I was thinking about the following problem:
Let $f$ be analytic on $D=\{z \in \mathbb C: |z|<1\}$ and $f(0)=0.$ Define $g(z)=f(z)/z;z \neq 0$ and $g(z)=f'(0);z=0.$ Then which of the following options are true:
(a)$ g$ is discontinuous at $z=0$
(b)$g$ is continuous but not analytic at $z=0$ for all $f$
(c)$g$ is analytic at $z=0$ for all $f$
(d)$g$ is analytic at $z=0$ only if $f'(0)=0$.
My attempts: Clearly $g$ is continuous at $z=0$, since we see that $\lim_{z\to\ 0}g(z) =\lim_{z\to\ 0} f(z)/z=\lim_{z\to\ 0}f'(z)$[by L'hospital's rule as $0/0$ form]=$f'(0)=g(0).$ But here i know that i have to use Schwarz lemma but i could not use it effectively enough to make other conclusion about the other options.
Also i see that
$f$ is analytic in some neighbourhood of $0$, so i can write it as a power series in $z.$ that is $f(z)=a_0+a_1(z)+a_2(z^2)+..... $and so $g(z)=f(z)/z=a_0/z+a_1+a_2(z)+...$but now i lost the track, as see if i take $f'(0)=g(0)=0$ ,then $g'(0)={g(z)-g(0)}/(z-0)=a_0/z^2+a_1/z+a_2+...$ which clearly does not exist at $z=0$ even if we take $f'(0)=0.$ Am i going in the right direction? I need help about options $(b),(c),(d).$Thanks in advance for your time.

Toyota launches the new Toyota GT86 TRD, the first official upgrade of the GT86 performed by Toyota Racing Development and featuring genuine TRD parts. The car will initially be available on the British market only at a price of £ 31,495 (about 37,000 €) for the 'basic' version with a six-speed manual transmission, while those who want to opt for the automatic transmission will have to add another £ 1,500 on the top of that. The GT86 TRD will come with some aesthetic enhancement as well, but there will be just two color options for the livery: Pearl White ed il GT86 Black.
The front end will make use of a new and pretty aggressive bumper with a wide central mouth surrounded by a particular black finish that will surely provide for the right cooling of the engine. The rear section received a newly designed bumper too which hosts both reverse and rear fog lights and incorporate a small diffuser and four large tailpipes.
The Toyota GT86 TRD package also provides for a set of 18-inch cast TF6 alloy wheels, deep front and side skirts as well as branded radiator cap and fuel filler cover, which will complete the 'standard' equipment that includes - among other things - HID headlamps, front fog lamps, limited slip differential, Smart Entry and Start, dual-zone climate control, analogue dials and meters, drilled aluminium pedals, sports seats, scuff plates, cruise control and the Toyota Touch multimedia system.
Toyota did not perform any mechanical change to the 2.0-liter boxer engine of the car, meaning that performance figures are basically those of the 'regular' GT86: 7.7 seconds to cover the 0-100 km/h (62 mph) and maximum speed of and 225 km/h (140 mph) for the version with manual gearbox, 8.4 seconds and 210 km/h (130 mph) for the one with the automatic transmission. There are slight changes in fuel consumption and emissions: 192g/km and 34.9 mpg for the manual and 181g/km and 36.2 mpg for the automatic (all figures official combined cycle). Surely it is not as impressive as the recent 400 hp Toyota GT 86 GT4, but we are pretty sure that the British fans will make disappear the 250 units of this GT86 TRD series pretty soon.

Sorry to say it, but Erick Erickson sounds like a whiny liberal in this piece here:
If money is the root of all evil, for the Republican Party evil is located on the fifth floor of 66 Canal Center Plaza, Alexandria, VA 22314.
Strip away the candidate and coalition and it is on the fifth floor of 66 Canal Center Plaza where the seeds of Mitt Romney's ruin and the RNC's get out the vote (GOTV) effort collapsed — bled to death by charlatan consultants making millions off the party, its donors, and the grassroots.
66 Canal Center Plaza is also why Jeff Larson, the Chief of Staff of the Republican National Committee, should not be put in charge of the autopsy of the GOP's defeat. Multiple sources confirm to me that RNC Chairman Reince Priebus has already put Larson in charge of the so called autopsy.
This is like putting the fox in charge of the hen house. The fifth floor of 66 Canal Center Plaza reveals a tangled web of incestuous relationships among Republican consultants who have made millions all while the GOP went down the tubes. Here the top party consultants waged war with conservative activists and here they waged war with the Democrats. On both fronts, they raked in millions along the way with a more fractured, minority party in their wake. And they show no signs of recognizing just how much a part of the problem they are.

Since when is capitalism evil? When you don't get any of the money, that's when! Erick Erickson is a slander blogger, who slandered me and few other people in the past and rather unfairly, I might add. Mr. Erickson is just ticked off, because nobody called him during the 2008 or 2012 election to work on their campaigns. This is why this little slander piece was written.
Also too, Erick Erickson is a blogger, who started RedState in his basement and when he could not afford the huge hosting bill anymore, he called on Eagle Publishing for a bailout, and they rescued his "too big to fail" blogging service. Some Conservative eh?

