Though Artificial Intelligence (AI) is a hot topic for businesses right now, it has so far failed to shake up the real estate industry and the use of property software in the same way it has transformed sectors such as banking and healthcare. Tom Shrive explains how the sector is ripe for AI disruption, and why this burgeoning tech will not jeopardise jobs.

AI is an inescapable buzzword at the moment and has become an essential part of the technology industry. However, the emergence of Artificial Intelligence (AI) has not come without controversy, provoking polarized responses from the general public.

By definition, artificial intelligence is technology that can perform human-like tasks. AI mimics human behavior and learns to adapt through machine learning and problem solving.

For many, there are fears that our increasing dependence on AI will generate widespread unemployment in jobs that could, in theory, be automated.

Yet AI has already made a huge impact within diverse sectors such as agriculture and manufacturing, without eliminating jobs. In reality, the introduction of AI to these industries has helped individuals carry out their jobs more efficiently, reducing the time spent on tedious and time-consuming tasks with office software, which could be better handled automatically.

In light of this, the property industry seems comparatively stagnant due to its reliance on traditional methods, making it well positioned for disruption with the successful implementation of AI.

Tom Shrive is the CEO of Google-backed askporter.

Having managed a small property portfolio, I discovered that there are numerous administrative tasks that could be better managed with the assistance of automated technology.

Though straightforward, tasks such as collecting rent, updating accounting software and organising and logging household maintenance, are hugely time-consuming.

Traditional property management methods mean that it can take days or even weeks of toing and froing between tenant and contractor to organise a suitable time for a repair, waiting for parts, and handling billing and invoicing software.

The efficacy of the property management industry could be vastly improved if irreplaceable human experts worked in tandem with sophisticated AI technology to simplify certain aspects of the job.

AI has the potential to make managing spaces simple and remove laborious legwork. With AI, a boiler repair, for example, could be organised automatically, so that property managers could focus on issues that cannot be resolved by automated solutions.

AI has already improved and simplified so many aspects of our everyday lives. Though we may not realise it, millions of us interact with AI in some way every day.

Our interaction with virtual assistants like Apples Siri, Amazons Alexa and Google Assistant reflects this. And this is only the beginning. New advances in AI, such as driverless cars, are well underway.

Just as Siri or a Google Assistant can help save time by ordering the weekly food shop or turning on the heating at home, AI could revolutionise the way household issues are resolved for tenants, streamlining the process for all parties.

For some, AI might conjure up frightening images of robots taking over our jobs and homes. But the increasing use of AI shouldnt be a thing to fear, nor is it far away in the distant future.

One of the foremost concerns surrounding AI in the property industry is that machines will eventually develop to outperform humans, leading to unemployment. But this is not true because AI cannot replace humans to perform all tasks. AI has been specifically developed to simplify repetitive and time-consuming processes; freeing up time for property managers, letting agents and contractors to deal with more pressing problems.

There are a number of prop-tech start-ups beginning to disrupt and reform the industry, utilising advanced technology to improve property market infrastructure and maintenance management.

There are always risks associated with new technology, especially when it aims to disrupt current practices. But the successful implementation of AI in order to accelerate processes and improve efficiencies across the board makes it a risk worth taking.

According to LSE professor of robotic process automation, Leslie Willcocks, AI: takes the robot out of the human. Companies will automate only the tedious aspects of office jobs and continue to retain staff to work alongside machines. This means that employees would be able to focus on significant tasks such as liaising with clients and managing important decisions, which require sound human judgement, rather than getting bogged down by repetitive administrative tasks.

Thus, the increasing popularity and prevalence of AI is sure to grow and develop, going on to challenge and inevitably change and improve all industries. This will lead to the creation of more efficient businesses, so that time and resources can be better prioritised, resources saved and services improved.

AI ready to disrupt the property market - TechRadar

Mathematically, were supposed to like the show.

