Interview with Miss Universe 2006 – India Neha Kapur

Miss Universe 2006 – India Neha Kapur 

 

What are your interests and what do you enjoy doing the most?
I am a keen painter and my special interest lies in painting subjects to do with women and Hindu mythology. I also enjoy traveling to new places because it gives me the opportunity to meet new people and understand new and diverse cultures.

Name one person other than your parents who has had the most influence on your life. Why?
No one is really my idol in the sense that no one has influenced my life to such an extent that I ape them. People leave behind examples and that’s what we usually end up following. That’s what I believe in, rather than having one individualistic personality influence my life.

What is your career ambition and what are you doing or plan to do to accomplish that goal?
My career ambition has always been to make sure that whatever I do in life is true to myself and the people I love. My goal will be that in whatever I do I will give 100%. At the end of the day, I will have nothing to prove to anyone else except myself.

Describe where you were raised and what your childhood was like.
I was born and brought up in New Delhi. I am one of three children and have two older brothers who both dote on me and have pampered me since I was little. My parents have always been very encouraging in all my personal and professional decisions. I had a secure, comfortable and happy childhood, and the values taught to me continue to stay with me till date.

What makes you unique and different from the other contestants?
In my opinion, each contestant is different and unique in her own way because each one of us comes from a very different upbringing and environment. Apart from taking pride in being a modern Indian woman with intrinsic traditional Indian values, my strength lies in being able to understand and accept people from diverse backgrounds and cultures. I am a very honest person; what you see is what you get.

INTERVIEW WITH MISS UNIVERSE 2006 – AUSTRALIA ERIN MCNAUGHT

MISS UNIVERSE 2006 – AUSTRALIA ERIN MCNAUGHT

  

What are your interests and what do you enjoy doing the most?
Going to the beach, mountain biking, trail running, reading, crossword puzzles, playing pool, and snowboarding. Puttering around the house, though, is my favorite thing to do.

Name one person other than your parents who has had the most influence on your life. Why?
Other than family, I am most influenced by David Attenborough, the wildlife documentary reporter, because of his unwavering dedication and devotion to nature, my greatest passion. I especially admire that his participation in the field has continued well-past what others may consider a normal retirement age as he is in his late 70’s.

What is your career ambition and what are you doing or plan to do to accomplish that goal?
I aim towards a career in television, either as a presenter on an environmental show or as a wildlife documentary reporter. I am currently using my increasing knowledge of the modeling and acting industries to gain exposure and in the future plan on undertaking studies in journalism and media or wildlife biology.

Describe where you were raised and what your childhood was like.
I was raised in Brisbane and had an extremely active “back-to-nature” childhood. My parents, my two older brothers and I regularly went on long bushwalks/treks all over Australia, an activity that I loved. We also lived in Seattle for two years when I was in my early teens; we went from sunny Brisbane to rainy Seattle. Luckily, I have a very adaptable personality!

What makes you unique and different from the other contestants?
I have an extremely quirky sense of humour that sees me entertaining myself and other people non-stop! (But, for the record, mostly myself…) A remnant of growing up with two older brothers is that I am a bit of a tomboy and am not afraid to get my hands dirty. (I love playing touch football and fishing.)

The Hot C++ Interview Question Asked

The Hot C++ Interview Question: 

How do you rank your C++ skills on a scale of 1 to 10?

This is often the first question you will hear on an interview for a C++ contract. You will be tempted to rate yourself high, and you should. This is your chance to convince the client that you are just what he is looking for–an assertive and knowledgeable professional who will be productive either working on a team or on your own. Naturally, though, you should be able to support the ranking you gave yourself by doing well on the interview.

Q1. Is there anything you can do in C++ that you cannot do in C?

A1. No. There is nothing you can do in C++ that you cannot do in C. After all you can write a C++ compiler in C.

Q2. What is the difference between C++ structure and C++ class?

A2. The default access level assigned to members of struct is public while the default access level assigned to a class is private.

Q3. What is encapsulation? A3. Encapsulation is welding of code and data together into objects.

Q4. What is inheritance?

A4. Inheritance is a mechanism through which a subclass inherits the properties and behavior of its superclass.

Q5. What is polymorphism?

A5. In Greek this means “many shapes.” As a consequence of inheritance and virtual functions, a single task (for example, drawing a geometrical shape) can be implemented using the same name (like draw()) and implemented differently (via virtual functions) as each type in object hierarchy requires(circle.draw() or rectangle.draw()). Later, when a polymorphic object (whose type is not known at compile time) executes the draw() virtual function, the correct implementation is chosen and executed at run time.

Q6. What would you say if you saw “delete this” while reviewing your peer’s code?

A6. You should never do this. Since compiler does not know whether the object was allocated on the stack or on the heap, “delete this” could cause a disaster.

Q7. What is the difference between public, protected, and private members of a class?

A7. Private members are accessible only by members and friends of the class. Protected members are accessible by members and friends of the class and by members and friends of derived classes. Public members are accessible by everyone.

Q8. What is the difference between non-virtual and virtual functions?

A8. The behavior of a non-virtual function is known at compile time while the behavior of a virtual function is not known until the run time.

Q9. What is a pure virtual function?

A9. “A pure virtual function is a function declared in a base class that has no definition relative to the base.”

Q10. What is an abstract base class?

A10. It is a class that has one or more pure virtual functions.

Video Code Convertor – RGB to YUV Pixel Conversation

Video Code Convertor – RGB to YUV Pixel Conversation

Let me first give introduction about RGB and YUV.
RGB and YUV are two different way of storing video.
RGB (Red, Green and Blue)
The RGB color model is an additive model in which red, green and blue
are combined in various ways to reproduce other colors.The name of the
model and the abbreviation “RGB” come from the three primary colors,
Red, Green and Blue.

YUV (Brightness and color)
The color encoding system used for analog television worldwide
(NTSC, PAL and SECAM). The YUV color space (color model) differs
from RGB, which is what the camera captures and what humans view.

YUV also saves transmission bandwidth compared to RGB. For rendering on
screen, all these color spaces must be converted back again to RGB
by the TV or display system

The YUV model defines a color space in terms of one luminance and
two chrominance components.YUV is used in the analog variant of the
PAL system of television broadcasting, which is the standard in
much of the world.Y stands for the luminance component (the brightness)
 and U and V are the chrominance (color) components

The Mathmatically conversion formula:

RGB to YUV Conversion
Y  = (0.257 * R) + (0.504 * G) + (0.098 * B) + 16

V =  (0.439 * R) – (0.368 * G) – (0.071 * B) + 128

U = -(0.148 * R) – (0.291 * G) + (0.439 * B) + 128
YUV to RGB Conversion
B = 1.164(Y – 16)                  + 2.018(U – 128)

G = 1.164(Y – 16) – 0.813(V – 128) – 0.391(U – 128)

R = 1.164(Y – 16) + 1.596(V – 128)
