Children influence you in unexpected ways. For example, Rosie encouraged me to try a new haircut.
Not only was I admiring Rosie's short, soft locks, but I was also experiencing a great deal of pain every time Rosie wound her strong, saliva-moistened hands into my hair. No kind of ponytail or up-do would restrain her from grabbing the curls right at my scalp and yanking. And, of course, removing her little monkey hand was like trying to get a burr out of my unwieldy mane. I had had enough.
So, inspired by Rosie, and a character's impromptu haircut in my latest read, plus my good friend who cropped hers, I decided to take the plunge. I scheduled an appointment and got to work, obsessively googling "short curly hair" to try to find some visuals of the look I wanted.
I have chopped off my hair a couple of times in my adult life, with mixed results. It is often hard to know what the curly hair will end up looking like — it sometimes just springs up with a life of its own, without any regard to my wishes. But, I'm really pleased with how my hair turned out. For the first time in my life, I have been getting my haircut regularly (if twice a year can be "regular") from the same person. Danielle takes plenty of time, listens really well to learn what I want, and knows just how to cut my hair — plus, she's loads of fun! This time, I showed her some photos of the look I was going for, and she decided to cut my hair dry, so the curls wouldn't give us surprises later — a stroke of genius.
Lucy still recognized me the next morning, and I am so glad to not have to wrestle Rosie's hand out of my hair during middle-of-the-night feedings anymore. I'm sure I'll grow my hair out again, but short is certainly convenient for this stage of my life!

We propose a person verification method using behavioral patterns of human upper body motion. Behavioral patterns are represented by three-dimensional features obtained from a time-of-flight camera. We take a statistical approach to model the behavioral patterns using Gaussian mixture models (GMM) and support vector machines. We employ the maximum likelihood linear regression adaptation method to estimate GMM parameters with a limited amount of data. Experimental results show that it reduced by 28.6% the relative equal error rates from a system using the maximum likelihood estimation with 25 samples per subject. We also demonstrate that the proposed approach is robust against variations in body motion over time.

