First setup in 1996, DJL Diving is a western owned dive shop on tropical Koh Tao island, Thailand. Originally based in the Mae Haad area of the island and then relocating to Sairee in 2006 where we have our own dive school bar & restaurant, swimming pool, Tech Diving office, classroom facilities along with our dive shop which is located on the beach road, often referred to as 'The Yellow Brick Road' right opposite the Silver Sands Resort.
We employ around 15 - 25 western diving staff (instructors and divemasters) depending on the time of year - these come from all over the world, but are mostly European, Australian and American. We also have 3 full time Platinum rated Course Directors.
Beyond that we have a number of local support staff to help things run smoothly, plus always have a great social group thanks to the customers and internships students joining us.
Our Dive Team is made up of very experienced instructors, some with up to 20 years teaching experience.
With this comes expertise in a wide range of diving activities. Our staff have experience teaching recreational diving, power boat handling, wreck and technical diving, compressor & boat maintenance, first aid & CPR, expedition planning . . . .
Most of our courses are conducted in English but we also currently have French, German, Danish and Spanish speaking instructors available. We are a registered PADI Career Development Centre(CDC) (S- 36338).
DJL Diving isn't a giant dive shop, but we are busy. We run two dive boats and we're confident that we can provide a great diving experience no matter what your level of diving certification, and train safe, competent divers.
Besides the recreational dive courses that we offer, DJL Diving has a strong focus towards deep technical diving and wreck exploration.
We're constantly running expeditions, seeking out new sunken wrecks and isolated pinnacles / coral reefs throughout Thailand. [Check out our Tech Blog here].
Dive Exploration is an important activity here at DJL - with dive expeditions there is always somthing new and exciting to discover. This is important for maintaining a dynamic, evolving environment in the dive shop.
As a Divemaster intern with DJL Diving you have the opportunity to get involved. If you're looking for excitement & adventure, this is the place!

One Night of Queen
Since winning Stars in Their Eyes in 2000 with a record 864,838 votes, Gary Mullen has toured the world with his breathtaking One Night of Queen. His uncanny vocal resemblance to the late Freddie Mercury has enthralled hundreds of thousands of people throughout the UK, USA, Europe, South Africa and New Zealand. His popularity is still sky high after all of these years.
One Night of Queen, performed by Gary Mullen and The Works is a spectacular live concert, recreating the look, sound, pomp and showmanship of arguably the greatest rock band of all time. Featuring hits such as I Want to Break Free, A Kind of Magic, We Will Rock You and – of course – Bohemian Rhapsody.
"Last night I would probably have believed that the band performing were the real Queen and that Mullen was the real Freddie Mercury if I had not been aware that he died in 1991." - The Press, Christchurch, New Zealand

UTM PersisitenceAsked by woodlandrlh on April 06, 2016 at 01:38 PM
I have hidden fields in my forms to capture utm tracking data. These fields work for the initial page but fail to persist from page to page.
For example, when a visitor clicks this link: http://www.countrytracts.com/property/cumberland-creeks-lot-20/?utm_source=google&utm_medium=display%20cpc&utm_term=tn%20land&utm_content=lot%2020&utm_campaign=cumberland%20creeks and they decide that's not the property for them. The then see at the bottom of the page a property that strikes their fancy and navigate to it via: http://www.countrytracts.com/property/cumberland-creeks-lot-40/ and fill out the corresponding JotForm, the original utm parameters do no fill out the hidden fields. However, if they were to fill out the original page's JotForm the hidden fields get populated appropriately.
How can I get the utm parameters to persist from page to page?
The problem is that you pass those parameters for the URL of the original page not the other ones. So to have those value passed to the hidden fields on other pages, their URL must also contains those parameters.
The URL for Lot #40 would become - http://www.countrytracts.com/property/cumberland-creeks-lot-40/?utm_source=google&utm_medium=display%20cpc&utm_term=tn%20land&utm_content=lot%2020&utm_campaign=cumberland%20creeks
Hope that solves your issue. Feel free to ask if more help is needed.

Greg Walden (R-Ore.) has been invited to visit Klamath Community College and meet with the college's president, Gerald Hamilton, and dean for administrative services, Renee Ferguson.
Due to the unexpectedly high number of veterans taking advantage of the new Post 9/11 GI Bill, the time it's taking to process some of the claims have put some schools and veterans in a short term financial bind. Rep Walden's office has been actively involved in resolving these slow payments. Veterans needing assistance can contact Rep. Walden's southern Oregon office at (541) 776-4646.

