You Have to See the Emotional Way a Deployed Father Was Included In His Wife's Maternity Photo Shoot
The expecting mom cried when she saw the photos, and you probably will, too.
By Caralynn Lippo
Maternity photos — when they're not tongue-in-cheek and humorous — can be an emotional experience for an expecting couple. While there are countless different ways to personalize a shoot (hence all of the many spectacular and very different viral maternity photos), the decision about whether or not to include a spouse or other family members in the photos is something that the parents generally decide among themselves. But when a military dad happens to be deployed during his partner's pregnancy, that choice is usually taken away.
In a moving and unique shoot, one photographer came up with a brilliant way to make sure that the expecting father could be a part of his wife's pregnancy experience — from 7,000 miles away.
Traci Lynn Photography
Traci Fugitt of Traci Lynn Photography, a Mabank, Texas-based photographer, captured stunning images of Nicole Bedwell, who is expecting her first child, in a field of Texas bluebonnets. If it had been left at just that, they would have been a standard (though, of course, beautiful) set of maternity photos. But what sets them apart is the decision made by Bedwell and Fugitt to crop Bedwell's overseas husband Wesley, a navy corpsman, into one of the pictures.
The Bedwells, who are expecting a baby girl named Pyper, hired Fugitt to document their maternity, birth, and newborn photos. The photographer explained that Nicole, having seen examples of maternity photos of spouses faded into the picture, asked to do something like that, allowing her husband to participate (albeit remotely) in the shoot. Instead, Fugitt cropped two photos together to make it appear as though the two were together.
In addition to the cropped photo of Wesley kneeling at just the right height where it appears that he's laying his hands on his wife's belly, Fugitt also took photos of Bedwell holding her husband's photo, a military baby-themed onesie, and his dogtag over baby shoes.
"It was just something we talked about. I just wanted him in the picture because he wasn't able to be here during the whole pregnancy so she cropped him in," Bedwell told Inside Edition.
When Bedwell and her family saw the final photos, they were moved beyond words. "I cried, both of our families cried," Bedwell said. "It's been really emotional for me to have my husband gone my whole pregnancy, so the fact that Traci was able to include him in my maternity session was very emotional. We will never be having our first child again. He's my family, so having him included touched my heart. It made me happy."
Though the emotional photos are bittersweet, the story has a happy ending. Bedwell developed hypertension (obviously, that's not the happy part), but thanks to the now high-risk nature of the pregnancy, Wesley was allowed to return home in time for his daughter's birth. Bedwell is set to be induced at some point today, according to Fugitt — and the baby's father will be there to see it.
If you weren't crying already seeing the photos, I don't doubt you are now — because I know I am.

THE WOODLANDS, Texas, October 22, 2014: With construction of its newest communities, Avanti at Towne Lake, Avanti at Flower Mound and Avanti at Vision Park, about to begin or already underway, Avanti Senior Living is employing an innovative approach to redefine the look and feel of an assisted living and memory care community. Avanti founders, CEO Tim Hekker and COO Lori Juneau-Alford, are leveraging their 50-plus years of senior living experience along with the expertise of PRDG, a leading senior housing architectural firm, to bring their unique vision to life. Avanti is creating communities that exceed the needs and expectations of future residents, their family members and the team members who will serve them. Avanti senior living communities will be sophisticated and luxurious in design, much like a refined, boutique-style hotel. The design projects timeless hospitality and emphasizes a relaxed and uplifting culture.
The layout of the community will give the residents easy access to various destinations, including a state-of-the-art wellness center with a ballet bar and fitness equipment, a theater and a full service salon and spa offering relaxation therapy, aromatherapy, deep tissue massage, hair styling and manicures/pedicures. The medical suite will feature designated areas for visiting doctors or utilize the telehealth technology, along with a private exam room where medical personnel can meet with the residents. A fully-functional art studio with high ceilings and a stone wall for the residents to display artwork will evoke a cultured, stimulating ambiance that promotes the residents' imagination and creative spirit in a space that provides a positive sensory experience.
Each community will provide 90-150 one and two-bedroom spacious suites that maximize living space. The suites will boast posh carpets, wood flooring, expansive windows, walk-in-closets, oversized showers, stone countertops, upgraded finishing on plumbing, appliances, and other household features, expansive counter space and storage space, and other signature features. Avanti's goal is to combine luxurious finishes with high functionality and safety.
Cutting-edge technology is a key component of the design as well. Avanti will systematically place device charging stations and outlets in common areas to ensure that residents and guests can conveniently charge their Avanti customized electronic device. In addition, the RFID keyless entries will allow residents to enter and exit their suites without worrying about carrying their keys.
Avanti's memory care, called Salize, will create a climate that is conducive to serenity at every level. This area is purposefully designed with open spaces, short, easy-to-see walkways and an abundance of natural light, so residents do not feel overwhelmed or challenged by hidden corridors. The simulated lighting helps cue residents to phases of the day and highlights common household areas. In their specialized memory care neighborhood, residents will have their own dining area, theater, salon and other amenities.
Avanti Senior Living owns, develops and operates senior living communities. Avanti was launched in 2013 and is committed to redefining senior housing through forward-thinking design, inspiring and innovative culture and state-of-the-art technology. The company is based in The Woodlands, Texas. CEO Tim Hekker and COO Lori Juneau-Alford founded the company with their combined 50-plus years of experience. Avanti's vision focuses on creating a culture that emphasizes personal choice and control to preserve resident dignity, while delivering world-class care and support and inspirational experiences.
Avanti senior living communities will initially be built in Texas, Florida and Louisiana. Then, the company will move into other markets nationwide. Each community will have 90-150 one and two- bedroom suites. Their vision is to fundamentally redefine the customer service experience for assisted living and memory care by providing a quality of life that embraces a holistic lifestyle filled with choice. Each Avanti community features resort-style activities and entertainment options boasting a stylish design, five beautiful courtyards, a true art studio, an exercise room with a ballet bar, a theater and a full-service salon and spa, a nail bar and hair services and multiple destination locations.