View at publisher
This study describes the structure and function of pox neuro (poxn), a gene previously isolated by virtue of a conserved domain, the paired box, which it shares with the segmentation genes paired and gooseberry. Its expression pattern has been analyzed, particularly during development of the PNS. We propose that poxn is a "neuroblast identity" gene acting in both the PNS and the CNS on the basis of the following evidence. Its expression is restricted to four neuronal precursors in each hemisegment: two neuronal stem cells (neuroblasts) in the CNS, and two sensory mother cells (SMCs) in the PNS. The SMCs that express poxn produce the poly-innervated external sense organs of the larva. In poxn- embryos, poly-innervated sense organs are transformed into mono-innervated. Conversely, ectopic expression of poxn in embryos transformed with a heat-inducible poxn gene can switch mono-innervated to poly-innervated sense organs. Expression of poxn in the wing disc is restricted to the SMCs of the poly-innervated sense organs, suggesting that poxn also determines the lineage of poly-innervated adult sense organs.

I bought the Arcane Heroes box today. It's part of the new "Player's Handbook Heroes" collections of miniatures.
The boxes each contain three miniatures. I had a look at the other boxes in the store. I'll cut right to the chase and lay it on you: they don't look nice. They're also pricy, $11 for three shoddy looking miniatures?
Knowing all this I still went ahead and bought them. Why? Because I badly want a miniature that looks right for my character. Ideally, it should be the correct race and class and look cool. A small number of the miniatures did look good, I'll admit, so maybe you'll have luck with "your character". Odds are you won't. My quest for decent player character miniatures continues!
I was looking forward to these miniatures and I got disappointed. They could have been great. My recommendation is to use your money on something else.
Update: The paint job and price has been improved in series 3!

TUSCALOOSA, Ala. - The excitement which has been building through the summer and the first days of school bubbled over early this morning for the Alabama softball team. This afternoon at 2:30 p.m. the Crimson Tide took the field at Rhoads Stadium for the first official practice of the season.
"It was all they talked about during weights, the chance to get out on the field as a team," UA head coach Patrick Murphysaid. "This is the time when we'll put in our offensive and defensive schemes and start to build the team we'll be when spring comes around. During the off season, when we're limited to individual workouts, we really focus in on the offensive side of things. Now that we're into our regular practices and 20 hours a week, we'll work both sides."
Today's practice was the first time that the 18 players that make up the 2013-14 squad have gathered together with the coaches and staff for a full practice. This year's squad finds its roster balanced between youth and experience with five freshmen to go with an equal number of seniors with the other eight split between the sophomore and junior classes.
"The fall is a time for the team to integrate the rookies with the veterans," Murphy said. "It's also a chance for us to experiment with different lineups and see folks at different position and figure out who goes best where."
During the Tide's fall slate of practices there will a trio of Fall Brawls during which Alabama will play doubleheaders on three consecutive Sundays against Northwest Florida State College, Middle Tennessee State and West Alabama, all slated for the month of October.
"The play dates are for our fans to come out and meet the new kids and get an idea of what this year's Crimson Tide is going to look like," Murphy said.

TULSA (AP) — The Tulsa-based John Hope Franklin Center for Reconciliation will host its fourth community dinner to honor the life and legacy of local historian Dr. John Hope Franklin.
The Dinner of Reconciliation is Nov. 21 at the Greenwood Cultural Center.
The featured speaker will be author and consultant Clifton Taulbert, who has served as a guest professor at Harvard University and whose work focuses on community healing.
John Hope Franklin was a pioneering scholar of American history and African-American studies who worked on the landmark U.S. Supreme Court case that outlawed public school segregation.
Franklin — whose father's law office was burned in the Tulsa race riots of 1921 — died in 2009 at age 94.

Somehow, I feel that my time has been in a bit of a whirlwind since January and I've not done things that I really should have. One is to tell you that I've now started to carry a few Megan Nielsen's sewing patterns in the shop. These are rather sweet patterns and I've started to see several versions pop up all over the blogospheres and am now happy to report that I've made myself a Banksia blouse from one.
Let's see, where to start. I've been working on a wrap dress (more on that later) that I'm drafting myself. It's my first ever full draft of a dress and I'm actually rather impressed with myself, but its been a bit of a big job and I needed a distraction of sorts and found that this pattern only had 5 pattern pieces. I like it when you can make something from a small amount of pattern pieces. I whipped this number out in a day, which I found amazing because normally I tend to allow projects to sit for a day or two on things like hemming and the like (I hate hemming, because then it means the project is usually over).
I altered the pattern with my sloper (this is becoming a rather invaluable tool) and then proceeded to cut it out in this strawberry coloured linen which as you can only guess is from Yellow Bird Fabrics (have I mentioned that I really do love this store?). It stitched up really quickly! I was a little shaky when it came to the placket, but the directions were quite spot on and I found the insertion quite easy to do. The buttons were from the stash and if I do say so myself, their oversized size makes for a rather Anthropologie-esque feel. Kinda cute right?
I misjudged the length for this thing – something I've fixed for a future round, but I'm happy to report that adding a band of fabric to the bottom for increased length only means that I'm resourceful rather than dismayed that I didn't get every single thing perfectly right. Right?
I'm pretty happy with the finished result – I think I'll be more happy with a pair of black cotton sateen clovers to go with it. That'll be the icing the on the cake I'm quite sure. Easy pattern=sweet blouse! And because I promised to give you a resource list, here you go:
Banksia Blouse pattern – similar fabric
I don't know about you, but I'm aching for a strawberry smoothie just about now…