Good morning,
My grandmother has Alzheimer's disease. My family is planning to buy a Locator to have her controlled all day.
We are looking for information about locators, and the most famous and the best is the Keruve Locator (www.keruve.com). The company sells is from Spain and in the chat rooms, blogs, etc. there are many good opinions about it.
Has anyone heard about the Locator Keruve? Someone is using it?
Thank you very much,
Locator Keruve
Good morning,READ MORE
The main point to check with these locators is do they cover your area? Not all cover everywhere. They are getting better and it sounds like you've done your homework. I'd also love to hear if anyone on this site has had experience with this company.
CarolHi Maisai, This may be okay. I've never heard of the brand but it seems to check out on the web. Personally, for reasons of customer service, I'd rather contract with someone here in the states but that isn't always the only option, either. This depends on your love one keeping the bracelet on in order to be tracked so it needs to be hard to remove. You can see the other answers to your question below. Coverage is important. No contract is important. Reliability is important. You may want to check with the Better Business Bureau. Take care, Carol
You'll want to be sure the locator is supported in the area where you live. A "famous" one isn't going to help you if it doesn't work within your region. It wouldn't hurt to call your local police department (non-emergency line) and ask if they have recommendations for systems that work well in your area.
I have not used a GPS system, so I, too, will be interested in comments from others.
Take care,
I don't know anything first hand about this locator. It may be fine. But I'd contact your local Alzheimer's organzation for advice.
I'm not sure I'd to to a device monitored in Spain when there are many that are closer to home (if you live in the US). The main thing is you don't want to sign a long term contract, when you never know how long you'll need the device. Check with several companies and read the contracts carefully before you sign.
Dear Misasi,
My father has alzheimer and we bought a Keruve locator about 7 months ago, we live in Valencia, Spain. We are very satisfied with the product and the kind customer service. As I know, they sell worldwide. In Spain they offer a trial period of 15 days (with no cost, neither shipping cost). I think you should send an email to email@example.com and they will inform you and reply all your questions.
Paula RodriguezREAD MORE
Hi everyone.
I've been looking for information about the Locator Keruve and I send a e-mail to receive information and from Keruve says:
"Keruve direct locator consists of a GPS watch and a portable receiver that communicate directly. By just pressing the locate button, you can always know where he is. If you need to set out and look for him, take the receiver with you and you will receive its actual position and find him quickly. Keruve´s GPS watch has a safety lock that can only be open with a special tool by a member of the family. It has several positioning systems (GPS and T-OD-GSM. If one of them fails, automatically switches to the other, so it will never be inoperative. It is also water resistant(no buttons and is fully sealed).
The portable receiver communicates with the GPS watch unlimited distance. This is possible because they communicate directly through the mobile network. The Keruve direct locator will be sent to you with both GSM prepaid sim cards installed and preconfigured from us.
You have to insert credit as you do with your mobile. In this case, you have to insert credit on two simcards (the watch and the locator). If you send us prepaid sim cards, the only cost you will have is for each location done (comunication between watch and receiver) and for downloading maps from the city or country. Downloading is automatic, the receiver is configured to connect with our net server.
The only cost it will have is for each location done (communication between watch and receiver) or by downloading maps. If you send us prepaid sim cards, the only spend you will have is for each location done or when downloading maps. You will only need to download maps once, they are automatically store for future use.
The receiver is configured to connect with our net server and downloading is automatic from the country or city where is located. It will show the location of the person carrying the watch and it also gives the exact coordinates of the location you want to check it on google maps.
As you make locations, the charges are deducted from the credit available based on the per-minute rates from each simcards. Rates will vary depending on your local carrier's policies."
I hope this information will serve us everybody.
Regards,READ MOREI bought keruve in May (3 months ago) and it has not worked. The gps in the watch would shut off whenever and impossible to locate when it is off. I would like my money back but they promise to fix it. READ MORE
Did you ever buy a Keruve GPS watch and receiver? If so what did you think of it? Thank you for any help.READ MORE
Can this be purchased in the USA? And what is the cost? This seems like a product that would be wonderful for our family.
Thank you,

Box Score
ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. The Quaker baseball team dropped its season opener to host Eckerd College, 7-4, on Saturday afternoon at the Turley Athletic Complex.
The Tritons (3-9), already with 11 games under their belts coming into the weekend, received a strong pitching effort by starter Sam Reece, who went eight innings and allowed just two earned runs on six hits while striking out five.
Penn (0-1) got on the board first in the second inning after Ken-Ichi Hino drove in Tony Moses, who singled, on a fielder's choice.
Eckerd responded in the bottom of the frame after Mike Ferraina and Thomas O'Konski led off with singles. Ferraina scored on a groundout while O'Konski crossed the plate after an error by Hino that would have ended the inning.
The Quakers tied the game up in the third when Alex Nwaka scored on a groundout by Tim May.
The big inning for Eckerd came in the fifth against Penn starter Brian Cirri, as they scored three runs on four straight hits to take a 5-2 lead. The Tritons would tack two more runs on in the next two innings on RBI doubles by Jason Recore and Ferraina to go ahead, 7-2.
Meanwhile, Reece retired 12 straight Quaker hitters before Penn senior Sean Abate walked in the eighth inning, when the Quakers scored twice to cut the deficit to three runs. Abate scored on a throwing error by Eckerd catcher O'Konski and freshman Rajan Paty scored after coming in as a pinch runner and advancing to home on a wild pitch by Reece.
Eckerd's Michael Fallin allowed no runs on one hit in the ninth in relief of Reece to earn his first save of the season.
Cirri (0-1) allowed six runs, five earned, on eight hits with a strikeout and a walk for Penn. Freshman Jim Farrell had two hits while Nwaka added two stolen bases for the Quakers.
Grant Massie and Ferraina had two hits each for Eckerd.
The Quakers take on the Tritons again on Sunday, March 5, at 1 p.m.
The Quakers will play against Maine from March 9-11, but the teams will not play in West Palm Beach, Fla., as originally scheduled. Thursday's game will be held at the Santaluces Athletic Complex in Lantana, Fla. The games against Maine on Friday and Saturday will each take place on the home field of Florida Atlantic University in Boca Raton, Fla.
All games will start at the originally scheduled times.

