Billy 報你知 5/11
日本女機器人 專聞壞口氣



Robot-making company CrazyLabo has created robots that will not hesitate to tell you that you're having a bad breath or foot odor emergency.


 The CrazyLabo robots smell your breath and feet and react with snarky comments to let you know just how bad a choice that onion bagel really was. The robots come in two makes: a female humanoid and a dog. The female humanoid smells the user's breath and responds with a series of exaggerated verbal reactions such as, "Yuck! You have bad breath!" and "Emergency taking place!". The robot dog smells the user's feet and reacts physically by either nestling up to the user or by rolling over and falling unconscious.


 The two robots both analyze odors and quantify their components before evaluating them on a scale of one to four. The dog robot, however, needs another trigger. Beethoven's Symphony No. 5 must be playing in the background while he sniffs around.


 The CrazyLabo robots, while brutally honest, offer hilariously helpful advice for garlic-eaters everywhere.


日本女機器人 專聞壞口氣

【台灣醒報記者莊瑞萌綜合報導】美女機器人,可告訴你今天口氣如何!日本一家公司推出專聞「怪氣味」的機器人,除了有美女幫你聞氣味外,還會告訴你今天口氣如何。為了討好廣大的寵物飼主,公司還推出可愛的狗狗機器人,一樣會告訴你今天身上是否有怪味道,研發公司表示,推出這款機器人,目的在博君一笑,是否實用要看反映。



日本機器人製造公司 CrazyLabo與九州國立科技大學,共同開發出2款幫忙聞口氣的機器人,第一款是模仿真人外表維妙維肖的美女機器人「香織」(Kaori),棕髮碧眼的香織可以透過嘴巴吸進對方吐出的口氣,幾秒鐘馬上告訴你今天的口氣如何,從「好口氣」到「臭死人」等4種不同結果都有。


另一款則是相當可愛的狗狗機器人「谷川俊」(Shuntaro),狗狗機器人還會播放貝多芬《第五號命運交響曲》音樂,透過狗狗敏銳的鼻子,聞過主人的腳丫子味道後,如果經過一天忙碌氣味還是宜人,狗狗就會在主人身上轉圈撒嬌,如果味道連狗都不敢恭維,牠就會裝死。


開發聞臭機器人的CrazyLabo負責人堤劍之助表示,機器人身上安裝了可偵測空氣臭味的偵測器,他說,當初日本發生大地震後,造成死傷無數,全國陷入一片愁雲慘霧,「我真的無言以對,因此才想要製造一些東西,讓日本人重拾往日笑容。」


該公司除了推出令人發噱聞臭機器人外,未來還將進一步推出「判斷誰在說謊」機器人,仿造童話故事裡小木偶說謊鼻子變長的情節,機器人會透過思考,判斷到底誰在說謊。


App軟體 追蹤手機主人的心情


App taps phone and personal clues to your happiness

EmotionSense The app aims to combine phone data with perceived emotions


Researchers at Cambridge University have developed an app that tries to track happiness by combining smartphone data with users' perception of mood.


EmotionSense collects information about where users are, how noisy the environment is and whom they are communicating with.


It then combines this data with the user's own report about mood.


The app is part of a project to see how mobile phones can be used to improve health and wellbeing.


Emotional state


Mood-tracking apps already exist but the team from the Cambridge Computer Laboratory think this is the first time that user-input data and phone information sources have been combined.


"Most other attempts at software like this are coarse-grained in terms of their view of what a feeling is," said Dr Jason Rentfrow, a senior lecturer in the department of psychology at Cambridge University.


"Many just look at emotions in terms of feeling happy, sad, angry or neutral. The aim here is to use a more flexible approach, to collect data that shows how moods vary between people. That is something which we think is quite unique to the system we have designed," he said.


When the app is opened for the first time, a sensor that tells the researchers what time of day it is is unlocked. The app spends roughly a week collecting data from this sensor and testing it against the user's emotional state.


