    Planepack interview with Rebecca Blackburn September 2017 Slobodanka: Hello Planepack readers. Welcome to another episode of Planepack. I'm sitting here with Rebecca. We're in the lovely Equinox Café in Deacon. And, Rebecca, tell me you said, you mentioned that you've been travelling light for almost ten years now. How did that all come about? Rebecca: It probably all started when I moved to the U.K. and became, and started travelling regularly. So, off on the weekend, I'd go for a couple of days. And, it was just convenient. Slobodanka: So about travelling light, do you mean with carry on only? or Rebecca: Yes. Slobodanka: So, no hold luggage/ Rebecca: No, no. Just one wheelie bag and one, one cross body handbag. Slobodanka: Handbag, yes. So, how do you plan for a trip like that? Let's say you were going to fly off tomorrow, how would you plan for your wardrobe? What would you take with you? Rebecca: So, it depends on the season. But, there's a few set, set standard items that I take. I, let's start with the sustainability aspects. I would take my Klean Kanteen, which is a thermos, a drink bottle. You can put your tea or coffee in it. And it saves [00:01:23] and it's your cup as well, so, that's number one. And I also take a folding purse, a little handbag. So, for any shopping, for a beach bag, your laundry bag, it's useful. Slobodanka: Multipurpose. Rebecca: Multipurpose, yes.

  • Feature Extraction for Image Selection Using Machine Learning
    Master of Science Thesis in Electrical Engineering Department of Electrical Engineering, Linköping University, 2017 Feature extraction for image selection using machine learning Matilda Lorentzon Master of Science Thesis in Electrical Engineering Feature extraction for image selection using machine learning Matilda Lorentzon LiTH-ISY-EX--17/5097--SE Supervisor: Marcus Wallenberg ISY, Linköping University Tina Erlandsson Saab Aeronautics Examiner: Lasse Alfredsson ISY, Linköping University Computer Vision Laboratory Department of Electrical Engineering Linköping University SE-581 83 Linköping, Sweden Copyright © 2017 Matilda Lorentzon Abstract During flights with manned or unmanned aircraft, continuous recording can result in a very high number of images to analyze and evaluate. To simplify image analysis and to minimize data link usage, appropriate images should be suggested for transfer and further analysis. This thesis investigates features used for selection of images worthy of further analysis using machine learning. The selection is done based on the criteria of having good quality, salient content and being unique compared to the other selected images. The investigation is approached by implementing two binary classifications, one regard- ing content and one regarding quality. The classifications are made using support vector machines. For each of the classifications three feature extraction methods are performed and the results are compared against each other. The feature extraction methods used are histograms of oriented gradients, features from the discrete cosine transform domain and features extracted from a pre-trained convolutional neural network. The images classified as both good and salient are then clustered based on similarity measures retrieved using color coherence vectors. One image from each cluster is retrieved and those are the result- ing images from the image selection.

In a rather conventional sense, great performing is often associated with a sense of interiority, becoming your character, identifying with your role. In that sense, a great performer could become anyone else simply by looking deep within herself. Of course, there’s a long history of performance practices that reject this model. Yet whether it is a matter of embracing or rejecting what is, so to speak, on the inside, there is an overarching belief that great performers are uniquely adept at locating themselves and using that self to build a world around them. It is no surprise then that today we are all expected to be great performers. Our lives are filled the endless capacity to shed one skin for another, to produce multiple cyber-personalities on a whim. We are hyperaware that our outsides are malleable and performative—and that our insides might be an endless resource for reinventing and rethinking ourselves (not to mention the world around us). So perhaps it’s almost too obvious to say that Jibz When I was a youth, say, about 8, I played a game in the Cameron, the mastermind behind Dynasty Handbag, is an incredible woods with my friend Ocean where we pretended to be hookers.

  • Ashley and Mary-Kate Olsen for the Row
    Contemporary Designer: Ashley and Mary-Kate Olsen for The Row Natasha Jennette Background Ashley and Mary-Kate Olsen, designers for The Row, were born in Sherman Oaks, California, an affluent mostly white, non-diverse neighborhood in the San Fernando Valley region of Los Angeles (Sherman Oaks Profile-Mapping L.A, 2015). At twenty-nine years old, these actresses have been permanent fixtures in the entertainment industry and have been in the public eye since their first acting job at nine months old (Barron, 2013). They retired from acting at eighteen in 2004 to attend college and assumed ownership of their product licensing and entertainment company Dualstar, which they founded in 1993 at the age of six (Mower, 2011). When this business transfer occurred, the sisters were worth an estimated $274 million (Slowey, 2011). In 2006, two years after the Olsens moved from Los Angeles to New York City to attend college, they founded The Row (Slowey, 2011). This new business venture was not far from what the sisters have done in the past through licensing. The difference was in the passion, influence, and complete ownership of the brand. Education and start of the business The Row was founded when the sisters moved to Manhattan to attend New York University. Although they did not go to school for design, Ashley interned with designer Zac Posen and Mary-Kate interned with photographer Annie Leibovitz (Moore, 2014). The Olsens wanted to design a luxury white t- shirt with a perfect fit to potentially sell in collaboration with The ONE Campaign to fight poverty in Africa.
