Oppo went on record to say that it would give the Find 7 a 2K display, this suggests that there could be multiple devices in the works — an idea supported by the phrasing in Oppo's social networking teaser that Finds "are" coming.

Activity recognition systems using simple and ubiquitous sensors require a large variety of real-world sensor data for not only evaluating their performance but also training the systems for better functioning. However, a tremendous amount of effort is required to setup an environment for collecting such data. For example, expertise and resources are needed to design and install the sensors, controllers, network components, and middleware just to perform basic data collections. It is therefore desirable to have a data collection method that is inexpensive, flexible, user-friendly, and capable of providing large and diverse activity datasets. In this paper, we propose an intelligent activity data collection tool which has the ability to provide such datasets inexpensively without physically deploying the testbeds. It can be used as an inexpensive and alternative technique to collect human activity data. The tool provides a set of web interfaces to create a web-based activity data collection environment. It also provides a web-based experience sampling tool to take the user's activity input. The tool generates an activity log using its activity knowledge and the user-given inputs. The activity knowledge is mined from the web. We have performed two experiments to validate the tool's performance in producing reliable datasets.
Human Activity recognition has emerged as an active and challenging research area in ubiquitous computing during the last decade. A large number of activity recognition based applications have been investigated, e.g., patient monitoring system, employee monitoring system. A variety of activity recognition systems have been developed to meet the requirements of such applications [
When we talk about building an activity recognition system, we need to think about how to train the system for better functioning and how to evaluate the performance of the system. We need a large variety of real-world activity datasets such that we can use these datasets not only for training but also for evaluating the system's performance.
However, collecting real-world activity datasets is not an easy task. We need to build testbeds to observe and accumulate the interaction information between users and their home environment. Testbeds are built by embedding a number of ambient sensors with a set of home appliances in the subject's living environment and data is collected by observing the sequences of object usage (as the user interact with the object with embedded sensor) for activities.
There is a significant amount of effort needed in constructing a physical testbed to collect the real-world activity data [
Moreover, the range and variety of real-world datasets are limited to only one or two environments. The diversity of such datasets is extremely limited. In activity recognition research, it is important to validate the performance of the system with a diverse set of real-world activity examples. The algorithm tested with the datasets acquired from a variety of environment would be robust in general. It would therefore show superior performance (irrespective of the environment) in comparison with the algorithms validated with the datasets acquired from one environment.
Additionally, the datasets are relatively small, which has a variety of reasons: (1) it is difficult to find volunteers who would stay in a testbed and annotate their own activities; (2) even if we find such volunteers, they are required to stay in the testbed for long time to generate a reasonable amount of activity data. For example, in order to have 100 instances of an activity, volunteer(s) might need to stay in the testbed for 100 days; (3) the volunteers have to be focused all the time for accurate annotation of activities; (4) it could be very expensive to get a large dataset; (5) it would be difficult to formulate the appropriate object-usage interpretation.
Thus it is desirable to have an intelligent data collection method that is inexpensive, flexible, user-friendly, and also capable of providing large and diverse activity datasets. Before describing our contributions, it would be convenient to describe what an activity dataset is and what the entities of this dataset are. An activity dataset consists of a bunch of activity instances, each of which contains two types of information: the activity information and the corresponding object-usage information. The activity information is the activity name (or activity ID) and its duration (
Our motivation is to investigate how to comprise such a dataset without physically building the testbed. This would be the most inexpensive and may be the most feasible solution. Therefore, in [
In short, the tool provides a set of web interfaces to create a web-based activity data collection environment. It also provides a web-based Experience Sampling method Tool (EST) by which a participant (or user) can supply his/her activity information by choosing the set of objects he/she interacted with and by providing their interaction sequence. The tool then transforms this information into an activity log using the activity knowledge it has already mined from the web. The contributions of this paper are summarized below:
We propose a web-based activity data collection tool which can be used as an inexpensive and fast alternative to collect diverse activity datasets without actually building a testbed in real time. We propose a set of web interfaces to construct the activity data collection environment. We also propose a web-based EST to capture the participant's object-usage information of an activity. We propose an Intelligent Activity Generation Component (IAGC) which takes participant's (or user's) input and produces an activity log as output by partially removing the noises. For this intent it uses its existing activity data acquired from the web. The IAGC mines the web activity data using a web mining algorithm proposed in [ We have performed two experiments to validate the tool's performance in producing reliable datasets.