Fair enough, Dennis. Lets look at the suicidal guy on the bars roof episode Paddys Has A Jumper purely from the emotionless, feelings-free, Netflix-style algorithmic perspective that, at episodes start, has sent the Gang down an unlikely binge-watching rabbit-hole involving the suspiciously British period streaming drama Gainsborough Gardens. Taking our cue from Dennis approximation of the bloodless perfection of pure science and math in determining human behavior, likes, dislikes, and life and death, our appreciation of this episode of television (written here by Dannah Phirman & Danielle Schneider) should follow in lockstep progression according to how closely it adheres to the blueprint. So . . . lets go to the data.

Inciting incident: Guy on the roof. Every Sunny episode has to set the stakes, in the sense that something in the world has to annoy, fire up, enthrall, or even, in this case, marginally inconvenience the Gang. Here, after a Philly copwalks into Paddys and reasonably asks Dee, Mac, Charlie, and Dennis (Franks out getting Gainsborough Gardens-inspired fish and chips) to stay inside since the front of the bar is cordoned off, the Gang is confronted with the moral implications of a fellow human being in pain contemplating the ultimate act of self-destruction. Which, them being them, means slotting their existential thoughts immediately into Dennis three-part algorithm re: the poor bastard on the roof. They are: Could He? (kill himself by jupming the 30 feet from Paddys roof); Would he? (jump); and Should we? (do anything whatsoever to either prevent or accelerate said jumping).

Debate and planning: The algorithm. At first, everyone splits along individual character lines regarding the poor bastard on the roof. Mac brings up the whole mortal sin thing, his default faith offering one foolproof path for him to follow. Charlie, noting that the cops seemingly have the whole thing in hand, pawns off responsibility that way. Dee, falling back on the certainty offered up by clich, scoffs that the poor bastards act is just a cry for help, and, in the process, offers up graphically accurate suicide techniques in such an offhand manner that the guys assume shes clearly done some depressingly serious research into the topic. Dennis, as ever fashioning himself as the Gangs voice of cool, dispassionate reason, takes his cue from the cold, emotionless logic that brought them the sedate glories of Gainsborough Gardens, and quickly and confidently gins up his own algorithm to remove all human feeling from a deeply thorny human dilemma.

Now, theres at least a few complicating factors that lend an air of urgency even to Dennis superior logic. For one thing, Frank cant get back in with their fish and chips. For another, as the Gang spitballs, they ruminate on the pros and cons of being known as the suicide bar (as opposed to Paddys current reputation as, one can only guess, the bar where no one ever seems to be working, or the bar that occasionally and wantonly serves the underaged), with the eventual lure of lucrative infamy winning out. (Suggested theme drinks: The Last Call; The Lemon Drop; The Jump Shot; Macs game-winning Cosmo-fall-itan. Suggested jukebox songs: Free Fallin; Highway To Hell.) Plus, Charlies all in on Dees idea of a nightly haunted house, undoubtedly peopled by the spirits of the drunk and damned.

Complication and grossness: Frank. Isolated on his fish mission, Frank finds himself stuck behind police tape, happily munching from his grease-slicked paper bag of the Gangs food. Frank is often odd Gang member out, his age and own particularly atavistic brand of awfulness sending him scurrying on a parallel, if somehow more ridiculously grubby journey to the rest. Here, his panic over the Gang using the unnervingly prized and hole-bored casaba melon he keeps in the bar safe, sees him trying to bull his way past the police cordon in order to save what the rest of the Gang assumes is his own personal, low-cost sexual aid in order to test Dennis first flowchart step of whether a human head would smash open. (Charlies original egg test fails since he forgot hed hard-boiled it, and its some unidentified creature egg he found in a burrow.)

