NATIONAL HARBOR, MARYLAND–"A little rebellion is a good thing," an energetic Rick Perry told a crowd at CPAC this morning. The Texas Governor immediately stressed that our economy is weakened and the road to prosperity lies within conservatism. "It's time for a little rebellion on the battlefront of ideas," he said.
Perry said free-loving Americans should look to the states, where we find the "laboratories of innovation."
He pointed out that in blue states, the government plays an increasingly large load in peoples' daily lives. But then, he said, there is the "red state America," where the freedom of the individual comes first and government is limited. In these states, opportunity and jobs are on the rise, Perry said.
The freedom of power lies within the power of the states — Perry used several examples to argue that red states produce prosperity more effectively than blue states.
He pointed out that Texas has presided over the nation's largest economic boom in a generation while liberal utopias like California and New York are economically hurting.
The future of our nation, Perry said, depends on our states and returning to the founding principles of democracy.

Japanese is one of two language options that Golden Grove High School students are able to study.
Every two years in January, students and teachers travel to Japan for three weeks on our Japanese Study Tour Program. We stay with homestay families from our sister school, Seto Junior High School and then travel as a group to Kyoto and Tokyo. While in Japan, everyone is lucky enough to be able to learn and experience what daily life and school is really like, see many beautiful, famous places and broaden our knowledge of Japanese language and culture first hand.
Our students learn many skills whilst on this trip and make many cherished friendships. The generosity of our Japanese families and friends is always unbelievable and we treasure our memories. We are all very grateful for the wonderful and unique experiences we have been able to enjoy so much over the years. Students and teachers at Golden Grove High School have participated in many successful visits to Japan. As part of our sister school relationship, we send a teacher from our school to Seto for a two week exchange during alternate years. In fact, it was in December 1994/January 1995 that the inaugural group of Golden Grove High School students and teachers travelled to Seto in Okayama, Japan. Many opportunities to practise Japanese / English skills foster international understanding, friendship and peace between Australia and Japan and our school communities have been celebrated.
Understanding and appreciating the importance of Australia's engagement with Asia is a learning priority that is highlighted in the Australian Curriculum. Our connections with Japanese schools enable our students to be active and informed citizens who understand that diversity, social inclusion and cohesion are vital.
"The trip to Japan was a truly amazing experience and one I will never forget. It was a chance to experience what life in Japan is like and make new friends in the process. For me, staying with my host family was the best part, they really made me feel like part of the family and I hope to be able to go back one day." Heather, 2017 Japanese Study Tour
"It was a fun and exciting trip. I enjoyed the beautiful scenery, the delicious cuisine and the wonderful people of Japan. I now have so many special memories that I will carry with me for the rest of my life." Annie, 2017 Japanese Study Tour
"The Japan trip has been my favourite part of schooling so far. It was different and exciting to be away from home for so long. The food was amazing, the culture was different and interesting and the people were incredibly friendly. I miss my host family as I became very attached and felt like one of the family. I hope to travel back to Japan soon and visit them." Kirstyn, 2017 Japanese Study Tour
"The Japan trip was a good experience. The places we visited were amazing. We didn't really know each other well before we went to Japan but now we are like a family! I loved staying with my homestay family and being an exchange student. I also loved experiencing Japanese culture and way of life." Charlie, 2017 Japanese Study Tour
"The Japan trip was a once in a lifetime experience, I would love to go back to Japan in the future. Sightseeing in Japan is so amazing – there is so much to see and explore. Japanese people are the nicest people you will ever meet." Will, 2017 Japanese Study Tour
"The trip to Japan truly was a wonderful experience and one I will remember for the rest of my life. Everything was great – the people, the places, the food. Overall, it was an excellent trip and I really enjoyed it." Zac, 2017 Japanese Study Tour
"I really enjoyed the time I got to spend in Japan, experiencing the culture and daily life. My host family were lovely and they welcomed me into their home happily. I found most of the foods I ate to be delicious and very different to what I'm used to. Overall, a main highlight would have to be either Tokyo Disneyland or attending Seto Junior High School. I'm hoping to visit Japan again one day." Jasmine, 2017 Japanese Study Tour
"Japan overall was beautiful. The food was delicious. My homestay family was generous, caring and very kind. Tokyo was amazing to look at at night because of all the lights. My favourite part was Tokyo Disneyland. I hope to go back to Japan again one day." Victoria, 2017 Japanese Study Tour
"Home life in Japan is fairly different compared to Australia; most students don't get home until at least 6pm and working parents, later still. It's not uncommon not to see a parent at all after leaving for school that day. The trip to Miyajima was AMAZING! We visited a famous shrine and torii gate, as well as met some sacred deer. Given the chance, I would be eager to visit Japan again." Izzy, 2017 Japanese Study Tour

