Advanced humanoid robot Asimo just got a new superpower – it can understand three humans shouting at once.For now the modified Asimo’s new ability are being used to judge rock-paper-scissors contests, where three people call out their choices at once. But the number of voices and the complexity of the sentences the software can deal with should grow in future.

Hiroshi Okuno at Kyoto University, and Kazuhiro Nakadai at the Honda Research Institute in Saitama, both in Japan, have designed the new software, which they call HARK.
Quality control

HARK uses an array of eight microphones to work out where each voice is coming from and isolate it from other sound sources. The software then works out how reliably it has extracted an individual voice, before passing it onto speech-recognition software to decode.

That quality control step is important. The other voices are likely to confuse speech recognition software. So any parts of the sound file that contain a lot of background noise across a range of frequencies are automatically ignored when the patched-up recording of each voice is passed on to a speech-recognition system.

The HARK system actually goes beyond normal human listening capabilities, Okuno told New Scientist. “It can listen to several things at once, and not just focus on a particular single sound source.”

While focusing on a single voice among many is known as the “cocktail party effect”, Okuno calls the ability to focus on multiple voices at once the “Prince Shotoku Effect”.

“According to Japanese legend, Prince Shotoku listened to 10 people’s petitions at the same time,” he says.
Eight ‘ears’

Although the HARK software can’t comprehend 10 voices at once yet, Okuno and Nakadai say it can follow three players calling simultaneously at 70 to 80% accuracy when installed into Honda’s Asimo robot.

The array of eight microphones is placed around the Asimo’s face and body, which helps it to accurately detect and isolate simultaneous voices. “The number of sound sources and their directions are not given to the system in advance,” says Nakadai.

Wade through the dirty underwear, discarded magazines and half-eaten sandwiches and you find yourself in the heart of the teenager’s lair. Despite first impressions, this is a high-tech space, bristling with the latest gadgetry. You may call it a bedroom, but to its owner it is an arcade, complete with computer, TV, games console, CD player and other electronic toys. No wonder teenagers stay up till the small hours, then have to be prised from their beds in the morning, only to fall asleep during double history. They are their own worst enemies, willing victims of our 24-hour society.

Or are they? It is comforting to think that teenagers are sleepwalking through their lives by choice, because at least that means we should be able to persuade them to lay down their games consoles and go to bed. But if that is the case, how come their peers in the developing world, in areas that lack basic electricity let alone PlayStations, still stay up late into the night? Is it possible that teenagers just cannot get to sleep earlier? Evidence is emerging to suggest that is indeed the case: teenagers are biologically incapable of going to bed at a sensible time.

This is no trivial matter. If teens are refugees from a different biological time zone, then by making them get up and go to school before their bodies are ready we are not just making school life difficult for them and their teachers, we are also putting them at risk. Sleep deprivation jeopardises their future prospects, their health and even their lives. What’s to be done about it?

Being a teenager is a tiring business. Though experts recommend that adolescents get at least 9 hours sleep a night, only 1 in 5 get that amount, with many saying that they have less than 7 hours on school nights. If late nights are bad for British and Australian teens who have to be in class at 9 am next morning, they have got to be worse for youth in the US, where schools start as early as 7 am, and in much of continental Europe where an 8 am start is the norm. No wonder the most recent survey, published by the US National Sleep Foundation in March, found that more than a quarter of 11 to 17-year-olds fall asleep in class at least once a week, and that over 50 per cent say they do not get enough sleep and feel tired during the day.

So why don’t teenagers just turn out the lights, go to bed and get a good night’s sleep? It’s now looking as though they just can’t.

It has long been clear that different individuals can have markedly different sleep patterns. Most of us display some degree of “morningness” or “eveningness”: we are either “larks” or “owls”. This is largely a matter of genetics. Natural early risers are born that way, and so are people who prefer to get up late and stay up deep into the night.

Perhaps you think you stand no chance of clocking up a century. You know that longevity depends in large part on having the right genes, and one glance at the family tree may reveal that yours just won’t pass muster. If so, think on this: centenarians are the fastest-growing demographic group across much of the developed world. Assuming there hasn’t been a miraculous Methuselah mutation in the human genome in the past hundred-odd years, we can draw only one conclusion: the way we live is stretching our lifespans. So, what are the secrets of a long and happy life?

