...sending a different message with something as simple as a smile.” (Krischer Goodman a40) Body language can be helpful to know the emotions of someone, and when you know someone’s emotions you can generally predict or alter their motive. Knowing these cues can be helpful in situations like a job interview, on a date, or in an argument. When at an interview it can be very stressful to figure out who would be a good applicant to hire for a job. If an applicant and the boss are talking there are a few things that the employer can notice that would be helpful. People will lie to get a job, it happens; let’s say that the boss asks a question about the applicant’s experience, and when answering, the applicant covers part of their face with their hand. They most likely are lying. When people lie they tend to take more time to think of a response and when they do respond they tend to talk faster. Men will make their voice deeper and women will make their voice higher pitched when lying. If the applicant is sitting with their arms crossed then they are closed-off to the employer, and in other words they’re just not feeling it. If the employer asks a question and the applicant touches the back of their neck that’s a pacifying act and it doesn’t mean...

...novel approach for grasping that only uses local 3-D information acquired from sensors. Given data of the environment from 3-D sensors, our algorithm generates arm/hand configurations that may potentially achieve a good grasp, then computes features of these candidates to select the best candidate and execute its grasp. These features capture desirable properties of potential grasps based on sensor data, which our learning algorithm then uses to predict how likely the grasp will be successful. This algorithm was tested on STAIR in real-world grasping of single objects and of objects in cluttered environments. Significant improvements in both cases were found. Introduction As the field of artificial intelligence becomes increasingly advanced and integrated, it is time to revisit the half-century old “AIDream,” where intelligent robotic agents were envisioned to interact with the general human population. To this end, the Stanford Artificial Intelligence Robot (STAIR) project aims to introduce robots into home and office environments, where they will facilitate and cooperate with people directly. In order for robots to have any non-trivial use in such environments, they must have the ability to manipulate objects, which is provided through robotic arms. An arm usually has a manipulator “hand”...

...Some people like doing work by hand, others prefer using machines, which do you prefer? Use specific reasons and examples to support your answers Outline: 1. Working Efficiency: Easier and faster 2. More and more common, tendency to use technology As technology gradually penetrates the society, people started to use more and more machines instead of hands. In people’s daily life, machines are everywhere. People use computer or mobile to skim news or read books, and these machines have already applied to every family. When people work either in the office or at home, computer has become essential equipment. Still, some people prefer to work by hands since they think it will be more reliable and trustful. As a student, I prefer to do work by machines instead of hands especially when I am doing work for school. One vital beneficial of technology is it’s convenient and much easier and faster than human hands. Being a student at school, there is tons of work everyday. Each teacher will require work such as writing an essay or finishing some study guide. I have been using computer for several years, and my typing speed is much faster than when I doing the same thing by hands. Writing by hands turns to be some tougher work to me since I have use computer instead of hands for a long time and I definitely know which way is easier. For example, I had two study guides last semester for world history and biology. There were abundant of knowledge needing to memorize for both...

I would also like to thank my teacher Mr. Leemore Jarrett who has been committed in his efforts to competently prepare me for this Mathematics examination. Last but not least, I would like to thank all my volunteers for their kindness in donating the time and require data that were fundamental in completing this assignment. Thanks to you all!!! Introduction This is a simple experiment to determine if the reaction time of an athlete is greater than the reaction time of a non athlete. This test uses the known properties of gravity to determine how long it takes a person to respond to the dropping of an object by measuring how far the object can fall before being caught. In this experiment the stimulus is visual (the dropping of a ruler) and the evidence of reaction is the catching of the ruler. The conclusion to be drawn will be done through careful analysis of simple statistical values to be completed from data collected. Research question 1. Is the reaction time of an athlete greater than that of a non athlete? How the data was obtained 1. A random athlete was selected. 2. The athlete stands or sits near the edge of a table resting their elbow...

