Yelling PUDDING is very good way of distracting a nurse at a mental hospital when you are in a tricky situation.
#DeanWinchester in #Supernatural pulles his pants down, arms up and yelles PUDDING, while flapping his penis around. Since he and his brother was undercover in a mental hospital, this was quite normal so the nurse didn't quiestion why they were in the mortuary.
And after that we all learned that crazy works.

A severe drought is gripping California and authorities in the country's number one agriculture state are turning off the water to thousands of farms.
Click the player to watch the CBN News report followed by Pat Robertson's comments on the drought.
Officials say the water will be shut off for at least a two-week period starting March 1.
Authorities have not had to make such a drastic move for more than 15 years.
Having no water provided by the state could force farmers to use more expensive well water to grow their crops.
That extra expense will be passed on to consumers around the country, who will have to pay more for fruits and vegetables.

Beach Patrol
this wiki
Beach Patrol is a side mission in Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories located at Washington Beach.
The mission is triggered by entering a parked red BF Injection by a lifeguard station, only available upon completing storyline mission From Zero to Hero. There are three different types of the mission and each one can come at any random occasion. The player has to complete 15 levels and after reaching each fifth level, the game saves the progressed checkpoint for the next time the mission is started.
Save the Swimmers
On this odd job, there are swimmers in the seas who have trouble and need to be rescued. The player has to drive towards the Coastguard boat with another person throwing lifebuoys as the player docks the boat next to the swimmers needing help and doing a drive-by like throw. After the third level, there is a three minute time limit for each level with three swimmers needing help before drowning. This is also the only time a Coastguard is seen throughout the game. Canceling the mission transports the player back to the BF Injection's parked location. This one is probably the easiest mission out of all three, as there is usually ample time to travel between swimmers, and they're often grouped together. The main danger is avoiding collisions with other boats or running aground.
Biker gang
On this mini-game, the player has to attack gangs of bikers on Sanchez bikes who are spotted panicking people on the beach. Each target can be "removed" by either performing a drive-by or crashing into them leading them to fall. Killing them is not necessary and the player can continue as long as the biker has dismounted. This one is the most time consuming out of the three different "Beach Patrol" games due to the player having to drive all the way from the southern Ocean Beach part to the northern section of the beach. The bikers can be up to four and not more than that. As police officers on foot patrol the beach, there is a risk of attaining a wanted level if a dismount or drive-by is witnessed or if the player runs over people on the beach.
An Ambulance is stuck on a wall and the paramedic driver needs someone to help him save the injured people on the beach. The injured people can get up to three and not more. This mini-game can be frustrating due to the amount of pedestrians on the beach and the time limit can make the player panic, thus running over pedestrians and gaining police attention. While the paramedic personnel is bringing the injured people to life, the player has to park beside him and this gives the police a good chance to bust the player, thus making it harder.
The rewards for completing 15 levels of this side mission are $1,500 and unlimited stamina when in the water, allowing the player to swim indefinitely and removing the danger of being wasted by drowning. The player will also be able to purchase a bulletproof BF Injection from Sunshine Autos for $4,000 and gets one step closer to 100% completion.
- Entering the BF Injection within sight of a VCPD officer will result in a one-star wanted level. This usually isn't an issue for the swimmer or gang missions, but as noted above can be an issue if the mission starts with a paramedic mission.
- It's possible to complete this mission without having to experience all three forms of mission. For example, one might get a few levels of dealing with gangs, and then spend the rest of the levels rescuing swimmers. This may be impacted by whether the player chooses to suspend the mission after a checkpoint.
- Although Victor is returned to shore after completing the swimmer rescue missions, he gets to keep the BF Injection if he finishes or suspends the other two missions. To restart the mission, however, a fresh BF needs to be obtained from the lifeguard shack.

The Summerville girls basketball team edged out Wando 36-33 in the Green Waves season opener.
We feel fortunate, Summerville coach Matt Legare said. You have to credit Wando for dictating the tempo for much of the game, but we were resilient and able to turn up the pressure in a few key stretches. That was probably the difference in the game.
Things got off to a slow start as the teams battled to a 12-all tie three-fourths of the way through the opening half. Summervilles JaKaylah Ravenell then hit a jumper to kick off a Wave surge and Summerville took a 17-12 advantage into the third period.
Wando rallied to enter the final period ahead 23-22. Summerville regained the lead but just inside the two-minute mark Wando tied the game at 31-all.
Ashley Green swapped baskets with a Wando player and Zuri Green sank a couple of free throws to give Summerville a two-point lead. Then both teams blew opportunities at the free-throw line.
The game was iced when Tinara Brown made a free throw with 9.6 seconds remaining and Ashley Green forced a turnover on Wandos ensuing possession.
We are not as good a team as we are capable of being right now, so we are looking forward to getting better as the season goes on, Legare said.
Summerville travels to Berkeley County Nov. 30. The Waves next home game on Dec. 7 is also against the Lady Stags.
Summerville (36): Ashley Green 10, Chapman 7, Z. Green 4, Ravanell 4, Padgett 3, Brown 3, Aldridge 1, Capers 4
Wando (33): Kimberly Smalls 11, Stasky 8, Woods 7, Akers 3, Duvernay 3, Stewart 1.

Americans shorter on average than EuropeansBreaking News
The data show that Americans, who in the words of a recent paper by the economic historian John Komlos and Benjamin Lauderdale in Social Science Quarterly, were ''tallest in the world between colonial times and the middle of the 20th century,'' have now ''become shorter (and fatter) than Western and Northern Europeans. In fact, the U.S. population is currently at the bottom end of the height distribution in advanced industrial countries.''
This is not a trivial matter. As the paper says, ''height is indicative of how well the human organism thrives in its socioeconomic environment.'' There's a whole discipline of ''anthropometric history'' that uses evidence on heights to assess changes in social conditions.
For example, nothing demonstrates the harsh class distinctions of Britain in the age of Dickens better than the 9-inch height gap between 15-year-old students at Sandhurst, the elite military academy, and their counterparts at the working-class Marine School. The dismal working and living conditions of urban Americans during the Gilded Age were reflected in a 1-1/2 inch decline in the average height of men born in 1890, compared with those born in 1830. Americans born after 1920 were the first industrial generation to regain preindustrial stature.
So what is America's modern height lag telling us?
There is normally a strong association between per capita income and a country's average height. By that standard, Americans should be taller than Europeans: U.S. per capita G.D.P. is higher than that of any other major economy. But since the middle of the 20th century, something has caused Americans to grow richer without growing significantly taller...

Writing a Business Plan Will Give You a Realistic Picture of Your Enterprise
Staten Island's only community-based commercial bank highlights the importance of business plans
STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. – Are you about to start a commercial venture? Victory State Bank recommends you begin with a business plan.
Is a business plan a necessity? The U.S. Small Business Administration has said the importance of a comprehensive, thoughtful business plan cannot be overemphasized.
Many factors critical to business success depend upon your plan: Outside funding, credit from suppliers, management of your operation and finances, promotion and marketing of your business, and achievement of your goals and objectives.
Some people assume that if they are not going to seek financial support from lenders or investors to open their business that they don't need to prepare a business plan, but every business should have one.
Writing a business plan serves as a roadmap for your venture when you're starting out.
It can help you figure out many key business elements, including:
- What you will need to do to get started and what resources (time, money, etc.) you will need to expend
- What it will take for your business to make a profit and how long that will take
- What information potential customers, vendors and investors will need to know in order for you to market your business effectively
Writing your business plan also forces you to think about your business objectively. When you're done, you will have a more realistic idea of the effort it will require and whether it's a venture you want to pursue at this time.
Don't be intimidated
The process of sitting down and writing out a business plan could spark your creativity and lead you to new business strategies you may not have considered previously. You'll also find that having your business goals written down enables you to refer to them at any time. This will ensure you don't lose sight of your original focus once you do start your business.