Los Angeles, with its Sunbelt location, offers many advantages; however, a disadvantage of our sunny clime is an increased risk of skin cancer, including deadly melanomas. On February 13, UCLA researchers published a study in The New England Journal of Medicine that reported on their progress regarding reducing the spread (metastasis) of melanomas.
A long-term research project was begun in 2001 by researchers at UCLA's Jonsson Comprehensive Cancer Center. The study involved lymphatic mapping and sentinel-node biopsy, techniques that could detect the early metastasis of melanoma; to evaluate the success of the project, the subjects underwent 10 years of follow-up. (A sentinel node is a lymph node that is likely to contain cancerous cells at an early stage of metastasis.) They found that, compared to the traditional "watchful waiting" approach, their treatment protocol significantly increased the patients' disease-free and melanoma-specific survival. The study authors noted that their findings offer a new standard for detecting melanoma metastasis to the lymph nodes because it allows physicians to quickly determine which patients actually have metastasis (approximately 20% in the study group). Thus, these patients may benefit from having their non-sentinel lymph nodes removed, while avoiding the surgery and its possible complications, as well as significant cost, for the many patients who probably will not benefit from surgery (approximately 80% of patients).
One of the significant findings of the study was that the thickness of the initial melanoma tumor correlated to the effectiveness of these treatments in managing metastases to lymph nodes and other areas. If patients with primary melanoma tumors of intermediate thickness (1.20 to 3.5 millimeters thick) undergo sentinel-node biopsies and then have immediate complete removal of the lymph nodes if the sentinel node contained cancer cells, they had an overall disease-free survival of 71.3% compared with 64.7% for those whose nodes were observed without sentinel biopsy. In addition, the investigators found that this group with cancer cells in their sentinel nodes had prolonged distant disease-free survival (survival without disease spread to distant organs such as the brain, lungs, or liver) and melanoma-specific survival (survival without development of additional metastases).
At their initial diagnosis, approximately 20% of melanoma patients have disease spread to nearby (regional) lymph nodes. Traditional treatment for these patients was surgical removal of the primary tumor and a rim of surrounding normal tissue; subsequently, the patients underwent a period of lymph node observation. If signs of cancer spread to the lymph nodes was found, the nodes were surgically removed. This spared 80% of the patients from unnecessary surgery; however, it was possibly too late to prevent the spread of the cancer in the 20% who had metastasis. An alternative treatment was to remove all patients' lymph nodes, with the rationale that every patient was potentially at risk of metastasis.
Study leader Dr. Donald L. Morton and colleagues searched for and eventually perfected a method to specifically identify the 20% of patients whose tumors had already spread to the lymph nodes. Before cancer cells spread to the lymph nodes, they travel through the lymphatic system, first entering the lymph node most directly connected to the tumor (the sentinel lymph node). A combination of blue dye and radioactive tracer is injected into the tissues surrounding the primary tumor; this locates the lymphatic channels that lead to the first tumor-draining lymph node. The mixture follows the same lymphatic path used by the melanoma cells to spread to the sentinel node. The sentinel node is removed and microscopically evaluated in detail; the process allows detection of even a single melanoma cell. If tumor cells are not found in the sentinel node it is extremely unlikely that tumor will be present in other non-sentinel nodes; thus, further nodal surgery is deemed unnecessary. If cancer cells are present in the sentinel node, all the other lymph nodes in the nodal group are immediately removed.
The study authors note that their results confirm that for patients with intermediate thickness melanomas, early sentinel node biopsy reduces the risk of cancer recurring in the lymph nodes, and decreases the patients' risk of dying from the disease. Some patients with thick primary tumors benefit from having their lymph nodes removed; however, the study findings suggest that the timing of the intervention is not as crucial for them as it is for patients with intermediate thickness primary tumors. The study group did not contain enough patients with thin melanomas to allow conclusions regarding their benefit from the technique. The researchers note that this group of patients will be a focus of a future study.