Our Top Pick of 2019 Locks in Yet Another Major US Contract
WRITTEN BY: Meagan Evans
In case you missed it, we put our money where our mouth is earlier this week when we revealed our "Top Pick for 2019".
The stock has already been up over 46% over the last two days of trading, but from such a small current market cap it's likely just the very start of a longer run given the momentum of the contracts rolling in, plus the rapidly rising demand for much needed cybersecurity.
As we said in our previous article it might not be long before the company reveals further positive news for its shareholders.
Well, just two days later and that news has dropped.
The company today revealed that it has secured a further US federal government sub-contractor role – its third in six months and its second win this week.
That company is WhiteHawk (ASX: WHK), who today confirmed that it has entered into a US federal government contract supporting a large government department through the Chief Information Officer (CIO).
WHK, along with the primary contractor (an as-of-yet unnamed Virginia, USA based tech giant with over 23,000 employees) will begin work on the $28 million (~A$40M) contract this month.
WHK will provide this department with expert support for cyber risk management, executive technical services (architecture and engineering), and project management, as well as its Cyber Risk Management Framework capabilities.
As cybersecurity risks and awareness grows, WHK continues to rack up important revenue generating contracts with major US customers including:
A top 10 US financial institution,
A top 12 US Defense Industrial Base (DIB) company,
A top US independent insurance agency specialising in cyber liability insurance,
A major US east coast utility sector company,
Multiple US federal government departments, and
A strategic partnership with EZShield, a top financial fraud, identity theft and mobile defense company to service SME customers.
This latest contract win follows Wednesday's news that the company had won a cyber sub-contractor role under an unnamed, yet "leading global professional services company", on a five year, $2 billion (~A$2.85B) US federal government contract. WHK expect it to deliver revenues of US$300,000 to US$600,000 (~A$428k-A$855k) in year one, growing to US$1 million to US$3 million (~A$1.4M-A$4.2M) per year in subsequent years.
WHK will provide cloud-based IT services and modernisation, cyber risk management, cyber intelligence and innovation introduction and transition, as well as tailored cyber subject matter expertise — all spanning the department's operations nationwide.
WhiteHawk secured its first US federal government contract to provide important cybersecurity services in November last year, and the way things are going, we expect to see contracts like these continue to roll in.
While the exact government departments can't be revealed on these contracts, given the understandably sensitive nature of the business and the players involved, we do know that each of the three contracts is for a separate federal department with WHK's expertise having a wide reach.
As for the stock, it's on a run, gaining 40%+ this week alone. Yet it is still only capped at just A$11.4 million, suggesting that plenty of upside remains.
Here's the latest from,
ASX:WHK
Share price: A$0.088 (at 2 May)
Market Capitalisation: A$11.4 million
If you didn't catch our article earlier this week, here's why we selected WhiteHawk as our Top Pick for 2019:
WHK's second win in a week
It's two for two this week for WhiteHawk Limited (ASX:WHK) after it today confirmed it will supply cyber security solutions to another federal government body.
The latest contract is for seven years, including one base year with six option years, and will see WHK act in a cyber sub-contractor role on a US federal government department contract through the Chief Information Officer (CIO).
The contract with the primary contractor is valued at US$28 million (A$40M), and as the sub-contractor, WhiteHawk will provide expert support for cyber risk management, executive technical services (architecture and engineering), and project management, as well as its Cyber Risk Management Framework capabilities.
WHK will deliver sensitive risk analytics and mitigation, providing needed added protections to a breadth of office and mission functions.
WHK is expected to reap revenues of US$150,000 to US$300,000 (~A$214k-A$427k) each year, while future (optional) expansions by the US government could increase the scope of WhiteHawk's services and revenues.
Whitehawk is unable to name the primary contractor (prime) on the contract, but said it is a Reston, Virginia headquartered company with over 23,000 employees. The company provides technology integration services including high-end solutions in systems engineering and integration, enterprise IT, cyber, software, advanced analytics and simulation, and training to US Defense, federal civilian, intelligence community, and space agencies.
A bit of internet sleuthing gives us some idea who may be involved.
A Google search of that description reveals that the US$4.3 billion (A$6.1B) capped SAIC (NYSE:SAIC) could be the company in question.
SAIC is a premier technology integrator solving the US's most complex modernisation and readiness challenges across the defense, space, federal civilian, and intelligence markets.
Its portfolio of offerings includes high-end solutions in systems engineering and integration; enterprise IT, including cloud services; cyber; software; advanced analytics and simulation; and training.
Work will commence in May, while formal announcements naming the government department and prime contractor are forthcoming, pending approval from the primary contractor, WhiteHawk's customer.
Terry Roberts, Executive Chair of WhiteHawk said, "We are looking forward to being a part of a forward leaning team of innovators to refine and take to the next level an important U.S. Government CIO resilience strategy and architecture.
"These US Federal Government contract wins highlight the capability of the WhiteHawk team to have further impact across the cyber risk landscape of the US financial, insurance, Defense Industrial Base and utility sectors as well as our sales channels through EZShield, leveraging our CyberPath online decision engine based market place for cyber security software and service solutions."
Sub-contractor on a 5-year US$2B US federal government contract
Today's announcement follows confirmation from WhiteHawk on Wednesday (1 May) that it has been awarded a five year cyber sub-contractor role under the primary contractor on another newly awarded US federal government department contract worth US$2 billion.
WhiteHawk will provide an enterprise-wide cyber risk management framework, cyber intelligence and innovation introduction and transition, as well as tailored cyber subject matter expertise as part of the primary contractor's team — a leading global professional services company.
WhiteHawk's contract is for five years (one year with four option years). First year revenue to WhiteHawk is expected to be between US$300,000 to US$600,000 (~A$428k-A$855k), and subject to final scoping by the Prime and customer, revenue is expected to grow to between US$1 million to US$3 million (~A$1.4M-A$4.2M) per year in subsequent option years.
Funding & cash position
As for the company's cash position and its ability to fund continued growth, WHK had access to funds of A$1.5 million, as at March 31. That includes A$650k payable by RiverFort Global Opportunities PCC Ltd in 11 monthly instalments under the equity swap that was part of a share placement made to RiverFort in January. The details of which are summarised here.
Under the Swap, WHK receives 50% of any share sale proceeds made by Riverfort above 7.1 cents. This demonstrates WhiteHawk's confidence, based on its contract pipeline, that it can achieve a rising share price.
WHK also has a strong pipeline of opportunities across currently operating revenue streams, with contracted revenue for CY2019 at US$898,000 (~A$1.3 million), as of 16 April. Plus the recent contract wins set to bring in over the first year US$150k-US$300k (~A$214k-A$427k) on one, and US$300k to US$600k (~A$428k-A$855k) on the other.
Given that the company has a current cash burn rate of circa A$200k per month things are looking smooth. We also expect further revenues to come in now that WhiteHawk's Cyberpath Decision Engine is built.
Contracts welcomed by shareholders
While there have been no assurances around who the primary contractors are on either of this week's contract announcements, WhiteHawk has partnered with two leading businesses with deep US federal government connections.
What's important to keep in mind is not just the direct revenues that will flow to WhiteHawk, but the validation conferred by these partnerships with the major contractors in question and the (still to be revealed) US federal government departments.
While we like what we're seeing, it seems that new investors have also been doing their own research.
The company's share price has been up as much as 48% since Monday's 6.4 cent close — ignited on the back of the first contract announcement of the week on Wednesday and perhaps the conviction that continued contract announcements were in the works.
A final word... at least for this week
It has been a big week for WhiteHawk and we expect its momentum to continue into the foreseeable future.
That's why we called it our Top Pick for 2019.
Of course, nothing is a guarantee in the small cap market. So only invest what you can afford to lose when investing in speculative stocks.
So far, noting today's announcement, there looks to be a pipeline of contracts to come, the share price is rallying after some months in the doldrums, and the company itself seems buoyant about its future.
There's a lot to like about WhiteHawk, so watch this space as further deals could come through quickly.