The Plasmas are bat-like, shape-changing demons and enemies in Devil May Cry. Their ability to copy the actions of the devil hunter Dante and to multiply make them particularly troublesome to fight. In addition, they are immune to the weapons Nightmare-β and Alastor. They are encountered in the castle on Mallet Island.
DescriptionThe Plasmas are evil spirits that manifests through electricity, usually in the form of giant, one-eyed bats.They also has the ability to transform into the shape of their opponent, allowing it to copy their behaviors and actions, and they can separate into two new bodies, each fully recovered, though this usually happens only when it is attacked with a sword. The only sure way to prevent this multiplication is to eliminate all Plasmas present nearly simultaneously. Because of their ability to manipulate ambient energy, they can bend light, and is immune to electrical attacks.
While in bat form, a Plasma is able to fire a blade of electricity that travels quite fast, though it telegraphs this attack by charging its body with light, first. It is also able to fire a beam of charged electricity that sweeps horizontally across the room, but this is slow enough to spot and avoid by jumping.
- Plasma in physics and chemistry is a state of matter similar to gas in which a portion of the particles are ionized. This ionization gives plasma its unique properties, such as filamentation (a la splitting), and causes it to display extremely complex behavior not easily described by mathematical equations.
- Plasma appears in the PSP version of the Capcom game Viewtiful Joe: Red Hot Rumble as an alternate costume for Dante.

Metaphor Poem
Life is a box of Sour Patch Kids.
Sometimes life is fulfilled with wonders of sweetness.
Like growing up and becoming successful.
But Other times life can be horribly sour.
Like going through tough times with family.
Besides the Sweets and Sours there are many different colors and taste to experiance.
There are lovely places to vista and different sights to see.
This is why life can be like a box of sour patch kids.

Old favourites still popular with Aussie kids
The old classic characters continue to hit the spot with Australian children whose favourite superheroes - Batman, Superman & Spider-Man – have been around long before the mediums they often use to view them, including digital TV, iPhones and even the Internet.
The number one superhero nominated by boys aged 6-13 is Batman, followed by Spider-Man and Superman. Among girls 6 -13 Wonder Woman takes the top spot, followed by Batman and Superman.
Spongebob Squarepants, Bugs Bunny and Tweety are the favourite cartoon characters among girls, and for boys the top two are the same but Ben 10 replaces Tweety in third place.
These are the latest results from Roy Morgan Research's Young Australians Survey, which asks children aged 6-13 years to name their Favourite Super Heroes, Cartoons and Computer Games in addition to asking questions about What's Cool, Favourite Sports, Shopping and Media as well as their attitudes about life, leisure and the world.
John La Rosa, Industry Director - Agencies, Roy Morgan Research, says:
"As marketers we have a tendency to think of kids as fickle and that there is always some new great thing taking up their attention. In truth we are finding that the old favourites continue to endure. In fact, the only relative newcomer to the Favourites list is Ben 10, who first hit screens in 2007.
"This is good news for marketers, who can be reassured that investing in the right brand association can mean longevity, not just a fad."