在Tinker诉Des Moines一案中,最高法院解决了戴第一修正案的戴臂章是否受到保护的问题。一些学生选择戴着黑色臂章上学来抗议越南战争。 1968年4月26日,保罗·罗伯特·科恩走进洛杉矶法院。当他沿着走廊走下去时,他的夹克突出地写着"f * ck the draft"引起了警察的注意。科恩被立即逮捕的原因是他违反了加利福尼亚州刑法典415,该法律禁止"恶意和故意扰乱任何社区或个人的和平或安宁"。 。 。通过。 。 。进攻性的行为。"科恩坚持认为夹克的目标是描绘他对越南战争的感受。相隔仅一年,这三个案件都要求最高法院确定政府是否可以禁止其公民焚烧美国国旗。在所有三起案件中,法院认为在抗议期间焚烧美国国旗是象征性的言论,因此受到第一修正案的保护。与他们在科恩的控股相似,法院认为,该行为的"冒犯性"并没有为该州提供禁止它的正当理由。法院认为,学校不能仅仅因为学生在学校的财产上限制学生的讲话。只有在"实质性和实质性地"干扰学校活动时,才能限制言论。臂章是一种象征性的演讲形式,并没有有效地干扰学校的活动。法院裁定学校在没收乐队并将学生送回家时违反了学生的言论自由。美国诉艾希曼与美国诉哈格蒂案一起辩论,是对国会于1989年通过"国旗保护法"的回应。在艾希曼,法院重点关注该法案的具体用语。它允许通过仪式"处置"旗帜而不是通过政治抗议焚烧旗帜。这意味着国家试图仅禁止某些形式的表达内容。最高法院裁定,加利福尼亚不能将言论定为刑事犯罪,因为它是"令人反感的"。国家有兴趣确保言论不会强迫暴力。然而,科恩的夹克是一种象征性的代表,几乎没有起到刺激身体暴力的作用。他走过走廊。科恩诉加利福尼亚州坚持认为,一个国家必须证明象征性的言论是为了煽动暴力才能禁止它。该案件借用了Tinker诉Des Moines案,表明恐惧本身无法提供理由违反某人的第一和第十四修正案的权利。
In Tinker v. Des Moines, the Supreme Court addressed whether wearing armbands in protest was protected under the First Amendment. Several students had chosen to protest the Vietnam War by wearing black armbands to school. On April 26, 1968, Paul Robert Cohen walked into the Los Angeles Courthouse. As he moved down a corridor, his jacket, which prominently read "f*ck the draft" caught the attention of officers. Cohen was promptly arrested on the basis that he'd violated California Penal Code 415, which prohibited, "maliciously and willfully disturb[ing] the peace or quiet of any neighborhood or person . . . by . . . offensive conduct." Cohen maintained that the goal of the jacket was to depict his feelings about the Vietnam War. Only a year apart, all three of these cases asked the Supreme Court to determine whether the government could prohibit their citizens from burning the American flag. In all three cases, the court held that burning the American flag during the course of a protest was symbolic speech and was therefore protected under the First Amendment. Similar to their holding in Cohen, the Court found that the "offensiveness" of the act did not offer the state a legitimate reason to prohibit it. The court held that the school could not restrict the students' speech simply because the students were on the school's property. Speech could only be restricted if it "materially and substantially" interfered with school activities. Armbands were a form of symbolic speech that did not meaningfully interfere with school activities. The court ruled that the school violated the students' freedom of speech when they confiscated the bands and sent the students home. U.S. v. Eichman, argued in conjunction with U.S. v. Haggerty, was a response to Congress' passage of the Flag Protection Act in 1989. In Eichman, the Court focused on the specific language of the act. It allowed for the "disposal" of flags through a ceremony but not the burning of flags through political protest. This meant that the state sought to only prohibit the content of certain forms of expression. The Supreme Court ruled that California could not criminalize speech on the basis that it was "offensive." The state has an interest in ensuring that speech does not compel violence. However, Cohen's jacket was a symbolic representation that did little to inspire physical violence as he walked through the corridor. Cohen v. California upheld the idea that a state must prove that symbolic speech is intended to incite violence in order to prohibit it. The case drew upon Tinker v. Des Moines to show that fear itself cannot provide a reason to violate someone's First and Fourteenth Amendment rights.

How far do these planes have to back taxi after landing. It looks like that 744 is half way past the terminal at touch down.
Where are all the 752s flying to EWR??? I must've missed them.GREAT SHOTS! I am going to try to take a picture of the Saudi royal family's 747sp and another Arab leader's plane (a 742) at KCLE when they come back again.

Research Project
Grant-in-Aid for General Scientific Research (C)
Restriction fragment length polymorphisms (RFLP) of mitochondrial DNA were invstigated using 10 rice varieties including japonica, indica and javanica subspesies. RFLPs of cultivated rice were distinguished using the restriction endonuclease, Xba I and non-radioactive mitochondrial gene probs. When the probes, atp6, coxI and rrn18 were used, the differences between subspecies i.e.japonica and indica were detected. Delation (0.7kb) in indica rice varieties was found when rrn18 probe was hybridized with mitochondrial DNA digested by XbaI.RFLPs of genus Oryzae (13 speciies and 22 lines) were revealed by 8 mitochondrial DNA probes. The relationships between RFLP patterns of the mitochondrial DNA were studied by a cluster analysis of genetic distance based on ratio of shared bands. O.sativa complex was included in one cluster, and indica varieties were closed to O.glaberrima. O.officinalis complex showed a remarkably higher amount of variation. In BB and BBCC genomes, O.punctata (BBCC) and O.minuta (BBCC) were separated. O.punctata (BB) belonged to either BBCC genome species i. e. O.punctata (BBCC) and O.minuta, (BBCC). These result indicated that the BBCC genome species, O.punctata (BBCC) and O.minuta (BBCC) were raised from BB genome of O.punctata. O.officinalis (CC), O.eichingeri (CC), O.latifolia (CCDD) and O.alta (CCDD) were closely related each other. O.australiensis (EE) and O.brachyanth (FF) were far distant from cultivated species of O.sativa.