There are these moments when I look at you, and I wish I could capture you. Put this memory away so that one, five, fifteen years from now, I can pull it out like something rustled in the tissue paper of shivering wings and unwrapped with a crinkle whisper.
Kept like some sort of incorruptible secret I'd never have to share. What our pressed palms feel like, the lines of my life intersecting, bisecting, hemisecting against yours. Me looking at you looking at me looking at you. The light. The shadows. The sound of a sigh that leaves you fulfilled even as it empties. The smell, which will lie unbidden until it's later released with a euphoria of inexplicable nostalgia that carries the feeling even if not the image.
What could I do in this moment? I want to hold it close even as it susurrates out of my fingers. It's like tripping toward fog, trying to fly through it, only to have it disappear the closer you draw to it
It's an impossibility, and the sadness of that reality savors of happiness too.
Because it's something I hesitate to even put into words. This is you and this is me and nothing like this has ever happened before in the history of man. Putting it into words makes it accessible. Something tangible that can now be used to explain another relationship, another time, another moment in the future. And that's not what this is.
This is a moment. Passing. Brief. Never to occur again. It's not even fully yours or mine or ours. But it could never belong to anyone else except us. It's a gift of a moment we're allowed to experience only because we have to release it immediately.
And the devastating beauty of entropic evanescence is that as it ends here's another moment. Another. Another. Each coalescing, each slightly different. Each one worthy of reverence but not in supplication of it. Each moment singular and yet blurring together to create a zoetropic flutter of this time I have with you.
Here's a moment. Here. And here.

Suge Knight takes plea deal after running over man with truck in Compton in 2015
ByCarlos Granda
Suge Knight pleaded no contest to a voluntary manslaughter charge for running over a man with a pickup truck in the parking lot of a Compton hamburger stand.
LOS ANGELES (KABC) -- Former rap mogul Marion "Suge" Knight pleaded no contest to a voluntary manslaughter charge for running over a man with a pickup truck in the parking lot of a Compton hamburger stand.
Knight, 53, ran down 55-year-old Terry Carter and also struck and injured Cle "Bone" Sloan in the parking lot of Tam's Burgers in the 1200 block of West Rosecrans Avenue on Jan. 29, 2015. Carter was killed, and Sloan was seriously injured.
Wearing an orange jumpsuit and shackles in court, Knight agreed to give up his right to a trial and pleaded no contest to the charge against him, just days before his trial for murder was set to begin. Jury selection was set to begin Monday.
The fatal confrontation, which was captured on dramatic surveillance video, occurred near a filming scene for the movie "Straight Outta Compton," the origin story of the rap group N.W.A.
The footage shows Knight put his truck in reverse, first knocking over Sloan. He then drives forward over Carter, killing him. Knight was out on bail in a robbery case at the time, but was later arrested after he fled the scene.
Knight's attorneys argued he was acting in self-defense.
Knight had claimed he was trying to flee the scene in his truck, contending that Sloan -- who was working security for the film set -- was armed with a gun.
Knight's attorney at the time, Matthew Fletcher, said the graphic video exonerated him.
"100 percent it proved that Suge Knight was attacked," Fletcher said. "You started a fight. You came with guns, and you came with grown men who attacked him."
The plea deal calls for Knight to serve 28 years in prison when he is sentenced Oct. 4. Six years were added because it is a third strike violation for Knight.
With the plea, Knight also resolves two other cases: making criminal threats and stealing a camera from a woman, an incident that occurred in September 2014. Those charges will be dismissed by a judge at sentencing.
Knight has prior felony convictions for armed robbery and assault with a gun. He pleaded no contest in 1995 and was sentenced to five years' probation for assaulting two rap entertainers at a Hollywood recording studio in 1992.
CORRECTION: An earlier version of this story stated that Knight pleaded no contest to involuntary manslaughter.

The trade union movement in Bulgaria emerged after the end of the Russo-Turkish War in 1878. The first to organise were teachers, followed by print workers who took strike action, dissatisfied with pay and poor working conditions. In subsequent years workers from different industries came together to form trade union organisations. At first, they were associated with the socialist parties in the country, but in 1924 they merged and declared independence.
After the Soviet-backed 'Socialist Revolution of 9 September 1944' the Fatherland Front (OF) took power and established a people's republic. Private property was nationalised and the other parties were liquidated. New unions were established and all workers came together in the General Workers' Trade Union (GWTU), strongly linked to the Communist party. Some pro-worker legislation was adopted at that time, which partially remains in force today.
In 1987 certain autonomy was granted to trade unions that allowed for decisions on tasks and operations to be owned by the unions. As a result two national trade unions emerged – the Confederation of Independent Trade Unions in Bulgaria (CITUB) and the Confederation of Labour Support (CL Podkrepa) – reviving the trade union movement in Bulgaria. So, trade unions in Bulgaria have a long history – but are young at the same time.


