From Editor's Desk Dear Researcher, Greetings! Editorial team wishes Happy New Year for everyone. The month of witnessed some of important events around the world. NASA spacecraft reaches ultima Thule which is 4 billion miles away from earth. which is a win-win for NASA and the humans. Water found on an asteroid by OSIRIS-REx explorer. NASA's first asteroid sample return mission, OSIRIS-REx, reached the asteroid Bennu only a week ago, but it's already learning more about this time capsule from the early solar system. A Chinese spacecraft Chang’e 4 spacecraft has gone to the dark side of the moon which is the only spacecraft that has gone to the dark side of the moon and it was launched by China National Space Administration (CNSA). A Research article in this issue discusses about Audio Frequency Induction Loop System, Processing Techniques for Static Human Facial Emotion Recognition Thanks, Editorial Team IJITCE http://www.google.com/#q=%222045-8711%22 http://www.bing.com/search?q=%222045-8711%22 http://fr.search.yahoo.com/search;_ylc=X3oDMTFiN25laTRvBF9TAzIwMjM1MzgwNzUEaXRjAzEEc2VjA3NyY2hfc WEEc2xrA3NyY2h3ZWI-?p=%222045-8711%22

Statue of Unity World tallest statues By Dr.T.Narayanasamy.,ME.,MSc.,MBA.,Ph.D.,
Government of India , headed by Sri Narandra Modi , Prime Minister of India, unveiled the "Statue of Unity" On the day of October 31st, 2018, which has been labeled the tallest statue in the world with a mesmerizing total height of 240M out of which base 58M (190ft) and Statue 182 meters (597 ft) in respect of honor to the greatest statesman ,Freedom fighter , Social revolutioner and states unifier, a tribute and great respect to Sardar Vallabh Bhai Patel (1875 - 1950) , one of the most prominent leaders of the Indian Independence movement and responsible for the unification of 562 princely states to form the morden political boundary of India. who was considered to be one of the greatest pillars in the era of Indian politics. The nation pays tribute to greatest hero and in respect of honor to him an iconic statue was revealed on the 143rd birth anniversary of Sardar Patel and the sculpture located at Vadodra city and stands tall as an iconic monument in the state of Gujarat state. Apparently, the statue is built and installed in such a way that it faces the Sardar Sarovar dam on the Narmada river.
for the public on the 31st day of the October '2018. The statue was designed by Sri.Ram V Sutar who is a renowned Indian Sculptor and also has been awarded a Padma Bhusan and the entire sculpture project turnkey task was given to Larsen and Toubro group , a pioneer (EPC) engineering ,procurement construction company which has taken within the time span by applying innovative construction "State of the Art technology" . The site development was wonderfully designed with various contours and unbelievable artificial lake was built integrating with flower garden and greeneries which has been created around the "Statue of Unity" with beautiful multi colors of yard & water lightings and hydro sprinklers with modern technology attracting the tourist all over the world.
The construction period has taken almost 4 years to complete the Statue of Unity by the Indian leading engineering and construction company (L&T) Larsen and Toubro group and the construction progress was monitored from the first day of its construction activities by the Prime minister personally and the Indian Prime Minister, Mr. Narendra Modi was inaugurated the sculpture and it was finally, put on display

Amidst, lot of twists and turns and innumerable technical and practical issues which were troubling in the making of the Statue of Unity. A lot of public contribution was made by the Gujarat people for the completion of this project. Here’s the whole story about how the idea came into existence that led to the raising of the tallest statue in the world.
High Lights of Statute of Unity :Total Height of the 240Mtrs (182M statue Statue +58M Base) Cost of Statue Rs 2,989 Cr Entry ticket & Rs.120 Adults and timing Rs.60 Kids. Timing 9.00am to 6 .00pm Sardar Born 31 October 1875 City of Nadiad Bombay Sardar Died 15th December 1950 ( Heart Attack) Spouse Smt. Jhaverbaben Patel Office Dy Prime Minister 1945 to 1950 Political Party Indian National Congress Profession Barrister, Politician, Activist, Freedom Fighter Awards Bharat Ratna (1991) The creation of sculpture sparking in the minds of Sri. Narendra modi during his Chief ministership tenure and declared to the press conference on October 7th ' 2010 that he would dedicate and build a worlds tallest statute for honoring a greatest social revolutionist and statesman Sri. Sardar Vallabhai Patel on 10th year anniversary celebration of Chief Minister.
The plan was titled as “Gujarat’s tribute to the nation“. Gujarat government also founded a special trust known as Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel Rashtriya Ekta Trust (SVPRET) that was responsible for the completion of the statue. Later, the state government initiated a movement for the Statue of Unity, asking the farmers to donate their old and used-up farming tools, in order to compensate for the iron needed to build the sculpture. The movement was a huge success. Soon enough, more than 5000 tons of iron was raised as a contribution to the project. Nonetheless, the collected iron was used in making the other segments of the project rather than being used in the statue itself. Not only that, Suraaj petition was started to support the project. It was signed by a whopping number of 20 million people which made it the world’s largest petition till today. Eventually, the construction officially started on 31 October 2013. A great scholars, scientist and all intellectuals having been blown of mind-storming and bending research and studies, the esteemed historians , artist and academics were convinced by the design presented by Ram Sutar. Basically, it is the magnified version of the statue of Sardar Vallabh Bhai Patel which is