This post may not be the best for the squeamish, and if these photos gross you out, my apologies in advance!
In August while I was at BlogHer my husband called me and told me that #5 had an abscess in his mouth. When I took him to the dentist when I returned home (of course it happened over the weekend) the dentist took an X-Ray and sent him straight to an Oral Surgeon. The Oral Surgeon took X-Rays and decided that a tooth needed to go in order to curb the infection. So, he pulled tooth number one. Unfortunately a few weeks later, he had another infection which a round of antibiotics cured. And then the infection came back again. At this point we knew we hadn't gotten to the "root" of the problem and the Oral Surgeon performed oral surgery number 2. He opened up his gums around the infection site. This surgery revealed that the infection was in the other tooth. The other tooth couldn't be saved so tooth number 2 had to be pulled as well.
It's been a long, frustrating and sad roller coaster ride. No 5 year old should have to have 3 oral surgeries over the course of 3 months. Even if he was a complete trooper with a ready smile and sunny attitude.
In the end we found out that the reason he had an abscess is because his nerve was hit during a routine filling and it killed the tooth, unbeknownst to us. When he complained about his tooth hurting FOR MONTHS, I took him back to the dentist and they said he was "teething", that his 6 year molars were coming in. I told #5 to stop being a whiner. Months later the infection came to a head and this string of dentist after dentist appointments and surgery after surgery began, and this mama feels so badly.
I found out that #5 was not being a whiner and he'd been in pain with an infection for months, and ALL as a RESULT of a filling gone wrong.
This mama is having a hard time NOT being angry, but at the same time, she's just so happy that the infection is gone.
I have so much to be Thankful for, and right now I'm so very thankful that my "baby" is healthy, and I have a warm home and a big family full of love and lots of good food to eat.
What are you thankful for?
Wordful Wednesday is like Wordless Wednesday, only WITH words. It's for those of us that can't contain the chatter, but in a good way.
*Don't forget to share what you are THANKFUL for with us! Please use the second linky for your submission. There's a reward in it for you, too! Three lucky linkers who keep with the theme AND link back to Wordful Wednesday (we know everyone links up to a ton of different meme's and we're totally cool with that, but if we're gonna give us a prize, we just need you to share our Wordful Wednesday link on your site) will be gifted with 25 free holiday cards from Shutterfly!

How to Stop Receiving Unwanted Mail
Are you trying to live a more edited life, but your mailbox teems with catalogs, serving as daily reminders of your former excessive ways? Do you receive multiple "Important Information Enclosed" envelopes a day–ones that never contain important information? Does your recycling bin teem with unopened junk mail? Do you want to get rid of it? Then a service called Catalog Choice may be for you.
The service provides 4 ways of combating junk mail:
- A free general membership allows users simply create an account and search for companies to opt-out of unwanted catalogs, coupons, credit card offers, donation requests, and other junk mail. You can also enter their zip code to get delisted from phone books. Catalog Choice then acts on users' behalf to get their opt-outs processed by the senders.
- For $20/year they protect your name from being sold by data brokers–the guys who buy and sell your address to direct mail marketers.
- For $6.75, you can buy one of their self-addressed envelopes which handles up to 15 places to be unsubscribed from.
- MailStop™ Mobile is their free download in the iTunes store that allows customers to use their mobile devices to take pictures of unwanted mail. Once uploaded, Catalog Choice will process and manage the opt-out requests.
While it might seem easier to just toss the stuff, these daily paper assaults create clutter and confusion in our homes, not to mention a significant amount of waste. By shelling out $30/year or so on Catalog Choice and switching all of your bills to paperless, you can probably achieve a mailbox that stays empty for weeks.

Dear Colleagues,
I watched (bemused) yesterday as a car reverse parked itself and considered the possibilities with the rapidly growing field of intelligent transport engineering. My brother-in-law grunted his dubious assent about the growth of the transport field as he had been involved in development of software for smart cards for transportation but the massively fragmented nature of the industry caused him considerably more pain than profit (he has since moved into the more lucrative and simpler field of mining software).
Everyone has heard of the Google 'self driving' car and the market is predicted to grow to almost $25bn in 2017 for intelligent transportation technologies. At present my personal'state of the art' transport engineering is restricted to cruise control (esp. to keep my driving under speed limits). But this situation is going to change rapidly.
A million deaths per year
To my mind one of the true tragedies of today's world is the horrendous death toll caused by car accidents. Over a million people are killed per year in traffic accidents (especially in poorer countries which can't afford this huge cost). Intelligent transport engineering promises to dramatically reduce this death toll.
Three Key Factors
There are three factors driving intelligent transportation. The most important would obviously be safety – reducing even a fraction of a million deaths pa would be a godsend.
The second is reducing congestion of traffic and helping you to identify the best possible path from point A to point B in terms of speed and convenience; whilst also (the difficult one) optimising the overall traffic flow (for the other drivers on the road).
The third factor would be the standard one of improving energy efficiency and reducing emissions.
Skills required are wide ranging
The skills and know-how required in this field encompass such traditional areas as electrical, mechanical and civil engineering. As well as communications, sensors, systems, IT and industrial automation and the softer fields such as ergonomics, economics and psychology. This has resulted in a very fragmented approach with individuals working on small aspects of the overall transport problem. There are few examples of project managers working on the entire problem. As a result of these scattered contributions from numerous experts; there is a need for collaborative as well as communication skills to make the teams effective.
A Tremendous Career Opportunity
The next few years will thus see extraordinary growth in intelligent transport systems and also create a deluge of career opportunities whether you are an engineer, technologist or technician working in the area. Or most importantly – an entrepreneur seeking to create a new solution for intelligent transport systems.
Thanks to John Platt of the IEEE for a great article.
Remember with your career as Colin Powell says: Perpetual optimism is a force multiplier.
Yours in engineering learning,

