Here's an Arthur Darvill appreciation pin. Because Arthur Darvill.
I would marry Rory Williams so fast it would rip a hole in time and space.<-----so perfect
I'm currently waiting for someone as perfect as Mr. Rory Williams, the best boyfriend/husband in the world.
Rory Williams is adorable... I really want a man like Rory...and I married him!
One of the many reasons I love Rory! (And, is that a lunchbox with Roman soldiers on it!?!) He is such a Hufflepuff
Community Post: 9 Times Rory Williams From "Doctor Who" Laid Down The Real Talk
When he admitted the confusion everyone was feeling. | 9 Times Rory Williams From "Doctor Who" Laid Down The Real Talk
I feel like every time I see this I'm going to have to rejoin it. Just because.. I mean... Rory Williams guys.
If I had to choose between The Doctor and Rory to spend the rest of my life with, I'd choose Rory

In self-styled 'people's republics' in eastern Ukraine the arrival of winter means hardship for civilians as coal and food are in short supply. More than 1,000 people have died since a Sept. 5 cease-fire was signed by Russia and Ukraine.
In his annual press conference, the Russian president set a clear tone over the country's ruble and oil woes: The Russian 'bear' needs to evade the (Western) hunters, and trust only in itself.
President Obama is likely to sign off on new sanctions targeting oil and arms exports. Sanctions have helped drive down the ruble, which has lost half its value this year.
Between Western sanctions and plummeting crude oil prices, things are looking grim for Russia's economy. But Russians appear prepared to weather the storm.
Tanking oil prices may force Iraq to delay its final Gulf War reparations payment to Kuwait. And oil's drop has weakened the ruble, which Russia's central bank intervened to prop up today.
Vladimir Putin will be seeking to keep India's Narendra Modi onside with cheap oil and diamond deals, as India diversifies its weapons purchases away from Russia.
In a video posted online Sunday, astrophysicist Vladimir Lipunov says the newly discovered asteroid could collide with Earth during its three-year orbital cycle. A giant meteor exploded over a Russian city in 2013.
Ukrainian historians say that to forge a common identity among eastern and western Ukrainians, both sides must better understand history. The UPA, a WWII-era nationalist militia lionized in the west but feared in the east, is a key example.
The Russian president rolled out a series of liberal economic reforms in his state-of-the-nation speech today, saying that clearing away bureaucratic red tape and offering tax breaks to small business would soften sanctions' bite.
The rector of Notre Dame said the cathedral couldn't afford its annual 80,000-euro tree, prompting Russia to come to the rescue. The gift comes amid particularly poor relations between Paris and Moscow.
Thousands marched in Moscow on Sunday over the city's shuttering of 28 hospitals and firing of up to 10,000 medical personnel. Proponents say the move, part of a national reform, is necessary to improve healthcare, but critics don't see how.
The Russian president blamed European intransigence for his decision to end the gas pipeline, which would have circumvented Ukraine via Bulgaria and Serbia. But the decision also comes as dropping oil prices put the squeeze on Russia's budget.
Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov says the West's sanctions are aimed at promoting regime change, a view that analysts warn will make compromise over Ukraine even more difficult.
France was under heavy pressure from NATO allies not to go through with the sale of the helicopter carrier amid rising tensions over Ukraine.
Poland and Russia expelled each other's diplomats this week and canceled cultural exchanges. But many Poles, driven by longstanding ties as well as business interests, want more dialogue. Will the new PM deliver?
With Russia alienated by the West and China eager to buy high-end weaponry, a joint military pact – though still a long way off – looks increasingly seductive to both.
A Russian-based website is offering computer video feeds into people's homes around the world. A database on the site shows listings for 4,591 cameras in the US, 2,059 in France, and 1,576 in the Netherlands.
On Friday evening, a yellow flash filled the skies over Russia's sparsely populated Urals region. Was it a meteor? A rocket launch? No one seems to know.
Object 2014-28E, a Russian satellite, has been scooting across the skies in an odd fashion – and stirring speculation that Russia has reignited its space-weapons program.
President Poroshenko canceled a 'special status' law for Donetsk and Luhansk, effectively cutting off the regions' hospitals, schools, and pensioners from state money. Many worry that it will hurt defenseless locals.
Sweden's top military official said that they do not know who owns the submarine, which triggered the country's largest mobilization since the cold war. But Stockholm plans to upgrade its naval security in response.
Russia's Central Bank has been buying up huge quantities of gold – 55 tons in the third quarter alone – as a means to pad the economy against Western sanctions' bite.
The world soccer body cleared the two countries of vote-buying and corruption in winning the 2018 and 2022 tournaments. But the scandal that has dogged the bids is hardly over.
Russia's decision to increase its military patrols of the West comes amid increasing tensions over the situation in Ukraine.
The agreement, which could see Russia build eight new civilian reactors in Iran, comes just weeks before a deadline for Iran to accept curbs on its capacity to make nuclear weapons.

