Part 1
The wolf dropped the security guard next to the other guard that the Iron Soldiers had taken care of at the front reception.
"You didn't kill him?" The wolf asked. A male voice, distorted by the helmet.
"No, sir! Just like you ordered, we only knocked him out." One of the Iron Soldiers replied. A female voice, also distorted.
"Good. Tie them up."
The two Iron Soldiers took out plastic ties and bounded the guard's ankles and wrists. When they were done, the front door opened.
The three looked in the direction of the front door in surprise. A lone man stood there.
The wolf looked at the man, who looked like he was in his mid-twenties. He had a suit on, but otherwise, there was nothing distinguishable about him.
The wolf snarled, "And just who might you be?"
The man smirked. Then he undid the button on his suit jacket and pulled one side of it back, revealing a strange device that he had on, at where the belt buckle would be. It was a white, rectangular, mechanical looking object with a red orb in the middle.
Proudly, the man declared, "I am the knight who delivers justice!"
He pressed a button on the side of the device on his belt, and yelled, "Suit up!"
Squares exploded from the red orb on the device. Then, as if drawn by some magnetic force, they flew back towards the man and covered him, forming an armoured suit around him.
After the suit had finished forming around him, he stated his name, "Justice Knight!"
Justice Knight was now covered in blue armour, with the exception of two silver plates across his chest. The device with the red orb was still on the front of the his waist. His helmet had a black, rectangular visor across where his eyes would be, two gray antennas sticking out from the middle of the helmet, above the visor, and a gray plate covering the nose and mouth areas. On the left side of his chest was a simple, small emblem that combined the letters J and K so that the K was sticking out of the J.
"So this is the secret exosuit that the government has been working on?" The wolf commented. "Well, since you were kind enough to introduce yourself, let me return the gesture. I am Iron Wolf of the Iron Legion."
Then, Iron Wolf took a fighting stance. To the two Iron Soldiers, he said, "Four, Nine. Secure the what we came here for."
"Yes, sir!" A distorted male voice this time, coming from one of the Iron Soldiers. The two Iron Soldiers started to run towards the deeper parts of the building.
Justice Knight ran towards the soldiers to try to stop them, but the Iron Wolf jumped in between the knight and his targets. "Sorry, but I can't let you do that."
"Of course not..." Justice Knight took a fighting stance as well.

Weekly Overview: New Disease Diagnostics Technology Aims to Combat Disease in Aquaculture14 July 2015
ANALYSIS - The UK's Centre for Environment, Fisheries and Aquaculture Science (Cefas) is developing cutting edge farmer-led disease diagnostics technology that could help combat devastating disease outbreaks in global fish and shellfish production.
By working with governments and industry in the UK and Asia, Cefas is developing new DNA-based diagnostic technology linked to data reporting by smartphone, which can be used by local farmers at the "pond side" to rapidly detect potentially devastating diseases.
The new technology could help to save up to $6 billion that is lost annually across the global aquaculture industry.
It is hoped that this revolutionary approach will help ensure that early detection enables faster management of infection and disease and more effective control of outbreaks, which in the past have led to serious impact on food supply and a loss of profits for the poorest rural communities engaged in farming.
In India, researchers at the Chennai-based Central Institute of Brackishwater Aquaculture have managed to successfully breed milkfish in captivity after ten long years of study.
Indian newspaper, The Hindu, reported that the researchers made the breakthrough by implanting hormones in the fish.
"Instead of injecting hormones, we have implanted hormones and it would be released in a sustainable manner," Mr Vijayan explained.
In fisheries news, Iceland and St Kitts and Nevis have both made a stand against illegal fishing after they ratified the FAO's Port State Measures Agreement (PSMA).
The PSMA treaty aims to prevent illegal fish entering the market, thereby helping to tackle the problem of Illegal Unreported and Unregulated (IUU) fishing.
The two countries became the 12th and 13th States, respectably, to ratify the treaty. The treaty will only come into force once 25 nations have ratified it.

Text classification: Naïve Bayes Text Classification • Today: • Introduction to Text Classification • Probabilistic Language Models • Naïve Bayes text categorization Categorization/Classification • Given: • A description of an instance, xX, where X is the instance language or instance space. • Issue: how to represent text documents. • A fixed set of categories: C = {c1, c2,…, cn} • Determine: • The category of x: c(x)C, where c(x) is a categorization function whose domain is X and whose range is C. • We want to know how to build categorization functions ("classifiers"). Speech recognition as classification • Choosing the best sentence from an acoustic stream is a classification task, too! • The candidate set may best be considered infinite though • Classification is extremely general! Document Classification "planning language proof intelligence" Test Data: (AI) (Programming) (HCI) Classes: ML Training Data: learning intelligence algorithm reinforcement network... Planning Semantics Garb.Coll. planning temporal reasoning plan language... programming semantics language proof... Multimedia garbage ... collection memory optimization region... GUI ... (Note: in real life there is often a hierarchy, not present in the above problem statement; and you get papers on ML approaches to Garb. Coll.) Text Categorization Examples Assign labels to each document or web-page: • Labels are most often topics such as Yahoo-categories e.g., "finance," "sports," "news>world>asia>business" • Labels may be genres e.g., "editorials" "movie-reviews" "news" • Labels may be opinion e.g., "like", "hate", "neutral" • Labels may be domain-specific binary e.g., "interesting-to-me" : "not-interesting-to-me" e.g., "spam" : "not-spam" e.g., "contains adult language" :"doesn't" Classification Methods (1) • Manual classification • • • • Used by Yahoo!, Looksmart, about.com, ODP, Medline Very accurate when job is done by experts Consistent when the problem size and team is small Difficult and expensive to scale Classification Methods (2) • Automatic document classification • Hand-coded rule-based systems • One technique used by CS dept's spam filter, Reuters, CIA, Verity, … • E.g., assign category if document contains a given boolean combination of words • Standing queries: Commercial systems have complex query languages (everything in IR query languages + accumulators) • Accuracy is often very high if a rule has been carefully refined over time by a subject expert • Building and maintaining these rules is expensive Classification Methods (3) • Supervised learning of a document-label assignment function • Many systems partly rely on machine learning (Autonomy, MSN, Verity, Enkata, Yahoo!, …) • • • • • • k-Nearest Neighbors (simple, powerful) Naive Bayes (simple, common method) Support-vector machines (new, more powerful) … plus many other methods No free lunch: requires hand-classified training data But data can be built up (and refined) by amateurs • Note that many commercial systems use a mixture of methods Bayesian Methods • Our focus this lecture • Learning and classification methods based on probability theory. • Bayes theorem plays a critical role in probabilistic learning and classification. • Build a generative model that approximates how data is produced • Uses prior probability of each category given no information about an item. • Categorization produces a posterior probability distribution over the possible categories given a description of an item.