The rest of the paper is organized as follows. In Section 2, we review the previous works related to the real-world activity data collection tool. In Section 3, we give an overview of the proposed tool. This is followed by the detail descriptions of each of these components in Sections 4–6. In Section 7, we show the experiments we have performed to validate the tools performance in producing reliable datasets. In Section 8, we describe various issues associated with the tool. In Section 9, we conclude our paper with a direction of future work.
There are a few tools that have been built for the real-world activity data collection. To the best of our knowledge, this work is the first of such tools that use web-based interfaces to construct the data collection environment and to collect activity information.
The activity data collection (using simple and ubiquitous sensors) procedure requires a series of actions: (1) select (or build) a home in which activity data will be collected, (2) select a set of home objects (
To the best of our knowledge, Tapia
Even though the aforementioned works have shown excellent promise in building the data collection tools, they had several limitations such as (1) special device was required to annotate an activity, and (2) they were unable to capture diverse set of data (since data collection was limited to one or two environments). Building a physical testbed of such is always expensive and therefore is the biggest drawback. Our tool on the other hand does not require any physical testbed which makes it applicable to almost all home environments. It is possible to obtain diverse set of data inexpensively from various environments. The proposed EST is web based and does not require any special device. Above all, the tool is extremely inexpensive and therefore can be used to as an alternative of real tesbed deployment.
We have proposed an intelligent data collection tool that can be used to collect human activity data inexpensively. It uses a set of web interfaces to construct the data collection environment and to capture the user's input of an activity. The tool combines the web activity data and the user's input to generate an activity instance. It mines the web activity data using a web mining algorithm. It is inexpensive, flexible, and user-friendly by its very design. It has the ability to provide large and diverse activity datasets. The overview of the tool is shown in Administrative component: The main objective of this component is to provide interfaces such that an administrator can configure the tool as well as the data collection environment. User's component: The purpose of this component is to provide interfaces such that a user can provide his/her experience ( Activity generation component: The objective of the IAGC is to transform a user's experience to an activity log. It uses the web activity data for this transformation. The IAGC uses a web mining algorithm to acquire such data.
In the following sections we describe each of the components in more details.
As described earlier, the objective of this component is to provide interfaces such that an administrator (or user with domain knowledge) can configure the tool and the testbed. He/she first configures the tool using the configuration interface by providing a set of activities, locations and objects it can deal with and the object-usage sampling rate (per activity). He/she then configures the testbed by choosing a set of activities to monitor, their corresponding locations and a set of objects per location. In this section, we describe each of these interfaces.
An administrator can configure the tool using an interface shown in
The tool offers two interfaces such that a user with little computer knowledge can configure the testbed for data collection. A user can configure the testbed by selecting a set of activities to monitor and by choosing a set of objects which could be used when giving the object-usage information regarding an activity.
The interface to select a set of activities is shown in
The interface to choose a set of objects per locations is shown in
The purpose of this component is to provide an EST such that a participant can annotate his/her activity (along with its duration) and a set of object-usage sequence for that activity.
The tool uses a web-based inexpensive and user-friendly EST. We refrained from using any special device (which may not available in all environments) for EST since our goal is to make this a general purpose tool. Additionally, the web-based solution makes the data collection procedure ubiquitous. It means that a user is not required to be at home for inputting his/her activity information.