When the year began, most New Yorkers yearned for the day when the Nets-Knicks rivalry would truly encapsulate the city. With the regular season approaching its close and the Knicks scratching to just reach the playoffs, the Nets find their stiffest competition north of the border. And both teams know it.
The Nets outlasted the Atlantic division rival Toronto Raptors, 101-97, in front of a raucous Barclays Center crowd Monday night. Paul Pierce's three-pointer with 1:14 left broke a 94-94 tie and sent the crowd into a frenzy.
The Nets atoned for their late gaffe in the two teams' last meeting and split the season series at two games apiece. The Raptors never landed on the Nets' radar prior to the season with all the New York chest puffing, but the two teams have built a contentious rivalry.
Deron Williams and Kyle Lowry embodied the venom with their testy matchup. These two teams do not like each other, and how great would that make a first-round matchup?
The Raptors maintain a three-game advantage over the Nets with 20 games to play. If the Chicago Bulls amass a better record than both of these teams, the Nets will play the Raptors in the first round barring an epic collapse on either side.
"It was a huge game knowing we can still win the division and move up a seed," Pierce said. "You never know, this could be a team that we play in the first round."
Both teams certainly displayed the moxie necessary to sustain a winning program. The Raptors and Nets each led by double-digits at different points in the game, and every time the opponent answered the blow with a counterpunch. The Nets fell behind by 12 points in the first quarter only to storm ahead by 13 midway through the third. The final score came right down to the final possessions.
Note to the players: Seven more of those, please.
"It would be great," said Shaun Livingston, referring to a future matchup. "Obviously, our home crowd was into the game tonight; that's what we needed, going into the playoffs, you want your home crowd behind you and they showed up tonight."
"This was a taste of what it could be like in the future," Raptors swingman John Salmons said.
The arena featured all the pomp and circumstance one would expect from a playoff atmosphere. Not only did the players deliver, but so too did the crowd. The Nets acknowledged post-game that a loss essentially would have clinched the division for the surging Raptors.
"That's the (playoff) atmosphere, right there," reserve guard Alan Anderson said. "I'm sure it's going to be a little more intense, but it would be fun (to see Toronto again)."
The Nets flipped the script, despite missing Kevin Garnett and Andrei Kirilenko. Garnett emerged as a late scratch after head coach Jason Kidd initially penciled him into the starting lineup. Kirilenko tweaked his ankle in the win over the Sacramento Kings, and his prognosis remains day-to-day.
Despite leaving the Kings win with a shoulder injury, Pierce assured his coach that he would not miss the must-win game.
"I knew the implications of this game," Pierce said. "This was one of our biggest games of the year, division rival, a lot on the line, so you can always pen me in in those kinds of games."
The Nets received unexpected contributions in the win. Mason Plumlee started after Garnett went down in warmups, and Anderson tallied 11 points and three rebounds coming off the bench. Due to Marcus Thornton's emergence, Anderson lost a share of his minutes, but he made the most of his opportunity with Kirilenko injured.
With the way the Nets are currently playing, Anderson believes the team can win under a variety of situations come playoff time.
"It's always important, home-court advantage," Anderson said. "We have a very veteran group, a lot of guys who have been in the playoffs, a lot of guys who know what it takes, and a lot of guys who have won a lot. We want to get home-court advantage as much as possible, but if we don't we're confident enough to go win away."
The Nets will test their playoff mettle once again Wednesday night with a road contest against the Miami Heat. The Nets won the previous two meetings this year against the defending champions.

Norberto "Norbing" Cacho, 51, has changed for the better and he attributes this change to his seaweed.
Norbing happily shared that seaweed farming helped him stop his drinking vices. "I realized after the trainings that my vices take a large portion from my income, and that is why I decided to stop. Now, I want to spend my income wisely," he said. From his first seaweed harvest, he was able to buy a pump boat, which makes it easy for him to fish and tend his seaweed.
Norbing's three children have already finished high school, and he hoped to use the money he earned from seaweed farming to send them to college. But Typhoon Washi destroyed his farm, and now his children's studies are uncertain.
Your gifts to Lutheran World Relief will help Norbing and others to recover their seaweed farms and get back on their feet. Please give generously.

Grizz glared at Wolf. xD
"I'm not self centered... And I'm not an idiot." Kevin defended. He then asked, "Sent to hunt me down? By who? Why? What does that even mean?"
"Not self centered? You wanted our girl to call you
Your Majesty
. You called yourself royalty." Crow took out a pistol and put it up to Kevin's head. "It means we were hired to kill you. The other two things, I can't tell you. That's for us to know."
Kevin swallowed hard and shuffled back as much as he could. "W-What? Kill me? You're... bluffing. This is some kind of sick twisted fantasy of yours, right, Trixie's. Trix, it's going to far, I'm not that k*nky, make them stop."
Fox took a picture on his cellphone of the gun being held to Kevin's head, careful to leave Crow's face out of the picture, so he could send it to the Ellingson family. "This is not a fantasy, Mr. Ellingson. This is real. There's a good chance you're going to die today."
Kevin's started hyperventilating. "WHAT? No, no... no, no, no... you're lying... you... don't... please, please don't kill me. Please... whatever I did to make the person who sent you unhappy, I'm so sorry... I'm sorry for whatever I did... please, ask your employer if you can let me go... if this is about money... I can pay... I can pay anything you want from me... I don't want to die... please...." By this time, he was also crying.
"Boo f*cking hoo." Grizz said. "Someone went from h'orny, confident, self centered @sshole to a scared, whiny little p*ssy."
"I'm going to send this picture to their cell phones." Fox said. "Somebody call his family and ask for the money."
"So this IS about money?" Kevin mumbled.
"No. The money is a bonus." Crow said, pistol whipping Kevin across the face. "This is about punishment."
An instant red mark appeared across his cheek, and Kevin could taste the blood filing his mouth. He reached in and found that Crow had hit him so hard that Kevin had lost not just one tooth, but two of his bottom molars had come out. He pulled one of them out easily and shuddered. He went for the second, but found it was just barely hanging on enough that he had to really yank at it. And it stung. He cried out, "Please, let me go. Whatever your employer is paying, I'll pay double. I'll pay triple if I have to."
"Ooh," Grizz thought aloud, "He plays guitar, let's cut off one of his fingers and send it to his sister."
"No, no, no. Don't do that. It'll horrify her, and I like my fingers." Kevin mumbled.
By this time, the 4 hour time span had passed and Kevin still wasn't back. Natalie had gone to visit, but they told her that he had gone out this morning and hadn't yet returned.
"He must've lost track of time. I'll go out looking for him." Natalie said and then started searching. One of the first places she went to was Torie's place. She knocked on the door.