Naïve Bayes Conditional Independence Assumption: • Assume that the probability of observing the conjunction of attributes is equal to the product of the individual probabilities P(xi|cj). The Naïve Bayes Classifier Flu X1 runnynose X2 sinus X3 cough X4 fever X5 muscle-ache • Conditional Independence Assumption: features detect term presence and are independent of each other given the class: P( X1,, X 5 | C) P( X1 | C) P( X 2 | C) P( X 5 | C) • This model is appropriate for binary variables • Multivariate binomial model Learning the Model C X1 X2 X3 X4 X5 X6 • First attempt: maximum likelihood estimates • simply use the frequencies in the data Pˆ (c j ) Pˆ ( xi | c j ) N (C c j ) N N ( X i xi , C c j ) N (C c j ) Problem with Max Likelihood Flu X1 runnynose X2 sinus X3 cough X4 fever X5 muscle-ache P( X1,, X 5 | C) P( X1 | C) P( X 2 | C) P( X 5 | C) • What if we have seen no training cases where patient had no flu and muscle aches?

Why? Underflow Prevention • Multiplying lots of probabilities, which are between 0 and 1 by definition, can result in floating-point underflow. • Since log(xy) = log(x) + log(y), it is better to perform all computations by summing logs of probabilities rather than multiplying probabilities. • Class with highest final un-normalized log probability score is still the most probable. cNB argmaxlog P(c j ) c jC log P( x | c ) i positions i j Note: Two Models • Model 1: Multivariate binomial • One feature Xw for each word in dictionary • Xw = true in document d if w appears in d • Naive Bayes assumption: • Given the document's topic, appearance of one word in the document tells us nothing about chances that another word appears • This is the model used in the binary independence model in classic probabilistic relevance feedback in hand-classified data Two Models • Model 2: Multinomial = Class conditional unigram • One feature Xi for each word pos in document • feature's values are all words in dictionary • Value of Xi is the word in position i • Naïve Bayes assumption: • Given the document's topic, word in one position in the document tells us nothing about words in other positions • Second assumption: • Word appearance does not depend on position P( X i w | c) P( X j w | c) for all positions i,j, word w, and class c • Just have one multinomial feature predicting all words Parameter estimation • Binomial model: of documents of topic c Pˆ ( X w t | c j ) fraction in which word w appears j • Multinomial model: Pˆ ( X i w | c j ) fraction of times in which word w appears across all documents of topic cj • Can create a mega-document for topic j by concatenating all documents in this topic • Use frequency of w in mega-document Classification • Multinomial vs Multivariate binomial? • Multinomial is in general better • See results figures later NB example • Given: 4 documents • • • • D1 (sports): China soccer D2 (sports): Japan baseball D3 (politics): China trade D4 (politics): Japan Japan exports • Classify: • D5: soccer • D6: Japan • Use • Add-one smoothing • Multinomial model • Multivariate binomial model Feature Selection: Why? • Text collections have a large number of features • 10,000 – 1,000,000 unique words … and more • May make using a particular classifier feasible • Some classifiers can't deal with 100,000 of features • Reduces training time • Training time for some methods is quadratic or worse in the number of features • Can improve generalization (performance) • Eliminates noise features • Avoids overfitting Feature selection: how? • Two idea: • Hypothesis testing statistics: • Are we confident that the value of one categorical variable is associated with the value of another • Chi-square test • Information theory: • How much information does the value of one categorical variable give you about the value of another • Mutual information • They're similar, but 2 measures confidence in association, (based on available statistics), while MI measures extent of association (assuming perfect knowledge of probabilities) 2 statistic (CHI) • 2 is interested in (fo – fe)2/fe summed over all table entries: is the observed number what you'd expect given the marginals? 2 2 2 ( j , a ) ( O E ) / E ( 2 . 25 ) / . 25 ( 3 4 . 75 ) / 4 . 75 2 2 2 • The null hypothesis is rejected with confidence .999, ( 500 502 ) / 502 ( 9500 949 ) / 949 12 . 9 ( p . 0 ) • since 12.9 > 10.83 (the value for .999 confidence). Term = jaguar Class = auto Class auto 2 (0.25) 3 (4.75) Term jaguar 500 expected: fe (502) 9500 (9498) observed: fo 2 statistic (CHI) There is a simpler formula for 2x2 2: A = #(t,c) C = #(¬t,c) B = #(t,¬c) D = #(¬t, ¬c) N=A+B+C+D Feature selection via Mutual Information • In training set, choose k words which best discriminate (give most info on) the categories. • The Mutual Information between a word, class is: p(ew , ec ) I (w , c ) p(ew , ec ) log p(ew )p(ec ) e { 0,1} e { 0,1} w c • For each word w and each category c Feature selection via MI (contd.) • For each category we build a list of k most discriminating terms. • For example (on 20 Newsgroups): • sci.electronics: circuit, voltage, amp, ground, copy, battery, electronics, cooling, … • rec.autos: car, cars, engine, ford, dealer, mustang, oil, collision, autos, tires, toyota, … • Greedy: does not account for correlations between terms • Why? Feature Selection • Mutual Information • Clear information-theoretic interpretation • May select rare uninformative terms • Chi-square • Statistical foundation • May select very slightly informative frequent terms that are not very useful for classification • Just use the commonest terms? • No particular foundation • In practice, this is often 90% as good Feature selection for NB • In general feature selection is necessary for binomial NB. • Otherwise you suffer from noise, multi-counting • "Feature selection" really means something different for multinomial NB. It means dictionary truncation • The multinomial NB model only has 1 feature • This "feature selection" normally isn't needed for multinomial NB, but may help a fraction with quantities that are badly estimated Evaluating Categorization • Evaluation must be done on test data that are independent of the training data (usually a disjoint set of instances). • Classification accuracy: c/n where n is the total number of test instances and c is the number of test instances correctly classified by the system. • Results can vary based on sampling error due to different training and test sets. • Average results over multiple training and test sets (splits of the overall data) for the best results. Example: AutoYahoo! • Classify 13,589 Yahoo! webpages in "Science" subtree into 95 different topics (hierarchy depth 2) Sample Learning Curve (Yahoo Science Data): need more! WebKB Experiment • Classify webpages from CS departments into: • student, faculty, course,project • Train on ~5,000 hand-labeled web pages • Cornell, Washington, U.Texas, Wisconsin • Crawl and classify a new site (CMU) • Results: Student Extracted 180 Correct 130 Accuracy: 72% Faculty 66 28 42% Person 246 194 79% Project 99 72 73% Course 28 25 89% Departmt 1 1 100% NB Model Comparison Naïve Bayes on spam email SpamAssassin • Naïve Bayes has found a home for spam filtering • Graham's A Plan for Spam • And its mutant offspring... • Naive Bayes-like classifier with weird parameter estimation • Widely used in spam filters • Classic Naive Bayes superior when appropriately used • According to David D. Lewis • Many email filters use NB classifiers • But also many other things: black hole lists, etc. Violation of NB Assumptions • Conditional independence • "Positional independence" • Examples? Naïve Bayes Posterior Probabilities • Classification results of naïve Bayes (the class with maximum posterior probability) are usually fairly accurate. • However, due to the inadequacy of the conditional independence assumption, the actual posteriorprobability numerical estimates are not. • Output probabilities are generally very close to 0 or 1. When does Naive Bayes work? Sometimes NB performs well even if the Conditional Independence assumptions are badly violated. Assume two classes c1 and c2. A new case A arrives. NB will classify A to c1 if: P(A, c1)>P(A, c2) Actual Probability Classification is about predicting the correct class label and NOT about accurately estimating probabilities. Estimated Probability by NB P(A,c1) 0.1 P(A,c2) Class of A 0.01 c1 0.08 0.07 c1 Besides the big error in estimating the probabilities the classification is still correct. Correct estimation accurate prediction but NOT accurate prediction Correct estimation Naive Bayes is Not So Naive • Naïve Bayes: First and Second place in KDD-CUP 97 competition, among 16 (then) state of the art algorithms Goal: Financial services industry direct mail response prediction model: Predict if the recipient of mail will actually respond to the advertisement – 750,000 records. • Robust to Irrelevant Features Irrelevant Features cancel each other without affecting results Instead Decision Trees can heavily suffer from this. • Very good in domains with many equally important features Decision Trees suffer from fragmentation in such cases – especially if little data • A good dependable baseline for text classification (but not the best)! • Optimal if the Independence Assumptions hold: If assumed independence is correct, then it is the Bayes Optimal Classifier for problem • Very Fast: Learning with one pass over the data; testing linear in the number of attributes, and document collection size • Low Storage requirements Resources • IIR 13 • Fabrizio Sebastiani.

