With the growing demand for visual information of rich content, effective and efficient manipulations of large video databases are increasingly desired. Many investigations have been made on content-based video retrieval. However, despite the importance, video subsequence identification, which is to find the similar content to a short query clip from a long video sequence, has not been well addressed. This paper presents a graph transformation and matching approach to this problem, with extension to identify the occurrence of potentially different ordering or length due to content editing. With a novel batch query algorithm to retrieve similar frames, the mapping relationship between the query and database video is first represented by a bipartite graph. The densely matched parts along the long sequence are then extracted, followed by a filter-and-refine search strategy to prune some irrelevant subsequences. During the filtering stage, maximum size matching is deployed for each subgraph constructed by the query and candidate subsequence to obtain a smaller set of candidates. During the refinement stage, sub-maximum similarity matching is devised to identify the subsequence with the highest aggregate score from all candidates, according to a robust video similarity model that incorporates visual content, temporal order, and frame alignment information. The performance studies conducted on a long video recording of 50 hours validate that our approach is promising in terms of both search accuracy and speed.

Here's how not to manage a team: One week before a big test match, tell your squad of 48 that the twenty-five names you're about to read out a) will be playing in Invercargill on a cold Tuesday night, b) have absolutely no show of being in the test. A kick in the guts for the players? Sure looked like that from the way they played last night down there in 'Chernobyl.'
I sure hope Clive's got something going on behind those big red fences around his training grounds and his number one team does make a competitive showing on Saturday, because at present they're making heavy weather of beating NPC teams who've had barely a full game under their belts. It's great if the All Blacks spank them, but a competitive series is what we're after, right?

India Finance Minister Fails to Help Rupee
MUMBAI—The Indian rupee extended its fall against the dollar Thursday as the country's finance minister disappointed foreign exchange dealers and investors by failing to announce concrete steps to stem the currency's slide.
Finance Minister P. Chidambaram spoke at length Thursday morning in an attempt to bolster confidence in the currency, which slid this week to all-time lows against the U.S. dollar. Investors are worried about the country's large current-account deficit and an economy which is growing at 5% annually, down sharply from rates of 9% in recent years.
Mr. Chidambaram, in his remarks, said he believed the rupee's fall was in line with that of other countries that have large current-account deficits, like South Africa. He also promised further changes to economic overhauls to attract foreign investment.
"I don't think there is any reason to panic," he said. "Steps are being taken to ensure that the rupee will find its level, and it is quite possible it will regain the losses it has suffered in the last few days."
But the speech was largely viewed as jawboning by market participants, who complained it lacked specific measures. The rupee was trading after the speech at 58.54 to the dollar, compared with 57.79 in late Asian trade Wednesday. Just after midday it was at 58.40.
Indian shares Thursday also extended a recent decline. The Bombay Stock Exchange's S&P BSE Sensex was down 1% at 18843.64 points in late morning trade. It was down 0.9% before the start of the Finance Minister's remarks.
"The market was expecting a cure-all. But the finance minister disappointed us," said Navin Raghuvanshi, a currency trader at Mumbai-based Development Credit Bank. EQDCBBANK 0.40 % "The sentiment continues to be bearish. A record low for the rupee cannot be ruled out in the near-term."
Foreign investors have pulled out $2.5 billion from Indian bonds since the start of the month, in part due to India's problems but also to take advantage over rising U.S. interest rates.
Late Wednesday, New Delhi increased by $5 billion to $30 billion the amount foreign institutional investors can put into government bonds. But bond market traders say any inflow of fresh foreign capital is unlikely to materialize until the government takes more concrete steps to address investors' concerns over the economy.
Many investors say the government should allow greater foreign investment in sectors such as insurance and pensions to attract more stable foreign inflows and counterbalance the current account deficit.
Investors also want to see a reduction in fuel subsidies, which keeps demand high and adds to the country's huge fuel-import bill. And many are pushing for speedier clearances for infrastructure projects to boost slowing economic growth.
Others say the government's tax policies, including efforts to recoup $2 billion in taxes from Vodafone VOD 4.09 % for its $11.2 billion majority stake purchase in the Indian operations of Hutchison Whampoa Ltd. in 2007, have scared away investors.
"If India completely liberalizes foreign direct investment and lets the Vodafone tax case go, it will improve sentiment dramatically. It could help the currency stabilize," said Dariusz Kowalczyk, an economist and currency strategist at Crédit Agricole CRARY 1.18 % CIB in Hong Kong.
"By saying that the rupee should find its own level, the finance minister seemed to have a hands-off approach," he said.
Mr. Chidambaram said the government was reviewing foreign investment limits in a number of sectors, including defense, and would finalize its plans by the end of June. He gave no further details.
He also said the government was trying to speed up clearances for some 215 large industrial projects that are held up due to delays in government clearances such as grant of environmental approvals and problems in land acquisition.
There have been some positives for the economy, which Mr. Chidambaram noted, including a falling budget deficit.
On Wednesday, Fitch Ratings raised its outlook on India's credit rating to stable from negative. Fitch said India is taking steps to cut its budget deficit, including raising subsidized fuel prices, which has reduced some concerns about the economy.
Citigroup C 0.39 % economist Rohini Malkani said Fitch's upgrade to India's credit outlook could make investors more confident about putting their money in India. "That is going to be one factor that will help support the rupee," said Ms. Malkani. She expects the rupee to trade between 54 rupees and 56 rupees to the dollar in coming weeks.
Other analysts see the local currency falling to 60 rupees to the dollar this year, as concerns about the current account deficit linger.
The rupee has fallen nearly 6% against the U.S. dollar over the past one month, hitting a record low of 58.98 for a dollar Tuesday. It has recovered a little since then following suspected central bank intervention.

