The present invention is directed generally to optical character recognition, and more particularly, to automated methods and apparatus for reducing recognition errors, especially those resulting from an inability to distinguish between upper and lower case characters, or other characters of similar shape but dissimilar size or position.
Programmable computers and digital processing apparatus have proven useful for optical character recognition in which visual character indicia, such as printed text, are scanned, identified and assigned a character code value that can be stored electronically. A word processing "document" is one example of a data file containing character code values which a computer is able to interpret and reproduce in human-readable form on a CRT or as a printed document. There are many character code conventions in use today, the most common being the ASCII (American Standard Code for Information Interchange) code system.
Many existing optical character recognition systems make recognition errors between characters that are very similar in shape but are of different size or located at different positions. Upper and lowercase characters (S/s) and apostrophes and commas ('/,), for example, are prone to such errors. No matter how similar the shapes, their size or position is usually so different that this kind of error must be avoided.
Although some optical character recognition systems utilize information on size and position for discrimination, they still suffer from recognition errors, particularly when encountering the many kinds of electronic fonts currently in use. Thus, it would be desirable to provide a system that utilizes size and position information in a fashion that enhances the speed and recognition rate of optical character recognition.
In accordance with the foregoing objectives, an automated optical character recognition method of novel design is provided for use in conjunction with a programmable digital processing device. The method inputs a sequence of values representing one or more characters in an array of characters to be optically recognized. The input values define one or more dimensional characteristics of the characters. From the input values, a standard dimensional value is determined from a frequency distribution of a selected one of the character dimensional characteristics. For each of the input characters, a set of normalized values is determined from the standard dimensional value. The normalized values correspond to the one or more character dimensional characteristics. Optical character recognition is thereafter performed using the normalized values.
The objects, advantages and features of the present invention will be more clearly understood by reference to the following detailed disclosure and the accompanying drawing in which:
FIG. 1 is a block diagram of an automated optical character recognition system constructed in accordance with the present invention;
FIG. 2 is a an illustration of a line of printed text to be recognized;
FIG. 3 illustrates the size parameters measured on a text line;
FIGS. 4A and 4B is a flow diagram showing an automated optical character recognition method performed in accordance with the present invention; and
FIG. 5 is a frequency distribution graph showing quantized character height versus the frequency of the quantized height.
Referring now to FIG. 1, optical character recognition in accordance with the present invention may be performed by the illustrated data processing apparatus, which includes a programmable computer 10 having a keyboard (not shown), a data storage resource 20, a display monitor 30 and an optical scanning device 40. These components are conventionally known and may include a wide variety of component types and system arrangements. The data processing apparatus is controlled by an OCR software system 50 which is resident during program operation in random access memory within the programmable computer. When the software system 50 is not operational, it is maintained within the data storage resource 20, which may be considered to generically represent one or more of a variety of data storage devices including floppy magnetic disks, optical disks, magnetic tapes, portable hard disks, and other apparatus.
As described in more detail below, the software system 50 includes an executable instruction set for controlling the data processing apparatus for automatic recognition of characters formed as an array of characters on a sheet of printed text representing an input document 60. FIGS. 2 and 3 illustrate one line 70 of printed text which might appear in the input document 60 and require character recognition.
FIGS. 4A and 4B illustrate the steps to be performed in the optical character recognition method of the present invention. The method enhances the speed and recognition rate required for optically recognizing the characters in a line of text by dynamically normalizing such attributes as character height, character width and character position relative to a baseline reference using a standard attribute determined from the characters themselves. Step 80 of the method begins with a bit map file as input. The bit map file may exist in the data storage resource 20 or may be generated by and input directly from the optical scanning device 40. The optical scanning device 40 can be selected from several commercially available products capable of producing a bi-level (binary) image or "bit map" at a continuity that preserves visual quality when the image is displayed on a screen or reprinted on paper. The binary image or bit map is stored in the computer's random access memory, and/or the data storage resource 30, and defines a two dimensional array of 0's and 1's representing white and black, respectively. The 0's and 1's are in one to one correspondence with the cells of a grid that can be imagined to overlay the printed page. Because automatic methods for the interpretation of text are less discriminating than human recognition processes, the number of cells per unit area has to be greater than, for example, the resolution used in facsimile transmission of documents, which typically does not exceed 200 cells per inch. Resolutions of 300 samples per inch are suitable, however, and character recognition is not significantly improved with higher resolutions.
In step 90 of FIG. 4A , the OCR software system 50 operates on the input bit map data structure by segmenting the bit map array into single horizontal text lines for processing one line of characters at a time. Each line is processed as a sequence of binary input values representing one or more characters extracted from the array of characters resident on the input document 60 as a whole. The binary input values, being part of a two-dimensional array definition of the input characters, necessarily define one or more dimensional characteristics of the characters, such as character height, character width and character position relative to a baseline reference.
The baseline reference is calculated after text line segmentation in step 100 of FIG. 4A as a theoretical line passing through the bottom of a predetermined percentage of the characters. FIG. 3 illustrates a baseline reference 102 that has been estimated by the OCR software system 50. There are various known methods which may be utilized to calculate such a baseline and any one method could be utilized in conjunction with the present invention. Once the baseline information is obtained, character position (CP) (starting from the bottom of the characters) can be determined relative to the baseline as a character attribute in addition to character height and width. The nature of these dimensional characteristics is graphically illustrated in FIGS. 2 and 3. FIG. 2 illustrates the single line of text 70 reading "Speed and Recognition Enhancement Using Normalized Height/Width Position." FIG. 3 is a partially enlarged view of the text line 70 of FIG. 2. It illustrates the baseline reference 102, an uppercase height attribute (Hu) 104, a lowercase height attribute (Hl) 106 and a width attribute (W) 108.
In step 110 of FIG. 4A, the maximum character height, character width and character position relative to the baseline reference is calculated for each character of the input character line. The next step is to normalize these attribute values so that meaningful recognition comparisons can be made relative to a reference library database. Normalization is performed using a "standard" attribute such as character height. Standard height may be thought of as an estimate of the height of typical upper case characters. This estimation is based on the "mode" in a statistical sense, which is used in preference to the highest value or an average value of the text because the heights of ordinary upper case, numeric, and some lower case characters (such as "b","d" and "h") have a small variation and are fairly stable. It is preferable not to use a highest value because characters such as "/", "f" and "Q" have a larger variation and sometimes do not appear in a text line/paragraph/page. The average height is also unreliable because the value changes according to the relative frequency of characters.
At the point where standard height is calculated, the text baselines have been estimated and the size and position of the character patterns are known. Thus each character is represented for purposes of this stage by three positional measurements: w=width, h=height, and b=distance of the character bottom above the baseline. Standard height is calculated from a sequence of text assumed to be printed in only one font. The process thus estimates standard height for each line of text although standard height for a paragraph or page of text could also be used. If a line contains only a relatively small amount of text printed in a secondary font, the estimate of standard height need not be greatly affected, since the calculation is statistical in nature, as explained below.
The first step 120 (see FIG. 4A) in the calculation of standard height is to construct a histogram of character height. A size constraint is imposed so that very small characters such as hyphens are eliminated from the count. The result is a distribution graph 122, shown in FIG. 5, in which the "x" axis represents quantized character height ("h") and the "y" axis represents the frequency of occurrence ("f(h)") of the quantized height.
In step 130 (see FIG. 4A), this distribution is smoothed by summation to generate:
The hypothesis that governs the remainder of the normalization process is that the smoothed histogram F(h) is multimodal. Its two major peaks 124 and 126 (if both are present) correspond to tall characters such as capital letters or letters with ascenders at one value of height (peak 126), and another peak for small lower case letters such as 'a' or 'e' at a smaller value of height (peak 124). The process must also take into account the possibility that the text is printed in upper case only, i.e., that there is no lower case peak.
The major peaks are identified in step 140 of FIG. 4A. To do so, an initial peak h1 is first detected by determining the global maximum of F(h). This peak may be either the desired upper case peak (i.e., the desired standard height) or else the lower case peak. The peak identification step 140 thus proceeds to search for a second lower case peak h2 in the region:
and a third upper case peak h3, in the region:
The value d3 is a predetermined positive parameter representing an estimate of the largest factor by which upper case height can exceed lower case height over the range of fonts considered. This implies the relation:
The parameter d2 is the amount by which height can deviate from Height over the range of fonts considered. It is determined by simple math from d3 as follows:
IF: X=lower case and Y=upper case
Once found, the proper peak to use for standard height is calculated in step 150 of FIG. 4A by comparing the amplitude of the identified peaks ("f") to the total character count "N". To qualify as a valid peak, F(h2) or F(h3) must be at least 10% (or some other reliable percentage) of N. In view of the definition of F(h), this means that at least 10% of the character heights must be within plus or minus one pixel of h2 or h3. If h3 passes this test and has amplitude greater than that of h2, it is selected for standard height. Otherwise h1 is returned for standard height.
Once the standard height is obtained for a text line/paragraph/page, a set of normalized height/width/position values are calculated for each character in steps 160, 170 and 180 of FIG. 4B, as follows:
normalized height (NH)=height/standard height
normalized width (NW)=width/standard height
normalized position (NP)=({fraction (1/2+L )}*height+bottom above base line)/standard height.
The normalized character values can be used as input to a pre-generated character recognition library of conventional design in step 190 of FIG. 4B for generating a character code output set to complete the optical recognition process in step 200 of FIG. 4B. The optical recognition process implemented using the normalized character values can take several forms. It is assumed that each character has some n-dimensional feature and it is classified by comparing the feature with a pre-generated recognition library (each library member or "template" has an n-dimensional feature and its category). The comparison could be made using Euclidian distance or by other known methods. The n-dimensional feature could also be replaced by other kinds of features such as a geometrical feature.
The n-dimensional feature vector used for comparisons between the input characters and the recognition library can be augmented using the normalized character values determined above as an extension of the vector. However, the normalized character values are perhaps best used to pre-screen the library recognition template patterns to eliminate patterns unlikely to yield a positive n-dimensional comparison. The recognition library is configured to include six additional features for use in pre-screening comparisons. They are: minimum normalized height, maximum normalized height, minimum normalized position, maximum normalized position, minimum normalized width and maximum normalized width. At first the normalized height, normalized position and normalized width are compared with the minimum and maximum values of each template (prototype) in the library (the order H-P-W is preferable, because width has the most variations and is least reliable among the three). If the value of the input character doesn't satisfy the pre-screening conditions, the template is immediately ignored. If the six comparisons are satisfied, the comparison of n-dimensional features is executed for detailed classification. It has been observed that the six parameter comparison reduces the number of candidates very quickly to less than half. It also excludes upper/lower case and apostrophe/comma confusion and increases the recognition rate.
Accordingly, a speed and recognition enhancement method for optical character recognition has been described. While various embodiments have been disclosed, it should be apparent that many variations and alternative embodiments would be apparent to those skilled in the art in view of the teachings herein. It is understood, therefore, that the invention is not to be in any way limited except in accordance with the spirit of the appended claims and their equivalents.