The Best Day
It started out slow
Abnormally cold
I dressed to depress, scraped the mold from the best of the bread
Thought of bed
Outside there was light
The people wore bright
Hello faces, their paces were quite out of place with my own
Thought of home
Then you
From the blue
In the time that it took me to breathe in your leaving, I woke
I raced to embrace you, my grey world unfurled when you spoke
Into blue
with you
What beauty is there
in not having to care!
In believing you're leaving the wearisome heaving and grind
far behind
It ended too fast
We clung to the last
of our time in the prime of our past, now a line in on a screen
Black on green...
Where is blue?
Where are you?

Later that week, Valorie found herself back at Charley's house. It was all over – Adam was dead, the families had been notified, and everyone else had returned home.
The night after the battle, most of the surviving Wizards had returned to the Common to celebrate their victory. Valorie hadn't been able to attend, however – she was grounded. Her parents were quite angry that she had snuck out to try and fight Adam Quinn, and had insisted on keeping her in the house, under their watchful gaze, for an entire week.
'I'm writing into school, telling them you've got flu,' her mother had said, somewhat irritably. 'I hope you'll use this time to catch up on your schoolwork.'
Valorie, of course, had agreed. She didn't mind being grounded too much. She spent the first few days of that week completing her homework. The geography assessment took an entire day to complete, but it was a relief to see it finished.
'It does seem a bit silly,' her father had said to her. 'What do roller coasters have to do with Geography?'
Then she'd spent the rest of the week tidying her room, washing the car, hovering the living room, and whatever else she could think of to occupy her time. Anything to take her mind off the events of the battle on the Common.
Valorie knew she couldn't avoid the thought of it forever, but for now she wanted to push it from her mind.
Charley had called her a few times, letting her know what was happening in the outside world. He had contacted most of the Wizards' families, and one by one, they had journeyed to the United Kingdom to collect the bodies of their loved ones.
Christophe had been collected by his family the day after the battle. He was given a good funeral, Charley assured her, as was his cousin.
Valorie tried not to think about this, either. Thinking about Christophe was still painful. She had made a plaque to remember him by. She had framed the copper coin he had asked her to take, and written a short message underneath. 'To the memory of Christophe Auguste, who bravely fought against Adam Quinn in battle, and died.' Not exactly poetic, but it was the best Valorie could do.
Eddie had also called, mainly to ask how she was, and tell her how Hermes was doing.
'He's here, actually. I'll put him on.'
'Thanks. Hi, Hermes.'
'Hello, Valorie! How are you?'
'Not too bad. I finally got that stupid Geography done. How's your eye?'
'Still not looking good, I'm afraid. Hurts like the Dickens and I still can't see. But I can't complain. I've still got the other one.'
'Yeah, bonus.'
'If you speak to Charley, could you tell him it's OK and I'm not angry with him? He won't answer my calls for some reason.'
Valorie agreed. 'Sure.'
Soon enough, sooner than Valorie had expected, the week was over. She returned to school. She struggled to pay attention during English – the work was incredibly dull – but she had decided to stick at it. They'd be getting a new teacher in the spring, with any luck.
At the end of the day, she said goodbye to Mr Faulkner and walked out the school gates, catching up with Amrita.
'Hey, Amri.'
'Oh, hello. How are you? Still feeling fluey?'
'Amri, you know I didn't have flu.'
'It's not fair. I could do with a week off school. While you were away we had this awful English assignment to do.'
'Oh yeah? What was it about?'
'It was about this poem about potatoes. It's the dullest thing you'll ever read.'
'Could have been worse.'
'You wait till you see it,' Amrita said. 'It's ghastly.'
'Oh, well I'm sure you'll enjoy giving me the homework, won't you?'
Amrita grinned evilly. 'Yeah! Torture time, buddy.'
'Oh no, save me from the potatoes of doom!'
'Nyargh! Gotcha!'
'Oh no, I'm dyyyyyiiiiiiiing… blearaaaaaaaaagh.'
'OK, that's enough Val, people are staring.'
'OK.' Valorie laughed for the first time in days. 'I've gotta go now.'
'See you tomorrow,' Amrita said. Valorie was about to turn away towards Charley's house, and then she remembered something.
'Oh, Amri, I forgot to tell you!'
'What?' she said, stepping towards her.
'You know we were talking about those koi carp in the canal?'
'I saw them. From about three feet away.'
'You're joking!'
'No. I saw them when I fell in. I knew it was them because they were all orangey.'
'Wow! How big were they?'
'About this big.'
'That's really cool.'
'It wasn't cool. It was bloody freezing. Bye Amri.'
They parted. Feeling decidedly more cheerful, Valorie walked to Charley's door. She knocked.
Charley answered. Today he wore a floor-length yellow poncho and baggy blue trousers.
'Hello. Pyjama party?'
'Ha ha, very funny. Come in then.'
Valorie stepped in, grinning. The insects were all back in their cages. She peered in at them, and they made chirping noises.
'How's things?' she asked.
Charley stood just in front of the comfy purple sofa.