...free to read it. Enjoy! WHY WE WIN: THANKS FOR ALL THE FISH First let's explain exactly why beating the micro limits is so easy. I think knowing why what you're doing works is extremely helpful when you're learning. Poker is a game of skill, like chess or backgammon. The short term goal of poker is to win money, but the underlying goal of any game like poker or chess isn't actually to 'win'. The goal is to make fewer mistakes than your opponent. If you make fewer mistakes, you win by default. The only time this isn't true is when some inherent luck is involved, as it is in poker. Bad play in poker can win, but only in the short term. The Fundamental Theorem of Poker as presented by David Sklansky is as follows: “Every time you play a hand differently from the way...

...Ben Sexton Cheongmi Shim Interpersonal Communication October 19, 2011 Good and Bad I. Introduction If I had to choose two people who I communicate with the most and know me the best, it is a simple decision. My mother, Karen Sexton, and one of my best friends Cody Woods are two people who I communicate an extreme amount with and are able to really know the strengths and weaknesses of myself. Communication is something that we all take part in every day whether its through voice, facial expressions, hand gestures or symbols, and even pure silence. The level of communication we are at is different from person to person. The purpose of this paper is to find out our level of what we succeed at and what we could use some work on. II. Summary of Interaction The interviewees I have chosen are my mother Karen Sexton and a close friend of mine Cody Woods. My mother I have known for twenty-two years and has been the closest person in my family to me. Cody is a friend I met at college and have known for three years now. Both are extremely close with me and are important to my everyday life so they are obviously two people who I communicate with a lot. The meeting with my mother took place over the phone with her because she is back at home. It was during the evening this past weekend around 9 pm on Sunday. The interview was very laid back and easily initiated. The interview with Cody was completed at my house in the living room and was also a very laid back situation...

...the Earth as this happened, the clons probably finally noticing the young Uchiha had a clone fighting this entire time. The real Mikamo was hidden underground, still focusing his energy. As he felt the thunk of the blade of his weapon hit the Earth, he sighed. 'Well, guess my clone wasn't enough...Oh well, time for some real fun, oh and let's not forget my snake..' he said as he performed a few handsigns, signaling the snakes mind to know to move from the gecko, as it slithered away, dirt from above the earth crumpled down onto him and into his hair. 'Oh bother,' he said in a Poo bear style,' looks like that fat gecko landed. And I hope he knows he's not the only one with tricks up his sleeve..' he said as he thrusted his arm upward, his hand pushing through the earth. Knowing that it would be hardly visible, he clawed the earth apart, digging himself out. He was wearing the same attire as the clone from before, except it was smeared with grime from underground, and his katana had been upgraded several times from the clones. As his head was able to reach through the earth, he clawed harder and eventually was able to dig himself out. He stood tall, looking at the three Jato's being confused. He chukcled. 'I told you I had many tricks, Jatomaru.' he said as he took a quick glance at the katana his clone had used. He took off his shinobi-like glove with a metallic plate on it, as he bit his thumb with his right fang, smearing a japanese symbol onto the blade. 'Rest, worhty clone...

...make ourselves understood not only by words. We send messages to the people around us also by facial expressions and body movements.we call it "body language ", which is also a way of communication. For example, A smile and handshake show welcome ,Waving one's hand is to say"goodbye", nodding the head means agreement,while shaking it means disgreement .Putting up a hand means"May I ask a question?". These gestures are very common and are widespread since they are having the same meanings around the world. However, different countries still have different body languages due to different culture, which will affect the way people communicate. FOR EXAMPLE, In Arab, people often greet by kissing on both cheeks. In Japan people greet by bowing .In the Unite States, people shake hands to show"their greeting". And the gesture of putting a hand on a person' neck is different for Chinese and Americans. For Chinese,it is to say"someone will be killed". For Americans, it means "I'm full, cant eat any more”. And crossing one's legs in the United States is a sign of being relaxed. However in Korea, this is not allowed. In China,people hand everything with both hands to show their respect,but for Muslims,they think the left hand is unclean, so they do not eat or pass something with it. Touch or not touch? Whether or not touching during conversation is acceptable depends on the culture in different countries. For example, the French and Italians love to continually touch as they...
