Rhapsody of the Seas Cruise Review by farmerliz: Wonderful customer service
Overall Member Rating
Wonderful customer service
Destination: Hawaii
Embarkation: Sydney (Australia)
Having just read "MADMACS" review I thought I would give him some insight into his Hawaiian cruise in September as we have just done the same one in reverse.
We cruised with Rhapsody of the Seas but I think Radiance may be a better experience. Don't get me wrong we loved our cruise, but the Rhapsody is getting a little tired and is being relocated next year anyway. We have cruised on quite a few "lines" but must admit I have a soft spot for the "Princess" line due to the quality and variety of food and entertainment and ease of embarking and disembarking.
Our first experience of RCL was a lovely surprise, the staff made the cruise. They had time to talk to you and NOTHING was a problem, the service was exceptional, always smiling faces, wonderful people.
In saying this we prepaid our gratuities and were so glad we did as it would be so hard to know who to tip, even though we did extra tipping for extra service received.
Although the ship More seemed near capacity there was always somewhere on the ship that you could find some space of your own.
I personally liked the solarium area (no charge) and frequented the Park café for breakfast and snacks throughout the day.
No children allowed.....although you would not have imagined there were about 100 on board.
We visited Isle of Pines, Vanuatu,Champagne Bay, Apia and PagoPago and decided to do our " own thing" and hired taxi drivers in Vanuatu and Apia .Both were excellent showing us their island and showing us the "island way, one even took us to his village. Be sure to barter the price and talk to frequent travellers on the ship to get some hints as to what to pay etc
Always keep your eye on the time as the ship won't wait for you if you are late and not on one of their land tours.
Isle of Pines and Champagne Bay had beautiful swimming beaches. HINT.. take your own snorkel gear AND shoes to wear in water to make it easier on the feet.
Please talk to the villagers on the small islands who come down to meet the ships and support them with their wares, they are so nice to talk to and not "pushy" and appreciate you taking your time with them.
Don't just walk on their island and takeover their beaches and ignore them.
Now the downside, not many of these. I had read reviews on the food on this ship before I went and it was exactly what was said.
The food in the dining room eventually improved but the first two nights was very ordinary, and the food in the Windjammer café varied very little as did the food in the Park Café although nice and fresh. Always predictable unfortunately. No surprises anywhere, a bit tiring after 16 days.
Disembarking in Hawaii was disappointing, some 2hours later than when we were scheduled. Lack of communication with staff in the "holding" lounges led to passengers left sitting waiting with no explanation as to why we were running so late. I don't know what happened to people who had planes to catch! Luggage collection worked fine.
In closing I must comment on the effort of all staff in keeping the ship so hygienic and clean, always wiping hand rails and regular cleaning of facilities, hopefully keeping the dreaded "gastro" at bay.
All in all a wonderful holiday, would definitely try another ship in the RCL one day. Less

Cabin review: Deck 3 midships
Great position, very little movement. Very adequate as we don't spend much time in the cabin. Plenty of storage in cabin and bathroom. Lounge an extra to what we had before. No frig is a negative as is the fact there is no laundry on the ship to do washing and ironing so have to pay for this service. Irons not allowed in luggage and will be confiscated on arrival. TV reception catered for all types even had current AFL footy :)
Could be better for the price