Celebrities Who've Bravely Battled Breast Cancer
October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month and we're highlighting a few celebrities who have bravely battled breast cancer -- and won.
1. Sheryl Crow. The 52-year-old was diagnosed with breast cancer in February 2006 and has become a huge activist for activist for early detection. ET spoke with her doctor, Dr. Kristi Funk, who explained just what could have happened to the singer if she didn't get diagnosed when she did. "The truth is, a mammogram saved her life," Funk revealed. "She's very vocal about that. She is the poster child for early detection."
NEWS: Angelina Jolie's Surgeon: I'm Honored She Chose Me
2. Christina Applegate. The actress was just 36 years old when she had the double mastectomy that saved her life. Six years after her surgery, she says having a daily reminder of what she's gone through isn't easy. "I still sometimes lose my mind six years later," she told ET's Brooke Anderson. "You have a daily reminder of everything that you've gone through."
3. Joan Lunden. The former Good Morning America anchor was diagnosed with triple-negative breast cancer this past June and recently shed her wig for the cover of People magazine. "I could decide to do nothing, but that's certainly not my personality," the 64-year-old told the magazine. "I was handed an opportunity to learn everything that I can about this and try to help others."
NEWS: Joan Lunden Removes Wig, Shares Battle with Breast Cancer
4. Jane Fonda. The beautiful actress was diagnosed with a noninvasive cancer after having a lump removed in 2010. "I've just joined a family of millions of women who have gone through this," the 76-year-old told Oprah in 2013. "I thought what a journey this is going to be. You know, maybe I'll make it and maybe I won't. I didn't get scared. I hope I don't die. But I'm not scared of dying."
NEWS: 5 Things We Love About Jane Fonda
5. Cynthia Nixon. The Sex and the City star was diagnosed in 2000 at just 40 years old. While she didn't go public with her diagnosis at the time, she has since joined Susan G. Komen for the Cure in hopes of helping to educate women around the world about breast cancer.
6. Suzanne Somers. The 68-year-old could not believe her diagnosis because she didn't consider herself at risk. "When I was diagnosed with cancer, I was shocked," she told Everyday Health in 2011. "I never smoked. I never drank to excess. I ate right. And I didn't abuse pharmaceuticals. I had done the work!"
7. Guiliana Rancic. The host revealed that she had been diagnosed with early-stage breast cancer in 2011. She found out she had disease after a routine mammogram before receiving another round of IVF treatment for fertility.

Scales are used to measure your powder, shot, and bullets to ensure that you are building safe and optimal ammunition. While many reloading press kits come with scales, they can be hard to understand and often are not very sensitive or inaccurate. Because of the importance of precision in the reloading process, it is imperative that you have a reliable scale when you're reloading.
The best reloading scale for the money is different for each reloader. For some people, a digital scale makes the most sense; for others, a simple balance is better. The best for you is the one that:
– Is intuitive and easy for you to use and understand
– Is highly sensitive and accurate
– Remains accurate for long time periods
– Remains sensitive in varying environments (such as different altitudes, temperatures, etc.)
Another factor is dependent upon your reloading intentions. Do you plan on making hundreds of bullets in one go? Do you need a digital scale that doesn't need to be connected to electricity? A smaller scale? A larger scale? There are great options for any of your goals, no matter your skill level. And with technology being the way that it is, you can buy incredibly sensitive and highly accurate scales for not much money. With that being said, we've found two scales that we think fit the most important criteria for reloaders.
The American Weigh Digital Scale
- AMERICAN WEIGH SCALES Series Digital Pocket Weight Scale 100g x 0.01g, (Black), AWS-100-Black
- Price: $18.99
- Price as of 09/23/2023 21:41 PDT(more info about ad)
It scores high on reliability, longevity, and accuracy after calibration. If you don't have a 100 gram weight to calibrate this scale with, you can use 20 new US nickels instead – each coin weighs 5 grams.
The Frankford Arsenal Reloading Scale
- Frankford Arsenal mens Arsenal DS-750 Digital Reloading Scale with LCD Display for Reloading, Original Version
- Price: $29.39
- Price as of 09/23/2023 21:41 PDT(more info about ad)
The strength of digital scales is in their calibration. You can calibrate the scales to various weights with the push of a button. Use this ability generously with any scale that you buy to ensure the greatest accuracy, and your reloaded bullets will remain consistent.
Well, we hope with this article you've found the best digital reloading scale for the money. Remember, though, that scales are only a small part of the entire reloading process. For more information on presses and other components, just swing on by our homepage and take a gander. Take care.

