What is Postharvest Loss and Why is it a Global Issue?
Biological Engineering Department here at the University of Illinois.
I have been here for the last 15 years.
My professional background is mostly in water and sustainability.
I started working recently on postharvest losses and prevention.
we call it ADM Institute for the Prevention of Postharvest Loss.
We want to start with some introduction of the postharvest losses.
Why do we have to worry about it or what are we going to do about it?
How is that related to our lives?
How is that related to our society?
we'll not have enough food to feed everybody.
we have to increase our production by 70% or so to feed the people.
How do we arrange that?
How do we manage to feed the people?
Many of us are here at the university, the land grant university.
We are pioneers in agricultural production.
We have helped solving many problems in many parts of the world.
So we come back to the agriculture.
That is the key to alleviate the global food problem out there.
The answer is we need to increase the production to feed these people.
Are we limited by anything?
that means the land we use to produce crops, are very limited.
We all know how limited water and energy is.
then rest is into your domestic and industrial purpose.
which is about the size of Canada and the US.
We don't have that much land.
to feed the people, we need more food.
On the other hand, our resources are limited.
We probably are limited to increase food production.
By 2050, we'll have 9 million people.
How do we feed them?
that we are going to help, that we want to talk to you about.
the PostHarvest Loss Prevention comes into picture.
What is postharvest loss and why should we be worried about it?
all food that we produce is lost or wasted.
Food Waste, and that's where they put all this data that they found from this study.
That sparked the interest of the whole global community.
What's the difference between postharvest loss and waste?
from harvesting of the crop all the way to the retail.
The waste is when the losses happen at the consumer level.
and you don't need to eat all that and then you waste it.
So that's a small example out there.
happens at many different levels in different countries.
food loss at consumer level.
of more postharvest laws that happens from production to retailing out there.
they may not be able to harvest that crop at the right time.
maybe the owner is sick during the time of the harvest.
then they don't have the mechanism to dry that crop.
you lose a signficant percent.
Then they don't have the storage facilities.
a significant percent of your crop that you put in the capacity will be lost.
the market, the small holder farmers, many of them don't have the market facility.
food sale pricing and all those kind of things.
are all these different grains have the similar kind of losses?
Let's talk about just South and Southeast Asia.
Look at this, the losses are different for different crops.
vegetable, than in cereal out there.
Look at the next one.
drying, storage, and milling in China versus rest of Asia.
storage, significant need for milling the production losses out there.
than rest of Asia, so you see that lower than the rest of others are.
you compare that, in the same proportion their losses are also very high.
postharvest loss of black grain, this is kind of a lentil in India.
mechanized, they might have mechanized agriculture.
it's a very advanced city compared to many of the other Indian cities.
Madhya Pradesh is in the central state in India.
This is relatively low economy and they do not have many of the industries there.
for the simple reason, they do not have mechanized harvesting.
They don't have the machines.
Many of these things probably is done by the farmers there.
different regions, look at the drying losses are much higher there.
There could be many different factors that are going into that.
It's a very complicated systems when you look at the postharvest loss.
The reason I wanted to show you just only to make one thing clear.
one food in one country in two different locations, you cannot generalize.
It's a very complicated system.
population grows at the current rate and if we do not increase our production.
because we do not have enough resources to grow more food.
Land is limited, water is limited, energy is limited.
So that's our second message.
smaller than the investment otherwise we'll need to produce more food.
I haven't talked much about the business.
I haven't talked much about the market.
India or in the US.
In many parts of the world, even if the technology is there, people do not use it.
a significant amount of crop from lack of drying because simply, they do not know.
Education is the prime limitation.
Information is not given to farmers, given to people out there.
or for policy makers, or for practitioners.
if everyone can contribute a little bit, we are going to solve a big problem.
Let's say we lose 30% of the crop today.
we feed many many million people in the world.
The purpose of this course is to bring that sensation among people.
That means we need to do something.
We just can't let this food get lost or be wasted out there.
Let's everybody do something and save some of the food.
of the population growth, we'll be contributing to our humanity.