A lifelong Dawsonville resident and former city council member died Thursday.
Friends say Gennie Melinda "Linda" Grant, 62, will be remembered for her devotion to her son and commitment to her hometown.
Just days after announcing work was set to begin on the intersection of Ga. 400 and Kilough Church Road, state transportation officials delayed the project.
The plan called for installing concrete medians, closing the crossing and eliminating the option for drivers to turn left from Kilough Church Road.
The honor of America's Favorite Park is up for grabs and a park in Dawsonville is in the running.
Amicalola Falls State Park, home of the highest waterfall east of the Mississippi River, is trailing in fifth place for a chance to win a $100,000 recreation grant from Coca-Cola. The second place park will receive a $50,000 grant and third place will receive $25,000.
George Elliott, late resident of Dawson County and father of NASCAR great Bill Elliott, headlines the 2011 class of inductees to the Georgia Racing Hall of Fame.
Mike Head, Harold Kite, Swayne Pritchett and Ken Ragan will join Elliott as the newest members of the hall.
Rex White, former NASCAR champion and member of the Georgia Racing Hall of Fame, will serve as grand marshal for the 44th annual Mountain Moonshine Festival this October.
White won the 1960 Winston Cup, and is NASCAR's oldest living champion.
A film crew from the Travel Channel was in Dawsonville last week, filming for an episode of America's Wildest Roads to air in November.
The crew, assisted by several community members, filmed a staged car chase between one of the first Georgia State Patrol Cars, a 1937 Ford, and two former 'shine hauling cars, a 1939 Ford and a 1948 Ford.
The Dawson County Arts Council held an opening reception July 9 at the Bowen Center for the Arts for its current Father's & Son's exhibit.
The exhibit, which will run through the end of the month, features artwork created by the father-and-son teams of James Daniel Sr. and Jr. and Doug and Tyler King.
Proceeds from a canoe and kayak race on the Etowah River Aug. 6 will help fund an elevator at the Dawson County Senior Center.
"We're so grateful to have this. The seniors really need an elevator," said Margie Weaver, center director. "We're so close and this will be a really big help to us."
Motorists are encouraged to avoid the Kilough Church Road-Ga. 400 crossing next week while the intersection is rerouted.
State Department of Transportation crews will be installing concrete medians and signs similar to those found at Beartooth Parkway and Ga. 400.
The southern half of Lake Lanier appears laden with the most fatalities over the past six years, including five the past couple of weeks.
But then, so are most of the parks - some nearly side by side - that are run by area governments and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers.
More than a dozen emergency workers were recognized last week for making a difference in the lives of Dawson County residents in life threatening medical distress.
Each of the individuals honored at last week's county commission meeting "contributed to save a cardiac patient," said Dawson County Emergency Services Chief Lanier Swafford.
For the fifth consecutive year, Dawsonville has been recognized by the United States Department of Veteran Affairs as a 2011 Veterans Day Regional Site.
"It's not an easy task," said Pam Hamalainen, president of the Veterans Affairs Committee of Dawson County. "We're proud to have been chosen as one of two sites in Georgia. It shows that we're right up there with the big dogs."
Margie Weaver was sewing Boy Scout uniforms at a local manufacturing plant when first approached about heading up the Dawson County Senior Center.
Nearly three decades later, Weaver can't imagine doing anything else.
Authorities continue to investigate the death of a 10-year-old northern Virginia boy, who was killed last week when he was struck by a personal watercraft on Lake Lanier.
Conor Tierney died July 3 from head and body injuries suffered in the collision, according to Dawson County Coroner Ted Bearden.

