Many people tend to be afraid of any kind of change that may be introduced in life. I have learned throughout the years that even though change may rattle me at the start, I always seem to adapt and embrace that change. A significant change happened in my life when I had to move to a big city 250 miles from home to attend college. Moving to a completely different environment has played a role in the person I am today.

I knew that going to a completely new city would have different challenges and obstacles that I needed to face head-on to succeed. The first year was the hardest year of my big change. I had moments of doubt and was always asking myself if this was the best move to make. Moving to a completely new city meant I had no friends or family members nearby, and no routine I could fall on. Everything was different, people had very different personalities and views about various things compared to my hometown. I had no family members nearby to visit to make myself feel at home. The biggest shock to me was that I had to balance many things such as late-night study sessions, friendships, a job, and life itself all at once – it became very overwhelming.

Over the years, I think this big change has played a very significant role in my life. Meeting new people has allowed me to surround myself with different personalities and attitudes. This exposure has taught me patience and empathy when it comes to listening to various types of people I work with. This has also taught me that everybody has a very dissimilar way of seeing the same thing, and not everybody sees that thing the same as I do. Being out of my comfort zone has allowed me to become a more discipline and self-confidence person. It has allowed me to put myself out there knowing that all I would gain from that are new skills. I see that confidence when it comes to helping my church in various events, and it enables me to have that willingness to help others without them having to ask. Finally, that feeling of being overwhelmed has shown me discipline and has allowed me to fully take on different events in my life. I have learned to adapt to different situations by using my exposure to change to fall back on. This experience in my life has played a huge role in the person I have grown to be, and more importantly, it has added up to different aspects of knowledge that I can use in my professional career.

This major change in my life has constructed the person that I am today. All those various exposure situations, such as interacting with people with different personalities and views, exposing myself to different situations, and having many things to deal with at once, have fortified my skills in working with people. It has allowed me to asses a situation from various angles, which lets me connect with the person I am working with. This has shown itself when I went back to the place where I volunteered a year later to work. I realized at that moment when everything was coming full circle that my passion has always been working with people. By finding ways to understand them and with the knowledge gained throughout my experience being able to help them.

All of these experiences added up to layers of knowledge, even those seemingly random events in my life had exposed me to various scenarios that play a role in the person I am. I understand that every change that occurs in my life is just an abundance of experiences that have altered me from the inside out. Experiences have molded me into the person I am today and have exposed me to various skills that I can use in my professional career.

It all started on a hot, humid, sunny day, the entire soccer team waiting to be called up by the coaches to find out who made the cut and who was off the team. Tensions were very high, you could feel it flowing through the air as if it was the wind. Everyone was waiting for their turn to be called up, with uncertainty about their position in the team. About 200 players were trying out, yet only 22 spots on the team. I had spent the entire summer preparing for this day, I spent countless hours on the track field running and spent a greater amount of time on the field training. What felt like hours back then now felt like mere seconds. I could’ve done more, I thought to myself. I would be devastated if I didn’t make the team. Thoughts continued swirling through my brain. What if I could have done something differently? What If I trained harder? What if I wasted all that time practicing and didn’t make the team? Trying my hardest to be patient, I sat waiting on the greenish-yellow artificial-looking turf, watching player after player coming back after being called. Some had huge grins on their face, unable to contain their excitement from making the team, while others came back with their heads down on the verge of tears. Seeing this was eating at me at a slow pace, I couldn’t help but think I was going to be one of the players who would get cut. I counted down the cheerful care-free looking faces, knowing there were only 22 spots, and that number was slowly going down. I was gradually becoming more and more nervous. The suspense was killing me, we had been waiting for hours in the hot sun. I could feel everything. My body was sore from playing all those hours, my stomach was growling because I hadn’t eaten since the morning and my stomach felt as if It would throw up any second from the fear and anxiety. I continued to sweat nervously, I could feel the sweat slowly trickling down my skin as more and more spots continued to fill up. More and more spots were filling up, and I had yet to be called. I looked at my friend, with whom I most compared myself in terms of skill, and asked him the burning question. I could barely speak. “Do you think we will make it?”. “I don’t know, but there are only 5 spots left and there are 33 of us left”, he replied. “But do you think we are good enough?”, I asked Victor. He could hear the strain in my voice, he knew that I wanted a spot just as bad as he did. And he said, “It doesn’t matter, the important thing is we tried our hardest”. I could tell that he did not mean that and was just trying to comfort me. Everything around me slowly became a blur, I was becoming dizzy and slowly zoning out, the uncertainty was eating at me internally. “Tarek”. “Tarek”. “Tarek, the coaches are calling you”.

