Pollinators are beneficial for many wild and crop plants. As a mass-flowering crop, oilseed rape has received much focus in terms of its pollination requirements but despite a threefold increase in area of cultivation of this crop in Ireland over the past 5 years, little is known about its pollination here. We surveyed the flower visiting insects found in commercial winter oilseed rape fields and evaluated the importance of different pollinator groups, investigated the contribution of insect pollination to oilseed rape seed production, and estimated the economic value of insect pollination to the crop at a national level. Our data showed that winter oilseed rape is visited by a wide variety of insect species, including the honeybee, bumblebees, solitary bees, and hoverflies. The honeybee, Eristalis hoverflies and bumblebees (especially Bombus sensu stricto and B. lapidarius) were the best pollinators of winter oilseed rape based on the number of pollen grains they carry, visitation rates per flower and their relative abundance per field. Exclusion of pollinators resulted in a 27 % decrease in the number of seeds produced, and a 30 % decrease in seed weight per pod in winter crops, with comparable values from a spring oilseed rape field also. The economic value of insect pollination to winter oilseed rape was estimated as €2.6 million per annum, while the contribution to spring oilseed rape was €1.3 million, resulting in an overall value of €3.9 million per annum. We can suggest the appropriate conservation and management of both honeybees and wild pollinators in agricultural areas to ensure continued provision of pollination services to oilseed rape, as a decrease in insect numbers has the potential to negatively influence crop yields.

Salman invites Ranbir for a kick
Subscribe to Filmibeat
Sources said that Salman had invited Ranbir to join him for a football match this Independence Day while they were chatting at Mehboob Studio. Ranbir, who is a huge football fan, is obviously very excited.
The actor who plans to spend the day playing football with his friends has also asked younger brothers, Arbaaz and Sohail to invite their friends. Expected to join the Khans are Ranbir, Dino Morea, Ashish Chaudhary, Vatsal Seth and music directors Sajid-Wajid. Many more people are expected to join the list.
The venue of the match is still unknown but according to sources, it will be held at one of the Bandra grounds.

I was invited to Amukoko by Sister Patricia Hoey, a petite Irish missionary nun who has been working in Nigeria for three decades. For the past few years she has been running a health clinic in the heart of Amukoko, which is built on reclaimed marshland.
An estimated one million people live in Amukoko. They are among the poorest in Lagos, but are not the worst off: they have homes, some have jobs, they even have a couple of broken-down schools.
When it rains, the canals and open drains overflow. The smell of sewage around the Medical Missionaries of Mary compound was strong but the nuns said they only noticed it when it got really hot. ''These people wouldn't live here if they had anywhere else to go,'' said Sister Patricia. "They come from every state in Nigeria and every country in West Africa. There's not much of what you'd call 'social cohesion'. They're drawn by the prospect of work and more are coming all the time."
It would make more sense if I were to meet some of the residents, she suggested. Yemi Akintimehin, a 33-year-old health worker who grew up here, would take me along on one of her home visits to a slum where people walked in mud, the roads were strewn with refuse and there were waist- high piles of rubbish.
Josephine Nwokocha, the object of the visit, lives in a room with her husband and six children. Under the same roof, on either side of a dank corridor which runs the length of a typical single-storey boarding house, are 21 other families. They share a single latrine. But the Nwokochas consider themselves lucky: some families live a dozen to a small room.
''Things aren't too bad because my husband has a job with a shipping company," said Mrs Nwokocha. "I take the kids to the nuns every morning for a meal. We eat again in the evening when my husband comes home."
Here is how their money works out: Mr Nwokocha earns 2,000 naira a month (pounds 16) Rent is 500 naira a month. So there is 1,500 naira for food, transport, medicines and other necessities. Mrs Nwokocha says she is happier here than in her village in south-east Nigeria.
All of her children are under six. She has a set of twins. I learnt later that she probably had to leave her village as twins are considered evil, unnatural, and their mothers are often cast out for witchcraft.
"This child", said Ms Akintimehin, pointing to the baby at Mrs Nwokocha's breast, "is not well and his legs are too thin to support him. In fact, all these kids are malnourished.'' The situation should improve, however, when Mrs Nwokocha gets the market stall she has long coveted. She has been accepted into a scheme run by the nuns to set up women in petty trading: old clothes, bottles or simple foodstuffs. She will have to pay rent for her pitch.
We make our way through the smoke-filled corridor - some families are cooking on charcoal stoves - and into the mire of the street. Ms Akintimehin points out the local sights: a school with no windows and 9,000 pupils and, next door, the Sambot Hotel, which is a brothel.
"Like everything else here, sex is a commodity", said Sister Patricia."There's lots of prostitution. Sometimes you couldn't call it that. They sell their bodies to get kids through school."
The nuns - two Nigerian and two Irish - run a leadership course which deals with everything from inter-personal to community relations. They try to encourage basic social analysis: why are the streets so filthy, how come no one makes an effort to clean them, why is there no civic spirit?
Does it improve things? Not much, they reply with a smile ... not much.