Welcome to our final Christmas project tutorial for 2012. We hope you enjoy this very cute present card from Carolyn.
Products Used:
Bazzill Basics Paper:
2-124E Red Devil
10-1001E White
5-510E Parakeet
303982 Holiday style 8x8 pack
S4-113 Scallop Ovals small
S4-110 Ovals Large
S4-294 Beaded Ovals
JustRite Stamps:
CR-03805 Noel Christmas Ornaments
CR-03780 Christmas tags one
Other Materials Used:
Creative Imaginations epoxy stickers
Step 1:
Cut two pieces of cardstock one to measure 5 1/2" x 11". The other piece measuring 6"x 3".
Step 2:
Score both pieces in half the first piece that is 11" score at 5 1/2 and the other piece that is 6" score at 1 1/2".
Step 3:
With your piece that will now be the present bottom make sure the scored edge is at the bottom. I used a strong double sided tape but you could use glue if preferred. Run glue/tape down the 2 sides remembering the bottom is already scored so no need to do that and you need to leave the top open. Do the same with the smaller piece but this time the scored edge will now be the top and the bottom needs to be left open so it can be used as a lid for the present.
Step 4:
Now cut a piece of patterned paper so that it is slightly smaller than your original measurements halved and attach to the present as in the photo below.
Step 5: Cut a piece of cardstock to measure 5" X 5" any bigger will make it hard to move in and out of the present. Then cut a complimentary colour just a bit smaller and adhere the smaller piece to the larger piece this will be your card that slips in the top of the present.
Step 6:
Decorate this panel as desired. Keeping in mind it is best to keep with flat embellishing as it must move freely in and out of your present.
Step 7:
Your present card should now look like this.
Step 8:
Cut a strip to measure approx 1 1/2 wide and the length of the patterned paper on both parts of your present. I used a xyron sticker maker commonly known as an x box to add adhesive to my ribbon, but you may choose to use glue or tape. Adhere your ribbon to the centre of both pieces of the cardstock you have just cut. Adhere to the centre of both pieces of your present.
Step 9:
Using the same ribbon you used for the centre of your presents tie a bow and glue to the top middle of your present then embellish as desired.

the ornaments were done in no time at all!"

"Beautiful card. Excellent card quality. Changed it from a birth announcement to a Thank You card. I kept the black and pink colours and only changed the wording at the very bottom to - our long awaited baby girl. On the back I added another photo and Thank You for your lovely gift with our names. Everyone has commented on how beautiful they are. Really pleased with them and will be keeping one for her memory box."