Bring it on! Cech raring to go at Club World Cup as Japan welcomes Chelsea stars
Goalkeeper Petr Cech insists the Club World Cup is not an unwanted distraction for Chelsea.
The Blues arrived in Japan on Monday morning to prepare for their entry into the competition on Thursday, when they will take on Mexican side Monterrey in their semi-final in Yokohama.
With two wins from their last two games, including Saturday's victory over Sunderland, Chelsea finally appear to be coming into form and, with the busy Christmas schedule just around the corner, the trip to Japan could be seen as coming at exactly the wrong time.
Cech, though, sees it differently.
Unbiased reporter: A journalist shows his true colours as he tries to get a word with Fernando Torres
Boost: Midfielder Frank Lampard (centre) has recently returned to the Chelsea squad after injury
On the ball: Petr Cech (left) watches the back-on-form Torres at training in Yokohama
'I'm very happy to be here,' the 31-year-old said on the club's website. 'It means a lot for any player if you can play in such a great tournament.
'You only get your invitation when you win the Champions League, which isn't easy. I had to wait eight years to get the entry with Chelsea, so I hope we will make the most of it.
'Our last two results were very good, so we will try to carry that momentum into this tournament and we hope it will take us through.'
Along with Copa Libertadores winners Corinthians, Chelsea go straight into the tournament at the last-four stage, with the champions of Europe and South America always favourites to meet in the final.
Take a break: Torres and his Chelsea team-mates enjoy a breather during their session
Mobbed: Blues defender David Luiz can just be seen (big hair next to the pillar) as fans swarm the players
New surroundings: The Chelsea players train in Yokohama on Monday
Cech, though, is taking nothing for granted against Monterrey, who beat Ulsan Hyundai 3-1 in their quarter-final.
'We have to take it step by step,' said Cech. 'Monterrey have a slight advantage as they have been here and are acclimatised, they had a very good game yesterday, and will now face us on Thursday.
New surroundings: The Chelsea players train in Yokahama on Monday
Christmas shopping: Japanese fans were happy to splash the cash at a Chelsea pop-up store
'We need to get as fit as possible as fast as possible, acclimatise and get used to the change in hours. I hope it's going to work and we are looking forward to the game.
'We were already seeded to play in the semi-finals, ourselves and Corinthians are seen as the favourites, but we can live with that fact, I have no problem with it.
'We've come to do our best and win the competition, we can assume the position as favourites and we will try to do our best on the pitch.'
Say cheese and smile please: Ashley Cole lines up as the Chelsea players take part in a photo shoot
And action: Oscar is given his instructions for filming at the Yokohama Royal Park Hotel
Follow me: Blues playmaker Eden Hazard is put in his place before the cameras start clicking
The tournament is notable for the use for the first time in football of goalline technology, something of which Cech heartily approves.
'I'm very happy with the decision and the trial,' said Cech. 'I've been saying for the last 10 years that the game needed it. You can see with history that results in certain competitions could have been different.
'As a player you would rather wait a bit longer to have a correct decision rather than be disappointed, so I'm glad it's come in and I hope everything goes smoothly and we will see the benefits of it.'
Fan-tastic: Supporters lined up to get their picture taken wit the Champions League trophy

The Wärtsilä Bio Seal Ring is the first seal on the market that works with Environmentally Acceptable Lubricants (EAL), sometimes known as bio-degradable oils, for a lifetime of at least five years. Conventional seal rings are recommended to be changed at two and a half year intervals.
The benefits offered by the Wärtsilä Bio Seal Ring to ship owners and operators are both environmental and economic. The extended operating life expectancy has a significantly positive impact on dry-dock scheduling and related costs. The unique features of the Wärtsilä Bio Seal Ring have been achieved through improvements in the material formula by including new additives. The product has been tested extensively and proven in the Wärtsilä Seals and Bearings' R&D facility.
This solution is suited to fixed pitched propeller systems. Wärtsilä recommends that ship owners consult with the propulsion original equipment manufacturers to confirm EAL compatibility for controllable pitch propeller systems.
The new product enables compliance with the US Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) Vessel General Permit 2013 legislation which comes into force on 19th December 2013. From this date all commercial vessels over 79ft operating in US waters will be required to use EALs in all oil to water interfaces unless deemed technically infeasible to do so. At least 10 - 20 % of all merchant vessels trade and tonnage wise in the world operate in US waters.
"The new Wärtsilä Bio Seal Ring represents the latest development in this field. It conforms with the latest EPA legislation relating to the use of EALs within stern tube seals. On the global scale, the introduction of this product is fully in line with the marine sector's rapidly developing move towards greater environmental sustainability," says Mr Ryu Onishi, Managing Director, Seals and Bearings Wärtsilä Japan.
In addition to new shipbuilding applications, the Wärtsilä Bio Seal Ring can also be retrofitted to existing vessels. The first deliveries of the product will take place in October of this year.

Bearing in mind that a lot of us haven't seen the shows featured on Sankcom, it would be nice if we could be told just a little about what the plot is. A bunch of random pictures don't convey a lot of meaning.

Not really…there are a lot of beautiful people who still feel insecure about themselves. People pick up on that and it makes them seem awkward and a little less likable. You can be as ugly as sin, but if you're charming and well-balanced people tend to like you.