Epidemiologists increasingly realize that species interactions (e.g. selective predation) can determine when epidemics start and end. We hypothesize here that resource quality can also strongly influence disease dynamics: epidemics can be inhibited when resource quality for hosts is too poor and too good. In three lakes, resource quality for the zooplankton… (More)
Some aspects of habitat seem to enhance the spread of disease whereas others inhibit it. Here, we illustrate and identify mechanisms that connect habitat to epidemiology using a case study of disease in plankton.

The "healthy herds" hypothesis suggests that selective predators, by acting as parasite sinks, may inhibit the start of epidemics and reduce prevalence of infection.

Donald, Goosen and Janzen among those earning Open spots
(Reuters) - England's former world number one Luke Donald led a host of big-name players who fought their way through 36 holes of qualifying on Monday to secure spots at next week's U.S. Open.
At 10 sectional sites throughout the country, little-known competitors and former champions alike were battling for the chance to qualify for the June 18-21 U.S. Open at Chambers Bay in University Place, Washington.
Donald, a five-times winner on the PGA Tour who tied for eighth in the 2013 U.S. Open at Merion, fired scores of level-par 72 and 68 to advance with three other players from a field of 70 in the qualifier at The Bear's Club in Jupiter, Florida.
"It's been a while since I walked 36 holes, but we made it! @patgossnugolf did a fine job on the bag," Donald tweeted, referring to his swing coach Pat Goss, the man who recruited him and brought him to Northwestern University in the late 1990s.
Twice U.S. Open champion Lee Janzen, who clinched his first victory on the over-50s Champions Tour at the ACE Group Classic in February, headed four qualifiers in Purchase, New York.
Janzen, winner of the 1993 and 1998 U.S. Opens, shot 69 and 68 at Century Country Club and Old Oaks Country Club to book his place at the year's second major for the first time since 2008.
South African Retief Goosen, U.S. Open champion in 2001 and 2004, advanced with nine other players from a field of 121 in Memphis, Tennessee.
Japan's Ryo Ishikawa and Colombian Camilo Villegas were among 15 players who secured Open spots in Columbus, Ohio, where Washington State native Michael Putnam led the way after shooting 68 and 64.
Swede David Lingmerth, who won his first PGA Tour title by beating Justin Rose in a playoff for the Memorial Tournament on Sunday, failed to advance from Columbus after scores of 71 and 70. Continued...

Diego Oppenheimer is worried that the Googles and the Facebooks will dominate the world of Artificial Intelligence.
It's a legitimate worry. Elon Musk and Sam Altman are worried about the same thing. That's why they created a startup called OpenAI. In recent years, Google and Facebook have snapped up so many researchers at the heart of the deep learning movement, an AI movement that's rapidly reinventing everything from speech recognition to security. So, Musk and Altman grabbed several top AI researchers from Google and Facebook and vowed to share their work with the world at large.
Now, Oppenheimer and his startup, Algorithmia, are doing their part in the battle against AI hegemony. Algorithmia is what Oppenheimer calls an open marketplace for algorithms—code that companies and developers can use to beef up their websites and apps—and this marketplace now includes deep learning algorithms that handle tasks like face recognition and character recognition. Whereas OpenAI shares raw AI research, Algorithmia offers working algorithms designed to slot right into new services. "Maybe the future was already invented," Oppenheimer says. "It's just stuck in academic papers."
It's part of a much larger effort to democratize AI. Startups like Clarifai, Nara Logics, and MetaMind (now owned by Salesforce.com) also offer tools for building deep learning into any application. And giants like Google, Amazon, and Microsoft are building cloud computing services that work in similar ways.
Algorithmia uses the same marketplace model that startups have applied to so many other goods and services, including everything from artisanal crafts and graphic design to real estate and good ol' retail. Anyone can upload an algorithm to the market, and then anyone can pay to use it.