Fire marshals searching for cause of Tarrant County house explosion, fire
Tarrant County fire marshals responded to a home explosion in the 6500 block of Appian Way near Azle Tuesday evening.
Marshals received the call of the explosion and a fire at a one-story wood frame house by Texas State Highway 199 around 4:30 p.m..
The explosion blew the walls out about 150 feet from the sides of the house, said Tarrant County Fire Marshal Randy Renois.
The cause of the explosion is undetermined, though authorities suspect it might have been a gas leak. There is a propane gas tank at the scene, but Renois said it's unclear whether it caused the explosion.
The homeowner was not there at the time of the explosion, but at least one dog died in the house, Renois said.
A rental house on the property was not damaged.
Claire Cardona contributed to this report.

Throughout every stage, and for each individual child, there are those moments and memories that we will remember with happiness. There are so many special times, when we know that God has blessed, led and grown our children, in spite of our shortcomings and mistakes. 3 John 1:4 says, "I have no greater joy than to hear that my children are walking in the truth." What a blessing and unmatched joy that truly is. I can claim that same joy, with all of my children and it is by no credit to me or my husband, but by God's overwhelming grace. It is with great delight, then, that I share the following letter with you. It is from our third daughter, Jenna. I ask that you would prayerfully consider her words and join me in praying for and supporting her in this adventure that God is sending her on.
With love and great appreciation,
Hello. 🙂
I'm Jenna Embree, and I want to share a bit with you about what God is doing in my life.
For a year-and-a-half, now, I've been staying busy, working at a chiropractic office in good old Seward, NE. It's been such a blessing to work there. But for the last several years, I've felt the strong desire to work in youth ministry. So when I'm not busy at work, I've been trying to get involved with youth ministry, wherever I can. I was able to help out with VBS – as well as help a friend teach 1st grade Sunday school, last summer and both were an adventure. 🙂 Through most of high school, I helped out with the AWANA program at our church – but this past year, after a lot of prayer and consideration, I decided to take a break from that, and I've been helping with the Jr. High ministry, working as a youth leader. It's been awesome to work with the Jr. High students and see God working in and through them. I've learned so much about working with youth, and now, an exciting mission's opportunity has come up working with youth in New Orleans alongside Urban Impact Ministries!
Urban Impact Ministries was founded in 1989 by Glen Schrieber, who followed God to minister to the youth and families of Central City New Orleans. The initial recreation outreach to kids in the housing projects quickly sparked a Bible study for junior high students and then high school students. Pastor John Gerhardt and his wife, Wendy, joined the ministry in 1991, and in 1998 ministry to whole families became more prevalent when Castle Rock Community Church was founded.
Pre-Katrina, a few of the things the ministry offered were an after school reading program, growing youth nights for junior high and high school students, youth drumline and Wednesday night Bible study for adults. Following the storm UIM partnered with EFCA Touch Global to work to rebuild the city. Now the ministry offers Tuesday night homework help, youth nights and open court every Friday and Saturday night.
I had heard a little bit about Urban Impact through people in our Church who had personally been involved with the ministry, but I didn't really know what it was, until the summer of my junior year when my youth group was able to go to New Orleans for a week. I fell in love with the ministry and people right away. It was an awesome learning experience. We were able to serve in a lot of ways, but the main ones, were helping with VBS and Challenge Circle. For Challenge Circle we'd go out to the projects, and kids from the neighborhood would come out and we'd play games, much like AWANA games. It's an awesome outreach tool and each game has cheers to go along with it, which teach the kids about Jesus, without them even realizing it. If you aren't familiar with AWANA, it's a fun club for the kids to come memorize Bible verses, play games and learn about Jesus.
Becoming an intern was on my mind as soon as we left New Orleans, that summer. My friends and I were all pretty pumped from the trip and talked about a lot of us going back, as though it were a sure thing. But I wasn't quite old enough yet, and by the time I was, the part of me I like to call the "realist" had kicked in. Now that the hype was over, I spent a lot of time making excuses as to why I shouldn't go back to intern — the time – the money – I wasn't really sure how excited my parents would be about the idea – I wasn't sure what that would mean for my job – I was worried I wouldn't do well in a leadership position… etc. I spent a lot time praying my senior year, that God would take my will and make it match His, and that I would desire the things He desires for me.
After that, New Orleans started popping up everywhere in my life. People would randomly ask me if I was interning or tell me that I should, for no apparent reason. I followed the blogs of a couple guys from our church, who had gone down to intern that summer and kept up to date on what was going on with the ministry all summer long. I remember seeing the pictures that the intern's would post of the kids and being so excited to see that some of them who had maybe thought they were too cool for it the year before, had actually decided to continue. To see the kids in their videos singing and saying cheers and learning about God, really touched my heart. And with a lot of prayer and wise counsel, I decided that this might be something that was on my heart for a reason. And that if this whole time I've praying that God would make my desires match His, that maybe, if I desire to do something to honor and serve Him, I should probably jump on that. I needed to learn to have more faith, risk things for God, and be willing to be stretched out of my comfort zone. God has really blessed me a great deal since coming to that realization. For instance – my parents ended up being very supportive, my boss also ended being very supportive and I'm actually going to have a job when I come home, (which is awesome, and something I wasn't really counting on.) Plus, I've had numerous opportunities to work in ministry this year – like getting to work as a leader for the Jr. High kids in our church. It's given me some of the experience and confidence I need to go serve in New Orleans.
I hope to not only share the gospel with the kids from New Orleans, but also with the high school groups that will come down to help us out. Having been part of one of those groups, myself, I understand how much they're going to learn and how life changing it might end up being for some of them. I'm excited to learn more about working in a leadership position and hope to bring a lot of what I learn back, to use within my own Church. I know that many of these kids just need to be shown the unconditional love of Christ and I'm hoping that God will use all of us working down there this summer to show them just that. I remember going to the park for challenge circle and watching a 6 year old take care of a 2 year old. I just couldn't believe anyone would send a 6 year old out on their own to go play with a bunch of strangers, much less put them in charge of an even younger child. There were so many little people who were just too mature for their own good, so many different kids from different backgrounds — some backgrounds worse than others, but they all just really need someone to let them be a kid and love them. It's amazing how much you can light up their life by just giving them the time of day. They all love anyone and everyone. No questions asked. And the relationships you develop with the kids are just another way God uses those working down there to share his love and the gospel with them.
I'm not certain what all God has planned for me this summer. I know there are a lot of things that will take me pretty far outside of my comfort zone and that the work won't be easy, but I'm excited to see the ways He plans to use them to help develop me as a teacher and a leader. I want to be stretched in my faith and grow in my relationship with God.
Now on to the point – Why am I telling you all this? I've been asked to raise $5,000 to cover my expenses, as well as my salary, during this summer internship. If you are interested in supporting me financially and/or prayerfully – I would greatly appreciate it! I've already been so wonderfully blessed and have been able to raise $2,168.33 of the $5,000 of my support money, and I'm SO very thankful. But, I still need $2831.67 to be able to reach my goal. Please don't feel any obligation to give. I definitely don't want to guilt anyone. But I do ask that you'd pray about what the Lord might have you give or not give. It says in 2 Corinthians 9:7 "Each man should give what he has decided in his heart to give. Not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver."
But more than anything – I ask for your prayer support. I know I'm going to need it. : D
In order to be able to accomplish my goals for the summer, would you prayerfully consider two things?
- Becoming a faithful prayer supporter.
- Becoming a financial partner.
I have attached a link to the response card, pictured below, which you can use to partner with me. Clicking the picture will open a printable pdf file. All financial gifts are tax-deductible, checks should be made payable to Urban Impact Ministries and please write Jenna Embree on the memo line of your check. You can click the picture, print it out and send it along with your check to…