Table of Contents
BACKGROUNDRoman mythology is the body of traditional stories pertaining to ancient Rome's legendary origins and religious system, as represented in the literature and visual arts of the Romans. "Roman mythology" may also refer to the modern study of these representations, and to the matter as represented in the literature and art of other cultures in any period.
The Romans usually treated their traditional narratives as historical, even when these have miraculous or supernatural elements. The stories are often concerned with politics and morality, and how an individual's personal integrity relates to his or her responsibility to the community or Roman state. Heroism is an important theme. When the stories illuminate Roman religious practices, they are more concerned with ritual, augury, and institutions than with theology or cosmogony.[1]
Greek mythology is the body of myths and legends belonging to the ancient Greeks, concerning their gods and heroes, the nature of the world, and the origins and significance of their own cult and ritual practices. They were a part of religion in ancient Greece and are part of religion in modern Greece and around the world as Hellenismos. Modern scholars refer to, and study the myths in an attempt to throw light on the religious and political institutions of Ancient Greece, its civilization, and to gain understanding of the nature of myth-making itself.
Greek mythology is embodied, explicitly, in a large collection of narratives, and implicitly in Greek representational arts, such as vase-paintings and votive gifts. Greek myth attempts to explain the origins of the world, and details the lives and adventures of a wide variety of gods, goddesses, heroes, heroines, and mythological creatures. These accounts initially were disseminated in an oral-poetic tradition; today the Greek myths are known primarily from Greek literature.[2]
TASKIn order to better understand and appreciate the importance of mythology and storytelling, you will use NoodleTools, Movie Maker, classroom, library, and Internet resources to create your own version of a classic myth from Greek or Roman mythology. Your digital story will combine images and narration into a short video slideshow that captures the essence of the myth and honors the culture from which it came.
- Story should be between 2-3 minutes in length (approximately 20-30 images)
- The first slide should be a Title slide.
- The remaining slides/images should tell the story in your own words.
- Each image should be narrated in English.
- Research (classroom, library and Internet) will be manged via NoodleTools and include a bibliography for all information and images used.
- The research and bibliography must be completed before using Movie Maker to create the story.
- Save all pictures and your Movie Maker project in your Google Drive.
- The final Movie Maker video file and bibliography should be submitted via Canvas.
DUE DATEThe final product will be due February 29, 2016.
GRADINGYour final product will be uploaded to this wiki by your teacher, shown in class, and evaluated using this rubric. As you complete the project, be sure to refer to this page and the rubric so that you are able to meet the requirements successfully.
- Arachne & Athena (Minerva)
- Bellerophon
- Cupid and Psyche
- Daedalus & Icarus
- Echo and Narcissus
- Hounds of Actaeon
- Jupiter and Io
- King Midas
- Medusa & Perseus
- Odysseus and the Cyclops
- Orpheus & Eurydice
- Pandora's Box
- Phaëton and the Chariot of the Sun
- Prometheus
- Pyramus & Thisbe
- Sisyphus
- Theseus & the Minotaur
- Twelve Labors of Heracles (Hercules) Labors 1-6
- Twelve Labors of Heracles (Hercules) Labors 7-12
- Sign up for a myth using this Google Spreadsheet.
- Locate two renditions of your myth and cite each using NoodleTools.
- From the two renditions, write one summary of the myth in your own words. Share the summary with your teacher via a hard-copy printout.
- Locate relevant images and save them to Google Drive. Be sure to keep a running list of the website where each image was found (copy/paste the URL into a document).
- Using your summary and images, write a narrative for each image using this storyboard template as a guide.
- Assemble and narrate your video.
- When finished, save the video to Google Drive as a video file.
- Submit the video and bibliography to Canvas.
IMAGE RESOURCES AND CITATIONSDigital storytelling is an art form that requires careful attention to the selection and pairing of words and images. Here are a few resources and tips that can help you create a better final product:
ImagesRetelling a myth in your own words requires creativity and imagination. The images you select should be representations of the main ideas in the story, not merely a collection of artist renditions.
Five to eight seconds is about the maximum amount of time anyone can focus on an image before losing interest. If you have lengthy narrations, you will need numerous images to tell your story effectively.
Image SourcesFlickr Creative Commons: http://www.flickr.com/creativecommons
Encyclopedia Mythica: http://www.pantheon.org/areas/gallery/
Image CitationTo simplify the image citation process, simply copy/paste the URL where you found each image in one running list/document.
EXPORTING THE VIDEOWhen you have finished your story, you will need to export it as an MPEG-4 (video) file. The image below shows the process you should follow:
- From the File menu, select Save movie
- Choose For computer
- Rename the project as your name (e.g. griffin) and save it to your Google Drive.