The Circulation of Visual Culture
Kathy and Cherry 14th April, 2008
The Central Changes in 20th Century
• Globalization
– The flatness of world – Global village – Global imperialism – Technological advancement and collapse of boundary
• Convergence
• Synergy
• E.g. Multimedia integration • E.g. Media conglomerates
– Corporation conglomerates: vertically integrating programming, production, and distribution and horizontally integrating across a geographic scope that no one entity could have reached alone
Thomas Friedman's "The World is Flat"
• Forces that flattened the world
– Political flatteners – Technological flatteners
• The breach of Berlin Wall in 9th Nov, 1989 • Netscape, the internet browser went public in 9th Aug, 1995 • Open source movement • Work flow software • In-forming • The Steroids, Digital, Mobile, Personal, and Virtual, wirelessness • • • • Outsourcing Offshoring Insourcing Global Supply-Chaining
– Economical flatteners
Thomas Friedman's "The World is Flat"
1. All the flatteners converged with one another, each flattener enhanced the other flatteners. 2. Instead of collaborating vertically, businesses needed to begin collaborating horizontally. Horizontal collaboration add value creation or innovation to the companies. 3. After the fall of the Berlin Wall, communist countries like India, China,Russia, and the nations of Eastern Europe, Latin America and Central Asia began to open up their economies to the world. They added new brain power and enhanced horizontal collaboration across the globe.
Triple Convergences
MuLuhan's Vision of Global Village
• MuLuhan's ideal image of a media-based global village
– Collapse of geographic distance and national boundaries – The decline of the central power of the sovereign nation-state, individual becomes more important – Internet democratized society – Communities formed based on shared interests across geographic, national, and cultural boundaries
The Transnational Media
• Television, the internet, and the World Wide Web erase national boundaries and creating cross-cultural exchange
– Cable News Network, e.g. CNN – Film production chain and circulation, like in International Film Festivals – TV programmes – youtube
The World is Really Flat?
• Censorship of information
– blocking SMS message on cell phones that contained any reference to Tianamen Square or even the numbers 6 and 4 during the anniversary of Tiananmen Square massacre – too disempowered – too sick – too frustrated
• Many people live in the twilight zone between the two, flat world and unflat world
• Domination of western cultural product • Trade politic
– WTO – Hollywood films in Asia market
• External forces V.S. internal forces
– US radio Voice of America was broadcasted into communist Cuba during Cold War era – Fidel Castro use media as propaganda tool
• Resistent forces
resist inside the system of globalization
– E.g. Independent documentary filmmaker in China – E.g. Anti-globalization movement, e.g. the Korean farmer demonstrate against WTO in HK – Special culture events for minority or alternative political position, e.g. gay and lesbian film festival – Fair trade policy
Cultural Imperialism
• "How an ideology, a politics or a way of life is exported into other territories through the export of cultural products." • Cultural invasion with images and messages
– E.g. The Voice of America, Radio Marti, TV Marti to Cuba promote global acceptance of US political values
Cultural Imperialism
• Media intervention an act of cultural imperialism • Spread of democratic ideas OR demonstration of cultural power?! • Cultural product move across national boundaries from big power to the rest of the world
• The global flow of Popular Culture - not a mere relationship of cultural exchange BUT more complex relationship • Armand Mattelart & Ariel Dorfman's "How to read Donald Duck"
Cultural Imperialism
Cultural Imperialism
• "How to read Donald Duck" - a submission to the cultural power - cartoon = imperialistic domination - Disney promotion and seek for new markets Sub-products like movies, cable channels, newspapers, magazines, books, music, videos, toys, theme parks - the U.S.A. in dominating position
Cultural Imperialism
• "Corporations have a vested interest in destroying indigenous cultures and societies and forcing Third World countries to adapt, as much as possible, to consumption patterns dictated by the corporate patterns of production and investment." Marty Jezer's The Dark Ages: Life
in the United States 1945-1960 (Boston: South End Press, 1982) P.66
Cultural Imperialism
• help spread messages across boundaries • global flow of information homogenization • Specific cultural identities under brand
– Coke in 1980s Vs McDonald in 21st century in China
Alternative circulations
• Hybrid and diasporic images • Diasporic communities generate hybridity
– Integration of people and culture – complicated the relationship between First World and Third World
• Arjun Appadurai's new framwork for analyzing global flows
– "-scapes"
1. Ethonoscapes 2. Mediascape 3. Technoscapes 4. Financescape 5. Ideoscapes ** Alternative to traditional model of how culture flows globally
• talking about globalization, do You think there is a tendency that we are inclined to regard the west as the core of globalization and the east is considered to be globalize • For the case of circulation of films, how is the scenario like??