1 Go for the burn

How’s this for an elixir of youth: an X-ray, a mild case of sunburn, a couple of beers and a sauna. If you think all that would leave you feeling anything but youthful, think again. Many researchers believe that small doses of “stressors” such as poisons, radiation and heat can actually be good for you - so good that they can even reverse the ageing process. This counter-intuitive effect, called “hormesis”, was once considered flaky, but in recent years it has been shown to extend longevity in yeast, fruit flies, protozoans, worms and rodents. If the findings extend to people, it could stretch the average healthy human lifespan to 90, says biologist Joan Smith-Sonneborn of the University of Wyoming in Laramie.

How so? Stressors seem to kick-start natural repair mechanisms, including heat-shock proteins and DNA-repair enzymes, to fix the damage they have caused. If this damage is not too severe, the repair systems may overcompensate, building up enough oomph to repair unrelated damage as well. And if you accept the idea that damage equals ageing, this is nothing less than rejuvenation.

There is already some indirect evidence that hormesis has positive effects on human longevity. Between 1980 and 1988, researchers at Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, Maryland, tracked 28,000 nuclear shipyard workers to study the effects of low doses of radiation. To their surprise, they found that the mortality rate of these workers was 24 per cent lower than in a control group of 32,500 shipyard workers of similar ages who were not exposed to radiation.

2 Don’t be a loner

Being sociable looks like one of the best ways to add years to your life. Relationships with family, friends, neighbours, even pets, will all do the trick, but the biggest longevity boost seems to come from marriage or an equivalent significant-other relationship. The effect was first noted in 1858 by William Farr, the British founding father of demography, when he penned (with quill) that widows and widowers were at a much higher risk of dying than their married peers. Large statistical studies carried out since then suggest that marriage could add as much as seven years to a man’s life and two years to a woman’s. The effect holds for all causes of death, whether through illness, accident or self-harm.

Even if the odds are stacked against you, marriage can more than compensate. Linda Waite of the University of Chicago has found that a married older man with heart disease can expect to live nearly four years longer than an unmarried man with a healthy heart. Likewise, a married man who smokes more than a pack a day is likely to live as long as a divorced man who does not smoke. There is a flip side, however, as partners are more likely to become ill or die in the couple of years following their spouse’s death or hospitalisation, and caring for a spouse with dementia can leave you with some of the same severe cognitive problems, largely because of disturbed sleep patterns. Even so, the odds favour marriage. What’s more, in a 30-year study of more than 10,000 people, Nicholas Christakis of Harvard Medical School describes how all kinds of social networks have similar effects.

3 Consider relocation

The world is dotted with longevity hotspots where the number of centenarians exceeds 10 in 100,000. But why? Perhaps the locals are genetically primed for longevity. It could be something in the water. Or it may simply be that these are statistical flukes - places were oldies outnumber youngsters, so increasing the proportion likely to pass the 100 mark. Whatever the reason, the very existence of hotspots raises the question of what sort of environment is most conducive to a long life.

While small doses of radiation and toxins can be beneficial, a neighbourhood humming with either is an obvious no-no. There are also some more subtle environmental influences you should avoid if you want to live long and prosper. A recent study of elderly residents from a poor area of St Louis, Missouri, found that factors such as low air quality and dirty streets tripled the likelihood of their suffering from disabilities in later life. Likewise, a survey by Scottish newspaper The Scotsman in January found that people living in the poorest suburbs of Glasgow had a life expectancy of just 54 - three decades shorter than people in wealthier areas.

4 Make a virtue out of a vice

One of the most informative studies of healthy ageing to date has been conducted at the convent of the School Sisters of Notre Dame in Mankato, Minnesota. The nuns there, around 1 in 10 of whom have reached their hundredth birthday, teach us that a healthy old age is often a virtuous one - which means no drinking or smoking, eating healthily and in moderation, and living quietly, harmoniously and spiritually. But clean living is not to everyone’s taste. Besides, what is the point of living to 100 if you can’t enjoy a few wicked indulgences? Assuming you will have some vices, the trick is to choose them wisely.

