The Competition between China and America is in a serious phase where both Nations are competing to take global hold of trade and resources. China and America are in state of cold war with each other, both Nations are struggling their best in order to compete head on head globally. The lack of resources and the need and want to capture more and more power is the driving factor behind this cold war.

The business strategies in order to capture more market globally and to make a wider market on the globe for open trade is the topmost priority of both Nations. China on one hand is making its lobby stronger by making friendly treaties with the neighboring countries but America is self-confident to capture the hold of power by masculine means. The New York Times had shown the image where China is drawn on second position and America holds first position which clearly depicted a biased view of New York Times towards the American Government. American Government has adopted efficient strategies in order to compete China and is spreading the challenge through aggressive policies. The Cartoon showed that both Nations are competing and are trying to collect maximum resources in order to gain more power and hold on the World.

America is predicting a competition with China on Global Ground. The fight to be the best and the urge to pursue this desire is what making both the Nations to think cleverly and make efficient policies in order to maximize trade and gather resources to be the best. America, as clearly shown in the picture by Heng is on the top but it remains in continuous stress due to China. The Competition on Global Economic Grounds is depicted in this Cartoon. This Cartoon of Heng has raised many political and economic concerns.

Automatic Micro Expression Recognition and Analysis

 Automatic Micro Expression Recognition and Analysis Introduction: With the advancement in technology and the machine learning methods various automatic processes are possible to predict human behavior and his emotions. Micro Expression Recognition as addressed in this research is also a machine dependent process which can reveal the hidden information and the intentions behind a micro-expression. These micro expressions of human beings which are otherwise very deceitful and hard to predict can be automatically monitored and the meaning behind them can be predicted with machine learning techniques. This technological advancement allows to uncover various hidden intentions and the affiliated emotions with micro expressions as to predict better about human beings. The research will focus on the machine learning methods and use of Spontaneous Micro Expression Database (SMIC) for the prediction of hidden emotions and revealing the truth behind the micro expressions.

They exist in a unique circumstance, taking on importance from that specific situation and the point of view of the viewer. How much those unique circumstances and implications can be addressed impacts the adaptability of information, as outlined in the subsequent incitement. This part investigates endeavors to characterize data in hypothetical and operational terms, closing with a functioning definition. Data are regularly characterized as a visual cue, like realities, numbers, letters, and images (National Research Council 1999). Arrangements of models are not definitions since they don't build up clear limits between what is constantly excluded from an idea. The definition offered by (Peter Fox and Ray Harris, 2013) is common: "'Data' incorporates, at the very least, advanced perception, logical checking, information from sensors, metadata, model out-put and situations, ...