The Numerical Universe of the Gawain-Pearl Poet: Beyond Phi
€ 59,99
Bisher € 60,49
Besorgung - Lieferbarkeit unbestimmt
November 2002
Edward Condren examines the manuscript of the Gawain-Pearl Poet in the light of a compositional method well recognized from the literature of ancient Greece and Rome through the Renaissance but largely overlooked by modern criticism. Arguing that the manuscript is a single integrated artifact and not merely a collection, he shows that it is held together, as is the universe, by mathematical equations called the Divine Proportion in the Middle Ages and phi by modern mathematicians. More than a critical study of four poems in a manuscript, Condren's detailed discussion of numeric theory reveals the medieval way of understanding the created universe in neo-Pythagorean and Platonic terms, and it underscores the importance of the quadrivium in the medieval view of an ordered universe.Drawing on medieval theories of proportion and harmony, Condren shows that the manuscript is more intricately designed and presented than anyone has yet recognized and that the poet who created this work was better educated and more self-consciously brilliant than most have imagined. He argues that the order in which the poems appear -- with the two poems set in the Middle Ages placed at the beginning and end of the manuscript and the two set in the Judaic era located at the manuscript's center -- allows the literal narratives to exfoliate historically from the Old Testament world, through the era of the New Testament, and implicitly to the salvation that lies beyond. Working poem by poem, Condren details the mathematical forms governing the structure of the manuscript and guiding its progress, from the calculated use of decorated initials to sophisticated mathematics involving squares, primes, differentcounting systems, and geometrical schemes of the pentangle and ultimately the cross.Portrait

(ALLEN PARK) -- Reports of wide receiver Charles Rogers being overweight and out of shape obviously were ill-founded.
At 6-feet-3 with an extremely slender build, Rogers has had problems putting on weight and -- after finally adding another 8-10 pounds -- he still looks fit and trim.
"We wanted to put some muscle on him and we have done that," coach Steve Mariucci said recently. "And we will continue to do that. As he runs more and continues to become more active, he will be more fit and he will drop more of those pounds."
Rogers missed all except the first three offensive plays of the 2004 NFL season with a broken collarbone, his second such injury in two years. As a result, he was restricted in what he could do until late into the year and early this year.
"I've been lifting a little bit more," Rogers said. "I've been at it longer than most people in the offseason. I've been at it since the end of 2004."
Rogers said he currently weights 218 pounds, approximately eight more than he weighed at the start of the 2004 season.
"I feel I had to make that adjustment," Rogers said. "When things don't go right, you try something a little different. The weight's holding up pretty good, my speed's still there so I think it was beneficial for me.
"As I get older and I've been in the league now for my third year, I think my body's maturing now into a complete receiver."
Rogers got off to a fast start with 22 receptions for 243 yards and three touchdowns in the first five games of his rookie season but he suffered his first broken collarbone in a bye week practice session and missed the final 11 games of 2003. He suffered a similar break -- inches from the original break -- diving for a pass on the third play of the season opener in 2004.

You may have heard some hair loss conditions described as 'effluviums' and wondered what the term means. 'Effluvium' literally means outflow, and the word preceding it refers to the stage of the growth cycle at which the hair falls out.
The hair growth cycle
Rather than constantly producing hair, hair follicles go through a cycle of growing, resting and falling out, before beginning to grow hair again. The hair follicles on your head are generally all at a slightly different stage of the growth cycle at any one time, otherwise everyone would have a period of total baldness every few years! The three phases of the hair growth cycle are known as the anagen, catagen and telogen phases.
Telogen effluvium
The 'telogen' phase of your hair's growth cycle is the stage at which the matured hair rests before falling out. Most people shed around 80 hairs per day as part of this telogen phase, but sufferers of telogen effluvium can lose dramatically more than this.
Telogen effluvium generally presents as diffuse hair loss across the whole head, and can be caused by a number of different factors, including shock to the hair follicles from an external influence, stress, diet and hormonal imbalance. Telogen effluvium often affects women after childbirth, as the sudden change in hormones causes such a shock to the hair follicles that they shut down. This is usually a temporary issue.
Anagen effluvium
The 'anagen' phase is the growing phase of your hair's life cycle. "Anagen effluvium" refers to a condition where sufferers' hair falls out during this growing phase. Like telogen effluvium, the hair does tend to fall out in a diffuse manner, but because between 80-90% of our hair is in the anagen phase at any one time, the hair loss tends to be much more rapid and dramatic than with telogen effluvium.
Anagen effluvium is generally caused by cancer treatment, such as chemotherapy, which attacks any rapidly developing cells in the body, such as those found in the hair follicles, or by ingestion of a toxin, such as rat poison.
There is no guaranteed treatment for either condition. Anagen effluvium has been shown to be reduced by the use of 'cooling caps', which reduce the temperature of the scalp, but this is at best able to retain around 50% of the hair on the scalp.
Telogen effluvium can be treated with topical medications, but will usually resolve itself in time. Scalp micropigmentation (SMP) can provide an effective way to mask the condition in the meantime.

BHPian | LPG conversion for Maruti Zen LXi 2004 model Hi all, I am thinking of converting my Maruti Zen LXi 2004 model to LPG. Here is the current stats of the car: Current Kms run: 35000 kms Current mileage: 13-14 in City/15-16 in highways My usage: Mostly highways Average run per month: 1500 kms Its MPFI. Please advise is it a right choice to convert it to LPG, if yes, which LPG kit to go for. I am thinking of a budget of not more that 20k and is it worth spending this amount so that I could save cost on fuel. I am ok for 5-10% power loss. And also dont want to do any harm to engine. Please help me... Thanks in advance - Subbu |

Thanked: 14 Times
| A little search would help...!!! The running is fine to convert, but LPG gives you a slightly lesser mileage than Petrol, you save on the cost difference-but then saving is saving. Good kits are Lovato,Minda Impco,Bedini,Land Renzo,Tartarani. Ensure you buy genuine OEM Equipment,Pref check Manufacturing date on each component-Reducer,Solenoid,Emmulator,LPG Control ECU if installed as a Closed Loop system. No harm as such documented,but do run in petrol occassionally,pref start in petrol drive for a KM and convert to LPG-Same for Shutdown. You will need to have New Airfilter,SparkPlugs,Throttle Cleaning done for the proper setup and efficiency. Also look at using Castrol Magnatec or Mobil/Shell Synthetic for smoother and protected engine over regular mineral oil. |