In the entire history of the United States, consumers have never been in so much debt. And that would not be a crisis as long as the vast majority of us were regularly making our debt payments, but as you will see below delinquency levels are starting to rise to extremely alarming levels. In fact, some of the numbers that are coming in are even worse than we witnessed at any point during the last recession. If things are this bad already, what are they going to look like once the economy really gets bad? Because even though it appears that we are heading into a new recession, according to the Federal Reserve it has not officially begun yet. That means that much worse is yet to come. Just like last time, millions of Americans will likely lose their jobs, and without an income most of those that suddenly find themselves unemployed will not be able to pay their bills. The stage is set for the largest tsunami of consumer debt defaults that this country has ever seen, and that will absolutely devastate major financial institutions all across America.
#12 One recent survey found that 78 percent of Americans "are living paycheck to paycheck". Suffocating debt levels are a big reason why that figure is so incredibly high.
Since so many Americans are living paycheck to paycheck, that means that there is very little room for error. During the last recession, large numbers of Americans immediately began getting behind on their bills once they were laid off, and we saw mortgage defaults rise to unprecedented levels. Sadly, we haven't learned from our past mistakes, and millions upon millions of Americans will find themselves drowning in an ocean of red ink once again during this next recession.
But even if you are not living paycheck to paycheck, carrying credit card balances is a very unwise thing to do.
If a credit-card borrower only made the minimum payments on $5,000 of debt, for example, they'd be in debt for more than 18 years and would end up paying $6,372 in interest based on national average interest rates, according to Ted Rossman, industry analyst for CreditCards.com.
If you keep playing this game, I promise you that you will never get rich. Instead, the only people that will be getting wealthy will be the people that are receiving your debt payments.
Credit card debt is one of my pet peeves. One of the best financial moves that anyone can make is to get out of credit card debt and never look back.
We haven't seen anything like that since the last financial crisis.
The economy is throttling back. Way back. That's the message in the near stall out of job growth last month. Job creation probably isn't as bad as February's disappointing numbers suggest — unusually poor weather played a role in limiting job growth to just 20,000 — but it is weaker than just a few months ago. Businesses are nervous, and sentiment is at risk of breaking if anything goes wrong.
And plenty could go wrong. A recession could materialize swiftly if businesses lose faith, and there is a good chance they will.
And when the next recession strikes, things are going to get very, very rough for U.S. consumers.
A consumer debt apocalypse is coming, and it is going to be incredibly painful.

Amy Ellis Nutt is a science writer at The Washington Post where her beat is the brain.
Breakthroughs in our understanding of the human brain have often come at the expense of patients: Psychology students continue to learn about the origins of memory from the case of H.M. In 1953, surgeons relieved Henry Molaison of his epileptic seizures by removing part of his brain. At the same time, however, they unwittingly rendered him amnesic. Molaison's loss was science's gain: We now know the hippocampus is where memories are processed.
In his astonishing, brave new book, "Switched On," Robison's yearning for completeness leads him to volunteer for a scientific experiment that aims to change his brain for the better. After giving a talk about his first book, Robison is approached by a postgraduate fellow in the lab of Harvard neuroscientist Alvaro Pascual-Leone. She tells him about a new clinical trial Pascual-Leone is about to launch at Boston's Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center.
One theory of autism is that there is an imbalance in the brain's connections, making some mental tasks confusing and difficult, and others enormously easy. For Robison those easy tasks have involved using his astounding engineering skills to design and run sound systems for rock bands in the 1970s and '80s (he built the fire-breathing, rocket-launching guitars famously used by KISS). Later, he built electronic toys and games for Milton Bradley and eventually power systems for a laser manufacturer. Most recently, he has restored high-end foreign automobiles. Far more challenging tasks for him: reading other people and understanding their state of mind.
Pascual-Leone wanted to test whether transcranial magnetic stimulation, a tool occasionally used to treat depression, could rebalance the brain circuits in individuals with Asperger's, allowing them to better read people.
Beginning in 2008 and extending over several years, Robison underwent 20 TMS sessions at Beth Israel, hoping the machine's focused pulses of magnetic energy would give him the ability to do just that. Although 17 of those sessions seemed to alter nothing, three were transformative, resulting in a nearly euphoric awakening.
"Switched On" reads like a medical thriller and keeps you wondering what will happen next. "TMS took away my emotional innocence," Robison writes, and the effects, the reader knows, could be myriad. Will the euphoria diminish when the experiment ends? Will Robison's brain be changed permanently? And can TMS help his autistic son the way it seems to help him? Not all these questions are answered, but that's okay. Robison, who understands that changes in how he experiences others do not mean he's no longer autistic, takes readers for a ride through the thorny thickets of neuroscience and leaves us wanting more. He is deft at explaining difficult concepts and doesn't shy from asking hard questions. This is a truly unusual memoir — both poignant and scientifically important. What TMS means for other autistic individuals remains to be seen. What it meant for Robison, good and bad, was life-changing.

That's What She's Reading: Children's Book Reviews!
I have a few children's books that I wanted to share with you, which were sent to me from the publisher for free in exchange for an honest review, but as always, thoughts, feelings, and opinions are all my own!
Many thanks to Little Bee Books for contacting me to review some of their newly released or forthcoming books. The boys and I are having a lot of fun reading these!
Bears Are Big is a beautifully illustrated board book that teaches little ones about opposites within the animal world. The animals are easily recognizable and even features some not typically found in children's books. While the rhyming text ends abruptly, it is cleverly written, so as to maintain the attention of its young audience and will entertain babies, toddlers, and preschoolers alike. The text is boldly displayed, but doesn't overwhelm or overpower the unique style of these illustrations, which ultimately works well to encourage print awareness and identification in order to help develop early reading skills.
Flamingos Fly is a companion title that helps little ones discover animal movements. This book follows along in the same vein as the previous title, featuring bright illustrations and simple, rhyming text. The flow is slightly better, so the ending isn't as abrupt. The text is again boldly displayed, but doesn't distract from the illustrations. Kids will love getting up and moving along with these animals!
Both books are very sturdily designed and will hold up well whether in the hands of a baby or young child. The boys and I really enjoyed these books and will definitely be on the look out for previous titles in the collection!
Unfortunately, this next book, Grizzly Bear Munch was not my favorite, but the boys were huge fans of its pull tabs and loved making the bear's mouth open and close. At this point, it has seen much better days, but is surprisingly holding up well given all the manhandling!
This interactive board book has a slider on each page that allows children to lift the bear's mouth as he makes his way through the story trying to find something to eat. Reading this book encourages an engaging read to mimic the bear's sounds and frustrations; however, I didn't enjoy the story.
Barry the Grizzly Bear wants something to eat, but he's very clumsy and can't seem to catch anything. He efforts leave him getting hurt, but a bunch of bees keep following him around and laughing at his failed efforts. Eventually, he gets so frustrated that he lashes out and threatens to eat them, only in the process of doing so, he gets hurt yet again. The bees end up feeling bad for him and offer up their honey, which he happily eats and believes that now he has made some friends. The illustrations are so bold and expressive that I ultimately used them as a guide to retell the story so that the bees and other animals in the woods were trying to lead the bear to the honey, but he wouldn't listen and kept enduring the obstacles that led to him getting hurt. Once he lets others help him, he is rewarded with the honey and friendship. This just made it easier for me to continue multiple readings of it for the boys, who absolutely loved playing with the mouth. There are many other companion titles in this collection featuring a shark, crocodile, wolf, polar bear, and dinosaur, but unless available at our library, we will just stick with this one.
Many thanks again to the publisher for making these books available to us! I will have several more reviews as the release dates get closer, so stay tuned!