Hi, I'm setting up my product catalogue for our small kitchen shop. Loving the plugin so far! I don't want to sell most of my products online, the idea is to allow customers to browse our inventory and learn about items we may not be able to merchandise nicely in the store.
My concern is, there are certain items that I would like to sell online (like gift certificates!) but I'm nervous about setting up an ecommerce plugin next to the catalogue. Will there be conflicts that would crash the site(especially since the custom post types would be so similar?) I would have to set up a separate page for the "for sale" items somehow, I need it to be user friendly though and not too complicated. Is there one plugin that would work best?
Any suggestions or ideas would be greatly appreciated! It's a lot of work to set all this up on my own, so I want to make sure I'm going about it the right way.

Widespread Highway Funding: 'Stimulus That We Better Do Without'
The Senate is planning to vote on amendments to the economic stimulus package today. As CQ reported:
The first amendment scheduled for debate is a proposal from Patty Murray, D‑Wash., and Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., that would boost the bill's highway funding from $27 billion to $40 billion and its transit funding from $8.4 billion to $13.4 billion.
While it would be great to boost transit funding by $5 billion, the simultaneous $13 billion boost in highway funding would exacerbate the already terrible ratio of transit to highway funds in the stimulus package.
There are legitimate repairs to troubled roads that should be made. But widespread spending on new highways will come back to bite us — down the line, the ramifications of encouraging more urban sprawl and gas consumption will hardly be worth the stimulus gained now. When the same stimulus dollars could be used to create construction jobs that lay the foundation for a green economy, it would be tragic to blow them buildings roads just for the sake of building roads.
As Dean Baker wrote, "some infrastructure spending will actually be harmful to the environment and the economy over the long-term. This is stimulus that we better do without."
The amendment fell two votes shy of the 60 necessary to pass.