If you have any questions, or would like to know more about what I'm going to be doing this summer, please don't hesitate to contact me at 402-641-8457 or e-mail me at firstname.lastname@example.com. Or if you'd just like update on what's going on this summer, send me your email and I will try and a get a newsletter sent out a couple times during my stay. 🙂
Thanks so much for your time, love, and support!
In Christ,
Jenna Embree 🙂

ALLENDALE, MI – Grand Valley State expects to be going to the NCAA Division II playoffs for the first time since 2010 after beating Saginaw Valley State at its own game Saturday.
The Lakers had seven plays of 20 yards or more, got two big special teams plays and the defense contained the Cardinals high-powered offense for a 49-34 victory in the season finale before 11,888 at Lubbers Stadium.
After the final play, the Lakers rushed toward midfield, joined by a stream of students from both corners of the end zone.
They celebrated with good reason, too, as the team won the Battle of the Valleys, avenged last year's loss that knocked them from the playoffs last season, and raised hopes of ending a playoff drought that has dogged a program used to long playoff runs.
Related: Boxscore from the game
"It feels good. It feels good that it's this group," coach Matt Mitchell said after win. "I think our coaching staff likes coaching this group. This is a great group of kids of high character and I am glad we get to extend our season and keep coaching them because they deserve it."
MORE: The link for the NCAA Division II playoff pairing show at 5 p.m. Sunday.
The Lakers finished the regular season 9-2 and third in the GLIAC North at 7-2. But they were No. 5 in their region and should climb with the victory over No. 3 Saginaw Valley State (9-2, 9-1 GLIAC).
Twenty-four teams, the top six from the four regions, qualify for the postseason.
Saginaw Valley State entered the game as the more explosive team, averaging 41 points and 485 yards a game. And the Cardinals scored, but it took long drives that, in the second half, ate up the clock.They held the ball seven minutes more in the second half.
"They played a good, physical game and we just couldn't get the big plays when we needed them," Cardinals coach Jim Collins said. "They defended (received Jeff) Janis well."
It came at a cost, too. The Lakers defense was on the field for 96 plays.
"We have some tired guys, we have five guys playing four spots on the DL (because of injuries) and I'm proud of those guys," Mitchell said of Hunter Charneski, Matt Mosley, Isiah Dunning, De'Ondre Hogan and Lucas Kozuch.
Defensive tackle Frank Boenzi went out with a knee injury late in the first quarter and didn't return.
"They had a lot of reps," Mitchell said. "But they had a bend-but-don't break attitude."
Quarterback Jonathon Jennings completed 26 of 46 passes for 306 yards and no touchdowns for the first time this season. He ran for three and rushed for 121 yards.
Receiver Jeff Janis, who has scouts on hand, caught 10 passes, but just 12.2 yards a catch and was held out of the end zone. He came in averaging 21 yards a catch.
The Lakers slowly pulled away in the second half after a 21-20 halftime lead. Chris Robinson scored from 9 yards out on the first possession and, after the Cardinals answered with a 1-yard run from former Lakers running back Norman Shuford, the Lakers responded with a 76-yard kickoff return for a touchdown by Erik Thompson.
The following series, Alton Voss blocked a punt on the Cardinals 24. First play, running back Kirk Spencer, making his first appearance in four weeks and still with a cast on his left hand, caught a 24-yard touchdown pass from Heath Parling to put the Lakers up 42-27.
Parling went 14 of 26 for 274 yards and four touchdowns. Jamie Potts caught five for 112 and two touchdowns.
The Cardinals scored once more, but it took 17 plays and six minutes off the clock.

Sigh! Rahul Goes To CII
Rahul Gandhi speaks. Did he bore, impress or simply amuse? Here's what media experts and political watchers thought.
With inputs from Aastha Manocha, Somi Das and Satyen Rao
It was Rahul baba's day out today. And he was trooped out in his Thursday best to address the annual general meeting of the Confederation of Indian Industry. His first public speech at a major business event – and what a killer speech it was.
Dimpled, clean shaven, togged out in a white kurta pajama. Thank god he at least has his good looks. Because oration is obviously not his key skill set. I have to say I had full faith that Rahul's Yoda and Jabba The Hutt a.k.a.Raghuram Rajan and Sibal would have burnt the midnight oil writing out the bestest speech ever for the little prince. And tutored him to be able to answer every question. But Rahul showed us that he writes his own speeches. And somewhere deep within Rashtrapati Bhawan we heard a deep chuckle.
So what did we learn about Rahul Gandhi from his speech today.
- His role model is Noah.To paraphrase, he is building a boat for people in his constituency. We are assuming it will be called Rahul's Ark. The boat will catch the tide we've been told. To quote, "A rising tide raises all boats, but you need a boat to rise with the tide, what does he who does not have a boat do".
- Main aur Montek. That Rahul loves Montek was made obvious by the fact that he took Montek's name, not once, not twice – but five times at last count.
- His other role model is Mother Teresa. After all, as Rahul said – "I am somebody who spends a lot of time with poor people".
- He likes meeting the common man. And he knows just how to speak to them. "So I went to a jhuggi jhopri and there was a woman there. So I said, 'what's happening? What's going on?' She was 25 and had two kids. One of the kids wanted to be an IAS officer. I looked at the mother and told her, 'It's not happening'." After which we are assuming the mother voted for the BJP.
- He also showed that he's not just a hands-on politician, he's also a handsy one. When elaborating the difference between China and India, Rahul related a story about when he went to China and the Chinese Prime Minister's secretary walked up to him and told him that China was more powerful than India. He then held the hand of an unsuspecting man – who happened to be on the stage – to show China's power. And then placed his arm around the shoulders of the man to show India's way of displaying its power. As he said, "Boss, our environment is not simple, we cannot give you simple answers".
- If he's not mixing with the "poor", he's travelling to foreign locales to meet foreign friends who then feature in his analogies. From China to Spain to the land of milk and honey, his analogies were peppered with references to "when I was in Spain…France…Timbuktu…". Guess who's not getting the middle class vote.
- And finally, the Rahul lexicon – includes "Boss, Montek, poor, boat, system, pilot, beehive, US".
But don't go by what we said and thought. We spoke to some politico watchers and expert analysts and got their views on Rahul's speech. Here's what they had to say:
Bhupendra Chaubey, CNN IBN National Bureau Chief – High on intention, low on practicality. High on words, low on implementation.
Mihir Sharma, Business Standard – He's not a good speechmaker. He's improved a little but he still has only one thing to say – which is about giving voice to people and decentralisation.
Hartosh Bal, Political Editor Open –It's a manager's speech not that of a politician or a statesman. It deals in managerial specifics and doesn't show a political vision. It leaves me distinctly unimpressed.
IndrajitHazra, Journalist – Watching a clean-shaven Rahul addressing the CII was seeing him tackle "non-Real India" for a change. He patted India Inc. on its back for having "changed" India before going on to tell them what they wanted to hear: more private sector participation is needed for infrastructure development. He essentially made the pitch that his party (as opposed to the UPA government) is not only obsessed about schemes like NREGA but is also interested in old-style capital and wealth creation. His comment about "one person" — I wonder who? — not being able to change the system but power has to be given to India's "billion" to solve problems made me smile considering that such clarity could begin at home within the party he's vice-president of. I had the distinct feeling that Rahul was trying to make this his version of Swami Vivekananda's Chicago speech. It was certainly as mystical.
Sanjay Jha, Founder Hamara Congress website (whose caller tune is a clear give-away of his feelings about Rahul's speech –"Na meinsamjha, namein ye jaana, jobhitumne ye kahahai senorita")– An honest speech,a visionary and a powerful speech. He was very statesmanlike and his ideas of inclusive growth was based on his personal travels. Liked the point on how the government and corporate sector needs to work together. His speech combined positive elements.
Manu Joseph, Editor Open – As an orator, Rahul Gandhi is as boring as Modi and evidently less talented, but I thought Rahul was impressive during the question-and-answer session. I can say without any ambiguity, even though it is naive for a journalist to say this, I believe that Rahul means every word he utters. It is a rare endearing quality in an Indian politician. I don't know why he reminds me of Aamir Khan, but he does. The intense,decent bore, perhaps.
Sreenivasan Jain, Managing Editor NDTV – Fairly unimpressive.Not expected from someone embedded in the system. It's a trend with Rahul. He projects himself with not being a part of the system and that's not convincing at all.
All we can say is that this made for the most riveting hour of news television in a long while.
All our articles are run through a software to avoid the possibility of unattributed work finding its way into Newslaundry.