1 Introduction
Identity verification systems are getting popular in our daily life. They provide a secure means of controlling access to information or equipment. Traditionally, these systems have required something that one has or something that one knows (e.g., keys and password). However, these representations of identity can be easily lost, manipulated, or stolen. This problem can be solved by a biometrics approach, which identifies an individual based on his/her characteristic traits. Biometrics can be divided into two classes [1]: physiological and behavioral.
Physiological biometrics uses physical traits, such as fingerprint or the iris [2]. This type of biometrics is stable and accurate since it relies on unique and permanent physical traits. However, they cannot be changed or reissued if the biometric data are exposed or counterfeited [3]. They are also perceived as obtrusive [4]. In behavioral biometrics, a person's identity is verified through action patterns which can be repeated in a unique manner [5]. In comparison to physiological biometrics, behavioral biometrics are less stable since behavior may change due to the environment or the physical state of the individual. On the other hand, they are not obtrusive and are difficult to disguise or to be imitated by others [6]. Examples of behavioral biometrics include voice, keystroke dynamics, signature, and gait. Voice can be used for remote identity verification [7]. Keystroke verifies the identity of a user while he/she uses a computer [8]. Signature can be used in online transactions [9]. Gait has been proven to be useful for surveillance applications where data can be collected from a distance [10].
In this paper, we focus on the individuality of upper body motion as an alternative cue for identity verification applications where the acquisition of other behavioral biometrics is not feasible due to visual and space constraints. An example application is an automatic gatekeeper, where a person explicitly requests permission to access a secure area by performing a body gesture in front of a camera. Only a few studies have been done for this kind of application. Pratheepan et al. used arm waving motion [11] and simple actions such as sitting down, standing up, and walking away [12] for individual identification in surveillance applications. These studies used holistic features which represent characteristics from a region of interest of a person as a whole [13]. They used these features to create templates that represent each person's behavioral patterns.
The holistic features used in the above mentioned works are sensitive to visual variations such as clothing differences and view and scale changes since they rely on global information about a person's appearance [14]. To reduce the effects of visual variations, human body models describing the kinematic properties (skeleton) or the shape of the body have been used for feature extraction in gait recognition [15]. By doing this, it is possible to extract features from joint positions to alleviate the effects introduced by clothing changes or noise. However, this technique requires localization and tracking of specific human body parts, which are often erroneous.
Accurate extraction of features also depends on the correct segmentation of a person from the background scene, which can be affected by texture and illumination changes [16]. Recently, time-of-flight (ToF) cameras have been used to reduce such errors by simplifying background segmentation [17, 18]. Furthermore, ToF cameras have a low dependency on lighting conditions and invariance to color and texture.
In previous approaches [11, 12], extracted features were utilized to create a template characterizing a person's motion. However, templates are weak against the natural variations of individual behavioral patterns since they only encode an average representation of observed samples [19]. Statistical models such as Gaussian mixture models (GMM) and hidden Markov models (HMM) have successfully handled variations in individual behavioral patterns [20–23]. For example, Kale et al. [21] showed that HMMs were more robust than templates for gait recognition. Statistical models usually exhibit higher accuracy than templates since they model intraindividual variations well and are also able to handle variations in the sample duration. One drawback is that a relatively larger amount of data is needed to estimate their parameters. The data sparseness problem is significant when the training data are limited, which is often solved by adaptation techniques such as maximum a posteriori (MAP) [24], maximum likelihood linear regression (MLLR) [25], and eigenspace-based techniques [26].
In this paper, we propose a statistical method for person verification based on behavioral patterns of human upper body motion, extending our prior work published in [27] and later in [28]. We use depth information acquired from a ToF camera to extract characteristic features from specific parts of the body in the three-dimensional (3D) space. GMMs are used to robustly model individuals' behavioral patterns. To cope with the problem of data sparseness, we use the MLLR adaptation technique. For identity verification tests, we combine GMMs with support vector machines (SVM) [29] and compare its performance with the GMM log-likelihood ratio framework. Lastly, we evaluate our method using a data set containing samples collected over different sessions to demonstrate that it is able to verify the identity of a person even after a period of time.
The remainder of this paper is organized as follows. Section 2 gives a brief overview of the adopted process for person verification. Section 3 describes the features that are used for person verification in our approach. Section 4 describes the statistical modeling and adaptation techniques used to model a person's behavioral patterns. Section 5 describes the classifiers used for person verification systems. In Section 6, experimental conditions are explained and results are presented. Finally, conclusion and future work are described in Section 7.
2 Overview of our person verification system
3 Feature extraction
We implement an image processing front-end to locate and track eight anatomical landmark points on depth image streams acquired by the ToF camera. The input consists of image streams acquired from a Swissranger SR4000 camera (MESA Imaging, Zurich, Switzerland) [30] at approximately 20 frames per second. Each image frame represents the scene depth map with a resolution of 177 × 144 pixels and a field of view of 43.6° × 34.6°. Each pixel has an accuracy higher than 1 cm within the distance measurement range of 5 m.
where Dist(a,b) is the distance between pixel a and pixel b, D a and D b are the depth value of pixels a and b, respectively, and pixel a is the seed or a pixel already aggregated to R.
Pixel b is selected from among the four connected neighbor pixels of a, unless it is already a part of the region. The threshold θ in Equation 1 is determined empirically based on preliminary experiments. The region continues growing recursively until no neighbor pixel can satisfy the condition in Equation 1, and then only the region R, depicting the body of a person, remains.
Next, the algorithm segments the person's body into four different regions (i.e., chest, head, left, and right arms). First, it finds a chest rectangle around the center of mass of the body. Then it performs few iterations of expanding and shrinking until 15% of its total area does not contain pixels from the body region. The 15% empty area represents the space between the arms and chest due to the 'open arms' position which each subject takes at the beginning of recording or some possible holes in the body region due to noisy data. After setting the chest rectangle, the algorithm segments the head and both arm regions by region growing with a constrained search space. For the head, region growing starts from the middle point at the top edge of the chest rectangle, and the growing is constrained to the upper sector. For the right/left arm, region growing starts at the corresponding top vertex of the chest rectangle, and growing is constrained to its corresponding side. In case a previous landmark point position (i.e., elbows and head) is available, the algorithm uses it as a seed for the growing. Each region is labeled as detected if its area is larger than a threshold, which is empirically set by preliminary tests.