Keeping an Eye on the Drivers of Drug Choice
Illicit drug use seems to go in cycles. Heroin, ice, ecstasy, MDMA, and other types of drugs cycle in and out of popularity. The police, government, and nonprofits keep track of these cycles by collecting statistics on things like the number of people showing up in emergency rooms due to overdose, the number of arrests connected to drug use, the number of busts of home drug-cooking laboratories, and so on. Though not an entertaining exercise, think like a drug user for a moment. How does a person choose what drugs to use? What are the drivers that prompt a person to choose one drug over another?
As is true for any product, legal or not, there are market and economic drivers guiding drug choice. There are many cases where the initial drug use was prompted by factors like peer pressure or curiosity. However, once hooked on drugs, many addicts switch from one drug to another and back again in a continuous cycle of drug abuse. Interestingly, the factors that drive drug choice sound like traditional business principles – availability, price, and accessibility.
Looking Ahead to Market Demand for Drugs
In 2000, a study reported Australia had 74,000 dependent heroin users. In 2005, a different study reported there were 72,700 dependent methamphetamine users. In comparing the study, the question was asked as to whether there were now 146,000 people dependent on heroin or meth, or if these were basically the same group of people who had switched from heroin to meth. The conclusion was that people had altered their drug use (heroin) to switch to a new drug (meth) or were using both drugs (heroin and meth) because meth had become available.1
Heroin is a drug that goes through cycles of scarcity and availability or expensive and inexpensive and even weak versus strong products, depending on where the drug is coming from and what is added to the mixture. The cycles are integrated, creating a true marketplace subject to the same economic principles as any other product. Sometimes there is advance notice of a changing market. Employers should have heeded the warning in 2008 that inexpensive Afghanistan opium was going to flood Australia and end a heroin shortage. The opium was going to be purer and cheaper. The Victorian Police Drug Squad reported at the time that heroin prices had already declined by 40 percent.2 Thus, it would have been reasonable to forecast greater market demand for heroin, meaning it is likely more workers would use heroin.
After the dire predictions, heroin use did increase for several years. Then a new trend started. Jumping forward to 2013, a review of ambulance emergency statistics indicated a 318 percent rise in emergency calls in Melbourne involving crystal methamphetamine (ice) during the two-year period of 2010 to 2012. Though there are many drivers of ice use, one of them is the fact it can be smoked rather than injected. Another driver is increased accessibility due to the increased flow of crystal meth from international dealers and the increase in home-grown meth labs.3 The significant rise in ice use between 2010 and 2011 was also documented by the National Drug and Alcohol Research Centre.
Testing for Multiple Drugs of Choice
The cycles of drug use are precisely why it is important to use drug testing products that test for more than one drug. There is no way an employer can predict whether a worker will use cocaine, methamphetamine, opiates, amphetamine, or cannabis. It depends on the drug flow, accessibility, ease-of-use, and price. News reports and government statistics can help employers understand what cycle particular illicit drugs are likely to enter or are already in, but only drug testing can determine the exact drug being used at the moment by an individual. There are many testing products available today, including one for detecting synthetic cannabis.
CMM (cmm.com.au) offers the full range of drug and alcohol testing products, including the Alere DDS2 Mobile Saliva Drug Test System and the DrugWipe 5S. The selection of products testing for multiple drugs gives employers the opportunity to select the one that best fits their needs and budgets.

I am thinking of ordering my first AK-47, what would be a good company to get it from? Also what is the best stock to get?
Arsenal and Vector both make quality AKs. Imports from Egypt and China are also of decent quality. I would avoid Century, with the exception of the Yugoslavian Underfolders. The 'smith's there seem to be drunk when working on their AKs.
As far as the "best stock," it all depends on what you want to do with it. I usually stick with a fixed, original stock.
Try Classic Arms. He usually has plenty of different makers available.
After about a hundred rounds, my finger hurts from the trigger slap but that can be fixed.
I'm considering an AK as well. Here's the website for Russian-American Armory: click on "Distributors" and you'll see a bunch of links.
Atlantic Firearms has a special going on that I'd like to jump on: a Romanian AK with 2 30-round magazines, mag pouch, bayonet, cleaning kit, oiler, and carrying case for $439.
Here's the site for FBMG, Inc. They have some great deals on Saiga rifles, basically Russian-made AK sporters; they can put you in a 7.62 Russian model for under $300.
Good hunting. As soon as I have the $, I'll be joining you...

A wealthy owner in an attractive market could entice Paul to remain a Hornet for the remainder of his career. In that sense, Paul could remain with the Hornets for the longtime. The real question is whether the team will remain in New Orleans.
The NBA owners just shelled out $300 million to make George Shinn go away and the goal now is to sell the team and maybe turn a little profit. You can't do that without Paul, under contract. He is the gate draw, the face of marketing the team, their best player and the guy others want to play with.
As Tom Ziler notes at SBNation. you can sell an NBA team without Paul on it -- look at the bargain basement prices Mikhail Prohorov got for the Nets and Michael Jordan got for the Bobcats. But the NBA is looking a big score on this sale, and to do that Paul has to be part of the package.
In the longterm? Nobody knows. Paul has the remainder of this season and next on his current deal. He wants to play for a winner because he knows he'll get max money (whatever that is under the new Collective Bargaining Agreement) where he goes.
Could this sale and the limbo it leaves the team in let Paul to go Carmelo Anthony next summer and push for a trade? Yes. Could play out his contract and go to the Knicks? Yes. Does what David West might do when he becomes a free agent this summer play into it? Yes. Are there about 200 other scenarios that could play out not listed here? Yes.
Which is to say anything longterm can happen. But for now, for the remainder of this season and into the summer at least, CP3 is a Hornet and that's not changing.
Hugh Weber
News release from Hornets president Hugh Weber:
The Hornets family announced on Monday that the NBA will move forward with the purchase of 100 percent of our franchise. This is a positive move for the Hornets and assures stability and adequate funding for our team.
We are confident that we are building our organization into a best-in-class franchise, and we are developing a philosophy that is focused on winning, performing at the highest levels and using our resources to make a difference in the community in which we live and work.
George Shinn has been an exceptional owner for the franchise throughout the 22 years the Hornets have been in existence, and Gary Chouest has been extremely supportive as minority owner over the last few seasons. We plan to continue to build upon the culture they created. Our team will remain focused on two main goals:
We will continue to build a legacy in the local community by maintaining a championship-caliber team on the
court and through our numerous community initiatives off the court. We will continue to develop a path and plan for a local owner to bring an NBA Championship to New Orleans
and the state of Louisiana.
We have a strong working partnership with the NBA, and they understand and support our business and basketball philosophies. We have a talented staff in place working toward a common goal, and we will continue to get better.
Our focus remains to create fun, exciting and memorable experiences; build a legacy in the community with integrity and passion and serve as global ambassadors for our hometown of New Orleans. Your continued support is crucial to the overall success of our franchise, now more than ever.
We are proud to call New Orleans home, and look forward to building on the momentum of this exciting season!
THE Hornets were already in hock to the NBA before the league took over. Tommy Craggs of Deadspin.com notes the team's operating income, which in 2008 was a $6.4 million loss and in 2009 was a $5.9 million gain though the latter figure includes $3.4 in revenue assistance from the NBA, and the team's net cash in operating activities, which represents the "measurement of money owner George Shinn is being asked to take out of his pocket to keep operations going. In 2008 that amount was $7.4 million, in 2008, $1.4 million. Things got much more problematic for the franchise the following year. Also of note: As of June, 2009, the partners' deficit totaled $83 million. The team's share of broadcast payment was $26 million in 2008 and $28 million in 2009, And in 2008, the Hornets were told they had received revenue-sharing money in error for the 2005-06 season -- $2.8 million...