There was a discussion on T-score already on the Corpora list.

I enclose the post by Jem Clear, it's a good one.

From: Jem Clear <email@example.com> Sender: email@example.com To: firstname.lastname@example.com Subject: Re: Corpora: T-score in collocational analysis Date: Sun, 12 Dec 1999 17:19:23 GMT
Let me put Tony Berber Sardinha and Gordon and Pam Cain out of their misery! The URL that Gordon and Pam Cain referred to won't bring up the bit of text they were hoping to find. But I reproduce it here below in its entirety. It's very short and it was written off the top of my head as an aid to people who use the CobuildDirect corpus facilities and who used to email me asking "Er.... what are those MI and t-score numbers that appear on the screen when I ask for collocations?"
Noe of what follows is my own: it is a potted summary of what I understood from Ken Church, from whom I got the t-score formula. Ken Church and Bill Gale (et al) used this statistic over a decade ago and published papers on its use. Annoyingly (in this new cyber world) I routinely refer people to
Church, K.W., W.Gale, P.W.Hanks, D. Hindle "Using Statistics in Lexical Analysis" in Uri Zernik (ed.) <italic>Lexical Acquisition: Using On-line Resources to Build a Lexicon</italic>. Hillsdale: Lawrence Erlbaum, 1991.
and I routinely get a reply that goes like "Oh, I can't seem to find this paper -- do you know anywhere else I can read up about this MI and t-score stuff?". Partly for this reason I wrote the lightweight (and possibly inaccurate) "quick guide" below. I am *not* a statistician.
Jem Clear Electronic Development Director phone: +44 (0)121-414-3926 Collins Dictionaries fax: +44 (0)121-414-6203 Westmere, 50 Edgbaston Park Road email: firstname.lastname@example.com Birmingham, B15 2RX, UK WWW: www.cobuild.collins.co.uk ----------
The two statistical measures of significance which are used by the collocations feature of the CobuildDirect service are explained below in layman's terms. It is not really possible to explain the complete statistical background to the use of Mutual Information and t-scores here.
The output you see will be in four columns. The first column lists each collocate. The second column shows the total independent frequency of that collocate in the corpus. The third column shows the frequency with which the node and the collocate appear together (i.e. withing the specified span) in the corpus. The fourth column shows the statistical significance score (either Mutual Information or t-score as selected by the user). The collocates are listed in descending order of significance.
Let us work through some example data (taken from a 20m word corpus) for the word "post".
It co-occurs with many words, among which are "the", "office" and "mortem".
The observable facts are that "post" has an overall corpus freq of 2579 (let's refer to this as f(post)=2579) and also
f(office) = 5237 f(the) = 1019262 f(mortem) = 51
We also observe the number of times these words co-occurred with "post" (for shorthand I'll write j(the) = 1583 to mean that "the" occurred with "post" 1583 times: this is the "joint" frequency). So
j(the) = 1583 j(office) = 297 j(mortem) = 51
Now if we were to list the collocates of "post' by raw frequency of co-occurrence we would order them according to j(x), as above. Of course, a full collocation listing of "post" in this form would have many other words with intermediate frequencies -- we are just focussing on these three words for the moment. But the ordering shown above doesn't tell us anything much about the strength of association between "post" and these other words: it is simply a reflection of the basic overall frequency of the collocating words (i.e. "the" is much more frequent than "office" which is much more frequent than "mortem"). We just showed that in the f(x) list! This is true in general: ordering collocates by j(x) simply places words like "the", "a", "of", "to" at the top of every collocate list. What we would like to know is
------------------------------------------------------------------------ IMPORTANT QUESTION: to what extent does the word "post" condition its lexical environment by selecting particular words with which it will co-occur? ------------------------------------------------------------------------
We can compare the relative frequencies of what we observed with what we would expect under the null hypothesis:
------------------------------------------------------------------------ NULL HYPOTHESIS: the word "post" has no effect whatsoever on its lexical environment and the frequencies of words surrounding "post" will be exactly (give or take random fluctuation) the same as they would be if "post" were present or not. ------------------------------------------------------------------------
That is, if "the" has an overall relative frequency of 1 in 20 (about 1m occurrences in a 20m word corpus -- see f(the) above) then we can expect "the" to occur with the same relative frequency in a subset of the corpus which is the 4 words either side of "post": hence under the null hypothesis we would expect j(the) to be
( f(post) * span ) * relative_freq(the)
which is
(2579 * 8) * (1 / 20) = 20632 / 20 = 1031
So under the null hypothesis we would expect j(the) to be 1031. We actually observed j(the) to be 1583, which is rather higher, and we could simply express the difference as ratio (of observed to expected joint frequency) thus:
This is the Mutual Information score and it expresses the extent to which observed frequency of co-occurrence differs from expected (where we mean "expected under the null hypothesis"). Of course, big differences indicate massive divergence from the null hypothesis and indicate that "post" is exerting a strong influence over its lexical environment.
BUT BUT BUT! there is Big Problem with Mutual Information: suppose the word "egregious" appears just once with "post" (not an unreasonable event) in the corpus. And "egregious" may have a very low overall freq:
f(egregious) = 3
Now we carry out the sums to calculate the expected j(egregious) figure. I can assure you it will be a small number! It is:
( f(post) * span ) * relative_freq(egregious)
(2579 * 8) * ( 3 / 20000000)
= 0.0030948
Now you'll see that even if "egregious" occurs just once in the vicinity of "post" the observed j(egregious) will be 323 times more than the expected joint frequency, and the mutual information value will be high. Common sense tells us that since words cannot appear 0.0030948 times -- they either occur zero or one times, nothing in between -- that claiming that "post"+"egregious" is a significant collocation is rather dubious.
In general, the comparison of observed j(x) and expected j(x) will be very unreliable when values of j(x) are low; this is common sense, too. Just because I've seen these two words together once in 20m words doesn't give me much confidence that they are strongly associated: I'd need to see them together several times at least before I could start to feel at all secure in claiming that they have some sort of significant association.
Now here comes T-score. We can calculate a second-order statistic which is, crudely, this:
------------------------------------------------------------------------ IMPORTANT QUESTION: how confident can I be that the association that I've measured between "post" and "egregious" is true and not due to the vagaries of chance? ------------------------------------------------------------------------
T-score answers this question. It takes account of the size of j(x) and weights its value accordingly. A high T-score says: it is safe (very safe/pretty safe/extremely secure etc according to value) to claim that there is some non-random association between these two words.
So t-scores are higher when the figure j(x) is higher. In the case of "egregious" we would get a very low t-score. In the case of "the" the t-score might be quite high, but not huge because "the" doesn't have that strong an association with "post". "office" gets a really high t-score because not only is the observed j(office) way higher than expected, but we seen a goodly number of such co-occurrences, enough to be pretty damn sure that this can't be due to some freak of chance.
In practical terms, raw frequency or j(x) won't tell you much at all about collocation: you'll simply discover what you already knew that "the" is a *very* frequenct word and seems to co-occur with just about everything. MI is the proper measure of strength of association: if the MI score is high, then observed j(x) is massively greater then expected, BUT you've got to watch out for the low j(x) frequencies because these are very likely to be freaks of chance, not consistent trends. t-score is best of the lot, because it highlights those collocations where j(x) is high enough not to be unreliable and where the strength of association is distinctly measurable.
Try the different measures: you'll soon see the difference. Raw freq often picks out the obvious collocates ("post office" "side effect") but you have no way of distinguishing these objectively from frequent non collocations (like "the effect" "an effect" "effect is" "effect it" etc). MI will highlight the technical terms, oddities, weirdos, totally fixed phrases, etc ("post mortem" "Laurens van der Post" "post-menopausal" "prepaid post"/"post prepaid" "post-grad") T-score will get you significant collocates which have occurred frequently ("post office" "Washington Post" "post-war", "by post" "the post").
If a collocate appears in the top of both MI and t-score lists it is clearly a humdinger of a collocate, rock-solid, typical, frequent, strongly associated with its node word, recurrent, reliable, etc etc etc.