After body segmentation, the algorithm calculates eight landmark points. The algorithm registers the 3D correspondence of the rectangle's top vertex points as the left and right shoulder points. Also, it registers the 3D correspondence of the rectangle's center as the center of mass of the body. The head point is obtained by taking the 3D correspondence of the calculated center of mass of the head region. For the elbow and hand points, skeletonization operation [32] is applied on each arm region to find the longest single pixel line starting from the shoulder point. We assume that the hand point can be found at the end of the line produced by skeletonization and that the center of mass of this line corresponds to the elbow point. Finally, a Kalman filter [33] for each landmark point is updated to estimate its position in the next frame. If a region is not found, the estimate calculated in the previous frame is used. The Kalman filter is used for visual tracking in order to cope with ambiguities when capturing human movement.
4 Statistical modeling based on Gaussian mixture models
A GMM can represent feature vectors by its mean components as well as represent their average variations by the covariance matrix. For this reason, it is possible to model the variations of individual features that characterize a person. While other statistical models such as hidden Markov models and conditional random fields have been proven to be effective to model human motion [36], they are better suited for sequential actions characterizing an activity [37].
To robustly estimate the GMM parameters, we have to deal with the problem of data sparseness. The ML method cannot precisely estimate the model parameters when the training data are sparse and their size is small. Adaptation techniques such as MAP [24], MLLR [25], and eigenspace-based techniques [26] are often used to solve this problem. Although eigenspace-based techniques are effective when adaptation data are extremely small [38], they restrict the model to a lower dimensionality where much information might be lost [39]. On the other hand, MLLR and MAP do not impose this restriction on the models. However, MAP only updates distributions which are observable in the adaptation data, and thus, it requires more data for adaptation [40]. MLLR estimates a set of transformations that can be shared by several model components, hence reducing the amount of adaptation data required [41, 42]. Therefore, we use MLLR.
where A is an n×n transformation matrix (n is the dimensionality of the data), and b is a bias vector which maximizes the likelihood of the adaptation data. The parameters A and b are shared among all the mixture components of a GMM. To further reduce the number of parameters, we use a diagonal transformation. As an initial model, a universal background model (UBM) [43] is often used. A UBM is a GMM trained by EM parameter estimation using the training data from all the subjects in the data set. The parameters of the UBM are adapted via MLLR to derive a person-dependent model using a specific person's training data.
5 Person identity verification
In this task, an unknown person claims an identity and provides a sample to be compared with a model for the person whose identity is claimed. A match score between the claimed identity's model and the input sample is computed, and if the score is above a threshold, the identity claim is accepted, otherwise rejected. We implement a GMM log-likelihood ratio and SVM classifiers for the person identity verification system and compare their performance.
5.1 Log-likelihood ratio
5.2 Support vector machine
where t i is an ideal output (either +1 or −1, depending on whether the corresponding support vector is a positive or negative example of a given class), and α i and d are the SVM parameters set during the training step. The vector x i is a support vector obtained from a training set by an optimization method. The data points from the training set lying on the boundaries are the support vectors.
We utilize two methods, SVM-S and SVM-T, where different input features are used. SVM-S employs GMM supervectors as input feature vectors [46, 47]. A GMM supervector is formed by concatenating the mean vectors (μ) of GMM mixture components into a single vector. One GMM is created by adaptation using one sample as adaptation data. For training, positive feature vectors are made from the GMMs of the target subject, and negative feature vectors are made from the GMMs of non-target subjects.
SVM-T employs MLLR transformation parameters as input feature vectors [48, 49]. The elements of the matrix A and the vector b in Equation 6 are concatenated to form a single supervector. By doing this, it is possible to model the difference between the subject GMM and the UBM instead of modeling each subject's characteristics. One supervector is obtained by performing MLLR adaptation using one sample as adaptation data. For training, positive feature vectors are made from the transformation parameters of the target subject, and negative feature vectors are made from the transformation parameters of non-target subjects.
6 Experiments
6.1 Conditions
We collected a new data set to evaluate our method since there is no public database containing human upper body movements recorded with a ToF camera over several sessions. The data set used in our approach consists of short image streams of 12 subjects (three females and nine males), where each subject performed two different upper body movements separately. The movements are classified as 'raising left arm' and 'raising right arm'. The data were organized in five sessions recorded with an interval of 3 to 5 days between them. The first session (session 0) contains 25 samples per user for each movement and was used only for the model training phase. Each of the four remaining sessions contains eight samples per person for each movement and was used only as testing samples. The average length per sample is 2.93 s, and the average frame number per sample is 70.5 frames.
Identity verification tests were conducted for each of the four sessions available for testing in the data set. In each session, we conducted eight verification trials per person where each trial used a single sample per subject. System performance was measured by the equal error rate (EER) calculated a posteriori for the optimal decision threshold. The EER is the value where the false acceptance rate and false rejection rate are equal. The obtained optimal threshold was used for all subjects. Detection error trade-off (DET) curves were also plotted to assess system behavior in the full range of operating points.
For the LLR system, we used person-dependent models adapted from a UBM by MLLR using a diagonal transformation and compared its performance with models obtained by ML estimation using the EM algorithm. Models used in LLR systems were created with 16 Gaussian mixtures since this setup exhibited the best performance in our preliminary experiments. The Hidden Markov Model Toolkit [50] was used to train GMMs. Each of the SVM-S and SVM-T systems used 2, 4, 8, 16, and 32 Gaussian mixture variants. For the sake of simplicity, only configurations which exhibit the best result are presented in this paper. The SVM-light toolkit [51] was used to train the SVMs. Based on preliminary experiments, we chose linear kernel for SVM training.
The SVMs were trained using the target person's feature vectors as positive examples (25 samples for training) and the non-target persons' feature vectors as negative examples (275 samples for training). To deal with the problem of an unbalanced training data set, we use a cost factor [52] to penalize classification errors on positive examples stronger than errors on negative examples by setting a higher cost for false-positives compared to false-negatives. The feature vector dimensionality for the SVM-S system was 45×N, where N is the number of Gaussian mixtures in the GMM, and 45 corresponds to the number of mean components per Gaussian mixture. For the SVM-T, the MLLR transforms resulted in 2,070-dimensional feature vectors (45×45+45, including the bias vector b).
6.2 Results
First, we show the accuracy results for a landmark point localization test. Then the results for person verification task are presented.
6.2.1 Body landmark point localization accuracy test
We examined the accuracy of the landmark point localization implemented on the image processing front-end. The measure was an average accuracy per landmark point for all subjects. We provided hand-labeled ground truth data and compared them to the landmark positions inferred by our method. If a landmark point was found within D centimeters from the ground truth position, it was considered as correctly localized, otherwise it was considered as incorrectly localized. We set D=10 cm. This value is the same as the one used in the previous human pose recognition research [53]. The hand-labeled data consisted of image streams depicting left arm movements of five subjects (ten samples per person), recorded on a separate session under the same conditions as the rest of the data set.