I love Danny DeVito, and love him on Sunny, but sometimes Franks shenanigans can feel extraneous, too broad, or both. Or, as here, shoehorned in by some clunky writing. It took a few views to realize that Frank never means to suggest to the obliging officer that hes the father of the poor sap on the roof, but is, instead, just babbling about his actual (sort-of) son Dennis doing something stupid like, for example, dropping his prized sex-melon on the floor. The return of Philly reporter and the Frank and Dennis lust object Jackie Denardo (Jessica Collins) only muddies the gag up further, as Franks to-camera orders to Dennis now include claiming the womans bagonzas for his own and making silly faces with his mouth jammed full of fried fish. Paddy Has Jumper sets up the pieces for a classic bottle episode with the cops initial order no one can enter or exit the building until the situation is resolved, and it probably would have been better served by focusing the action inside the bar.

Thats because Dennis mind-exercise allows for Glenn Howerton, Charlie Day, Rob McElhenney, and Kaitlin Olson to do some especially funny character business as the four debate the inevitably selfish and tortuous reasoning involved. Taking the lead, Dennis gets to toss some kindling on the whole, smoldering is Dennis a serial killer debate, by bringing up damningly specific details about the falling death of his late, unlamented ex-wife, Maureen Ponderosa. (Or at least he certainly made it look that way, he ruminates ominously concerning the theory that someone was on that roof when cat-lady Maureen feel to er untimely death.) Asking the others how you can really know someone elses mind leads to some telling answers like go through their trash (Charlie), sleep with them (Dee), and a very complicated plot to blackmail their priest with sex and then blackmail him again to get into heaven. (Guess.)

Some of Sunnys best comedy comes from these situations, where an episodes plot squeezes out more buried aspects of the Gangs innermost weirdness, as, here, when Dennis perusal of the would-be jumpers social media profile turns into an elaborately embroidered tale of love gone wrong over a widening disconnect regarding a certain sexual act. (Theres a certain glint in the eyes, a certain sparkle, muses Dennis as he runs his fingers over the face of the woman hes absolutely convinced gradually soured on said sex act.)

Resolution: Do nothing and go back to watching TV. Thats what happens when Franks unintentional ploy lures the jumper down with the promise of reunion with his estranged father. And that just as the rest of the Gang has really (if algorithmically) warmed to the idea that the only logical move here is to send the obliging Cricket up to the roof with a broom to ensure that Paddys becomes Phillys cool new suicide bar hotspot. (Oh, Crickets lurking around the bar all episode.) And while its ever in keeping with Sunnys commitment to both darkly comic callousness and the futility of looking for meaningful resolution in the Gangs quickly heating-and-extinguishing passions, Paddys Got A Jumper pushes its conceit a bit too far into irrelevance, ultimately. Again, I think really focusing up on Dennis would-be mathematical approach to understanding and predicting messy humanity would have helped. Theres a window into Dennis own hardening need for control and mastery in the exercise that goes beyond the initial Netflix jokes into some promising dark comedy territory. (The Gang finally realizes thatalgorithmic perfection be damnedGainsborough Gardens sucks.) Sure, it might not have approached the D.E.N.N.I.S. System as far as chillingly hilarious Dennis Reynolds oversized-notepad presentation material goes, but it had that sort of vibe.

In the end, the jumper is at least temporarily safe, the Gangs inaction alowing things to play out as they will. Charlie, coming as close to deconstructing just how horrifying the Gang is when left to figure out the right thing to do, admits, I think this is for the best. We were goin down a road I was not totally comfortable with. Meanwhile, Frank, digging his fingers grotesquely into that melon-hole, reveals that thats where he hides his weed. (Pots pretty much legal now, man, observes Mac.) Oh, and he totally does have sex with it, as he, taking a bong hit, helpfully advises the hungry Cricket, I wouldnt eat it, Cricks. Its full o loads.

Airtight, mathematical conclusion: Funny, a little shaky, full o loads. As Dennis says at the end, Perhaps the science just isnt there yet.

Week in review: How to avoid lateral phishing, what's the right time to red team? - Help Net Security

Every hunter dreams of owning the perfect canine companion.