A screen shot of the EST is shown in
The set of objects are the objects available to the location(s) in which the activity is performed. Therefore, the set of objects can be automatically changed when the selected activity is changed. The user must first select the activity from the activity selection menu. Upon selection of the activity, one row of object-usage becomes visible. The next row will only be visible if user chooses an object from the object-usage selection menu and the next will be shown if he/she selects another object and so on. The maximum number of object-usage would be the total number of objects available to the location in which the activity is performed. In this way we make the redundant substances invisible from user.
As shown in the screen shot, we divide the total activity period (say,
Generally, the interpretation of the object-usage input for a checked time slot is that, the object was in use (for the whole duration or a fraction of that) within the time slot. For example, for the time slot 0–5 min (in
After providing all the information, a user could add his/her experience. The EST stores all the given object-usage and their corresponding intervals with some random noises into a repository as raw data. The random noises make the data as close as possible to the real-world. In real-world activity scenario, it is possible to use one or more objects inadvertently that are not related to that activity (e.g., living room's light is on while cleaning kitchen). Additionally, the EST sends these raw data to IAGC for generating the actual activity sample.
Although it is possible to add experiences anytime (e.g., at the end of each day), we expect a user to provide his/her experience at the end of each activity. The EST would beep in every 10 min to remind the user to provide his/her activity if it is finished. Providing activity information at the end of an activity would ensure a correct scenario of object-usage sequence for that activity. It also reduces user's effort in providing their experience.
A participant will not be able to provide precise object-usage duration with the proposed EST described above. It is possible to change the EST in a way such that a participant could provide close to precise object-usage duration. However, in that case he/she has to recall the exact duration of usage for all the objects he/she used. This will be extremely inconvenient for the participant since the number of object-usage could be overwhelming. This in turn will make the activity information (or experience) error-prone. Therefore, instead of depending on the participant to provide the reliable object-usage timings, we use an intelligent component (we named it IAGC) to generate such. The component takes the partial timing (or noisy timing) as input from the participant and produces a reliable timing.
The overview of the IAGC is shown in
It is possible to interpret a checked slot as the constant use of an object (
The activity generator first computes the probabilities of the objects used for the given activity,

Activity mining engine.
For this purpose the activity mining engine uses a straightforward algorithm as shown in
An example is shown in
In this section we describe the process of generating an activity log with the help of the following example: a participant cleans a room with a vacuum cleaner for 20 min. He gets the vacuum cleaner from the closet, cleans the room and put it back into the closet.
As we can see in this example, two objects are being used, closet and vacuum cleaner. The participant would like to input this activity information with the EST. Let us consider that the EST provides 5 timing slots,
If data related to vacuuming are provided to the EST then it stores and sends them to IAGC including one or more random noises (described in Section 5). Let the random noise in this case be the burner which is set active on for the 1st and 2nd slot. The EST representations of the object-usage are shown in
After getting inputs from EST, the IAGC transforms them into an actual activity log with the help of the mined data. Let each slot,
We have performed two experiments to validate the performance of the tool. The objective of the first experiment is to train and evaluate a system's performance with the help of an activity dataset acquired by the proposed tool. The objective of the second experiment is to see the performance of the activity generator for producing a dataset by taking input from an existing activity dataset (acquired from a real testbed). This section is organized as follows: we first describe the setup we have used for the web activity data mining and then describe the experiments.
As described earlier, the tool uses a search engine to mine the web activity data. In this experiment we used Google since this is the most popular web search engine worldwide [
As we discussed before, the goal is to make the datasets as inexpensive as possible. Therefore, we did not hire any participants, instead we select few volunteers. We have managed to convince one volunteer so far. The volunteer does not have any relation with our research group. She is a 28-year-old girl who lives in an apartment with her parents and two kids. We had a meeting with her for about two hours. During this time we educated her about our data collection tool, setup her individual environments and told her to play with the EST in front of us. It was easy to teach her since she was familiar with the web forms. She managed to setup her environment by herself.