'Adam's been buried – in an unmarked grave, naturally. His parents have been found – in Vancouver.'
'Where's Vancouver?'
'Canada. They're going to return to their own house, and hopefully replace some of the money that Adam used up.'
'That's good.'
Charley leaned backwards over the sofa without actually sitting down. This annoyed Valorie, but she resisted the urge to push him over.
'Anything else I should know?' she asked.
'You're never going to believe this, but O'Hanlon has been promoted.'
Charley sighed wearily. 'Yes, indeed. His bosses decided they liked the way HE dealt with Adam's mad rampage, so he's become the new head of Magical Management. Mind you, he has agreed to forget about the Wizard Watch List.'
'That's good, I suppose. But why?'
'The entire purpose of the Watch List was to catalogue the Wizards in the UK, as well as prevent Wizards from meeting each other. But now it's already been done. We have contacts all over the world now, and I think the Government is going to be a lot more considerate towards us from now on.'
'So they're going to be nice now, in case we call up our minions and attack? That's nice.'
'They still don't entirely trust us. But we're getting there.'
'Now,' Charley said, looking suddenly uncomfortable. 'The reason that you are here. The lesson.'
'Yes. We should probably start now.'
Charley stood still, waiting for her.
'Take a seat,' she said warmly, pulling out the chair for him.
Charley sat in front of the computer. 'This is humiliating. My ego is the lowest it's ever been, which by most people's standards is still considerably high.'
'I know.'
'I should be teaching you, not the other way round.'
'Uh-huh. Could you press the on button please?'
Grudgingly, Charley pressed it. The computer made a pinging noise to say hello, then asked him for a password.
'I've chosen the password 'Leaping Mantis,' Charley informed her as he typed it in slowly. 'So you know what it is, should you need to use my computer.'
The computer took about five minutes to load. Charley stared forlornly at the screen.
'How could this thing possibly be of any use to me?'
'Well, maybe you could use it to talk to Eddie and the rest of them online. Or, you could type up your insect articles yourself instead of sending your handwritten notes off to a friend who'll do it for you.'
'He doesn't mind.'
'Trust me, once you get used to typing, it's really a lot easier.'
Charley nodded uncertainly.
'OK. Now to use the Internet for the first time ever. Exciting.'
'Yay,' Charley said gloomily.
'Just click on that icon there.'
Charley clicked. A page flashed up.
'OK, click on 'Images.' OK. What picture do you want for your background?'
'Er… I don't know.'
'You could have a pattern, or a picture of your family…'
'No thank you.'
'Or your favourite band, insects, whatever.'
Charley typed in the word insect, and after much scrolling down the page, chose a picture of an ant crawling on a leaf.
'How do I make this my background?' he asked.
'Right click on the picture and click 'Set as desktop background', and it should work.'
Charley clicked it. His background was an ant crawling on a leaf. He said nothing, but looked rather pleased.
'I'm expecting a new insect delivery soon,' he said, swivelling on the chair to face her. 'Have you heard of Darwin's Beetle?'
'Erm… no. Type it into Images, maybe I'll recognise it.'
Charley typed it in. Several pictures appeared.
'No,' Valorie said. 'I don't recognise it.'
Charley looked important. 'The male Darwin beetle has massive jaws, as you can see. When he wants to mate with a female, who is inevitably at the top of a very tall tree, he climbs up it. He uses those jaws to fight off any other males he finds. He wins, uses his jaws to pick the other beetle up, and throws them out of the tree.'
'Er… Killing it?'
'No – beetles have very strong armour. Anyway, the beetle finds the female, mates with her… and then throws her out of the tree as well.'
'What a charming insect.'
'I know. That is no way to treat a lady on your first date. Anyway, I thought when it comes round I'd introduce you. I've ordered a female, so it won't have the huge jaws, but it'll be far less aggressive. Most of my insects are female.'
'I didn't know that.'
'Yes. Otherwise they'd be constantly trying to kill each other. My mantises are female, and as such can be quite brutal to their prey. I'm sure you remember that documentary we watched about what female praying mantises do to their males?'
Valorie shuddered. 'I remember.'
There was a silence.
'For God's Sake, Charley, can't you bring yourself to sit on that sofa at least once?'
'It's my sofa,' Charley said defensively, folding his arms. 'I'll do as I wish with it.'
'I promise,' Valorie said sincerely, 'that if you sit on that sofa at least once, I will never bug you about it again.'
Charley considered this carefully.
'You do bug me a lot about it… Erm… well, OK. But just this once.'
'Of course,' Valorie smiled dazzlingly.
Charley crossed to the sofa and cautiously parked himself upon it.
Valorie held her breath. Charley took a few moments to adjust to the feeling, then reclined back into the sofa, let his aching muscles sink down into it.
'Ahhhh,' he said. 'You know, normally I'm not much for sitting down. Always felt a bit strange. But I must admit,' he said, wriggling further into the sofa, 'this is very comfy indeed.'
Valorie grinned.
'Yes,' she said. 'It is.'

