Compensation for African Americans, Reparation after Emancipation and Converting them to Christianity

           The Emancipation Proclamation was issued by President Abraham Lincoln on 1st January 1863. During this year the Nation approached third Civil War. It was declared in the proclamation that “all the persons that are under slavery should be set free”. Despite of being ordered explicitly the Emancipation Proclamation was still limited. The Emancipation Proclamation was applied in only those states that only had seceded from U.S. This left the concept of slavery untouched in those states having royal border. The concept exempted certain parts of the Confederacy (Southern Secessionist States) that already came under the control of North. An important fact to discuss about the Proclamation is that complete freedom is only promised under the military victory of Union (United States). The Special Field Orders No. 15 of Forty Acres and a Mule was to allot plots to those men who once worked as a slave in those lands under the Proclamation. Some of the slave families succeeded in acquiring their proclaimed lands while the rest of the orders were annulled by the successor of Abraham Lincoln. Andrew Johnson was the successor of Abraham Lincoln and he reversed and annulled the Proclamation Orders. The Slaves should be paid the slavery reparation after the proclamation in orders to support their financial sufferings that they had long suffered under the influence of slavery (Wills). The persons which participated in the slavery are to be paid the restitution payment in order to support their families that suffered under the era of slavery. The story of a black slave Mathew has a lot to tell about the religious differences based on race and oppression. Mathew was rejected thrice and was not allowed to enter Christianity because he was a black. He was only considered to be an evolution of the Protestantism as a live practice. Seeing, the story of Mathew it can be concluded that a lot of White People still don’t think a black to be pure in beliefs even if he converts or not due to differences between race, power and oppression. The difference between race and power can be minimized by converting slaves to Christianity but due to social norms of White Christians and Race In-Equality the practice is seen seldom (Burnard).

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. Problem Statement: ...

Optimization of Electrical Distribution System Reliability: A Case Study on Mazoon Electricity Company

    1.0 Introduction 1.1 Background Knowledge According to Oman's Commercial Companies Law, Mazoon Electricity is a closed joint stock electricity provider that is registered. The company's main responsibility is to carry out the controlled supply and distribution of power in the territories of Shargiya, South Al Batinah, and Dakiliya. Since 2014, the number of Mazoon Company customers has expanded yearly at a pace of 10–15%, and the number of regulated units produced and distributed to consumers in the regions has increased to roughly 6,708GWh (Wallnerström et al. 2012). Mazoon Company has experienced average decline of 10 % in the distribution chain in recent years. The major losses are seen in summer session due to increase on demand side. The electrical distribution network is experiencing major variations due to different kind of dependability events (Hashemi-Dezaki et al., 2015).

Datafication Literature Review

  Literature Review Information/Data are not pure or common articles with their very own pith. 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, ...
