THIS, THAT, THESE, THOSE, and the miscellaneous
1. (on-line chat) We have a new friend in our group, Mark, and he likes to be nicknamed Mack. Ok, so THIS is how you should address Mark. Moving on to ...
(Can I use 'THAT is how', here?)
2. You can buy her 2 different perfumes or a subscription to use a site with audiobooks or films (recent pleasers, blockbusters) for free.
But THESE are only a few examples, and I'm pretty sure you know what your mums would like to get on their Day. (Mother's Day).
So you'll certainly come up with some imaginative ideas.
(Can I use THOSE in the above-mentioned fragment?)
3. Look at THESE photographs. THESE smiles look staged and the backgrounds are fake. There's too much Photoshop in them. They even edited the colours. In the pics put up on the next wall the photographers shot people in real scenes (shoppers, passers-by, tourists).
So THOSE were 2 types of photographs we we've had a chance to compare -posed and real ones. And THAT experience was both educative and entertaining.
(Can I use THIS instead of that in the passage above?)

Riscrivi un dialogo come se fosse una pagina di diario.
Caro diario,
Oggi è stata un bel giorno. Vorrei dirti delle mie materie che intraprenderò. Quest’anno, sto studiando 6 materie. Sono l’italiano, la matematica, la psicologia, l’educazione fisica, il francese e l’inglese.
Dalle 6 materie, preferisco l’italiano e l’inglese il più. Mi piace l’italiano perché è la lingua di mia nonna, e vorrei conoscere la cultura di Italia. Anche spero che un giorno, posso visitare Italia, quindi visto la mia famiglia, in cui è i miei cugini e i miei zii.
Mi piace l’inglese perché amo leggere e scrivere. Penso che è una materia facile, quindi non c’è molto sforzo.
E soprattutto, odio la fisica educazione. Penso che sono un po’ pigra e non sono proprio sportiva, quindi la fisica educazione non è la mia materia preferita. Comunque, gli insegnanti non sono simpatici, e invece loro sono antipatici.
La psicologia è una materia che penso è molto interessante ma anche complicata. Studiamo il comportamento degli esseri umani, lo sviluppo intellettuale dei bambini o degli adolescenti e… un sacco di cose interessante. È propria una materia che è molto interessante e non mi secca mai.
Comunque… penso che dovrei andare a letto adesso. Buonanotte, diario!

Navels
When I was a kid, I was said "If you touch your navel frequently, you'll get cold or something bad will happen." Also, there is a myth in Japan that if you expose your navel when it is thundering, your navel is taken away by the thunder god. Probably, this myth was made to prevent children get cold because the temperature goes down when the weather is bad. However, I thought it is better for me that my navel disappears because it has no function and brings bad luck in some cases.

Journal
The croaking of frogs in the first video evoked my distant memories, and it reminded me of the scene in the summer nights in the countryside when I was a child. Summer night breeze, croaking of frogs in a pond, and the villagers in trees shadows to take cool after a whole day's hard work. What a nice idyllic scene.
The second video reminded me of Anshun in Guizhou province , where the famous Huangguoshu Waterfall is located. The waterfall in the video is almost the same as those in Anshun. It makes you feel refreshed after watching it. Meanwhile, Anshun is also a famous summer resort, where the temperature in summer doesn't exceed 30 degrees Celsius because it is a plateau, so the temperature is low.

Fachgeschaeschaften
Frueher kaufte ich gern in Fachgeschaeften ein, aber heutezutage kaum, weil die Waren Online oft viel wieniger als die in Fachgeschaeften. Das ist wahrscheilich ein der Gruende fuer das Sterben von Fachgeschaeften. Die Entwicklungen des Online Handels foerdern /verursachen das Sterben.
Die Menschen moechten Waren, die guestiger sind, einkaufen. Ausserdem koennen die Kunden beim Online-Einkaufen zu Hause bequem und muehelos die wuenschenden Waren kaufen. Es ist sehr anstrengend, dass viele Laden eintretten muessen.
Aber man muss zugeben, dass die Qualitet der Waren, die Online verkauft werden, nicht garantiert werden wuerdem . Durch nur einigen Bilder bewertet man die Qualitaet schwierig. Im gegensatz dazu kann man in Fachgeschaeftendie Produkte selbst ausprobieren. Ob sie fuer mich geeignet sind? Ob sie hohe Qualitativ sind? Dabei haben die Einkaufe noch weitere Vorteile. Waehrend die Kunden ein paar Tage fuer die Zeit des Lieferns (ob Paket Beitraeger besser?) warten, koennen die Leute, die zu Fachgeschaeften fahren, ihre Guete normaleweise sofort mitbringen.
Insgesamt ueberwiegen fuer mich aber Nachteile.