Haha...please excuse the tears splattered on the page...I'm an emotional one...you know that better than anyone.

They won't...

Peshawar, Dec 20(ANI): At least two tankers, carrying fuel for NATO forces in Afghanistan, were attacked by militants in Pakistan's Khyber tribal region on Monday.
According to the Dawn, the tankers were completely destroyed after being hit by rockets in the tribal area's Jamrud tehsil.
Exchange of fire also took place between militants and security forces.
After the attack, the Pak-Afghan highway had been blocked and supplies to NATO forces in Afghanistan were temporarily suspended. (ANI)

Stocks added to early gains near midday Friday with tech stocks leading a charge to new highs.
The Nasdaq forged ahead in the stock market today, up 0.9% to a new high. The Dow Jones industrial average and the S&P 500 held their early highs, and were up 0.5% each. Volume remained heavy, boosted by options expiration trading, up 49% on the Nasdaq and 146% on the NYSE, compared to trade at the same time Thursday.
Software developers were all over the map in Friday's session. RedHat (RHT) continued to hold the high ground among S&P 500 stocks with a 19% gain. Tibco Software (TIBX) remained down 15% after reporting disappointing Q3 results late Thursday.
Marketing software developer Responsys (MKTG) vaulted 38% higher on news that Oracle (ORCL) planned to buy the San Bruno, Calif.-based company for around $1.5 billion. Oracle shares rose a fraction.
VMware (VMW) snapped up 4% in powerful trade. The enterprise software developer is just below its Oct. 22 high, and not quite 4% above an 87.51 buy point in a cup with handle base.
Makers of three-dimensional printers were posting strong gains. Stratasys (SSYS) climbed 3%, 3D Systems (DDD) more than 2% — both in heavy trade. 3D Systems' move pushed it to a new high.
Stratasys, in a five-week pullback, is attempting to rebound off its 10-week moving average.

Layer up with the Karokora for warmth in a stylish parka length jacket. Lightweight and packable for travel, the Karokora Parka has a fixed hood and two concealed zip hand pockets. With a 30 center back and 700 fill down, this parka is ideal for cold weather walks or traveling to and from work. Features: Lightweight and packable into stow bag in hood Fixed down hood Concealed zip hand pockets Two way center front zip Internal hidden elastic cuff Embroidered logo on wearers left sleeve and upper right back Avg. Weight: 464 g 15.4 oz Center Back: 30 Fabric: shell: 100% nylon lining: 100% nylon insulation: 700 fill down Technology: Goose Down Insulation: The North FaceR uses only the highest quality goose down in all of its products. Each lot of down is thoroughly tested at three stages of production for loftiness, moisture resistance and ability to regain loft after compression. The fill peer of goose down is an indicator of two important features: the warmth to weight ratio and compressibility, both critical to the users's warmth and comfort. True fill power is measured by placing one ounce of down in a graduated cylinder and measuring the volume the down occupies in cubic inches. The North FaceR products are insulated with exclusive, high fill power down ranging from 550 fill to 950 fill, which represents the highest quality down commercially available. DWR Finish: Durable water repellent DWR finish on fabrics and zips gives long life to waterproof technologies. The addition of an enhanced hydrophobic treatment enables DWR to adhere to materials for an extended lifetime.