Thirty objects in five different locations were chosen to acquire object-usage information from the user. Although her apartment consists of three bedrooms, three bathrooms, two balconies, one hallway, one kitchen, one living and one dining, we only consider one bedroom, one bathroom, one hallway, one kitchen, one living and one dining room. Each of the objects was given unique identification numbers. The list of the objects along with their locations are given in
The testbed was set to record eight activities: breakfast, lunch, dinner, cooking, toileting, bathing, watching TV, sleeping and going out.
During the time of conducting the experiments, 10 days' data were annotated. The dataset consists of two tables: activity table and object-usage table. Each of the entries of the activity table consists of the activity start-time, end-time and ID, and each of the entries of the object-usage table consists of the object-usage start-time, end-time and ID. An example of these tables are shown in
After acquiring the dataset and carefully reviewing it, we have found a few problems. For example, the participant made mistakes while inputting start and end time of an activity or an object-usage, and some of the activities has no object-usage information. We have removed these faulty entries while preparing the dataset for experiment.
To validate the applicability of the dataset we use an activity recognition algorithm we proposed in [
In this experiment the object-usage are divided in window size of length Δ = 1 min. This window size is long enough for discriminating and short enough for providing high accuracy labeling results [
Two types of accuracy measurements are used for evaluation: Timeslice accuracy and Class accuracy [
As shown in
It is also observed that the OTA and OCA show different accuracy result. The reason are the number activity instances and their durations are imbalanced between activity classes. For example the number of occurrences (provided by the participant) of "Sleeping" are 10 and its duration is 7–10 h. On the other hand the number of occurrences of "Toileting" is 34 and its duration is 1–10 min. As described earlier, in this experiment the object-usage are divided in window size of length Δ = 1 min. Therefore, the total instances (the activity recognition system has sliced) of "Sleeping" are more than 4,200 and the total instances of "Toileting" are less than 340. As the activity recognition accuracy for "Sleeping" is higher than that of "Toileting", the OTA and OCA are influenced to show different result.
The objective of this experiment is to see the performance of activity generator in producing a dataset by taking input from an existing activity dataset (acquired from a real testbed). In other words, the activity generator takes activity name, duration and object-usage scenario as input from an existing dataset and by manipulating this information produces a new dataset of its own. We compare these two datasets to validate the performance of the activity generator.
The dataset we use are acquired by Kasteren
A different
The activity generator produces the dataset as follows. For each activity,
After that we compare the object-usage scenario of these two datasets to see how accurate the IAGC is in producing the dataset. The results are shown in
It is observed that the object-usage scenario of an activity is more accurately generated by the activity generator if the most appropriate or most frequently used objects (generally used for that activity) are used while performing that activity. For example, the activity generator achieves overall accuracy of 96% for "Drink" since two important objects, "Cup" and "Fridge" of this activity are frequently used. On the other hand, for "Sleeping" the activity generator achieves low accuracy (
During configuration of the tool and testbed, an administrator should keep the followings in mind:
One of the important issues of this tool is to provide the name of the activities, locations and objects because the efficiency of the activity generator depends on choosing the appropriate names. Wrong or malicious names of such would lead to error in generating a reliable dataset. Therefore, during the configuration of the tool, an administrator should choose short but appropriate names of activities, locations and objects. Choosing the right object is an important factor for reducing the noises of the dataset. For example, choosing the "shower faucet" in the bathroom would reduce noise of "Bathing", because it is highly likely that "shower faucet" will be used while "Bathing". The values for
Although the proposed tool can generate a reliable dataset with the help of participant's input and the web activity data, it could not be considered as a replacement of a dataset acquired in a real testbed. A dataset acquired from a real testbed is always preferable not only for training an activity recognition system but also for evaluating its performance.
The activity data collection is passive, in a sense that the system hugely relies on the user for annotation as well as performing activity in a pre-defined sequence of object usage. But a user might end up giving incomplete, wrong or malicious object-usage scenario. Although the activity generator will try to remove the noises, it may end up generating inaccurate activity log.