고향은 과거와 달라진점
나는 부모님의 이야기를 들을때 멕시코시티는 얼마나 변한 것을 깨닫았다. 요즘은 여기서 모둔 것을 살 수 있는데 30년 전만 해도 어떤 가전제품을 멕시코에서는 찾을 수 없었다. 그리고 물건이 멕시코에서는 미국보다 더 비쌌다. 그것을 때문에 많은 멕시코 사람들이 제품을 사러 미국으로 갔다왔다. 그 사람들은 미국 백화점에서 물건을 싸게 샀고 멕시코에서 비싸게 팔아서 돈을 많이 벌었다. 이행동이 불법인 반면에 좋은 사업이었다. 그래서 많은 사람들은 이러한 것을 했지만 쉽지 않았다. 우선 멕시코시티에서 가장 가까운 미국 도시까지 적어도 15시간이나 걸렸다. 게다가 당연히 경찰에게 그 사람들이 잡히면 감옥에 갈 수도 있었다.

Senhor Flamel
Nicolau Flamel foi um escritor e herói popular francês. Não foi um grande alquimista durante sua vida, porém tornou-se um alquimista lendário depois de seu falecimento. Mais de duzentos anos depois da sua vida, Flamel foi creditado como descobridor da pedra filosofal. Se dizia que ele tornou-se imortal.

He comprado patinetes
¡Por fin he comprado patinetes! Creo que este último año muchos amigos me han hablado sobre los patinetes o me han pedido que comprara algunos y ahora está hecho. Estaba un poco triste esta tarde y mi hermana y yo intentamos proponer actividades divertidas que se pueden hacer afuera. Había traído sus patinetes consigo (está de visita) y me sugería que podamos conseguir algunos para mi y patinar juntos. Lo hicimos, pero me sorprendía que patinar fue mucho más difícil que recordaba. Parte de eso fue que las suelas eran muy anchos y mis pies deslizaban por dentro. Mi hermana me dijo que suele llevar dos pares de calcetines para evitar este problema. Tendré que practicar más antes de invitar a algún amigo a hacerlo juntos.
*** Todavía tengo dificultades con el subjuntivo. Además, ¿no sé si "consigo" es una palabra? La aprendí en el colegio pero en España mi madre anfitriona me dijo que no era una palabra.

AHMED'S NEW CAR
AHMED'S CAR
Ahmed decided to buy a new car. He used to have one, but it was very old. He phoned his best friend Omar and told him, 'I would like to buy a new car and I want you to come with me tomorrow.' Omar was excited to go with him so he said, "Of course why not." The next day they went together to the nearest car dealer. Ahmed asked the dealer, "I would like to buy a new car, and I want it to be affordable." The dealer told him that, "Toyota Yaris is the best choice for you because it is affordable and doesn't burn a lot of fuel." Ahmed asked Omar about his opinion, and Ahmed said, "If I were you, I would buy it. It is so beautiful and it is not too expensive." So Ahmed decided to buy it.

YouTuber, Unfair?
Last night I was talking to a friend.
He said he wants to start a YouTube channel and become a YouTuber.
But after a depth study about the business structure.
Such as commission rate, penalty system…
He’s answer is “you and no”.
Yes, he will start his YouTuber channel.
No, he will not use YouTube as a main income.
So, it just become a hobby.
That is really good example.
When you think post some videos will make a lot money!
You are so wrong.
He feels unfair because some videos are “zero content” but still can get high viewers.
Such as baby animals, woman or girls doing nothing…type of videos.

Tanti auguri a tutte le mamme del mondo!!! =)
Ho elevato molti bambini, ma non sono diventata madre.
Ho la mia madre brasilaina e un'altra "virtuale" italiana.
Sono fortunata di avere quella italiana, dato che non posso dire lo stesso della prima... =(
Anche se oggi è la festa delle madri in Brasile e in Italia non capisco perché hanno creato questo giorno, dato che dal momento in cui qualcuna diventa madre non puo' più licenziarsi dal posto (di lavoro arduo che ha scelto di svolgere!!)
Non scriverò qui, quello che penso di qualche donna che diventano madre solo perché pensano che devono "compiere il loro ruolo naturale". In Brasile viviamo un altro assurdo con rispetto alle donne che si mettono incinte perché c'è una legge che dice che il padre del bambino deve per forza pagare una somma di denaro ogni mese alla madre, in caso di separazione della coppia.
Conosco alcune donne che hanno 8, 9 figli e non lavorano. Hanno un figlio di ogni uomo con cui vadano a letto. Vivono di questi soldi e per loro è lo stesso se il bambino ha bisogno delle cose basiche per soppravvivere. Sicuramente non possiamo chiamarle "mamme".
A tutte le altre, auguro il meglio nel giorno di oggi! =)
PS: Non acquistare prodotti di cui non avranno bisogno solo per fare le belle agli altre... =)