Item description for Growing Up Claus by Corina Zurcher...Overview
Kristofer Kringle Claus XV is the third and youngest son born to Santa Claus. There were twin older brothers to deal with, allergies to overcome, and torments to endure from his enemies--the elves. Yet somehow, Krissy Claus and his part shaggy dog, part abominable snowman pal, Snowflake, survived to tell this tale.
Publishers Description
This is the story of Kristofer Kringle Claus XV, the third and youngest son born to Santa Claus. Growing up in the North Pole, surrounded by candy, cookies, and toys, one might think "Krissy" was a spoiled child. Not so, dear reader, not so. There were twin older brothers to deal with, allergies to overcome, and torments to endure from his enemies---the elves. Yet somehow, Krissy Claus--along with his part shaggy dog-part abominable snowman pal, Snowflake--survived to tell this tale. This is his story of triumph; his story of hope; his story of what it was like...growing up Claus.

About 10 years ago my then-wife left me for one of my best friends, which wasn't a cause for wild celebration. In fact, it altered my plans so radically that, in a very public place, I threatened to kill him. I suspect that he didn't take the threat too seriously, firstly because I'm a fairly placid and rather squeamish bloke with an aversion to guns and ammo, but mainly because of the context. I was experiencing loss, betrayal and anger, and even in combination that stops well short of murderousness. So he, and everyone else within earshot, made the reasonable decision not to call the police.
Paul Chambers, a trainee accountant from Doncaster, became cross back in January when his local airport closed due to bad weather just before he was due to fly to Belfast to visit a girl he was keen on. He expressed his frustration by posting a message on Twitter: "Crap! Robin Hood Airport is closed. You've got a week and a bit to get your shit together, otherwise I'm blowing the airport sky high!" Several facts indicated that his intentions were benign, not least that he posts using his full name and helpfully displays his photo and his hometown, which hoaxers and terrorists tend to avoid. And the message would have slipped into the ether, had an airport duty manager not done a casual Twitter search for "Robin Hood airport" some five days later. Over the ensuing weeks there followed an unlikely sequence of events akin to someone incorrectly calling the toss of a coin 30 times in succession. The duty manager, airport security, Special Branch, arresting officers, the CPS and finally a judge all appeared to ignore the context, instead deciding that Chambers deserved punishment for posting a menacing message. That punishment was handed down last week: a £1,000 fine and a criminal record that has ended his career as an accountant.
Legal bloggers have become very exercised over the intricacies of this case, and almost unanimously agree that it's a disgrace. Online opinion is slightly more divided; on Sunday, following the re-closure of the same airport, thousands reposted Chambers' original message to demonstrate their solidarity, but others have openly criticised him for either being stupid, or not funny. But Chambers never claimed to be a comedian, merely a fallible human being using the internet. Detractors may scoff, but Twitter, Facebook et al are becoming extensions of our personalities, and using these services to express ourselves is becoming as instinctive as ranting down the pub, or bitching with a fellow shopper at a supermarket checkout. And the judge's obvious lack of familiarity with online interaction ultimately led him to make a flawed decision.
It was established very early on that Chambers posed no credible threat, so from that point he became the fall guy whose conviction might provide a warning never to digitally express your emotions using hyperbole. But it's not working. Right now on Twitter I can see threats to the lives of Lady Gaga, a dog called Sammie, and – thanks to the opening line of a certain Betjeman poem – the entire town of Slough. If the CPS believes that semi-public messages between friends that appear menacing – regardless of intent – should result in prosecution, they're going to be awfully busy. Chambers, by all accounts a mild, unassuming chap, has been encouraged to appeal by lawyers ("I just don't want to make things worse," Chambers said to me last week) and a fund has been set up to support him: bit.ly/twitterjoke.
Along with Xbox 360s and Rubik's Cubes, mobile phones have now been banned from David Cameron's weekly cabinet meetings. While this could conceivably have been prompted by an ear-splitting N-Dubz ringtone favoured by William Hague, it's more likely to be an issue of "workplace incivility" that's been identified and explored by Christine Pearson, professor at the Thunderbird School of Global Management in Arizona. According to her research, nearly all of us think that using phones during meetings is rude, but two-thirds of us do it anyway. And the excuse we often give – that we're increasing productivity through multitasking – doesn't wash with neuroscientists. "Dividing attention between competing stimuli makes us less efficient," they say; all we're really trying to do is escape the room without physically leaving it. So Cameron's right: nothing's more likely to ruin a fragile political coalition than intimating that the Home Secretary's opinions are less important than your iPhone, no matter how true that might be.