The idea that one glass of wine a day is actually good for you is now ingrained in the popular consciousness. Some say that wine is what underlies the “French paradox”, the unexpectedly low rate of heart disease in the Mediterranean population. Wine does contain fruit antioxidants, but many of these chemicals are also found in the raw fruit. Beer too has its health lobby. The research literature is rather at a loss to explain these effects, or even to agree that they exist. While the issue is still in doubt, however, is it worth the risk of not drinking?

Another vice that you probably shouldn’t fight too hard is sleep. If you love your duvet, sleep easier knowing the findings of Till Roenneberg of the University of Munich in Germany. He showed that unless you can reset your body clock with lots of bright light and good discipline, fighting your natural lark or owl tendencies can be bad for your health.

5 Exercise the little grey cells

Your best shot at living out a century with an active enough mind to know about it is probably to become a nun. Not only are there many centenarians among the Minnesota nuns studied by David Snowdon of the Sanders-Brown Center on Aging at the University of Kentucky in Lexington, but some of them also seem very resilient to the effects of Alzheimer’s disease and other forms of dementia.

Not prepared to take holy orders for the sake of your continuing mental health? Then you had better be smart in the first place. By our mid-twenties, our mental faculties have already reached their peak in terms of reasoning, spatial awareness and memory. After that, things start to decline. The best way to get around this is to start with some excess capacity. Study after study has shown that intelligence, good education, literacy and high-status jobs all seem to protect people from the mental ravages of old age and provide some resistance to the symptoms, if not the brain shrinkage, of dementia. Brain researchers and doctors are starting to refer to it as brain or cognitive reserve.

Some think the effect is simply about having a long way to fall. Others suspect it is more about greater mental efficiency or having alternative options and back-up plans for solving any given problem. Either way, cognitive reserve is a hot research area right now. It seems that boosting your mental capacity might have as potent an effect as the drugs that are already available for dementia. Better yet, it is never too late to begin your cognitive workout. Mental gymnastics are definitely on the agenda - everything from reading to learning new things to interacting with people rather than being a couch potato. But don’t stop with mental exercises. At least one study has shown that older mice produced new brain cells faster and learned quicker than sedentary creatures when they were put on an exercise programme.

6 Smile!

Centenarians have surprisingly little in common, but one thing most do share is their love of a laugh. “These people are gregarious and fun to be with,” says Tom Perls from the New England Centenarian Study. He reckons the key is how they respond to stress. Although a little stress may be good for you, sustained and severe stress can cut your life expectancy. Perls suspects that people born with a sunny disposition cope better with stress, which increases their chances of reaching a ripe old age.

7 Nurture your inner hypochondriac

One obvious piece of advice for anyone wishing to become a healthy centenarian is this: if you’re sick, go see a doctor. But what if you are ill and don’t know it? Lots of life-threatening diseases have innocuous beginnings, and some remain symptom-free until it is too late. Clearly, it can pay to anticipate the worst. So, what are the most effective preventive measures to take, and when should you take them?

Those searching for an early warning system will find a bewildering range of options. A few hundred dollars buys you a full-body CT scan, capable of spotting silent tumours or early signs of heart disease. Numerous cancers and diseases such as diabetes can be picked up early with other simple tests. Meanwhile, genetic screens can tell you whether you have an elevated risk of developing, say, breast cancer, so that you can be extra vigilant.

8 Watch what you eat

There’s good news and bad news for anyone who wants to eat their way to 100. The good news is that you may be able to do it. The bad news is that there won’t be much eating involved. The only proven strategy to extend lifespan is caloric restriction - deliberately eating just enough to get by. This extends the lives of mice by about 30 per cent, and if humans enjoyed the same boost that would be enough to nudge life expectancy past the century mark.

9 Get a life

So, you’re well on your way to reaching the big one-zero-zero. How are you going to make the most of those extra years? What you need is a bit of excitement along the way. Take some risks. Not only will new experiences bring you pleasure, you may also find they have added benefits.

 If there is one thing we can be certain of in life, it’s that eventually we will die – that is, we will no longer be alive. Sadly we are not completely certain what “being dead” means: defining death is much more complicated than it appears, and it’s getting harder to define all the time.

As recently as a century ago, it was priests not doctors who declared a person dead. When in doubt, they looked for signs of putrefaction. As medicine advanced, however, it became apparent that death was not an event, but a process.