There was a Pro-Test for Science rally on the UCLA Campus today. The goal of the rally was to spread awareness about the utility of animal-research and to help combat extremists and prove to the community and world that the ethical use of animals for biomedical research is absolutely vital to the progress and success of advancements in science.
Many of the treatments that we discuss on this site are available because of extensive research with animals. In fact, many scientific discoveries have been possible largely because animal research is an available tool for researchers. Immunizations, medical treatments for Parkinson's, Alzheimer's, and diabetes treatments have all been advanced greatly through the use of biomedical research with animals. Of course, great care is always taken to ensure humane treatment of the animals used. Animals prove a vital part of advancements in medicine, genetics and other research.
Biomedical scientists endure many trials in order to become experts in the type of research techniques we're talking about here, including extensive schooling, years of training and of course many thousands of hours spent in a lab, all for the benefit of humanity. They should not have to additionally endure the harassment of extremists and fear for their safety and the safety of their loved ones who often are caught in the middle.
Debate is healthy; discussion is good. But the harassment and terrorizing of researchers must stop if we're to consider ourselves an open, educated, society. All biomedical researchers want is to better society by finding cures for the many things that plague our world today, so what everyone should really be doing is thanking them.

Join as a Research Community
The researcher at the centre
OpenMinTeD builds an online platform where researchers can find:
- Text mining tools and services from around the world
- Openly available text and data sources, ready to be mined
Whether you're a biochemist, a historian, a physicist or something completely different, OpenMinTeD would like to help you in finding the relevant text and data mining techniques, as well as the relevant data to mine. We want our platform to be there for all research disciplines.
In order to build a platform where researchers' from all research communities find what they need, we invite research communities to join OpenMinTeD.
We are interested to hear about:
- Your requirements with regard to TDM practices. What tools, resources and standards are used in your research community?
- The prototype applications in your research community. Which applications would you like to be included in the OpenMinTeD platform?
- Your opinion on different applications. How can they be improved in relation to OpenMinTeD?
Interested to join OpenMinTeD with your research community? Please leave your contact information here and we will get back to you!
Research communities and applications already involved
Research communities in life sciences, agriculture & biodiversity, social sciences and research analytics are already working with OpenMinTeD on making the platform fit their needs. Have a look at the applications and uses cases below for an impression:
Life sciences
Extract metabolites and their properties and modes of action
When scientists need information about the structure, name or properties of small molecules, they often turn to a high quality database called ChEBI. This database is largely curated manually and this process takes a lot of time. OpenMinTeD is working on a textmining application that can help to speed up the process, while maintaining the quality of the database. More information is available in the blogpost Text mining for the discovery of small molecules. Involded partners: University of Manchester and EMBL-EBI.
Text mining for curation of neuroscience literature
To understand how the nervous system works, researchers develop mathematical models based on all the knowledge that is available. To improve these models, it is important to include the new facts and parameters that are published in scientific journals. OpenMinTeD works towards text mining applications that automate the curation of neuroscience literature for this purpose. As part of this work, a Framework for Collaborative Curation of Neuroscientific Literature was produced. Involved partners: University of Manchester and EPFL
Text mining on articles related to Health State Modelling in Chronic Liver Diseases
It is important that patients receive the right intervention at the right time. In this case 'at the right time' means that treatment has to be adjusted in line with the health state of the patient. OpenMinTeD wants to find out if it is possible to use text and data mining on data repositories with scientific articles, to define different health states. For the proof-of-concept, we focus on Chronic Liver Diseases. Involved partner: Frontiers
Agriculture and biodiversity
Text mining over bibliographic data: AGRIS & CORE
The viticulture community deals with the study and production of grapes. Text mining can improve viticulture practice, by feeding it with information from bibliographic data sources (AGRIS and CORE). OpenMinTeD works on an application, that deals with the extraction of structured information out of these bibliographic data sources. More information is available in the blogposts Text mining in the vineyard and OpenMinTeD partner presents VITIS pilot application. Involved partner: Agroknow
Text mining over RSS feeds: food safety and water health
RSS feeds contain useful information, for example on geolocations of foodborne illness outbreaks, food recalls, water pathogens and water quality. In the context of the OpenMinTeD project, an application will be developed that text mines unstructured RSS feeds and shows relevant information per selected country or region. Involved partner: Agroknow
Microbial biodiversity
Genomics information is often 'hidden' in various scientific papers and free-text fields of databases. The microbial biodiversity text mining application allows researchers to find and select relevant genomics information and discover new knowledge. It uses a combination of natural language processing and machine learning methods and focuses on food microbiology. Read more in the blogpost What microorganisms live in my cheese? and the infogaphic Text and data mining for better microbiology Involved partner: INRA
Linking wheat data with literature
In order to feed the growing world population, it is ever more important to understand crop traits like disease resistance or grain number. These traits have a basis at the molecular level. Findings about related genes and molecular markers are published in scientific papers and in certain databases. The application 'Linking Wheat Data With Literature' processes and identifies this information and feeds a database with links between 'external' texts and information in the database. Involved partner: INRA
Extracting gene regulation networks involved in seed development (SeeDev)
For breeding and production of crops, it is important to understand how seeds develop. The SeeDev TDM application harvests scientific papers on this topic, turns them into mineable text and helps to select the relevant information. Because biological mechanisms are very complex, many different types of information have to be included. Involved partner: INRA
Social sciences
Facilitation of complex information linking and retrieval from social sciences publications
In the social sciences, we know that a useful application for text mining is improving literature search and information interlinking. As part of the OpenMinTeD project, we first held a questionnaire to get a more specific understanding of the TDM needs in the social sciences community. Based on that, we decided to focus on three things: named entity recognition and linking; variable mention detection and linking; keyword assignment. Explanations are available in the blogpost: Text mining for social sciences – tackling the challenges to make search systems smarter. Involved partners: GESIS, UKP-TUDA
Research analytics
Research analytics – funding mining services
This application provides useful information on how research is done in the EU and can help funders and institutions to make informed decisions. The application mines fulltext publications and looks for linked information, for example on the relation between topics and funders or where authors are based. With topic modeling you can find out if a topic is trendy and what the top most related publications are. The application was developed by OpenAire, and will be made interoperable with the OpenMinTeD platform. Involved partner: ARC
Research publications recommendation system
Imagine that you are doing research on a certain topic, and that you get automatic recommendations on for example related papers that you had not thought of or found yourself. It could really improve the quality or speed of your research. This is exactly what this application is about. It offers content-based recommendations to scholarly materials, and relies on metadata, full text features and other features from the article full texts or external sources, like citations, readership or publication year. Involved partner: Open University
Research Performance
Text and data mining can also be used to track research performance of papers, individuals or organization. This application obtains information from full text articles and metadata, on for example citations, downloads or altmetrics. The results are delivered in the form of a dashboard, that shows graphs and allows benchmarking, comparison and trend analysis with regards to content and performance. Involved partner: Open University
Text mining of articles related to Leica Microscopes
There's a lot of discussion about the impact of research, research institutes and the evaluation of individual researchers. But what about the impact of tools and equipment, for example of a microscope? This use case explores if text and data mining of scientific articles can be used to measure the research impact of a Leica microscope. Involved partner: Frontiers
Rock art mining
This use case explores how you can use text mining to speed up rock art research (e.g. on ancient cave paintings). The objective is to identify potentially interesting articles and to extract information like sites, coordinates, dates and dating methods. The annotated texts and metadata will then be stored and made available. We use CORE as a bibliographic source. Involved partner: Frontiers.