The datasets provided by different people may suffer from inconsistency as different users execute and describe activity differently. However, as long as the activity descriptions are reliable, the datasets are helpful for training and evaluating a system's performance. More and more of such datasets are indeed required to develop a robust and general-purpose activity recognition system.
In this paper, we have proposed a web-based activity data collection tool which can be used as a rapid alternative of the state-of-the-art activity data collection. The tool provides a series of web-based interfaces through which an administrator (or a user with domain knowledge) can configure the tool as well as the testbed. It also provides a web-based EST by which a user can provide his/her activity experience. For providing an experience the user simply needs to provide the duration of an activity along with partial timings (or noisy timings) of the set of object-usage. The tool has an intelligent activity generator which generates the actual activity log by reducing the noises of user's input. The activity generator uses the web activity data to generate such activity log. The web activity data is mined by an activity mining engine. We have shown that it is possible to accumulate diverse set of real-world activity data using the proposed tool. We have performed two experiments to validate the tool's performance in producing reliable datasets.
Even though the activity generation component could provide close to real-world object-usage scenario, it may fail to furnish the exact object-usage sequence in parallel environment (when two or more objects are used within same time duration). The future version of this component would overcome such a drawback. We are planning to use object-usage sequence information mined from the web, using an improved mining algorithm.

Norman and Beard
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Norman and Beard were a pipe organ manufacturer based in Norwich from 1887 to 1916.
The origins of the company are from a business founded in Diss in 1870 by Ernest William Norman (1851 - 1927). In 1876 he moved to Norwich where he went into partnership with his brother, Herbert John Norman (1861 - 1936). In 1887 they went into partnership with George A. Wales Beard, and the company was formed. In 1896 the company opened a second office in London.
They worked closely with Robert Hope-Jones and held the patents on many of his developments, including electro-pneumatic action.[1]
The company merged with William Hill & Sons of London in 1916, and became William Hill & Son & Norman & Beard Ltd..

Hoskoté's sense of linguistic play comes through in this volume.
Vanishing Acts: New and Selected Poems, Ranjit Hoskoté, Penguin Books, p.219, Rs. 250.
RANJIT HOSKOTÉ has had a good run as a poet, with three volumes of poetry and copious translations in German. He recently won, along with others, an award for young writers at Sahitya Akademi's Golden Jubilee. (Namdeo Dhasal won the main one.) Now comes a volume of New and Selected Poems: 1985-2005, though his first volume was published in 1991.
Windy rhetoric
The earlier Hoskoté revelled in high-toned, over-heated verse. "Between my palms scald and struggle/ the redhot coals of hours". Take these lines from "Wolf Rain": "Rain-hit my eyelids shuttered and rain-hit/ my shoulder receded into its shell, / and from watching the tracks spooling into the past/ I drew back, wrapped myself into the train, rain-hit." Four laboured lines when one would have done. The poem on painter Ram Kumar starts: "The wind has been blowing through your paintings/ for a thousand years: overtures without tomorrows. And what voices have you heard on this wind... What diamond shards of sailcloth/ have stabbed through this wind, fingerprinted by the dawn?"