"The most beautiful makeup for a woman is passion. But cosmetics are easier to buy." — Yves St. Laurent
March 5, 2011
FOTD (featuring Chanel Vitalumiere Aqua)
Sometimes, maybe a couple of times a year, I feel absolutely happy with the way I look -clothes, hair and makeup.
Yesterday was one of these days. Maybe because it was really sunny (even though it's still freezing cold), or because I love my new dress or had a perfect skin day. Maybe I was just in an excellent mood because it was Friday!
Chanel Vitalumiere Aquan foundation in B10
Estee Lauder Double Wear Concealer in 01
MUFE Aquacream #5 as a blush (perfect long-lasting dupe for Nars Orgasm!)
(no powder, no setting spray - you see the foundation as it is)
Mac brow pencil in Fling and brow gel in Mink
Mac All That Glitters
Mac Satin Taupe
Bobbi Brown Sapphire Shimmer Ink gel
Hourglass Superficial Lash mascara
Givenchy Rouge Interdit in Candide Tangerine
Yes, I got a bit happy with the cream blush, but I don't care, I like it this way.
Essie Clambake (2 layers) - it's a jelly color and I love it!
And a quick look at the whole outfit, which I absolutely love! (Crappy pic taken in the work bathroom)
Any look you particularly liked this week?

Brian, (Luke Goss – Death Race 2, Hellboy II) is desperately trying to seek a "quick fix" business deal that will put him back on top financially after being let go from his executive position at one of the top investment firms. Brian decides to go "all in", investing the rest of his savings into a short-term drug deal that would allow him to preserve his high-end life style.
When two recluse teenagers unknowingly intercept the illicit drug money hidden in the back seat of a car, Brian's deal is botched. He soon finds himself in a desperate situation as he owes a merciless drug lord the missing money. At the same time the teenagers learn that they've stolen from the wrong people. What follows is a twisted tale of greed, deceit, murder and wealth.
In this crime-thriller, three relationships collide in a fantastic saga where only one will get out alive.

English as a Second Language, or ESL, has many similarities to English as a Foreign Language, or EFL. In fact, the two types of learning may seem the same to some observers. However, there are some notable differences between these two approaches to learning English. The terms are often used interchangeably, but understanding the differences can help you to be clear when you speak of them. Also, the term Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages (TESOL) is sometimes used in place of ESL or EFL, depending on the situation.
English as a Second Language, or ESL, is a term typically used in Canada, Australia, and the United States to refer to people who come to the country with another primary language and learn to speak English secondarily. It is also sometimes used to speak of people who live in a country where English is the official language, but the vast majority of the population speak another native tongue. Thus, English is the second (or third or fourth in many cases) language learned by the individual.
The goal of teaching ESL is to teach the individual to speak enough of the language to function within society. In other words, the goal is to help the individual function in their new country, attend school if applicable, and get a job. The goal is not to make the individual as fluent in English as he or she is in the native tongue.
English as a Foreign Language, or EFL, refers to learning English in a country where English is not the spoken language. This is in contrast to ESL, where the individual is learning the language in a country that has English as its primary language. In many countries, EFL is taught in the public school system, as English is quickly becoming an internationally important language. Sometimes the term EFL can be used to describe the learning of English in an English speaking country when just visiting for a short period of time with the intention of learning the language.
Most people who learn EFL do so in order to graduate from their school program. Some will learn the language in their home country in order to help them succeed in their line of work if they are working for a company that has an international scope. For instance, someone living in India who learns English in order to work at a call center could be described as learning EFL.
Sometimes the term Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages (TESOL) is used to describe both ESL and EFL. It is used in England, for instance, to replace the term ESL, as this term assumes English is the second, not third or fourth, language of the student. It is typically used when teaching immigrants, usually adults, as other terms are used within the school system when teaching non native English speaking students. In the United States, however, the term TESOL has become an umbrella term used by people who teach non native English speakers, regardless of whether they are teaching ESL or EFL.
As more and more people are immigrating to English speaking countries and English continues to become the language of international commerce and trade, the need for both ESL and EFL programs that do a good job of teaching English to non native speakers will continue to increase. The Internet is making it even easier for people to learn English as an additional language. The demand for these programs is not likely to decrease any time in the near future, so teachers who can teach English to speakers of other languages are going to have job security for many years.

Tracking Fukushima radionuclides: A research cruise in Japanese waters
"...Without direct measurements of radionuclides in the ocean waters east of Japan, it is impossible to assess which isotopes are most abundant and which may pose risks to marine life or human consumers. Based on studies of previous releases into other coastal waters -- for example, intentional discharges from the Sellafield nuclear reprocessing plant in the United Kingdom, and accidental releases associated with the Chernobyl disaster -- it is likely that naturally occurring radionuclides, such as potassium 40 and carbon 14, will dominate the radioactivity in marine organisms. For example, fish muscle tissue normally contains potassium 40 levels of about 93 millibecquerels per gram (wet weight), carbon 14 of about 15 millibecquerels per gram, polonium 210 up to 5.2 millibecquerels per gram, and about 1 millibecquerels per gram each of uranium 238 and rubidium 87. By comparison, fish exposed to Sellafield effluent in the Irish Sea display cesium 137 concentrations of less than 2 millibecquerels per gram. Among the anthropogenic radionuclides of interest, cesium concentrates principally in muscle, while strontium and transuranic elements (such as plutonium and americium) concentrate in bone.

Israeli MK: "anti-Boycott Law Threatens Democracy"
Boycott law violates freedom speech.
On the night of July 11th the Israeli parliament passed the controversial
anti-boycott law. The law was written in response to the mounting global
movement of Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions (or BDS) against Israel
and profits from its settlements and industry in the occupied West Bank.
The Boycott movement began as a mass Palestinian civil society call, and
has been supported from the beginning by some Israelis. The new law
bans them from publicly calling for a boycott, classifying it a civil wrong. To
understand the politics behind the vote, The Real News' Lia Tarachansky
spoke with Noam Sheizaf, a journalist with the +972 Magazine, and
caught up with MK Dov Khenin during a protest in Jerusalem. This week
anonymous activists announced a week of direct actions, known as Rage
Week. Also this week the Israeli parliament will decide whether to
investigate human rights groups who work against the occupation.

