SAUSALITO, Calif., Nov. 14, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Beginning November 14 through the end of the year, students ages 13-18 around the globe are invited to participate in "Data Detectives," an engaging web experience to learn about how Big Data will impact their lives and the world they will be inheriting. Data Detectives is the student component of the Human Face of Big Data, a global crowdsourced project conceived by "Day in Life" series creator Rick Smolan. It aims to help people better visualize the ways Big Data is shaping the future of the planet, and includes a smartphone app, worldwide events, a large format illustrated book with an interactive iPad app, and a documentary.
The Data Detectives initiative invites students to answer questions, explore fascinating examples of how Big Data is changing their world, interact with real-time data and see how other students around the globe are impacted in similar and different ways. Students can explore the Data Detectives web experience at www.studentfaceofbigdata.com.
Insights from the project will be unveiled at the second annual TEDYouth event on Saturday, November 17th in New York, where 400 local high school students will gather for speaker sessions featuring 20 scientists, designers, technologists, explorers, artists, and performers who will share short lessons on what they do best. More than 100 parallel independently organized TEDxYouth Day events will take place in 42 countries around the world with the intent to inspire and engage today's youth.
As newly deputized "Data Detectives," students will be able to explore, discuss and pull eye-opening insights from dozens of stories about Big Data. These are just a few examples of how Big Data is coming to life in the real world:
- Ingestible Sensors: Tiny vitamin sized pills the size of a grain of sand containing integrated circuits and a battery that transmits heart rate, respiration, body posture, even sleeping patterns as they travel through your body.
- Finding the next Lady Gaga: A company called Next Big Sound analyzes social media to predict which emerging musicians are likely to write the next big hits.
- Food Fight: When nine-year-old Martha Payne of Scotland photographed and ranked her school lunches according to quality, quantity, nutritional value and pieces of hair found on her "food-o-meter," the local government council tried to ban her website. Martha's millions of supporters took to Twitter and Facebook forcing the council to reverse its decision. Martha used her newfound fame to raise $185,000 from her followers to provide meals to children in 16 countries.
- Sensing Earthquakes: In Taiwan, students at the Lanyang Girls High School are among the thousands of people in 67 countries participating in the crowdsourced Quake-Catcher Network, which uses the accelerometers in every day laptops to detect and provide advance warnings of earthquakes.
A supplementary activity kit for educators will be available to teachers on www.StudentFaceofBigData.com. This kit incorporates activities that employ statistics, geography, social sciences and other relevant coursework to help teachers use "Data Detectives" as a teaching tool.
"The goal of Data Detectives is to spark the imagination of students around the globe by making them think about new technologies that will impact humanity in ways similar to language and art," said Rick Smolan, CEO, of Against All Odds Productions. "We want to expose the personal side of a complex topic to demonstrate just how different the lives of today's youth will be in comparison to their parents."
The Human Face of Big Data project is based on the premise that the real-time visualization of data collected by satellites, and by billions of sensors, RFID tags, and GPS-enabled cameras and smartphones around the world, is enabling humanity to sense, measure, understand and affect aspects of our existence in ways our ancestors could never have imagined.
"The Human Face of Big Data and the associated "Data Detectives" initiatives illustrate EMC's belief that an interconnected world that provides the collection, analysis and visualization of data is empowering the human race across geographic, economic and cultural barriers," said EMC Executive Vice President, Product Operations and Marketing Jeremy Burton. "The Data Detectives initiative builds on EMC's long-standing commitment to improving science, technology, engineering and math education in our children's schools."
The Human Face of Big Data is a global crowdsourced project that also includes:
- A Large-Format Illustrated Book
On December 4, 2012, "The Human Face of Big Data" book will be unveiled and delivered via FedEx, the Official Shipping Sponsor to 10,000 of the world's most influential people, including world leaders, Fortune 500 CEOs, and Nobel laureates across 30 countries. The book will feature a fascinating array of more than 200 photographs, compelling essays from noted writers and dramatic infographics from renowned designer Nigel Holmes. An interactive iPad app will be released at the same time.
- A Smartphone App
Launched in September, The Human Face of Big Data app engages people in a series of activities using the sensors in their phones, as well as enabling them to compare their responses to thought-provoking questions with others around the globe to derive answers to questions about our most personal beliefs about life. As of November 8th more than three million questions have been answered by participants in over 49 countries. A full data analysis will be released in late November 2012. Download the app for iOS orAndroid.

Here's the question you clicked on:
Robin hikes due south for 6 km. Then she hikes due east for 3.25 km. What is the best estimate, in km, of the distance from her starting point?
you can use Pythagorean theorem... \[a ^{2} + b ^{2} = c ^{2}\] so... \[distance = \sqrt{a ^{2} + b ^{2}}\]
i dont know how to solve this
ohh ok
wait wat are we finding? c^2?
the distance on that diagonal would be "c" And the relationship is that c^2 = a^2 + b^2 but you need to solve for c, not c^2.
@whadduptori Hi, I need help with this question too! Would the answer be 7?