This disclosure is related to the following co-pending application: "REDUCING AND CONTROLLING SIZES OF MODEL-BASED RECOGNIZERS" by inventor's Christopher Meek, et al., having U.S. patent application Ser. No. 10/185,172, and filed on Jun. 28, 2002.
Aspects of the invention are directed generally to handwriting recognizers. More particularly, aspects of the invention relate to techniques for reducing and controlling the sizes of prototype-based handwriting recognizers.
Typical computer systems, especially computer systems using graphical user interface (GUI) systems such as Microsoft WINDOWS, are optimized for accepting user input from one or more discrete input devices such as a keyboard for entering text, and a pointing device such as a mouse with one or more buttons for driving the user interface. The ubiquitous keyboard and mouse interface provides for fast creation and modification of documents, spreadsheets, database fields, drawings, photos and the like. However, there is a significant gap in the flexibility provided by the keyboard and mouse interface as compared with the non-computer (i.e., standard) pen and paper. With the standard pen and paper, a user edits a document, writes notes in a margin, and draws pictures and other shapes and the like. In some instances, a user may prefer to use a pen to mark-up a document rather than review the document on-screen because of the ability to freely make notes outside of the confines of the keyboard and mouse interface.
Some computer systems permit a user to write on a screen using, for example, a stylus. For example, the Microsoft READER application permits one to add electronic ink (also referred to herein as "ink") to a document much the same way that a user would write with a standard pen and paper. Hand-held computing devices, commonly known as Personal Digital Assistants (PDAs), as well as the future release of the Tablet PC also permit the user to write on the screen.
A handwriting recognition system may then be used to analyze the electronic ink to recognize characters, for example, Unicode characters. As the user moves the stylus across the screen, the computing device senses the position of the stylus as the user writes and stores the position data. The computing device analyzes the position data and converts it to recognized characters, such as letters or numbers, in a convenient format, such as Unicode format. There are many handwriting recognition systems in use including, for example, prototype-based handwriting recognition systems.
Handwriting recognition systems use algorithms to map handwritten data to characters. For example, handwriting recognition systems may utilize neural networks, Hidden Markov Models, and/or prototypes. In the example, of prototypes, the system internally stores prototypes for each character that can be recognized. A prototype is a "picture" of a handwritten character that is used to map handwriting to a character. Recognition systems use recognition algorithms to measure the distance from handwritten data to one or more prototypes. As long as the user writes like the prototypes, the handwritten data is successfully recognized. Conversely, the more dissimilar the handwritten data and the prototype are, the more likely it is that the handwritten data will be misrecognized. Misrecognition is typically due to the differences in user handwriting styles and legibility of the handwriting. For example, the handwritten word "dear" may be misrecognized as the word "clear" depending on the way the user writes a "d" and the prototypes for the character "d," "c," and "l."
One way to minimize the risk of misrecognition is to have a good prototype database, which provides the various possible shapes the recognizer should understand for any given character. A good prototype database, however, may require multiple prototypes for each character to be recognized. Generally, the greater the number of prototypes in the prototype database, the more accurate the recognizer. This can be quite problematic, for example, in the case where the recognizer is for an East Asian language. East Asian languages typically have thousands of characters. To compound the problem, East Asian language characters are also inherently complex and typically require multiple strokes of ink to form each character. The prototype database for an East Asian language may therefore have hundreds of prototypes for each character. The original prototype database for an East Asian language may have millions of prototypes and may require tens of millions of bytes of memory.
A large prototype database can be undesirable for many reasons. For example, a large prototype database requires long search times. The required time for the recognizer to recognize East Asian language characters may therefore be unacceptably long. As another example, in the context where the recognizer is part of a smaller computing device, such as a handheld Personal Digital Assistant (PDA), the required memory for the prototype database may be unacceptably large.
One option to overcome the above problems is to limit the size of the prototype database. The difficulty arises, however, in being able to limit the prototype database without significantly compromising the ability of the handwriting recognizer to accurately recognize characters. Training algorithms may be used to select a good subset of the possible prototypes, however, these training algorithms are unable to limit the prototype database without adversely affecting the recognizer's accuracy. Moreover, to maintain desired character recognition accuracy, the training algorithms are unable to sufficiently limit the size of the prototype database.
It is therefore desirable to adequately reduce the size of a prototype database with minimal effects on character recognition accuracy.
The invention provides a method and apparatus for reducing and controlling the size of a handwriting recognition system by iteratively removing prototypes from the prototype database. The particular prototypes to be removed may be determined generally by selecting those prototypes that adversely affect the accuracy of character recognition the least.
In accordance with one embodiment, a process, implemented as computer-executable instructions, for reducing a prototype database is disclosed. The process runs a tuning set through the handwriting recognizer to identify a list of best match prototypes for each tuning sample in the tuning set. The process then determines, for each prototype, how the error rate would be affected if the prototype was to be removed. The prototypes for each space may thereby be ordered according to their effect on the error rate. Once this is achieved, the process may remove all prototypes that would result in actually reducing the error rate. The process may then start removing prototypes to achieve a desired prototype database size. In particular, the process identifies a prototype from all of the spaces that has the least adverse effect on the error rate. The process removes that prototype from the database and performs some updating of the prototype ranking based on error rate. The process continues removing prototypes until the desired prototype database size has been achieved.
These and other features and aspects of the invention will be apparent upon consideration of the following detailed description of various embodiments of the invention.
The foregoing summary of the invention, as well as the following detailed description of embodiments, is better understood when read in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, which are included by way of example, and not by way of limitation with regard to the claimed invention.
The exemplary disclosed system and method provide a technique for reducing and controlling the size of a prototype database, for use with a handwriting recognizer, with minimized effect on error rate. In particular, a database reduction process determines the effect that removing each prototype from the database would have on the error rate. The process then reduces the database to remove any prototypes that actually cause an increase the error rate. The process then iteratively removes prototypes from the database that have the least effect on error rate until the desired database size is reached.
Although not required, the invention will be described in the general context of computer-executable instructions, such as program modules. Generally, program modules include variables, routines, classes, objects, scripts, components, data structures, and the like that perform particular tasks or implement particular abstract data types. The invention provides for a software system that may be implemented on any network infrastructure such that networked devices may be remotely controlled by, for example, a general-purpose computer, or a system whereby the networked devices may share information with and about each other. The invention provides and accepts common command, control, and communication through the network while retaining the ability of each device to operate autonomously. In a distributed computing environment, program modules may reside on both local and remote devices.
Ink or electronic ink as used herein refers to a sequence or a set of strokes with properties. The sequence of strokes may include strokes ordered, for example, by the time captured. Each stroke is comprised of a sequence of points, which may be represented using a variety of known techniques including Cartesian coordinates (X, Y), polar coordinates (r, Θ), and other techniques as known in the art.
A stroke as used herein refers to a sequence or set of captured points. For example, when rendered, the sequence of points may be connected with lines. Alternatively, the stroke may be represented as a point and a sequence of vectors in the directions of the next point. In short, a stroke is intended to encompass any representation of points or segments relating to ink, irrespective of the underlying representation of points and/or what connects the points. In one example, as illustrated herein, a stroke may consist of the sequence or set of points captured from when a user makes a pen down action to when the user makes a pen up action.