Having some relatives in law enforcement here in Missouri, I'm up pretty up to speed on what they already know about me or don't know about me when an officer approaches the car. It varies by the type of search they run. My question however, pertains to the transportation of a firearm through the state of Illinois. Obviously not a gun friendly state and if an officer is able to see my CCW endorsement when he runs any checks (should I be pulled over). I obviously would not carry it on my person when driving over there, but I use the state as a passageway once in a while to get where I'm going. The pointed question is, can an out of state officer (local or trooper) see my endorsement?

@archer51 -Thanks for the welcome. I have the endorsement on a non-drivers license so that it is not physically present on my driver's license, just not sure how much info comes up when an out of state officer runs it. I'd hate to get asked about it if I'm just trying to pass through the state peaceably.
Endorsement seen or not...
Empty gun, locked in trunk with empty mags and ammo stored separately, you would be good for travel thru Russia or China...in IL, I think you'll be good to go...follow the speed limits carefully!
Additional Note About IL:
Illinois Concealed Carry Permit Information
Vehicle Carry:
There is more than one way to legally transport a firearm. However, in order to be in compliance with all statutes, it is recommended all firearms be transported:
Enclosed in a case and,
By persons who have a valid FOID card.
Non- residents must be legally eligible to possess or acquire firearms and ammunition in their state of residence. It is recommended that, in order to be in compliance with all statutes, non-residents transport all firearms:
Unloaded, and
Enclosed in a case, and
Not immediately accessible or broken down in a nonfunctioning state.
Proverbs 27:12 says: The prudent see danger and take refuge, but the simple keep going and suffer for it.

Actually the ammo does not have to be stored separately. More so, the gun does not have to be locked in the trunk. It only must be in "a container". For example, the Illinois Supreme Court ruled that the center console of a vehicle is a container for purposes of transporting a firearm in illinois. (Don't count on the average cop to know this, however.)
Best way to win a gun fight? "That's easy, don't show up." --Wyatt Earp
--If youre carrying a gun for self-defense, dont practice like a marksman. Practice like a gunfighter.
--Always be nice until it's time to not be nice.
Or avoid IL altogether.

Gun free zones
are safe havens-
I think that unless it says CCW (or whatever your state calls it) right there on your drivers license, and out of state LEO is not going to know about it. I think that even if it is tied to DL that is only a Home State link.
I doubt other state LEOs have your CCW permit info. And as long as the gun is unloaded and enclosed in a case, you're good. You can even keep ammo in the same case. However be aware that Illinois' weapons law does not preempt local ordinances which could make it illegal to have a gun in your car. I wish I did not have to travel in Illinois but my aging parents live there.
I am driving from southern MO to Nashville, TN tomorrow and I will have to go through about 1 mile of Illinois south of Cairo. Hopefully, I can risk it on that little one mile stretch.
In Michigan the CPL endorsement is tied to vehicles through your registered license plate so yes they see it. I explained this to my wife and daughter since all my vehicles are in my name they should be prepared to answer is their a weapon in your car if an officer pulls them over.
I would assume that any officer running those tags has the ability to see it.
I am not convinced that an Illinos LOE would know what a CCW endorsement ment if it showed up on your drivers license. I am sure they have never saw one from their home state. I would just drive around Illinos. I sure would n0ot spend any money in Illinos.
Good people do not need laws to tell them to act responsibly, while bad people will find a way around laws. Plato

The 5-HT5A receptor is a member of a new subfamily of serotonin [5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT)] receptors recently cloned from the human and rodent brain. The role of this receptor in normal brain functions as well as its possible involvement in pathological states is still to be determined. We therefore studied the regional distribution and cellular… (More)

The skeletal structures of the face and throat are derived from cranial neural crest cells (NCCs) that migrate from the embryonic neural tube into a series of branchial arches (BAs). The first arch (BA1) gives rise to the upper and lower jaw cartilages, whereas hyoid structures are generated from the second arch (BA2). The Hox paralogue group 2 (PG2) genes,… (More)