Changes at Lake Pend Oreille
Join Mark Niemann-Ross for an in-depth discussion in this video Changes at Lake Pend Oreille, part of Code Clinic: R (2015).
- There was an unexpected change while I was working…on this problem.…The administrator of the Lake Pend Oreille website…changed the format of the data.…My original solution contained all the code necessary…to read the original formatted data,…but when the format changed, I had to refactor my code.…I decided to abstract out the data access…into a separate object, something I should have done…to start with.…I'll show you both solutions.…
This is called refactoring and it's important…that when you do this, the code doesn't change behavior.…The cleanest way to abstract database access…is to create an object with Create, Read, Update,…and Delete functions referred to as CRUD.…R has three types of objects referred to as…S3, S4, and Reference Classes.…I won't go into depth on writing classes,…but I will mention that I created an S3 class.…
In a later video, I'll show you that class in detail.…I also wrote some unit tests…that should produce correct answers.…I also wrote some tests that should fail.…For more details on unit testing,…
Mark Niemann-Ross
Successful programmers know more than a computer language. They also know how to think about solving problems. They use "computational thinking": breaking a problem down into segments that lend themselves to technical solutions. Code Clinic is a series of ten courses where authors solve the same problems using different programming languages. Here, Mark Niemann-Ross works with R.
Mark introduces challenges and then provides an overview of his solutions in R. Challenges include topics such as statistical analysis, searching directories for images, and accessing peripheral devices.
Visit other courses in the series to see how to solve the exact same challenges in languages like C++, C#, JavaScript, PHP, Python, Ruby, and Swift.
Q: R Studio tells me that it can't find files I expect to be available. Where can I find them?
A: Use the setwd() command to set the working directory to match the folder you're working in.
Q: I am unable to access the Lake Pend Oreille data from outside the U.S.
A: A static copy of this data is provided here for lynda.com members outside of the U.S.

Synopsis
La série met en scène le détective Simon Archard, génie au caractère froid, et son assistante Emma Bishop, au caractère affirmé et qui cherche à être reconnue comme associée par Archard, sur un monde ressemblant beaucoup à l'Angleterre de Sherlock Holmes.
Mais Emma Bishop est dotée du pouvoir de figer le temps et semble avoir pour mission de faire d'Archard un être plus sensible, tandis qu'Archard dissimule ses propres secrets.
Ils mènent donc leurs enquêtes en se chamaillant, au Clair de lune, au milieu d'une faune picaresque - dont les agents d'Archard - faisant face à plusieurs adversaires redoutables.

La série se distingue puisque aucun des deux personnages principaux ne porte de Sigil, ni aucun signe d'appartenance aux First, mais le personnage de Miranda Cross et le prisme énigmatique prouvent qu'elle se déroule pourtant bien dans l'univers du Sigil.

À noter
La série fera également l'objet de trois one-shots dérivés : Archard's Agents: A Most Convenient Murder, Archard's Agents: The Case of the Puzzled Pugilist, Archard's Agents: Deadly Dare, mettant en scène les assistants d'Archard.

Publications
Les numéros 1 à 16 (moins le 6) de la série ont été traduits en France par Semic dans trois albums à l'italienne.

Orter i Thüringen


A rose in bud, sits precariously on the ledge over a chasm, yet the rose lifts its head towards the planets of the universe. A bee, the rose's friend and nature's tool of fertilising and procreation of plant life on earth seems to be beckoning the rose to step out and explore its possibilities. The promise of the adventure in growth and learning is the lighted path that weaves effortlessly between the planets, guiding the way towards the promise of the rose's ultimate goal in the fulfilment of its destiny: to be strong open and beautiful.
The fool symbolises the beginnings of a new karmic journey, being a new soul lesson along the path of reaching Nirvana. (Nirvana is a place of perfect peace and happiness, like heaven. In Hinduism and Buddhism, Nirvana is the highest state that someone can attain, a state of enlightenment) It is taught that we live many lifetimes, and within those lifetimes are many karmic teachings towards mastery or the place of Heaven where we don't need to re-incarnate again.
The fool starts out in naivety and trust for sometimes if we knew of the challenges we would face, we may never start out. This is the message to put our trust in our higher purpose and know that we will get the help and support we need to reach our spiritual and earthly maturity in strength, knowledge and wisdom. It is an exciting card to see: for we know that a new adventure, project or phase of life is beginning in hope and trust.
Being too trusting and taking the leap without some sort of destination in mind. "Jumping from the fying pan into the fire,": perhaps leaving or setting out on the impulse influenced by a strong negative emotion : fear.