Is Aéropostale On The Brink Of Extinction?
Aéropostale has always played the underdog to clean-cut sibling staples American Eagle and Abercrombie & Fitch. But, lately, things have been looking particularly grim for the preppy-light brand. Friday, its stock plunged 20%, closing out at its lowest price in more than a decade. In the wake of reporting a rocky fourth quarter and yearly sales decline of 12% (down to $2.09 billion), the chain's shares quickly plummeted to a new low of $5.83. Given that Aéropostale's stock soared as high as $32.08 a share only four years ago, this is quite a troubling sign.
What has gone wrong for the once-popular mall chain? It's dated. Arguably, its quasi-collegiate aesthetic has fallen out of favor, and the logo-centric look of Aéropostale's traditional sportswear isn't as big as it once was. Instead, most young consumers aim to recreate high-fashion looks at reasonable prices. Forever 21 and H&M provide rapidly served approximations of runway looks, and Aéropostale has been unable to compete with that. Not to say it hasn't tried to evolve: The brand teamed up with the show Pretty Little Liars and teen video blogger Bethany Mota to update its image. But, the numbers don't lie: Those cross-marketing efforts were costly experiments that weren't nearly as fruitful as they needed to be.
No one is saying "RIP" just yet, but the writing may be on the wall. Only three months into 2014 and Aéropostale is already reporting a $68 million loss — up to $150 million financing costs may also be at stake. For now, the brand says it plans to close 50 stores and two P.S. for Kids, and it has hired a real-estate consulting firm to assess future closures. For nostalgia's sake, let's hope it can turn things around. We wouldn't want it to go the way of Radio Shack. (BuzzFeed)

I have almost 3 years of professional copywriting experience in one of Greece's leading advertising agencies. My performance granted me one Young Lion Gold and the position of Creative Manager in my firm. But it was only when I turned to Qual Market Research (Millward Brown RI), where I actually realized how writing works (as a matter of fact, all creative content). I came to understand that although fancy copy can get you the award, it hardly ever gets you the customer. I write for people, not consumers. There is no other way, really. Today, I work excusively as a freelancer. I am new here so please do not take it easy on me. I know hard work and I know deadlines. One chance will be enough.

Participating in international groups has benefited China and its economy, and it must continue to do this to achieve global leadership
History proves that involvement in the global economy is essential to an economy's sustainable growth.
China has experienced three waves of globalization. During the first round, from 1870-1914, China's per capita income decreased from 24 percent of Britain's to 13 percent. Fortunately, by the end of the second round which started in 1960, we caught up. In the past 10 years, total economic output, exports, foreign exchange reserves and the poverty rate have improved remarkably.

BEIJING -- (Marketwire) -- 02/26/13 -- Agria Corporation (NYSE: GRO) (the "Company" or "Agria") today announced that its New Zealand listed subsidiary, PGG Wrightson Limited (NZX: PGW) ("PGW"), has released its financial results for the six months ended December 31, 2012. A copy of PGW's financial results and the following market announcement can be downloaded from the website: www.pggwrightson.co.nz/OurBusiness/MarketAnnouncements. These results will be consolidated in the results of Agria for the six months period ended December 31, 2012.
Mr. Alan Lai, Chairman of Agria Corporation, said, "I am pleased to see continued improvement in PGW's performance year on year. PGW reported improved profits and strong net cash inflow from operating and investing activities of NZ$24.4 million, which led to significant improvement to its financial position. With this half-year announcement, PGW has also timely followed through with its dividend policy to its shareholders as announced last December. I look forward to PGW playing a more significant role in Agria's global strategy and future performance."
PGW announced an increased profit of NZ$4.8 million for the six months to 31 December 2012, up from NZ$3.1 million a year ago. PGW also reported strong cash flows from operating and investing activities, delivering a combined total of NZ$24.4 million (up from NZ$6.0 million last year). This result follows a strong profit for the full year to 30 June 2012 announced last August and has allowed the company to halve its net debt position over the course of the last 12 months. PGW Managing Director, George Gould, credited the improvement to stronger operating earnings across all major businesses along with working capital efficiencies and collection of the Crafar Farms debt in December.
In line with the dividend policy announced in December, directors have declared a fully imputed dividend of NZ2.2 cents per share which will be paid to shareholders registered at the record date of 14 March 2013. The dividend will be paid on 28 March 2013.
Mr Gould said that the improved earnings reflected strong operating performance across all major activities of the company. "The tougher conditions being faced by farmers clearly impact on some areas of our business, but overall our businesses have performed strongly and most have lifted earnings year-on-year," Mr Gould said.
"We are especially pleased with the performance of our New Zealand Seed, Retail, Wool and Irrigation & Pumping businesses -- all of which showed sizeable gains."
Mr Gould said he was pleased with progress being made in PGG Wrightson Rural Supplies and Fruitfed Supplies, both being retail businesses facing intense competition from farmer owned co-operatives.
"Our job is to add value to our farmer clients, helping them make their farming businesses more profitable. If we do add value, there is worthwhile margin for us, and the track record shows we are achieving success on this front."
"It's about having the best rural servicing reps across all businesses, in every region throughout New Zealand."
"While our trading businesses such as Livestock, Grain and Real Estate are more susceptible to overall market conditions, their underlying performance remains solid. In Livestock, our tallies remain broadly in-line with last year but the decline in sheep and deer values impacted on earnings."
"Our investment in R&D continues to underpin the performance of our Seeds businesses and we achieved outstanding growth in sales from the newly launched CleanCrop Brassica system and continue to see strong growth from the AR37 range of rye-grass seeds. Confirmation last week of arrangements for the Primary Growth Partnership for Seed and Nutritional Technology Development were positive and will be valuable in further enhancing our R&D programmes."
Revenue for the Retail business is not directly comparable to last year due to a move to transacting some categories as an agent rather than a principal. This did not impact on profit but resulted in a NZ$91.2 million reduction in stated revenue.