already placed at the Ahmedabad International Airport. As mentioned above, Sardar Patel was responsible for unification of princely states and played a major role in the consolidation of 554 princely states of India. The unification forms what is known as the modern political boundary of the country today. Sardahar Patel contributed and dedicated unbelievable, tremendous efforts and hard works and services to the success of the Indian independence movement and later emerged as one of the founding fathers of the Republic of India. Evidently, Sardar Patel earned an image of a noble, kind, and ironwilled leader. It was made sure that his sculpture did justice to the leader’s personality by reflecting all these qualities and emotions present in him. The Statue of unity total height measured from the base 240M (790ft) inwhich the height of the base alone measured the dimension of 58M (190ft) and the actual height of the statue alone measured the right dimension of 182M (597 ft) which stans as the tallest statue of the world which is greater than Statue of Liberty and Budha statue of china. The government has floated a tender and received various competitive bidders quotes and after thourough scrutiny and qualification norms financial bidding was opened Finally this sculpture project was awarded to a biggest multi-national firms in India and this construction company which is known as L&T Larson and Toubro group and it is considered to be a paramount company in the filed of
construction works which is doing a turnover of 25000 Crores in India and abroad. After having several techno commercial discussions with L&T group , finally ,the government of Gujarat had decided and construction contract agreement for the value of Rs.2,989 crores (US $ 420) was signed with L&T along with separate maintenance contract was signed for the value Rs.13.47 Billion for which L&T is responsible for design and construction and performance of the statue of unity till the contract period is completed. In addition to the above contracts, maintenance of the exhibition hall and convention center for the contract value of RS ₹2.35 billion. While the ₹830 million were allocated for the bridge for connecting the memorial to the mainland. As for the maintenance, ₹6.57 billion were assigned for the preservation of the structure for 15 years post-completion. As the sculpture was developed on a publicprivate partnership model, the state government of Gujarat had arranged for most of the finances. A total of ₹6 billion (US$84 million) was granted for the Statue of Unity project in the 2012-2015 budget. The union budget of the year 2014-15 assigned an amount of ₹2 billion (US$28 million) for the construction of the sculpture. Under the scheme of Corporate Social Responsibility, the PSUs ( Public sector units) also contributed to make-up for the rest of the funds. The major PSUs are from the oil and natural gas sector with big names such as Oil and Natural Gas Corporation Limited (ONGL), Indian Oil Corporation Limited (IOL), Bharat Petroleum Corporation Limited (BHPL), Hindustan Petroleum Corporation Limited HPCL) , and Oil India Limited (IOL). 590

Needless to mention that a non-monetary contribution was made by the Indian farmers in the form of the 5000 tonnes of iron which was supposed to be consumed in the making of the Statue of Unity. Project Management Consultancy ( PMC) services where given to the three leading consulting firms namely a) Turner Construction, b) Michael Graves and Associates, and c) Meinhardt Group to monitor the respective progress of the works and resolving the site issues , drawing approvals with regard to the design , technology and practical and implementation including clearing of right of way, so as the complete the project within the stipulated period of time. While the total estimated fund needed was somewhere around â‚š20.63 billion (US$290 million), the planning and execution of the project took its own time. The statue of Unity was planned and designed in 15 months. Building up the whole sculpture consumed another 40 months. In the end, the consortium handed over the finished product to the government in the next two months. The first stone of the statue was laid by the then Chief Minister of Gujarat, Narendra Modi. It was done on 31 October 2013 which was the 138th birth anniversary of Sardar Patel. Larsen and Toubro grabbed the deal and started the construction a year later on the same day, i.e. 31st October 2014. More than 3000 employees and 250 engineers were involved in the entire project. The raw materials used in the core of the statue
expended around 210,000 cubic meters (7,400,000 cu ft) of cement concrete, 6500 tonnes of structural steel, and 18500 tonnes of reinforced steel. The bronze cladding cast was made in China. It used up at least 1700 tonnes of bronze plates and 1850 tonnes of bronze cladding which was constituted of 565 macro and 6000 micro panels. It has a lot of special facts and features and the Statue of Unity has its inbuilt special and unique features in many ways. Apart from being the tallest statue in the world, following facts and features that make it so unique, are listed below. First and foremost , the Statue of Unity is the tallest statue in the world with a height of 182 meters (597 ft). Statue of Unity stands first rank and it overcomes and breaks the world record of the other internationally leading monuments including the Spring Temple Buddha, the Statue of Liberty, The Motherland Calls, The Christ The Redeemer, and the Statue of David. In the beginning , India was having a tallest monument of statue of "Hanuman" with a height of 41M (135 ft) which is located at at the Paritala Anjaneya Temple near Vijayawada, in Andhra Pradesh and this record was broken by installing the statue of Unity which is 4.5 times taller than the monument statue of "Hanuman" Statue of Unity ,which is built on an island called Sadhu Bet. A beautiful hall road was built with flowers and greeneries on either side for a length f 3.2 KM away from the Narmada Dam downstream. The total extent of area covered by the statue itself and its remaining parts is more than 2 hectares (4.9 acres). 591