Defense rests without calling Edwards, his daughter or mistress
By Tara Palmeri
Cate Edwards walks out of a federal courthouse with her father, John Edwards on Tuesday. AP
GREENSBORO, NC — John Edwards' defense team abruptly rested its case today without calling the one-time Democratic presidential hopeful, his dutiful daughter Cate or zany mistress Rielle Hunter to the stand.
Instead, both the defense and prosecution agreed to a number of stipulations — clarifying various points of evidence introduced over the past three weeks — from the time that Hunter conceived Edwards's love child to the efforts his former top aide Andrew Young made to sell a sex tape of his former boss.
Edwards defense team rested after just two days despite the two weeks-worth of witnesses presented by the prosecutors who accused the former senator and 2008 Democratic presidential candidate of violating campaign finance laws in an effort to hide Hunter from the public.
The defense had called witnesses aimed at shifting the jury's focus from the lurid details of a political sex scandal to the legal question of whether the Edwards' actions violated federal campaign finance laws.
Abbe Lowell, Edward's lead defense counsel, said yesterday he was considering putting Edwards himself on the stand. He also hinted at calling Hunter and Cate.
But, outside observers said putting them on the stand would put the focus back on the details of the tawdry affair rather than how the $1 million in donations from two well-heeled backers were solicited and spent.
Closing arguments could come as early as Wednesday afternoon.
Edwards has pleaded not guilty to six criminal counts including conspiracy to violate the Federal Election Campaign Act, accepting contributions that exceeded campaign finance limits, and causing his campaign to file a false financial disclosure report.
He faces up to 30 years in prison and $1.5 million in fines if convicted of all charges.
A graduate of the University of North Carolina law school, John Edwards made his fortune handling medical malpractice and corporate negligence cases before turning to politics following the death of his 16-year-old son Wade in a 1996 auto accident. Edwards was elected to the U.S. Senate in 1998 and was John Kerry's running mate in 2004.
Edwards' wife, Elizabeth, died of cancer in December 2010. He is now a single parent of two school-aged children, ages 13 and 11, who live with their father at the family's gated estate outside Chapel Hill. Edwards' 30-year-old daughter Cate is a lawyer who married last year.
After years of denials, Edwards admitted fathering his Hunter's baby in January 2010, shortly after agreeing to pay child support. The girl, now 4, lives with her mother in Charlotte.

New Ice Cores Help Create More Accurate Climate Models
Drilling deep into the seabed below the Antarctic ice is allowing scientists insight into climate changes spanning literally millions of years. Newly recovered cores are filled with an abundance of information about Antarctica's ice sheet and climate history.
Frequent climate fluctuations on the world's southernmost continent have been so extreme over the past 5 million years that Antarctica's Ross Ice Shelf, a floating slab of ice the size of France, oscillated in size dramatically, and perhaps even disappeared for periods of time when the West Antarctic Ice Sheet may have been smaller, according to scientists engaged in an unprecedented international geologic drilling project.
Researchers with the Antarctic Geological Drilling (ANDRILL) Program, which concluded its first field season in January, say long cores of sedimentary rocks that they recovered from below the bed of the Ross Sea beneath the ice shelf allow them to peer deeply into the past to a time when Antarctica was a warmer, more inviting place.
They were surprised, for example, to find such large volumes of fossil diatoms – microscopic single-celled algae that live in surface or shallow waters – in the cores. The presence of the fossilized one-cell creatures, some of them previously unknown to science, confirms that large areas of the Ross Ice Shelf have previously melted and were replaced with highly productive open waters.
Studies of the cores may provide scientists with glimpses into the planet's future if predictions of global temperature increases are accurate. Either way, they say, data from the cores will help create more accurate climate models for predicting future trends.
"We recovered a superb, unique geologic record that scientists will be using as a benchmark for decades to come as we wrestle with trying to predict how global warming will impact the world's oceans and our lives," says Ross Powell, a Northern Illinois University geologist.