Despite the low accuracy exhibited for the elbow and hand compared to other landmark points, the tracked points still follow the motion path thanks to the Kalman filter implementation. The measurement errors are smoothed by tuning the parameters of the Kalman filter to achieve a balance between the responsiveness of the tracker and estimate variance. By relying on the Kalman filter, the tracking results are consistent across samples for each subject, which results in a tracker that exhibits low variance - high bias for the elbow and hand points. For this reason, we assume that the motion pattern is preserved to some degree even when the estimated position differs with respect to the ground truth position. Furthermore, by combining features from all landmark points, the effects of inaccurate estimations of elbow and hand points are minimized since the remaining landmark points are estimated and tracked more accurately.
6.2.2 Person verification results
Average equal error rate for the LLR system
Full feature set
Arm feature set
By using the full feature set, the systems exhibit overall higher performance compared to using only features from the arm in motion. The reason for this result is that the whole upper body takes part in the execution of the analyzed gestures. For example, subjects assume a slightly different posture when raising their arms, and a characteristic motion is observed on the arm that its not raised. The combination of these perceptible features allows the creation of better representations of individual behavioral patterns.
By using the full feature set, the ML estimation yielded an average EER of 9.1% for the left arm samples. The MLLR adaptation reduced the average EER from 9.1% to 6.5%. The relative reduction in EER by 28% confirmed that MLLR adaptation was effective.