The RED tour 02/02/14 London
The 1989 World Tour 06/19/15 Cologne
I'm Emilia, 20 years old Swiftie and university student from Finland. I started listening to Taylor when Speak Now was released. I still remember the day when I suddenly ended up listening to Back To December on Youtube and I absolutely fell in love with it. Then I listened to more Taylor's songs and realized how great she really is! And since that day Taylor has been my absolute favourite singer and also an important role model. I feel like she's my best friend. Her music always makes me feel better, no matter how bad day I'm having.
I think that Taylor's music is just so special. I love that every song has a story behind it. She writes amazing lyrics and the fact that she really makes her own songs from start to finish is great. I also appreciate her a lot as a person. She is always so polite and sweet in media and she loves her fans so much! She just seems to be so nice person overall.
I went to her RED concert in London on the 2nd of February and it was unbelievable. I still can't believe that I really got to hear her sing live and that she really was there at the same place where I was... it feels crazy. That was THE BEST night ever and I will never forget it. I really wanted to get into Club Red but unfortunately I wasn't picked. I hope I could get a chance to meet her someday so I could give her a hug and thank her for everything. Right now it feels quite impossible but I will not give up. I just have to keep believing that my time will come someday.
I also love horseback riding, drawing, baking and playing with my dog. My favourite TV- show must be Friends and I'm completely in love with Wonderstruck! I'm also a BIG Harry Potter fan. I love the books and the movies and literally just everything about it! I never get bored to watch the movies again and again.
I hope I would get many new Swiftie friends from here so feel free to add me as a friend and chat with me :) I would like that. And of course thank you for visiting my profile! Stay beautiful!
~People haven't always been there for me but music always has.
~If you're lucky enough to be different, never change.
~Life isn't how to survive the storm, it's about how to dance in the rain.
I got this from Uroosa13Swift last Christmas. It's so beautiful! Thank you so much.
Hi guys! :) So I've now been here on TC about half a year and I think I should thank you for making this time I've spent here so special. It's been so great to fangirl Taylor with you, because outside TC I don't really have any Swiftie- friends so I'm kinda alone with this whole Taylor thing... but when I come to TC it's like a whole new world full of great people who share the same idol as I...

"Quaint County Seat Just North of Jackson" Canton by atufft
Canton Travel Guide: 15 reviews and 36 photos
Interstate 55 is a direct route from Memphis, TN in the north to New Orleans, LA in the south. Jackson is the only distinctive interrupt along the way. Almost the entire freeway route is shrouded in pine forests, and so it is very difficult to see much of Mississippi during a hurried trip through. Rather highway 51, which generally parallels I-55, is the better way to go, driving from one small town to the next, stop light to stop light. Strangely, when I suggested this alternative route to a rest stop visitor center volunteer, she frowned at the idea and told me, "You'll be safer to stay in the interstate. There's nothing to see in Mississippi, particularly along highway 51." I'm reluctant to take my 53' monster vehicle off main highways, and I don't have much time for stop lights, unfortunately, so when my dispatcher sent to for a pick up in Canton, I had no idea what I would find. In was in for a nice surprise, as Canton is a great stop along highway 51, off I-55.
Presto, the manufacturer of cheap aluminum kitchenware and gadgets, closed it's four factory's down sometime ago, and now that the products are all made in China, the factory building in Canton is used as a distribution warehouse. It's located in a run-down rural part of Canton, where warped rails evidence the end of freight train lines. At the time I arrived, black warehouse workers ate lunch outside, while mostly white office workers did the same inside. After making arrangements for loading the trailer, I decided to walk into town for lunch. I was delighted by the courthouse plaza and surrounding 19th century brick commercial buildings. But, Canton closes down at 2pm daily, so it was only by local recommendation that I was able to eat at Cristine's Back Porch.
Besides being the hometown for various blues artists and atheletes, Canton is rather infamous for it's huge annual flea market where all sorts of art is sold. I there the day after, and learned that some 75,000 people had besieged the small town for this event, perhaps the largest such flea market in the south.

You did a great job of presenting the town and status. We came through this area in 1999, and felt some old towns are still worth a drive through
Nice description of this small Southern town. Like to see those old downtown buildings. Some of those abandoned homes could be beautiful if restored. I missed Canton in my sole trip to Mississippi in the early 90s traveling from New Orleans to Vicksburg.