Rihanna's Diet And Exercise Regime Revealed
15 February 2012, 15:49 | Updated: 16 February 2012, 11:21
Fitness trainer speaks about the 'Talk That Talk' star's efforts to stay in shape.
Rihanna works out at least three times a week and eats five small meals a day, her fitness trainer has revealed.
Details of the 'Talk That Talk' star's diet have been released just days after the singer showcased her slimline figure at the Grammy Awards in Los Angeles.
Harley Pasternak, creator of the 5 Factor program, has been working on helping Rihanna "fine tune" her body in recent weeks.
He said the singer likes to train three times a week when touring and spends around 25 minutes on each session, but when in one location she increases her workouts to five a week.
"She's been really focused and stepped it up," Harley said.
Rihanna's cardio regime includes running, skipping and jumping jacks, which she does in her hotel or dressing rooms.
Harley also told People that if Rihanna gets hungry after eating her five small meals a day she often snacks on bean based chips to satisfy her "salty cravings".
Rihanna is among the stars set to attend the BRIT Awards in London next week.

The Ukraine military finally swung into action and took over a military airbase in eastern Ukraine near Kramatorsk. RT chose to emphasize a statement by the general leading the operation:
A Ukrainian general leading the operation against protesters in the east of the country has warned that activists who refuse to lay down their arms will be 'destroyed.'
'They must be warned that if they do not lay down their arms, they will be destroyed,' General Vasily Krutov, first deputy head of the Ukrainian Security Service (SBU) told reporters, as cited by AFP.
While NYT preferred a more traditional gung ho "storming" lead:
The Ukrainian military stormed an airport 25 miles north of this city on Tuesday, beginning what the president called a military operation to confront pro-Russian militants in the eastern part of the country.
RT: "protesters," "activists"
NYT: "pro-Russian militants"
Both publications also reported on a confrontation between Krutov and a crowd at the base:
At length the commander of the Ukranian operation, Gen. Vasily Krutov, approached the crowd of about 500 gathered behind a barbed wire fence to urge the militants to disperse, to little or no effect. As he was walking away he was roughed up, people in the crowd said, shoved hard enough that his hat fell off.
The situation, described by local reporters as a 'mob scene,' persisted throughout the afternoon …
On Tuesday evening, Krutov, who personally supervised the operation in Kramatorsk, appeared before local residents gathered on the airfield. According to RIA Novosti, the SBU [Ukrainian Security Service] official attempted to explain to them that the military had arrived at the site to protect them from 'terrorists.' However, the crowd responded shouting they were 'peaceful citizens.' The activists then pushed Krutov several times, but were stopped by special forces troops who fired warning shots into the air.
NYT: It's a "mob scene," and Krutov simply wants "militants" to disperse, but is "roughed up" and victimized, shoved so hard "his hat fell off." The reporter reports all of this second-hand, he apparently wasn't there.
RT: Tells what the crowd said, that they are "peaceful citizens" and not "terrorists." Apparently a first-hand account.
According to activists, four people were killed and two others injured on Tuesday as troops seized an airfield in the city of Kramatorsk, which had earlier been controlled by protesters.
Russian news media, citing members of the armed opposition to Kiev, reported that several members of a pro-Russian militia had been injured at the airfield in firefights with the Ukrainian military. Later, Russian news media reported four fatalities in the vicinity of the airport.
RT: Straightforward: says four people were killed and two injured, "according to activists."
NYT: Buries the lead (four people allegedly killed), and apparently the reporter decided not to ask at the scene about deaths and injuries. Instead he chose to watch or read the Russian news media (that most NYT readers, he knows, will consider unreliable), which cited "members of the armed opposition to Kiev."