We propose an hierarchical video shot detection method to detect both abrupt and gradual transitions (dissolves and fade-groups). The philosophy of the method is to use a fast algorithm to pre-process the video by removing those frames which strictly does not comprising a normal scene. The remaining frames may contribute to fade-in fade-out or dissolve areas. These frames are processed by a complex and robust shot detection method. We used object(contour) matching as pre-processing algorithm and SURF on top of it for robustness.

Philip J. Hilts, 74, Dies; Reporter Exposed a Big-Tobacco Cover-up
In one of many scoops for The Times, he revealed how the tobacco industry had kept secret its own research showing that nicotine was harmful and addictive.
Philip J. Hilts, who as a science reporter for The New York Times in 1994 exposed a tobacco company's decades-long cover-up of its own research showing that tobacco was harmful and nicotine was addictive, died on April 23in Lebanon, N.H. He was 74.
The cause was complications of liver disease, his son Ben said.
Mr. Hilts was a longtime journalist, writing for The Times, The Washington Post and other publications, and was the author of six nonfiction books on scientific, medical and social topics.
His work on tobacco made headlines not only in The Times but also across the country. In 1994, he obtained internal documents showing that executives of the Brown & Williamson Tobacco Corporation were struggling with whether to disclose to the surgeon general what they knew in 1963 about the hazards of smoking; their own research showed that cigarettes were addictive and caused lung cancer or predisposed people to it.
The Brown & Williamson executives, Mr. Hilts wrote, "chose to remain silent, to keep their research results secret, to stop work on a safer cigarette and to pursue a legal and public relations strategy of admitting nothing."
Mr. Hilts's article, on the front page of The Times, appeared a month after top executives of the seven biggest American tobacco companies testified before Congress that nicotine was not addictive. Two years later, they were all under federal investigation for potentially lying under oath and were no longer leading their companies.
The Justice Department eventually dropped its criminal investigation into whether the executives had perjured themselves. But in 1998, four tobacco companies and 46 states reached what was the largest civil litigation settlement in American history, with the companies agreeing to pay the states $206 billion over 25 years. Millions of internal company documents of the sort that Mr. Hilts and other news organizations had relied on were made public in the process.
Mr. Hilts also broke major stories about breast implants, contraceptives and deceit in the cosmetic device industry. He was among the first reporters to cover the AIDS epidemic.
An adventurous type — he was a scuba diver and world traveler — he wrote a dispatch from an active volcano a mile below the Pacific Ocean. He covered the confessions of a healer in Zambia who claimed to be "curing" AIDS. And he examined a law-enforcement practice of using hypnosis to "refresh" the memories of witnesses; his findings of problems with hypnosis led to the release of four men from prison.
Most recently, he served as director of the Knight Science Journalism Program at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, from 2008 to 2014.
His books include "Smokescreen: The Truth Behind the Tobacco Industry Cover-Up" (1996), which examined the industry's 40-year disinformation campaign on cigarette smoking; "Protecting America's Health: The FDA, Business and One Hundred Years of Regulation" (2003), a history of the Food and Drug Administration; and "Rx for Survival: Why We Must Rise to the Global Health Challenge" (2005),in which he described how wealthy nations can help fight the threat of new and resurgent outbreaks of disease around the world.
Mr. Hilts was the author of six hard-hitting nonfiction books on scientific, medical and social topics.
Philip James Hilts was born on May 10, 1947, in Chicago. His father, Edward, was a nonfiction writer who also wrote historical fiction for children. His mother, Katherine (Bonn) Hilts, worked at a Sears store in several departments, including as a switchboard operator.
Philip was one of seven children and grew up mainly in Hinsdale, Ill., a suburb west of Chicago.
After high school, he served briefly in the merchant marine before attending Georgetown University in Washington, from 1965 to 1967. He then dropped out and hitchhiked to San Francisco to participate in the "Summer of Love," when the hippie and counterculture movements were in full bloom.
He returned to Georgetown in 1969 but never graduated, deciding instead to take up journalism. He undertook short stints as a reporter and photographer at small suburban newspapers and at The Washington Daily News in Washington, D.C., and The Rocky Mountain News in Denver before becoming a freelance magazine writer.
He joined The Washington Post as a staff writer in the 1980s, taking time out for a Nieman fellowship at Harvard from 1984-85. He moved over to The Times's Washington bureau in 1989 as a staff writer until 1996, when he became a contract writer until 2002.
Mr. Hilts received several journalism fellowships, including one that sent him to Botswana, where he taught journalism. Most of his fellowships were devoted to science writing.
He married Mary Donna McKeown, a fellow reporter at The Washington Daily News, in 1974; she died in 1987. In 1993, he married Carisa Cunningham, who at the time worked for nonprofit AIDS organizations; they divorced in 2011. He married Una MacDowell, who was a researcher in math and science education, in 2013. They lived in Cambridge, Mass., and Rochester, Vt. Hedied in a hospital.
In addition to his wife and his son Ben, he is survived by another son, Sean; two daughters, Alexis and Kate Hilts; a grandson; four brothers, Edward, Paul, Michael and Mark; two sisters, Jeanne Young and Elizabeth Hilts; and two children from his wife's first marriage, William and Nora MacDowell Coon.
At his death, Mr. Hilts was finishing a book about Lynn Margulis, a biologist whose research into the origin of cells helped transform the study of evolution, and who was married for a time to the astronomer Carl Sagan.