朗読
皆さん、外国語で本や記事などを読む時には朗読しますか？その外国語を話すのにはとてもためになるとよく言われています。
最近、私は本を読む時に朗読します。周りに他の人がいれば、呟くように読みます。それも朗読になるんでしょうか？日本語で書いてある本はあまり朗読しなかったので、頭で読めても実際に声を出して読んだら自分が思ったよりペラペラ読めないことに気付き、これから何かを読んだら朗読しようにしました。小説は最近読んでいないですが、できれば毎日最低限漫画の一話を読むようにしています。二週間が経っているのですが、声を出して読むのはよりぺらぺらできるようになっている気がします。漫画を読んでいるので、日常会話にもためになると思います。漫画のキャラクタによると、そのキャラクタの使ている表現が変わるので、一つの伝えることはたくさんな言い方で学べます。それを朗読すると、自分もいつか自然に使えると感じています（少年漫画にある表現以外ですね）。
私はアメリカに帰ってから日本語会話を練習する機会が少なくなったので、自分の日本語能力が落ちないように毎日朗読してみました。一つのとてもいい練習し方だと思います。外国語を勉強している皆さん、本や漫画や記事などを読む時に是非朗読してみてください。

Bachelor's Thesis - Conclusion
The following text is a bit longer and technical. Don't worry if you're not familiar with the concepts.
This work aimed to create a system for gesture recognition using skeletal information. The first part of the thesis presented state-of-the-art object detection and hand pose estimation methods along with a short review of gesture recognition. Available datasets for these tasks were listed as well. This work then proposed a system for gesture recognition from skeletal features represented by 21 key points. The developed system consists of three fundamental stages: detection, pose estimation, and gesture recognition. Each of these stages was evaluated separately on public datasets. A dataset consisting of four thousand images was captured to evaluate the proposed system, which was also evaluated in real-time.
The Tiny YOLOv3 was selected for object detection for its speed and robustness. It was trained on the HandSeg dataset with great success, achieving an IoU score of 86.35~\%. A series of preprocessing steps were developed for background removal and proper normalization. The preprocessed image is the input of the hand pose estimator, JGR-P2O, which infers the precise position of the hand's skeleton. The evaluation demonstrated that the estimator's performance is highly dependent on the dataset. The low variety of poses in the dataset causes the model to generalize poorly to unseen poses in a natural environment. Several experiments were conducted, some of which improved the estimator's performance. On the MSRA dataset, the model reaches a mean joint error of 14.7 mm, while on the Bighand, a more complex dataset, achieves roughly 24.9 mm. Testing revealed that the estimator works better for the right hand than the left, which is due to the composition of the training dataset.
The proposed skeleton-based gesture recognition system allows the user to specify the target gesture and determine the hand's maximum rotation relative to that target gesture. On the other hand, the disadvantage of this solution is the need for accurate determination of the skeleton, which proves to be a challenging task.

Ilska
I dag slogs jag med min partner.
Jag har kört bilar i 12 år och han har inget körkort och har inte ens börjat med körlektionerna. Men han försöker fortfarande förklara mig när behöver jag indikera att jag kommer att svänga. Han frågar mig också ofta om jag har satt på bromsen. Jag hatar när han gör det och har berättat för honom att jag inte behöver hans kommentarer, men han håller med att säga det. Alla säger att jag kör bra och jag vet precis när jag behöver använda blinkers.
Han ville inte stoppa säga att det var jag som var fel, och att jag behövde indikera förr, men jag behövde inte göra det, för att det var inga bilar bakom mig och bilen som kom mot mig skulle svänga långt före mig. Jag skulle indikera efter den bilen.
Jag kände mig så jävla irriterad och sa ”DRA ÅT HELVETE” till honom.
Jag känner mig inte ofta arg och försöker att vara lugn men det här var ett undantag. Det hände några timmar sen men jag är fortfarande ganska arg med honom.