Green Movement in Iran Issues New Manifesto in Wake of Arab Uprising
Editor's Note: The following text was given to insideIRAN.org by a group of intellectuals who are leaders in the Green Movement in Tehran. They are also the authors of this manifesto. We, dozens of groups of Green activists in Iran, have decided to offer several recommendations for the reform and strengthening of the Green Movement. These recommendations have emerged as a result of our experiences in Iran over the past two years as well as the experiences of those in other countries in the Middle East that recently have had popular revolutions aimed at overthrowing their dictatorships. These recommendations are the result of repeated discussions and debates among leaders of Green cells inside Iran, many of whom have suffered imprisonment, beatings, or other violence during demonstrations since the emergence of this popular movement. The continued house arrest of the leaders of the Green Movement inside Iran and the conditions in which demonstrations have been attempted after their imprisonment requires that the Green leadership outside the country review and reform its tactics and strategy so that the great social capital obtained by the Green Movement after the coup d'etat of the summer of 2009 is not lost. Moreover, Greens inside and outside the country alike need to develop new tactics and strategies in order to utilize and channel effectively the ever-rising economic, political, and social discontent within our country and to ensure that the movement does not split or falter. This short blueprint/manifesto is divided into three sections, constituting what we believe needs to be done to expand the breadth of the Green Movement's actions and operations if it is to become victorious at this critical juncture in history. The sections address three necessary rubrics: Inspiration, Organization, and Action. Based on Mir Hossein Moussavi's systematic statements after the coup d'etat and those of Mehdi Karroubi, the Green Movement leadership must present a concise but comprehensive critique and condemnation of the economics and politics of the present despotic system and present our alternative to it. It must offer an explanation for the grievances of the various socioeconomic and ethnic groups within our society and then offer inspiration and organization to the people in order to motivate and provide them the path to take action to remedy this deteriorating situation. I. Inspiration. The inspiration that is at the heart of the movement must be recognized and its message actively propagated to all involved: The Green Movement is not a uniform undifferentiated mass. It consists of a myriad of peoples who, together, represent the cultural, ethnic, religious, and social fabric of our diverse society, and they are deeply concerned about the fate of their beloved country and religion. The principles that unite all Greens are the goals of rule of law, respect for human rights, and the supremacy of popular sovereignty over all state and government institutions, including the post of Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, the Supreme Leader of the Revolution. Thus, we reject the suggestion of the former reformist president, Mohammad Khatami, that we Greens and the supporters of Khamenei (in other words, the supporters of despotism) apologize to each other and go forward from there. Such a suggestion is irresponsible and ignores not only the coup d'etat of 2009, but also the massive violence used against our society by Khamenei and his system that resulted in, among other things, the murder and rape of our youth. We believe that Khatami's suggestions in this regard are dangerous and threaten splits in the Green Movement and, if accepted, will result in a loss of our social capital. Khatami's discourse of reform is over, since Khamenei and those behind him have shown that they are unwilling to take this course and will resort to murder and mass suppression in order to ensure their political and economic interests. We believe that this goal of the complete subordination of all government and state posts to direct popular sovereignty needs to be clearly and repeatedly stated so that people know clearly for what they are fighting. Without a doubt, most people in our society want this political change. The time for hesitation and talk of reformism in this regard has finished. To the working and lower classes, we must offer an end to exploitative wages, and instead work toward true, effective trade unions, protected by law, and improvements in living standards and economic well-being. This goal cannot be achieved in the state structure we have today, as it is politically and economically corrupt and is not answerable to anyone. To ethic and religious groups, we Greens must actively propagate the promise of cultural and ethnic autonomy, which was expressed as well by Karroubi and Moussavi during the presidential elections. To women, the Green Movement must actively propagate the idea that women must have equal rights as men before the law. To the religious part of our society, we Greens must stress that our political goal of democratization will put an end to the abuse of religion by political opportunists and the supporters of despotism and authoritarianism to achieve and protect their political and economic interests. Religion is to be the model of morality, purity, and service to God, untainted by politics, corruption, murder, lying, and rape. II. Organization. III. Action. In conclusion, we would like to stress that this piece was made by us only as a set of suggestions and an expression of serious worry over the current state of the Green Movement. The above text is the result of debates, study, and the varied of experience of Greens on the frontline inside Iran, and our collective opinion of what is needed by our movement. We understand that most of what we have proposed without doubt can be improved and perfected as we move forward. In addition, we realize that many of these suggestions are not new. However, most of them have not been implemented or have been implemented only partially, which has resulted in a temporary but severe weakening of the Green Movement. We hope that the decision-makers outside of Iran will take seriously these suggestions. It no longer can be naively assumed that the despotic side of this regime simply will collapse due to its inner contradictions and power struggles. We on the ground have to create pressure and the conditions for its implosion. We here in Iran are looking for decisive participation from Green leaders abroad. The movement here in Iran can be rejuvenated and propelled to victory if such leadership is provided. If not, we regret to say, we feel this movement will just become another failed attempt to bring freedom, dignity, and respect to our country.