I opened my eyes and looked up, I had fallen asleep. As I realized it was my turn, I slowly walked toward the coach’s bench. It felt as if I was in a horror movie walking toward my death. I sat down near the coaches and zoned out as they were talking. They were analyzing my playstyle and telling me what I could improve on. I tried very hard to concentrate on what they were saying, but not knowing if I had a spot was all my mind could comprehend. After what felt like an eternity, I heard what I was waiting for: “Congratulations, you made the team”. I kept a straight face while talking with the coaches, while inside I felt like happiness was surging through my veins. It felt like I was a little kid again, I wanted to treasure every moment of this. The coach then handed me the team papers and I walked away. My joy was through the roof. My hunger went away, my soreness went away, and the only thing I could feel was excitement. I couldn’t wait till I would tell my friends and family that I made it. All my hard work from the summer had paid off, and I had forgotten about all the stress I had leading up to this.

And although everything ended well for me, this event greatly affected my personality. This event made me think: even if I didn’t make the team, would it be the end of the world? I was filled with anxiety and fear over something that I shouldn’t have been worried about. To say I overreacted is an understatement, I felt like I was about to die about something very minuscule. Looking back on the situation, it helped me understand that even in tough situations or scary situations I should stay calm because there was no benefit in me thinking the way I did. Looking back on the situation, it helped me realize that even in tough situations or scary situations, I should stay calm because there was no benefit in my thinking the way I did. It was this event that became the trigger for my personal growth, during which I became collected and self-confident. Now I realize that all efforts will always be justified. And even if something doesn’t go the way we want, who knows what awaits us next?

One of the incidents from my recent placement was the most educational for me. I was looking after one of the patients in the facility (Ms. L) who has a history of epilepsy, cerebral palsy, type 2 diabetes, and intellectual impairment and was admitted after a stroke resulting in left-side weakness. As I was giving assistance with her dinner, she looked at me with a terrified expression, grabbed my hand, then said “Help”, and she started shaking. I was shocked for a second, but after she started shaking, I knew I had to press the medical emergency button. Two nurses and one of my student friends came rushing in and asked me what was happening. I took a few steps back and said, “She looks like she is having a seizure”. The nurses put the bed rails down and started comforting Ms. L while she was having the episode. She stopped shaking after approximately 30-35 seconds as the doctor walked in. Ms. L stated she felt something bad had happened and she remembered she was shaking. The doctor asked me what happened as I was the only one in the room with her at the time. I was quite shaken up at the time, but I informed him of the event as briefly as I could, without missing any important information. The doctor classified the event as a seizure-like episode with modifications in her observations.

As unfortunate as this event was, it was a great learning opportunity for me as I had never been involved in an episode like this. It gave me time to reflect and think about my actions and feelings. I was very sympathetic to Ms. L. She was left very shaken up after the event, and I noticed that she was not like herself the next day, and the staff members agreed. The team of nurses and doctor communicated very well with each other about what had happened, what can be done moving forward, and did not forget to involve me and Ms. L, which resulted in a more patient-centered care plan as effective communication within the healthcare team members greatly contributes towards providing quality care towards any patient. Everything was documented correctly and passed forward in handovers, which is very important as one of the main skills for nurses. I saw how complicated situations like this are handled in a practical setting and how simpler things can be overlooked. Reflecting on the events, if I was the nurse in the facility, I would have shown interest in an immediate care plan for Ms. L as everyone left right after the episode, whereas she looked like she still needed some level of comfort. I was glad that there were other students and my facilitator that I could talk to as I was scared, but I decided to learn more about the condition so that I will be more prepared if I come across this type of situation again. As a nurse, I need to be calm and prepared for events in a clinical setting where nurses need to think critically and act immediately. I would like to help in this situation in the future rather than step back as this time I tried not to get in the way as I was unsure of myself and will follow the standards for registered nurses with confidence.