Mature poet now
This reviewer gingerly went to the new poems (2000-2005) at the end of the volume, praying he wouldn't encounter such windy rhetoric again. The prayers were answered. Readers now face a mature poet in Hoskoté. The very first poem, on a moth, is delicate, fragile, "the moth is rust/ its wings the colour of blood drying on stone". And when a boy grabs at it, it turns to "pollen dust".Hoskoté could always mint a fine phrase. Glow-worms become "ambushes of light"; Kabir wraps "himself in the torn fabric of sky"; an editor watches "first light crouching over tents"; a lady finds "a hypnotist standing by to catch her dreams". "Diagnosis" and "Miniature" are subtle poems and so is "The Interpreter". The interpreter sounds more like an intelligence agent "who receives no mail, leaves no forwarding address". But he interprets signs that no one else cares for and "chases after receding horizons". One day "he will forget the passwords: /trapdoors will yawn between his nouns/ and the things they named". Hoskoté should know, for, he himself interprets art and poetry — the blurb calls him "a culture theorist", though I don't know what that means. A poem, "Long Distance Call" is not just about phones and satellites, but about voices coming from distant worlds, sieved through walls and curtains of rain, time zones and dreams. Similarly "Café Monsoon" is not just about negotiating a rain-dark night.Memory and myth act like magnets to Hoskoté's verse. He has a fine poem on the Philoctetes, marooned on the island Lemnos on Odysseus's advice, because his wound stank too much. But he inherited the bow and arrows of Heracles and according to prophecies, only those could conquer Troy. So he was summoned after 10 years to Troy to kill Paris. Shouldn't all this be footnoted for the Indian reader? Hoskoté digs for meaning, travels far for illumination. Everyday phenomena appear to him as a code to be broken, as land does to his surveyor: "What is land but the wry code left to be broken/ at the map's edge?" The Surveyor's fear of houses is about leaving, "the shutting of doors, the creaking of hinges". But when he does move out, he finds, "The landscape itself, / like a stalled engine, growling to life".
Simple mastery
A short poem, "Circa", needs to be quoted in full.The archivist returns to the earliest drafts
of the master's poems, folded away
between the pages of old notebooks:
it's like carbon-dating a few fine bones
buried in an avalanche of conceits.
Why can't he always write as simply as that? Even in the new poems, there are passages that seem overdone. (I wouldn't eat a steak cooked by him.) A poem on Guru Dutt has this about the theatre audience: ... a thousand throats crying
in the voices of strange animals driven
by fire or flood into the wrong country.
If you are talking of Guru Dutt, talk of the sepia tinted light of his films, his artistry, the haunting songs, talk of Waheeda Rehman! Why waste time over the fans? Similarly, in a haunting poem on the last sad days of Nissim Ezekiel (so aptly and sensitively named "Passing a Ruined Mill"), we have this clutter of images:
They poured tea into his hours,
waiting for the clouded marble of his eyes
to spark a relay in the burnt-out tungsten
of his thoughts.
Agha Shahid Ali rightly talks of Hoskoté's "sense of linguistic play". Mostly he handles words (and images) beautifully. A mountain river becomes "a shrivelled skin of ice". At his best, one thinks of him as a pedigreed racehorse rolling and gambolling on the pastures of language.

Dr Samantha Pegg: Proper label for domestic violence offence is needed
Posted: August 28, 2014
|Dr Samantha Pegg from Nottingham Trent University says it's difficult to create a new domestic violence offence, but it needs doing
A STATISTIC states that at least two people a week in England and Wales are killed by their intimate partners.
Official crime figures reveal that in 2012-13, approximately seven per cent of women and four per cent of men experienced domestic abuse.
The true figures on domestic violence are undoubtedly far greater, as victims are often unwilling to report their experiences.
Steps are being taken to improve this with the introduction this year of "Clare's Law" – named after Clare Wood, who was killed by her ex-boyfriend.
Officially named the Domestic Violence Disclosure Scheme, the law gives men and women the right to ask police about their partner's history of violence, domestic or otherwise. New civil orders, termed domestic violence protection orders (similar to injunctions) have also been rolled out nationwide.
Although these initiatives strengthen and formalise existing powers, they do put the emphasis on the victim to take steps to safeguard themselves.
A domestic homicide review published this month suggests there is room for improvement in how we deal with domestic violence.
The murder of Nottingham woman Leighann Wightman by her partner in 2011 found failings in information-sharing between agencies, including the NHS and probation.
The police received particular criticism.
Of course, the police and welfare agencies need to exercise best practice. But is it time for a specific domestic violence offence?
A more specific offence would allow us to accurately track the scale of the problem.
Currently, offenders are charged with offences such as assault, harassment, rape, threatening behaviour and stalking.