Powell and Tim Naish, of New Zealand's Victoria University of Wellington, served as co-chief scientists for the first season of the $30-million ANDRILL Program. A second drilling operation will begin at another location next fall (during the Antarctic spring) under co-chief scientists David Harwood of the University of Nebraska-Lincoln and Fabio Florindo of Italy's National Institute of Geophysics and Vulcanlogy.
Filled with an abundance of information about Antarctica's ice sheet and climate history, the newly recovered rock core stretches more than three-quarters of a mile in length. It tells the story of episodic changes of the Ross Ice Shelf and the ice sheets feeding it, with more than 50 oscillations in the ice margin over the last 10 million years.
Some intervals when the ice shelf disappeared were probably during past times when our planet was 3.6 degrees F to 5.4 degrees F warmer than it is today – "much like it is predicted to be in the next 50 to 100 years by many climate models," Naish notes.
"If we're going through this 2- to 3-degree (Celsius) warming in the next century, as has been predicted, we want to get a sense of how the ice sheet will react – and how fast it will react – by looking at what it has done in the past," Powell adds. "The world was only about 5 to 6 degrees warmer (Celsius) on average when there was no ice on the Antarctic at all. A couple degrees change can lead to quite dramatic changes across the world."
Antarctica New Zealand, which develops, manages and administers the country's Antarctic activities, ran the on-ice drilling operations and logistics on behalf of the ANDRILL partner nations – the United States, New Zealand, Italy and Germany.
The ANDRILL Science Management Office at UNL coordinated U.S. science planning. The National Science Foundation, which manages the U.S. Antarctic Program, provides about $20 million in support of the $30 million project, which is a focal point during International Polar Year, a worldwide campaign of polar education, field research and analyses.
"ANDRILL is one of the crown jewels of our International Polar Year portfolio," says Thomas Wagner, program director for the U.S. Antarctic Program's geology and geophysics program. "It embodies the spirit of IPY with its international partnerships and scientific focus on the role of Antarctica in the global system of climate."
At a site on the Ross Ice Shelf, ANDRILL operators melted an access hole through 278 feet of ice and dropped the drill bit through another 2,755 feet of seawater, before coring eight-tenths of a mile below the seabed on the continental shelf.
The core will reveal information about water temperatures and ice-sheet and ice-shelf dynamics over about the past 10 million years.
A massive ice sheet covers Antarctica today, while ice shelves, fed by fast-flowing streams of ice within the ice sheet, are large floating bodies of ice. Ice shelves are extremely sensitive early indicators of climate change. The Ross Ice Shelf is the world's largest ice shelf and is prone to increased melting from warming oceans. Scientists believe its demise would be an important precursor to eventual collapse of the entire West Antarctic Ice Sheet.
About 90 percent of the world's ice volume is in the Antarctic. The disappearance of even its smaller West Antarctic Ice Sheet could raise worldwide sea levels by an estimated 20 feet.
"By studying the core, our scientists can tell when ice was grounded and sitting directly on the seabed, when the Ross Ice Shelf was fully over the site and floating in the water, when there was open water with icebergs, and when there were no icebergs," Powell says. The greatest detail in the core covers a period from 1 million to 5 million years ago.
"By integrating this critical new climate information from the core into ice sheet computer models, we should be able to say just how extensive was the loss of ice in West Antarctica during warmer times in the past," Naish adds.
Scientists were surprised by the wealth of diatoms – single-celled algae – which evolved rapidly and eventually were deposited on the ocean floor. The variety of diatoms, which leave behind glass-like shells that accumulate over time in layers, is a key indicator of past water temperatures. About one-third of the upper 2,000 feet of core, which covers a time period going back roughly 5 million years, is rich in diatoms.
It will take years for scientists, post-doctoral researchers and students from across the world to unravel the many mysteries of the core, which will be stored at Florida State University's Antarctic Marine Geology Research Facility. They now are working to correlate the new information to what was occurring in the climate in other parts of the world. Other climate records include deep-ocean geologic cores, which provide climate information from other parts of the world, and global sea-level records, which can be inferred from sedimentary deposits and erosion surfaces on continental shelves.