A few weeks ago, I wrote a blog post about Narrative Science and the idea around algorithms replacing humans for news stories.
At the time, I based my cynical piece (as is my custom) on the things I'd read in Wired, Crain's, Slate, and The Atlantic.
My biggest issue with the company is the idea that a computer could replace, not only part of my livelihood, but my passion. But where the really interesting conversation happened was in the comments (as is always the case).
Some of the comments included things such as:
- An algorithm can't say words such as shiznit and bouyah.
- If keywords and SEO are all that's important, a computer does that better than humans.
- Could computer-based writing become better at facts than humans?
- We don't know enough about the art of language to make a computer that knows it even better than humans.
- This is a copout, a new way to spam, and users will see through it, get tired of it, and move away.
- Will this be 90 percent because people will be writing that much less content? Or is that a 9x increase in content, rewritten and repurposed by machines? (In response to their founder saying 90 percent of all content will be written by computers in the next 15 years.)
- The nuances and subtle touches that go into story telling aren't something that you can teach.
And you know what? I agreed with all of these comments. You can't teach a computer the things humans can do with the language. What's next? A Pulitzer Prize for the pretty black laptop over there in the corner?
And Then…
I took a phone call from Stuart Frankel, the CEO at Narrative Science. It's pretty rare anyone gets me on the phone if they're not on my team, a client, or a prospect we're likely to close soon. So the fact that I spent nearly an hour on the phone with him speaks volumes for what they're doing over there.
And he changed my mind. Not entirely (I still don't think a computer-based story could win a Pulitzer), but I'm thinking about it differently now.
He started off by showing me the process they use in order to create a computer-based story.
What's interesting about this process is all of these pieces have to be there in order for the computer to write stories about Little League games or earnings reports or real estate in smaller markets that don't typically get attention.
For instance, Forbes will do earnings reports for the Fortune 50 every quarter, but every other public company gets ignored because they don't have the time, the human resources, or the budget to focus on everyone else.
An algorithm can take the data, the facts, the stats, and the angles and create a structure around earnings reports for the other 450 Fortune 5oo companies. And it can do it in seconds.
So why not let a computer write something no one was going to write anyway, but people are interested in reading about? It doesn't matter if it's five or 500 people because it takes so little time to produce.
Algorithms are writing stories humans either don't want to write or don't have the time to write…and they're doing it in four seconds instead of 40 minutes.
It's Inevitable
I consider myself pretty forward-thinking when it comes to technology. I love new advances, tools, and changes…especially if it means I'm going to get more efficient at my job.
So I try to keep an open mind, especially when it's something that rubs me the wrong way like this has done.
Stu said:
We think if a story can be generated by data, it will be. We're not shorting humans. We can generate parts of a story from the data that a computer is better at pulling, and a human can add the color or interviews conducted to broaden the appeal.
So I've softened my opinion. There are plenty of parents and grandparents who want the play-by-play of the Little League game the local paper just can't write. Now they can have all of the information they need.
It doesn't mean my livelihood or passion is affected. After all, I'm gunning for a Pulitzer (someday), not the Little League game recaps or Fortune company earnings reports.