Streetlight Manifesto - They Provide The Paint For The Picture-Perfect Masterpiece That You Will Paint On The Insides Of Your Eyelids
Streetlight Manifesto - They Provide The Paint For The Picture-Perfect Masterpiece That You Will Paint On The Insides Of Your Ey from Fao Fao on Vimeo.
And a name I don't remember
Who lives in a house in the middle of the woods
And he said once "Son, don't you ever laugh out loud for they are listening,
Yes they are listening
Oh you've got to be strong
Oh, you've got to keep holding on
It's now just a matter of time"
(Head for the hills, go!)
They provide the paint for the picture perfect masterpiece
that you will paint on the insides of your eyelids;
Can you possibly see anything you want to see?
No (Hell No!)
"There's nothing wrong with the way I see"
and he wanted to be a soldier in the next great war
he wanted to kill and fight and maim but not be told what he was fighting for
And that's the way it's going to have to be my friend,
And that's the way it's going to have to be my friend
I passed a man on the corner in the city yesterday singing
"Yada yada yada and tomorrow it'll never end"
and I never thought I'd never live to see another sunny day
but I'm here and I fear I'll be here till the end
So watch your mouth
Or you're going to make a grave mistake
Hold your tongue
Or you're going to catch a bullet in the head
So watch your mouth
Or you're going to make a grave mistake
Don't die for anything less than the best of life
The things you said went to your head
But you never tried to understand:
What they'll take you will never take back what they take when take what they can
because they can from you
You follow me and you follow me but you never ask why
And I wonder what you're under could this be another piece of the
"I don't know I just do what they say because they say what to do in a matter of fact way"
But don't stop because you might get burned
And you might just learn to stand on your own two feet
And I think that it's neat how you learn to repeat everything
that you hear in the street so well
You learn to repeat everything that you hear so well
You learn to repeat everything that you hear so well
And everyone was resting because they thought it was the end
And even if it wasn't they decide they'd pretend
And somewhere in the distance I could hear him whispering
"You can fight all you want you'll never win in the end"
Sometimes in the evening when I'm lying in my bed
I am taken to the forest to the isolated shed
And I wake with his words resonating in my head
And I can't stop thinking about the gist of what he said
He said:
So watch your mouth
Or you're going to make a grave mistake
Hold your tongue
Or you're going to catch a bullet in the head
So watch your mouth
Or you're going to make a grave mistake
Don't die for anything less than the best of,
Everyone settles for the rest not the best of,
I will die for no less than the best of life

Burzynski The Movie ~ Cancer Is Serious Business
His victorious battles with the United States government were centered around Dr. Burzynski's gene-targeted cancer medicines he discovered in the 1970's called Antineoplastons, which have currently completed Phase II FDA-supervised clinical trials in 2009 and could begin the final phase of FDA testing in 2011--barring the ability to raise the required $150 million to fund the final phase of FDA clinical trials.
When Antineoplastons are approved, it will mark the first time in history a single scientist, not a pharmaceutical company, will hold the exclusive patent and distribution rights on a paradigm-shifting medical breakthrough.
Antineoplastons are responsible for curing some of the most incurable forms of terminal cancer. Various cancer survivors are presented in the film who chose these medicines instead of surgery, chemotherapy or radiation - with full disclosure of medical records to support their diagnosis and recovery - as well as systematic (non-anecdotal) FDA-supervised clinical trial data comparing Antineoplastons to other available treatments—which is published within the peer-reviewed medical literature.
One form of cancer - diffuse, intrinsic, childhood brainstem glioma has never before been cured in any scientifically controlled clinical trial in the history of medicine. Antineoplastons hold the first cures in history - dozens of them. [ANP - PubMed 2003] [ANP - PubMed 2006] [Rad & other - PubMed 2008] [Chemo/Rad - PubMed 2005]
This documentary takes the audience through the treacherous, yet victorious, 14-year journey both Dr. Burzynski and his patients have had to endure in order to obtain FDA-approved clinical trials of Antineoplastons.
Dr. Burzynski resides and practices medicine in Houston, Texas. He was able to initially produce and administer his discovery without FDA-approval from 1977-1995 because the state of Texas at this time did not require that Texas physicians be required to adhere to Federal law in this situation. This law has since been changed.
As with anything that changes current-day paradigms, Burzynski's ability to successfully treat incurable cancer with such consistency has baffled the industry. Ironically, this fact had prompted numerous investigations by the Texas Medical Board, who relentlessly took Dr. Burzynski as high as the state supreme court in their failed attempt to halt his practices.
Likewise, the Food and Drug Administration engaged in four Federal Grand Juries spanning over a decade attempting to indict Dr. Burzynski, all of which ended in no finding of fault on his behalf. Finally, Dr. Burzynski was indicted in their 5th Grand Jury in 1995, resulting in two federal trials and two sets of jurors finding him not guilty of any wrongdoing. If convicted, Dr. Burzynski would have faced a maximum of 290 years in a federal prison and $18.5 million in fines.
However, what was revealed a few years after Dr. Burzynski won his freedom, helps to paint a more coherent picture regarding the true motivation of the United States government's relentless persecution of Stanislaw Burzynski, M.D., Ph.D.
Note: When Antineoplastons are approved for public use, it will allow a single scientist to hold an exclusive license to manufacture and sell these medicines on the open market—before they become generic—leaving PhRMA absent in profiting from the most effective gene-targeted cancer treatment the world has ever seen.
Disclaimer: This documentary film is not directly affiliated with Dr. Stanislaw Burzynski MD, PhD, The Burzynski Clinic, or the Burzynski Research Institute, Inc. This film and this web site is not intended to replace professional medical advice.

The Powertrain Control Module is a vehicle's central computer. A malfunctioning PCM can cause a number of problems with the car, and you should replace it once you are sure it is the cause. Replacing the PCM on a Chrysler PT Cruiser is simpler than other vehicles because the module is mounted directly onto the engine firewall. The biggest concern, when installing a PCM, is the static electricity that can build up in your body as this can seriously damage the computer within the module.
- Skill level:
- Easy
Other People Are Reading
Things you need
- Scan tool
- Wrench
- Forked trim tool
- Ground wrist strap
- Anti-static pad
Show More
- 1
Place the new module on an anti-static pad prior to installation to avoid static damage.
- 2
Disconnect the PT Cruiser's battery by loosening the cable clamp for the black negative cable with a wrench.
- 3
Put on an anti-static ground strap to help prevent static damage to the PCM. These are available at computer or electronics retailers. Connect the strap to your wrist and connect the strap's alligator clip to a metal ground on the car.
- 4
Pry off the clip for the wiring harness to the control module with a forked trim tool then move the harness away from the module.
- 5
Remove the retaining bolts to the Powertrain Control Module with a wrench then move the module away from the firewall. Disconnect the electrical connectors by pressing their side tabs then remove the module.
- 6
Connect the electrical connectors to the replacement module and install it onto the firewall with the bolts, making sure you don't touch the module's electrical terminals. Connect the wiring harness with its clip.
- 7
Reconnect the negative battery cable with the wrench.
Tips and warnings
- An on-board diagnostic scan tool can help determine if the PCM is the cause of the car's problems. Look over your tool's complete instructions for which trouble codes indicate a bad PCM.

