...Illustrating How Mechanical Assemblies Work Niloy J. Mitra1,2 1 Yong-Liang Yang1 3 Dong-Ming Yan1,3 4 Wilmot Li4 5 Maneesh Agrawala5 Univ. of California, Berkeley KAUST 2 IIT Delhi Univ. of Hong Kong Adobe Systems (1) (2) (3) (4) (5) (6) motion analysis driver annotated illustration causal chain Figure 1: Given a geometric model of a mechanical assembly, we analyze it to infer how the individual parts move and interact with each other. The relations and motion parameters are encoded as a time-varying interaction graph. Once the driver is indicated by the user, we compute the motion of the assembly and use it to generate an annotated illustration to depict how the assembly works. We also produce a corresponding causal chain sequence to help the viewer better mentally animate the motion. Abstract How things work visualizations use a variety of visual techniques to depict the operation of complex mechanical assemblies. We present an automated approach for generating such visualizations. Starting with a 3D CAD model of an assembly, we first infer the motions of individual parts and the interactions between parts based on their geometry and a few user specified constraints. We then use this information to generate visualizations that incorporate motion arrows, frame sequences and animation to convey the causal chain of motions and mechanical interactions between parts. We present results for a wide variety of assemblies. Keywords: mechanical assembly, motion depiction...

Social Welfare Secretary Corazon Soliman said near-poor will be classified as families that fall 10 percent above the poverty line, which differs from area to area based on 25 variables the agency measures. “These include measures for food, health, access to electricity… We put weights on these metrics and then we gauge them using a set poverty line for each area,” Soliman said. The present list of beneficiaries, drawn from the National Household Targeting System, is being evaluated to see if there are families that managed to “move up a little higher” from the poverty line. Soliman said the DSWD hopes to come up with a new list of families by the first week of October. Families classified as near poor will no longer be part of the present CCT program but may become part of a new one. “We are coming up with this new classification called near-poor. The programs under this are still being developed but obviously, we will consider the major vulnerabilities of any family, which are education, health and job...

...the national government that provides CCT grants to extremely poor families in order to improve their health, nutrition and education especially the children aged 0- 14. The said program has two objectives: 1) Social Assistance, which aims to grant cash assistance to the poor to address their immediate need; and 2) Social Development, which aims to break the intergenerational poverty cycle through investments in human capital. One of the conditions under the said program before the beneficiaries will receive their CCT is the Family Development Session (FDS). It aims to widen the knowledge and boost the skills of parents and help them to understand and meet the health and education conditions of the program. The FDS is being done by the 4P’s workers through home visits, the use of modules on modular sessions guide for parents, family drug prevention program, parent effectiveness service and empowerment and viii reaffirmation of paternal abilities.

...It's time to retool the 4 P’s of marketing for today’s B2B reality. As a framework for fine-tuning the marketing mix, the P’s—product, place, price, and promotion—have served consumer marketers well for half a century. But in the B2B world, they yield narrow, product-focused strategies that are increasingly at odds with the imperative to deliver solutions. In a five-year study involving more than 500 managers and customers in multiple countries and across a wide range of B2B industries, we found that the 4 P’s model undercuts B2B marketers in three important ways: It leads their marketing and sales teams to stress product technology and quality even though these are no longer differentiators but are simply the cost of entry. It underemphasizes the need to build a robust case for the superior value of their solutions. And it distracts them from leveraging their advantage as a trusted source of diagnostics, advice, and problem solving. It’s not that the 4 P’s are irrelevant, just that they need to be reinterpreted to serve B2B marketers. As the sidebar below shows, our model shifts the emphasis from products to solutions, place to access, price to value, and promotion to education—SAVE, for short.
