  • Planepack Interview with Rebecca Blackburn September 2017
    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. Clothes wise, I take layers.

  • 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.

  • Traveling Tips for Ladies
    TRAVELING TIPS FOR LADIES Virginia Mescher At the Ladies’ and Gentlemen’s of the 1860s, in March, 2004, Maggie Burke did a presentation on traveling in the mid-nineteenth century and that was the inspiration for this topic. Travel in the mid-nineteenth century was difficult in the best of situations but conditions only worsened with adverse circumstances; even this did not stop travel. Travel was especially difficult for women because of the discomfort, dusty and dirty conditions, lack of privacy. Other problems were encountered if the woman was traveling alone. According to Ms. Burke, any woman who traveled without a gentleman escort was considered as traveling alone, even it she were accompanied by another women, a servant, or children. Since it was not considered proper for a women to speak to a gentleman if they had not been introduced, the matter of conducting business was more difficult if a woman had no gentleman to intercede for her. A number of etiquette books addressed the problems of travel for ladies and included suggestions for managing when traveling. The information ranged from what and how to pack, how to safely carry money, proper deportment while traveling, in hotels and eating areas, and on trains and steamboats. Ladies’ magazines also included advice and numerous suggestions for travel garments, bonnets, hoods, and accessories, as well as patterns for traveling bags and reticules. While it would be too cumbersome to include all the travel information found in researching this article, the following excerpts are indicative of the information available to women of the mid- nineteenth century who were traveling, whether on a day trip or on an extended journey.

Hermès has remained a American consumers family business for generations and has successfully avoided recent acquisition women’s accessories attempts by luxury group LVMH. Almost half of the luxury firm’s revenue ($1.5bn status consumption in 2012) is derived from the sale of its leather goods and saddlery, which includes its aspirational brands handbags. A large contributor to sales is global demand for one of its leather acces- sories, the Birkin bag, ranging in price from $10,000 to $250,000. Increased demand for the bag in the United States since 2002 resulted in an extensive customer waitlist lasting from months to a few years. Hermès retired the famed waitlist (sometimes called the ‘dream list’) in the United States in 2010, and while the waitlist has been removed, demand for the Birkin bag has not diminished and making the bag available to luxury consumers requires extensive, careful distribution management. In addition to inventory constraints related to demand for the Birkin bag in the 167 03574_Ch10_Lewis_p165-178.indd 167 3/1/14 9:46:00 AM Tasha L.