GGSB MIB at De Broc – Programme Structure
The MIB (Master in International Business) programme is a two-year course designed and awarded by Grenoble Graduate School of Business (GGSB). GGSB is one of Europe's most prestigious business schools, triple accredited by AMBA , EQUIS and AACSB and ranked by the Economist and Business Week.
The programme is a comprehensive examination of general management topics, studied from an international perspective. There is a strong focus on knowledge and skills required by managers in both private and public sectors internationally. Core management techniques are analysed and approached from different perspectives to understand their application on a global scale.
Foreign language skills are essential to succeed in business today, and this programme offers the opportunity to learn an additional language. The programme requires a full time commitment from students during the first year of study, but is followed by a period of up to one year to complete the Final Management Project. Students can work on this project from anywhere in the world, whether taking on an internship, full time employment, or utilizing the full time available to complete the project.
The MIB (Master in International Business), previously offered at London School of Business and Finance (LSBF), is now being delivered at De Broc School of Business. This school is the business faculty of The University of Law, which is part of the Global University Systems (GUS) group alongside LSBF.
In line with GGSB's objectives of offering students a career-focused innovative education, students on this programme may choose to devote up to six months to company-based learning, either in the form of a work placement or a full-time paid internship.*
*Please note, in order to devote up to six months to company-based learning, you need to have the right to work in the UK.
The company-based learning element of the degree will be assessed as a part of the students' final management project, allowing students to actively apply the knowledge and skills gained as a part of their studies in the work place.
Students may choose to devote up to six months of their course on an immersive company-based experience.
Programme Structure

Accounting within any market is affected by international developments, and this module offers an introduction to both accounting and financial reporting in a multinational environment. Students' knowledge of accounting will be expanded with an international approach to the factors that influence the development of accounting and reporting around the world. This module prepares graduates for effectively reading and interpreting financial statements.
The aim of this module is to familiarise students with the fundamentals of both micro and macro-economics and their relation to international trade. One of the most important decisions faced by managers of corporations is the selection and financing of investment projects. Students will be introduced to the techniques used to evaluate investments from an international perspective.
The development, implementation, and management of Information Systems within an organisation is critical to the success of business objectives. Students will be introduced to the issues that arise with the globalisation of trade and the growing complexities of internet-based systems, learning to address the challenges of constantly changing information needs.
Students will learn how to understand the symptoms and deal with the root causes of a problem. The development of a framework for decision-making will be facilitated through discussions of strategic planning, management, and analysis. The module helps students practise presenting and defending solutions and executing strategic decision in uncertain situations.
This module will help students become familiar with the legal aspects of international business and to apply legal concepts to genuine business situations. Students will study the impact of regulations on international business and how strategies are developed and how foreign legislation is considered.
Globalisation is a growing feature of modern business and managers of both international and domestic organisations must have the knowledge and skills necessary to integrate themselves within the international market. Although multinationals have greater opportunity in terms of diversification and financing sources, there are also greater risks involved such as exchange rate fluctuations and political instability.
Students are required to learn the basics of French and to use the language in accordance with business. If students already speak French, alternative languages are offered.
The MIB (Master in International Business) programme delivers a comprehensive study of the fundamental concepts in international business, preparing those with no prior experience for career success with major international businesses.

FTC Gets Tons of Complaints Against Dating Sites
The FTC has been in the news lately in the performance marketing industry, but it turns out there is one industry that is really receiving a lot of complaints: the dating industry. According to a recent Freedom of Information Act request, it seems that in the last few years thousands and consumers have received thousands of complaints against dating sites.
While a lot of those complaints were about consumers being scammed by other users trying to get them to send money or complaints about billing practices, it seems that an unusual amount of complaints were about a common issue with dating: no one wanted to go out with some of the users.
Yes, the FTC has received complaints from consumers that can't get dates, even on dating sites. For whatever reason, people have decided to turn to a government agency to complain that basically that they were too ugly or too uninteresting to get dates from a variety of sites.
One user complained to the FTC about eHarmony, saying that "Out of thousands of lesbians across the United States nobody sent me a hello or wonk [sic]." Rejection sucks, but turning to a Federal Agency to help you with your dating problems seem a little excessive, no?
This however does bring up a question about consumers in general and the role of the FTC. Many people in the online advertising industry complain that the FTC is turning into a mommy agency, that investigates almost everything including things that should be sort of obvious.
If people think the Government should protect them from bad dating experiences, no wonder they complain about everything else under the sun. In this day in age, it amazes me that with the ability to research anything on the internet, to look at customer reviews, that anyone buys anything without doing proper research. Consumers really do act like they are children, and don't understand that not every product does exactly what it says it will do, and the guy from Nigeria isn't really interested in sending you five-million dollars via email.
I'm not sure to blame our education system or the crap children grow up watching on TV, but its become really, really clear that a large percentage of the population is just plain idiots who would probably die of starvation if there wasn't McDonalds to stick things in a box that they can easily shove in their face. While for most of us, it seems obvious that you shouldn't trust everyone at what they say, others really believe it's the job of the Government to protect them even from heartbreak. Seriously?
2013-03-22 at 15:11
"I'm not sure to blame our education system or the crap children grow up watching on TV…"
While I do worry about 'the next generation' I think that most of the people sending complaints to the FTC are our generation or our parent's generation. Can't blame t.v. on this one :-/
However, I did find your comments about those complaining about not being able to find a date on a dating site, very humorous and TRUE! Where does it end?? AAAHHH!!!! (shouts loudly and pulls hair)
2013-03-22 at 22:02
Most (ie. not in the USA) of world's population read a report about the FTC getting such complaints would shrug their shoulders and think "Stoopid Americans". And we shudder because we suddenly realise that they can't get a date, they complain to the FTC and THEY VOTE!
But this sort of thing is fairly harmless. If you want to learn up about real nutjobs listen to Coast to Coast.
2013-03-24 at 06:33
Well you've put it right stoooopid Americans! Where else can such a thing happen???
2013-03-23 at 23:36
Wow, someone complaining about eHarmony? Tell em to try JustHookUp. Hahaha.
2013-03-24 at 09:25
These people are impossible. They are already grown up and they are living the life they want. They shouldn't bother the government of their love life. There are still a lot more important things to deal with.
2013-03-25 at 04:56
I heard that most men complain about Dating sites who offers dates with Slavonic girls. Men have to pay to talk or write to a girl and when you pay all girls are bombing you with letters that you have to pay to read too. And in practice, ерыу girls get money from the site to make poor Americal men write and fall in love with them. And 10 out of 9 will stay happy with his girl..
2013-03-25 at 05:57
Man that is something else!
They are out of control and need to wake up
and smell the coffee!
2013-03-25 at 10:57
Guys in the "average american consumers defense" and in the defense of the FTC, most dating sites pushed by the affiliate world are bogus and are 80-90% virtual vixens. They engage in unfair and unscrupulus business practices, as well as over charging the user for the experience.
2013-03-25 at 10:59
Dating sites were terrible back in the day before I switched to better methods. Maybe they have gotten better. I thought Facebook was the place that everyone went today to get a date. But then again, I have been out of the picture for some time.
2013-03-25 at 11:38
GOOD I hope the FTC gets bombarded by such stupid complaints. Maybe they will wake up and realize that stupid Americans are a bunch of whiners if they don't get their way. If you are stupid enough to buy a rebill diet product or a biz op offer. The FTC should send them all a SLAP IN THE FACE PILL.
Oh a@Lyndsie, you are one HOT BABE, can I get your email? 😉
Thanks for reading.
2013-03-25 at 11:37
Paying for a dating site, much like buying lottery / scratch off tickets, is simply a Stupid-People-Tax.
So it's only natural to complain to the government about paying such taxes 🙂
Now go call Rush Limbaugh's radio show and complain that the government should shut down dating site XYZ and then have Rush call you a slut.
2013-03-25 at 11:59
Nice article. I agree with everything you said. It's scary to realize just how stupid people really are. I believe the FTC was created just for these stupid people. Who in their right mind would get a Payday loan, believe a berry would make them lose weight, or blame the world because they are ugly or boring? Stupid people!
2013-03-25 at 12:48
@Jason, really? Blaming the affiliates and the websites?? I'm sure you can find ways to blame anyone, but I think the customer is the only logical person to blame.
2013-03-29 at 18:20
The FTC was formed in 1914 to investigate and ameliorate commercial abuse against consumers. Today, complaints against Affiliate-related activities completely overshadow those received from dating sites. Affiliate abuse became so widespread that the FTC enacted new rules to prevent egregious deceptive advertising practices including "fake news", unsubstantiated claims, fake celebrity endorsements and fake testimonials. Unintended consequences for bad behavior can indeed be expensive even for those deemed "good guys". http://www.ftc.gov/os/caselist/1023158/121114clickboothstip.pdf
Affiliate Marketing doesn't screw people, people screw people; Honi soit qui mal y pense