Google updates Keep and Slides, allowing you to present on video calls and export notes to Google Docs
Google has rolled out a couple of small but useful changes to its Keep and Slides products.
First up, Slides now lets you carry out a presentation to a video audience, which means your colleagues on the other side of the world can join in with your presentations the same as people in the room.
New York, are you ready?
We're building Momentum: an all killer, no filler event this November.
To use it, you just need to tap the present button on an Android device and select the video call option – you get to see who is on the call before you begin, too.
On the Keep side of things, Google is now allowing users to export a copy of notes to Google Docs.
If you're not a user of either service already, the additions probably won't be enough to make you switch, but existing Slides users will probably welcome the additional mobile options.

Application of the Normal Curve Let Us Sum Up Unit End Questions Glossary
The word probability is a part of our daily lives. We use it quite frequently in our day to day life. We ask such questions. How likely it is that I will get an A grade in this exam ? It is likely to rain heavily this evening. How likely it is that a price of equity shares of company will increase in the next few days? While common man answers these questions in a vague and subjective way, the researcher attempts to give the answer to these questions in a more objective and precise way. There are different types of probability distributions. Normal distribution is a kind of probability distribution,. If we look around us we will see that persons differ in terms of attributes like intelligence, interest, height, weight etc. Take for example intelligence, it can be seen that majority of us possess average intelligence i.e. IQ between 85110 and the persons who have above average i.e. IQ 145 and above or below average IQ i.e. less than 70 etc., will be very few. Similarly if we see the height of the persons we will find that the height of the maximum number of persons range between 5.2 to 6 feet. The number of persons having height less than 5 feet and more than 6 feet is relatively very few. Similar type of trend we will find in the biological field, Anthropometrical data, social and economic data. If we plot these variations or data in the form of a distribution
and Apply the normal distribution. categorise the data and summarise the data by computing measures of central tendency and variability. different types of probabilities and the concept of normal distribution. Our interpretation and conclusions about variables are based on what we observed. The process of testing hypothesis through analysis of data is probability. you will be able to understand: Define probability and explain different types of probability. the probability that the next person coming out of the room is a woman would be 3 in 10. Theoretical probabilities reflect the operation of chance along with certain assumption we make about the events. which will then be tested using the data we observe. Nor C 4. if in a room there are three women and seven men. A company has launched new product what is the chance that it will be successful? According to Levin and Fox (2006): "The term probability refers to the relative likelihood of occurrence of any given outcome or event. Analyse the properties of the normal distribution. Probability of a women coming out next = number of women in the room / total number of men and women in the room = 3/10 = . To take another example. But here our approach will be some what different. Identify the characteristics of the normal distribution. For example the probability of getting 50 .). We will first suggest certain theories. We generate hypothesis.3. According to Beri (2007). collect the data. Probability of an outcome or event = The total number of times the occurrence of the event / the total possible times an event can occur. we would get distribution known as normal curve or normal distribution.30 The probability of an event not occuring is known as converse rule of probability.3 DEFINITIONS OF PROBABILITY In the previous units you have learned the way to describe variables." (What is the chance of getting a head when a coin is tossed.1 Types of Probability There are two types of probability. 4. " Probability associated with an event is the number of times an event can occur relative to the total number of times any event can occur. For example. propositions or hypothesis about variables. Describe meaning of normal distribution. what is probability. "Probability is the chance that a particular event will occur. In this unit we will discuss.Significance of the Difference of Frequency or put it in the form of graph.2 OBJECTIVES After completion of this unit. one based on theoretical mathematics and the other based on systematic observation. 4.
A zero probability means impossible and 1. In this way he extended the applicability of the normal curve. A normal distribution is one in which majority of the cases falls in the middle of the scale and small number of cases are located at both extremes of the scale. we will find that the greatest proportion of IQ scores fall between 85 and 115.4 THE NORMAL DISTRIBUTION The concept of normal distribution is very important in statistical theory and practice. 51 . So far as physical human characteristic is concerned. In the 19th Century Gauss and Laplace rediscovered the normal curve independently Gauss was primarily interested in the problem of astronomy which led to the consideration of a theory of error of observation. There are three types of probability distribution: the Binomial distribution. 5 probability means 50% chance. with far fewer being either very short (less than 5 feet) or very tall (more than 6 feet). first we specify the possible values of a variable and calculate the probability associated with each. In most situations. Normal Distribution: Definition.0.6 (6 out of 10 matches) a 'fact' we know from observing hundreds of games with various countries over a year. Normal curve is also known as Gaussion Curve and bell shaped curve. The only difference is probability distribution is based on the theory (probability theory). Characteristics and Properties 4. the probability that Indian team wins a cricket match is about . for example.00 probability means certainty.of e a head on a coin flip is .3. 4. In both form probabilities (P) varies from 0 to 1. In the latter part of the 19th century Sir Francis Galton began the first serious study of individual differences and during his systematic study he found that most of the physical and psychological traits of human being conformed reasonably well to the normal curve. A normal curve is one which graphically represents normal distribution. Here we are interested in normal distribution. The probability of guessing the correct answer of five item multiple choice question is . In the middle of the 19th Century Quetelet promoted the applicability of the normal curve. the poisson distribution and the normal distribution. Empirical probabilities are those for which we depend on observation to determine their value.2 Probability Distribution A probability distribution is directly analogous to a frequency distribution. We would see a gradual falling off of scores on either side with few 'geniuses' who score higher than 145 and equally few who score lower than 55. He believe that the normal cure could be extended to apply to problem of anthropology sociology and human affair. the percentage and not the decimal is used to express the level of measurement.5). For example 0. if we administer an intelligence test on randomly selected large sample. In psychology most of the traits are normally distributed. while frequency distribution is based on empirical data.5 (1/2 = . In a probability distribution. For example. In 1973 the French mathematician Abraham de Moivere discovered the formula of the normal curve.20 (1/5). most adults would fall within the 5 to 6 feet range of height.