Look, no hands! A massage without hands may at first seem a bit like a pool without water or a sauna without heat, but founder of the technique, Gerry Pyves, believes a No Hands® massage can be highly beneficial. As with traditional forms of massage, the No Hands® experience aims to relax the mind and refresh the body. There is, however, a bit of a twist...
A No Hands® massage does pretty much what it says on the tin. Rather than using their hands to massage their clients, No Hands® practitioners press down with their forearms, using their bodyweight to provide a deeper massage. This unusual approach was devised when therapist Gerry Pyves developed a wrist injury and was no longer able to massage clients in a conventional manner. He subsequently found that many people actually preferred the No Hands® experience to traditional massage technique.
In addition to relaxing the body, the No Hands® massage is designed to:
The No Hands® massage is available in various forms, from a fully clothed chair massage to a head massage or full body massage. As with other forms of massage, the focus of No Hands® is on relaxation. Most therapists will play gentle music and will refrain from conversation during the massage, allowing their client to concentrate on breathing gently and releasing pent-up tension. The therapist will carry out the massage using the soft skin of their forearms to spread their body weight for a relaxing experience that soothes the body and irons out any knots.
After the massage it is a good idea to drink plenty of water, as this helps flush out any toxins. Many practitioners believe that for optimum wellbeing it's best to have regular massages – and you won't hear us complaining.
No Hands® massage can be particularly beneficial for those who suffer from muscular problems and stress. However, massage is not suitable for everyone: before your No Hands® massage session it is important to mention any health conditions you may have to your practitioner.
No Hands® massage has been termed the 'Gentle Giant' of massage, as it is achieves good results with none of the discomfort sometimes associated with other massage techniques.

How about those Minnesota Gophers! In his first year on the job, Richard Pitino led the Golden Gophers to the NIT title, as Minnesota downed Larry Brown and SMU last night. Yes, Pitino inherited some nice talent from Tubby Smith. Still, Pitino acquitted himself as a coach. The guy has a bright future. And, think of this: He's just 31. Now, if Pitino can recruit like he can coach, Minnesota could be on to something.

St. Petersburg, Florida
St. Petersburg (often shortened to St. Pete) is a city in Pinellas County, Florida, United States. The city is known as a vacation destination for North American and European vacationers.
With a purported average of some 360 days of sunshine each year, it is nicknamed "The Sunshine City." For that reason, the city is a popular tourist and retirement destination, especially for those in the United States from colder Northern climates ? particularly New York City, Detroit, and Chicago. However, in recent years the population has shifted in a more youthful direction.

Again, timmons being called soft or "not angry enough" because hes not a ranting lunatic. Its very odd
The Pryor play does get too much hype. Also, any play that allows a guy to run that far untouched can not be placed at the feet of one player. However, the one player who I would have thought had outside contain is Woodley, who bit hard by chasing into the pile. Unfortunately, even had he not bit, Pryor cut it up the middle so quickly that Woodley might still be standing there in position, daring Pryor not to bring it outside.

Timmons would absolutely be a pro bowler as a WILL backer in a 43, thats the role he was meant to play. He grew into being a hell of a 34 MLB but he was a great WILL prospect
Timmons is very explosive, give you a lot of freedom with how you use him with his speed, and is very good at reading a play. I cannot think of one thing poz does better, and to me that means timmons IS head and shoulders better than poz

If Toyota makes its customers feel like they are being cared for properly as the repairs are done, there probably won't be much of an impact, said Mike Jackson, director of North American production forecasting for IHS Automotive, an industry consulting firm.
"There's a tremendous amount of loyalty to the Toyota brand," he said. "Certainly it's not going to be the primary point of consideration for most consumers out there."
The window switch recall also highlights one of the risks of globalized car production: Automakers install the same parts on multiple models in different counties, saving money but exposing their lineups to big recalls if a part is flawed.
Toyota said it quickly identified all the models using the problem switches and took action. "We want to make sure that we addressed this issue quickly and effectively, and I think we are doing that with this recall," Hanson said.
The recall covers only the master power window switch on the driver's side, which controls all four windows. Switches inside the other doors are different, Toyota said.
Before the safety recalls two years ago, Toyota had a reputation for pristine quality, centered around its super-lean production methods that empowered workers to hone in on quality control. Toyota executives have acknowledged the escalating recalls were partly caused by the company's overly ambitious growth goals.
Toyota is also suffering from a sales plunge in China where car buyers are shunning Japanese brands because of a territorial dispute over islands claimed by Japan, China and Taiwan.