Be aware of cost-cutting measures being implemented by your company, and whether your workload has become lighter. If your work is cyclical in nature, some of that work could be dispersed to fewer employees. Adrianne Keally with Office Team says there are other tell-tale signs and scenarios, such as…
"If your position or your department is not revenue-generating for the company. You know, you can ask yourself the question 'do you directly contribute to generation of revenue or the reduction of expenses?' Are you no longer included in the meetings that you used to be included in? The final thing that we've noticed is if your manager's showing an increased interest in kind of the status of your project, because that can typically be a sign that they're looking to see when they're going to distribute to someone else, or where they're going to need to bring somebody else in."
Keally says you can save money and prepare, if you suspect the worst is about to happen.
"I would say always have your resume together. That's what you're going to start sending out first. Your job search today may not be the same as it was a year ago, five years ago, ten years ago. So start to network with the people that you've met in your career. Continue to act professional. Continue to do a good job. Those are references for you in the future. And I would say, you know, look for things to do that might increase your marketability — some extra courses, maybe that you start to volunteer — and again, your networking groups become larger."
Keally says although observing multiple red flags indicating you're in a vulnerable position, it's important not to panic or read too deeply into one or two indicators.

just wondered if the rear adjuster (blue bit in bottom of pic) has to be used, my suspension is set to lowest on the rear so the 2 parts of the adjuster are wound into eachother all the way, that gives about 10-12mm height to the spring. Can you just use the inner or outer part of the adjuster on its own or do without the adjuster part completely?
without the adjuster there, the damper will extend all the way and spring may be looser (could easily be pulled out) when wheels jacked up, so because of that would it be unsafe for driving on the road even if spring is always under compression?
pic is an example, im using raceland coilovers

Record numbers of Britons underwent an organ transplant last year to save, extend or improve their lives, figures from the NHS show today.
Hospitals carried out a total of 3,706 transplants of organs including livers, kidneys, hearts and lungs in 2009-10, up 5% on the year before, according to NHS Blood and Transplant's annual report.
This was made possible by the numbers of deceased and living donors also setting new records. Organs were retrieved from 959 dead donors and 1,061 living donors, up by 7% and 10% respectively.
The agency said the NHS's increasing success at persuading people to become organ donors was due to improvements such as the employment since 2008 of more than 200 specialist nurses who work mainly in hospital intensive care units, alongside a network of 185 clinical organ donation leaders.
But some organisations including the British Medical Association renewed their calls for a debate about switching to a system of "presumed consent", in which citizens would automatically go on to the organ donor register unless they specifically objected.
The BMA welcomed the increases in transplants but pointed out that the number of patients waiting for a new organ had risen slightly too.
About 8,000 people are on the waiting list, of whom some 7,000 need a new kidney.