For this curve. v) T/F T/F The distribution are said to be skewed negatively when there are many individuals in a group with their scores higher than the average score of the group.1 52 Skeweness Skeweness refers to lack of symmetry. i) A distribution where mean and median have different value is a normal distribution. 2) Fill in the blanks : i) ii) A _________ indicates how for an individual raw scores falls from the mean of a distribution. iii) The _________ indicates how the scores in general scattee around the mean. T/F iii) A probability distribution is based on actual observation. This deviation from normality tends to vary in two ways. v) To find the deviation from the point of departure (i. It represents the frequency with which a variable occurs when the occurrence of that variable is governed by the laws of chance. A distribution is said to be 'skewed' when the mean and median fall at different . T/F The mean median mode are _________ in normal curve. The normal curve is a theoretical or ideal model that was obtained from a mathematical equation rather than from actually conducting research and gathering data. Self Assessment Questions 1) Given below are statements. in actual practice the slightly deviated or distorted bell shaped curve is also accepted as the normal curve.Significance of the Difference of Frequency Normal probability distribution is a continuous probability distribution. The normal curve takes into account the law which states that greater is the deviation of an event from the mean value in a series the less frequently it occurs.) mean _________ of the distribution is used as a unit of measurement. 4. median and mode are at the same point. Therefore. A normal curve is perfectly symmetrical. mean.5 DEVIATION FROM THE NORMALITY Although most of the variables in social sciences approximate the theoretical notion of normal distribution but some variables in social science do not conform to the theoretical notion of the normal distribution and they deviate from the normal distribution. iv) _________ cases lie between the mean and ±1s on the base line.5. iv) Probability varies from 0 to 1. 4. In social sciences we conduct the study on representative sample and not on the entire population. indicate in each statement whether it is true or false. there is a perfect balance between the right and left halves of the curve.e. T/F Nor C ii) The right and left tail of the normal curve touch the horizontal axis.
An example is presented below: 53 . This implies that the area in each half of the distribution is . 3) The middle tick is labeled with the value of 4) Sequential ticks to the right are labeled by adding the value of σ .of e points in the distribution and the balance is shifted to one side or the other – that is to the left or to the right (Garrete 1981). and + 12 = 88. 5) Bilaterally symmetrical 6) Most of the area under normal curve falls within a limited range of the number line. The normal curve is not a single curve. three ticks are placed to both the right and left of the middle point. 7) All normal curves have a total area of 1. 2) Then. 5) Ticks to the left are labeled by subtracting the value of σ from for the three values. 1) A tick is placed on the X-axis corresponding to the highest point (middle) of the curve.50 or one half. and 4) Area under the curve. Normal Distribution: Definition.00 under the curve. Drawing a normal curve The standard procedure for drawing a normal curve is to draw a bell-shaped curve and an X-axis. and then 16. then the middle value would be labeled with (52+ 12)= 64. if M=52 and σ =12. then 28. all described by the same algebraic expression: Similarity of Normal Curves of varied data include the following: 1) Shape 2) Symmetry 3) Tails approaching but never touching the X-axis. then +12 = 76. These ticks are equally spaced and include all but a very small portion under the curve. Characteristics and Properties Properties of a normal curve The normal curve is one of a number of possible models of probability distributions. Look at the figure given below. rather it is an infinite number of possible curves. 6) For example. and the three points to the left would have the values (52 – 12) =40.
The first. The smaller the value. the less dispersed. each change the shape of the distribution in a different manner. That is. Changes in M. M determines where the midpoint of the distribution falls.Significance of the Difference of Frequency Nor C The two parameters. the more dispersed the scores. it depends on whether the new value of M was larger or smaller than the previous value. At the same time. M and σ. The distribution below demonstrates the effect of increasing the value of σ 54 Suppose the second distribution was drawn on a rubber sheet instead of a sheet of paper and stretched to twice its original length in order to make the . The larger the value of σ . on the other hand. without changes in σ. result in moving the distribution to the right or left. because σ affects the s pread or the dispersion of scores. An example of how changes in M (μ) affect the normal curve are presented below: Changes in the value of σ . change the shape of the distribution without affecting the midpoint. it does not change the shape of the distribution.
as outlined immediately above. being much flatter than the original distribution.of e two scales similar. and the scores are much more closely clustered around the value of σ . The second curve is still a normal curve. 1. Characteristics and Properties Note that the shape of the second distribution has changed dramatically. than before. it is simply drawn on a different scale on the X-axis. It must not be as high as the original distribution because the total area under the curve must be constant. or the midpoint. except in this case the sheet is stretched before the distribution is drawn and then released in order that the two distributions are drawn on similar scales: Note that the distribution is much higher in order to maintain the constant area of 1. Drawing the two distributions on the same scale results in the following graph: Normal Distribution: Definition. that is.00. Below the new distribution is drawn according to the standard procedure for drawing normal curves: Now both distributions are drawn on the same scale. 55 .00. A different effect on the distribution may be observed if the size of σ is decreased.