Reading Women in Translation #WITMonth
August is the month when the annual reading challenge #WITMonth or Reading Women in Translation takes place, initially begun three years ago by Meytal at Biblibio.
I'm not a big fan or participant of reading challenges or lists, as I love changing my mind and being spontaneous about what I read next, however I do like to follow this one and read the reviews and keep up with what is being published as well as reading more of those I have discovered. And this is a challenge that is making a big difference in the reading and publishing world, so the more we read and demand books like these, the more expansive the selection will become.
I recently wrote an article about how I have become quite a fan of reading literature in translation, which was published by Tilted Axis Press in their lead up to WIT Month. If you haven't read it already, you can do so by following the link here. At the end of the article I mention a number of titles I've really enjoyed, with links to my reviews. Reading in Translation, A Literary Revolution.
This year I'll be reading a few titles from my current bookshelves and another title from one of my favourite authors Maryse Condé. Below is a summary of the author, translator, the language translated and what each book promises:
The Complete Claudine by Colette tr. Antonia White (French) – Colette began her writing career with Claudine at School, which catapulted the young author into instant, sensational success. Among the most autobiographical of Colette's works, these four novels are dominated by the child-woman Claudine, whose strength, humour, and zest for living make her a symbol for the life force.
Selected Letters by Madame Sévigne (Marie de Rabutin-Chantal de Sévigné) tr. Leonard Tancock (French) – One of the world's greatest correspondents, Madame de Sevigne (1626-96) paints a vivid picture of France at the time of Louis XIV, in eloquent letters written throughout her life to family and friends. A significant figure in French society and literary circles, her close friends included Madame de La Fayette and La Rochefoucauld, she reflected on significant historical events and personal issues, and in this selection spanning almost 50 yrs, she can be humorous, melancholic, profound and superficial. Whether describing the new plays of Racine and Moliere, speculating on court scandals including the intrigues of the King's mistresses or relating her own family concerns, Madame de Sevigne provides an intriguing portrait of the lost age of Le Roi Soleil.
Iza's Ballad by Magda Szabó tr. George Szirtes (Hungarian) – When Ettie's husband dies, her daughter Iza insists her mother give up the family house in the countryside and move to Budapest. Displaced from her community and her home, Ettie tries to find her place in this new life, but can't seem to get it right. She irritates the maid, hangs food outside the window because she mistrusts the fridge and, in her naivety and loneliness, invites a prostitute in for tea. Iza's Ballad is the story of a woman who loses her life's companion and a mother trying to get close to a daughter whom she has never truly known. It is about the meeting of the old-fashioned and the modern worlds and the beliefs we construct over a lifetime.
Troubling Love by Elena Ferrante tr. Ann Goldstein (Italian) – Following her mother's untimely and mysterious death, Delia embarks on a voyage of discovery through the streets of her native Naples searching for the truth about her family. A series of mysterious telephone calls leads her to compelling and disturbing revelations about her mother's final days. I'm keen to try this after reading all about it in Ferrante's nonfiction book Frantumaglia, which I read and reviewed earlier this year.
Maryse Condé
Ever since discovering Maryse Condé via the old style Man Booker International Prize, when it was a two yearly prize for an author's entire works, I've been reading through her novels and stories, as suggested by the author I started with her Tales From the Heart: True Stories from My Childhood, Victoire: My Mother's Mother, Segu, and A Season in Rihata.
These are the books I still have on the shelf, and I'm already halfway into the novel the author said at a visit to our local library last year was the favourite of her novels, The Story of the Cannibal Woman, set in Cape Town, and centering on the life of a widow of a multicultural couple, reminding me of the character Hortensia in Yewande Omotoso's excellent The Woman Next Door, which I just finished reading.
The Story of the Cannibal Woman – One dark night in Cape Town, Roselie's husband goes out for a pack of cigarettes and never comes back. Not only is she left with unanswered questions about his violent death but she is also left without any means of support. At the urging of her housekeeper and best friend, the new widow decides to take advantage of the strange gifts she has always possessed and embarks on a career as a clairvoyant. As Roselie builds a new life for herself and seeks the truth about her husband's murder, Conde crafts a deft exploration of post-apartheid South Africa and a smart, gripping thriller.
Crossing the Mangrove – Francis Sancher, a handsome outsider, loved by some and reviled by others, is found dead, face down in the mud on a path outside Riviere au Sel, a small village in Guadeloupe. None of the villagers are particularly surprised, since Sancher, a secretive and melancholy man, had often predicted an unnatural death for himself. As the villagers come to pay their respects they each, either in a speech to the mourners, or in an internal monologue, reveal another piece of the mystery behind Sancher's life and death. Retaining the full colour and vibrancy of Conde's homeland, Crossing the Mangrove pays homage to Guadeloupe in both subject and structure.
Children of Segu – Sequel to her masterpiece Segu, this fascinating story continues as brother fights brother and the powers of the globe threaten to change their world forever. If you enjoyed Homegoing By Yaa Gyasi, defintiely check out Segu.
Conversations With Maryse Condé by Françoise Pfaff– an exploration of the life and art of Maryse Condé, including conversations about Condé's geographical sojourns and literary paths, her personality, and her thoughts. Their conversations reveal connections between Condé's vivid art and her eventful, passionate life. In her encounters with historical and literary figures, and in her opinions on politics and culture, Condé appears as an engaging witness to her time. The conversations frequently sparkle with humour; at other moments they are infused with profound seriousness.
Maryse Condé was born in Guadeloupe, the youngest of eight children and her essays of childhood provide an excellent base for understanding the motivations that underpin much of her writing, firstly to get to know her family influences and aspirations and why she knew nothing of their origins (a past and ancestral pattern her mother was desperate for them to leave behind), her discovery of the turning points in the history of the Kingdom of Segu in Africa and the exploration of racial, gender and cultural issues in a variety of historical eras and locales, often focused on topics with strong feminist and political concerns. As she herself said:
"I could not write anything… unless it has a certain political significance. I have nothing else to offer that remains important." extract from an interview with Rebecca Wolff