It's been more than two years since Disney (NYSE:DIS) started opening its most popular park 75 minutes early for guests willing to pay a premium to get a leg up on other day guests, and now the theme park giant is raising the event's cover charge. Disney Early Morning Magic will bump its price to $79 come December, a 14% increase from its debut price in the springtime of 2016.
Disney Early Morning Magic finds Disney World opening the Magic Kingdom on select mornings at 7:45 a.m. to guests who can enjoy a few Fantasyland rides. When the park officially opens at 9 a.m., they can head over to a counter-service restaurant for a complimentary breakfast. Disney is increasing the price of the event, but it is adding a few new nearby attractions to enhance the value proposition. The move makes sense, and Disney shareholders won't be upset to see Disney expanding capacity for an event while also boosting its rates.

Planetary day and hour tomorrow
Planetary days and hours are important in the practice of astromagy. The correspondence of days and hours to planets is based on the ancient Chaldean astrological system of the order of the planets. Here is the sequence: Saturn, Jupiter, Mars, Sun, Venus, Mercury, Moon.
In the magic day 24 planetary hours: 12 day and 12 night. The magic days begin with the moment of astronomical sunrise in the given place. The first planetary hour of each day begins at dawn, and the first planetary hour of the night is from the sunset. During the year, the duration of one planetary hour varies cyclically in both the large and the smaller directions. But, the principle of controlling the planetary clock always remains the same.
Note that the planetary rulers are 7, and hours 12, also that the clocks of some planets are repeated during the day (or night). Also note that the first day of the day (from sunrise) is always the hour of the planet-ruler of the day. For example, on Monday the first day of the hour will always be the hour of the moon, on Tuesday - always Mars, etc.
On Sundays, the first magic day of the day is dedicated to the Sun; on Monday - the Moon; Tuesday - Mars, etc. In other words, the first day of the day is always dedicated to the planet of the day itself. Next, the clocks follow in their correspondences to the normal cyclic order of the planetary spheres. So, on Sunday the second day's time belongs to Venus, the third to Mercury, the fourth to Luna, the fifth to Saturn, the sixth to Jupiter, the seventh to Mars, the eighth to Sun, the ninth to Venus, the tenth to Mercury, the eleventh to Moon, - Saturn; the first night - to Jupiter, the eighth night - to him, the tenth night - to the Sun, the twelfth night - to Mercury, and the first daytime of Monday - to the Moon, as it was predetermined.

Hour ♂ Mars
This hour is unfortunate for most purposes, and especially for travel and travel. He is favorable for dealing with physicians, surgeons, dentists, chemists, engineers, military and other people controlled by Mars, as well as for work related to fire and metals, but in the latter, the danger can be hidden if Mars is damaged.

I find that pretty much every hotel I stay in now has a note in the bathroom saying that the hotel believes strongly in sustainability and therefore have decided not to change the towels every day in an attempt to save water. The deal is that if you leave the towel on the floor it will be replaced but if not it won't. Easy right?
Problem is I wonder whether the hotels tell their cleaning staff about this program. Whenever I stay at hotels I always put my towel back on the rack so I can reuse it the next day. Pretty much every time they still replace my towel with a nice new one.
What is the use of printing out stickers to tell guests about your sustainability policies it if you aren't actually going to follow them yourself?
Next time you are in a hotel, and they change your towels, call them on it.

Lenses and Patterns for Motivational Game Design
Competitive play is a form of multiplayer gameplay, that could potentially lead to fostering a sense of relatedness. By playing against others and improving our skills we gain a sense of competence. However, unlike in single player games this improvement can be attributed to the other players in the game. By seeing other players as helping us to become better, we begin to form meaningful connections with them. This positive form of competitive play is referred to as constructive competition.
Borderlands 2 is a cooperative FPS RPG. Players can play online with people or play locally. For the most part, gameplay consists of players working together to progress through the game. However, there is a feature in the game that allows players to duel each other. When this happens, both participants in the duel can begin attacking one another until one of the emerges victorious. Once a winner is declared, the game becomes fully cooperative again. Duels can be used by players as a way to try out new abilities, kill some time, or as a way to improve each others skills to make progressing through the game easier.
The dark side of competitive play is referred to as Destructive Competition. Within this realm of competitive play, the player's relatedness need satisfaction is actually thwarted instead of satisfied. Opponents and teammates will attempt to tear the player down, taunt the player, cheat to gain advantage, and play the game in mean-spirited fashion. Control of player action thwarts autonomy need satisfaction, so simply trying to lock down the players in attempt to stop destructive competition will only hurt your design. Destructive competition is simply something to keep in mind when designing a game, as wherever possible limiting the ability for players to hurt other player's relatedness, and in turn supporting constructive competition will only serve to improve the overall design and player reaction to your game.
The lens is industry standard.