It was a truly remembered event for me. It was a great experience where the importance of interpersonal communication was shown for quality care for the patient.

Have you ever encountered an event that was so profoundly extreme, intense, scary, or moving that it transformed you completely and shaped you as a human being? Seven years prior, on January 25, 2011, to be exact, it was as if a lamp had been lit. I witnessed a certain reality, and from that point onward my whole life transformed.

At that time I was 8, I knew nothing about politics, but I was quite sure that something wrong was happening. There seemed to be an unlimited number of homeless people. Everything seemed to be plummeting, except prices that had been rising horribly. Egyptians were upset and waiting for the right time to move on. That was the moment the Egyptian revolution began.

On January 28, 2011, I was in my playroom with my brother when we suddenly heard our family shouting. They were reacting to what had happened, reacting to the constant hitting and beating of protesters gathered in Tahrir Square. Families were taken into custody and were treated horribly. I stood still, loaded with anger, simply saying: “These people demand nothing but their freedom”. I spent the day thinking about the darkness and terror that we were living in. At that time, so many rumors were spread to scare those who wanted to go out and protest. Later that day, I saw men with weapons running below our balcony, however, they turned out to be protecting our building, thank goodness. People were looting everywhere, taking advantage of the change in infrastructure. The men from each building grabbed weapons to keep unwanted visitors out of the building.

On Friday, I went to pray the weekly and most important prayer in a somewhat far away mosque with my father. My father had told my mom that I would have people around me if anything happened. After the prayer, we saw an enormous demonstration heading toward the street where we prayed. Thousands of protesters chanted these three words, together, one after the other: bread, freedom, and human dignity. It was an amazingly indescribable scene. It was the first time in my whole life to see something like this. And we decided to join them. We continued strolling, heading towards Tahrir Square. We experienced three police ambushes and managed to get through the first one without any conflicts. The second and third we entered into strong fights. They kept throwing tear gas grenades toward us, and the people replied with rocks and stones. We then walked for hours. My father and I ate nothing until then. We were really tired, especially after inhaling horrible tear gas the whole time. However, while walking, a really nice guy offered us water and snacks, and we decided to go home.

On Sunday, my mum informed me that our school canceled class once protests started in our neighborhoods. On the first day without school, my mum and I went to the grocery store. The store was full of people pushing, a line out the door, and empty shelves. We bought enough food to stock our kitchen and hurried home. It did not feel safe to leave the apartment, especially after watching our doorman beat a man off of his motorcycle because he did not belong on our street.

The situation escalated every day; Cairo was the scene of violent clashes in the streets. As the marches of protesters grew, the government moved to isolate them. Access to the Internet, phone, and social media networks was shut down, temporarily sealing our country off from the rest of the world. The police moved in arresting people, chasing others into side streets. The sounds of automatic weapons could be heard from our home. It was at this point were we realized that the situation was out of control, and my dad decided that we should accept his job offer in Abu Dhabi and that we should all move with him. We were all shocked by the decision my dad took because it was a large step to take in such a short period because it will result in us leaving our house, friends, and family. However, leaving the country during such times seemed like the safest and the right decision. We booked our tickets to Abu Dhabi, and we started packing our stuff.

February 4, 2011, was the day that we made our way to a terminal to attempt to leave Egypt, at Cairo Airport. On our way to the airport, we saw some protesters knock down an empty white police booth and dragged it for several yards before setting it on fire and blocking traffic on the main bridge over the Nile. Plumes of black smoke from a burning police truck wafted through the white clouds of tear gas that floated along the Nile. That was the last sight that I saw before leaving my home country. My tears fell as the plane took off. For the first time in my life, I was tempted to leave Egypt, despite not knowing when I would be returning. This event definitely had a significant impact on me and transformed me into who I am today.

Qualities will be characteristics that one considers to be advantageous and, in that capacity, go about as the main impetus in their life. An individual’s qualities overshadow different characteristics and, in this manner, direct the way wherein an individual may act specifically occasions. In my life, I have various qualities that I hold.