A character is a known letter or symbol for a specific language such as, for example, the letter "a" or the symbol "$." Characters can also be code points, for example, as ASCII elements or UNICODE elements or can be letters or symbols for a particular language. Characters may also generally be shapes, for example, squares, triangles or circles. Characters can be categorized according to the number of strokes it typically takes to write the character.
A prototype as used herein refers generally to a "picture" of a handwritten symbol that is used to map handwriting to a character. Each prototype can be described as a sequence of numbers representing various features of each stroke in the prototype including, for example, the start point, the end point, the curvature, the overall shape, etc. A prototype for a given character therefore quantifies various features of the prototype.
A tuning sample is a character input representing a character that a user would write. Each tuning sample would depict the various ways that a user could write characters.
A tuning set is a set of tuning samples that contain a representative sample of what typical users would write. For example, the tuning set may be those character inputs that a type of users would typically write (e.g., left-handed users). The tuning set may, for example, be a training set and can consist of as many as 20 million tuning samples.
General Purpose Computing Environment
Referring still to
A basic input/output system 160 (BIOS), which is stored in the ROM 140, contains the basic routines that help to transfer information between elements within the computer 100, such as during start-up. The computer 100 also includes a hard disk drive 170 for reading from and writing to a hard disk (not shown), a magnetic disk drive 180 for reading from or writing to a removable magnetic disk 190, and an optical disk drive 191 for reading from or writing to a removable optical disk 182 such as a CD ROM or other optical media. The hard disk drive 170, magnetic disk drive 180, and optical disk drive 191 are connected to the system bus 130 by a hard disk drive interface 192, a magnetic disk drive interface 193, and an optical disk drive interface 194, respectively. The drives and their associated computer-readable media provide nonvolatile storage of computer readable instructions, data structures, program modules and other data for the personal computer 100. It will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that other types of computer readable media that can store data that is accessible by a computer, such as magnetic cassettes, flash memory cards, digital video disks, Bernoulli cartridges, random access memories (RAMs), read only memories (ROMs), and the like, may also be used in the example operating environment.
A number of program modules can be stored on the hard disk drive 170, magnetic disk 190, optical disk 192, ROM 140 or RAM 150, including an operating system 195, one or more application programs 196, other program modules 197, and program data 198. A user can enter commands and information into the computer 100 through input devices such as a keyboard 101 and/or a pointing device 102. Other input devices (not shown) may include a microphone, joystick, game pad, satellite dish, scanner or the like. These and other input devices are often connected to the processing unit 110 through a serial port interface 106 that is coupled to the system bus, but may be connected by other interfaces, such as a parallel port, game port or a universal serial bus (USB). Further still, these devices may be coupled directly to the system bus 130 via an appropriate interface (not shown). A monitor 107 or other type of display device is also connected to the system bus 130 via an interface, such as a video adapter 108. In addition to the monitor, personal computers typically include other peripheral output devices (not shown), such as speakers and printers. In one embodiment, a pen digitizer 165 and accompanying pen or stylus 166 are provided in order to digitally capture freehand input. Although a direct connection between the pen digitizer 165 and the processing unit 110 is shown, in practice, the pen digitizer 165 may be coupled to the processing unit 110 via a serial port, parallel port or other interface and the system bus 130 as known in the art. Furthermore, although the digitizer 165 is shown apart from the monitor 107, it is preferred that the usable input area of the digitizer 165 be co-extensive with the display area of the monitor 107. Further still, the digitizer 165 may be integrated in the monitor 107, or may exist as a separate device overlaying or otherwise appended to the monitor 107.
The computer 100 can operate in a networked environment using logical connections to one or more remote computers, such as a remote computer 109. The remote computer 109 can be a server, a router, a network PC, a peer device or other common network node, and typically includes many or all of the elements described above relative to the computer 100, although only a memory storage device 111 has been illustrated in
When used in a LAN networking environment, the computer 100 is connected to the local network 112 through a network interface or adapter 114. When used in a WAN networking environment, the personal computer 100 typically includes a modem 115 or other means for communicating over the wide area network 113, such as the Internet. The modem 115, which may be internal or external, is connected to the system bus 130 via the serial port interface 106. In a networked environment, program modules depicted relative to the personal computer 100, or portions thereof, may be stored in the remote memory storage device.
It will be appreciated that the network connections shown are exemplary and other techniques for establishing a communications link between the computers can be used. The existence of any of various well-known protocols such as TCP/IP, Ethernet, FTP, HTTP and the like is presumed, and the system can be operated in a client-server configuration to permit a user to retrieve web pages from a web server. Any of various conventional web browsers can be used to display and manipulate data on web pages.
The stylus 204 may be equipped with one or more buttons or other features to augment its selection capabilities. In one embodiment, the stylus 204 could be implemented as a "pencil" or "pen", in which one end constitutes a writing portion and the other end constitutes an "eraser" end, and which, when moved across the display, indicates portions of the display are to be erased. Other types of input devices, such as a mouse, trackball, or the like could be used. Additionally, a user's own finger could be the stylus 204 and used for selecting or indicating portions of the displayed image on a touch-sensitive or proximity-sensitive display. Consequently, the term "user input device", as used herein, is intended to have a broad definition and encompasses many variations on well-known input devices such as stylus 204. Region 205 shows a feedback region or contact region permitting the user to determine where the stylus 204 has contacted the display surface 202.
In various embodiments, the system provides an ink platform as a set of COM (component object model) services that an application can use to capture, manipulate, and store ink. One such service enables an application to read and write ink using the disclosed representations of ink. The ink platform may also include a mark-up language including a language like the extensible markup language (XML). Further, the system may use DCOM as another implementation.
Overview of Character Recognition Process
As discussed, a handwriting recognizer analyzes the ink strokes and converts them into recognized characters, such as letters or numbers, in a convenient format, such as Unicode format.
Because the computing device compares the features of the inputted character with those of prototypes in a linear fashion, character recognition may cause long delays especially if the prototype database is large. The present invention overcomes this delay by providing a reduced prototype database that has the least adverse effect on error rate.
For each prototype space, each prototype is processed to determine its rank amongst the other prototypes in that space. Described in greater detail herein, this rank determines the order in which prototypes would be removed from the space. Once ranked, the error rate for each space may also be determined as a function of the number of prototypes that are in that space. This may be represented graphically, for example, in
Referring back to
It still may be desirable, however, to reduce the prototype database even further. Accordingly, at step 520, the process starts removing one at a time prototypes from the spaces in a manner that reduces accuracy the least (or that increases the error rate the least). The prototypes are removed one at a time until the desired prototype database size is achieved. Each time the process seeks to remove a prototype, it selects a prototype across all the spaces that reduces accuracy the least. Thus, for each space, the process determines the incremental increase in the error rate if the next prototype was removed. For each prototype candidate in the space, the process identifies the prototype that causes the least increase in error rate. The identified prototype is thereby removed from the prototype database. The process continues removing prototypes and, at step 525, the process stops once the desired prototype size is achieved. This process can be illustrated graphically with reference to the example of
The process starts at step 705 and at step 710, the process runs the portion of the tuning set corresponding to a specific space through the recognizer. For each tuning sample within the tuning set, the process, at step 715, identifies a sorted list of prototypes that best matches the tuning sample in order of closeness. For example, a nearest-neighbor classifier may be utilized to measure the closeness of prototype and a tuning sample.
Each prototype in