Left arm EER (%)
Right arm EER (%)
The two SVM systems achieved the same EER of 8.9% by using different numbers of Gaussian components for the GMM models used to construct the supervectors. However, contrary to our expectations, the LLR system with MLLR adaptation achieved 27% relative reduction in EER compared to the SVM system. McNemar's test confirmed that performance difference between the systems is statistically significant (P value < 0.001).
The reason why the SVM systems did not achieve a better performance might be the size of the data used to derive GMM models from which the supervectors were created. The number of frames per sample used for GMM model adaptation on the SVM-S and SVM-T systems was relatively small (70.5 frames in average), and thus, adaptation was less effective compared to the case of LLR system where person-dependent models were derived using all training samples of the target person.

For comparison purposes, we measured the training and testing time for each system. We used a PC with 8 GB RAM and a double-core Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU running at 1.86 GHz. For the LLR system, the average training time for the UBM is 34 and 0.33 s for each person-dependent model by MLLR adaptation. For the SVM systems, the average training time is 21.91 s. The average testing time per sample for the LLR and SVM systems is 0.04 and 0.17 s, respectively.
7 Conclusions
We have proposed a statistical approach for person identity verification using behavioral patterns observed on human body motion. In particular, we used behavioral patterns from left arm and right arm movements. By using a ToF camera, we simplified the segmentation of the human body to track specific human body parts in the 3D space. Since we extract static and dynamic features of human motion directly from identified landmark points, the effects of appearance changes were reduced. By taking a statistical approach, we effectively modeled the natural variation in features observed on behavioral patterns. To deal with the problem of data sparseness, we used the MLLR adaptation method along with a UBM to estimate parameters for person-dependent GMMs. In addition, we used GMM components and MLLR transformation parameters as features to create supervectors in the context of SVMs.
We have shown that by using a model adaptation method in the training phase, the average EER of the LLR system was reduced to 6.5%, a relative reduction of 27% compared with our SVM systems. The reason why the SVM systems did not exhibit better performance might be because the model adaptation used to derive GMM models for creating supervectors was not as effective as the LLR system. While the verification performance did not improve by using SVM classifiers, we consider that providing a comparison against the LLR system is useful for future improvement of such an approach. We found that features extracted from the left arm motion samples exhibit an overall higher degree of distinctiveness compared to those from the right arm motion samples. Furthermore, experimental results showed that our system is able to verify the identity of a person even after a period of time. Hence, our approach is promising for person verification tasks even when natural variations in behavioral patterns exist. Although we used a vertical arm motion in our experiments, the approach presented in this paper is suitable for any other upper body movements or gestures as well.
For future work, we plan to increase the size of the data set, in both the number of users and sessions, to perform further analysis using a wider range of body movements. We would also like to measure the discriminative degree of different upper body movements, especially for cases when each subject performs a personal movement. We also plan on implementing a more robust landmark point localization and tracking method in order to minimize errors introduced by ambiguities and noisy data. We are interested in implementing a HMM-based framework where more complex movements are used as a cue for identity verification, taking advantage of the temporal information of such movements. We would also like to explore the use of the Kinect image sensor since it can acquire depth images with higher resolutions.

Do you hate DRM? Have you ever experienced trying to play a single player game that demands you connect to the internet to verify that you indeed own the game you are trying to play? That's DRM in action and it is an annoying experience that hardly affects pirates. Don't get us wrong, we don't condone piracy. But case in point, DRM does not address piracy. Even in the case of Denuvo, DRM only defers piracy and does not prevent it. DRM only makes the legitimate game owners jump hoops.
Denuvo is a company that specializes in adding DRM to video games. Publishers hire Denuvo to "protect" their game from pirates and they've done a good job for quite some time. Denuvo-protected games seemed ironclad. Denuvo was able to delay the games from being cracked. It took months before hackers were able to crack games with Denuvo protection. However, it would seem that the hackers have the DRM experts all figured out. Denuvo games are now being hacked in just one day. Total War: Warhammer 2 and FIFA 18 were actually cracked in under 8 hours.
Many video game publishers have been known to remove Denuvo from their games after their games have been cracked. Once a crack has been released, DRM is pretty much useless and just becomes a bother for those that own the games legitimately.
Middle-earth: Shadow of War was the latest Denuvo-protected game that was cracked just one day after it was released. On top of that, people were already able to use Cheat Engine to get unlimited loot boxes. Take that you greedy bastards! Notably, the game has become unpopular for being a single player game that introduced microtransactions.
The question right now, with the recent failure of Denuvo to deter hackers from cracking the games they protect, will video game publishers still use Denuvo? Or will gamers be able to once again experience DRM-free gaming? Who are we kidding? DRM-free will probably still be a pipe-dream.

The pig with two snouts faces off for a final time against a Batman with a difference. Can the pig go out in a blaze of glory, or will she finally experience crushing defeat in this week's Freak Out?
Not even last week's dog on a surfboard – which is pretty mad – could topple the piglet with the freak facial figure.
Freak Out has decided to give the little porker one last hurrah – safe in the knowledge that her owner will not be turning her into bacon any time soon.
Having two snouts has proved to have its advantages, as this greedy piggy gets to eat twice as much as her brothers and sisters.
Brian Vann spent weeks transforming his electric scooter into the superheroâs car.
He can be spotted riding the Batmobile, which has a top speed of 8mph, around the âBatcaveâ â the sheltered housing complex where he lives in Evesham, Worcestershire.
âPeople drive past in their cars and stop when they see me, get out, and ask for a photo,â said the retired construction worker.
âI feel like a bit of a celebrity. I know how the Beckhams must feel when I go out in my Batmobile. If it brings a smile to peopleâs faces, then itâs done the job.â
So now it's over to you. Which is the weirder picture – the pig with two snouts or the Grandad Batmobile?customer surveys

Final Review: Two Required Textbooks, One Girl, and One Online Class
May 14, 2018 Leave a comment
Compare and contrast Content Strategy for the Web and the Strategic Social Media. Explain how they complement each other by identifying at least two key areas of overlap (with reference to specific ideas and pages in the book) and a strength of each book that is definitely not a strength, or not covered in the other book (specific ideas and pages also noted). In other word, probably 4 sections, two sections on overlap, one section about a CSW strength and one section about a SSM strength. You might end up with a 1500-2000 word post. Develop it over the course of the short week, not all in one sitting Sunday May 13th.
This semester has been hard. Not just, "hard" as in I have to stay up a little late to get things done or maybe study a couple extra hours than normal. I mean exhausting, constant work, running…