Suspect in Temple University student killing used Lyft to transport her body 100 miles in a storage bin
By Terence Cullen
Sep 05, 2017 | 7:17 AM
The man suspected of killing a 22-year-old Temple University student hired a Lyft to move her body more than 100 miles, according to reports.
Suspect Joshua Hupperterz was arrested Saturday for killing Jenna Burleigh, whom he was seen leaving a Philadelphia bar with last Thursday at about 2 a.m.
Investigators believe he killed her at his apartment that day, put her in a storage bin and kept her at his mother's home in Jenkinstown, Pa., according to local NBC affiliate WCAU.
He then hired the Lyft to bring Burleigh's remains about 100 miles north to his grandmother's property in Wayne County, Pa.
Burleigh's body was found in Wayne County and was brought there by a Lyft. (Temple Police via Twitter)
That's where police found the Harleysville, Pa.-native's body on Saturday, and charged Hupperterz with murder, abuse of a corpse, tampering with evidence and drug offenses.
"The allegations are devastating," Lyft said in a statement to local ABC affiliate WPVI. "We stand ready to work with the authorities in their investigation."
The Wayne County Coroner ruled Monday that she died of blunt trauma and strangulation.
Hupperterz's roommate said the 29-year-old former Temple student returned to their apartment at one point with cleaning supplies to get rid of blood, the news channel reported.
Police found blood and drugs inside the Philadelphia residence when they went in with a search warrant, according to WPVI.
Burleigh had just transferred to Temple and was commuting to the school from Harleysville — about 35 miles northwest of Philadelphia.
Josh Hupperterz was hit with a slew of charges connected to Burleigh's death. (Facebook)
"She was an exuberant person," friend Danielle Halteman told WCAU. "It's hard to imagine her not being here."
Her death left even police veterans shocked.
"This really strikes home for you, particularly, thinking about the heartache and the grief that those parents must be going through right now," Philadelphia Police Commissioner Richard Ross told reporters.

Futurist sees digital platforms gaining ground in consumer credit
Well-regarded futurist and author Shawn DuBravac, PhD, addressed the consumer credit industry's outlook with respect to digital technology's impact on business models, customers and employees last month at AFSA's 35th annual Independents Conference & Expo in Fort Lauderdale, Fla.
DuBravac, President of Astra Insights, is author of the New York Times bestseller Digital Destiny: How the New Ages of Data will Transform the Way We Work Live and Communicate.
Astra Insights advises companies and executives, including Chief Experience Officers (C x O), on market opportunities and industry strategy with respect to digital technologies. He said the consumer credit industry can take advantage of the trust it has built up over time with its customers. "You have the advantage of decades of trust with your customers and communities," he said. "I'm optimistic that the consumer credit industry will adapt to digitization because of the hard work, grit, determination and willingness to do new things that are a part of its tradition."
In responding to a question from the audience on the impact of fintech companies on consumer credit, DuBravac said traditional consumer finance companies offer a "differentiated level of service and experience." "You need to ask yourselves how do we redefine what we do with respect to our core competencies," he said. In his presentation, which explored the history of technology dating back to the 1800s right up to today's hyperspeed 5G network capability, DuBravac offered guidelines going forward for the consumer finance industry.
He said the industry should explore new lending models which would allow it to expand into unique financial products. As an example, he cited the product of an online lender which offered customers a $25,000 line of credit available in incremental drawdowns of $5,000 each. Those drawdowns would be treated as separate small loans. He said the consumer credit industry should monitor Millennials' attitudes toward technology. "The industry would have the basis for a more holistic consumer experience which would result in faster approvals and faster funding for customers," he said.

Long-established vendors of informatics software face challenges in keeping up to date with technology, but as Gloria Metrick discusses in the first of three articles on this topic, customer needs are what drives renewal.
Some software vendors in the informatics industry have been around for quite a long time, and are selling and implementing software that has been around for many years. Today, when software in the consumer electronics sector is outdated almost as soon as it comes on the market, how can this be the case? How can these companies not only survive but flourish in our ever-changing technical environment? Representatives from three software vendors were interviewed for this article; it is notable that many of their comments were strikingly similar.
With more than 30 years in business and close to 12 years supporting its current product offering, LVS (LabVantage Solutions) is one company that has had to face the challenge of rapid technological change. Puneet Goel, director of product management and marketing, made the key point that LVS software is a living product: it is mature, not 'aging'. According to Kim Charles, the company's marketing manager, maintaining focus is a high priority at LVS. Its focus remains on its single product, and that focus is essential for keeping that product relevant, current, and tailored to meet customers' needs.
Autoscribe began as a reseller of the Matrix LIMS, a product introduced in 1988. Then, in 1993 Autoscribe purchased Matrix LIMS and has continued to update the system to its current Matrix Gemini version. John Boother, managing director, does not see Matrix as 'aging' either, because the product has been rewritten and revised.
Thermo Fisher Scientific is our third example. Matt Grulke, director of marketing and product management, also does not warm to the term 'aging' to describe his company's software. With well-established products, extensive features, and brand recognition, Matt agrees that it is a challenge to be current and meet customers' changing needs. He also points out that their software has been rewritten.
None of these vendors' products is the same as when they first came on the market. In fact, they do not even look the same as they did years ago. However, rewrites are neither the only nor even the key element to managing the effort of remaining current. Rewrites are only ways to make delivery.
Every software vendor must do some amount of customer research. The three companies interviewed for this article appear to spend inordinate amounts of time on this.
Puneet Goel points out that, at LVS, their product management process is designed to keep track of market needs and changes in the business climate. They have multiple channels to which they look for this information. They gather external feedback but they also look internally, to obtain information from the actual people who routinely deal with the customers' needs, such as sales and implementation personnel. They also attend industry events and trade shows. They ask their customers how they measure success, and have a customer advisory board and a customer user group. They also talk to people in the industry other than customers to understand what areas are important.
LVS maintains that because it is a small company, it is relatively simple for any LVS employee to talk to anyone who might need information, whether internally or externally, so LVS personnel can speak directly with customers. This capability keeps all LVS people closer to the company's customers.
Autoscribe's John Boother also speaks a lot about customers. He places much value on Autoscribe's annual customer survey. However, Boother says, the communication cannot be just one-way. He emphasises that customers have to be on-board for software rewrites and upgrades. As a specific example, when Autoscribe last upgraded its software, it made certain to keep users informed of how the new features would, and would not, affect them The idea was to ensure that users would keep features they had currently, but could use the new features in the upgrade if they so desired.
This is key to the upgrade process, ensuring that customers know exactly what outcomes to expect. Also, as it too is a small company, at Autoscribe it is still fairly easy for anyone to contact anyone else with specific questions about one implementation or another.
Thermo Fisher Scientific is by no means a small company. But it has the same concerns about the customer experience as its smaller competitors. As Trish Meek, director of product strategy for informatics, noted the informatics industry is relatively small. Thus, regardless of the software vendor's size, customer retention is an important issue. Meek says Thermo Fisher Scientific has to be invested in its solutions in order to keep customers satisfied.
With regard to upgrades, she mentions that it is also concerned with good transitions; its goal for each upgrade is to shoulder the burden of that transition so the customer does not have to. With so many tools available for use with their products, Meek points out the necessity of continuing to support existing customers and the business processes that they have modelled in older tools, while concurrently developing new ideas and new tools. In other words, while Thermo Fisher Scientific is committed to developing new and better ways to implement its systems, it also wants to ensure that customers are not forced to abandon their older solutions until and unless those customers are ready to do so.
In her second article, Informatics software out of the box?, Gloria Metrick examines the challenges of keeping up with customers' changing need and with changes in technology. In Expanding the market for informatics software, her final article on the challenges facing long-established informatics software vendors, she considers their expansion into new markets but concludes that, as ever, the customers' needs are the driving force.