"Just What I Wanted"

I purchased these blinds for a living room that has a western exposure. The evening sun can be quite intense during the summer months. The blinds will provide additional insulation and help to prevent any fading of upholstered furniture. I love that there are options for allowing just the right amount of sunlight into the room.

We purchased three Blinds Galore cordless day/night cellular shades that were virtually identical. The only problem was one of them came with the wrong mounting hardware. Customer Service took care of it and within days we had the correct hardware. Quality of all components is nice, better than expected. Shades fit the opening well and cordless movement is smooth. Buy with confidence.

CnT-Prime is a fully defined, animal-component-free culture medium for isolation and expansion of epithelial cells from skin, cornea, gingiva, mammary and bladder tissue. It was developed using human tissue, but may also be used with other species (e.g. mouse).
It can easily be upgraded for clinical applications. Contact us at firstname.lastname@example.com for further details and pricing.
It is an evolution and refinement of our previous PCT media such as CnT-07, CnT-20, and CnT-24.
It uses an optimsed basal medium with additional trace elements, protective antioxidants and vitamins.
This basal medium is then supplemented with a range of Progenitor Cell Tareted (PCT) growth factors to extend longevity, and co-factors to improve growth factor binding to membrane-bound receptors.
For maximum isolation efficiency from epithelial tissues, it is recommended to supplement CnT-PR with the IsoBoost supplement (#CnT-ISO-50), which has been found to double cell yield in the first week of culture.
Primary epithelial cells growing in CnT-PR retain deliver extended growth. For differentiation experiments, it is recommended to switch to the CnT-PR-D differentiation medium.
The medium undergo a range of QC tests in our lab before being released for sale. Please see the datasheet for details.
Thawing, seeding and passaging protocols are particularly important for optimal cell growth. Please visit our Protocols Page for our recommendations.
Please visit our publications database and search by tissue type to obtain a range of articles that have used CELLnTEC primary cells and media in this specific field.
CnT-Prime, Epithelial Culture Medium
CnT-Prime is a fully defined, low calcium (0.07 mM) medium formulation designed for optimal growth and longevity of primary epithelial cells (skin, cornea, oral, mammary). It is completely free of animal or human-derived components. CnT-Prime contains a full range of amino acids, minerals, vitamins and organic compounds, plus growth factors to deliver strong cell proliferation, and cofactors to improve growth factor binding to cell surface receptors. CnT-Prime also contains PCT factors that maximise retention of proliferative progenitor cells, increase longevity, and minimise loss through differentiation. It does not contain phenol-red, or antibiotics / antimycotics.
- Species
- Developed for primary human epithelial cells. May be used for other species as well, including mouse.
- Tissue type
- Skin, Oral, Cornea, Mammary, Bladder
- Pack size
- 500 mL bottle, fully supplemented with growth factors. No further additions required.
- Product use
- Developed specifically to deliver strong proliferation and extended longevity of primary epithelial cells in a fully defined environment. The inclusion of PCT factors increases retention of proliferative progenitor cells, and minimise loss through differentiation. Not recommended for use when inducing differentiation. For differentiation work, please use CnT-PR-D medium. When using CnT-PR for isolation, addition of the IsoBoost supplement (#CnT-ISO-50) has been found to double cell yields.
- Media Type
- 2D-Prolif
- Defined
- Yes
- Culture condition
- This medium is designed for use in a 5% CO2 atmosphere. For suggested isolation, passaging, differentiation and freezing protocols, please visit the resources section of www.cellntec.com
- Note
- For routine cell cultivation, CELLnTEC does not recommend the use of antibiotics / antimycotics. During isolation, antibiotics / antimycotics are recommended up until the end of P1.
- Storage / Shelf life
- Store frozen below -15oC. For best before date, see label. To prepare medium for use, it is preferable to thaw overnight at 4oC. Alternatively, medium may be thawed at room temperature for approx 5-6 hours. If thawing at room temperature, ensure contents do not rise above 15oC at the end of the thawing process. Do not thaw in a hot water bath. Once thawed, medium has a remaining shelf-life of 6-weeks when stored at 4oC in the dark. Certain culture media components are very sensitive to light. Minimize light exposure at all times.
- Quality control
- Media composition is tested via osmolality, pH and the concentration of various ions. Media functionality is tested by evaluating growth and morphology or primary human epithelial cells over at least 2 passages. Free of bacteria, fungi and mycoplasma contamination.
- Shipping condition
- Medium is shipped frozen.
- Intended use
- For research use only. Not for use in therapy or diagnostics.

All my comments have been addressed in the revision. Most importantly, the authors clarified that also the underlying RDF triplet store is part of the presented system and not only the defined predicates. This was not clear in the previous version. After the clarification the contribution appears to be significant and my doubts in this respect have disappeared.
Authors have addressed most of the comments of my previous review. The paper is well written and presents impact and application of ClioPatria over its evolution, also illustrating limitations and next steps. Given the broad set of domains and lifespan of the project, I would suggest to add a table that summarizes the content of Section 4, illustrating what projects are currently or were in the past using what version of ClioPatria, when did their project finish and what is the current status. The evaluation of the impact would highly benefit from such summarized information and favour further adoption of ClioPatria in other projects/domains.