One of the instructive qualities that are key to me is accomplishment. This is because of my conviction that what characterizes me most as an individual is my assurance to succeed and my longing to make a positive commitment to society through my profession. Accomplishment is, in this manner, one of the qualities that are generally critical to me since, currently, accomplishment and achievement are for the most part integrated with instructive achievement. Accordingly, I hold my instructive endeavors in high regard since training is one of the roads where one’s assurance prompts quantifiable achievement.

I greatly value close relationships and associations with my companions and continually look to concrete the equivalent. This is on the grounds that great companions can help one accomplish his/her objectives throughout everyday life and can occasionally even be nearer than family. Consequently, I contribute a ton of time and exertion to my dear companions. I make it a need to be a piece of the huge minutes in my companions’ lives, for example, their birthday celebrations, wedding days, and even child-dedicating functions. Moreover, I generally guarantee that I ask as to their good creatures occasionally.

Development and self-awareness for me is an exceptionally central worth and their significance in my life can’t be downplayed. It is my conviction that my life isn’t worth a lot if I don’t endeavor to always enhance my accomplishments just as in improving as an individual. This estimation of individual development and advancement significantly impacts my everyday living, particularly with regard to building up new relations. It is commonly my standard that if another relationship won’t enhance my life, at that point I ought not to burn through my time investigating it.

Indeed, even amidst such a situation, despite everything I hold trustworthiness as one of my guiding principles. This is generally because of my childhood whereby legitimacy was praised and untrustworthiness avoided. Likewise, I have come to understand that when one makes progress through trustworthiness, the degree of fulfillment that accompanies it is genuinely unmatched by some other inclination.

Inferable from my childhood, I have tremendous respect for religion. All things considered, one of my profound qualities is drawing in myself in some strict association. While the facts demonstrate that the greater part of my strict qualities is because of my childhood, I have after some time come to hold onto them as my own and in this way make it my own obligation to be effectively engaged with my strict association.

To me, this achieves a feeling of equalization and encourages me to be progressively intelligent and energetic about my life. My strict qualities sway my basic leadership since I do whatever it takes not to settle on decisions that are in opposition to my strict convictions.

Two friends

The two boys lived nearby and went to one school, the same college, but later, found jobs in different cities. This was hardly a hindrance to their friendship because they kept visiting one another, continued to talk on the phone to exchange news, and advised each other on all things including girls.

After getting married, they, busy with their families, didn’t notice the ties between them weakening. The friendship that was such an essential part of their lives, faded. They lost touch, though their memories preserved the beautiful moments that they shared from their youth.

Once, already retired, one of the friends felt lonely, and he dialed his friend’s number. It turned out that his friend was truly happy to revive this dear old connection! They had a long chat full of laughter and tears, and heartwarming exchanges. When it was time to say goodbye, they decided to meet at the earliest.

On the agreed day, one friend met the other at the railway station in his town and brought him home. Looks-wise, both of them had changed a lot, but it hardly mattered, since the bond of their friendship appeared to be as strong as ever. After a hearty meal, they talked unhurriedly about the things that used to amuse them when they were young. Gradually they came to the topic of the afterlife.

“If only I could get personal proof of it being there, I would have believed in it at once,” said the host.

“Let’s agree,” his friend replied, “that whoever gets to Heaven first will make sure to send the other a sign!”

They felt very content at having decided so.

The next morning the friend left. Very pleased with his visit, he called in the evening to say that he enjoyed the time they had together. He spoke unusually softly, and then the line got disconnected.

Five minutes later there came a call from the same number, but this time it was the friend’s wife. “I am sorry to inform you of my husband’s demise.” She said sorrowfully, but quite distinctly.

“How did it happen?”

“He had a stroke, and passed away after a week in a coma, without coming to.”

“When did it happen?”

“Yesterday morning.”

“But yesterday morning…..”

“I am sorry, but I have little time to talk. There are many more people on his list that I need to inform about his passing. Please excuse me.”

She hung up.

How this could all happen was indeed something for the other friend to think about.

The first two decades of the 20th century was known as the Progressive Era. During the Progressive Era, many things happened. For example, Henry Ford created the Model T and made mass production easier with the creation of the assembly line. Also, there was a rise in women’s suffrage and feminism. Socialism has also reached its greatest effect in America during this time period. The Progressive Era was full of expansions of political and economic freedom.