But too often, the dream becomes a nightmare. It happens when the dog and owner arent a good match. Read on.

The right dog with the right owner can make a great team.

Of course, several factors have a place in the equation. Training, conditioning, and planned practice, weigh in but theres one thing that determines the outcome more than anything else.

The hunter and the dog must be a match and that means just any pup wont work. If the dream is to come true, it is important to consider each breed on more than its potential because before Fido can reach his, hunter and canine must bond, a connection that is easy if personalities are similar.

How about a pointer who is bred for the job of finding birds, holding them for a hunter, and fetching downed birds with a soft mouth.

But individuals from many of the pointing breeds, for the most part, come with a built-in desire to hunt big, that is, to cover a lot of real estate in a hurry. Thats perfect for big, open country, but here in the northeast most bird hunters are hunting smaller fields and heavier brush, so maybe a tighter running dog would be a better fit.

But theres more, so much more.

Each breed has potential while each pup within the breed has its own personality, just like hunters. Heres a quick rundown of todays popular hunting breeds for comparison.

The beagle is about as blue-collar as a dog can be. These little guys are the easiest of all breeds to train and hunt. A pup needs only to be exposed to the fields and briars. In time a beagle pup will get a nose full of rabbit and the rest is history.

But he is a hound and the personality of a hound is all about me. Few hounds are great listeners and in a perfect dog world a hound could do well without any human help. A beagle is driven by his nose and thats about all there is to it. It can be taught to sit, come, and do a trick or two but hell perform cuties only if hes not hunting.

The best part about beagles is that they are always happy. Cuss at them if you wish, yell at them if you want, they dont care.

Retrievers are popular with Ohio hunters. For the most part, retrievers, unlike hounds, are people-oriented. Take a Labrador for instance: a dog that wants to be under control, really wants it.

Walk away from a Lab and hell follow. Stop and hell stop. And more, a Lab will constantly look to the boss for instruction. Easy to train, easy to love and as far as personality, a Lab is like a good kid.

Punish a Lab for a misdeed, paddle it, call it names and hell forgive your indiscretion in minutes, maybe seconds. A lab could only be improved if it could walk on two legs and wear a ball cap backward.

Golden retrievers can be a little more reluctant to accept lessons and are a bit more sensitive. Chesapeake Retrievers are outstanding workers, tough as nails and a bit stubborn.

The spaniel breeds are another story. Great hunters, spaniels are compact and quick. They love the hunt and are easy to train. Spaniels like to please, and they can be taught to check in constantly making them a fun hunting companion. Brittanys are pointers and English are flushers. Both tend to be a bit soft and not quick to forgive ill behavior. That is, spaniels can be emotionally damaged by rough treatment and severe reprimands.

German shorthair pointers are right down the middle when it comes to temperament and personality. Theyll run big if encouraged or stay close if instructed. Shorthairs will tolerate about any human behavior and theyll put birds in the basket as well as any dog bred.

But bred-in personality can be toned and groomed by careful training and social interaction. A growing pup will learn from its environment very quickly and once learned, a dogs behavior and imprinted personality is hard to change.

A trainer who is calm and soft-spoken will most often raise a hunting dog that is relaxed and responsive to voice commands. On the other hand, a pup that is surrounded by loud, harsh, and demanding instruction will react accordingly. That pup will grow to be nervous and anxious to be out of earshot. Think about it.

Cape Town - This year Empire actress Taraji P Henson has been very vocal about her battle with depression and anxiety and now she has shared how she tries to get a handle on it.

Speaking to BET at a Kinder Bueno pop-up in New York recently, the 49-year-old actress opened up about her relationship with fianc Kelvin Hayden, her holiday plans, as well as how she deals with depression.