The high street book retailer Waterstone's, which conducted the survey on what makes a classic, receives some pretty poor notices for some of the books on its shelves.
D H Lawrence's Sons And Lovers is described by Julie Burchill as "perspiring pervert gets it wrong again" although Roy Hattersley considers it "the best thing written about the tortured relationship only sons often have with demanding mothers".
J G Ballard says the American novelists Thomas Pynchon, Philip Roth and Norman Mailer seem "over-blown and self-immersed". Roy Hattersley will upset much of Scotland by calling Walter Scott's lvanhoe "a farrago of historical nonsense combined with maudlin romance". The historian Alison Weir, author of The Six Wives of Henry VIII, pleads: "Could somebody please assure me that Virginia Woolf's mind-numbing To The Lighthouse, which I was forced to read at school, will never again be called a classic!" And The Independent's literary editor, Boyd Tonkin, accuses Kingsley Amis's Lucky Jim of "setting the tone for 40 years of boorishness".
The children's author Shirley Hughes lays into C S Lewis's Narnia books. She says: "As religion will undoubtedly be a great force in the next century, people may be increasingly repelled by Lewis's hijacking of the Crucifixion and Resurrection ... the underlying elements of lugubrious guilt may also be unacceptable to adults. But these books are so readable that to most children all this is simply water off a duck's back."
The books the respondents choose as classics cover most of the usual suspects, with James Joyce's Ulysses top of the list and described by the author Andre Brink as "that inimitable fanfare for the common man in which centuries of accumulated storytelling erupt in the miraculous and exuberant celebration of a single day".
There is also distaste for calling a novel a "classic". The biographer Michael Holroyd says: "Most often, in recent years, it has been used by desperate marketing men and women in publishing houses who seldom have time to read the books they are promoting and who trust that the `classic label' will somehow signal a prestige purchase. So it has become a lazy word, taken out and reused when- ever precise descriptive words are unforthcoming."
Ms Burchill, while not neglecting to place her own novel Ambition among "the 10 essential classic novels for the next 100 years," declares that "calling a book a classic is the quickest way to put children off them at school, as I know from bitter experience".
Many of those questioned feel schools cause damage by force-feeding classics to the young at an early age. The author Harry Ritchie says: "If it was written by somebody who was long since dead, and if you had to study it at school or university and/or it bored you, then a book was definitely a classic."
TV presenter Vanessa Feltz remembers a classic at school being "like a cabbage. Deeply dreary but somehow extra good for you." Keen to move from the written to the visual, she dismisses Watership Down by Richard Adams with the words: "I prefer Walt Disney."
One voice of disagreement comes from Chris Woodhead, HM's chief inspector of schools. He says: "I did not feel that I was forced to read classic texts at school. As a young child, I progressed from fairy tales to Biggles with a great deal of pleasure. There were times at secondary school when the detailed textual analysis of novels which struck me as irrelevant and overvalued left me cold.
"But then, in my O-level year, I read, initially with some reluctance, Wuthering Heights and I realised the impact great literature could have."
Perhaps the neatest definition of a classic comes from the journalist Cosmo Landesman who describes such a work as "a timeless read that I never have time to read".
Roy Hattersley dislikes
Ivanhoe by Sir Walter Scott: "A farrago of historical nonsense."
The Jungle Book by Rudyard Kipling: "Worthless advice to children of the Empire."
The Thirty-nine Steps by John Buchan: "Any half-witted German agent would have shot him by page 5."
Rassels by Samuel Johnson: "Unreadable."
Julie Burchill dislikes
Animal Farm by George Orwell: "Simplistic tosh."
Sons and Lovers by D H Lawrence: "Perspiring pervert gets it wrong again."
On the Road by Jack Kerouac: "Stoned fag too doped to get out of the closet."
1984 by George Orwell: "Commie-baiting at a level The Sun would find unacceptable."
Shirley Hughes dislikes
The Narnia Books by C S Lewis: "Hijacking of the Crucifixion and Resurrection."
Peter Pan in Kensington Gardens by J M Barrie: "Neurotic sentimentality about the state of infancy."
The Forsyte Saga by John Galsworthy: "Most female readers long for Irene's knicker elastic to give way."
Vanessa Feltz dislikes
The Mayor of Casterbridge by Thomas Hardy: "Infernal bore."
Mansfield Park by Jane Austen: "Anaemic heroine afflicted by headaches."
Watership Down by Richard Adams: "I prefer Walt Disney."
The Golden Bowl by Henry James: "Were ever sentences so laboriously entangled?"

Creative information exploration refers to a novel framework for exploring large volumes of heterogeneous information. In particular, creative information exploration seeks to discover new, surprising and valuable relationships in data that would not be revealed by conventional information retrieval, data mining and data analysis technologies. While our approach is inspired by work in the field of computational creativity, we are particularly interested in a model of creativity proposed by Arthur Koestler in the 1960s. Koestler's model of creativity rests on the concept of bisociation. Bisociative thinking occurs when a problem, idea, event or situation is perceived simultaneously in two or more "matrices of thought" or domains. When two matrices of thought interact with each other, the result is either their fusion in a novel intellectual synthesis or their confrontation in a new aesthetic experience. This article discusses some of the foundational issues of computational creativity and bisociation in the context of creative information exploration.