In the Progressive Era, women were making more of a public appearance. Women began to work for wages. White native-born women worked in offices and as telephone operators. Foreign-born women worked lower paying jobs located in factories. When more women started earning their own money, they took notice into fashion and entertainment. They liked to spend their money on new clothing, makeup, and leisure activities like amusement parks, dance halls, and cinema theaters. Feminism grew extensively and started to enter more political conversations. This generation of women used the word ‘feminism’ for more freedom with there sexual and reproductive choices.

The American Socialism influence was increased in the beginning of the Progressive Era. The Socialist Party believed that the United States should make reforms such as make college education free, Legislation should improve the working conditions, and there should be democratic control over the economy. The American Federation of Labor (AFL) was a union created for radical and socialist workers. This union represented mostly privileged American workers, skilled industrialists, and craft laborers. They consisted mostly of white, native-born men. Another union was then established, The Industrial Workers of the World (IWW), which was formed with the people who were excluded from the AFL. It was made of immigrant factory workers, women, African Americans, agricultural workers, and the Chinese immigrants in the West.

The economy grew due to the increased industrial production, the expansion of the consumer marketplace and the rise in population. A mass consumer society emerged from the large department stores, the neighborhood chain stores, and the retail mail-order houses. The consumer marketplace expanded because there was a broad display of goods and Americans also could buy their own time-saving machines like washing machines, electric sewing machines, and vacuum cleaners. The rise in population was due to mass immigrants moving to America and into the cities. Between the years 1901 and 1914, thirteen million immigrants moved into the United States. This increase in population helped the economy boom.

Immigrants were moving to America because America was known as ‘the land of the free’. They wanted to enjoy equality, economic opportunity, and to be liberated from their home country’s social hierarchy. Immigrants moved for economic opportunity, but worked long hours in dangerous environments for low wages. The wages were still higher than their home country wages but in America they were still low wages.

Abstract

The prodigiously generated data by users on social networking and microblogging sites such as Facebook and Twitter is colossal. These user-contributed data are basically short messages that tend to reflect a variety of events in real time, making Twitter particularly well-suited as a source of real-time event content. Utilizing this feature of Twitter, we present Twitter-Detector, a system that performs event detection over the Twitter stream. The system monitors and identifies emerging events (i.e. ‘topics’) on Twitter in real-time and provides meaningful analytics that synthesizes an accurate description of each topic. Users interact with the system by ordering the identified events using different criteria and submitting their own descriptions for each event.

We discuss the motivation for event detection over social media streams and the challenges that lie therein. We then describe our approach to event detection, as well as the architecture of Twitter-detector. Finally, we lay out our demonstration scenario.

Keywords: Twitter analysis, Event detection.

Introduction

TWITTER is a popular micro-blogging service, that has received much attention in recent times. This online social network is used by millions of people around the world to remain socially connected to their friends, family members, and co-workers through their computers and mobile phones. A status update message, called a tweet, is often used as a message to friends and colleagues. A user can follow other users; that user’s followers can read her tweets on a regular basis. A user who is being followed by another user need not necessarily reciprocate by following them back, which renders the links of the network as directed. Twitter was launched on July 2006, and since then users have increased rapidly. [2]There are 330 million monthly users and 145 million daily active users on Twitter generating 65 million tweets per day. The service is still adding about 300,000 users per day. Many researchers have published their studies on Twitter to date, especially during the past year. Most studies can be classified into one of three groups: first, some researchers have sought to analyze the network structure of Twitter. Second, some researchers have specifically examined the characteristics of Twitter as a social medium. Third, some researchers and developers have tried to create new applications using Twitter. [3]Several important instances exemplify their real-time nature: in the case of an extremely strong earthquake in Nepal, many pictures were transmitted through Twitter. People were thereby able to know the circumstances of damage in Nepal immediately. [4]In another instance, when the fire broke out in Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris last April, the first reports were published through Twitter and Tumblr. In such a manner, numerous update results in numerous reports related to events. They include social events such as parties, baseball games, and presidential campaigns. They also include disastrous events such as storms, fires, traffic jams, riots, heavy rainfall, and earthquakes. [5]There has been a large amount of research in the area of sentiment classification. Generally, tweets are not as thoughtfully composed as reviews. Yet, they still offer companies an additional avenue to gather feedback. The research question of our study is, “can we detect such event occurrence in real-time by monitoring tweets? “This paper presents an investigation of the real-time nature of Twitter that is designed to ascertain whether we can extract valid information from it.