@HowieSPM This is exactly what they believe at Narrative Science. It's inevitable. No, a computer can't generate tone and inflection, but it can write stories that can be automated. Heck, I wrote the wedding announcements for the Omaha World-Herald in college. There is definitely a formula for that. It could be automated.
@ginidietrich this will be interesting. Isn't there that thesis that is you give a bunch of chimps typewriters and they type long enough randomly they will spit out shakespear someday?
I can see these stories being rife with misinterpreted data that makes people dumber rather than smarter. Humans do it all the time. Just look at infographics. And since people are creating these programs, there is that possibility. Can an algorithm really reach beyond the simplistic to create something of value, really tell a story. Or is it just going to be mindless drivel that no one will want to read.
Perhaps I'm being snobbish about this, but I can't see a computer built on 0's and 1's creating something interesting enough to grab my attention.
@Anthony_Rodriguez Unfortunately, it's happening and you're reading stuff generated by computers that you may not even realize. Look at their diagram above. It takes facts and data so it's likely more accurate than if a human analyzes the same information. When I talked to their CEO, he used the example of grades. Your report card has always been grades only. Now it can be grades plus commentary on what you need to do, as compared to everyone else, to improve. Sure, a human could do this, but most don't because of the sheer amount of time it takes.
@ginidietrich @Anthony_Rodriguez I keep reading the first sentence of Gini's reply and I can't help but wonder if she too is a robot.
"Unfortunately, it's happening and you're reading stuff generated by computers that you may not even realize."
Help, I'm stuck in an endless loop!
@fitzternet @ginidietrich @Anthony_Rodriguez I just thought the same! Gini is totally a cyborg.
@RebeccaTodd @fitzternet @Anthony_Rodriguez Well, crap. Now you know my secret.
My main problem is this:
Any activity that has little to no cost (read automate-able) inevitably is overdone and mis-used. Ultimately it becomes spam.
Name me one marketing activity or channel where this isn't true.
The tech will find its way into the wrong hands and 5-10 years from now we'll hate it.
@Sean McGinnis Funny that that's your issue with it. My issue is computers replacing fiction and smart business authors. I guess it's like anyone else. There will be above and below the board uses for it.
@ginidietrich @Sean I can see it now: Become a (Insert business category here) guru overnight! Our program will write e-books in your name! All original content!
@KenMueller @seanmcginnis @KenMueller An automation tool can be easily misused, but I think there's real value in this sort of algorithmic content generation vehicle, particularly in heavily regulated industries like finance and insurance.
@ginidietrich @Sean
The above and below the board uses will be bright-line distinct at the beginning and will blur over time. I'm less concerned with the below the board use of the tech and far more concerned with the above board use that (because adopt and use is frictionless and cost-free) becomes overdone.
@Sean McGinnis @ginidietrich @Sean Can't the same be said for *any* automation function? I understand the skepticism and distrust of automated tools b/c they're used as bandaids, but like all things, it can be very effectively deployed within reason.
@jasonkonopinski @ginidietrich Yes. The same can be said of any automated function, which is exactly why i am saying it about this automated function. 🙂
"Can be effectively deployed" is a far cry from "is effectively deployed." Find me a marketing channel or tactic that can be automated and that you believe IS effectively deployed.
I'll be standing over here in the corner (rotting away to nothing), awaiting your example… 😉
I'm sorry, I can't comment right now… I'm still laughing at shiznit.
And I'm still waiting for my IG thank you
@SociallyGenius You know that was a comment left on the original blog post!
I can get behind this approach as well.
We may not notice but in fields like financial reporting content has to be published in a particular format. It's just how things are and creativity is neither needed nor encouraged. And to be honest, anyone writing these things day in and day out would probably be an automaton
So yeah, let's get the algorithms cracking on these things.
Damn, I basically ripped off your example. Okay, lets see- how about weather reporting, UFO sightings and outbreak of hysteria over Justin Bieber and Twilight? Algorithms can whip up a report for each of them, methinks
@bhas Outbreaks over Justin Beiber. That just made me laugh out loud!
Did you get some sleep last night?
@bhas @ginidietrich @RebeccaTodd Will computer generated content increase the total quantity coverage of Justin Bieber and Twilight or will c/g/c free up humans to cover more *um* innovative cultural subjects?
@SociallyGenius LOL!! You kill me.
@bradmarley Sure, it would have eliminated my position, but really that would have been OK. I mean, I learned AP style, but it was a mindless job. If that had been the case, I would have done other writing that allowed me the same benefit and perhaps wasn't as mindless.
@ginidietrich But that was back when newsrooms were still thriving. (I wasn't making a joke about your age. Promise.)
Now, if this technology takes off, it could eliminate entire newsrooms and take away the potential for college grads or entry level personnel to get that all-important foot in the door. That's kind of where I was going with this.
I wonder if Omaha World-Herald Gini would have thought it was NBD that her position was was being eliminated.
A computer might be able to capture the technique of writing, but it will never be able to capture the soul.
@richescorner And that was his point when he said they're not trying to short humans. Computers will never replace the tone or intent or color a human can provide.
I've always been in the camp that spells it BOOYAH. All caps and no "u."
@fitzternet Actually, that's how I spell it too.
@TheJackB But even if you write that sentence (I am going to beat you) not everyone will know the intent unless they subscribe to me on FB. And I don't really know if it's good-natured teasing or if you're intentionally trying to hurt me (I hope it's the former).
I think automation, in this sense, is good. I am afraid (and I said this on the phone with Stu) that this will get in the wrong hands. But the way Narrative Science is doing is not threatening, in the least, to any of us writers.
Two forces seemingly at odds can find a way to coexist and maybe even compliment each other? How improbable. By the way, when is the DVD player going to put the movie theaters out of business?
@barryrsilver Jeez, Barry. It's Blu-Ray. DVDs are so 2010.
@ginidietrich @barryrsilver So is Blu-Ray. Hulu and HBO Go are already doing a good job.
@rustyspeidel @barryrsilver It was a joke, Rusty. A JOKE!
@ginidietrich @barryrsilver hahahaha. you guys kill me. [slaps knee, coughs up laugh.]
@rustyspeidel @barryrsilver LOL! Brat.
@ginidietrich @rustyspeidel @barryrsilver Meh..Hulu is so now. What you need is the eyePhone, brought by Mom Corp which will stream HD content across your retina.
Call me when the lines begin
@ginidietrich define "story" – a computer may replicate fact- imitate styles- but I guess it takes some time until it get free will 😉
@gstene Yes…and that's the point. It can generate facts and data, but not tone or intention
@ginidietrich puh… We agree!
I want a Pulitzer……….but I'm ok letting the computer write it if all I have to do is show up at the party to get all the love………..true story………
@bdorman264 You know what? If you can make that happen, I'll be happy to join you at your party!
In which we learn Gini does not strive to cover Little League. RT @ginidietrich Can Algorithms Replace Human Writers? http://t.co/oegdyBdn
@GrizzardComm Ha!
Apologies. (Didn't know html was not supported)
@TopherJRyan I love that you added the HTML code. I think Livefyre is working on supporting it soon!
@TopherJRyan This is exactly where I've ended on this debate. Machines have been replacing humans for decades. We can either accept it and (to your point) find our niche or we can fight it and be left behind.
Wow, that's awesome that he called you. That's the way to do it. There's a crisis communications story behind this story.
Oh, and I spell it "shiznits" think it's plural like "deer." Maybe that's something for the FakeAPStyle people… 🙂
@Frank_Strong It's a really good communications strategy. It started with an email from his marketing person. She said she'd read the blog post and she'd like to add another angle to it. I'm glad she did. It softened my view!
@Frank_Strong I think they were especially sensitive to the comments. Which means they're paying attention!