A TOP British diplomat has sparked fury after suggesting Argentinians are
"gay" and "cowards" in an amazing Twitter gaffe.
Jon Benjamin, Britain's ambassador to Chile, quoted from a football chant sung
by Chilean fans about their South American neighbours. He meant to send it
in a private message to a pal, but instead posted it to his 10,000 followers.
One angry Argentinian Twitter user threatened to beat him up. Another called
his tweet "an insult" to all Argentinians who lost their lives in the
Mr Benjamin — on his first Ambassador posting in Santiago — sent his tweet
after securing a ticket for last night's Chile versus Argentina World Cup
The lewd terrace song, chanted in Spanish, says: "Argentinians, gays, they
took the Falklands off you because you are cowards."
Mr Benjamin tweeted: "Which islands did they take off who and for being what?
Perhaps I'll discover the answer at the national stadium."
Argentina's ambassador to Chile Gines Gonzalez said the Brit was guilty of
"stupidity". Ex-Chilean minister Pablo Bello called his comments "bad taste".
Mr Benjamin deleted the tweet and apologised after Argentine newspapers
printed it.
He said: "I'm sorry I offended with a private message that I published by
mistake. I feel great affection for my Argentine friends."

President Nicolas Sarkozy announced a larger than expected government reshuffle last night, sidelining his emblematic, young black minister Rama Yade and giving France its first overtly gay cabinet minister.
Six ministers were fired and two departed for the European Parliament, including the controversial justice minister, Rachida Dati. The most prominent casualties were the culture minister, Christine Albanel, dumped for failing to deliver a law on illegal internet downloading, and the former France rugby team coach, Bernard Laporte, dropped to make way for Mme Yade's humiliating, sideways move from human rights to sport.
President Sarkozy had hoped to anger his political opposition by capturing another left-wing minister as part of his policy of political and racial "ouverture". In the end, he had to settle for recruiting a celebrated, left-wing name, but not a politician.
The film-maker, writer and TV presenter Frédéric Mitterrand, 61, nephew of the late President François Mitterrand, will become culture minister, a very high-profile job in France. This appointment, welcomed by many in the artistic world, will irritate the Catholic, conservative right. M. Mitterrand is a vociferous campaigner for homosexual rights and a columnist in the gay magazine, Tétu.
The reshuffle left most major posts, including Prime Minister François Fillon, foreign minister Bernard Kouchner and finance minister Christine Lagarde, untouched. The interior minister, Michèle Alliot-Marie moves to justice to replace Mme Dati. She is replaced at the politically sensitive interior ministry by a Sarkozy childhood friend and loyalist, Brice Hortefeux.
President Sarkozy also took the opportunity to settle a few scores and punish ministers who had defied or disappointed him. Rama Yade, 32, the strikingly beautiful, Senegalese-born junior foreign minister for human rights, was one of the great symbols of M. Sarkozy's "ouverture" to racial minorities, women and youth when she was first appointed in 2007. She has since angered the President by taking an independent line on Libya and China and refusing to be sent into internal exile to the European Parliament.
So much symbolism was heaped on Mme Yade's appointment, and her personal popularity is so great, that the president dared not fire her outright. The move to sport – and the abolition of her old human rights job – will however be interpreted as a punishment.
With Mme Dati also leaving the cabinet in semi-disgrace, the Sarkozy experiment with positive discrimination in ministerial office has come to a rapid and unfortunate conclusion. Mme Dati's departure had been ordained since February when she agreed, reluctantly, to run in the European Parliament elections.
Socialist politicians crowed last night that the President's policy of party-political "ouverture" was also over. Michel Sapin, a leading member of the Parti Socialiste, said the President had been forced "to play with family names" because he could not attract any more defectors from the Left.
The firing of Bernard Laporte, the former France rugby coach, is equally a setback for M. Sarkozy's policy of ignoring deserving claimants in his own centre-right party and reaching out to non-politicians. M. Laporte is generally agreed to have been a failure as sports minister.
The new government marks a return to the more normal spoils system with the promotion of several centre-right politicians who felt badly treated when ignored in 2007. The most obvious example is the parliamentarian, Pierre Lellouche, who regards himself as a great expert on international affairs. He was overlooked two years ago but is promoted to Europe minister.
President Sarkozy and M. Fillon had been forecast to make only minor changes after a relatively good showing for their centre-right party, the Union pour un Mouvement Populaire (UMP), in the European elections. Other changes included the appointment of the centrist, Michel Mercier as agriculture minister, replacing Michel Barnier who goes to the European Parliament. Xavier Darcos moves from education to work and social relations, replaced by the government spokesman, Luc Chatel.Reuse content