A man convicted of manslaughter in 2011 objected to the prosecution filing a restitution request six years after he was sentenced, arguing that the prosecution should have brought up the restitution issue when he was initially sentenced.
Jimmy Chin Song was sentenced to 12 years behind bars, with five of those years suspended, leaving seven years of prison time for him to serve. His attorney, F. Randall Cunliffe, said at a hearing on Tuesday that Song is slated to be released later this year.
Song was convicted in the death of Yun Mo James Ku, according to Pacific Daily News files. Song punched Ku during an argument outside Sing-A-Song Café in Harmon, files state. Ku went home but later fell into a coma and never woke up, files state. He was later taken off life support, and Song was charged with manslaughter.
A jury found Song guilty of manslaughter as a first-degree felony and aggravated assault as a third-degree felony.
In August last year, the prosecution filed a restitution summary with information from Ku's mother, Young Sook Ku, seeking restitution for outstanding medical bills, court documents state.
Young Sook Ku said Staywell Insurance hasn't made any payments to her son's bills, documents state. She suffered a loss because of her son's death, the prosecution stated in their court filings.
She "is claiming restitution for the cost of her medical treatments she incurred as a result of her son's death, which is within the intent of the law," the prosecution stated.

Cunliffe said in his filings that that the court doesn't have the authority now to order Song to pay restitution, seven years after he was initially sentenced.
Cunliffe also stated that there's no indication if any insurance was paid and said some of bills are for the mother and said that shouldn't be part of of restitution.
"Restitution is a portion of sentencing and Mr. Song has almost served his complete seven-year sentence in this case. He's to be released later this year" Cunliffe said. "It's our position…the court no longer has authority to sentence Mr. Song to pay restitution in this case."
Assistant Attorney General James Collins said there's nothing in the law that gives time limitations for filing restitution claims.
Among the restitution filings is a statement of account from Guam Memorial Hospital Authority which shows Yun Mo Ku has a balance of over $20,000.
Young Sook Ku had the opportunity to get insurance to pay for hospital bills or could've sued Song in a civil lawsuit, Cunliffe said. "All these bills are dated June, July, August 2011," Cunliffe said. "The government is trying to (get) more than $20,000 in restitution against Mr. Song seven years after the fact."
Judge Vernon Perez on Tuesday said he will take the matter under advisement and issue a decision later.

Zoomkube will introduce facial-recognition software and social media monitoring capabilities to its cloud platform that will allow brands to serve real-time offers and content on a monitor in retail stores, based on the consumer's appearance and behavior.
Retailers and brands fret about an inability to interact with consumers via technology in stores other than on their mobile device. This technology bridges the gap between brand and consumer. It relies on three video cameras that take an image of the person standing in front of the monitor, and a partnership with an unnamed third-party facial recognition software company. The platform takes a picture and compares the image with thousands of others in a database, allowing the brand to determine gender, age and appearance.
A person with curly hair would see a shampoo specific for that type, and other products from that packaged goods company, according to Christian Mouritzen, vice president at Zoomkube. Entering in an email address on the touchscreen would opt in the consumer, give consumers coupons for specials, enable the brand to build a lead-generation database and analyze information reported by potential or existing customers.
A call to action on the screen would enable the consumer to opt in. The consumer enters their email address after seeing the content. The facial recognition software would measure the points on the person's face to determine the types of products to serve, similar to the technology inside Microsoft Kinect. The consumer would also confirm they are interested in future offers.
The technology can also track what the person looks at on the screen.
NFC, or near field communications, would enable the screen to recognize the phone number, but the consumer would need to opt in first.
Launched in March, 2013, Zoomkube ZK100 allows brands to generate and measure content through a 55″ digital stand-alone kiosk that will allow a third party to integrate the technology into existing campaigns. Corporate advisors for the company include Coca-Cola and Procter & Gamble, along with corporate partners Campbell's, ESPN, Ericsson, Lowes and Merck.

Give Obama's favourite robotic toys, the Sphero Mini and BB-8 droid a Spin!
Give Obama's favourite Sphero A Spin!
Did you always crave a cool and personal droid? While enjoying the company of a human sized robot might be a distant dream, you can get started by purchasing mini droid toys that look like cute balls right away!
Sphero — a company that fuses robotics and digital technology to enhance connected play experience — has brought its toys to India now. The brand is quite popular among robotic toy lovers (even former US President Barack Obama has tried his hand at a Sphero toy!). It has been launched in India by Luxury Personified, a leading distributor of luxury accessories and electronics in the country.
It is banking on the popularity of two particular Sphero models to drive its sales — the Sphero Mini and Star Wars: BB-8 droid. Both devices are compact, user-friendly and can be controlled using a smartphone or tablet and are expected to revolutionise the luxury toy market in India.
Before it branched out to other toys, Sphero was known for making robotic balls— popularly known as the Sphero Minis. Its latest release has gone through a lot of upgrades that pack quite a 'technical' punch in a pocket-friendly size.
The latest Sphero Mini, which looks similar to a ping-pong ball, comes in vibrant colours of orange, blue, white, green and pink. Just like a Kinder Joy egg, the shell opens in two halves, which means you can keep experimenting with colours by buying separate shells. Inside, a gyroscope and an accelerometer help it roll 360 degrees.
It's simply a robotic ball that can be controlled by an app on your phone (works both on Android and iOS). With the app, you can remote-control the ball through a lot of play modes—you can use it as a video game controller that lets the ball roll, tilt, move back and forth and accomplish tasks. And if your fingers are tired, you can drive the ball with your facial expressions through its mugshot recognizing software.
What's more? It comes with a set of mini-bowling pins and tiny orange traffic cones. So, if you are ever in a mood for an impromptu obstacle game or a round of bowling, you can just set it up at your desk and have fun!
It's too early to say whether it is as durable as its bigger versions but according to reviewers it stays intact if it falls off a table. On the downside though, it is not waterproof and doesn't have inductive charging. You will need to charge it via a micro-USB that connects to the inner motor once you pop open the shell. A fully charged ball lasts for 45 minutes of game play. The Sphero Mini is priced at Rs 5,000 and can be bought here.
If you like robots and Star Wars, then the BB-8 can be your new best friend. Ask it how it is doing and it will do a small dance for you! You can connect it with an app on your phone (compatible with both iOS and Android) and control it with voice commands. It understands phrases like 'look around', 'wake up', 'go to sleep' and responds in different ways through sound, light and motion. You can also record a video on your device and sync it with the app to see an augmented reality projection of it on your BB-8.
What makes it unique from other droids is that it has an 'adaptive personality'. As it moves, it records data of its acceleration, obstacles and boundaries, which helps it manoeuvre across different rooms autonomously and set itself free from 'traps'.
If you are in the mood for binge watching Star Wars: The Force Awakens and Rogue One: A Star Wars Story then you can switch on its 'watch with me' feature.
Play the movie and enjoy the droid's simultaneous reactions with its adorable 'beeps' and head turns.
Because of its spherical design, it runs smoothly on many surfaces including sand and indoor carpets. The BB-8's head is detachable and is held with magnets. There are buttons on it boost speed, patrol its perimeter and move in specific motions. Also on offer at the Luxury Personified store are the Sphero Spiderman, Sphero Sprk+ and the Sphero R2-D2 droid among others. You can buy the Star Wars: BB-8 Rs. 11,000 here. Owning a toy was never this cool!