Ok,I like this 🙂
"…If people think the Government should protect them from bad dating experiences, no wonder they complain about everything else under the sun. In this day in age, it amazes me that with the ability to research anything on the internet, to look at customer reviews, that anyone buys anything without doing proper research…"

I had a lot of bad experiences by being scammed by ladies on the website and lost some money I do blame others concerned on issuing licences to companies that don't do their homework properly and most of us get caught out in this ordeal. Just some advice to people out there we cannot change this we have to stop using these sites and there would be nothing to worry about If every one would be doing their jobs honest and in good faith this world would be a better place to live in so listen everybody out nobody cares just take care of your self again don't use
dating sites just try and find your soul mate by meeting person to person

I think all of you are stupid. Without government, they wouldn't able to protect consumers from dangerous fake products. Like fake illegal contact lenses that would cause permanent blindness, and is sold on the internet. I have for and against government actions, I am against SOPA bill because it suppresses freedom of speech.


text: For me, most of issues with the crap I dealt with from my mother made me get to where I thought no one would ever love me for who I am. I used to break my back to make EVERYONE happy(except for myself). I never thought I deserved to be happy. I still feel that way at times but I am realizing that I do deserve to be happy. I'm not a bad person, just a bit fucked up is the nicest way to put. I think I'm so nice and a pushover because I know how easily I can go into being the manipulator and I won't do that to anyone. Especially my daughters. I don't want them to have the pain that I have. I have moments where I feel the words that mom used to tell me build up and I could tell them the same things. I do my best to leave the room or I just cry. Like last night, when Clint wouldn't touch me, I didn't cry. Instead, I just rolled over and fell asleep. I've had a terrible headache all day and I keep wondering if it has to do with the stuff from last night.

dont worry i know everyone who reads this will research what Ive said and be blown away and not one of you will have the decency to thank me
this info above is after 30 years of hard core research
When did people shift from having a genius to being a genius? Starting in the 14th century, a genius denoted a guardian spirit, and someone with extraordinary talent was said to have a genius, because his or her gift was thought to be the result of some supernatural help. For example, in a treatise on epic poetry from 1695, the author offers, "That Milton had a Genius equal to Spencer's…" This sense comes from the Latin gignere, which means "to produce," and it lives on in our vocabulary with genies.
In the mid-1600s, however, the meaning began to shift, and people began to call someone with natural ability a genius, someone with an exceptional natural capacity of intellect, not necessarily just a gift from a supernatural friend. An early record of this usage is in John Milton's Eikonoclastes when he writes, "to unsettle the conscience of any knowing Christian, if he could ever aim at a thing so hopeless, and above the genius of his Cleric Elocution." By the end of the 17th century, this usage was common, as in this essay from a 1693 edition of The Bee: "…if your mind is delighted with the genuine touches of nature, which constitutes the true test of genius in poetical composition." This may also have been caused by some confusion with the Latin root ingenium, meaning "inborn qualities," and which gives us words like "ingenious" and "engine."
According to Google nGram, genius peaked in usage in the late 1700s and has been declining steadily since.

Read our previous post about the word hokey.
A motley combination of Anglo-Saxon, Latin, and Germanic dialects, the English language (more or less as we know it) coalesced between the 9th and 13th centuries. Since then, it has continued to import and borrow words and expressions from around the world, and the meanings have mutated. (Awesome and awful once meant nearly the same thing.) Some specimens in the English vocabulary have followed unusually circuitous routes to their place in the contemporary lexicon, and this series, Lexical Investigations, unpacks those words hiding in our midst.

I shall let you know that I do appreciate your hard work. I came to your definition after hearing a Ted Talk referencing these truths.
this all sounds very academic quoting Latin and everything lol it just badluck no one checked to see what the children of noahs son Sem believe about the genie. the Semites are the Arabs and Jews who can claim their lineage back to Sem. Google jinn + nodite and youll fall off your perch.
Nodites are a species who predates man Semites see the earth before man as a scary place inhabited by jinn or fallen angels.
book of Enoch – when Cain was exiled east of Eden to Nod he married the genie Ramona and had Enoch. jinn +human = nephilum
later Noah married the genie from Nod (Cainite) Naamah and she had three nephilum Sem Ham and Japheth. Japheth son was Gomer the king of Gaul and Ham son was Cush the black giant nephilum and leader of the cushites.
jinn dna is the original sin handed down to all of us from Naamah. Naamah is ma.Thats the meaning of life.
today about one in every 20 people secretly have a jinn and they put the jinn first before humans.
Romans were genie worshipers and they believed a genie had possessed the living and was passing info.
genies are highly advanced having stole the technology from heaven fallen angels and can go small sense when they shrink into a bottle
For those confusing latin derived word "Genius" with another word of Arabic root "Al-Jinn", there's A DINSTICT ENGLISH WORD FOR THAT: "GENIE"..
So, guys, do not confuse "Genius" with "genie"…