A wonderful site development with different wonderful contours beautiful land scalping and planting flowers and greeneries with attractive lawns and an artificial lake has been created around the statue. The lake is around 12 km long. It was conceived by the low Garudeshwar dam downstream on the Narmada river. Unit of statue has divided with 5 total zones in which the public and tourist were allowed to move around the statue only to the 3 zones and rest are monitored by the trust . Zone 1 begins from the base and extends to the shins of Patel. It is again separated into three sub-zones. This segment includes an exhibition area, mezzanine, roof, a memorial garden, and a museum.The visitors can explore the life and contributions of Sardar Patel while wandering through the museum. A 15-minute presentation is made to display the cultures and customs of the tribal communities of Gujarat. Zone 2 stretches up to Patel’s thighs whereas the Zone 3 reaches up to the viewing gallery. Zone 4 is the maintenance area and Zone 5 covers the head and shoulders. We are very well proved that Indian Engineers, architects and technicians are very competitive enough and far better than the world engineering talents with adoption of the "state of art technology" by the establishment of installing and erecting the iconic monument statue of Unity and we account the following merits to validate it. Our engineers designed the unique iconic statue of unity to withstand the wind velocity
speed of 130 KMH kilometrs/hr ( 81 mph ) and can withstand the earth quakes measuring upto 6.5 on the Richter scale. This has been made possible by putting two 250-tonne tuned mass dampers to use and providing the statue with a maximum stability.

The lift takes the visitors to the viewing gallery in less than a minute. The statue is supposed to stay as it is for around 1000 years. That means it would be first such tourist attraction in India which would keep growing the national income for at least 10 centuries. It is certainly the ‘Pride of Nation’. An iconinc monument Statue of unity will catch the eight place of wonders of the world for its meritorious design and technology. The Statue of Unity has indeed been successful in attracting and stealing the hearts of all humans globally. The sculpture is a symbol of the growing economic strength of India. On the other hand, it also showcases the crafting skills of Indian engineers. In the coming days, the statue would eventually turn into the biggest center of attraction and flourish the tourism business in the country. The whole designing, constructing, and maintenance requirements have also created enormous job opportunities for a large number of people. Thus, on a larger level, the Statue of Unity has certainly emerged as the ‘Pride of the Nation’ for more than one reasons

DevOps Dojo: Kubernetes - The First in Chicago Hosted by Renan D. and Sanjar D. Slalom Consulting, 180 N Stetson Ave Ste 5300, Chicago thrilled a new series of events in Chicago started on Thursday, December 6, 2018 called DevOps Dojo! The idea is to provide training to IT professionals and students that want to expand their knowledge in DevOps technologies, such as Docker, Terraform, Ansible, Spinnaker, Consul etc. If you're searching for a place to practice your skills, come and join us! What is DevOps Dojo? DevOps Dojo is an event that allows you to increase your DevOps skills by practising, rather than listening. You will be given a challenge and a set of infrastructure resources, and you will have to work in teams to solve the challenge with the support of the organizers. This is not a Hackathon and there will be no winners or prizes. DevOps Dojo is purely focused on building up skills and networking. By the end of each event, you should be very familiar with the topics covered in the challenge. Each edition will explore one or more technologies. For example, Cloud infrastructure management and automation, scripting, continuous integration and deployment, Serverless architectures, system administration etc. What is the first Dojo about? What will I learn? In the first Dojo, we will focus on deploying an application to Kubernetes. You will be given an application composed of several microservices and you will have to develop all the definition files needed to deploy this app to Kubernetes, making it accessible through the Internet and complying with a few technical requirements.
The challenge will cover several topics of the new Certified Kubernetes Application Developer (CKAD) exam that has just been announced at KubeCon Europe 2018. This will be a fantastic exercise! Trust us!