This company is a ripoff. They shipped me the entirely wrong flowers for my wedding bouquet. I had to contact them a few times to even get a reply, then they refused to ship the correct flowers. They just kept saying return the wrong ones for a refund- I dont want a refund... I want the correct flowers shipped to me! Still no reply or response after more attempts to get them to correct their mistake. The incorret flowers they sent looked absolutley horrible.

Poem by: dubl
Status: Finished
Genre: Poetry
stick to your guns
the bricks aren't that hard to shatter
and one day this wall will break
and we'll be free
that's hope in a nutshell
they try to tell me
but they built up this symbol
and now it blocks out the sun
the bodies it took to defend our lost cause
are fallin over the top
and killin our own gaurds
and as the city goes up in flames
i just want someone
to remember my name
but the fight goes on
and the lines are drawn
which ones evil
which one blinds the sun?
and we all have a hell
we all have vices
we all pay in our blood
at the end of the crisis
and now the flames consume
and now the flames consume
this is the destruction of a city
the loss of vivid memories
you shoulda just called it off
but now we're history
thirty minutes ago
we were still contemporary
but their lining the wall
with bodies like a cemetary
and the ground is wet
with blood and sweat
stop the beating hearts
of a thousand young men
we're cause to the chaos
and why won't the rain stop
while our superiors fled underground
with their fingers up
like fuck the grunts
who needs worker bees
we're just here to serve the queen
and the flames consume
and now the flames consume

A ride to success
JK Tyre Steel Wheels, a retail arm of JK Tyre is making its presence felt across the nation via franchise route. Through its franchise concept the brand is showcasing high quality products and services. Explore more
Feature Writer
The rising economy, performance of domestic automotive industry, and the better conditions of the transport scenario are successfully fueling the performance of the tyre industry in India. Keeping these factors in mind, JK Tyre came up with the idea of launching a one stop solution for complete tyre sales and services requirements of the customers. A S Mehta, Marketing Director, JK Tyre informs, "With the objective of meeting customer needs, we established a nation wide chain of franchised retail outlets branded as JK Tyre Steel Wheels." The retail venture has re-defined the tyre retailing concept in India by providing a wide range of JK Tyre passenger car tyres and tyre care solutions in an ambient environment. Here is the case study of JK Tyre's franchise venture, encompassing its success journey, the ups and downs and its franchise strength.
Inception of JK Tyre
JK Organisation came into existence way back in the middle of the 19th century and its subsidiary JK tyre was started off in late 1970s. It ranks among the top private companies today. The company has bagged a number of credits to its name since its inception. The company has pioneered the radial technology in India and is the first Indian tyre company to be recognised as 'Superbrand' by the Global Advertising Professionals. It has also started a unique concept called JK Tyre Steel Wheels in 1996 to provide value added services like wheel balancing, alignment and tyre care to customers. The company has opted for franchise route to expand JK Tyre Steel Wheels.
Presently, the company is operating through a retail chain of over 125 franchised Steel Wheel outlets spread across the length and breadth of the country. Besides this, the comapny has also presence in a number of multi brands outlets. JK Tyre has marked its presence right from Srinagar in north to Madurai in south and from Surat in west to Aizawal in the east.
Model for expansion
Over the years, JK Tyre and Industries has expanded and diversified its business portfolio. It has established itself as a multi-product and multi-location company that brings in the best in products and services to the valued customers. With its core focus on customer satisfaction, the company took the franchise route to expand the presence of its one stop solution across the nation. Mehta further added, "The company will continue to expand its Steel Wheels retail outlet network in metro and semi-metro areas of the country. Apart from this, the company also plans to expand its franchise network to tier II and III towns."
Take up the franchise
JK Tyre and Industries has been a forerunner in the economic and social advancement of India. It always aimed at creating business opportunities for the aspiring entrepreneurs via franchising. So, if you are also entertaining the option of getting started with a business of this type, then JK Tyre Steel Wheels is one of the best available options. All you need to do is to meet the criteria; the company has laid for selecting its franchisees, which includes:
- Minimum retail space of 750 sq. ft at a strategic location with adequate parking space
- Ability to invest in stocks, showroom interiors, and wheel servicing equipment
- Minimum off-take and turnover as per company policy
Strong business support system
Joining hands with such a dynamic company offers a number of benefits to the prospective franchisees. Take for instance, the company shares with its franchisees the cost of the showroom development, interior and exterior renovation of the showroom. Apart from building the showroom, the company also helps the franchisees in buying the car wheel service equipments at subsidised rate. Being a well known name in the industry, JK Tyre provides every possible support to its franchisees to ensure the proper working of the franchisees and the development of franchise network.
Hurdles in the way to franchise success
Even with all the hand holding and availability of all the necessary requisites, the success of the franchise business cannot be guaranteed. This is because; the success of a franchise depends not just on the strong foundation but also on the business acumen of the franchisee. Especially with this kind of business where customer satisfaction is of prime importance, a franchisee needs to take into account every aspect of keeping the customers happy. As Mehta says, "The main challenge for the franchisees is to provide world class products and service support to the customer, which will give them an edge over the competition."
Outlook for the future of tyre industry
With the rising utilisation of automobiles, the demand for better automobile products and services are also growing rapidly. Even the radialisation of tyres is also gaining significance. Radialisation refers to the transformation of traditional tyres by using steel wires instead of nylon threads and the rate of radialisation among the passenger car, bus and truck manufacturers is hastily increasing though its acceptance is still limited. Moreover, the future of tyre industry is looking prosperous with the rising number of companies entering into outsourcing agreements with tyre producers in foreign countries. Even in the domestic market, it is predicted that the tyre makers will increase their focus on expanding the dealership networks via franchising to penetrate the growing customer base.
To conclude, JK Organisation has striven to make India self reliant by pioneering the production of a number of industrial and consumer products, by adopting the latest technology as well as developing its own know-how. It has also undertaken industrial ventures in several other countries. This quickly expanding, tyre company offers enormous opportunity to the aspiring entrepreneurs taking the franchise of JK Tyre Steel Wheels.