A domestic violence offence, focusing on an offender's overall course of conduct, would more accurately reflect the reality of domestic violence.
Labelling offenders as domestic abusers would more properly reflect the severity of domestic violence, allow for focused sentencing, the better distribution of resources and targeted offender treatment programmes.
This could give victims greater confidence in the justice system and prompt intervention before abuse becomes serious or even fatal.
Creating an offence fit for purpose will be a challenge but, given the extent of the problem, it's worth taking on.

Police took a lot of heroin off the streets Friday night when they arrested 38 year of William Harris in Tobyhanna Township, Monroe County.
According to court records, a trooper noticed several things wrong after pulling Harris over and then asked to search the vehicle driven by Harris.
After receiving consent, police found 2,000 bags of heroin in the engine compartment.
State police say they are stepping up efforts to catch these drug traffickers as they drive through the Keystone state.
"Drugs have always been a very dangerous problem for the citizens of Pennsylvania," said Trooper Adam Reed, public information officer for the Pennsylvania State Police Department. "But lately we have been seeing an uptick in cases involving heroin."
Police say drug trafficking along the Interstate is on the rise, but so are their arrests, and that law enforcement on all levels are making more of an effort to look for these types of offenders.
"Our troopers are very active in patrolling the roadways, looking for shipments of drugs in vehicles," said Reed. "We are at airports and other things looking for packages contain drugs as well."
In 2013, the Pennsylvania State Police seized 62 pounds of heroin.
So far in the first quarter of 2014, troopers have seized 37.6 pounds of the drug, which means getting more troopers on the Interstate is working according to state police.
"We're really proud of our efforts so far this year and I'm sure that number is going to keep climbing," added Reed.
Willam Harris is currently in the Monroe County prison with bail set at $100,000.

Ha! That's funny. The above link is of a photo I took. And for the record…18th Street and Cumberland Falls Hwy are the same thing. I grew up in Corbin and this was the only drive-in there. Corbin has been having a "tear everything down" party lately. There are now a lot of parking lots where there were once really cool old buildings.

I was just in Corbin back in November 2006 and the screen had been torn down and I believe the lot has been turned into some sort of go-cart track…or at least those are the plans that I heard about. So sad.

132426 / 1991 Dodge Stealth R/T Twin Turbo For more information on this vehicle visit http://tinyurl.com/892bfe3 The one owner, all original 1991 Stealth R/T Twin turbo featured here has only 14,800 actual miles and is an exceptional and rare car. The engine is a twin turbocharged 3.0-liter DOHC 24-valve V6 with electronic fuel injection, aluminum heads and roller rockers that's good for 296 horsepower and 306 lb./ft. of torque. A standard 5-speed Getrag manual transmission feeds a full-time all-wheel-drive system with a 45 front, 55 rear split. A driver selected dual-mode Exhaust system opens up the mufflers for more power at high engine speeds, giving the car an aggressive bark. A driver selected variable rate four wheel independent suspension does an excellent job tightening apexes or loosening tension depending on where the sport/touring selector is placed. And stopping comes courtesy of four piston calipers all around with 16 inch rotors up front and 15 inch rotors in the rear. Factory alloy 17 inch wheels are in excellent shape and still wear the cars original 245/45/17 Goodyear Eagle radials. The red cloth interior features a six-way power driver's seat and a wrap around dash. Inside the dash you'll find automated climate control, an AM/FM radio with cassette player and a CD player. Coming standard with that CD player is a factory 100 watt amplifier and 6 speaker sound system that features two tweeters and two six inch speakers in the doors and two six by nine speakers in the rear. Standard and optional equipment includes: power windows, power locks, intermittent front and rear wipers, heated remote power outside mirrors, cruise control, a tilt column, a leather wrapped steering wheel with integrated audio controls, a rear defroster, a driver's side airbag and amber lit full gauges. This is a true collector grade car that can be driven and enjoyed for years, while you watch its value climb.