Digital Transformation By Premanand Narasimhan FIET, MBCS(UK), MIEEE, Fellow IOD(Ind) , MIITP(NZ) Digital transformation is the integration of digital technology into all areas of a business, fundamentally changing how you operate and deliver value to customers. It's also a cultural change that requires organizations to continually challenge the status quo, experiment, and learn comfortable with failure. Businesses don't transform by choice because it is expensive and risky. Businesses go through transformation when it is required. The question when does it happen arises here. When any business that is functioning successfully suddenly finds a dip, it is forced to evolve. Evolution is triggered by change that happens sometimes naturally as in the case of adoption to new technologies or planned and executed by futuristic thinking and strategic propositions.
demands, there are a few constants and common themes among existing case studies and published frameworks that all business and technology leaders should consider as they embark on digital transformation. Digital transformation elements are : ● Customer experience ● Operational agility ● Culture and leadership ● Workforce enablement ● Digital technology integration Although IT will play an important role in driving digital transformation strategy, the work of implementing and adapting to the massive changes that go along with digital transformation falls to stake holder.For this reason, digital transformation is a people issue.
A business may take on digital transformation for several reasons. But by far, the most likely reason is that they have to: It's a survival of the fittest. Technology drives every business today. Companies that want to succeed must understand how to merge technology with strategy.

The most practical application of AFILS-OM is its use at street crossings or intersections. Street crossing in general is very complex even at intersections with traffic signals. Right-turnon-red, multiple lanes streets, quieter cars, and other features make it a challenge for every pedestrian and especially for elderly people; children; and people with cognitive, mobility, and/or hearing disabilities in addition to visual impairment.

The T-Cane concept shown in Fig. 4 represents a normal white Cane with an embedded telecoil. The telecoil is designed so that its axis remains parallel to the surface of the street all the time and consequently to the loop wire. The output of the telecoil is monitored and used to generate vibrations in the cane to alert the T-Cane user that the cane is over a loop wire. Additionally, when used with the G-Loop, the T-Cane is able to provide the user with information on the location of the virtual lane

The G-Loop can be installed at any street crossing and intersection with or without traffic light provided there is power available to help visually impaired pedestrian cross along the crossing path. It can be installed along trails or sidewalks, in public area such as shopping malls or airport to help guide users with visual impairment.

The ideal case is to analyse the response of the loop to input signal at the frequencies recommended by the International Electrotechnichal Commission (IEC) for the certification of a Hearing Loop, however we feel that the investigation of the response of the loop Fig. 9.

to a test input signal of sine wave will suffice. In general, there is a reasonable correlation between the response of a system to a standard test input and the system's ability to perform under normal operating conditions (Lennart, 1999) [17]. From design point of view, using a standard input of 1kHz sine wave will help compare several competing designs. Therefore we will use a sine wave i I sin(2 Ft ) as input current into the loop of both the ANSYS model and the experimental loop of Fig. 12.

been
proposed in this paper. Computer simulation and experimental analysis have been used to assess the implementation of AFILS-OM in outdoor setting and with the presence of concrete reinforcing steel bars and traffic and light posts. The AFILS-OM system consist of CLoops, G-Loops, and a T-Canes that can be installed and used at street crossings or intersections, in public venues such as malls and city halls, and on park trails. At an intersection application, the AFILS-OM system can provide real time traffic and tricolor traffic lights status in form of speech or audio signal. The system can also provide a countdown of the time left to start or to finish a crossing. More importantly, all this helpful information can be clearly transmitted to the pedestrian into an earbud as opposed to current open air loudspeaker broadcasting system used at intersections. Additionally, the system will help the pedestrian stay within the designated crossing path using the virtual walls created by the G-Loop. AFILSOM is a simple and cost effective approach to allow individuals with visually impairment enjoy park trails and safely use street sidewalks. The presented analysis and implementation can be used as a starting point for the real world implementation

technique (DCT), the histogram equalization technique Fig.17 DCT output (Anger)
(HE). It will usually improve the image, and consequently the facial expression detection performance, compared with a non-preprocessed image. A additional advanced technique, like HE, also provides sensible leads to a feature detection system, though the face image is not realistic. The strategies are only tested for pictures with a similar head pose and facial emotion. in a future work, it will be planned to create tests with face pictures without these restrictions.