Literature review

Social Networks are a key part of this development, incorporating new information plus communication tools and attracting millions of users. Boyd and Ellison (2007) outline the term Social Network Sites (SNS), typified by individuals who construct an online profile communicating with other users and sharing common ideas, activities, events, and interests. [2]Location-Based Social Networks further enhance existing social networks, adding a spatial dimension with location-embedded services. For example, users upload geotagged photos via Flickr, check in at a venue with Foursquare, or comment on a local event via Twitter. Geoinformation extracted from these Location-Based Social Networks is usually included under the umbrella of Volunteered Geographic [3]Information (Sui and Goodchild 2011). However, Harvey (2013) argues that this would be more precisely labeled as “contributed” data since people do not consciously volunteer their data, but generate it in the process of using the platforms for their particular purposes. In the case of Twitter, users can post short-status messages with up to 140 characters and may include photo attachments, which are called “tweets”. These posts can contain specificsyntax such as hashtags (#) as a keyword or term assigned to a topic the users are discussing or commenting about. Furthermore, a user can subscribe to “follow” or become a “follower” of other users’ tweets with the possibility of replying directly (@) to all Twitter posts. According to Twitter, about 271 million monthly active users are generating an average of 500 million tweets per day (https://about.twitter.com/company). [4]With the permission of the user, each tweet contains a corresponding geo-location acquired from the GPS sensor within the mobile device. These location-driven social structures allow mobile device owners with ubiquitous internet access to exchange details of their personal location as a key point of interaction(Zheng 2011). Location-Based Social Networks are bridging the gap between our physical world and online social network services containing three layers of information according toSymeonidis et al. (2014): (1) a social network (user layer); (2) a geographical network (location layer); and (3) a semantic metadata network (content layer). Therefore, user posts in Twitter represent a spatiotemporal signal (geolocation and times-tamp of tweet) with a semantic information layer (the content of tweet message). After the user registration, all tweets can be collected in real-time through the official Twitter streaming API (https://dev.twitter.com/docs/api/streaming). [4]The API query allows the filtering of keywords and individual user posts to preselect tweets as well as the possibility of obtaining only georeferenced Twitter messages within a predefined bounding box. Analyzing this spatiotemporal information layer, which is a by-product of individual people’s social interaction, may lead to new insights into understanding spatial structures and underlying patterns. This interdisciplinary and relatively new research field of Location-Based Social Networksshows a lack commonly used online databases and available literature sources.

Implemented model

System Overview

Here first pre-processing of Data is done on the dataset. After this, the applications are categorized according to the attributes which we have taken into consideration. And this all is visualized to the user through the interface which we have built.

System Architecture:

Figure 1: Architecture of the system

The above architecture shows the flow of how the procedure of the system is going to work and how the interface is built. In the above architecture we can see the different steps that are used for the working of the system and the same are explained below:

Twitter-Detector performs event detection in two steps and analyzes events in a third step. First, it identifies ‘bulky/bursty’ keywords, i.e. keywords that appear suddenly in tweets at an unusually high rate. Subsequently, it groups bulky keywords into events based on their co-occurrence. In other words, an event is identified as a set of bulky keywords that occur frequently together in tweets. After an event is identified, Twitter-Detector extracts additional information from the tweets that belong to the event, aiming to discover interesting aspects of it. Each of the three steps described above is pictured as a component of the diagram shown in figure 1 and is described in detail in the following paragraphs.

Homescreen

Figure 2:- Home screen of event detection using Twitter analysis

The home screen of event detection using Twitter analysis is shown in fig. 2. Twitter-Detector treats bulky keywords as ‘entry points for event detection. In other words, whenever a keyword exhibits bulky behavior, Twitter-Detector considers this an indication that a new topic has emerged and seeks to explore it further Effective and efficient detection of bulky keywords is thus crucial to Twitter-Detector’s performance

Twitter Generation Prediction:

It consists of data regarding twitter in a particular area. According it generates the value for solar radiance.

