THE FALL OF NEW LEFT MOVEMENT New Left movement was an activist group of 1960’s that comprised of activists, educators, and agitators with a common goal of initiating reforms on the basis of the ancient Marxist movement with an eye the labor unionization and social structure issues. The movement was significantly organized by the Students of Democratic Society (SDS). The movement did not undergo many problems because it only protested non-violently against the civil disobedience. The organization comprised of mainly the college students who were protesting against Vietnam War and the freedom on Cal State Berkeley. Their protests were generally successful making the movement prominent although they led to its demise ultimately (Hall, 235).

As a result, the movement followed the way of mindless and single issueism activism. Its failure to have strategies and some clear class analysis of its activities started to…
SMART EMOTION BASED SYSTEM FOR MUSIC Abstract— This project presents a method to automatically detect emotional duality and mixed emotional experience using Linux based system. Co-ordinates, distance and movement of tracked points were used to create features from visual input that captured facial expressions, head, face gestures and face movement. Spectral features, prosodic features were extracted using the camera. Espeak and Pyttsx and Face API was used for calculation of features. A combined feature vector was created by feature level fusion and cascade classifier was used for emotion detection. Live participants and actions are to be used for recording simultaneous mixed emotional experience. As per calculated result system will play songs and display books list. Index Terms— Smart Emotion, Face Detection, Emotion Prediction, OpenCV. INTRODUCTION Emotion recognition has important applications in the field of medicine, education, marketing, security and surveillance. Machines can enhance the human- computer interaction by accurately identifying human emotions and responding to those emotions. Available research has mainly examined automatic recognition of a single emotion. But psychology as well as behavioural science studies have shown…

Technology in the Defence Department Military services are faced by insecurities and autonomous cars are the solution. The military service requires machines that do not require active personal involvement and the fact that autonomous cars do not require personal involvement are a real deal. [1]Autonomous cars are more affordable and attainable due to technological advancement in energy, navigation, and communication. The autonomous car gives an option to choose whether to assign a driver and the worries of commanders are significantly reduced by the fact that the only concern is offering protection to the leaders of the convoy. A convoy of autonomous cars is comprised of a fleet of self-driven vehicles led by a person-driven car. The idea of autonomous vehicles comes with a promise of increasing speed, accuracy and intelligence of logistic delivery. In the area of protection, autonomous cars reduce the number of soldiers and contract drivers put in harm’s way. The workforce spared ensures availability when urgently required. The autonomous cars will be potentially faster, carrying more payload and into more dangerous areas in support of army…

Is Neuroscience the Death of Free Will? By EDDY NAHMIAS Is free will an illusion? Some leading scientists think so. For instance, in 2002 the psychologist Daniel Wegner wrote, “It seems we are agents. It seems we cause what we do… It is sobering and ultimately accurate to call all this an illusion.” More recently, the neuroscientist Patrick Haggard declared, “We certainly don’t have free will. Not in the sense we think.” And in June, the neuroscientist Sam Harris claimed, “You seem to be an agent acting of your own free will. The problem, however, is that this point of view cannot be reconciled with what we know about the human brain.” Many neuroscientists are employing a flawed notion of free will. Such proclamations make the news; after all, if free will is dead, then moral and legal responsibility may be close behind. As the legal analyst Jeffrey Rosen wrote in The New York Times Magazine, “Since all behavior is caused by our brains, wouldn’t this mean all behavior could potentially be excused? … The death of free will, or…