College Hockey:Alban Scores Empty-Netter Against Ferris
Michigan State's Chad Alban became just the fourth netminder in collegiate history to tally a goal Saturday night, scoring into an empty net in the Spartans' 6-3 win over Ferris State.
On the play, Alban collected the puck in the corner to the right of Michigan State's goal and fired a 180-foot shot which bounded into left half of the Bulldog net at 19:47 of the third period.
Alban is believed to be just the second college netminder to score off a deliberate try, and the first to do so in an NCAA contest. The other, Maine's Jim Tortorella, shot a puck against Vasby of Sweden in 1980 which was mishandled by the Vasby keeper for a goal.
Michigan Tech's Damian Rhodes (1989) and Vermont's Andrew Allen (earlier this season) have also been credited with goals — Rhodes as the last MTU player to touch the puck before a Colorado College player put it into his own goal, and Allen on a tip of a Harvard pass from behind the Vermont net which then sailed all the way down-ice.
Saturday night, Alban also had the single assist on Michigan State's third goal. The senior netminder now has one goal and nine assists in his four-year career.

Determining basic probability assignment (BPA) is essential in multisensor data fusion by using Fussy Theory or Dempster-Shafer Theory (DST). The study presented a method to determine BPA through sensor data only reported by sensors without depending on preset information data modeled prior to actual events. This was used to determine BPA for multi-sensor data fusion so that a pedestrian, who walked or moved, could recognize a moving object. The method resulted from the study was to evaluate the changes of each sensor measurement as time passed. Each BPA of each focal element was normalized to evaluate the aspects of the changes by time and to meet the basic characteristics of BPA in DST. That is, BPA of each focal element after evaluating sensor data was ranged between 0 and 1, and the total amount of all focal elements was 1. The study showed that a pedestrian could recognize a moving object with the method of determining BPA through multi-sensor data fusion conducted in the study.
1. Introduction
Extracting meaningful and advanced information from fragmentary information acquired by many basic information sources became possible through multi-sensor data fusion. Multi-sensor data fusion has been applied in flights, space, robots, image processing, geographic information, biometric identification, and so forth. Fussy Theory and Dempster-Shafer Theory (DST) are used for multi-sensor fusion data. These theories provide a way to express the uncertain and obscure real world with mathematical logic. Today, ubiquitous sensor network has drawn much attention, and research on recognizing contexts and inducing the causes of those by multi-sensor data fusion after constructing network with heterogeneous multi-sensors to acquire better context information is actively progressed. Basic probability assignment (BPA) plays a key role when Fuzzy Theory and DST are used in multi-sensor data fusion. The process of multi-sensor data fusion based on DST depends on BPA, and therefore, data fusion and context induction are difficult to process without BPA. BPA is otherwise called mass function and does not refer to probability itself. It is a base to express stochastically whether each hypothesis that is called "focal element" in Evidence Theory is true or not or what the degrees of uncertainty are. Each focal element or the belief of a hypothesis and plausibility and uncertainty could be calculated by BPA. The study presented a method to determine BPA in the context to recognize a moving object. Context awareness from multi-sensors is widely used by modeling data acquired prior to events. However, it is difficult, if not impossible, to have all information for all contexts prior to events in the real world. So, a method to determine BPA is necessary for context awareness by sensor data acquired at a certain site without prior information. Therefore, the purpose of this study was that a moving observer would recognize a moving object only by sensor data without any prior information of the environments.
Most of the studies on acquiring information of moving objects in the real world estimated the locations of moving objects. An observer and sensors and equipment to measure moving objects stayed in fixed locations. These studies such as a smart walk system, provided mostly with routes guidance or geographic features, focused on static information. However, a pedestrian walking or a small vehicle running at low speed needs information of moving objects such as electric cars for one driver, motorcycles, and bicycles in the environments as well as static information of geographic features and transportation. Studies on acquiring and using information of moving objects sharing roads or encountering each other as well as static environments such as stairs and bumps are important for the safety of a pedestrian and a person in a small vehicle, not to collide or contact. High-performance sensors and radars to get and use advanced information are available for expensive cars but are not so for pedestrians and small vehicles with low-speed capacity. Multi-sensor data fusion by DST would provide valuable results, acquiring advanced information of moving objects from the combination of low-priced sensors. The method to determine BPA as a key aspect in this context would be widely useful.
The study consisted of the following. Related studies were analyzed in Section 2, and a new way of BPA determination was introduced in Section 3. Experiments and evaluation were shown in Section 4, and a conclusion was drawn in Section 5.
2. Related Research
Dempster-Shafer Evidence Theory and Basic Probability Assignment.
Dempster-Shafer Theory (DST) is a theory to calculate the basic probability assignment (BPA), when the independent BPA has been defined. Provided that is defined as a universal set, which consists of the exclusive propositions and is the power set of , incorporating all the possible combinations of the propositions, could have the four features, as follows:
Each sensor will contribute its observation by assigning its beliefs over . This assignment is called the "basic probability assignment" of the sensor , denoted by . According to sensor 's observation, the probability that is indicated by a "confidence interval" is [, ].
The lower bound of the confidence interval is the belief confidence which accounts for all evidence :
The upper bound of the confidence interval is the plausibility confidence, which accounts for all the observations that do not rule out the given proposition:
For each possible proposition, DST gives a rule of combining sensor 's observation and sensor 's observation :
The difference describes the evidential interval range, which represents the uncertainty [1, 2].
2.1. Cases of BPA Determination
Bentabet and Jiang suggested a novel way to determine mass functions in DST. They applied it to the image segmentation with iterative Markovian estimation [3]. Ben Chaabane et al. and three other colleagues suggested a method for the estimation of mass functions in the DST. They applied it to color image segmentation [4]. Ali and Dutta suggested a way to determine BPA when the operators of minimum, maximum, and approximate values were recognized [5]. Jiang et al. showed a way to determine BPA with measuring a distance between subject properties and tested sample data [6]. Zuo et al. and two other colleagues introduced a method to determine BPA with rough set theory based on random set theory and BP neural networks [7]. Boudraa et al. showed a method to determine BPA with image segment used by the purge membership rating pixels from image histograms [8].
The weakness of the methods in these previous studies required a large amount of learning data. The subjects and results of data fusion were also limited to static aspects.
3. BPA Determination to Recognize Moving Objects