A Chinese woman who claimed she had been treated roughly by a bullying police officer had to apologise when these snaps of the incident showing she was the aggressor were uploaded on the internet.
Niu Tuan, 35, spotted the traffic policeman Zhang Mingtong, 43, giving her a ticket when she returned to her illegally parked car in Zijing Road located in Jinmao District of Haikou City in southern China's Hainan Province.
According to the eye witness who gave police a copy of the photos as well as uploaded them onto the internet, the woman had claimed she had only been parked for a minute, and demanded furiously that the officer tear up the ticket. When he refused, she flew into a rage.
The man's colleagues Ou Yinglin, 43, had called for reinforcements and the woman had complained to them that she had been attacked by the officers, even though it was the policeman who ended up being hospitalised for his injuries. The woman, meanwhile, was without a scratch. She was taken to the police station by Ou Yinglin and colleagues, where she initially said she wanted to make a complaint for assault.
The second officer Yinglin said: "She slapped Zhang in the face knocking off his hat, and then she punched and scratched him and was screaming all the time that he was attacking her. She was pretty hysterical and I am not quite so sure why she decided to just fly off the handle, but my poor colleague who wouldn't hurt a fly was pretty traumatised. He had to go to hospital and is still off work while she was left without a scratch. It was good that somebody managed to take a few snaps because it proved who was the aggressor, I hate to think what would have happened to Zhang if it had just been her word against his."
At the police station, when she was confronted with the images, she broke down in tears and admitted that she had been in the wrong, saying that she had been under stress when she saw him giving her a ticket.
Yinglin added: "My colleague wasn't feeling too well that day anyway, but had volunteered to come in anyway. Now I can guarantee he feels a lot worse and I doubt we will see him for a few weeks. It's ironic, because he really is the gentlest person I know, and would never hurt a woman."

and two gore-free entries,
The Exorcist
Rosemary's Baby
Presuming that
is really as similar in concept to
From Dusk to Dawn
as its description implies (substituting cannibals for vampires), we think
has a hard road ahead of it.
From Dusk to Dawn
not only had top-flight screenwriting and direction, but its cast was headed by George Clooney, Juliette Lewis, Harvey Keitel, Cheech Marin, Salma Hayek and Tarantino himself. However, as Craven himself
proved in
A Nightmare on Elm Street
, a big-name cast is not essential in a hit scary flick.
Based on prior history,
will face larger critical obstacles simply because it is a
Project Greenlight
production. Both the first
Project Greenlight
Stolen Summer
, written and directed by Pete Jones, and the second,
The Battle of Shaker Heights
, written by Erica Beeney and directed by Efram Potelle and Kyle Rankin, received a number of positive critical reviews -- but the negative portrayal of the film and the filmmakers in the
Project Greenlight
shows created a
negative buzz
for the films that could not be overcome.
As a result,
Stolen Summer
, despite a positive review from
Roger Ebert
, did only $134,736 at the box-office, and
The Battle of Shaker Heights
, despite the presence of Shia LeBoeuf (
), was only slightly better at $280,351. In one sense, we find it extremely ironic that Ben Affleck, one of the producers -- who have been edited to be the "heroes" of the series (also including Damon and the humongous Chris Moore) -- fell victim to the same kind of media hysteria against his movie
that his show generated against the
Project Greenlight
For those interested in getting more of a perspective on the
Project Greenlight
process, we highly recommend
the second-season DVD
, which covers the making of the film
The Battle for Shaker Heights
. We only wish that the filming had continued into the editing process, so that we could see how much of the finished film is the vision of the directors (who were trying to make a drama with comedic elements) and how much is the vision of the the producers (who wanted more of a comedy), especially Mr. Moore, who was characterized by one online commentator as an "obese Darth Vader" presiding over a "pure scam" of a process "designed to humiliate" the novice filmmakers. If that was indeed Mr. Moore's intent, he succeeds brilliantly.