Even so, for practical purposes an arbitrary line had to be drawn. First it was taken as the heart stopping. Then came the notion of brain death and in the 1960’s this seemed like the way forward. For a while it was even considered foolproof: once activity ceases in the brain and brain stem you can never regain consciousness, and without intervention the body will quickly shut down.

But foolproof it is not, and the fact that several hundred neurologists and philosophers are gathering next May for the fifth International Symposium on the Definition of Death shows this only too well.

Technology brings problems

The real spanner in the works was the invention of ventilators – machines that keep lungs breathing and hearts pumping even after the brain has suffered extensive damage. This raised for the first time the question of whether people could or should be treated as dead simply because their brain was dead.

One set of philosophers argues that the destruction of the frontal lobes, with the memories and personality they store, is enough to declare someone dead. This definition includes those in a “permanent vegetative state“. Others resist the idea of brain death altogether and insist that the heart must stop beating before a body can be treated as dead.

The compromise “whole-brain-death” position, which has been written into law in most of the industrialised world, is that a person can only be declared dead if almost all brain function has been irreversibly destroyed.

Whichever definition is adopted, there are many practical and political implications: after all, doctors are generally obliged to treat the living and stop treating the dead. Some bioethicists have even proposed that individuals should choose their own definition of death.

As diagnostic technologies have advanced, declaring total and irreversible brain death has become ever more problematic. In the 1990’s medical advances allowed residual brain activity to be detected in many patients who would have previously been considered brain-dead.

Death of identity

The growing ability to compensate for loss of the brain’s regulation over the body means doctors can maintain some brain-dead bodies indefinitely. We have also discovered more about the brain’s self-repair mechanisms and are rapidly developing new ways to repair damaged brains. It may soon be possible to engineer new neural tissue from patients’ cells and transplant it into damaged areas. Progress in nanotechnology and the miniaturisation of computing will also eventually allow brain damage to be repaired with implantable machines.

All these advances make defining brain death increasingly difficult – and our ability to rebuild destroyed brains may eventually force us to develop a brand new definition of death, based not on brain activity but on personal identity: would you be the same person if your entire brain, including all your memories and personality, were destroyed and then grown anew?

What is it like to die?

It seems it is not death per se that scares most people: once you’re dead (really dead, that is) you won’t know anything about it. What does seem to frighten people is the process of dying, and whether it will be painful. So do we have any idea about how it might feel to die? Of course there are not many people to ask.

But a few people have died and been brought back. Their tales, together with extrapolating from medical experience, can shed light on what it’s like to meet your end in various different ways: from electrocution to hanging, and from drowning to lethal injection (beware – this article is not for the faint-hearted!). The latter - lethal injection - is another extremely contentious issue. It’s been branded too unreliable, too painful and just plain inhumane.

But it’s not always blood and gore: if you’re lucky enough to die peacefully of old age, that is.

Dealing with loss

Another potentially frightening event is the death of a loved one. It can certainly be a very sad and painful time. There are thought to be five main stages of grief: disbelief, yearning, anger, depression and finally, acceptance. The most common emotional difficulty experienced is, unsurprisingly, emotional loneliness.

Losing a partner is generally assumed to be one of the most stressful experiences that people encounter. Marriage is such a strong bond that if one partner dies, the person left behind is put at a significant risk of following suit: it’s known as the “widower effect”.

The science behind how grief affects the body is still in its infancy, but it is thought to act via stress. Lack of close support can also increase risky behaviour, such as heavy drinking. And the risks differ according to the way a person dies: if somebody dies of an illness that needs prolonged and burdensome care, then their surviving partner has a higher chance of dying.

It is a curious fact that the widower effect tends to affect white people more than black people; perhaps because elderly black people tend to receive more support from friends and family than elderly whites.

For those married people who think this appears too bleak, don’t despair: marriage is intrinsically healthy. The elevated risk of dying associated with losing a partner is lower than for those who are single or who never married.

Animals feel grief too

It seems that it’s not just humans that experience grief, animals also appear to do so. Elephants are thought to mourn the dead, and gorillas have been seen holding wakes.

It is not just the loss of someone close that appears to induce grief. Take the tragic deaths of people caught in the 9/11 bombings or the death of Princess Diana. This may not be grief after all, but rather a morbid fascination with death. Many people engage in an increasingly popular pursuit known as dark tourism, which involves visiting sites where people have suffered or died in tragic circumstances, such as the killing fields of Cambodia, the ruins of New Orleans, or the extermination camps of Auschwitz-Birkenau.