The method to determine BPA in the study was to acquire information of a moving object when an observer was moving and to be aware of relative contexts and relations between the moving observer and the moving object. That is to be aware of relative situations between moving objects on the road. The context awareness was usually determined by matching acquired sensor data with data modeling based on information saved prior to events, but the study is to supplement the cases of context awareness that the information from the real world goes beyond the range of preset data modeling.
A moving observer was equipped with three different sensors for processing multi-sensor data fusion by using DST after acquiring data from the sensors of a moving object encountering on the road. A new method to determine BPA in this case was presented. The process of multi-sensor data fusion based on DST is that the belief and plausibility of each focal element can be calculated after BPA of each focal element is determined, and situations can be induced from comparing the belief and uncertainty of each focal element after getting uncertainty of the difference between belief and plausibility. So, the correct evaluation of the sensor data perceived from moving objects should be reflected on BPA determination.
3.1. Measurement and Context Awareness
The study environment was dynamic as most of the world is. Time progress is considered in the dynamic situation, which is different from biometrics or geographic information based on image processing in the static situation. The sensor data are also measured values, scalar quantities, which do not have the components of vector. On the other hand, the study was to acquire directional context information of a moving object by analyzing the scalar quantity as combining sensor data and time progress.
3.2. Time Division and Average Rate of Change in Time Intervals
There is a particular case that absolute values of sensor measurements have important meanings, but an analysis of changing aspects is useful to acquire information. Changing patterns of the sensor measurements by time progress are evaluated, which is the calculation of the average rates of variations in time intervals. Fuzzy C-Means (FCM) algorithm is applied to calculate them. Each cluster defines its central point after acquired and saved data are clustered in K clusters in FCM. The data in the clusters are evaluated by calculating clusters' central points and Euclidean distance.
Clustering by sensor types existed naturally in the study. The rates of variations in fixed time intervals were calculated as the clusters' central points were done. However, each data was not evaluated by comparing average values, which were different from FCM. The study was focused on comparing the amounts of changes among previously measured values and those in the next time intervals. Increases and decreases in measured values by time intervals were meaningful results for the observer with the sensors.
An issue could be raised here that single sensor could observe faster and simpler than multi-sensors with sensor data fusion could to know approaching or going away from moving objects by sensor data evaluation of comparing the amounts of changes among previously measured values and those in the next time intervals. High-priced cars can be equipped with high performance sensors and radars and operated, but the study was focused on pedestrians and small and light weighted vehicles without expensive or heavy equipment. A single sensor has a limitation for context awareness. A sound sensor has difficulty in differentiating ambient background noise from moving object's sound. An ultrasonic sensor is good to measure the distance of moving object but makes errors for a moving object with low reflection. Infrared light sensor has high recognition rates for humans and animals with low sound wave reflection but the distance to recognize is relatively short. So, processing heterogeneous sensors' data by the multi-sensor data fusion could result in high recognition rates and advanced context information.
3.3. Evaluating Signal Variation Rates
The functional formulae of the sound, ultrasonic, and infrared light sensors were defined as the following. Sound function was , distance function measured by ultrasonic waves was , and short distance measurement function by using infrared light sensor was .
Variation rate in time intervals of a sound sensor was calculated as follows:
The variation rate of distance was fixed as 0, not to impact on risk factors because a moving object was going away if the measured distance value by distance measurement sensors was . The time from 1 to 30 seconds was measured per second as follows:
To have BPA, the variation rate, , of a slope by intervals of the sound measurement value, delta value, to elicit BPA determination based on the measurement values of a sound sensor from three types of sensors was defined as below.
Arctan () was expressed as from the sound delta value, . So, total delta absolute value regardless of negative or positive amount of a variation rate was divided by the total of delta value and multiplied by (/total time)2. The value was high as the rate of the sound increased as time went by. It was if and 0 if . The value was 0 to fix between if the sound decreased rapidly. This was because that BPA of each focal element should be in the range from 0 to 1. This is the way to calculate BPA based on variation rates by time intervals of measured values by a sound sensor. The same way is applied to calculate BPA based on variation rates by time intervals of measured values of distance from an ultrasonic sensor and those of distance from an infrared light sensor . The process of calculating BPA using and is the same as that of calculating BPA using the sound value, . So, BPA can be calculated based on the variation rates of distance measured and reported by ultrasonic waves as the following:
BPA can be calculated based on the variation rates of distance measured by an infrared light sensor as well. Consider
The measured value of distance reported by ultrasonic and infrared light sensors was 0 if and if . The value was 0, meaning going away as the distance increased. Each BPA of a sound sensor and that of an ultrasonic sensor are added if both variation rates from a sound sensor and an ultrasonic sensor should be considered. Each BPA based on variation rates from an ultrasonic sensor and that of an infrared light sensor are added if the ultrasonic sensor and the infrared light sensor generate consecutive events, and a sound sensor does not.
The variation patterns of sensor values gave a base to evaluate the relations with situations. The results from recognizing and evaluating change patterns of sensor values were reflected on BPA determination for multi-sensor data fusion by using DST.
4. Experiment and Evaluation
4.1. Experiment
Multi-sensor data fusion using the method to determine BPA resulted in Section 3 was applied and investigated if a moving object would be a risk factor to the moving observer in this chapter. Cars, motorcycles, bicycles, electric cars, wheelchairs, pedestrians, and so on could be considered as moving objects on the real road. Cars and two wheeled motor vehicles with internal combustions using fossil fuel make big noise and run at high speed. Electric cars, wheelchairs, and pedestrians make relatively less noise and run at low speed.
The experiment in this chapter was that a pedestrian, the moving observer, recognized the moving object to avoid collision or contact possibilities on the road. Sensors Used: Sound Sensor, Ultrasonic Sensor, and Infrared Light Sensor Sensors' specification Sound Sensor-Sensitivity: −403 dB Impedance: Max 2.2x Directivity: Omnidirectional Ultrasonic Sensor-Detectable range (m): 0.03–6 m Nominal Frequency: 40 Hz Resolution [mm]: ±3 mm Infrared Light Sensor-Field of view: 138° Operating Voltage: 3~10 V DC O/S: TinyOS 2.0
