UPDATE: Interior Images of the residence from New Moon HERE
Myself and two other architecture students went along to see the new vampire come romance movie twilight..
..We made the mistake of going opening day. Aussie kids are currently on their Christmas break and amoungst them, screaming teens, all hungry for the blood (like vampires.. get it?) of teen heart throb, ex- harry potter star, Robert Pattinson or ‘Edward Cullen’ as those who have seen the movie might know him.
Edward’s room.. see more on it here at Apartment therapy
It might come as a surprise to you, that myself and my friends, all in our twenties (and two of us male..) all swooned at one point..
But it probably wasn’t for the same reason as majority of the audience.
I’m talking about the Cullen’s House..
After seeing Manvi’s post for the house featured in twilight over at her blog Mochatini, I decided to do some of my own exploring..
Edward Cullen: “What did you expect? Coffins, and dungeons and moats?”
Bella: “Um..not the moats.”
Well I’m happy to say that there were no coffins, dungeons or moats.. but rather a splendid contemporary home, that’s certainly worth investigating…
The Hoke House is by architect Jeff Kovel via ‘Skylab Architecture’ it’s 4300 squares, built by Metcalf Construction, with Lucy Metcalf as the interior designer and landscaper.
The amazing symmetry and rough floor looks great, and the (perhaps over used) hanging lamp looks great in this living room.
The meals and dining area look warm and inviting, a strong use of timber again, simple tables and furniture used effectively.
Notice the floor to ceiling windows wrapping the kitchen that provide great natural lighting as well as splendid green, forest views.
The contemporary boxy home is well positioned on the site, the architects have taken advantage of the natural sloping landscape and have strategically placed the home so it looks out over the greenery.
It’s the use of timber that really does if for me, the striking middle floor of three level home creates a nice contrast with the industrial grey of the other stories, and again, relates back to it’s site, fitting in nicely with its green forest setting.
Modern, white and pristine bathrooms
Amazing bathroom window/skylight would allows its users to feel very free and open when stripped down and having a shower.
The contemporary feel is continued inside the home. The walls are a tradational modern clean cut white, though the clever use of timber is continued into the home as floorboards and on the stairs.
The house is open and bright and naturally well lit through the obvious use of large and multiple windows.
A bit of a side note, Twilight was a great movie and is definitely worth watching, (i’ve just started the first book also!)
But i’ll leave it up to you to decide which you prefer, the eye candy of Edward Cullen or his home.

I wanted to get guidance from someone with experience. Any help would
be greatly appreciated!

Given how painful transcribing audio is, people repeatedly ask us why there is still no software that can automatically take an audio and spit out its transcribed text with good accuracy. Now, it’s not entirely true that there is no such software – there are many, but they don’t help in transcribing real-world audio which typically involves handling multiple voices and all kinds of background noises.Everybody has got their own style of speakingTraining a machine to recognize human voice has proven to be very difficult due to the variations in how people speak a particular language. Despite being the most widely spoken language, English itself sounds considerably different in various parts of the world.Even if everyone spoke a language the exact same way, there is still the added difficulty of training the system for different voices – from young to old to male to female to hoarse to soft to – you get the drift. Even the same person tends to speak differently in different situations, for example, during a moment of excitement or a bout of cold. Let’s not also forget that some people speak faster, while others speak slower, with lots of ums, ers and uhs, which aren’t even part of any spoken language! Arriving at a speech model that can handle all these variations (like humans do) is really tricky.Ambiguity caused by homophones and word boundariesInterpreting speech requires a good understanding of the overall context. Humans are gifted with the ability to interpret fuzzy data and automatically deduce the missing parts based on the context. Machines are really bad at disambiguating the meaning of words and phrases as they lack the ability to comprehend the bigger picture.A homophone is a word that is pronounced the same way as another word but differing in meaning. For example, let’s take the following two phrases:the sail of a boatthe sale of a boatThe words “sail” and “sale” sound the same, and there is no way to distinguish between the two without first understanding the overall context. Such a “context” might not even be available till later on in the speech!Human speech tends to be continuous with no natural pauses between words. This poses a difficult challenge: where should a waveform be split to form meaningful words? Given a sequence of sounds, realigning the sounds to form different word boundaries can produce vastly different sentences:It’s not easy to wreck a nice beach.It’s not easy to recognize speech.It’s not easy to wreck an ice beach.Once again, an accurate transcription requires an understanding of what the speaker is trying to say in the context of the full speech.If the words are spoken slowly, with a clear pause after every word, machines stand a better chance. This is another reason why today’s technology is better at handling dictation and transcription of short sentences or commands than conversational audio.Time and resource intensiveSpeech recognition is an incredibly complex and resource intensive process. One requires a lot of tagged audio samples to train the system to recognize the plethora of variations in human speech. The fact that there are, at the very least, a quarter of a million distinct English words does not help. In addition, storing and processing such large amounts of high quality audio samples requires significant engineering resources.So, are we stuck?Based upon what I’ve read, and my experience, it takes a minimum of 4-5 hours to transcribe 1 hour of digitally recorded interviews. Now the real question is, what’s your time worth?Transcription process takes precision and accuracy, commitment and dedication, focus and patience..My suggestion is to use one of transcription services like http://www.GoTranscript.comThey are used by Harward, Stanford.. The fact that such top universities trust with their transcripts proves quality credentials.

I uninstalled your spammy software and I’m still getting popups. It is unacceptable for an anti-virus company to release a product which acts exactly like a virus – you can’t uninstall it and you can’t block popups.Installing Avast was the biggest software mistake I’ve made this year, and I’m running Windows 10.

Today, I went to the beach front with my children. I found
a sea shell and gave it to my 4 year old daughter and said “You where can i buy a cheap research
paper hear the ocean if you put this to your ear.” She placed the shell to her ear and screamed. There was a hermit crab inside and it pinched her ear. She never wants to go back! LoL I know this is totally off topic but I had to tell someone!

Cross out any irrelevant ones and earn your very best self to
set them into a logical order. If you say because repeatedly, the one thing the various readers
will probably be aware of is really because – it’s going to stifle your argument and it’s also at the top of this list of stuff you should avoid with your academic work.