"If I could write a story that would do for the Indian a thousandth part of what Uncle Tom's Cabin did for the Negro," wrote Helen Hunt Jackson, "I would be thankful the rest of my life." Jackson surpassed this ambition with the publication of Ramona, her popular 1884 romantic bestseller.
A beautiful half Native American, half-Scottish orphan raised by a harsh Mexican ranchera, Ramona enters into a forbidden love affair with a heroic Mission Indian named Alessandro. The pair's adventures after they elope paint a vivid portrait of California history and the woeful fate of Native Americans and Mexicans whose lands and rights were stripped as Anglo-Americans overran southern California.
Set from the first American edition of 1884, this Modern Library Paperback Classic includes José Martí's 1888 prologue (translated from the Spanish by Esther Allen).
About the Author
Helen Hunt Jackson(1830-1885) is best known for her novel, Ramona, which is set in California and explores the same theme of injustice to the Indian.
Denise Chavez is author of "The Last of the Menu Girls", "Face of an Angel", "Loving Pedro Infante", and "A Taco Testimony: Meditations on Family, Food, and Culture". She serves as Executive Director of the Border Book Festival in Las Cruces, New Mexico.
Andrea Tinnemeyer teaches English, Chicano literature, and nineteenth-century American literature at College Preparatory School in Berkeley, California. She received her PhD from Rice University and was recently an assistant professor at Utah State University.
Praise For…
"Ramona is a second Uncle Tom's Cabin. . . . The arrogant mestiza whose attachment to her Indian lover endures through persecution and death . . . and the desperate love they share until the vanquishing blond race casts them out like hunted animals . . . all this is alive in these pages."
–José Martí

Formscan By Thomas Weekes - HURRICANE FLY makes his seasonal comeback here and, while his trainer has expressed some concerns over some of his horses being under a cloud, should prove up to this. He was disappointing at Cheltenham but bounced back with a win at the Punchestown Festival. His rating of 173 puts him well clear here but one time Champion Hurdle favourite Go Native bounced back to form with a win on the Flat at Galway latest. The manner of his win suggested he may well have the same ability of old and while his rating has dropped to 150, he was rated 164 at his prime. Unaccompanied gets her mares' allowance but is well held by the selection on a previous outing while Captain Cee Bee, a very admirable sort, takes a big step up in grade here.

Check your reply address in the Exchange Console for each user, that's where it's getting it from. Also, make sure your accepted domain in the hub transport is set to your external domain.

Winter is fast approaching, and with it comes some amazing cold weather styles to try. Not one to shy away from anything fun and fashionable, I must admit there are a few trends that stop me in my stiletto clad tracks. Over-the knee boots used to be one of those off limits styles I thought I could never try. In the past I shied away from this fun and flirty style for fear that the tall boots would swallow me up! Not this time though! I put together three looks that are flattering and fun for all of those petite girls out there. You can fearlessly rock an over-the-knee style with ease!
Tag Archives: fall
The fall season truly is an amazing season when it comes to fashion. It's cold outside and all you want to do is bundle up, layer on and in turn you look effortlessly chic. There is something to be said about a monochromatic look, whether it's an all-grey, all-brown or all-black outfit. It's the perfect way to look sophisticated for the season with minimal effort and major ease. So go ahead, take the leap and try some head-to-toe looks. Fall neutrals are totally in and it's time to have a little fun.
Well hello fall! Sweater weather is upon us and I'm excited for it to finally cool down and layer on with some must-have knits. The best thing about sweaters is their versatility. This season calls for capes, cardigans and pullovers that you can wear with your favorite fall essentials. Whether you're taking a Sunday stroll, going window shopping, or hanging out with friends, here are three simple ways to wear sweaters this season.
Last week, we hosted an Instagram chat with our esteemed style panelists, Tamika Reid (@tamikareid) and Ashley Torres (@pursuitofshoes). Missed the chat? Don't worry! We've put together a list of the most common questions our fans asked throughout the instachat so you can be prepped and ready for all of fall's greatest fashion moments.
Fruit punch, rum punch, bourbon punch… there's nothing more inviting than a big bowl of this refreshing, fruity goodness. But who knew there was such a thing as National Punch Day? One thing is for sure – I'm not complaining! Since we're heading into the fall season, what better way to celebrate this unique holiday than with a fall punch recipe? I call this: Tipsy Apple Cider Punch.
We have 5 million reasons to be happy and you're one of them! Thanks to each and every one of our 5 million Facebook fans for all the love and support.
I've never met a pair of boots I didn't like and this year's fall boots line-up is of no exception. If you're a boot lover like me, you're probably dreaming of all the new styles calling for a new home.
September is upon us, which means boots, pumpkin spice, and squash are all officially in season! This is my favorite time of year, and there's no faster way to make it really feel like fall than to dress your home up with some festive home decor. There's no need to spend a ton to do so, in fact, you can make something right at home! Today I'll be showing you how to make two types of DIY home decor for fall: a stunning centerpiece and a decorative door wreath. Super simple and super cute!