PDN Video Pick: Mountain Surfing

If you've ever dreamed of flying like a bird, here's your chance. "Mountain Surfing" takes you on a thrilling FPV (First Person View) flight via remote controlled (R/C) plane over and around some snow-covered Alpine peaks, including the Matterhorn. This is one of a series of flight videos by Team BlackSheep, a duo that tags itself as "The R/C Daredevils." Because some R/C enthusiasts are blaming them for attracting unwanted regulatory attention, Team BlackSheep has requested that we not disclose their real names. (Warning: if you're prone to motion sickness or don't like heights, this may not be the video for you.)

Rebecca was a gem. She was a great support during somewhat protracted negotiations. Kept me informed, so I could stay focus on the rest of my life. Would not hesitate to retain her again.
Posted by Jeff
I retained Rebecca to help me with a disability case after I suffered a severe traumatic brain injury. Without her help I would not have been able to receive the benefits I was due. The ordeal was long and tough and I wanted to give up several times but knowing Rebecca believed in me and was willing to continue to represent me went a long way toward convincing me to stay in the fight. She transformed the labyrinth of legalese I had to face into something I could understand and, while encouraging, she was always realistic, which I appreciated. She also made the effort to get to know me and used her knowledge of my strengths and weaknesses to help me wage the toughest fight I could wage. In the end, it was all more than worth it. And not just monetarily. By helping me persevere she helped me to rebuild my confidence in myself, no easy task!

First Pitch
First Pitch: Those Lefties Are All the Same Frustrating Pitcher
First Pitch
Let's take a look at four numbers tonight:
What are those numbers, you ask? They're the career BB/9 ratios of the four left-handers who threw in today's Spring Training game. In order, they go Tony Watson (4.1), Jonathan Sanchez (5.0), Justin Wilson (5.8), and Andrew Oliver (6.0).
The numbers come with a disclaimer that not all of the pitchers have the same innings totals. Watson's walk rate has come after 94.1 innings in the majors. Sanchez has the biggest sample, with 772.2 innings. But Andrew Oliver (31.2 innings) and Justin Wilson (4.2 innings) haven't spent a lot of time in the majors. That said, both pitchers have experienced trouble with their control in the minors, so it's hard to just chalk this up to a small sample size.
Now let's look at the ...

Although authentic assessment sounds promising, students still have to take Regents, SAT's. Will authentic assessment prepare them properly for college? I think starting from the bottom and working up is not sensible. This needs to come from the state and trickle down. It sounds good in theory, but I'm not sure in application.
hmmm….Mr. Fucito has no issues with the handful of people who have been critical of the board in selecting a superintendent, but now he is upset that there is criticism of his crony Dr. Copel by a handful that disagree with his view.
Not exactly consistent on his part…or fair…or responsible. Apparently a "handful" only gets credence if you agree with him, and if not, then you are marginalized.
It is nice to see that many parents and faculty are excited about the new superintendent and are welcoming him with expectations of positive change and reversing the trend of "watered down education" the district has faced in recent years under Dr. Copel.

Social media detox
The average person checks their phone 110 times a day. EVERY day. Mostly checking for new email and social media.
I'm choosing this Thanksgiving holiday weekend to have a social media detox. I'm forcing myself to limit my phone time to 30 minutes per day.
The only exceptions are texts from a very good friend who I'll be meeting with for the first time in 5 years and calls with my family. Other than that, total social media detox.
Be mindful. Be thankful. Have a wonderful Thanksgiving holiday with your family and friends.
Join me in this challenge?
I'll see you bright-eyed and bushy-tailed on Monday morning!

