Recently researches and many developments were going in the field of automation and embedded systems to develop and reduce the work of the manpower in industry as well as in public domain areas like Railway station (automatic ticket collection), Metro bus (online reservation), Flight (Auto Pilot mode) etc. To develop more Automation in and to help the blind people, old age and handicapped person we proposed a technique named as automatic trolley carrier navigation and the billing system. This method can be implemented in all shopping malls, big clothing shop, house hold appliances shops etc. It avoids the people to stand in a big queue and automatic billing can be done. Moreover it helps blind people, old age people, Handicapped Persons in the shopping malls make them to purchase in shopping malls by informing about the location of the product, quantity, price and automatic billing etc. The arrangement of the trolley consists of the robotic structure and servo motor which makes the trolley tonavigate and tell way of location of the product availability and price based on the user input. Theuser gives the command through the Bluetooth. Then the keypad passes the customer product information to the Micro-controller then the trolley moves automatically. The use of RFID reader is to scan theEPIC tag ID of allproducts to Identifythe name, price, Quantity of the products. Depending on the RF signal from the RFID -reader, it passes the information to the micro - controller and from that it identify the product and display the name , Quantity , price of the each product in the LCD display. The ultrasonic sensor is used to detect the any obstacles as well as the object.

In many public spaces (e.g. colleges and shopping malls), people are frequently distributed discretely, and thus, single-source evacuation, which means there’s only one point of origin, is not always a feasible solution. Hence, this paper discusses a multi-source evacuation model and algorithm, which are intended to evacuate all the people that are trapped within the minimum possible time. This study presents a fast flow algorithm to prioritize the most time-consuming source point under the constraint of route and exit capacity to reduce the evacuation time. This fast flow algorithm overcomes the deficiencies in the existing global optimization fast flow algorithm and capacity constrained route planner (CCRP) algorithm. For the fast flow algorithm, the first step is to determine the optimal solution to single-source evacuation and use the evacuation time of the most time-consuming source and exit gate set as the initial solution. The second step is to determine a multi-source evacuation solution by updating the lower limit of the current evacuation time and the exit gate set continually. The final step is to verify the effectiveness and feasibility of the algorithm through comparison.

The Absolute

<p>In metropolitan cities, we will see an enormous rush at shopping malls on holidays and weekends. This becomes, even more, once there are large offers and discounts. Currently folks purchase a spread of things and place them within the trolley, after buying one ought to approach the counter for billing. By employing a barcode reader the cashier prepares the bill that may be a time overwhelming method. This ends up in long queues at the billing counters. This project presents a plan to build up a framework in shopping centers to beat the above issue. To realize this all merchandise within the mall to be equipped with RFID tags and every one trolley should be equipped with an RFID reader and digital display screen. When one puts any item in the trolley its code will be distinguished naturally, the item name and cost will be shown on the LCD, in this manner the expense gets added to the absolute bill. On the off chance that we wish to expel the item from the trolley, you can remove the item and the measure of that particular item gets deducted from the aggregate sum and a similar data goes to the central billing unit through ZigBee module. Subsequently the billing should be possible in the trolley itself accordingly sparing a ton of time to the clients.</p>

Policy Solutions

Do populists pursue distinct kinds of policies, and if so, how successful are those policies? Populist rhetoric often invokes themes of redistribution insofar as leaders claim that power and resources need to be restored to “the people.” As a result, populists tend to offer a very broad view of social policy that emphasizes security, order, rewards, and punishments. Populists’ narratives may be simple, but once in office, they may face complex problems that call for more sophisticated policy solutions. This study examines whether populist policies fit the messages they deliver to their target voters, and aims to contribute to the development of a methodology for determining that relationship in specific empirical cases. I focus on the case of Russia, which enacted a major change in its old-age pension system in 2018 under the leadership of President Vladimir Putin.