Ugh! I have been so bad about keeping this blog updated. Now that the holidays are over though, I'll try to keep up with it a little more. We have not been slacking in home schooling though. We are so close to getting over the "I can't read" hump I can almost taste it. It gets better every day and all I can say is THANK GOODNESS! This reading thing is killing me! Killing. Me. There are days when I just want to bang my head on the table. He's such a smart kid (if you don't believe me, just ask him, he'll tell you!), but he's super lazy about reading. Ack!
Here are a sampling of the things we've done over the past few weeks:
made a compass (water, needle, cork)
grew borax crystals
made a gingerbread house (and then ate a large chunk of it)
strung popcorn and cranberries
read most of Despereaux (I read it it to him-we're a little over halfway through)
learned about nomads, and the first farmers of Mesopotamia
caught snowflakes on black paper and studied their shapes
cut out paper snowflakes
made a magnetic paperclip chain
planted seeds and watched them grow
Wow, when I look at the list, we've done quite a lot. And this of course doesn't include daily stuff, like reading, writing, math, German, etc.

Surabaya Container Terminal (TPS) Open 24 Hours Service
JAKARTA – PT Terminal Petikemas Surabaya (TPS), a subsidiary of PT Pelabuhan Indonesia III (Persero), began to implement 24 hours a day guidance service in February 2018.
TPS Technical Director Kartiko Adi said the improvement of guiding services will accelerate the movement of ship arrival and departure. Thus, the time it takes the ship to wait for the scout and wait for the dock can be trimmed.
"In addition, the utilization of the dock is also more optimal.We expect TPS to contribute more to the cost efficiency of logistics in Tanjung Perak Port Surabaya," he said in a press release on Wednesday (14/2/2018).
Kartiko explained that the non-stop guidance service is divided into two working groups with each 24 hour stand-by, starting at 08.00 WIB until the same time the next day. The service will continue until completion during the turn of the guiding team with a maximum of guard hours up to 12.00 WIB.
He continued the aspect of safety and service quality should be ensured so that the trust of the service user is maintained.
As is known, guiding officers play an important role to provide information to the captain of the local water conditions for navigation navigation to run orderly and smooth for the sake of safety of the voyage.

text: Today I'd like to share some photos from another fun engagement session. Here in Southern California we're very luck to have such perfect weather for beach photography late into the fall and winter seasons. When this crossfit couple approached me about shooting at the beach and incorporating their love for fitness and crossfit, I was all in. I love fitness myself and thought it would be fun to shoot something unique. When we got to the location in Oxnard, CA we were pleasantly surprised that the beach park was relatively empty. It felt like we had the whole place to ourselves and that made for some cool shots that I'm normally not able to capture because of the crowds. Aida + Harvey were such great sports as we moved from location to location and they did an excellent job letting their personalities shine. I can't wait to shoot their wedding in June!

