Goolge's Image Labeler

Google recently started a small interesting game. The game is Google Image Labeler.

How does the game work?

The game is like you can select a nickname or it will be guest. You are randomly paired with partner who is online playing the same game. You can play game for a period of 2 minutes time. During the time both the partners will see same image. We can suggest relevant labels. You will get point if your partner type the same label. We will fail if we type the label which Google already labeled. You are about to gain maximum points within 2 minutes. Number of points you receive will be depend upon the how descriptive your label is? If your pair type the same descriptive label(If your figure is Car. Pair will get more points if he/she type specific car name say for instance Honda Civic instead of Car as label) you will receive good points. Top pairs will be listed at top right corners of the application.

After the game you can see the images you labeled and site in which images resides and its labels.

What is the intention behind?

The original intention behind the game is to label all the images to show better image search results. If you logged using the your Google account, Google will track the points.

Dr.Sydney Brenner at Philips Healthcare,B'lore

Sydney Brenner

The Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine 2002

Today we had Dr.Sydney Brenner a Nobel prize winner in Physiology or Medicine visiting our Company(Philips Healthcare)..It was a great pleasure to meet a Noble Prize winner in my Lifetime :)

Brenner was born in a small town, Germiston (South Africa). His

parents were Jewish immigrants. His father came to South Africa from Lithuania in 1910, and his mother, from Riga, Latvia, in 1922.^[1] Educated at Germiston High School and the University of the Witwatersrand, he went on to complete a D.Phil. from Exeter College, Oxford.

Together with Jack Dunitz, Dorothy Hodgkin, Leslie Orgel, and

Beryl Oughton he was one of the first people in 1953 to see the model of the structure of DNA, constructed by Francis Crick and James Watson; at the time he and the other scientists were working at

Oxford University's Chemistry Department. All were impressed by

the new DNA model, especially Brenner who subsequently worked with Crick at Cambridge.

Brenner made several seminal contributions to the emerging fie

ld of molecular biology in the 1960s. These include the identification of messenger RNA, and in the elucidat

ion of the triplet nature of the code of protein translation through the Crick, Brenner et al. experiment of 1961, which discovered frameshift mutations. This insigh

t provided early elucidation of the nature of the genetic code. Brenner then focused on establishing Caenorhabditis elegans as a model organism for the investigation of animal development including neural development. Brenner chose this 1 millimeter-long soil roundworm mainly because it is simple, is easy to grow in bulk populations, and turned out be quite convenient for genetic analysis. The title of his Nobel lecture on

December 2002, "Nature's Gift to Science" is a homage to this modest nematode, and he considered that having chos

en the right organism turned out to be as important as having addressed the right problems to work on.^[2] For the latter work he shared the 2002 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine with H. Robert Horvitz and John Sulston. In recognition of his pioneering role in starting what is now a global research community that work on C. elegans, another closel

y related nematode was given the scientific name Caenorhabditis bren

neri.^[3]

Brenner founded the Molecular Sciences Institute and is currently associated with the Salk Institute, the Institute of Molecular and Cell Biology, the Okinawa Institute of Science and Technology, and the Janelia Farm Research Campus, Howard Hughes Medical Institute. He is also on the Board of Scientific Governors at The Scripps Research Institute. Known for his penetrating scientific insight and acerbic wit, Brenner for many years penned a regular column ("Loose Ends") in the journal Current Biology; he wrote "A Life In Sci

ence"

(ISBN 0-9540278-0-9) paperback published by Biomed Central Ltd. in 2001.

Brenner was awarded the National Science and Technology Medal by A*STAR, Sing

apore on 11 October 2006 for his distinguished and strategic contributio

ns to the development of Singapore’s scientific capability and culture, particu

larly in the biomedical sciences sector.Few Pics..

In the Jungle.. With Junglee's .. Galibore Fishing Camp - Day 2

Sorry!!! I couldnt complete this .. I Just got busy with my work .. :)

At around 6am we heard a person waking us up,to have Coffee.. Wasn't that cool.. But i didnt get get up as i have no habbit of drinking coffee or tea.. ha ha ha ha

Meanwhile i could hear some guys of our troop shouting , few of those guys planned for a Morning trek.. At around 7:30am myself and Minu got up... We got freshened,oh god we had to take bath in that cold water.. uuuhhhhh!!!

Breakfast was ready at 8:30am,idli sambar,Poori ssagu,Bread Omlete,Lime Juice,Tea or Coffee,pappaya,bannana.. oh,lots of things to eat.. :)

At around 10am we decided to go for Rafting.. This was arranged by Outback Adventours group...Wow,just couldnt imagine how enthu coud that be.. Had seen those just in movies or on Discovery ...

We filled up the indemnity bonds and put on the buoyancy jackets and helmets. There was a photo session. We had a briefing on the equipment and usage by one of the navigators.


Once we got into the water various commands and the responses were explained. We went in two rafts,8 of us in each and Vijeth and Rag's went on kayaking ..Vinod and Vinay was our lead rafts....It was fun all through. There was little bit of rafting, little bit of cheering, little bit of water splashing wars with the other rafts.. You will never feel tired! After 1km of rafting, they made us get into the water for swimming... I have no words to explain,how i enjoyed it... Superb... Me and Minu didnt know how to swim,and the guide thought us how to float on the water with the help of bouyancy jackets... After sometime,we somehow managed to float on water.. :) We had

After maneuvering through 3-4 small rapids, we came across a sharp turn.
Our guide gave us instructions on how to balance during higher grade rapids and we were all set for the last 3 rapids with last but one being the biggest among all the rapids on the strech.
Just before our last rapid,our guide asked us to get into the water.. Which was really deep.. He asked me to get down too.. Oh god,that was scary... After sometime,the guide pulled us back into the rafts... :) It was great fun... I'm Loving it!!! Tharth tha ra ra... :)

Last but one was really good. That might be a rapid close to grade 2? One more rapid and it was all over.:(
We had already reached Galibore and rafted for 8kms and for more than 2 hours!

We did some swirling of the raft like the one they do it on a coracle at the end.

We went back to our tents and took bath.. And again it was cold water.. :(

It was already 2 o clock,and lunch time.. I was really hungry!!! Had heavy lunch and did some chit chatting and slept for a while.. And it was time for us leave Galibore.. Bye bye!!!

We reached bangalore at around 7..

And my sweet hubby came to pick me up... :)

Nature at its Best !!