Upon each deletion of a prototype, at step 745, the process recomputes those prototype statistics tables that were identified in the prototype tables for the deleted prototype. For example, if prototype P1(a) was removed, tables 920 and 921 identify tuning samples 801 and 803 that need to be processed again to determine their new best match lists 804 and 806, respectively, and the updated effect-on-error-rate table 810. Based on the updated best match lists 804 and 806, at step 750, the process updates the prototype tables 920–927. In a preferred embodiment, only certain prototype tables would require change, namely those where prototypes which appeared in the top three positions of the best match list of a tuning sample which had P1(a) in the one of the top two positions in its list. The process then returns to step 730 to delete the next prototype with the least effect on error rate. The process continues until the desired prototype database size has been achieved. The sequence of prototype deletions may be graphically represented, for example, as illustrated in
The present invention therefore provides a mechanism to reduce the size of a prototype database with minimized effects on accuracy. Although the invention has been defined using the appended claims, these claims are exemplary in that the invention may be intended to include the elements and steps described herein in any combination or sub combination. Accordingly, there are any number of alternative combinations for defining the invention, which incorporate one or more elements from the specification, including the description, claims, and drawings, in various combinations or sub combinations. It will be apparent to those skilled in the relevant technology, in light of the specification, that alternate combinations of aspects of the invention, either alone or in combination with one or more elements or steps defined herein, may be utilized as modifications or alterations of the invention or as part of the invention. It may be intended that the written description of the invention contained herein covers all such modifications and alterations. For instance, in various embodiments, a certain order to the data has been shown. However, any reordering of the data is encompassed by the invention. Also, where certain units of properties such as size (e.g., in bytes or bits) are used, any other units are also envisioned.