@ginidietrich Definitely. Great point. The comments and discussion on @SpinSucks is really a phenomenon. Have "met" so many people there.
@Frank_Strong The crazies, as I call them.
@ginidietrich Proud to be one of them!
OK, this is probably a toxic comment, but this feels like Spam-o-Matic™ to me. There is already SOOOO much content hitting the air every day, and even though I SORT of agree with the local coverage angle, this thing just doesn't FEEL right. It feels lazy, opportunistic, corporate, and cynical. "Let us do the writing so you don't have to!" It's efficiency run amok, one step past those companies that ghostwrite overnight from a garrett in India. Me no likey. Can't justfify why, really, just no likey.
@rustyspeidel That's how I felt initially, but I really was impressed with the work they're doing. He talked to me about a franchise client that has hundreds of locations. They can take the data from a day's worth of sales in the entire organization and drive it down so they can see what's selling best in other locations in their same city, state, or region. This is stuff not already done because it's too laborious for a human to do it. But it's very valuable to the franchisee.
@ginidietrich That's very different than ghost writing content.
@rustyspeidel This isn't ghost-writing content. I hope I didn't give that impression because that's not what it is. Look at their process. It's about data and facts that are taken and compiled into a structure. The human can then add color and interviews. Nothing about it is ghost written.
@annedreshfield I think it's going to be interesting to see what happens. My opinion is eventually anything that can be written solely by data will be generated by computers. Machines replaced humans in manufacturing, but there still is a place for people to work in the industry. I think the same thing will happen here.
Interesting @ginidietrich Movies too. I add clips and software has the capability to arrange it without my input.
[…] means that content sharing is like talking. Hell, it's REPLACED talking at my house. Some people are even convinced it's OK for computers to start doing the messaging without much input from humans at […]
The imperfections & ingenuity humans insinuate into their narrative words make it appealing to readers and detract from the art of communication. Note the differences in purpose, appeal & interests between the examples sited in a Fortune 50 article and "50 Shades of Gray", sit back in the comfort we won't be replaced..at least for a while. 😀
@4uthebest1 Yes, and that was my point. The computer won't write a Pulitzer-winning novel, but it can write earnings reports.
@TedWeismann @ginidietrich @SpinSucks I couldn't comment with conviction…torn…agreed with most comments. She is the Dietrichster.
@nigelcameron @ginidietrich hi there instead of more torrential info output these news algos should be apps made bespoke by users…! 🙂
@openbrackets @ginidietrich Hey, let's take personalization a step further: Here's the news as you would like it to be. #startupidea
@nigelcameron @ginidietrich 🙂 hmmm there's def s/t to that #startupidea
Ugh… I know I should be 'forward thinking,' but it seems to me that they are not only stories that no human will write, but that no human will read. Perhaps I'll come around… just not now.
@AmyMccTobin Think about it from this perspective: Let's say you're a Fortune 500 company listed at 415. Forbes and Fortune only cover the top 50 companies. With this technology, your earnings reports are now covered. That's important to you, to your employees, and to your shareholders. But it's not important to the layperson.
@ginidietrich I get it… and I'm glad I don't need to read those reports. If computers start to write stories and marketing verbiage, I'm out like Thoreau.
@nigelcameron Ha!
I'll keep an open mind but this comes to mind: if you're not an artist your a commodity. That is not original to me though, I heard it at SOBCON. I wish I could properly attribute. Maybe someone will notice and properly credit the brilliant person that said that.
Algorithms will be commodities, humans will continue to have the artistic edge. The same way we can appreciate hand made goods more than those that came off a machine….
Booyah! 🙂
@hackmanj VERY good analogy. Very, very good.
This post touched on a nerve, a great fear that somehow man will be replaced by machine. This goes back to Isaac Asimov and his Robot series and lives in the modern vernacular with the Terminator and the Matrix. I don't doubt your findings, and thank you for sharing them. I read the negative comments and doubts, and while not outright dismissing them, do associate them with this larger fear of man vs. machine.
@geoffliving We can always start an underground organization. We will write on paper with pens and pass our work between us by carrier pigeon. Ha. Kidding but it would be funny.
@geoffliving I don't know that I would characterize it as a fear of the machine because the machine has no feelings, no intent and no ability to "touch" us.
The concern is about how the machine will be used by people.
@geoffliving It's like anything else, right? Machines replaced some humans in the car manufacturing plants, but people still have jobs with the automakers. It's all part of evolution.
@ThePaulSutton @ginidietrich did a demo with them a few weeks back. Proper impressed with what they're doing.
@commspond @ginidietrich It's certainly an interesting area. Doesn't sound feasible on paper, but must be quite awesome to see?
@ThePaulSutton @ginidietrich depends on the dataset certainly, but those that I saw were indeed awesome – and generated in seconds
@CommsPond As much as it hurts me personally, I'm impressed with what they're doing, too @ThePaulSutton
I'm not sure how I did not recall this earlier, and don't see any references here. Do you recall the Versificator of Orwell's 1984? It was a computer program that wrote literature and music for the proles. This has made me take agin this whole notion.
@RebeccaTodd Stupid George Orwell.
@ThePaulSutton What do you think about the algorithms writing news stories?
@ginidietrich Difficult to say without seeing it. Sounds like you'd totally lose the human touch of writing. But maybe i'm wrong?
@ThePaulSutton You do on the stories like earnings reports. But I think that's OK. No one wants to write those anyway
@ginidietrich yeah, i guess there's a place for this. As with everything, there's a balance. So when's Spin Sucks going automated?
@ThePaulSutton Um, never! I like to write. I don't want a computer doing it for me.
@ginidietrich it would make an interesting experiment though. See what engagement you got without disclosing it was written by computer…
@ThePaulSutton That actually would be a really cool experiment
@ginidietrich i know. Do it, Gini… :o)
Hey Gini. Thanks for using my made up words in your post. Well, if you've softened your position goddess on ya. What scares me is the enormity of data already available without computers generating opinion and journalism. Where does it end when that starts?
You know, one Co does it and it's successful. Next thing you know there are hundreds of news orgs out their pounding out publications. Sure we need to filter, I get that. Hey, maybe a bunch of new search engines will emerge to help us manage the whole mess.
Damn. See even the auto correct on my smartphone is ruling what I write. Goddess. Well, ok but I meant to say good on ya.
@rdopping The computers don't generate opinion or journalism. They only follow a structure based on data and facts. There isn't an opinion about it…that's where humans come in.
I can understand that – if it's a job no one wants to do that needs doing, that's fine. I think we need humans in the process and always will, especially where storytelling is concerned.
@Tinu When I first read about it, I read it as algorithms would replace humans entirely. But, after talking to their CEO, I realize it's really writing the stuff we can't manage to write anyway.
@markwschaefer @ginidietrich If #SIRI is any guide, then Gini has nothing to worry about.
@MPSteerman Ha!
Ack. I"m so late to the party, it's not even funny, so I'll state my case and leave…I see this type of writing replacing the wire services as filler for those media that need stories and no longer have reporters.
I can see the crime pages filling up with computer-generated police reports turned into an article of a sort or other pieces taken from computerized records, too.
What is never possible is the human touch and contact that derives storytelling, nuance, emotion, verve, and passion. Look how long it took Spock to get a feeling!
@Soulati | B2B Social Media Marketing Late or not, that hilarious. Spock indeed! This one will likely take a tad longer, like never, perhaps.
@Soulati | B2B Social Media Marketing Exactly! I don't have a problem with this if it's not replacing my blog writing. And, right now, it's not.

