HEALTH IS WEALTH
Exercise Regular physical activity can have numerous benefits for overall health and well-being. It helps burn calories, build muscle, and increase metabolism, promoting weight loss and maintenance. Exercise also helps to improve cardiovascular health, boost mood and energy levels, and reduce the risk of chronic diseases such as diabetes and heart disease. Engaging in regular physical activity can also enhance mental clarity, improve sleep quality, and increase self-esteem and confidence. To maximize the benefits of exercise, it's recommended to engage in a variety of activities for at least 30 minutes a day, most days of the week.

Harvard famously theorized that people differ in their spare time, and that a person's destiny is determined between 8 and 10 p.m
Did mediocrity choose you, or did your subconscious choose mediocrity? Most of the time in work and in life, we want to be somebody, like even in the village, we want others to respect us, we want others to think we are great. However, it is a pity that we find that no matter how strong our subjective desire is, we are still mediocre in the end and do not become the kind of people we imagined. What is the reason? Based on my short life experience and the information I get from reading books, I believe that this is not just due to external causes and birth defects, but that we subconsciously choose mediocrity. This is paradoxical. On the surface, we don't want mediocrity, but why do we subconsciously choose mediocrity?

10 things that shows you aren't elegant ( stop doing them)
Elegance is something I'm craving deeply in my life, particularly when it appears to be the world is turning out to be more disgusting, speedy and depleting. Might we at any point stop briefly and take a full breath? Doesn't that vibe decent? That is where class starts. In spite of well known held convictions, tastefulness isn't tied in with wearing pearls and talking in an English pronunciation. It's likewise not tied in with having large chunk of change or extravagant vehicles. You can be a classy cowgirl or bohemian, as a matter of fact.

We Were Forced To Get Naked in Junior High
One thing about my awkward junior high years I’ll never understand was being forced to shower after class in P.E. At the height of our 6th and 7th-grade insecurity, someone on the school board thought, “Hey. How can we make these kids’ awkwardness any worse? Oh yeah, let’s force them to get naked and shower in front of each other.”

Social Phobia
My dad and his partner came over to visit yesterday. My dog grabbed something out of the bin (as he tries to do about 30 times per day) not long after they arrived so I shouted "No!" and he left it. My dad’s partner then said (talking to my dog rather than to me) that if my dog belonged to him and he went into a cupboard he would "smack your a*** and you would never do it again". I was really angered by this but was not sure how to respond. My dad then responded jokingly to his partner "Hmmm, maybe I should try that with you then", so I just said "Yeah, I was gonna say…" I actually wanted to say "Well it’s a good thing he’s not your dog because he’d probably have some serious aggression issues". I witnessed first-hand increased aggression in the beagle (i.e. one of the most placid dog breeds of all – hence why they were unfortunately used in animal testing laboratories) we had when I was a kid after he had been repeatedly hit/ mistreated by my dad, and this was a dog we’d raised from a puppy and knew the full life history of. I know things would be far worse with my rescue dog, whose puppyhood we know nothing of, and who seems from his behaviour to have been hit or mistreated in the past. I’ve witnessed an almost immediate increase in aggression from him after the few times that my mum has smacked him – he’s bared his teeth a couple of times after she told him off and once snapped at her (he didn’t bite her, he just snapped at the air in front of her, if you see what I mean). He doesn’t do this with me when I tell him off, but my parents apparently can’t see the connection.

Breathing Life Into Your Soul Mate
How do you begin your day? Do you jump out of bed, dash to the gym, and then rush to work from there? When the alarm wakes you from slumber, do you give yourself a moment before the mad rush of your day takes over? You have so many responsibilities between work and family. Most of the time you are rushing from one place to the next without stopping, then fall into bed exhausted at the end of the day, or lie awake with your thoughts spinning with all you did not get done. Who has time to find Mr. Wrong, let alone Mr. Right?