瞞不過它 App追蹤心情超準(中央社)


英國劍橋大學研究人員推出1款智慧型手機App軟體,可以結合手機上資料及使用者的心情感官,追蹤手機主人的心情。


(中央社記者黃貞貞倫敦8日專電)英國劍橋大學研究人員推出1款智慧型手機App軟體,結合手機上資料及使用者的心情感官,追蹤手機主人的心情,提供給心理醫師判讀,希望透過手機改善使用者的健康與生活。


 這款名為EmotionSenseApp軟體,可以蒐集手機使用者所在的地點,環境有多吵雜,及使用者正和誰通話,再集合使用者輸入有關心情的資料,就可以追蹤出手機主人的心情。


 有關心情追蹤的App市面上已有,劍橋大學電腦實驗室不同之處是,首次將手機的資訊與使用者輸入的資料結合起來。


 劍橋大學心理系資深講師任福羅博士(Dr Jason Rentfrow)表示,一般有關心情顯示的APP較為粗糙,只是顯示喜怒哀樂或無感等感覺,但劍橋的這款新App採用的方式較有彈性,蒐集人與人互動時心情的變化,這是此軟體獨到之處。


 EmotionSense第一次被啟動時,感應器會告訴研究人員當時的時間,大約蒐集了1週的資料後,會再針對使用者的情緒變化做檢驗。之後使用者會再被要求完成生活滿意度調查,此時會再開啟另1個感應器。


 研究人員說,總計8週會開啟所有的感應器,包括從使用者傳送多少簡訊、打過多少電話、拜訪的地點、活動路線,以手機和他人互動的頻率等,判斷使用者的社交能力。


 帶領這項研究的雷斯亞博士(Dr. Neal Lathia)說,這個App讓使用者可以一步步了解影響他們心情變化的因子,這對於了解人如何看待事情及他們的行為舉止相當有幫助。例如,有些人說自己很快樂,但是可能已停止和朋友往來。

Australia’s ‘Best Jobs In The World’
Campaign Draws 40,000 Hopefuls (By Mark Johanson)


More than 330,000 people from 196 countries around the world expressed interest in Australia’s “Best Jobs In The World” campaign. Now, 40,000 hopefuls will vie for the position of a lifetime.


Applications closed Wednesday for the six “dream jobs”: chief “funster” in New South Wales, lifestyle photographer in Melbourne, Outback adventurer in Northern Territory, park ranger in Queensland, taste master in Western Australia and wildlife caretaker in South Australia.


Work descriptions included things like “sleep under the stars in a bush camp,” “talk to wallabies and cuddle koalas” or “tour the best restaurants, wineries, breweries, pubs and lobster eateries.” Each position comes with an A$50,000 salary and A$50,000 for living expenses for a six-month commitment.


The 40,000 applicants competing for the six positions each submitted a 30-second video on the competition website. The organizers will announce a shortlist of the top 25 applications for each job on April 24. Then, they’ll fly the top 18 finalists to Australia in June for a final interview before announcing the winners at a media event on June 21.


Andrew McEvoy, managing director of Tourism Australia, said the competition “clearly struck a chord with the world.”


In a few months, there’s going to be six very, very happy people getting a dream job offer and a life-changing opportunity to work and play in our great country,” he enthused.


Best Jobs in the World” is based on a 2009 Queensland campaign of the same name. It received 34,000 applicants from 200 countries and an unprecedented amount of international publicity after the tourism board offered one lucky person A$150,000 and the chance to be the “caretaker” of a paradisiacal island in the Great Barrier Reef.


Tourism Queensland figures that for the A$1 million it spent on the campaign, it generated about A$70 million in global publicity in the first month alone and A$200 million overall.


Questions:



1. What are your ideal jobs?


In you opinion, what is the perfect job?




2. Where are the best places to work around the world?


3. Listing best-paying jobs in Taiwan ?


Listing dangerous jobs in Taiwan?


4. What are the highest paying jobs in the world?



How much money you consider as a high pay job?


5. Would you dare to risk your life and get a high good payment?


6. Would you like to work with wild animal?

Joke----Bragging


Whose father was the stronger Will and Bill were quarrelling about whose father was the stronger. Will said, "Well, you know the Pacific Ocean ? My father's the one who dug the hole for it." Bill wasn't impressed, "Well, that's nothing. You know the Dead Sea ? My father's the one who killed it!"

维爾说:“喂,你知道太平洋吧?那個坑就是我爸爸挖挖的。”



比爾無動於衷:“嗨,那算什麼。你知道死海吧?那就是我爸爸打死的!

Bragging—When is it OK and When is it Not OK?


(by Susan Krauss Whitbourne, Ph.D)


Almost no one likes a show-off but almost everyone likes to show off, at least a little.  Some showing off happens by accident and some in a deliberate attempt to manipulate others. In either case, though, you run the risk of looking a bit too satisfied with yourself if not downright conceited.