ANCC's Certification Through Portfolio Video Tutorial
It is important as health care professionals that we stay abreast of the ever changing and advancing field of medicine. Although we have many resources to keep us informed and up to date on new standards and guidelines regarding genetic education and risk assessment, we as nurses need to realize the importance of a certification in genetics nursing. A qualification in any specialty validates an area of expertise, enhances professional credibility, and contributes to a feeling of personal accomplishment.
Our colleagues depend on us in the care of their patients, it is our obligation to ensure them that we are not only competent but knowledgeable in this exceptional field of medicine. It is also important that patients, families, employers, and the community feel confident in the services we provide. To many, certification means the nurse is qualified and this alone can reduce their sense of helplessness and decrease anxiety levels.
It is a fact that there are a limited number of health care professionals with expertise in genetics, especially in rural geographic areas. Many patients referred to genetic counselors located miles from their homes are not able to keep their appointments due to distance &/or financial reasons. Being certified in genetics allows the nurse to provide patients, families, and the community with a wealth of information that can make an impact on cancer prevention, risk reduction, and possibly save lives.

Whiteboards are a fast, easy, and fun way to organize thoughts and ideas while you work in a variety of situations. If you're brainstorming a new project, feel free to write down every thought that pops into your head, and erase ideas that don't stick. For presentations, whiteboards give you a place to jot down notes that can be changed and updated quickly. In these situations and dozens of others, whiteboards offer ultimate flexibility.
At Amazon.com, you'll find whiteboards in a variety of sizes and shapes suitable for meeting rooms, cubicles, classrooms, and desktops. A large selection of sizes are available, from small to large, so no matter where you need to create a quick and easy place to take notes and organize information, we offer several whiteboard sizes to meet your needs. Most products have detailed descriptions of their dimensions, materials, and features, so you'll be sure to find whiteboards that are perfect for your space.
Many whiteboards feature a magnetic writing surface, so you can temporarily attach papers to the surface while you work. This can be useful for tracking paperwork through stages of completion, or even posting pictures related to the task at hand. Small, colorful magnets make fantastic organizational tools for whiteboards. You can use them as color-coded bullet points, progress markers, or for down time, use them to play games and unwind. To find whiteboards and accessories with the features you're interested in, you can use our helpful product filters.

Academics / Graduate StudyAdmissions Overview
To maintain a proper balance between department resources and the size of the graduate student population, the department must limit offers of admission to the most qualified applicants. Thus, the admission process is highly selective and competitive.
Initial evaluations of each application are performed by faculty members whose research interests fall in the area of specialization specified by the applicant. A typical applicant is expected to have a bachelor of science in electrical engineering, computer engineering, computer science, or a related discipline from a recognized institution. Highly qualified candidates with other academic backgrounds may also be considered.
The specific undergraduate preparation required for graduate study depends on the program and the area of specialization. An applicant who has insufficient undergraduate preparation in any particular area but is well-qualified in every other respect may be required to take certain undergraduate courses as soon as possible after enrolling at Northwestern. That student would be informed of such a requirement at the time of admission.