[ETUG 25] Flashback Friday – 2007 + 2008
As ETUG celebrates 25 years, we are taking the opportunity every Friday to dig into our archives and celebrate our 25-year history. Today's Flashback Friday continues back in time to the late 2000s.
It's 2007!
Workshop Location and Themes
In Spring 2007, the ETUG Workshop was hosted at Thompson Rivers University. The theme for the workshop was "Running the Rivers". It was keynoted by Geoff Plant, Q.C., Special Advisor, "Campus 2020", who articulated a vision at that time for the campus of the future. Also at this workshop, we awarded the first group of SCETUG Members Emeritus honoring Jim Bizzocchi, John Blackwell, Irwin DeVries, Amanda Harby, and Cathy van Soest for their early work and long term dedication and service to the ETUG Community.
The Chair at this time was Gina Bennett, College of the Rockies and the Vice-Chair was Bryan Fair, BCIT.
2007 Innovation Awards were given to the following individuals :
- Leadership Award: SCoPE- SFU's Community of Practice for Educators"; Elizabeth Wallace and Sylvia Currie, SFU
- Judges' Award: "AskAway: B.C.'s Virtual Reference Project"; Michelle Pye, VPL and Trish Roseel, SFU
- Support & Service Award: Accessibility Team, Faculty of Education, UBC; Natasha Boskic, UBC
Particularly memorable was the ensemble workshop session led by Paul Stacey, Dan O'Reilly and Sandy Hirtz on "Should You Get a Second Life?" and a guitar rendition by Mike Minions when he presented "MashUps and ReMixes: Borrowing in the Age of Digital Media". Browse through the many wonderful photos captured at the Spring 2007 Workshop here
In Fall 2007, the ETUG Workshop was hosted at the BCIT Downtown campus again with the theme of "Web 2.0 – Educational Whats, Whys and Hows". Steve Dotto keynoted with a technology update in the morning and John Maxwell shared his ideas around developing communities of inquiry with wikis at the Canadian Centre for Publishing, SFU. These keynotes were followed by short ETUG institutional updates, reporting on activities of interest to members on campuses around the province. In the afternoon, participants took part in "Birds of a Feather" roundtable conversations on the following ed tech topics of the day: blogs/vlogs/wikis; collaborative content; Facebook & social networking sites; mobile content/cell/text messaging; Open source content; podcasting; safety in the Web 2.0 world; shared service model for Web 2.0 services; Second Life and educational applications; student contributed content/mashups.
It's 2008!
Workshop Location and Themes
The SCETUG Chair at this time was Bryan Fair, BCIT and Vice-Chair was Michelle Lamberson, UBC.
In Spring 2008, the ETUG Workshop was hosted on May 29 and 30th at Emily Carr on Granville Island. The theme for the workshop was "Creativity" with a program that focussed on making, remixing and mashups. The keynotes were Liane Gabora, UBC Okanagan who spoke about "The Creative Process" and Steve DiPaola, SFU facilitated a session on "Modeling Human Creativity".
Throughout the Spring 2008 workshop, Brian Lamb of UBC, led activities to encourage us to try hands-on making and remixing. Sessions at the workshop included Digital Storytelling, Grassroots video and "Open Source Content: Cultivating a culture of sharing our creativity".
We had our first-ever graffiti wall, Wordle-inspired nametags and a closing plenary by Michelle Kearns, BCIT finishing all with a flourish of mocktails (complete with tiny paper umbrellas) and fruit kabobs. See photos by Michelle Lamberson.
A second group of SCETUG Members Emeritus was honoured: Jacqueline Bradshaw, Langara; Bob Clark, TRU and Patrick 0'Brien, UFV.
The Fall 2008 Workshop hosted at the Vancouver Island University. The theme was "Learning on the Edge: Exploring our Boundaries" and some workshop topics were: FOIPOP and working internationally: see this Slideshare. One very popular session was one called the "Ed tech utility belt" facilitated by Grant Potter. Also memorable was the ETUG Pub night which involved everyone taking a short boat trip over to the Dinghy Dock Pub! Lastly, the 2008 Innovation Awards were awarded to Geoffrey Glass, Cindy Xin and Andrew Feenburg, SFU for their project Marginalia Annotation Tool which is still going strong today.

Bobby Nalzaro, columnist of the Sun.Star, the first Filipino community newspaper to go online, has recently returned from his "sabbatical".
Approximately a month ago, the Sun Star board of directors suspended Nalzaro and discontinued his 15-year-old column because he wrote critically about the suspended governor of the Philippine province of Cebu. Gov. Gwendolyn Garcia was suspended by the Office of the President for "grave misconduct and abuse of authority" in December 2012. It just so happens that the top management and board members of the Sun Star are Garcia's family members. How coincidental!
In his most current column, Nalzaro reiterates his respect for the decision of Sun Star management, yet he resonates with the late legendary writer H.L Mecken's saying: "Freedom of press is limited to those who own one". More importantly, Nalzaro leaves the question up to the public to judge whether there was there a violation of the freedom of the press. Nalzaro confidently assures his readers of his authenticity and promises that he will not succumb to the coercion of media owners, editors, advertisers or the government.
This is just plain and simple evidence that so-called-freedom is indefinitely susceptible to the pressures of those in control. Media owners grant the privilege to the journalist or broadcaster and thus, any conflict in this dominant-submissive relationship will never equate to a fair fight.