The best way to brag about yourself to others is probably not to brag at all. Let other people do the bragging for you.  However, because our feelings of self-esteem and self-confidence rest on being able to take pride in our achievements, it’s not only okay, but healthy, to brag about yourself to yourself. Giving yourself a mental pat on the back for a job well done can help boost your feelings of self-efficacy, prepare you for future successes, and even avoid the experience of depression. You don’t have to hide your light completely under a bushel, though. Later I’ll show you how to claim your bragging rights without looking too boastful.


There is surprisingly little research in psychology on bragging, though there is plenty on the related concept of narcissism, where you become excessively full of pride (even though you may not feel that way on the inside). There is also a great deal of research on the flip side of bragging, which is depression and low self-esteem. Fortunately, University of Manchester social psychologist Susan Speer (2012) provides us with an excellent article on the less pejorative term “self-praise.” Her work highlights the ways to brag that will get you in trouble along with the one way that is reasonably acceptable. She bases these on two considerations: epistemology and social norms.

Questions:


1. Why do people bragging?

2. Why some people can't stop bragging? How to stop people bragging?


3. Bragging—when is it ok and when is it not ok?


4. Can people benefit by bragging?

5. Is bragging a good/bad thing?


6. Do you ever over exaggerate/bragging?

How to deal with people who over exaggerate?

Great And Effective Communication Skills Tips (communicationtalk.com)

Effective communication skills are especially important to develop because there is so much confusion and misinterpretation that problems and misunderstandings always arise.

 1. Word Choice

 What happens from the time you think of something to say and actually say it is dramatic. Your thought process might be very clear; however what you communicate in words is often significantly less clear if you do not have effective communication skills.

 This is because when you have a thought you have all of the information that makes the thought clear. However, when you put that thought into words all of the information is not available to the listener and as a result a lot of confusion can occur.

 So, in order to keep this from happening think of what you want to say before you say it and make sure you say it clearly, concisely and be very specific so as to eliminate as many problems as possible when the listener hears what you are saying. This is key to ensure effective communication skills.

 2. Receiver Perception

 Problems do not just occur when you make a statement, they also occur when people listen to what you have to say. This is because they have their own perception of what you are saying, or not saying, and why you might be saying it. Because of this more misunderstandings occur especially if there is a lack of effective communication skills.

 People will make assumptions and not really listen to what is being said, which creates even more problems. As a result, during a conversation when both parties do not choose words carefully and do not listen carefully very little of what was intended is actually heard. the absence of effective communication skills can cause a breakdown.

 3. Body Language and Non Verbal Cues

 Effective communication skills includes body language. Body language and non-verbal cues are also the source of confusion and misinterpretation of what is being said and what is being heard. Make sure your body language emphasizes what you are saying rather than contradicts it.

 Facial expressions should also be considered because they often times send signals as well that are different from what is being said. Also, many times people respond to non verbal cues more than to what they actually hear, so if your non verbal cues are not communicating the same thing you are saying then you will have miscommunication problems.

 How to Enjoy Life  (wikihow)

Enjoying life is often thought to be a mindset, the result of reflection, action and gratitude. Making small changes to your life soon add up to greater enjoyment in life.

1. Get a pet. Owning a pet provides love, companionship, and hours of entertainment. Pet ownership has health benefits too, such as reducing your blood pressure and the risk of heart disease, increasing your feelings of well-being and connectedness, and teaching you lessons in empathy and nurturing.[1] For extra warm and fuzzy feelings, consider rescuing a pet from your local shelter.

2. Get into music. Listening to music taps into your brain’s imagination and sense of self-identity, boosts your self-esteem, and lessens feelings of isolation.[2] Listening to music feels empowering. Put on your favorite album––or that one you keep meaning to dive into, turn up the volume, and cut out all other distractions so that you can really experience the music.

3. Start the day with a smile. Your facial expression is traditionally thought of as a window into how you feel, but it's also thought that your facial expression can influence your mood.[4] Therefore, be sure to smile freely, to ensure that your mood is upbeat. You might even want to greet yourself in the mirror with a smile first thing in the morning––that happy face may be just enough to keep that mood flowing all day long.

4. Take a break. A decent break doesn’t mean zoning out to the TV or going down the internet rabbit hole. It means setting some time aside and making it special. As a thank-you to yourself, give yourself a vacation or “staycation”; a change of scenery––even if it just means having a picnic in your backyard or building a fort with your kids in the living room. Taking a break that is different from the ordinary and lets you "hang loose" can do wonders for your sense of fun, escape, and fulfillment.