Repeatable sections or group of fields with conditional logic ?Asked by scandinave on October 02, 2014 at 10:20 AM
I need to have a section of the form which is user repeatable (repeatable fields). The only way I can do this is using the http://widgets.jotform.com/widget/configurable_list widget.
But the fields need to also be conditional, and there is no functionality for that.
How can I make a section of fields repeatable by the user (3 dropdowns and a date) but also have conditional hide/show based on the dropdowns. I've seen this with some other online form apps and wondering if we can do this with jotform.
Unfortunately, Jotform widgets doesn't work with conditional rule. You can show/hide widgets, but you can't reference the fields in the widgets since it runs separately and some runs in an iframe.
I know you need something that can be repeatedly added and removed, widgets are the only one who have that capability as of the moment but can't work with conditions.

I allready posted this question, but i didn't get any answers and i would be so grateful if somebody could help me please I'm trying so hard to save some pictures ito my favorites and i'm so upsad because something won't let me, i click and click on it (save picture) and it just won't let me and like I say this has been happening since cc got upgraded and I don't know if that has anything to do with it. Is anyone having the same problem or is it just me? please help me! [/i]
You should post this question in the Technical Support forum or contact Jackie and Heath via the 'Contact Us' link at the very very top of this page (to the left of the 'Visa' logo). They're really the only ones who can help, and they won't know you're having trouble unless you contact them that way.
I just tried it. I clicked the button "add to favorites" and it worked.
I don't have a button that reads "save picture"
thanks guys! All4cake you are right, i'm sorry mine also says "add to faorites" sorry that was my mistake. But it's not working anyway, but thankyou guys for your help.
I'm just plain curious now. What happens when you click "add to favorites"?
I'm sure someone will come to your rescue.
Can you create a folder on your puter then highlight the picture, right-click then save to your puter until the problem is fixed so you don't lose the picture?