Although the curve descends promptly toward the horizontal axis it never actually touches it. In the normal curve the highest ordinate is at the centre. An important situation exists at the extreme of the curve. 4. For the curve the mean median and mode all have the same value. e = 2.7. 4. If we were to fold the curve at its highest point at the center.7183 (base of the Napierian system of logarithms) When N and s are known. In skewed distribution mean median and mode fall at different points. Characteristics and Properties 4.of e 4. having only one peak or point of maximum frequency that point in the middle of the curve. The normal curve involves a continuous distribution. The curve is a asymptotic. It is therefore said to be asymptotic curve. Therefore. p = 3. The first and third quartiles of a normal distribution are equidistance from the median. N = Number of cases. Normal Distribution: Definition. But these calculations are rarely necessary as tables are available from which this information may be readily obtained. we would create two equal halves.1 The Equation of the Normal Curve y = N x2 / s 2pe 2s 2 Here : x = Scores (expressed as deviation from the mean) laid off along the base line or x axis. and (2) the number between the points. All ordinate on both sides of the distribution are smaller than the highest ordinate.2 Area Under the Normal Curve 57 It is important to keep in mind that the normal curve is an ideal or theoretical distribution (that is.7 PROPERTIES OF THE NORMAL DISTRIBUTION In the following paragraphs we will discuss the properties of the normal distribution. It means that the left half of the normal curve is a mirror image of the right half.7. the height of the curve descends gradually at first then faster and finally slower. y = the height of the curve above the x.6 CHARACTERISTICS OF A NORMAL CURVE The following are the characteristics of the normal curve. Normal curves are of symmetrical distribution. a probability distribution). A large number of scores fall relatively close to the mean on either side. the scores become fewer. It means starting at the centre of the curve and working outward.1416 (the ratio of the circumstances of a circle to its diameter). we denote its mean . s = standard deviation of the distribution. then with the help of above formula we can compute (1) the frequency (or Y) of a given value x. As the distance from the mean increases. The normal curve is unimodal.
58 . and say a raw score located 1.3 Table of Areas Under the Normal Curve Suppose we want to determine the percent of total frequency that falls between the mean. To determine the exact percentage within this interval we have to employ Table A given in any statistical book under the heading "area under the Normal curve". if 49.87%) falls between .000 because of the greater case with which fractional parts of the total area may then be calculated.44% of the area (47. The mean of the normal distribution is at its exact center. then.26% of the total area of the normal curve (34. or almost all.74%. we must acquaint ourselves with the area under the normal curve : the area that lies between the curve and the base line containing 100% or all of the cases in any given normal distribution.13% of the total area also lies between the mean and 1s below the mean. if 47.72% of the cases under the normal curve lie between mean and 2 s above the mean and 49. It can be said.M. In other words.87% + 49.40s above the mean is obviously greater than 1s. Moving away from the mean we would find that 99. of the cases (49. Then we can say that 68.87% also lies between the mean and 3s below the mean. but less than 2s from the mean. A raw score 1. For example an intelligence test was administered on large randomly selected sample of girls. The first column of the table.3s to + 3s). 68.72% lies between the mean and 2s below the mean. The standard deviation (s) is the distance between the mean (m) and the point on the base line just below where the reversed S-shaped portion of the curve shifts direction.