Remy Ma & Papoose's Plans for the Future - Love & Hip Hop: New York
In a true hip-hop love story, Bronx rapper Remy Ma and Brooklyn spitter Papoose flirted in person and in song lyrics for years but usually denied any relationship when questioned by the press.

Well....we have a new month don't we.
Yes, it's indeed March. What I want to know is if it's still Madness time around here?
Not exactly seeing a wellspring of support this year. I need at least three people to let me know that they will participate in the tourney.
If you're new around these parts, turn the page to see the posts from last year's Dorney Park March Madness to get a feel for what's being talked about.
I'm in. I don't think many people come around here any more. Both the park and this site are pretty stale.
That's OK, we can do what we can around here to liven it up a bit. Seems like it starts slow but picks up a bit as we go. Thanks for the responses, I'll get to making the brackets and start the tournament sometime early next week. Stay tuned.
Yeah, please start it up! After Dorney March Madness soon comes opening day!
Yes indeed, that's what it's all about kids, it's the celebration of winter's end and the season to come. Fear not, the selection committee is preparing for its weekend sequestration (is that a word?) and will produce the brackets we're all looking for.
Yes I'm in. Gosh a year goes by so fast.
Am I late to the party? I didn't even realize the calendar flipped! Let's get on with the MADNESS!!!

Bank resolution should not be about power games
Kenya's financial services landscape is dominated by banks and this means that bank resolution policy and practice has enormous consequences for savers, owners and for the financial system.
In the time since Imperial Bank was taken over for resolution, these depositors have been caught in the crossfire between the Central Bank of Kenya on the one side and the shareholders on the other.
In the main, public interest in bank resolution is to prevent the possibility that one bank may cause imbalances in the financial system and create a sector-wide crisis. That stated, the policy toolkit for bank resolution is known, and it emphasises the containment of the crisis to the smallest unit and with speedy resolution, closure being a last resort.
Kenya's bank resolution policy is not only incoherent but may be pursued in a way that fails to question the supervisory capability of the central bank and how that raises risks of bank failures that could be avoided.
By KWAME OWINO
Resolving these bank failures is an important role played by the Central Bank of Kenya, in spite of the big role of the Depositor's Protection Insurance Corporation.
In the last three years, two major banking institutions in Kenya have put to the test the capability of Kenya's institutions in bank resolution. Both were middle-sized banks that seemed to have prospects for impressive growth.
Of the two, the final resolution for the Imperial Bank Limited has demonstrated that bank resolution can be complex, but that Kenya's central bank has not done a good job.
The Central Bank of Kenya has made inconsistent decisions and walked back on some declarations in a way that has harmed the interest of savers who had no knowledge of the shenanigans that took place at the middle and upper management levels of the bank.

This exploitation by banks must stop
Public records show that the regulators are rightly concerned with the fact that the shareholders should take responsibility for insufficient oversight of their management teams. In the quest to make that point and ensure that these shareholders are held responsible for their failure to prevent infractions of law and bank policy, the interests of the clients of the bank have become a secondary matter.
Against this summary of the standard toolkit, it is clear that the three-year duration that it has taken in respect of Imperial Bank shows that speed and efficiency has not been a primary consideration for the CBK here.
Granted that this is a complex case in which proper audits and tracing of funds are necessary in order to assign liability, the passage of time has shown that both the Central Bank of Kenya and the Kenya Depositor Insurance Protection Fund have not acquitted themselves well here.
INCOHERENT POLICIES
The information that has been disclosed shows that this bank was liquid even though management risks made it difficult to determine whether its liabilities and assets were properly on the record.
Bank resolution and deposit protection policy prescribes standard policy approaches and specifically to limit discretionary action by regulators and the insurance corporation.
Many bank clients who have their deposits locked in because their money exceeded the accepted threshold have been unjustly treated because of the delay in resolution and mainly because of an absence of coherence on the policy followed by CBK.
Reading from the various public statements and claims, no coherent policy is evident except the strong claim that the bank's board of directors may have violated their responsibilities for oversight.
The gist of the policy approach is that this has become a war of attrition between the shareholders of Imperial Bank and the formidable tag team of the central bank and the Kenya Depositors Insurance Protection Fund, fought by way of claims and counterclaims.
In this process, a resolution plan seems to be a contest that has isolated the people on whose behalf the central bank should primarily be acting.
Whatever the outcome of these cases, most of the residual depositors who have no connection to the shareholders will have their assets degraded and will be in a far worse position than they would if the resolution was done more efficiently.
The key lesson from the last three years is that a clear checklist to handling bank failures in Kenya is not available or is not used consistently.
More importantly, however, is that directors of commercial banks in Kenya may fail in early detection of mischief and illegal conduct by their managers and ought to be held responsible for that.
The most salient point however is that Kenya's bank resolution policy is not only incoherent but may be pursued in a way that fails to question the supervisory capability of the central bank and how that raises risks of bank failures that could be avoided.
What remains is an inefficient mechanism that harms depositors failed through inadequate supervision and an incoherent bank resolution policy.

KRONOS is a tool developed with the aim to verify complex real-time systems. Real-time systems are systems that must perform a task within strict time deadlines. Embedded controllers, circuits and communication protocols are examples of such time-dependent systems. These systems are often part of complex safety-critical applications such as aircraft avionics, which are very difficult to design and analyze, but whose correct behavior must be ensured because failures may have severe consequences. Hence, real-time systems need to be rigorously modeled and specified in order to be able to formally prove their correctness with respect to the desired requirements. In KRONOS, components of real-time systems are modeled by timed automata and the correctness requirements are expressed in the real-time temporal logic TCTL.