After the utopian movements of the 1960s and 70s – Archigram, Architecture Principe, Utopie, Superstudio, Archizoom, the Metabolists, Yona Friedman, Paolo Soleri, Buckminster Fuller, Haus Rucker Co. or Coop Himmelb(l)au – utopian discourse and projects have disappeared from architecture and urban design. Utopia no longer appears to be a useful tool for architectural discourse or practice.
If we consider our current condition, in part determined by a condition of atopia (Gregotti, 1991) – the non-places in large urban developments and individual housing ("The non-place is the contrary of utopia: it exists and doesn't allow a single organic society" Marc Augé, 1992) – and on the other hand by a dystopian vision of imminent ecological disasters, it is surprising that there hasn't been a reemergence of utopia as a means of imagining better places, other conditions, changes. Certainly there have been some utopias, but of a regressive nature – to quote Manfredo Tafuri – they attempt to stop time instead of advancing, they hide from reality as is the case with numerous gated communities where surveillance systems monitor the fragile borders of their utopias. But there is an absence of progressive utopias.
What is a utopia ? The term has many significations, to the point that it appears to mean anything and nothing, both positive and negative. Certainly utopia is a mirror by which we see and judge reality ("Utopia isn't pure illusion but an updating of a positive system of norms that, independently of any reference to their possible realization, gives the sole/true measure of what is happening" Lucien Sebag, 1964), but it is also a place that remains better than we wish to create and/or think capable of creating.
That brings us to the hypothesis that under the weight of capitalist and neo-liberalist logic – the Empire referred to by Hardt and Negri (2000) – and the absence of place that it provokes (atopia), that any changing of the current condition and therefore any revival of utopias, appears impossible. In fact the only urban practices that seem to escape this logic today result in social mapping that is purely descriptive or else in interventions at the micro-level without global impact. At the same time, the dystopic visions of a future full of ecological disasters has not produced utopias like those of the 70s, on the contrary architecture and urban planning have become subjected to this logic, so too have the schools which are now focusing on producing "eco-designers" or "bio-architects". Zizek refers to ecology as a new opium for the masses (2007).
Karl Mannheim (1929), considers utopia in relation to ideology and defines the two as symptoms of malaise in relation to the human condition, but only utopia is capable of changing this condition. Even if this definition is somewhat limited, it appears useful to discuss utopia in relation to ideology. We could argue that the social and ecological concerns produced ideologies to which architecture and urban planning have been subjected, without creating a utopia or an 'ecotopia'. If all utopias come from an ideal, it is the opposite of ideal – ideology – that seems to haunt current discourse and practice in its submission to capitalist logic.
In addition to the difficulty of explaining utopia, the question of its absence today raises the need for new approaches and definitions. These approaches could look at scale – does utopia present itself more locally today? It could also consider the difference between utopia as form or process (David Harvey, 1996) or the difference between utopian and utopist (Henri Lefebvre, 1974) and the difference between a spatial and temporal utopia. It calls also for the question of the relationship between architecture/urbanism and actual or future forms of energy and their influence on the former. And what is the role of new technologies? Is the virtual creating a new outlet for utopias?
These are some initial thoughts resulting from an analysis of the contemporary condition as seen through the lens of utopias and their absence. This conference proposes the use of the concept of utopia as an indicator of the current condition of architecture and urbanism and these disciplines subjection to a neo-liberal logic, but also as a means of escaping this logic. It will raise ethical and aesthetic questions. It will furthermore investigate the role of energy and thus of sustainability not only as ideology.
The conference will take place at the Saline Royale by Ledoux, as a "partial" incarnation of an 18th century utopia it provides an "ideal" reference and site for this subject, not least of all for Ledoux's ambiguous motives. The site hosted an exhibition of 'utopian' architecture in 1965 including projects/propositions by Architecture principe, Archigram, the Metabolists, and Paolo Soleri.
The conference will have a contemporary focus, but that does not exclude historical investigations that address the current context, nor does it exclude interventions that do not focus exclusively on architecture or urbanism. The conference intends to question current practice, the role of utopia in the work of architects and urban planners today. It will provide a platform for interdisciplinary discourse: researchers and practitioners from all disciplines are invited to submit propositions of a maximum of 2000 words with a CV to the e-mail address firstname.lastname@example.com before July 16, 2010. Presentations can be made in English or French. Information on accommodation will be communicated.
There is no conference registration fee, but participants must cover their accommodation and meals at the Saline. Information on the options available will be communicated to the participants after confirmation.
The conference is organized by the Ecole Spéciale d'architecture together with the Saline Royale and the Hochschule Luzern, Technik und Architektur
Keynote speakers will include David Harvey (New York) and Christian Hönger (Hochschule Luzern), others will be announced.