Shardul Thakur impressed everyone with his ability to generate bounce and seam from the South African wickets in the couple of matches he played. He picked a four wicket haul in the sixth and final ODI and was good in the two T20Is he played.
Now back from the rainbow nation, Shardul boarded a local train from Andheri station to his home in Palghar and fellow passengers were wondering if it was truly an India player travelling with them.
The Indian Express talked to Shardul about changes in his life since his India debut and IPL. Here are excerpts from the interview.
Talking about his journey from Palghar to Mumbai for cricket practice, Shardul said, "People would often ask me when I'll play for Mumbai and India in the train. Some would taunt me as well saying 'why are you after cricket, itna door se aa ke thodi koi India ke liye khelega. Stop doing time pass'. But I knew what I had to do. I have devoted my life to cricket, and at the same time also finished my graduation."
Talking about the experience of now travelling in the train as a India player, Shardul said, "This time I boarded the train in Andheri after getting off the flight from South Africa. Straight from business class to first-class. I had my headphones on and just wanted to get home soon. But I could sense people in the compartment looking at me and wondering whether I really was "Shardul Thakur". A few college kids then Googled my picture just to be sure and then asked for a selfie. I told all of them to wait till I got off at Palghar. Many were amazed that an India cricketer was traveling with them."
Talking about how he had to prove people wrong from a young age, he explained, "People would taunt me saying "arey yeh mota hai". Again I went back and worked harder. I proved them all wrong the next season, taking wickets when the senior bowlers were away. Next, they said he's not bad with the red-ball but doesn't have the skills with the white ball. But if you see, there isn't much T20 cricket in Mumbai, and even when there is it's played with a red ball.I started practicing a lot with the white-ball then, bowling for the same periods with it as the red-ball. I would replicate match scenarios in practice. Like say with the yorker, I will keep aiming at the base of middle-stump and then try different angles. Whenever there have been doubts over me, I have dealt with them by practicing more."
Shardul explained that he had work on his listening abilities, saying, "I was not a good listener in my teens. There are a lot of instances in my life that changed me as a person. I was really adamant back then and never listened to anyone. I realised it was me who'd failed. In my first Ranji Trophy season in 2012, I was not fit enough. I had good stamina when it came to bowling, but my execution of plans or my fielding weren't up to the mark. Being overweight didn't help. It's then that I told myself, I have to listen to people. I will not be right always. I realized there were some good people who wished well for me, and I actually started jotting down things that I realised I had to work on."
He also shared how different people helped him over the years, saying, "Dinesh Lad (his school coach) is someone I discuss my cricket a lot with. The best part about him is whenever I bring up a failure; he immediately calls it the first step to success. He asks me to focus on why I failed instead. Abhishek Nayar, who's also someone I talk to a lot. If anything do gaali dega mujhe. He keeps telling me about how I'm so talented and why I shouldn't waste my time bothering about things that are not in my control. He taught me how to practise specific things. Wasim Jaffer taught me how to use different angles of the pitch to get wickets."
Talking about his strengths and skills he is learning, Thakur said, "My strength is that I can swing the new ball. I am not focused on bowling at over 140 kph. I'm happy if I can bowl at 137-138 kph and have control over my line and length. It's also about not going all out always. I get the ball to leave the right-hander. In the death, it's all about having skills and executing them. T20 cricket is different, where the situation of the match changes nearly every two balls. You have to be flexible and keep your ego aside. You are making and changing plans out there. I've learnt to bowl the knuckle ball over the last one year. I've also tried learning the leg-cutter from Bhuvi (Kumar)."
Talking about his IPL experiences, Shardul said, "When I was sent back by Kings XI Punjab midway, it didn't sit well with me.It was for the best. I've realised that you can achieve a lot in the Ranji Trophy and nobody watches you, but even one good performance in the IPL and everyone's talking about you.I worked really hard on perfecting my yorker, slower ones and also kept visualizing various scenarios from the bench."

Obsession confession.
I have an obsession with shoes I can't walk in.
Call me an overachiever, or just a plain dumbass...Ever since I set my sights on marrying the Karate Kid, I've loved a challenge, which is why I'm setting my sights on Steve Madden's Champyun Sandals. I'll be feeling like Flo Jo if I can make it through one full day in these kicks without busting my patellas.
I didn't have much luck with my last Olympic challenge, but I'll keep on fighting 'til the end...
Once the leg brace comes off, these babies are mine.
No time for losers, 'cause we are the champyuns...of the shoes.

Legend has it that Jimmy Curry – a meat importer – became obsessed with traditional criollo Argentine barbecues during his travels, even to the point of creating a special sauce that took off like wildfire in popularity. Long after he'd made his fortune and returned home locals were still eating Jimmy's curry, or as it came to be known, chimichurri.
Half of that story may not be true – there are reports that it was really Jimmy McCurry from Ireland, or maybe just some guy named James. But you can count on this. If you're not afraid of a little heat, this sauce will make your tastebuds do the tango over a juicy steak, roast chicken, chorizo, shrimp, baked butternut squash or even your morning eggs.
Chimichurri Recipe (Argentinian Herb Sauce)
- 1 jalapeño about 1/2 ounce,
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano leaves
- 1 teaspoons dried thyme leaves
- 1/2 teaspoon dried rosemary
- about 1/3 cup of extra-virgin olive oil
- 1-1½ teaspoons crushed red pepper
- 1 tablespoon tightly packed coarsely chopped fresh parsley
- 1 to 2 teaspoons finely chopped garlic
- 2 bay leaves
- 2 tablespoons of red wine vinegar or apple cider vinegar
- about 1/2 teaspoon of salt
- freshly cracked black pepper to taste
- Set oven on broil and place jalapeño on top rack. Allow to char on one side (about 3 minutes, then turn over and allow to char on the other side)
- Dice the jalapeño (if you prefer a milder sauce de-seed before doing so)
- Warm oil over very low heat
- Add all ingredients to pan and allow to steep for 30 minutes to an hour

Carrdale have been using domainmonster's domain hosting servers for almost as long as the service existed. We have hundreds of domains safely and securely stored for our clients. Apart from their really excellent service we like the fact that they are on the end of the phone, up there in the North East, and they never play us any dreadful music as almost never have to wait for a phone to be answered.
We have been a reseller for Fasthosts for over a decade. As with domainmonster above we like them because of their 24/7 helpline which is manned somewhere just off the western end of the M4. We honestly can't remember when we had a client's site go down - they're just really solid, great with the technical stuff and allow us to offer a hosting service that we are genuinely proud of.
If you don't have an IT department then setting up emails can be a real nightmare. We can help. We split our email services between domainmonster and fasthosts as both offer a really effective but slightly different service.