The report card is in: student-designed education service yielding great results
Twenty-two young people with intellectual disability will look back on 2016 with pride in their unique achievements, having both designed a course of study, and now successfully completed modules towards the course, this year.
Education and Learning Manager Stewart Koplick said Endeavour Foundation had established a unique learning program at Ashmore in response to the need for post-school learning options which are tailor-made for young people with intellectual disability.
"What makes the Gold Coast Education and Learning Program truly special is the involvement of families and young people in intellectual disability in designing the course content and the way it would be delivered," Mr Koplick said.
"The students have achieved incredible growth and development this year, with each one continuing to work hard at the program they designed with us at the start of 2016. That tells us that involving students in the design of their course is a key ingredient in their success," he said.
Service Co-ordinator David Horstman said that all twenty-two students would receive a Statement of Attainment for each module they completed this year.
"The students will also receive a Certificate of Achievement for attending the Education and Learning Program, recognising that each person has worked hard to extend their own individual capacity," Mr Horstman said.
The course was first established as a result of lobbying and persistent advocacy by families.
Endeavour Foundation partnered with local group Advocates For Educating Adults With Intellectual Disability to find out more about local needs, creating a foundation to work with students and families to develop an innovative and interactive education option.
Education and Learning Manager Stewart Koplick said Endeavour Foundation was grateful to be granted the use of Pie Cottage Community Centre at Ashmore TAFE, providing a great home base for students to learn relevant skills and knowledge within the community.
"The new curriculum has focused strongly on practical life skills," Mr Koplick said.
"Students and teachers also had lots of fun planning the fit-out of Pie Cottage, choosing the décor and equipment they needed for a great learning experience," he said.
"We were confident that planning a curriculum based on what the students want to learn, would make the learning experience even more powerful, and the results speak for themselves," Mr Koplick said.
The Education and Learning Program offers inclusive, student-centred education and training that enhances skills development, job readiness and independent living for people with a disability, providing young people with the tools to live the lives they want in the future.

Q: How to increase email download speed of thunderbird I installed Mozilla Thunderbird 17.0. I configured my email account which has 22,000 emails. Initially, emails were downloaded in bunch of 120 to 125 emails per 'Get Mail' button click. But, from last few days, it downloaded on 2 to 3 emails per 'Get Mail' button click.
How can i increase download speed of the Thunderbird?

A: I wouldn't be surprised if there is a large or spam email stuck in your POP box. Your problem is a common symptom of the client getting mail, hitting a mail it cannot download and stopping. I would suggest logging into the server side of whoever hosts your email (webmail for instance) and delete anything you don't need, then retry the collection via thunderbird.

Stefano Pioli felt Fiorentina showed "courage and held out for a positive result" against Napoli even amid numerous setbacks.
The Viola had goalkeeper Alban Lafont to thank for a series of stunning saves and were essentially down to 10 men in the final minutes with German Pezzella limping badly.
"We had courage and accepted a one-on-one situation with Napoli, who are among the strongest sides in Serie A," the Coach told Sky Sport Italia following a 0-0 draw.
"We never gave in and even under a lot of pressure, with players missing and losing others during the match, we held out for a positive result.
"The objective in our minds is to improve upon last season, so we have to work hard. There are several teams that have strengthened this term in a bid for European football and who have a lot more revenue than us.
"We've been playing every game as if it's a final and today put Alex Meret under a lot of pressure with our two forwards.

A writer recounts a Labor Day weekend when he was twelve years old in the small town of Castle Rock, Oregon when he sought out with three of his close pals in search of the dead body of a missing boy one of them overheard their brother talking about. Their journey becomes a pivotal point in all of their lives as the four ruminate about life and enjoy what may be their last summer of childhood. Rob Reiner's "Stand by Me" is based on the Stephen King novella The Body and is a coming of age story that plays as a series of vignettes and conjures up feelings of childhood nostalgia. The events in the movie did not specifically remind me of my own childhood, but the general longing for those years that the film creates is remarkable. Reiner's direction is wonderful as he follows the boys down that wooded railroad path and fully engages all of his child actors. With the exception of Corey Feldman, who is irritating as one of the four, and John Cusack, who has always bothered me, as the protagonist's recently deceased brother seen in flashback, the cast is extraordinary. I really liked the work of Kiefer Sutherland as the sinister yet well spoken teenage punk and Jerry O'Connell as the hapless fat kid in the group, but who towers over all is River Phoenix who plays an underestimated poor kid and reaches depths that are not usually associated with child actors. The film also has a wonderful soundtrack comprised of 1950s jukebox hits. I had some problems with the movie. Richard Dreyfuss' reflective narration is distracting and unnecessary and when the film seeks to be more existential in nature it just comes off as haughty. Still, the movie wonderfully captures the essence of childhood and brings us back to a time when are main concerns were comic books, spitballs, and baseball.

Q: Rotation and translation in 3D reconstruction using 2D images I am trying to do 3D model reconstruction using 2D images from different views. I am following this example code from Matlab to get the desired results:
Structure From Motion From Two Views.
Following are the test images taken from the camera:
Manually taken images of 1st and 2nd image with translation of 1cm:

Overlay with matched features of first and second image:

Manually taken images of 1st and 2nd image with translation of 2cm:

Overlay with matched features of first and second image:

These are the translation vectors and rotation matrices I get for each case:
1cm translation:
translation vector:[0.0245537412606279 -0.855696925927505  -0.516894461905255]

-0.00212941243132160    -0.0345046172211024 0.999402269855899]

2cm translation:
translation vector:[-0.215835469166982 -0.228607603749042  -0.949291111175908]
rotation matrix:
[0.999989695803078  -0.00104036790630347    -0.00441881457943975;

0.00428737874479779 -0.103519766069424  0.994618156086259]

In documentation, it says it is relative rotation and translation between the 2 images.
But I am unable to understand what these numbers mean and what is the unit of the above values.
Can anyone at least let me know in what units are we getting the translation and rotation or how to extract the rotation and translation which is in any way comparable to the real world values like cm/mm and radians/degrees respectively?

A: You can translate the rotation matrix into a axis-angle-representation where you get the angles in radians. This can be done using the vrrotmat2vec function or by implementing a translater yourself by following this if you don't have access to the package. The angle will then be in radians.
When it comes to translation however you wont get it in a unit that makes sense in the real world, since you don't know the scale. This is unfortunately a problem with structure from motion in general. It is impossible to know if you take a image close to something small or far away from something large.
When using structure from motion to construct a 3D model this is fortunately not a problem since you still get relative distances correctly. Therefore you will be able to capture the scene (by following the rest of the tutorial) but you wont be able to say if something is 2cm or 2km tall, unless you have something in the image that you know the real life size of.
Hope it helps :)