My first observation is that you are using the wrong set of classes to handle the workbook. Excel workbooks come in two different formats; the older binary file format (.xls) and the newer OOXML format (.xlsx). From the code you posted, you would appear to be working with one of the newer format files - from the file extension .xlsx - and to do this with POI, you need to use the XSSF classes not the HSSF ones. Better still would be to use the classes in the unifying ss usermodel stream.
There are numerous examples on the POI website, http://poi.apache.org/spreadsheet/quick-guide.html

The road testing of the various versions of the redesigned 2015 Dodge Challenger was complete, and now it was time for the 707-horsepower star of the show to do an encore.
The headliner would be the Challenger SRT with the freshly minted Hellcat engine. The latter is a supercharged, highly reworked, 6.2-liter rendition of the Chrysler Group's legendary Hemi V-8, an engine so powerful the company had to get higher capacity dynamometers to measure its output. In addition to all those horses, it develops a whopping 650 pound feet of torque, which is enough to pull down City Hall. It is the Chrysler Group's first supercharged V-8 engine, and the most powerful V-8 it has ever built. The Challenger SRT powered by it is also the most powerful muscle car ever.

Bendre comes alive at Belgaum jail
By Express News Service
Published: 03rd October 2010 04:14 AM
Last Updated: 16th May 2012 05:01 PM
BELGAUM: The inmates of Hindalga Jail celebrated the birth anniversary of father of the nation Mahatma Gandhi in a unique manner on Saturday.
Jnanapeeth Award winner DR Bendre Day was organised in the jail to mark the stay of the poet at the jail as a convict in June 1932. The poet had written a poem called 'Nara Bali' (human sacrifice), which the British termed a conspiracy to destabilise the Government of India.
Bendre was then a teacher at Vidyaranya High School at Dharwad, which was then known as National High School and was producing nationalists. The poet was asked to explain in writing that there was nothing offensive in the poem against the British for the government to release him. However, the poet refused to explain the poem saying it is not the duty of the poet to explain the meaning of his work.
The poet was kept in Hindalaga jail and later moved to Mugad, a village near Dharwad, where he was kept under house arrest.
DR Bendre National Memorial Trust had organised a programme at Hindlaga jail to remember the poet. Latha Jagirdar sang poems written by Bendre.
BR Nadagouda of Sindagi, who was a close associate of Bendre, recalled his friendship with the poet.
Trust chairman Dr Shamsunder Bidarkundi said Bendre was a fearless poet. Poetess Ranjana Naik sang poems written by Bendre. G Veerabhadraswamy, the superintendent of Hindalga jail was also present.

Informative Documentary
What was most refreshing was it's census-style question and answer technique. All people questioned in this documentary were randomized, and asked the same questions. There was no attempt by the authors or producers to create an end with their means. The people were real, as were the crew and narrator. By asking the same questions of each participant, one can easily see how "we the sheeple" are completely in the dark.

The editorial staff rates Bobrick's B-3944 towel dispenser/waste receptacle
Bobrick B-3944 Towel Dispenser/Waste Receptacle
Installation We thought installation and conversion were fairly straightforward; however, we highly recommend using the proper tools. The editorial staff was armed with a socket wrench, but it would've taken much less time with an open-end wrench. We thought the instructions needed a bit more emphasis in certain places (bolts should be loosened, but not removed all the way, which we discovered too late). Large-print instructions on the inside of the dispensing units would've made things a little easier; we also recommend that the instructions for towel replacement be listed in English and Spanish.
Flexibility The flexibility of this product is what really makes it shine. A sudden increase in restroom traffic is no problem: Replace the folded-towel compartment for the roll-towel dispenser, swap out the small trashcan for the large one, and you're set. The only thing that would make its flexibility even better is to have the dispensing units make use of a "clipping" mechanism vs. having to undo screws/bolts to make the switch.
Aesthetics In restrooms, stainless steel always gets high marks for its resilience, but fingerprints show up quickly. It's not exceptionally beautiful, but it serves its purpose well, and certainly won't detract from your restroom aesthetic.
Sustainability This product is manufactured from 50- to 70-percent post-industrial recycled stainless steel, which is a plus. But, it's also green in another way, too: Two rolls of towels (a stub roll and a full roll) can be in the roll-towel dispenser at the same time. This will keep custodial staff from throwing the stub roll away with paper towels still on it.

Get the 2015 Georgia Travel Guide with Fried Green TomatoesOn January 27, 2015, Georgia's Governor Nathan Deal met with Georgia Department of Economic Development (GDEcD) Commissioner Chris Carr and Georgia's tourism industry leaders for the annual Tourism, Hospitality & Arts Day at the state Capitol where Gov. Deal revealed the cover of Georgia's official 2015 state travel guide. Our pal Governor Deal presented the latest travel guide to Georgia — a full-color, magazine-size guide that features a cover photo with Georgia residents and famed chefs Hugh Acheson and "Mama Louise" Hudson on historic Jekyll Island. The guide provides visitors with information on Georgia's tourism, including trip ideas, attractions, accommodations, events and more. 700,000 guides will be distributed through the state's 11 Visitor Information Centers, ExploreGeorgia.org, travel and trade shows and 1-800-VISIT GA. Tourism representatives gave the governor a great big phony check that would bounce like Santa's belly that they hoped would represent the $2.8 billion in state tax revenue generated from tourism-related expenditures in 2013. That would buy enough fried green tomatoes at the Whistle Stop Café in Juliet, Georgia, for all y'all. While we appreciate the intent, we're not sure giving the governor a bad check for a few billion dollars is the best way to say thanks. We believe a free copy of the travel guide would be just fine, thank you. Governor Deal — a kind man who didn't blink an eye at accepting the bogus check — said, "With an overall economic impact of $53.6 billion, tourism in Georgia spurs growth in nearly every community across the state. Each year, the industry attracts visitors from around the world and directly benefits thousands of Georgia households by sustaining more than 411,000 jobs, making up 10.2 percent of the state's workforce." "The tourism industry is a huge contributor to Georgia's entire economic well-being," said GDEcD Commissioner Chris Carr. "Our tourism assets not only draw in millions of visitors, but they also create a better quality of life for those who call Georgia home as well as increasing investment opportunities by making Georgia a great place to live and do business." Please Note: We finally figured out why the Georgia Department of Economic Development is abbreviated "GDEcD" instead of DED. Thank you. This year, GDEcD's tourism division is celebrating the flavors of Georgia by showcasing the state's culinary experiences and highlighting unique local flavors, notable chefs, award-winning restaurants, agritourism destinations and much more. The tourism division's culinary initiative will be applied across multiple promotional platforms, including ExploreGeorgia.org, social media channels, marketing materials, advertising opportunities, special events and the travel guide. The division is also launching a new creative marketing campaign that features sleek designs, vibrant photography and inspiring content, all of which is based around the overall theme of "Pretty. Sweet." "Georgia's culinary offerings are wonderful complements to our already world-class lineup of destinations and attractions," said GDEcD Deputy Commissioner for Tourism Kevin Langston. "This year's cover is an opportunity to put a spotlight on Georgia's culinary tourism offerings and to provide visitors and locals with a true taste of Georgia." About The Georgia Department of Economic Development The Georgia Department of Economic Development (GDEcD) plans, manages and mobilizes state resources to attract new business investment to Georgia, drive the expansion of existing industry and small business, locate new markets for Georgia products, inspire tourists to visit Georgia and promote the state as a top destination for arts events and film, music and digital entertainment projects.