Benjamin Bathurst, wherever and however he went, left behind a wife and three children – a son and two daughters.
The middle child, Rosa, was known as the 'the Angel Girl' for her beauty and grace. In the Roman season of 1823-1824, she was staying with her uncle and aunt, Lord and Lady Aylmer, at their home in Rome. It had been a particularly severe winter, so Spring was gratefully welcomed and on the morning of March 16th 1824, the Aylmers, their niece and the Duc de Montmorency-Laval, the French Ambassador, gathered to enjoy a ride on the Campagna. When the horses were brought out, it was noticed that Lord Aylmer's was lame, so Montmorency kindly offered to lend a horse to the Lord. Aylmer, who was recovering from a recent illness, was disinclined to risk taking their planned ride on an unfamiliar mount, so it was decided that the party would take a gentler route. Montmorency's groom dismounted and gave his horse to Aylmer, then left on foot for the French embassy where he would take another horse, arranging to meet the rest later at the Ponte Molle.
|Rosa Bathurst
With Rosa and Montmorency out in front, and Lord and Lady Aylmer following, with a nervous English girl who was also staying with Lady Aylmer, and her English groom, bringing up the rear, the riders made their way round by Villa Borghese and by the Austrian College, a longer route which would give the Duc's man time to make his rendezvous. The younger riders were keen to ride their horses at a canter, so the Duc offered to guide them through a vineyard to some open land, but when they arrived at it, the gate to the vineyard was unexpectedly locked. The Duc knew of a narrow path around the vineyard, between it and the river Tiber, and he led them to it, going in front with Lord Aylmer, Rosa following, with Lady Aylmer and the nervous English girl and her groom at the rear. Lady Aylmer asked the girl to dismount and lead her horse along the narrow path, which was overhung with bushes and wound from side to side.
|English Tourists on the Campagna
Lord Aylmer had ridden back, to assure the women that only a few yards ahead the path widened and was much easier going, but as he did so, Rosa's horse took fright and tried to turn around. Lady Aylmer called out to Rosa, warning her not to let the mare turn, but it was halfway round when it lost its footing and it started to slide off the path and down the steep bank into the Tiber. Lady Aylmer jumped from her horse and tried to grab Rosa, but it was too late. Still in the saddle, Rosa fell into the river, which was swollen with Spring melt water from the mountains and running in spate. Still in his coat, Lord Aylmer dived into the waters and attempted to reach his niece, but the flow was too strong for him, although he was a good swimmer he had been weakened by his recent illness. He made for the shore, stripped off his coat and waistcoat and went back in, but the girl was gone. Lady Aylmer ordered the nervous English girl and her groom back to Rome, to raise the alarm, and, their own horses having run off, the Aylmers set off on foot for the Ponte Molle.
|Ponte Molle by Piranesi
The Duc, suspecting nothing, had ridden ahead to meet his groom. In great distress, with old Lord Aylmer suffering from the cold and wet and from his great exertions, the couple stumbled on, until they met Lady Coventry, whom in their grief they barely recognised, who rode ahead and returned with a carriage, into which they were hardly able to mount. Lady Aylmer lay upon her husband, to try to warm him, and they were brought to home, where the servants cut off his sodden clothes and got him into bed. It was many months before he fully recovered. Boats were sent out to search for Rosa, and the Duke of Devonshire organised men to look for her. A reward of £50 was posted, but there was no sign of the girl. Roman society went into mourning, and many elegiac verses were written about the tragic loss. The Aylmers felt they could no longer live in Rome, so with Mrs Bathurst and Emmeline, her remaining daughter, they retired to Geneva.
"Beneath this stone are interred the remains of Rosa Bathurst who was accidentally drowned in the Tiber on the 16th March 1824, whilst on a riding-party, owing to the swollen state of the river and her spirited horse taking fright. She was the daughter of Benjamin Bathurst, whose disappearance when on a special mission to Vienna some years since was as tragical as it is unaccountable—no positive account of his death ever having been received by his distracted wife. His daughter, who inherited her father's perfections, both personal and mental, had completed her sixteenth year when she perished by as disastrous a fate."