The motivations behind dark tourism are not clear-cut. Sometimes it is to pay respects to a loved one, but it may also be to connect with an event seen on TV, to learn more about what happened, or simply out of curiosity. Or perhaps it’s because death has been almost completely hidden from everyday life in most developed countries that people feel the need to readdress this balance.

What happens after death?

So when it comes to death, what are we sure of? Well we know what happens to your body from the moment you leave it. Unless frozen or mummified, dead bodies inevitably decompose.

As soon as the heart stops, gravity takes hold. Sometimes only minutes after death, a purple stain appears where the blood settles in the lowermost parts of the body. The skin and muscles sag, the body cools, and within 2 to 6 hours rigor mortis sets in.

Starting with a stiffening of the muscles in the eyelids, it spreads throughout the body before the muscles relax again. Rigor mortis can last between 1-4 days depending on various factors, not least the ambient temperature.

Two or three days after death, the body starts to putrefy. Bacteria which normally inhabit the body, especially the bowel, take over. The first sign of putrefaction is a green discolouration, which eventually spreads over most of the body before turning it purple and finally black.

Jung Ji Hoon, born on the 25th of June 1982 is a well known actor and singer in South Korea.. He uses his stage name, Bi (pronounced: “Bee” which means Rain in Korean), when he performs as a singer and dancer. His real name is Jung Ji Hoon, which he uses when he performs as an actor. His surname is Jung and his given name is Ji Hoon (also spelled as Ji Hun)

He discovered his passion for dancing ever since he was in the 6th grade. As a teenager, he was part of the boyband group called “fanclub” and years after the group ended, Park Jin Young (Korean producer/singer who worked with American singers Will Smith, Mase, Lil’ Kim, 3LW, Tyrese) took Bi under his wings after he auditioned for JYP entertainment and trained him for years in dancing and singing. Bi was a back-dancer for a famous Korean singer named Park Ji Yoon and Park Jin Young himself. During those training years, Bi was not at home much and would lie to his parents telling them he was gonna study in the library while in fact he went to the dance studio. He struggled financially and at times had to go without meals. Nevertheless, he continued to focus on his dance and singing even though he was anxiously waiting for his debut.

Finally in 2002 he debuted with the song “nappun namja (bad guy)” charming fans with his singing and powerful choreography. After the 1st album, he starred in the drama “Sangdoo Hakyo Gaja (sangdoo let’s go to school)”; many people were impressed by his acting skills regardless that it was his first time acting in a drama. Following the success of his debut, he came back with a new set of style in his 2nd album and hit song “how to avoid the sun”.

In 2004, he starred in another successful drama called “Full House” which has aired in other Asian countries such as the Philippines, Indonesia, Singapore, Taiwan, Hong Kong, China, Malaysia, Vietnam, Thailand, Japan and was one of the highest rating Korean drama which has won the hearts of many fans across Asia. His performance in Full House has won him the Best Actor Award at the KBS Acting Awards

His 3rd album “it’s raining” has been released in Japan, Taiwan, Hong Kong, China, Singapore, Indonesia, Thailand and has top the foreign music charts in those countries; the album has sold more than 1 million in Asia and it is still in the process of being released in other Asian countries as well (soon to be in the Philippines). His concert called “Rainy day” which was held in Korea and Japan had concert tickets sold out on the first day. Jung Ji Hoon (Bi / Rain)

The American hip hop singer Lil’ Kim has offered Bi to work with her on her new album, the group 3LW also collaborated with Bi on their album. The Korean Pop sensation, Bi received the 2004 “KBS Daesang Award” in Korea (Daesang is the highest Korean music award) and he has won the MTV Asia Grand Slam; a series of awards in the Asian countries that broadcast MTV Asia. He won the “Favorite Artist of Korea” from the 2005 MTV Asia Aid held in Bangkok and the “Popular Asian Artist Award” from Channel [V] Thailand, he also won the “Best Buzz Asia Award” during the MTV Japan Video Music Award 2005 and in Beijing he won the “Best Korean Singer” award in the MTV-CCTV Mandarin Music Honors. He is invited to perform in the American MTV Video Music Awards 2005 held in Miami and also at the MTV Latin Video Music Awards 2005 in Mexico. Since his debut in 2002, the 23 year old has been one of the most popular Korean artists in Asia. The success he achieved through his hard work is a promise that he made to his late mother.