Experiment Specification. A sound sensor reported the sound made by the moving object. Then, the sensor reported the changes of the sounds additionally to detect if the moving object was approaching to or going away from the moving observer. An ultrasonic sensor began to operate and reported if the moving object was approaching when the sound sensor found and reported the moving object. The ultrasonic sensor detected and reported if the moving object was approaching or going away in regular time intervals. To supplement the operation of ultrasonic sensor detection capability, infrared light sensor was operated additionally in close distance of the moving object.
The change patterns of reported values had meanings to show the changes of gradual increases or decreases. The purpose was to detect the moving object that was approaching or going away from the moving observer by using the sensor system. Evaluating the signals detected and reported was possible by continuously comparing the differences between the sensing values in time progress.
Time indicated the moment of the detection in Table 1. That is, 1 was the first detection and 2 was the second detection. The loudness of the sound in dB detected by an ultrasonic sensor was recorded. Distance 1 was the distance measured by an ultrasonic sensor, and Distance 2 recorded was the distance measured by an infrared light sensor.
The experiment was to verify if reason deduction using multi-sensor data fusion could determine whether or not moving objects around pedestrians were risk factors. This was to see if the sound, ultrasonic, and infrared light sensors together could detect and report events related to the pedestrians' safety from the emerging, moving, or approaching objects in pedestrians' path. The sound sensor detected moving objects with noise and then determined whether they approached or went away by sensing the changes in the loudness of the noise. The variation rates of the loudness of the noise in each interval were bases for calculating the BPA. Acquired signals were calculated by the variation rates. The change patterns were evaluated, and the degrees of the moving object's approach were displayed in Figure 1.
In Table 2, BPA in each focal element was calculated, using the way presented in the study, after the average variation rates in each focal element between and were evaluated. The values of belief and uncertainty in each focal element using BPA were presented. The belief and the uncertainty in each focal element were calculated by using multi-sensor data fusion based on DST. Table 2 shows that BPA could be calculated by using variation rates in time intervals and used for calculating belief and uncertainty in each focal element resulted from data fusion for context inference.
Table 3 presents belief values after calculating BPA in each focal element in the entire time intervals such as between and , and , and and .
The risk increased as the moving object was getting close, detected by the ultrasonic sensor. The signal detected and reported from the infrared light sensor also resulted in rapid increase of evaluating a risk. This result presented that the risk increased as the moving object approached when BPA was determined by evaluating and reflecting the variation rates of signal data reported from the sensors without prior information.
The study presents that BPA with evaluating variation rates of signals is to infer risk factors by calculating belief and uncertainty in each focal element. Final context inference is based on belief and uncertainty, but the changes of belief values alone were inferred in the study if the moving object was approaching or a risk factor because the belief values imply a hypothesis of having focal element or a probability of definite occurrences of events.
4.2. Evaluation
The BPA calculation method aimed to apply to a smart cane for the blind. The support systems to walk for the blind were mainly developed to detect static factors such as stairs, roads, and barriers so far. The BPA calculation method presented in the study was to detect actual dangers from risk activities and approaches of moving objects for supporting individuals with visual disability to walk outside. The support system to walk for people with visual disability using this BPA calculation method could be examined in two types.
Evaluation 1: Comparing Existing and Present Systems. Table 4 includes the comparison results among the prior support systems and products to walk and the present system using BPA calculation method for the blind. The systems are divided into two types, Electronic Travel Aids (ETA) and Robotic Travel Aids (RTA). Guido, Care-O-Bot, Nursebot, PAWSS, Adaptive Walker, Robotic Walker, and S.J.L are examples of RTA, and L.L.L.S, Smart Wand, and A.S are the types of ETA. The evaluation items were designed to see; (a) if the systems recognized fixed barriers such as upward and downward stairs and projecting objects, (b) if they had functions to get away or to detour from detected barriers, (c) if they were aware of moving objects, and (d) if they detected pedestrians or big animals. Most of the RTA systems and the ETA systems using ultrasonic sensors detected and avoided barriers and had various additional features but did not recognize moving objects such as cars, two wheeled cars, and bicycles on the road. These systems did not notice people riding bicycles, running, or walking and big animals such as a dog either.
On the other hand, the support system to walk for the blind using multi-sensor data fusion based on the BPA calculation method presented in the study could recognize moving objects on the road and detect if the moving objects were threat noticed fixed barriers. The presented method also could recognize living bodies, which ultrasonic sensors could not detect easily.
Evaluation 2: Comparing Sensors' Components. Most of the existing ETA systems used only ultrasonic sensors or used them as main sensors. The study was to verify that using multi-sensors had more reliable results than using a single sensor when the supporting systems to walk for persons with visual disability detected contacts with moving objects and other pedestrians and risk factors on the road. As the results of the experiments displayed in Table 3, belief values detected and reported by single sensors separately, a sound sensor (), an ultrasonic sensor (), and an infrared light sensor (), were weak, not clearly defining changes to determine if the moving objects were threats. The approaches of the moving objects were not detected even when both a sound sensor () and an ultrasonic sensor () were used together. However, belief values of focal elements based on the events detected and reported by the sound () and infrared light () sensors together or the ultrasonic () and infrared light () sensors together showed noticeable change patterns.
These results shown as Table 5 indicated that it was difficult for the sound sensor alone to detect the approaches of the moving objects because the sound was blending with a background noise and bicycles and pedestrians did not make a significant sound. The ultrasonic sensor did not recognize clearly the objects with irregular surfaces that reflected inaccurately or the living bodies such as pedestrians and big animals that did not reflect on the road. The infrared light sensor alone did not detect well the moving objects that were far away or did not use an internal combustion engine generating a heat.
5. Conclusion
BPA determination played a key role in multi-sensor data fusion by using Fuzzy Theory and DST. The study provided a method to determine BPA for multi-sensor data fusion to recognize contexts of a moving observer and a moving object by evaluating sensor data without depending on information data modeled prior to actual events. The method was that the change of values measured by each sensor in time progress was evaluated and normalized to evaluate the meaning of those values. BPA of each focal element was between 0 and 1, and the BPA total amount of all focal elements was 1. The study showed that context awareness was possible based on the result that multi-sensor data fusion by using BPA determination was used to detect if the moving observer recognized the risk of a moving object with the sound, ultrasonic, and infrared light sensors. The future study is needed to interlink the context data set modeled with prior information in the sensor data fusion system.