Data Consumption Log:

It consists of a list of data regarding the consumption of data by an individual.

Data Generation Prediction:

Figure 3:- Details for checking data generation

The first and foremost thing is to generate a limited amount of data. For this, we have to collect a data set of Twitter. This data set is provided to Twitter for analyzing the relationship between Twitter and irradiance. After manual entering of city, state, and country code(as shown in fig.3), this analysis will collect data of messages from that city and accordingly calculate the value of irradiance.

Energy Consumption Log

The energy consumption log consists of a list of user data consisting of his/her name, email address, and consumption of energy. This data is used to keep a record of the consumption of energy by all the users. It comprises of two things:

Add Log:

It is a manual data-entering process wherein the consumption of each user’s data is entered manually.

Figure 4:- Entering details for energy consumption data of the user

After entering this data, the following will appear on the screen.

Figure 5:- Adding Log

Existing Log:

The existing log comprises of list of user data that consumes energy. This data is used by a machine learning model to predict further consumption of energy by the user. Accordingly, that much amount of energy is transmitted to the user. This ensures that the energy is not getting wasted.

· Figure 6:-List of user data in existing log

System Model:

Under the Tweets section, you can find a list of all your Tweets and the number of impressions. You can see individual Tweet performance, as well as recent months or a 28-day overview of cumulative impressions. Capitalize on this information by repurposing Tweets that gained the most impressions, or creating Tweets on a similar subject. You can also use the cumulative overview to compare monthly activity. What did you do differently in a month with higher impressions? Did you Tweet more frequently? Take a look and see how you can recreate months that earned you high impressions. Another option is to try out Promoted Tweets, which will help your content reach more people.

We’ve analyzed the pre-collected data set of temperature and irradiance onto which we are applying the linear regression model. Using this model, we’re predicting irradiance(dependent variable) with the help of Twitter.(independent variable) collected through the changing weather. The value of irradiance will help us analyze the amount of energy required for generation. This energy will be transmitted to all the locations. This transmitted energy when not required in one place is further redistributed to another user who is requesting more energy. This energy is redistributed by using FCFS(First Come First Serve) algorithm. The user requesting first will be provided with this redistributed energy irrespective of the amount of energy required by the usersю

Results

After analyzing We will first present our results for the objective subjective and classifications. These results act as the first step of our classification approach. We only use the short-listed features for both of these results. This means that for objective / subjective classification we have 5 features and for positive /negative classification we have 3 features. For both of these results, we use the Naïve Bayes classification algorithm because that is the algorithm we are employing in our actual classification approach at the first step. Furthermore, all the figures reported are the result of 10-fold cross-validation. We take an average of each of the 10 values to get from the cross-validation.

Focus on renewable energy

Also, data storage is provided so the data can be further used for checking no of users are there. The interface is built shows us the various co-relations of attributes that we have selected and how it affects the overall ratings of the applications.

When we upload a Dataset it takes time to load onto the system and the information is pre-processed and represented to us by doing all the analysis for predicting the result

The below graph depicts the prediction of irradiance using temperature,in this graph actual irradiance given in the data set is denoted by a blue line and the predicted irradiance is denoted orange line i.e figure 9.

Figure 9:- Graph of Generation of irradiance with the help of Twitter

Figure 10:- Graph of Generation of data with the help of irradiance

The above graph shows the data analysis done by linear regression algorithm and predicted energy generation with the help of irradiance which is shown in above Table II and figure I. In the above graph blue line depicts the actual amount of energy generation and the orange one denotes the predicted one.

Conclusion

The task of sentiment analysis, especially in the domain of micro-blogging, is still in the developing stage and far from complete. So we propose a couple of ideas which we feel are worth exploring in the future and may result in further improved performance. Apart from this, we are currently only focusing on unigrams and the effect of bigrams and trigrams may be explored. As reported in the literature review section when bigrams are used along with unigrams this usually enhances performance.

Future Scope

The future extent of this paper is vast and can be used in several ways and not just as Twitter, a micro-blogging service is estimated to have about 200 million registered users and these users create approximately 65 million tweets a day. Twitter users usually show their opinion about topics of their interest.