<br>

In 2005, Bi clinched the Best Buzz Asia from Korea at the MTV Video Music Awards Japan 2005. He also won the best Korean singer award 2005 at the Mandarin Music Honors in Taiwan. Having been voted as the best Asian singer by the Taiwanese media, Bi is positioning himself as one of the most admired Asian stars this year. Wherever he goes, he generates huge public interest and becomes a hot topic of conversation. His every move is monitored by the media and draws keen attention from music fans. Bi is currently on an Asian music tour which started in Seoul and will travel to Tokyo and Hong Kong. He is creating and showcasing fresh new spectacles at every single concert, and tickets are selling out quickly as a result. His first solo concert in Japan last summer, entitled “Rainy Day Japan” and held at the Tokyo International Forum, was so popular that all the tickets were sold out 30 seconds after going on sale. And the tickets for another of his concerts in Taiwan were sold out the moment they became available. Bi continues to set records in Asia. Now planning to go beyond Japan and Hong Kong, Bi will make a foray into China by giving a concert in Beijing.

Rain Bi’s personality and charm sweeping Asia
The Japanese pronounce Bi as “Pi,” and they also describe the singer with another term as well. During one of his concerts in Japan, Bi enthralled his fans with a powerful and masculine performance onstage. But when he chatted with fans after the concert, he surprised his fans by displaying a boyish and playful demeanor, earning him the label “Kawai,” which means “cute” in Japanese. He is known as a powerful man onstage and a “cute” persona offstage. It is this characteristic that makes his fans crazy about him. Bi is famous for trying his best in whatever he does. He is arguably the best dancer in the nation, because he learned to dance onstage as a backup dancer for an already-established singer before his own debut. It is hard to define his dancing with simple words because it is a mixture of so many diverse elements. He has created a whole new style of his own by integrating diverse genres of dance over the course of his long dancing career.

Singer Park Jin-young, who heads the entertainer management company to which Bi belongs, once told a radio show that “I was always wondering whether [Bi] understood what I told him because he never replied even when I scolded him. One day I entered Bi’s room, and ended up breaking into tears.” Bi, who was then an aspiring singer, was poor at expressing his emotions verbally to his older colleague. But what Park discovered in Bi’s room was a wall covered with “post-it” stickers. Every single sticker was filled with notes of what Park had told and advised him. Bi had written down every single piece of advice his older friend had given him, and had been doing his utmost to correct his mistakes and improve his skills.

It can be said that this latent passion for excellence is what made Bi what he is today. And Bi has great potential for further development because he always tries his best to sharpen his current skills through ceaseless practice. He is truly a believer in the saying, “Opportunity visits those who make great efforts.” There is no doubt that Bi will reach beyond Asia to become a global star someday because of his enormous talent and tireless work ethic. The success he achieved through his hard work is a promise that he made to his late mother.

final examination is coming and all the students are busy in working their clearance..we have so much to do, projects in major subjects, requirements in signing the clearance and in preparing for the final exam.. today, we had our last class in physics..a part of me felt happy and half of it was sad..happy because at last i have no more physics (don’t know if i will pass) and sad because i will miss the memories, memories of not understanding the lessons.. i hate physics,during examination we have to memorize all the formulas.. maybe i will love this subject if the teacher will allow us open notes during the exam..i hate deriving formulas and physics makes my life worst..worst in the sense of thinking that physics is one of our major subject and if i will pass this subject.

Last meeting, our teacher gave us a quiz.. its so very hard and guess what, that quiz gave me a headache..when we go to main for our next subject i want to absent because my head is aching because of that quiz..

ROCKS MY WORLD!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Out of love, you gave me rose

Out of rose, I gave you my rose

I gave you my rose, out of my love

For us to share, his bounty above.

But time is cruel and your rose it stole,

For seizure is his passion and his dreadful role.

The rose that I gave you is perpetually yours

Even if time decides to seize its flavors.

Still I am certain that in the end

You and I can surely depend,

that out of love and out of rose

Life will reign when love’s seed grows.