"When I have moments when I feel the darkness creeping in, that's what I like to call it, I have friends that I can call on that, that'll pull me out of it. Sometimes I'll find it hard to motivate myself to work out. I have a friend I can call that will come make me get up and go work out. I meditate. I am into aroma therapy. Im into sound therapy. So I play Tibetan music singing bowls and that helps a lot," she told the publication.

Although the actress says her friends pull her out of the dark place she sometimes finds herself in, she says having a therapist is also important as friends can be biased.

"You just have to find what works for you. You know, you should absolutely seek a therapist. Your friends are not your therapists. They are very biased, and they have stakes involved in you. So sometimes their opinion can be skewed a bit. So that's why it's important to seek a professional, someone who studies human behavior and the human mind, she said.

Speaking to Variety earlier this year, the actress revealed that she visits her therapist regularly but had to keep changing therapists before finding the right one.

"Going and talking to all these different therapists, thats a craft. Youve got to keep going until you find the right one. Its like a relationship. Ive got to feel comfortable because thats the only way Im going to keep coming back to you. To keep dealing with this ugly stuff, I have to feel totally safe," she explained.

Master of Arts in Human Behavior - National University

Human behavior is what defines pretty everything in our life. Our psychology, our social strategies, everything that we consider fully our choice can be described in terms of human behaviour science. From the one hand human behaviour is one of the most studied things we know we had all the human history to research and experiment. But from the other hand there are still so many unknown, controversial or outright paradoxical things in it that its very tempting to fill one of the blank spaces with personal research.

To write a truly great research paper you have to answer some questions to yourself. First one is: are you more interested in human behaviour when human is alone or in a big group? Group behaviour usually drastically differs from the individual one: psychologists and sociologists even have a separate branch of their subjects to describe it. Individual behaviour is less predictable and much harder to analyze and process, because every human is unique, but studying it is much more rewarding.

The second question is: how much the subject of your research depends on cultural context? The dilemma of nature versus nurture isnt solved yet, but one human traits are universal for everyone of for a certain type of people, but others are highly variable due to the culture and family the person is raised in. It is not an easy question to answers and usually the answer is combination of innate psychological traits and their response to the outer cultural dogmas.

The third question is: is what your studying a healthy trait or a pathologic one? This question differs from one about norm: for example in modern society it is almost normal to develop neurosis and depression as a response to excessive stress, but it is definitely not healthy. Does the subject of your research helps people develop, feel better in long terms and enhance their connection to reality or not?

After answering these questions you are ready to narrowing the broad topic of human behaviour to one subject. Feel free to look through our sample topics to get inspiration!

Humans are part of the biological group known as primates. We sure are an unusual species of primate, though!

Primates include lemurs, lorises, tarsiers, monkeys, and apes a group of species that is well known for being social, smart, and very adept at using their hands. They are also very vocal and communicative with the members of their social group. And they move around in a wide variety of ways, including sometimes on two legs.

Remind you of anyone?

We invite you to enjoy the most unusual primate of all!

Factors that affect human behavior include attitude, perception, genetics, culture, social norms and ethics of a society, religious inclination, coercion and influence by authority. Human behavior is defined as the range of actions and behaviors exhibited by humans at certain stages of development. A society generally expects individuals to have good behavior and shuns wicked tendencies.

Human behavior can either be premeditated by an individual or happen as a result of pressure, coercion and nudges. For example, teenagers and youth are influenced to act, dress, speak and think in certain ways by their role models. In addition, their mentors and peers can positively or negatively affect their behavior. These actions are also dependent on the capabilities and limitations of a person. For example, a person who is physically disabled may not have the predisposition to engage in competitive sports like able-bodied people.

For people to interact safely with others and with the world, they must have the right attitudes and perceptions towards certain phenomena. Another factor that affects human behavior is past experiences. A child may not know the difference between right and wrong, but as he grows up, he learns the effects of his actions and behavior through experience.

Negative aspects that affect human behavior are illogical reasoning, poor memory, lack of attention and poor judgment.