Application Deadlines and Important Dates
Applications for the 2016-2017 academic year became available on September 2, 2016 on the Apply Yourself application website.
PhD Applicants
The deadline for PhD applicants is December 15, 2016 (for Fall 2017). Most of the decisions are typically finalized by the end of March, but some decisions may be made as late as April 15.
MS Applicants
The deadline for MS applicants for Fall 2017 is April 20, 2017. The absolute deadlines regarding certain admissions-related actions by TGS are available here.
Who Should Not Apply
A current Northwestern University EECS MS student should not apply to our PhD program. For such a student, continuation to the PhD in our department is only by recommendation and invitation of the student's EECS faculty adviser. If such a recommendation and invitation is made, the faculty adviser will take care of all of the needed paperwork. The student must not submit a completely new application for admission to TGS.
When to Apply
MS and PhD applicants should apply to begin only in the fall quarter. Note that we only allow for fall admits to both programs. Winter and spring quarter admission requests by MS and PhD applicants will be automatically denied, in general.
The only mechanism for winter or spring quarter PhD admission involves the intervention of one of our faculty, who must agree to support the student in question as a research assistant for the remainder of the academic year. To explore this possibility, an applicant should contact individual professors listed in th department's faculty directory.
You can view a great deal of general information about requirements and policies on The Graduate School website. For more info, please contact the EECS department graduate office.
TOEFL Requirements
The required minimum scores for PhD students: 90 IBT (Internet-based test), 233 CBT (computer-based test), and 577 PBT (paper-based test).
The required minimum scores for MS students: 80 IBT, 213 CBT, and 550 PBT.

Tips (IMPORTANT INFO TO read before you begin your application)
We understand that proceeding with the application process for graduate studies is not an easy decision or something that should be considered lightly. To help you in making up your mind and give you some hints regarding the overall evaluation criteria, we provide a discussion of some of the relevant issues below.
Academic record
We do receive applications with transcripts using different GPA scales (10.0; 100%; etc.) and we apply the adjusted criteria to such scales. Hence, applicants do not need to provide any conversions and should leave their GPA's in your institutions standard scale. As another specific example, many of the universities from India have a "class-based" evaluation scheme, and we note that we will always give priority to "First Class with Distinction" applicants. The application process does allow you to write the "self-reported" GPA on the scale of 4.0, however, we will always use the transcripts during evaluation process.
Standardized test scores
There is no hard requirement for minimum GRE scores however, this metric is used by faculty in conjunction with other performance metrics to assess each applicant's potential and academic strength. Please keep in mind however that you will still need to meet the minimum requirements for English proficiency as stated above.
Primarily for PhD applicants, an EECS faculty interested in advising may conduct separate interviews for further informal assessment of applicants.
Refer to requirements at Graduate School
Statement of purpose
This part of the overall application carries an extremely important weight and the ones that are written in a clear and focused manner will be favored. Namely, upon reading it, an evaluator/faculty should get a crisp idea as to:
- Why is it that you would like to work in a particular major/specialization/topic and with a particular faculty as your adviser (for MS applicants this could be a project or thesis adviser)?
- Why is it that a particular faculty should be interested in having you as an advisee?
In each case, a successful applicant will provide a good balance between background, vision, and desiderata.
Example: simply saying that you like Northwestern or you have a high esteem for the faculty in the EECS, aside from being flattering, is not a statement that, in itself, will "sell well."
Lastly, while this may not always be possible, it will be helpful if at least some (parts) of the recommendation letters can backup the claims made in the statement of purpose.
In the online application system each applicant will be given the option to choose in order of preference among different Programs of Study in our department. Faculty examine applications in their respective areas, therefore, every applicant should carefully examine every faculty members research interests in our website. Furthermore, applicants will be asked to provide up to two names of specific faculty members, whom they would like to study under. Highly recommended and useful for identifying candidates to consider.
Letters of Recommendation
A minimum of two letters is required, but three is highly recommended. The Recommendation File Service (RFS) acts as an intermediary in the process. It is a common expectation that students be willing to waive the right to view their letters without question. Waiving the right to view your letters means that they will only be available for review by the medical schools to which you apply. Admission committees prefer applicants waive their rights to view their letters because they recognize that recommenders tend to write more meaningful letters under these circumstances. Read More
We will value all your achievements (e.g. awards received on competitions) and experiences (e.g. research projects; leadership). However, the best place to put them in a coherent manner is your resume. Ideally, some of these items should also be properly linked with the statement of purpose document.
More Information
Please consult our graduate admissions FAQ if you have more questions, or continue on to the application process for graduate studies.