According to a new report from research analysts at IDC, search is about to lose its dominance of the online ad market, to be overtaken by video and rich media ads by 2011. According to Enid Burns at ClickZ News, the report suggests Google, and to a lesser extent Yahoo, will suffer as the search market loses ground to other online advertising formats. However, the recent acquisitions of YouTube and DoubleClick by Google, and Right Media by Yahoo, should help them compete better in the display ad market.

Hi nanotube!
Do you remember me? Four years now that I humbly contributed on some minor things...
Time flies...
Well, here is my feature request:
Do you know about Wink: http://www.debugmode.com/wink/
I use it for recording screencasts. The configuration I love is "one screenshot for every keypress and every click".
So far I managed to hack pykeylogger to capture a screenshot using the code from timedscreenshot.py in onclickimagecapture.py (the latter doesn't work quite well, maybe because of https://sourceforge.net/p/pykeylogger/bugs/19/).
I realise that these two files could share some code. If ever this capture mode is of any interest for pykeylogger, maybe a refactoring would be necessary to make this in a clean way. But if this feature request is not interesting enough for others, I'll manage with a naughty hack (lack of time).
Last but not least: I'd need to insert the pointer arrow in the image. This should be possible with PIL. Last last but not least least, change the pointer according to the context (arrow, hand…).
What do you think?

If one is to make a balanced judgment of Walter Hill's 1979 "The Warriors" it is crucial to view this film exactly for what it is, one of the most exhilarating and peculiar action films of the 1970s, famous for the riots it provoked but much closer to Greek mythology than to reality.
Clearly a cult classic, "The Warriors" can also be seen as simply a great "chase movie", sort of a concrete jungle's "Apocalypto." An unusual film even in today's terms, during times when we feel we've seen it all.
"The Warriors" follows the adventures of the group in what turns out to be a very bad night for them.