What is the difference between emotion detection and emotion recognition?
Making machines understand you better is what researchers in the field of emotional computing are trying to do. Laughing when you're happy, blushing when you're shy, and talking faster when you're nervous are human expressions of emotion. And these emotions are being understood by machines through collection, recognition and computation. Emotion recognition is the key technology for machines to understand human emotions. From text, speech, facial expressions, body movements, and internal physiological signals, researchers are trying to integrate more emotional signals to make recognition more accurate, and make human-computer interaction more natural, smooth, and warm. Deciphering human emotions In 1995, Professor Rosalind W. Picard of the Media Lab of Massachusetts Institute of Technology first proposed to create a computer system that can perceive, recognize and understand human emotions, and make intelligent, sensitive and friendly responses by identifying human emotional signals. In 1997, Picard's monograph Affective Computing was published, in which she pointed out that "Affective Computing is the calculation that focuses on the external manifestations of human beings, can be measured and analyzed, and can influence the emotions", which opened a new field of computer science. This is where emotional computing begins. In artificial intelligence research institute, tsinghua university and other institutions jointly issued the "emotional calculation of artificial intelligence", emotional calculation is divided into three modules, respectively is the emotional signal acquisition, signal analysis, modeling and recognition of emotion and emotion signal fusion algorithm research, emotion recognition and include language, facial expressions, voice, body, and many other segmentation module. At present, most researches focus on text, facial expression and speech recognition. But most of the time, human emotions are not externalized in the face or the sound of words. Some researchers believe that relying on facial expressions to identify human emotions is not accurate. In 2019, five U.S. experts published an article called Emotional Expressions Reconsidered: In Challenges to Inferring Emotion From Human Facial Movements, the paper points out that the ways people express emotions such as anger, anger, sadness and surprise change with culture and situation, and even in the same situation. Different people use different expressions. "The expression of human emotion is not just words, expressions and sounds. The emotions themselves are very complex. For example, my heart rate, blood pressure, and temperature all change when I'm nervous. "Facial expressions, language, voice, physiological signals and other modes can reflect human emotional changes." Zhijiang Laboratory artificial intelligence research Institute frontier theory research center assistant director Li Taihao pointed out. In 2016, researchers at MIT's Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Lab developed a device called EQ-Radio that can identify emotions via wireless signals. Eq-radio claims to be able to tell with 87 per cent accuracy whether a person is excited, happy, angry or sad by monitoring subtle changes in breathing and heart rate. Li Tae-ho pointed out that the accuracy of single modal emotion recognition is not high, and now multi-modal emotion recognition is a promising direction for researchers. "Speech and physical expressions can be controlled, but physiological signals are not. One mode is difficult to accurately judge the human emotion, now we hope to improve the accuracy of the original single mode through multi-mode, all kinds of perceived information, signal integrated emotion recognition." Multimodal emotion recognition is still at the forefront of research. Mr Lee says there are two big problems in this area that need to be addressed. One is perception. "On the one hand, we need to make breakthroughs in hardware, such as the development of simple and comfortable wearable devices that can accurately capture changes in physiological signals such as heart rate, blood pressure and EEG. On the other hand, some studies are trying to collect physiological signals without contact, such as using machine vision and image processing technology to obtain body temperature, blood pressure and other data. But overall, there is a problem with accuracy." Lee Tae-ho explained. The second is the problem of multi-modal fusion. "The difficulty is how so much information is related to each other, how to integrate multiple modes without relying too much on one mode," Lee said. When the perceptual signals are collected better and the algorithm fusion is improved, machines may be able to recognize emotions more accurately than humans." Let robots have "emotions" When human emotions are deciphered, can be applied in what work and life scenarios? Cases have been reported in the field of autonomous driving. Affectiva Automotive AI, a Boston-based startup, has developed a passenger-focused software product that can help reduce traffic accidents by monitoring drivers' state and identifying emotions from their voice, body language and facial expressions. Leaders of the EQ-Radio project have also predicted that the emotion-recognition device could be used in entertainment, consumer behavior and health care. Movie studios and advertisers can use the system to test audience reactions in real time, and smart home systems can use information about your mood to adjust the temperature, for example. "You don't know how an AD will work until it's launched, and that's where emotion recognition comes in. For example, if an AD is aimed at young people, the advertiser can select a sample in advance and use emotion recognition to determine whether the AD is effective, so as to make corrections." Lee Tae-ho explained. In addition, emotion recognition has been used in the auxiliary diagnosis of mental diseases, education, transportation and other fields. Service robots may be the biggest application scenario for multimodal emotion recognition in the future. In Lee's view, today's robots are task-based, have no temperature and cannot interact "emotionally" with humans. "There are more and more elderly people, and it is very likely that robots will take care of them in the future. If robots are just machines, the elderly may be more lonely. People are social and need to communicate, and service robots must have 'emotion' if they want to be used." In Disney's "Big Hero 6," Baymax is a robot that transforms the hearts of millions of people as a personal health aide and a friend to Hiro, who guides him through his dark days. With the development of artificial intelligence technology such as emotional computing, maybe one day in the future, robots will no longer be cold devices, we can also have warm "baymax".