Scott Wade Goes The Distance For Bat Cats In 3-2 Win
March 25, 2003
Lexington, Ky. -
Kentucky centerfielder Casey Gilvin popped up in front of home plate to lead off the bottom of the ninth inning, but never stopped running, reaching second base when Kent State catcher Pat O'Brien was unable to make the routine catch. Brad Pickrell moved Gilvin to third on a sacrifice bunt and Spencer Graeter drilled a single through the left side of a drawn in infield to give the Bat Cats (9-14, 0-6 SEC) a 3-2 win over the visiting Golden Flashes (7-10, 0-0 MAC).
"Casey's hustle is what baseball is all about," Coach Keith Madison said. "That's why you have to run everything out."
"(Spencer) Graeter was having trouble seeing the ball early in the game, but he's a solid hitter and he came through in the clutch late."
Senior right hander Scott Wade (1-3) threw Kentucky's first complete game of the season to pick up his first win of the spring. Wade allowed two earned runs while scattering eight hits and striking out five KSU batters. The Kingsport, Tenn., native faced just four batters over the minimum on the afternoon.
"It's good to get a win like that," Wade said. "I've had some rough outings lately, but today I was throwing the ball like I want to and I was going to go as long as it took to get a win."
The Golden Flashes got to Wade early, scoring two runs in the top of the second on Kurt Eichorn's home run over the wall in left center. The second inning was the only frame in which Kent State sent more than three batters to the plate, however, as Wade cruised, getting three double plays from his defense along the way.
"We have a good ball club when we put the pieces together," Madison said. "Today we got a great effort from Scott Wade and we came through with the clutch defensive plays and hits."
The UK offense struggled, collecting only four hits, but got a big one from first baseman Mike Breyman, who launched his fifth home run of the season to the opposite field in the fourth inning, scoring Gilvin and tying the game at 2-2. Gilvin was 2-for-4 on the afternoon with two runs. Adam Crowder went 2-for-3 for Kent State.
The same two teams will wrap up a mid-week two game series on Wednesday afternoon at Cliff Hagan Stadium. Game time is slated for 3 p.m. EST.

hotmail Stories October 15, 2015
hotmail Stories February 19, 2013
On top of officially announcing the launch of Outlook.com today, Microsoft is making the rounds with the press by offering some stats on the newly launched service. While announcing the service has grown to 60 million active users in just six months of the limited preview release, Outlook.com Senior Director Dharmesh Mehta told Bloomberg that a third of those users are ex-Gmail customers. The news follows the launch of Microsoft's latest Google smear campaign with a series of "Scroogled" ads depicting security and privacy concerns related to Google scanning users' email to display ads.
While free e-mail isn't a huge money-maker — Mehta said Outlook.com carries about 60 percent fewer advertisements than Microsoft's previous Hotmail product — the Redmond, Washington- based company considers it critical to gaining and retaining consumers. Microsoft, the world's largest software maker, has been losing users of its Windows operating system to smartphones and tablets such as Apple Inc.'s iPad.
According to Mehta, roughly 20 million of Outlook.com's users have switched from Gmail and now use the service as their "primary free e-mail account." There is of course no real way of knowing how many users have actually decided to make the switch, and how many of those users are continuing to use both accounts. As for the Scroogled campaign, Mehta shared that Microsoft is spending "tens of millions" on many TV, online print, and bus ads in the US, as well as TV ads in Europe slated to debut in the coming weeks.
hotmail Stories February 24, 2012
Google can now check the University of Pennsylvania off its ever-growing list of ivy leaguers wielding Google Apps for Education, because the school just announced a recent move from Microsoft's Windows Live Hotmail to Gmail.
The Philadelphia-based private university ranks No. 5 in National Universities, according to U.S. News and World Report, and it joins over 60 other leading institutions from the nation's top 100 to use Google Apps. Harvard College, Yale, and Brown University are a few of the more prominent schools to top Google's list.
Penn changed services after studying student email trends:
"We just saw more than 50 percent of students forward emails from their Hotmail to Gmail accounts and thought it would be more convenient this way," said Director of Social Sciences Computing and Student Technology Chris Mustazza to The Daily Pennsylvanian.

Bhubaneswar, Jan 30 (PTI) Rejecting the Seeds Bill,2004, in its present form, the BJP today said it would stageagitation before district deputy-collector offices across thecountry on February 17.
"Farmers along with the partymen will submit memorandawith deputy-collectors addressing the union agricultureminister. We demand certain changes in the present form of thebill which is likely to be re-tabled in the Parliament in thebudget session," said BJP''s Kisan Morcha president Om PrakashDhankar.
Dubbing the Seeds Bill, 2004 as an "anti-farmer" and"pro-company", Dhankar claimed that passing of the bill wouldcurtail power of states.
"Under provision of the bill, a seeds committee willbe set up at the Centre to register all branded seeds. Thestate committee will only advice the central committee," hesaid.
The Bill is silent about prices of seeds and there isno provision in the present bill to impose limit on royalty tobe recovered on patented seeds by foreign companies, Dhankarsaid adding that there is no mention about the distributionsystem of seeds.
The BJP alleged that the draft of the Bill had beenprepared to safeguard the interest of the foreign companies.
"There is a Rs 50,000 crore business in the Indianseeds market," Dhankar pointed out adding that there was anapprehension on monopoly of certain companies.