Public Holidays

Nowadays activities such as shopping at big malls is really increasing in various cities. We can see huge crowd at the shopping malls on public holidays ,weekends and specially during the festivals which can cause rush at the billing counters. After purchasing the products the customers need to wait in long queues at the billing counter for payments. At billing counter the cashier needs to scan each product using barcode scanner for calculating the amount of product to generate a bill which is very time consuming. In this project, we are going to implement the RFID card scanner on the trolley itself and an automatic billing system in the shopping malls using the WI-FI to transfer the data into the database . The structure of the trolley consists of a door which will block the products to be entered without scanning for security purpose. The trolley has the inbuilt product code reader. The use of product code reader is to read the RFID cards/tags attached to all products to define the name ,weight ,quantity and price of the products. Depending on the signal from the reader, the controller display the name and price of the each product on the LCD display. The wireless billing system is uses the Wi-Fi for data transfering to the cashier . A load cell has been attached so that even if the RFID is not read, the weight of the product is also been measured. If the weight of the products appears to be more than displayed on the LCD screen product code reader then an error message in billing system so that bill can be generated only for the scanned products.

Benchmark Datasets

In the current era of technological development, human actions can be recorded in public places like airports, shopping malls, and educational institutes, etc., to monitor suspicious activities like terrorism, fighting, theft, and vandalism. Surveillance videos contain adequate visual and motion information for events that occur within a camera’s view. Our study focuses on the concept that actions are a sequence of moving body parts. In this paper, a new descriptor is proposed that formulates human poses and tracks the relative motion of human body parts along with the video frames, and extracts the position and orientation of body parts. We used Part Affinity Fields (PAFs) to acquire the associated body parts of the people present in the frame. The architecture jointly learns the body parts and their associations with other body parts in a sequential process, such that a pose can be formulated step by step. We can obtain the complete pose with a limited number of points as it moves along the video and we can conclude with a defined action. Later, these feature points are classified with a Support Vector Machine (SVM). The proposed work was evaluated on the benchmark datasets, namely, UT-interaction, UCF11, CASIA, and HCA datasets. Our proposed scheme was evaluated on the aforementioned datasets, which contained criminal/suspicious actions, such as kick, punch, push, gun shooting, and sword-fighting, and achieved an accuracy of 96.4% on UT-interaction, 99% on UCF11, 98% on CASIA and 88.72% on HCA.

Decimus Ausonius Magnus (ca 310-394) was a rhetorician, a teacher, a tutor of young Gratian and a highly-ranked, influential official, as well as one of the most famous poets of the late Roman Empire. In his poems, he frequently described the small world he belonged to, the daily routine of his own, of his relatives, professional colleagues and friends. As the poet reached his old age, he made it a subject of his poetry. Ausonius considers old age to be a blessing, a time which permits a wise, generous person to gather fruit of his good deeds and fulfilled duties, to watch children and grandchildren grow and achieve successes, to share one’s wisdom with younger persons. Ausonius shows his grandfather and his grand­mother, his aunts, but first of all his father, Ausonius senior, as the examples of happy old persons, loving and loved, respected and needed by the people who surrounded them. He notices that old persons can be joyful, healthy and beautiful. Writing about old age, he mentions illness only once, while expressing his joy of having recovered and being able to send greetings to the grandson who celebrates his birthday. In spite of his age, Ausonius still loves his wife Sabina, who died many years before, the same way as he loved her when he was a young husband. He is deeply attached to Bissula, the charming German girl cap­tured and given to him by the Emperor Valentinian I probably circa 368. Besides, he really enjoys spending time with his friends and with the Muses. In his epigrams, most of which don’t have personal, but rather literary character, the poet translates, quotes, paraphrases and imitates Greek and Latin epigrams which deal with the theme of old age. Although in Ausonius’ poems exists an obvious resemblance to their models, he grants himself much freedom in his remouldings. Not only he alters circumstantial details, expands or abbrevi­ates the original, bur also uses them as mere starting points of his reflexion. It becomes more important for him to ponder over quickly passing youth or over a lover’s feelings towards a woman who rejected him when she was young, but whom he still admires, than to play a literary game. Ausonius never parodies nor even portrays women trying to attire men in their old age, even though he may mock old men pretending to look younger than they are. Neither he complains about pains and sorrows of old age. In all that, he remains a true Roman and a true gentleman.