Crew Mom: Garrett is one whole hand!
Garrett turned 5 years old last month! He is such a smart, amazing little guy. Can I still call him little now? I am constantly astonished by his imagination and vocabulary. Garrett loves to tell jokes and make up stories. Most of his stories involve superheros of some kind, saving the Earth. More and more, the superheros are also named Garrett. Mark and I really chose well when we named him. He loves his name!
Do we have to take another pic? I want to eat cake!
So excited to get this from Memo and Papa!
Funny photo-op with brother and sister.


Traditional house high up in the pretty village on top of a mountain near Colmeal, in Góis council, central Portugal. The property is walled all around, and on the land there are vines, olive trees, fruit trees, and a water tank of approx. 27,000 liters that can also be used as a swimming pool. Beneath the shade of the grapevines beside the tank there is a marble-topped table. A flight of steps leads up to a little veranda in front of the main entrance into a passageway, which opens into a kitchen with a tiled floor, equipped with a washing-machine, double sink, and fitted cupboards. Besides this is a dining-room with a floor of wooden tiles, furnished with a sideboard and dining table and chairs. Beyond is the living-room, also with a wooden-tiled floor, table and 3-piece suite. The passageway continues to 2 double bedrooms with wooden-tiled floors, and a part-tiled bathroom with bath. On the ground floor, the basement is open-plan with exposed brickwork, divided into areas for a kitchen and dining, with 2 entrance doors and 2 windows, and a WC. The property has double-glazed windows and aluminum blinds throughout, and enjoys wonderful views across the surrounding hills and villages. It is just 3 km from some excellent river beaches on the Ceira, 4km from the cafés of Colmeal, and 15km from all the amenities of Góis. The property is well-finished and comfortable and would make and excellent holiday or permanent home.