Abdul-Malik Abu, PF, Expressions Elite – Even without food or water in his system due to Ramadan, Abu dominated the action. Always someone who plays hard and with athleticism, Abu attacked the rim off the bounce and also finished over defenders. With his team completely overwhelming the opponent, Abu took full advantage and completely and totally dominated on both ends of the floor with his combination of strength, skill, and athleticism.
Jared Terrell, SF, Expressions Elite – While Abu was the star of the show, Terrell wasn't too far behind him. Terrell almost hurt himself on a dunk, but outside of that there wasn't much negative from his performance. He hit a few shots, but mostly it was straight line drives to the rim where he would overpower defenders and finish with athleticism.
Dominique Uhl, PF, Jersey Shore Warriors – This is a kid who is starting to get a ton of hype in the Northeast, and he does have some ability. Uhl can handle it pretty well for being 6-foot-8 and is a pretty good athlete. He absolutely must get stronger, and he isn't the most instinctive player. Right now Uhl is more prospect than player, but there are some tools to work with.
Ben Bentil, PF, We R 1 – A freakish combination of size and athleticism, Bentil was solid in an evening win. He had a few high level dunks and overall was in control of the action on the glass. Bentil isn't a great threat on offense, and can be limited when not around the rim, but he is strong, has live athleticism, and is capable of making plays.
Ismael Sanogo, SF/PF, New Jersey Roadrunners – There is no doubt that Sanogo can compete athletically. The recent Seton Hall pledge showed his big time athleticism with a few highlight quality blocks on the defensive end. Offensively he looked very raw and unrefined, but at the same time he did play hard. Sanogo will need to improve his skill set going forward.
Isaiah Briscoe, SG, New Jersey Playaz – One of the premier scorers in the class, Briscoe had a solid showing despite his team taking the loss. He had a few big time moves going to the rim and finishing through contact, and then Briscoe can also create space for himself on the perimeter using the dribble. Also Briscoe mixed in a few nice passes for buckets.
Chris Silva, PF, New Jersey Roadrunners – Silva really burst onto the scene at the Nike Elite 100 in June, and he showed again here that he is someone who can really play. He is long, athletic, and even though he doesn't have a great understanding of the game he knows how to make plays. The more experience that Silva gets the better he will be. Right now he is a bit of a work in progress but he shows enough flashes consistently that it looks like he will be a sure high-major recruit.
Derrick Jones, SF, We R 1 – By his standards it was a fairly quiet game. Jones only had a few highlight worthy plays, but none the less he still stood out. Jones is as good of an athlete as you will see in the country, and his ball handling continues to improve. Right now Jones must work on his outside jumper, but he still is an elite prospect.
Dominique Uhl has offers from Boston College, Temple, Iowa, Maryland, Penn State, and St. Joe's
Fran McCaffery from Iowa, Fan Dunphy of Temple, and Steve Donahue from Boston College were the head coaches present for Dominique Uhl.
Abdul-Malik Abu and Jared Terrell attracted Kevin Ollie, Danny Hurley, Eddie Jordan, and assistants from St. John's, NC State, Providence, Florida, and Kansas State.

Jonathan Rowland, the investor who made his name during the dot.com boom, is to return to the technology market with the launch of an investment vehicle targeting social media companies.
Over a decade ago, Mr Rowland's investments made him more than £40m at the age of just 25, and yesterday he announced the intention to float his new venture, Jellybook, on the Alternative Investment Market.
Jellybook – a reference to his earlier investment vehicle Jellyworks – will focus on digital media and social networking companies. This comes at a time of huge interest around investing in digital companies, especially those with social networking operations.
LinkedIn, the professional networking site, saw its shares double on their first day of trading in New York last month, and there has been huge interest in discount site Groupon, which has filed its IPO papers. The market also anticipates a similar move from Zynga and Facebook. Jellybook will be targeting companies this side of the Atlantic.
Mr Rowland, the son of property tycoon and former Tory party treasurer David "Spotty" Rowland, said: "The rise of social media in the past five years has been a development of global proportions," before adding: "Yet until now public market investors have had limited opportunities to invest in this fast-growing sector. We believe that Jellybook will provide them with that opportunity in the UK."
In the drive to make Jellybook "a leading European social media company", Mr Rowland has called in some heavy hitters in the industry to bolster its credentials. These include Julie Meyer, who set up Ariadne Capital in 2000 and was behind networking forum First Tuesday. Michael Wright and Walter de Brouwer join her on the board.
The company will list on London's growth market as a cash shell and aims to make one big acquisition or investment within its first 18 months on the public markets.
The company did not want to provide further details on the potential targets before it starts trading in two weeks. The directors hope to raise a minimum of £3m from the float, which is being underwritten by the Rowland's Luxembourg-based family bank, Banque Havilland.
Mr Rowland made his name in 1999, when he founded Jellyworks, a venture backed by the Barclay Brothers, and floated it at 5p per share. He was an early investor in companies including Demon Internet and 365.com
The shares in his investment vehicle soared 2,000 per cent in just three days as the clamour for dot.com investments reached fever pitch.
Yet, the euphoria waned somewhat the following year and the shares retreated. He sold to Shore Capital in 2000, shortly before the dot.com bubble burst, and still made £42m from the deal. That was not his last venture into technology investment. He floated the Nettworx cash shell on Aim in 2005, which was also set up to target telecoms deals, and which he had dubbed at the time "Jellyworks Mark 2". Its backers included the billionaire Joe Lewis and Brent Hoberman, co-founder of Lastminute.com. It was liquidated in 2009.
Mr Rowland pointed to statistics from April last year that showed more than 110 billion minutes were spent on social networks and blogs, a fifth of all time spent online, and the numbers have soared since then.
Yet despite the strong growth, businesses in the social media sector have struggled to raise capital in the wake of the downturn.
The group said it would not be focusing specifically on any particular place, although given the board's expertise in Europe, they will be "well positioned to consolidate opportunities in Europe".
Mr Rowland added: "We believe that the investment case for Jellybook is clear and is backed by an unprecedented interest in social media, from investors to end users. Social media is helping redefine global business and the way in which people go about their daily lives."
He said the company was closely following the listings of LinkedIn and the Chinese social network Renren. It will also await Groupon's flotation after expressing its interest to float.
Mr Rowland has been chief executive of Banque Havilland for the past year. The Rowland family established the bank by picking up some Luxembourg assets from the rubble of the collapsed Icelandic group Kaupthing in July 2009.
The operation has been the focus of interest from both the Luxembourg police, and the Serious Fraud Office, although the company stressed that these visits related to operations that were taking place before the current management had become involved.