Eistein was a genius….
An awesome quote by Albert Einstein : "Everybody is a genius. But if you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree, it will live its whole life believing that it is stupid."
e=mc squared
lets take a look at what it actually means
e = energy m= mass c= speed of light
we have our metre from the length of king henrys arm. so that should have nothing to do with amount of stored energy in matter
maths is numbers not ideas
Einstein is a quack many believe this
it should read the amount of stored energy in matteris a very very large number indeed
forget speed of light squared as this is introducing an idea into maths a big big no no
E =m x a really big number
lets keep the speed of light right out of there
as darkness came before light and and the speed of light squared is ridiculous to say the least
hmmm… very lazy to read this long article
It was evolved definitely from the Arabic root " Al-Jinn" . . Please do your homework before you do any more cyber fumbles.
I agree with Ricky. Elizabeth Gilbert makes this point nicely in this engaging talk on this very subject of "genius" in terms of having a genius or being a genius:
This TED talk is the reason I was interested in this post.
Einstein's mother had a genius.
Author Elizabeth Gilbert mention this in her TED talk and i think it was really fascinating how the usage of genius in two different ways has a lot of affect on our psychology! If having a genius than being a genius keeps us sane, then why not try it! Check out the video on Youtube.
@Zakari Hasmiu, no it does not. The word 'genius' comes from the latin word 'gigno,' or ' genui,' which means "to create, or to bring into being." Latin language comes from the Latin people which settled northern Italy about 5,000 years ago, and Greek was a language that greatly influenced Latin. Both of these languages were much older than arabic.
Interesting information, but Einstein was NOT a genius.
Merely a sordid plagiarist who stole the relativity theory from Henri Poincaré – French mathematician and physicist whose lectures Einstein attended.
Those who think Einstein was a genius have NO CLUE who Tesla was – a real genius. If you want to learn about Tesla, there is a new book out in Barns and Nobel regarding Tesla written by David Kent. Very nicely done!! I recommend it!
tesla was the biggest genius to ever live as he turned the lights on independently inventing ac
he worked for Edison but even Edison could not understand the genius of tesla
Yes, I agree with you @Ricky.
I'm all for returning to the old usage of this word. Our current usage puts way too much emphasis on consciousness as a property of the individual, something he owns. Whereas the earlier idea of genius is much more in keeping with where studies on consciousness are leading us now – we don't 'have' it in our brains, our brains (and bodies) plug into it, rather like a field of energy. The borders between genius & madness have been very thin for many artistic genii because both states eschew clear definitions between individuals and this field of consciousness. Also, I'm always intrigued with all the word shifts we see happening in the 1600′s as science takes over from god and 'genii loci' becomes inanimate matter.
this is very confusing
sooo awesome
All that I can say to Ricky is great answer. Marshall
Hmmm? That sentence "That Milton had a Genius equal to Spencer's…" does NOT necessarily infer the presence of a supernatural entity, or something owned, as if he'd written instead "That Milton had a dog [or house or ring] equal to Spencer's…".
The example phrase could also be analogous to plugging in any QUALITY you might wish to include, such as "That Milton had an intelligence [or cleverness or temper] equal to Spencer's…".
Hence, the author of THAT phrase could just as easily have been using "genius" as an inherent quality rather than something "owned" or possessed, such as a form of genie-like spirit or benificent spectre.
In fact, reading that example over several times, one cannot help but agree that "genius" is used there in a form interchangeable with any other human QUALITY (try "wit" or "charm" or "skill" or "judgment" instead… the phrase works just as well), not necessarily a possessive or possessed spirit.
And, per the comment by "Ricky", while genius can be often considered a blessing or curse (subjectively) depending on how it is used, it indeed CAN be learned or acquired… not easily, but with time, practice and genuine desire.
A HAMMER is simply an inert object, but can be used to build a house or kill a person; the "blessing/curse" thing is just how it is INTERPRETED, depending on how it has been used.
Likewise with "genius", it is neither blessing nor curse… it is a facile edge of added intelligence achieved through exercise of mind that exists to be used according to the whims of those who elect to develop it within themselves.
The lazy, indolent couch potato leading an education-free lifestyle generally fails to be regarded as genius, because they (whatever their inherent IQ might be) do not achieve even the modicum of intelligence and elocution required to EXPRESS their thoughts, however clever, in an intelligent or even coherent manner.
Whereas the dedicated, but lower-IQ, child who persists in reading and memorizing and taking a curious interest in the world and technology all around them WILL at some time come to be regarded as a genius. They will have acquired so much information and intelligence in their field(s) of interest, that others will respect their views and opinions, and eventually come to them for information and advice.
Even Edison was attributed as saying something to the effect that "genius is 10% inspiration, and 90% perspiration". It's the EFFORT that counts, and effort leads to change.
We are all free to elect our paths in life; choosing from amongst whatever circumstances that we are placed in, to choose how we will react to them. Free will and all that. It is also a measure of the DESIRE we bring to make those changes. Yes, someone CAN "choose" to become a genius, or something very near it, but must be prepared to put in their 10,000 hours. (Read Malcom Gladwell's "Outliers" for further explanation of the "hours" reference.)
Albert Einstein once said: "When I examine myself and my methods of thought I come to the conclusion that the gift of fantasy has meant more to me than my talent for absorbing positive knowledge."
Why must it Zakari. Jinn isn't even what you're claiming it to be. Plus it's a Latin originating word. Seriously, you shouldn't make such silly statements of fiction.
@Ricky: Well, I "am" a homosapien, but I can't exactly choose to be or not to be (though that is apparently the question). Should we then say that I am in possession of a homosapien? That seems to be at odds with certain human rights initiatives, wouldn't you say?
Interesting… I wonder if this has implications for the origin of "genie" and "djinn."
Zakari Hasmiu: You are correct. Our modern use of the term "genie" to mean a spirit (in a lamp or bottle) with magical powers is the result of a conflation between the latin "genius" and the Arabic "Al-Jinn." Italy and the Middle East are a short distance away from each other, across the Mediterranean. We have many things in common.
Ricky: I'm with you. It makes perfect sense, I agree completely.
Wow only two people care about Albert Einstein or the topic? I thought it was quite interesting. I mean is he a genius or does he have a genius like it says? Whats the difference? I mean either way he got his gift from God. So wouldn't he have a genius therefore making him one? Seems right to me.

Sorry to burst your bubble Ricky, but you are the genius or "being" in the phrase "human being", scientifically known as a photon, who atomically-encoded and bonded Our brilliant original idea into your visible, but dense human form. I trust you are aware that every visible form in the universe, including human form, is the form of an idea. The now willfully (http://chn.ge/11DuoDn) absent, but MAIN academic discipline of reverting (E = mc2) the dense biochemical compound which constitutes your human form, back to its pre-molecular or photonic wave frequency, permits your (genius') continued distortion-free function through your now enlightened human form. Why? because these two dimensions of Our (your) Mind are now operating at the same frequency. Your description of this necessity as a blessing and a curse, is due to the distortion of Our brilliant original idea by some of its dense human forms, who self-destructively believe that they can profit indefinitely by maintaining this age-old conflict between these two dimensions of Our Mind. Check out the history of money at http://www.xat.org The grace-period allotted for ignorance of this necessity has expired, however, confirmed by two living testimonials of that fact, in the persons of Julian Assange and Edward Snowden. In other words, Ricky, Our (your) genius or photon who literally condensed into, shaped and holds together the atoms of his human form (s), has resumed his lawful duty of making Our original idea visible. Watch with amusement as the dense ones run for cover from his unflinching revelation…ha, ha, ha, ha, ha. I am Melchizedek, the personification of Our original idea's SOUND, which generated LIGHT (photons), look me up at http://vixra.org/abs/1209.0037. Peace.
Wow only to people care about Albert Einstein or the topic? I thought it was quite interesting. I mean is he a genius or does he have a genius like it says? Whats the difference? I mean either way he got his gift from God. So wouldn't he have a genius therefore making him one? Seems right to me.
"Genius" I think, it has nothing to do with supernatural help, People a born Genius from time to time. There are many genius in history that were atheist (nothing to do with a blessing).
Genius did not come from Arabic nor did it arise in the 14th century. It is a direct Latin word that described the spirit that empowered the noble family clans (gens), especially the emperor. Eventually there was a legal requirement that citizens worship the genius of the emperor. Genius came into early literary English as a guardian spirit because those medieval folks knew their Latin.
i think theres a decision within people whether to delve into our own genious
some will. some wont…
the real inquiry is the potential within people and within their brain which is yet to be discovered
we all have our own inner genius
its about wheather we are capable to understand it, grasp it, and fathom its value
1680s, djen, from Arabic jinn, collective plural, "demons, spirits, angels." The proper singular is jinni. Cf. genie. ~ Online Etymology Dictionary. Aladdin rubbed the magic lamp to summon the genie, a tutelary spirit, who granted him 3 wishes.
I prefer "Near" Genius to Genius because it keeps people guessing; How Near? I know that anyone who is honest with at least himself will acknowledge in him resides both Genius & Fool. So, on average we are all equal.
Some are born Genius, some achieve Genius, and some have Genius thrust upon them. W. Flexspeare.
ALBERT EINSTEIN is held up as "a rare genius," who drastically changed the field of theoretical physics. However, using the technique known as 'The Often-Repeated Lie=Truth,' he has been made an idol to young people, and his very name has become synonymous with genius.
THE TRUTH, HOWEVER, IS VERY DIFFERENT. Einstein was an inept and moronic person, who could not even tie his own shoelaces; he contributed NOTHING ORIGINAL to the field of quantum mechanics, nor any other science. On the contrary—Einstein stole from his wife, Mileva Maric!( Do your research don't believe everything you hear!Beware of false knowledge; it is more dangerous than ignorance!
excuse me…. excuse me…. WHAT!!!!!
Lets bring it back to the old ways. To say a man has genius is better because a genius truly is a blessing and a curse. Nobody just chooses to be a genius one day, nor can a man with genius decide to be normal. It compels you; genius requires you to go out and be phenomenal. Genius cannot just be achieved, therefore it seems odd to attribute intellectual prowess to the person instead of the genius that drives him.
"Genius" if it means guardian spirit, must have evolved from the Arabic root " Al-Jinn" meaning spirit.