2013's Random List
It's that time of year again when I get to look back over the last twelve months and put up the obligatory 'best of' post that music blogs love to feature so much.
As usual I'll aim to pick out tracks and artists that many other websites may have looked over, as well as some of the more obvious milestones. Let me know what you think of my choices. After all, it's you guys who keep me so motivated to keep hunting for new music all the time. Before I start, check out previous random lists here!
Most definitive song of the year
Lorde – 'Royals'. There's something mildly terrifying about this teen talent, and her ability to sum up her youth in a standard pop track. This will be a classic for decades to come, it's just so different to any of the big hits that have come out so far in the last few years.
MDNGHT – Not many have heard of this Mancunian collective but if anything, I am confident they will pick up buzz over the next year.
Biggest Scandinavian talent
Kim Cesarion – This Swedish talent has already taken Scandinavia by storm. I saw him play a showcase in London over the summer and it was as close to pop perfection as you could get. You could be surprised for seeing me not put Icona Pop under this category; but you know, they've been around for a good while longer.
Cutest act
Broods – This duo set the blog world on fire after releasing just one track blending indie and electro seamlessly. And on a completely shallow note, how cute!
Catchiest track
NONONO – 'Pumping Blood'. NONONO have had as epic a year as they could get. This Scandinavian trio have made one of the biggest impacts in terms of exports from the region, thanks in large to this track.
Biggest #fail that should have been a #win
MKS (a.k.a Mutya Keisha Siobhan, a.k.a The Origibabes) – This should have been their big comeback. And on paper, there's no reason why it tanked so hard. They picked a shit-hot producer while managing to prove that they could still hold harmonies like no other girl group. But I guess the song was probably too 'out-there' to have made a loud enough impact. Still, there is a silver lining for these guys later on in this post…
2014's new 'Lana'
Fe – She could be as popular as original Lana Del Rey. I predict Fe to catch some more buzz in 2014. She has a genuine, beautiful talent which is well worth a listen.
Wildest cat in town
Lion Babe – Literally, this lady goes for the 'wild' theme. Which is OK, since she does a great job of it. On a serious note though, what a sound!
Most trademark hipster Scandi sound
Postiljonen – Make no mistake, being introduced to his band has been one of my highlights this year. Their sound is pure perfection in my view and when I caught them live at the Ja Ja Ja Festival in London earlier this year it was probably a highlight for me gig-wise. This re-working of a Whitney Houston classic is amazing.
Biggest bang(erz)
Miley Cyrus – Love or hate her, you just can't deny that this little lady has been all over the place. She knows she's not changing the world with her songs. So what else can she do? She'll just have fun with it. And there's a charming likeability in that. I mean, look at this post – she's sandwiched between one of the edgiest acts of the year (Postiljonen, above), and one of the best songs of the year (Sailor & I, below). Two categories she'll probably never be in, ever, but she's still spreading herself on here. And that's ok…
Most epic track
Sailor & I – 'Tough Love'. A real heart-stopper of a track that's nothing short of stunning.
Most feel-good
Join The Riot – Again, another Scandi act makes it on this list. Nothing but good cheeky pop from this group.
Quirkiest act
Manou – This lady is one of my big 'ones to watch'. I can't describe her sound. Quirky, I guess. So good though.
Best slice of Norwegian rap
Lars Vaular – 'Legender'. It's one of those songs that sounds pretty dark, but still manages to sound easy enough to enjoy. Even if you're not Norwegian.
Best trooper
Aiden Grimshaw – Following on from making one of the best and least brought pop records from a major label in 2012, this year saw the guy ditch his surname and now go under the moniker AIDEN.
Most unexpected throwback to Motown
MØ – 'Never Wanna Know'. One of Denmark's hippest newcomers came up with this track back in Autumn and it was adorable.
Best gig
MKS (a.k.a Mutya Keisha Siobhan, a.k.a The Origibabes) – They might not have had the comeback record of the year, but the ladies definitely pulled off THE comeback gig of the year at London's Scala. No video on YouTube could relay the experience properly though.
Most listened to song on my iTunes
The Amplifetes – 'You Want It'. You might not like this song, but it's the most listened to track of the year on my iTunes. Something about it speaks to me.
MNEK – It seems like a lifetime ago since I featured MNEK but he now finally seems to be on the edge of breaking through. Already long-listed on the BBC Sound of 2014, whatever happens over the next months will be pretty special for this kid.

Q: variable sidea is not being defined? Python programming In this program I keep getting the error that sidea is not defined even though I am returning it and calling it. I have tried chaning the names of things, but it still does not work. how do I fix this? thanks. The error is coming on the line per = perimeter(sidea, sideb, sidec)
and its NameError: name 'sidea' is not defined
import math
import sys
def main():
    x1, y1 = eval(input("\nEnter the coordinates for the points, x1, y1:"))
    x2, y2 = eval(input("Enter the coordinates for the points, x2, y2:"))
    x3, y3 = eval(input("Enter the coordinates for the points, x3, y3:"))

    dist = distance(x1, y1, x2, y2, x3, y3)
    per = perimeter(sidea, sideb, sidec)
    are = area(sidea, sideb, sidec, per)
    vol = volume(area)

    print("\nThe three points are,", x1, y1, "/", x2, y2, "/", x3, y3)
    print("\nThe distance between the points is,", "%0.2f" % (dist))
    print("\nThe perimter of the triangle is,", "%0.2f" % (per))
    print("\nThe area of the triangle is,", "%0.2f" % (are))
    print("\nThe volume of the triangle is,", "%0.2f" % (vol))

def distance(x1, y1, x2, y2, x3, y3):
    sidea = (((x2-x1)**2) + ((y2- y1)**2))**(1/2)
    sideb = (((x3-x2)**2) + ((y3- y2)**2))**(1/2)
    sidec = (((x3-x1)**2) + ((y3- y1)**2))**(1/2)
    return sidea, sideb, sidec
    if ((sidea + sideb) < sidec) and ((sidea + sidec) < sideb) and ((sideb + sidec) < sidea):
        print("You cannot create a triangle with these points!")
        (sys.exit())

def perimeter(sidea, sideb, sidec):
    perimeter = sidea + sideb + sidec
    return perimeter

def area(sidea, sideb, sidec, perimeter):
    hp = perimeter / 2
    area = (hp*((hp-sidea)*(hp-sideb)*(hp-sidec)))**(1/2)
    return area

def volume(area):
    h = eval(input("Enter a positive number for the height of the triangle:"))
    if h > 0:
        volume = area * h / 3
        return volume
    else:
        print("The number entered for the height is not positive!")
        (sys.exit())

main()

A: You have not returned sidea, you have returned a tuple and in that tuple is your sidea variable:
dist = distance(x1, y1, x2, y2, x3, y3)

But your distance function returns:
return sidea, sideb, sidec

Adjust the first line to be like this:
sidea, sideb, sidec = distance(x1, y1, x2, y2, x3, y3)

This will properly unpack the variables for your use.