Are you ready to sweat your butt off? We are expecting the heat index to be near 100 degrees for the next couple of days. How will you keep cool?.
The Michigan Department of Natural Resources is asking landowners to help improve the habitat for deer in winter.
Saturday was a humid day throughout the state, and late in the day it cooled off dramatically. This is usually the result of a thunderstorm, but sometimes before the storm front hits, the cooling will cause arcus or 'roll' clouds to form. They don't happen often, but when they do, it's pretty cool.
Here's some footage of a roll cloud over Lake Michigan from Saturday afternoon.
Any Michigan resident will tell you that the weather here is more than a little messed up. Now we have proof.
Scientists studying data from 1951 to 2010 have found that Michigan's climate is changing. Is getting better or worse? That may depend on how much you love winter.
It may be spring, but winter weather is sticking around in Michigan. Michigan weather never seems to care about the calendar.

The National Weather Service is forecasting a warmer and drier than average spring for Michigan.
Frankie MacDonald of Nova Scotia has been forecasting the weather on You Tube years, and he gets particularly worked up when a storm like Wednesday's is lining up.
I love Frankie. He's the best weather guy in the world!
National Weather Service forecasters have issued a winter weather advisory for all of the Lake Michigan shoreline, including some inland counties. Grand Rapids, Kalamazoo, Holland, and Muskegon will likely see least an inch of snow, while other areas will see higher accumulations.
Consumers Energy is advising extreme caution when on or near open water surrounding its generating and hydroelectric plants.

The Heat is On
Today is the day: My classmates will take our level six final exam at the French Culinary Institute.
The task? We draw a number from a hat that determines the dishes we'll cook under deadline. Then a panel of judges critique us in front of our classmates. We'll either cook a fish and pastry pairing or a meat and appetizer.
If you pass, you receive a diploma declaring you're a chef.
I spent yesterday being a nervous wreck, though. I inhaled three sizable cupcakes and ordered Chinese take out (something I've never done in New York) at 12:30 a.m. as I was studying my recipes. Last night I only got about five hours of sleep. Maybe that's why I'm calmer this morning.
I know I can cook the dishes. The only thing I'm worried about is doing everything on time and making sure it's presented well. I figure it's better to be calm and confident instead of running around like a chicken with its head cut off.
Breath, stay calm and just cook — that's what I keep telling myself over and over.
In the meantime, my uniform is cleaned and ironed. My knives are sharpened. I've gone through recipes in my head countless times.
The only thing between me and diploma are two dishes. I'm hoping I get the branzino and bread pudding pairing. But whatever it turns out to be, I think the biggest lesson culinary school has taught me is to be confident in my cooking. I'm sure that will be the key to passing.

A Quick Look at Shutter 0.86.4 - Powerful Desktop Screenshot Application
Shutter is probably the most powerful screenshot application for Linux, and the main reason for this is that it comes with tons of configuration options for the final process of taking a simple screenshot. And why not, considering there are people out there who need to take a screenshot of a single window or a desktop region instead of fullscreen only, like the GNOME default screenshot program. Of course, there is KSnapshot which offers these two options too, but that's where similarities stop.
Shutter 0.86.4 in Ubuntu Maverick Meerkat Beta
Shutter has much more to offer than the usual screenshot program. It allows you to take the screenshot of the fullscreen, selection (press Enter after selecting the rectangular area to take the screenshot), window, menu, tooltip, and it also provides a changeable delay from when you give the command until the actual screenshot is taken. You can print the image on-the-fly directly from shutter, without the need to open an external image viewer.

In a Quiet Market for PCs, Chromebooks are Marching Steadily Forward
It's no secret that Chrome OS has not been the same striking success for Google that the Android OS has been. And yet, Chromebooks--portable computers running the platform--have not only found their niche, but they are also introducing a new generation to cloud computing. Chromebooks are firmly entrenched in the education market, where many young users have become used to the convention of storing apps and data in the cloud. Now, according to new research from Gartner, Chromebooks are ready to hit new milestones. Analysts there report that Chromebook shipment growth will be in the double digits this year. At the same time, though, Chromebooks have not become fixtures in the enterprise, replacing Windows PCs.

Top book about a top lass,
Verified Purchase(What is this?)
This review is from: Chanelle Hayes - Baring My Heart (Kindle Edition)
Don't normally review books but felt I had too with this. Chanelle is brutally honest and your emotions go with her as the book continues. This is the best celeb autobiography I've read (and I've read a few.). Well worth a read.