Teleost fish grow continuously throughout their lifespan, and this growth includes visual system components: eyes, optic nerves, and brain. As fish grow, the optic nerve lengthens and neural signals must travel increasing distances from the eye to the optic tectum along thousands of retinal ganglion cell (RGC) axons. Larger fish have better vision that enhances their ability to capture prey, but they are faced with the potential computational problem of changes in the relative timing of visual information arriving at the brain. Optic nerve conduction delays depend on RGC axon conduction velocities, and velocity is primarily determined by axon diameters. If axon diameters do not increase in proportion to body length, then absolute and relative conduction delays will vary with fish size. We have measured optic nerve lengths and axon diameter distributions in different sized zebrafish (Danio rerio) and goldfish (Carassius auratus) and find that, as both species of fish grow, axon diameters increase to reduce average conduction delays by about half and to keep relative delays constant. This invariance of relative conduction delays simplifies computational problems faced by the optic tectum. J. Comp. Neurol., 2012. © 2011 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

At the 2010 NAB Show, HaiVision will launch its latest MAKITO decoder, an H.264 decoder that supports video up to 1080p60.
When paired with the MAKITO HD H.264 encoder, this system provides low-latency decoding and efficient delivery of HD video via HD-SDI or HDMI output. It shares the space-saving, mini-blade form factor and low-power requirements of the MAKITO encoder.
HaiVision also will debut the newly updated Furnace 5.5 solution for end-to-end HD H.264 video-over-IP distribution. The integrated solution supports the compact MAKITO HD H.264 encoder to manage and distribute live video to computers and set-top boxes, to create scheduled playback channels for enterprise TV and signage, and to record content and deliver VOD in a secure, easy-to-use system.
The new Furnace 5.5 incorporates support of in-line metadata (HotMarks) allowing users to tag video moments with freeform data while recording. HotMarks can be applied directly to the video asset during the recording process either through the Web interface or via third-party control systems.

Waterfall Reflection
~Landscape Photography ~ Waterfall Reflection ~
Waterfall Reflection was taken at Ricketts Glen State Park in Pennsylvania.
Beautiful Easter
Back to Ganoga Falls
This past January 2016, my husband and I headed out to Ricketts Glen State Park in Benton, Pennsylvania to hike the winter ice trail near the waterfalls. We have been hiking Ricketts Glen for many years. I go there almost every Autumn to photograph the beautiful colors surrounding the 18 plus waterfalls. We have only been to Ricketts Glen a couple of times in the winter. To hike the Falls Trail in the winter you must have proper equipment; ice axe, ice cleats etc.. which we did. However, that didn't stop me from falling off the trail and over the edge at Ganoga Falls, a 94ft waterfall. The picture below is the shot I took before we climbed up the trail full of ice. The walk up the trail was ok. Nothing worse then what we already experienced in the 2.5 mile hike in. However, the walk back down wasn't as pleasant.
I slid down the trail and went over the edge back first, so I didn't see anything coming, couldn't grab a hold of a tree on my way off the trail. My husband and I were tied together, thank God. If we weren't it could have ended a lot of worse for me. I went over the edge, hit ground and rolled. I only stop because my husband got pulled by me and pinned against the tree. As you see in the picture below, when we went back to Ricketts Glen today for the first time since January, where my husband is at the top, is the tree that stop him. The rangers hat in the foreground, I stop just below that. It measures out to be, a 14ft drop from the trail edge, and another 14ft roll. I landed on my left side, which was full of black and blues. And, I was sore for over a month. Good news is, that's all I got was black and blue, no broken bones or anything. I am lucky. And, I thank my husband for all his support, love and care during our time of the incident, getting out of the park and my recovery process.
This beautiful black and white photo of Ganoga Falls, I took just before I headed up the trail to the where hubby and I measured my fall. The photo doesn't do it justice. The waterfall is much taller then it looks.