Commemorative Civil War Burning of Marietta ~ 11-8-14It's going to be a hot time in the old town of Marietta on Saturday, November 8, 2014, when they commemorate the 150th Anniversary of the Civil War, including the Burning of Marietta, with a real-life experience of General Sherman's devastating burning of the Historic Square and the City's triumphant rebirth. Please Note: Sorry, these historians do not need amateur assistance reenacting the burning of Marietta again. Thank you. Marietta effectively surrendered when Confederate General Joseph Johnston was forced to abandon the town on July 2, 1864. Even though the Union Army and federal troops had been occupying Marietta since July, Southern citizens who had remained saw no real activity until early November when trains began running at all hours of the day and night carrying wounded Union troops and various supplies. The trains' only destination was North, and fast. The reason for the urgency was simple and harsh – once the last train had gone north, the railroad and City would be burned and destroyed by General Sherman. In the days and weeks that followed, history would record the destruction of Downtown Marietta as one of the first steps towards General William Sherman's March to the Sea.
Events Scheduled for Burning of Marietta on November 8th
- Civil War Festival on the Square 10 am – 9 pm
- Kids' Games & Activities 12 pm – 5 pm (Games include a Bucket Brigade, Sherman DunkTank, Civil War era games, and various other fun events!
- Marietta Fire Department's Touch-A-Truck Event 12 pm – 5 pm
- Burning, Rebirth & Live Battle Skirmish at 8 pm
- Symphony on the Square
- Re-enactor Camp on the Square

Heavy Metal in Motion at Tellus Science Museum
The best toys for men, women, boys and girls are too expensive to buy. Good thing they'll be on display at Tellus Science Museum's Heavy Metal in Motion extravaganza!
You've heard the saying, "The only difference between men and boys is the price of their toys." That's just so wrong! First of all, kids toys are way more expensive than what men can afford to buy themselves … after they buy toys for their kids. The second reason that's bogus is because women have expensive toys these days too, like these $20,000 cell phones covers.
It's a good thing we can go to Tellus for this fabulously fun family adventure that's way more than just a car show. You'll see vintage cars, a race car and a helicopter right there at Tellus. Prepare yourself to see a real jet car!
Get ready to stick your fingers in your ears if it gets too loud when the souped-up engines start revving. Just so you won't miss a moment of the rumbling of the motors, Tellus will have a schedule of crank times on the day of the show, Saturday, October 18, 2014.
Kids can take a ride on a miniature train and slide down an inflatable slide shaped like a giant dump truck, while adults watch and wish they were young again.
There will also be a kid-sized model airplane at Tellus that will make a great photo opportunity. Inside Tellus, kids will be able to enjoy a variety of hands-on motion-related activities that will make them want to be scientists, win a Nobel prize and a million dollars, and spend it on their parents who took them to Tellus!

Sober Mommies
I don't really drink much normally and pregnant or not, I get super annoyed when people become obnoxious drunks, so I tend not to hang out too long if the main purpose of the socializing is drinking. My DH loves beer and he also knows if he drinks too much, I get very annoyed, so he *tries* not to... But if I feel like "drinking" I make a mocktail of some kind--margarita or bloody mary or something. Like today, some teachers after school are going to one of my favorite places where I usually get a regular bloody mary, but I'll order a virgin--you really can hardly tell the difference.
My husband gave up drinking with me, I didn't ask him too but he's always been that way where if I'm not drinking he won't either. I was always the heavier drinker in the relationship anyhow but I was glad to discover that it hasnt been hard for me to give it up cold turkey. I won't have wine until after I'm done breastfeeding so it'll be a while but DH is cool about it. Last week he had a few beers with his friend (I encouraged it so he could unwind) and he ended up hung over since he hadn't had a drink in so long... so, needless to say he won't be drinking for a while.
I would say just focus on the baby and make other delicious treats. I've learned that what I like about drinking is the taste, not necessarily getting buzzed. I was super in to lemony drinks so now I make lemony drinks with no alcohol. Its delicious and I keep sugar very low so its not that bad for me. I add cucumber/ muddle strawberries/ mint and whatever other fruits and veggies I have around and it's like I'm on vacation :)
thank god its not just me, i am not a big drinker anyway but i feel really left out with everyone around getting to drink, and i like to taste the yummy ones and now i cant, my bf even got me a bottle of chocolate wine because he remembered me saying i can drink little amounts of wine, which i thought was really sweet. my little bro is turning 21 and i cant join him for anything, glad my SO offered to take him out because most my fm doesnt really want to

My SO has agreed to not drink this pregnancy, we think it's just fair :) I have to do all the heavy lifting and labouring, so the least he could do is not drink the way we would normally!

Now I live in Pensacola, where the summer is filled with all kinds of beach activities-- which of course include alcohol.
I'm not an alcoholic, but I've discovered that I do normally drink a good bit. The hubs and I have agreed that after the baby arrives(a while after of course) I get a few girls night out!
"I'm just like any modern woman trying to have it all; loving husband, a family. It's just... I wish I had more time to seek out the dark forces and join their hellish crusade."