There are interventions that are positive that have been put in place to aid in the constant battle of children with disorders. Whether, a child has been diagnosed with add, or adhd, etc., there should be a support team to render specialized assistance to each individual child, regardless of the type of disorder the child may exhibit. However, in order to form adequate groups of support, every entity enlisted should meet certain qualifications of characteristics, such as, one who acquires patience, and is equipped with the appropriate care to meet each individual child's special needs. Consequently, programs that are outlined in the local school districts should be thought of as practical involvement, therefore, the continuous interventions for children with disorders will entail the substantial training and involve parent or caregivers absolute participation with their communities of local jurisdictions.
On the contrary, children who are balanced and focused in the area of academics and extracurricular activities, whether school related or after school programs shall benefit tremendously. It is most rewarding to find people in our community endeavors who wish to work with families that want to make every effort to make a difference in their child's social lives that will oneday prepare him or her for the qualities of life in the future. One intervention that is soaring in some local cities are the many ''Mentoring and Leadership Programs" that are formed to help better the child's overall character and well being regarding the correlating programs that take on a genuine stance to develop boys and girls in their life long dreams and talents. Moreover, when a child who has disorders or one that does not wrestle with an infirmity realize their astute potentials, he or she can show forth the abilities within themselves being that of motivation and caring spirit about his or her family, friends, and expectations of overall goals set forth in life.
Nonetheless, children learn by being taught with support from those leadership teams that are already motivated and care about the welfare or well being of children of all walks of life and not just those who are sometimes often given a label in our growing societies. We as parents, leaders, teachers, caregivers, affiliate faith associations must help by reaching out to children who desire to reach his or her potential goals without sterotyping. And, every child should be given a chance to prove and earn the respect of being who he or she wishes to become, no matter what someone thinks of them, but based on the child's natural abilities and acquired skills.

Justin Bieber intervention time might be taking place in Panama. Usher and Scooter Braun have gone down there for a possible Justin Bieber intervention, all stemming from his recent arrest at Miami Beach. According to a report from Yahoo! on Sunday (Jan. 26), the trio is in Panama together now. Also spotted down there was Chantel Jeffries, a friend that was with him in the rented Lamborghini when he got arrested.
A lot of image repairing has to be done after the pop singer got arrested for drunken driving, resisting arrest, and driving without a valid license by Miami Beach police. That all took place on Thursday night (Jan. 23), leading to quite a bit of bad publicity for the singer and his entourage. Some big questions have emerged about the validity of the charges he could face in Florida, but that doesn't mean he isn't going to have to do some damage control.
While many people are calling this the Justin Bieber intervention down in Panama, the reality is that it could simply be a way for his handlers and supporters to get him back on track. Usher is no stranger to scandals of his own, so maybe he has some good advice for the rambunctious 19-year-old. That might include simply staying out of the public eye until the latest controversy can die down a bit. For now, though, the late night talk show hosts are all using it as new material.