"I feel like I'm doing the guy a favor," the actress, 31, tells Ellen DeGeneres in an interview airing Tuesday on her talk show. "I don't want to be upset if he picks a bad ring, so I feel like having three picked out and saying, 'Look! Look at this plethora of things you can choose from!' "
The Ghost Whisperer star, who found the rings at Tiffany's, plans to explain to her beau: "If you chose one of these three, I'm going to be really excited. And if you go off on your own, we can have an awful, awkward moment. So, why would you want to do that?"
DeGeneres points out that maybe she's limiting herself. "Wouldn't that be a lovely surprise if he picks out or designs something really special, that's gigantic?" she jokes.
To which Hewitt replies: "Yeah, I never thought of it that way. Maybe that should be my growth for the New Year. To let the rings go."
She might not be ready to get married yet, but Hewitt seems happy in her relationship of seven months with Chicago actor and director Alex Beh, whom she brought to the Golden Globes this month.
But Hewitt was at a loss this weekend, when Beh's beloved Chicago Bears were beaten to the Super Bowl by the Green Bay Packers. "He just stood in front of the TV, just staring at the TV in sadness," she says. "And I didn't know what to do for him."

Bring Your Lunch! 12 Healthy Brown Bag Lunches From Our Favorite Bloggers
When you have to pack a brown bag lunch every day, it's easy to fall into a rut. For better mid-day meals, try one of these inspiring on-the-go ideas from popular food bloggers. Perfect for you or your kids!(12 Photos)
Gluten-Free Chicken Skewers
Marla Meridith, the blogger behind Family Fresh Cooking and a mom of two, says she's devoted to healthy living. To make the breading for these gluten-free chicken skewers, she grinds crispy brown rice cereal in a food processor with garlic salt, black pepper and smoked paprika. They are great for dinner and even better for lunch the next day, either eaten on a stick or chopped up and served over a green salad with cherry tomatoes, sliced strawberries and pecans.MARLA MERIDITH
Caesar Wrap with Tofu Croutons and Broccoli
Brooklyn blogger and cookbook author Cara Eisenpress is known for making magic in small kitchens. She created this recipe based on a sandwich she used to eat during her college days. It combines golden brown tofu croutons, steamed broccoli and romaine lettuce with homemade Caesar dressing in a wrap.CARA EISENPRESS
Hummus Chicken Salad
Aggie Goodman, a mother of two and the author of the down-to-earth blog Aggie's Kitchen, uses leftover chicken and hummus in place of mayo to make this quick and tasty salad. It works well as a light lunch or dinner.AGGIE GOODMAN
Tangy Tuna Salad
Also from Aggie's Kitchen is this fun and healthy twist on tuna salad. Goodman uses Greek yogurt in place of mayo and lettuce leaves instead of bread.AGGIE GOODMAN
Bento Box Lunch
Jenny Rosenstrach, the blogger behind the popular site Dinner A Love Story, shares inspiring recipes to help parents get dinner on the table, but her approach to brown bag lunches is more straightforward. As she says, "When you start with a compartmentalized lunch bag (like this one from PlanetBox), it's like filling in the blanks. Sandwich (ham and cheese on Trader Joe's biscuits): Check. Clementines: check. Edamame: Check. Annie's crackers: check. Cookie: Check. I'll take all the help I can get."IVILLAGE
Spicy Sandwich
For a sophisticated brown bag lunch, Katie Workman, author of The Mom 100 Cookbook, makes a sliced chicken sandwich with a blend of mayonnaise and sambal oelek (a spicy chili paste made with vinegar and garlic). Fresh parsley and a whole wheat bun complete the tasty package and she serves pasta salad with sautéed broccoli, roasted peppers, basil and chickpeas in a light and creamy dressing on the side.KATIE WORKMAN
Blueberry Pomegranate Smoothie
Meredith Steele, a mother of one and the blogger behind In Sock Monkey Slippers, says smoothies are an easy and healthy brown bag lunch. As she explains, "Make it the night before, store it in a freezable container, pack it the next day, and once it's time to eat lunch, the smoothie has thawed into a cold delicious treat."MEREDITH STEELE
Light Bites
Melissa Sharp is a mom of four and the blogger behind Another Lunch, a popular blog devoted to bento boxes. A typical lunch for her kids might include grapes in a silicone muffin cup, a strawberry, cucumber slices, a small pack of organic fruit snacks, pretzel thins, two 1/4 squares of sandwich, cheddar cheese squirrels cut with a tiny cookie cutter and a heart-shaped piece of fruit leather, also cut with a cookie cutter. Perfect for small appetites or kids who prefer to graze!MELISSA SHARP
Colorful Fruit Salad
Blogger Shaina Olmanson's family eats a lot of fruit, but constantly seeing the same apple in your lunchbox can be boring. She keeps lunches exciting by combining different berries and sliced fruits into colorful fruit salads that will catch children's eyes.SHAINA OLMANSON
Kale Chips
Love crunchy chips with your lunch? For a healthier alternative, blogger Alejandra Owens relies on kale chips. She drizzles a little olive oil, salt and pepper over thick, succulent kale leaves and bakes them for 20 minutes to make a super snack that's chock full of calcium.ALEJANDRA OWENS
Purple Lunchtime Salad
If you have leftover roasted chicken, it can easily be turned into a healthy salad for lunch the next day. That's just what Adam Roberts, the wildly popular blogger behind The Amateur Gourmet, used for this radicchio salad. He also added raisins, red onion, toasted walnuts and a dressing made with a big spoonful of spicy French mustard, a drizzle of good honey from the farmer's market, a glug of white balsamic vinegar (though regular balsamic would work too), a pinch of salt, a grinding of pepper and olive oil. If you don't think your kids will go for bitter radicchio, try using spinach or a type of lettuce that they choose.ADAM ROBERTS
Quinoa Shrimp Salad
Ashton Keefe, a chef, food stylist and blogger, likes to pack up Quinoa Shrimp Salad for a light and fancy-seeming lunch on the go. To make the meal easier, she whips up the quinoa and blanches the asparagus on Sunday night to make sure she starts her week off on a healthy note. Precooked shrimp makes the meal even easier, or it can be seared the night before, too.ASHTON KEEFE