Introduction: The hypothesis that brief intermittent exercise-induced increases in human skeletal muscle metabolic mRNA is dependent on relative workload was investigated.
Methods: Trained (n = 10) and untrained (n = 8) subjects performed exhaustive intermittent cycling exercise (4 × 4 min at 85% of V˙O2peak, interspersed by 3 min). Trained subjects also performed the intermittent exercise at the same absolute workload as the untrained subjects, corresponding to 70% of V˙O2peak (n = 6).
Results: Exercise at 85% of V˙O2peak elevated (P < 0.001) venous plasma lactate to 10.1 ± 0.4 and 10.8 ± 0.5 mM in the trained and untrained subjects, respectively. Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ coactivator 1α (PGC-1α) mRNA expression was increased (P < 0.001) approximately four- to fivefold for several hours after exercise in both groups. After exercise at 70% of V˙O2peak, venous plasma lactate was less (P < 0.001) elevated (3.1 ± 0.7 mM) and PGC-1α mRNA content was less (P < 0.05) increased (approximately threefold) than after exercise at 85% of V˙O2peak. Likewise, pyruvate dehydrogenase kinase 4 and hexokinase II mRNA expressions were increased (P < 0.05) only after exercise performed at 85% of V˙O2peak in the trained subjects. Hypoxia-inducible factor 2α mRNA only increased (P < 0.05) 3 h into recovery in trained subjects, with no difference between the 70% and 85% of V˙O2peak trial. No change in hypoxia-inducible factor 1α, phosphofructokinase, citrate synthase, or lactate dehydrogenase, heart and muscle isoforms, mRNA expressions was detected after any of the exercise trials.
Conclusions: The relative intensity of brief intermittent exercise is of major importance for the exercise-induced increase of several mRNA, including PGC-1α.

An Open Letter to the Unemployment That Awaits Me.
Dear Unemployment,
Nearly 15 years have passed since our last forced pairing. I treated you so unfairly. You received no respect, no regard for your identity. Wardrobe shopping continued, $8-per-pound flavored coffees were brewed, comic-book and electronic-gadget collections expanded. I didn't even inconvenience myself to cancel HBO.
More time was spent emptying my savings and charging up my credit card than helping you gracefully transition away from my life. You were kept hidden, tucked away in my briefcase with outdated resumés, half-completed job applications, marked-up classified ads, and check stubs from the unemployment office. You humiliated me.
But now you are threatening to visit again. Your approach is fast enough to generate panic, slow enough to foster apathy. Your final arrival will be a surprise like the culmination of pregnancy—the exact moment, although expected, completely uncertain.
What questions you must be asking yourself as you journey toward me. Will you be ignored? Will you be disrespected? Will you get to visit long? Will you be hidden from my relatives and friends? Will your goal of disruption be satisfied? Will you generate humiliation?
Not this time. I didn't obfuscate, steal—destroy lives. I didn't tell analysts my company was in perfect health while selling stock by the bucketful. It wasn't me on the 50th floor filling my personal accounts with millions, telling employees that a bankrupt company couldn't afford their salary.
It wasn't me hiding in my tinted-window limo, driving up the back way through the secure gates while the rest of the employees who survived the bankruptcy were marched into the building in front of TV cameras, reporters positioned for attention, petitioning for some sound bite.
I wasn't sitting at home all day, watching CNN on the 62-inch plasma-screen TV screwed to the faux finish in the 800-square-foot bedroom of my mansion—furnished with 150-year-old furniture previously owned by royalty, walls adorned with paintings by names I can't pronounce—while lesser employees cleaned up the corporate disorder fostered by my personal greed.
In truth, I stuck around, helped clean up after those people. I remained despite 10,000 layoffs, countless indictments, and even jail terms. I will not be ashamed when you arrive, Unemployment.
And don't get comfortable at our next reunion; your stay will be short, your calamity will not reign. This time, I will be prepared for the day my electronic security badge no longer opens the doors at Enron.
See you soon,
Joe Lippeatt

It doesn't matter which version of Hatton shows up because JLC will MAKE him fight on the inside instead of clinching. He can get really rough on the inside so Hatton will have to fight him.

His clinch tactics have worked against larger guys and southpaws, but Castillo is neither.
Should be an amazing fight.
And pluse, if you think about it, Castillo is very squirmy and hard to clinch and does good body work DURING the clinch.
So if the HUGMAN shows up, Hatton would waste a lot of energy trying to hug to no avail, and when he does succeed in clinching he'll get hit anyway.
Let me put it this way, if the HUGMAN shows up, he'll turn into the HITMAN after 2 or 3 rounds

It is my personal opinion that Ricky Hatton will never be "The Hitman" again. His struggles with weight over the years and his reoccuring hip problems will probably prohibit him from ever shining again. I think he peaked when he fought Maussa and Tsyzu and will probably never be in that same condition again. From here on out, it's "The Hugman".

The fights going to be rough I reckon. Really rough. People on here are gonna criticise Hatton for it but it'll be how he's always fought and the non-purists will appreciate it more than the purists.

I would imagine that ANYONE who Thinks Castillo will have the Upperhand on the Inside.. Does not know Ricky Hatton..
I am in no way dissing Castillo.. he is one of the ebst Inside fighters..No doubt..
But the thing is.. SO is Ricky Hatton.. Which is why if you know your stuff.. This is such a promising match up..
When all is said and Done I predict Hatton will win.. He is Bigger, Younger,Faster and the Over all better boxer..

Home : Outdoors : Garden and yard : Stop animals digging in patio plants and window boxes
If you have squirrels or cats that just keep digging in your patio pots, containers, and in the window boxes, try rubbing camphor oil along the rims of the containers - the entire way around the containers. Animals seem to hate the smell of the camphor oil and will leave them alone, leaving you with beautiful and thriving plants!
Reapply when the smell fades or you notice that the rains have washed off the camphor oil.

Michael Allen Johnson, 19, of the 1300 block of Bettis Academy Road, Trenton, was arrested and charged with assault and battery with intent to kill and possession of a weapon during the commission of a violent crime, Aiken County sheriff's Sgt. Dave Myers said in a news release. The Richmond County Sheriffs Office assisted in locating Mr. Johnson today in Augusta after receiving a tip concerning his whereabouts.
On Jan. 8, investigators believe the suspect approached a North Augusta man, pointed a pistol at him and demanded money. When the victim ran from Mr. Johnson, the victim said he shot at him, striking him in the leg.
Mr. Johnson had been on the Aiken County Most wanted list since the incident almost a year ago.
Mr. Johnson is being held at the Richmond County jail pending extradition.