Yes, a budget Android handset can replace your iPhone 6S.
Are you still running an older version of iOS on your iPhone 4s or iPhone 5 because you're worried that the newer release will make your device slower? The latest iOS 9.2.1 update may be just what you've been waiting for.
This $199 handset is loaded with features and should satisfy any consumer on a budget looking for value in an Android phone.

If BlackBerry's new touchscreen smartphone lands on your desk should you Leap for joy? Read our review to find out.
The revamped MacBook is wonderfully slim and light, with a high-quality Retina display. However, performance and battery life are relatively modest, while wired connectivity is severely limited.
After waiting for a refreshed Retina-based MacBook Air, David Gewirtz is lusting after Apple's new super-light MacBook. But is it too much show and not enough go?
Microsoft has been making great strides in the tablet arena over the past few years, with the Surface Pro 3 being the product of this hard work. But there's a problem with the Surface Pro 3 - price. Microsoft is addressing this with the new Surface 3, and finally we have a serious contender to the iPad.
The BlackBerry Classic has probably the best keyboard of any smartphone - but is that enough to raise it from nostalgia excercise to genuine contender?
The best Chromebook is also, easily, the most expensive Chromebook. For some people, though, it's worth the money.
The Transformer Book Flip TP550LA is a 15.6-inch multimode notebook whose Core i7 processor and reasonable price are added attractions. Bear in mind, though, that it's heavy and unwieldy (especially in tablet mode), screen resolution could be higher, and battery life isn't great.
Dell's Inspiron 13 7000 Series supports laptop and tablet modes, and shines in the screen and storage departments. We're less impressed with its build quality and battery life, though, and would appreciate an Ethernet port.
The ThinkCentre Edge 91z performs well, although a discrete GPU option would be welcome for graphically demanding workloads. We'd also appreciate dual-band Wi-Fi, USB 3.0 support, a less glossy screen, a slot-loading optical drive and a better keyboard.
Now in its 26th year, Hot Chips has always been about the big, power-hungry chips that power the world's fastest servers. But this year ARM crashed the party.
If you're envious of the affordability of Chrome OS laptops, but need to run Windows applications, Lenovo's 15.6-inch B50-30 has much to recommend it.
Are 64-bit ARM processors ready for the datacenter? Applied Micro and Canonical claim they are with an upcoming demo of the OpenStack cloud using Ubuntu Linux on an X-Gene server.
Apple promised that the iPad 4's new A6X processor would be twice as fast as that of the iPad 3, and if a new leaked benchmark is real, it seems that the new tablet lives up to these expectations.

This month we've already seen Eastern Michigan emphatically push back against faculty-fueled talk of moving the football program down to the FCS level or disbanding it completely. Now it's a former MAC member doing some pushing of its own on a similar effort.
Thursday, the faculty senate at UMass urged officials at the university to vote on a resolution "to end Division I football (Football Bowl Subdivision) at the University of Massachusetts Amherst and either move to a different division or discontinue NCAA football altogether." That blast served as the latest salvo in a nearly four-year effort by the senate to rid itself and its university of the sport.
As has been the case in previous efforts, they appear to have failed miserably as the motion was defeated by a 2-1 margin. Saying "[t]his is now the third time in my four years that they have brought up a motion and have not succeeded," chancellor Kumble Subbaswamy went on to praise the direction of a program that is now a football independent after leaving the MAC following the 2015 season.
"I think the program is in good shape and (headed) in the right direction," he said. "This was simply a small group of senators who have been carrying on this agenda for some time. And they're not getting the support they need. …
"I can't control what the Faculty Senate does. It's a waste of this important body's time, in my opinion, to keep bringing up this issue. We have lots of issues on the curriculum and we have lots of issues on our future planning and so forth. So I think the academic senate's time should be more wisely spent than debating something over and over again."
Like their former conference counterparts at EMU, UMass has struggled mightily of late. Since becoming full-fledged members of the FBS in 2012, the Minutemen have posted just eight wins versus 40 losses.
Despite those struggles, "we have strong support from the alumni base and our own student body," Subbaswamy said, "which we're going to build even more once we start playing even more games on campus."