5. Spend time with interesting people. It is well known that people with a wide circle of friends tend to live longer.[5] Of course, birds of a feather flock together, and it’s also been shown that your friends’ behavior can actually have a big impact on yours.[6] Make sure you hang around with positive, interesting people to inspire yourself to live a richer life.
 Questions:
1. Ways to enjoy your life?
2. How to get happiness when you're sad?


3. How to get rid of all your worries, fear and stress


4. How to live life to the fullest?

How to make your life interesting?

5. Are you satisfied with your lifestyle/ job ?
6. Are you dare to step out of your comfort zone and to take a adventure?

'Suspended coffee' tradition inspires noodle vendor in Taiwan (By Jay Chen)

 


Taipei, April 12 (CNA) For the past two weeks, a noodle shop in New Taipei has served noodles to people in need for free in honor of the Italian tradition of "caffe sospeso," or suspended coffee, and the practice is already resonating in other small businesses nearby.


 


The soup noodles are in fact not free but paid for in advance by other customers so that they are reserved, or "suspended," for people who cannot afford the shop's fare.



 

According to the Apple Daily, Yen Lin-ying, who has run the shop in a market in Banqiao District for 32 years, started asking customers in late March whether they would pay for noodles to give away to others after her son told her about the suspended coffee movement he saw on Facebook.


 

The response was surprisingly positive, she said.


 

In two weeks, customers have paid for more than 40 suspended bowls of noodles at NT$75 each, and half of the bowls have already been served to needy people who are just learning about the help she's offering.


 

Yen keeps track of suspended noodles on offer on a whiteboard in her shop.

 


Among those she has given food to are a single mother and her child who shared a bowl of noodles and an unemployed man who ordered the noodles to go so he could give them to his elderly mother at home.



 

Since she began the practice, two other food shops and three stalls in the market have also offered to provide their own versions of suspended service.


"I never imagined that a mere bowl of noodles could have such an impact," the 60-year-old was quoted as saying. She hopes the suspended noodles could help promote the power to do good so that more people can benefit, she said.


 

As in Italy, where the tradition of caffe sospeso has enjoyed a kind of revival because of hard economic times, poverty and hunger have become more common in Taiwan. Earlier this year, the New Taipei government began a program under which school children of low-income families can get food for free in neighborhood convenience stores.


 

Yen's initiative won widespread praise after the Apple Daily first reported her story Friday.


 

Questions:


1.  What do you think about the "suspended meal" idea?


What are your opinions on helping the "less fortunate?


2.  Are you willing to help others?


What do you do to help others?


3. Have you ever donated money to a charity?


4.  Should people donate money and volunteer time to help others?


5. How to motivate people to help the people in need?


6.  Are you willing to sacrifice your life for a complete stranger?

Culture and influence (China Post)


 The popularity of "I Am a Singer" was demonstrated by the amount of time major Taiwanese TV stations gave to broadcasting the show. In fact, news stations that broadcast the finale of the show have found themselves in deep water for doing so.


 Cable news channels ETTV and CTi Television may each be fined due to their overnight broadcast of the TV show, the National Communications Commission (NCC) said. News channels are not supposed to devote so much of their programming to entertainment shows, and the coverage of the show also prevented the public from getting news reports, the NCC pointed out.


 

The two channels broadcast the last episode of "I Am a Singer" for as long as four hours, said the NCC, noting that it received complaints from viewers. Mainland China TV programs have to be sent to the Ministry of Culture for review before being broadcast, which did not happen in this case. This has led to concerns about China's growing cultural influence on Taiwan.


 

Of course, Taiwan has its own popular talent shows, but critics say local TV stations cannot afford to create a show like "I Am a Singer," which features stunning sound and lighting effects and movie-quality videos introducing singers' lives.


 

Noting that Hunan Satellite TV has invested heavily in making "I Am a Singer" such a huge success, Lung said Taiwan must consider how it can retain its creativity and competitiveness with the country's relatively small economy. Taiwan must work harder to keep its edge in the entertainment industry, she warned. "Will Taiwan retain its abundant talents in pop culture 30 years from now?" she asked. This is now a question that many people are asking.

 


Questions:


1.   What do you think about the talent show?

2.   Why Chinese talent show captivates Taiwanese viewers?

3.    In your opinion, who is the best singer in the talent show?

4.   Which songs or singers do you like the most?

5.   How does the growing Chinese influence on Taiwan's culture?

6.   "Will Taiwan retain its abundant talents in pop culture 30 years from now?"
