And that last part about the Japanese translator thing is very, very wrong. Japanese translators are in very high demand.

Not to say that pursuing a career as a Japanese translator isn't a bad choice or anything, but it's not like nursing where there's such a high demand you can pick and choose from companies to work for.

- Translators usually translate from the target language into their native language (i.e. A native English speaker translates other languages _into_ English). They usually don't do this the other way around. Thus, what would be in high demand are native English speakers that know Japanese.
- Translating is an underrated profession that requires a good deal of work, especially in translating between two very, very different language (English and Japanese). You're not translating the words between the languages; you're translating the meanings (a reason why translators translate _into_ their native language - to make it sound as natural as possible to people who will read the English translation).

^^^ To this (top, Bloodseeker's first comment of the above post) I would argue that there is great value in learning a foreign language. Outside just Japanese, I'm almost completely fluent in Spanish. I visited Spain for seven weeks on a study program with Indiana University during the summer, taking classes and living with a Spanish host family. The catch to the whole thing was, the was NO ENGLISH ALLOWED. If we spoke english, we had broken a rule and were sent home. In other words, we would have wasted $5,000 for nothing. When we (the other students and I) were there, we were forced to speak and communicate completely in Spanish. It really made us improve exponentially. I'm not kidding.
My point is, don't underestimate the value of a foreign language, no matter what it is. Hell, I'm also trying to teach myself Dutch, in addition to learning Spanish and Japanese in school. (I'm trying to get experience in all sorts of languages, and as you may have seen, I've also created my own)
Being able to converse and read and write in any foreign language opens all sorts of avenues, and as said before by someone other than myself, it cuts out the middle man, of course referring to having to wait for English translations of things like manga.

easiest way to learn japanese is to go to japan for about year... based on the assumption you memorized hiragana and katakana completely... I am chinese, and it took me a year of ESL class in the United States to speak, and listen fluently; i was able to read and pronounce correctly, but unable to comprehend everything, and writing is the biggest diffculty, which simply requires time. It really speeds up speaking and listening when you listen and speak that language 24/7 as someone pointed out going to Spain and learn very fast. Writing takes time no matter what. And reading comprehension requires time... vocabulary building in ANY language requires time, even native speakers...

五筆漢字--New way to input Japanese kanji
Japanese Kanji like Chinese characters ,every one can be divided to 5 basic brush 1- Lateral ,2- Vertical , 3- Left sweep , 4- Dot/Right sweep . 5- Bend.
We use the number 1,2,3,4,5 to represent it .and we divided keyboard to 5 regions.
The keyboard contains five regions, organized by the direction of the root first stroke. Each region contains five keys (making twenty-five keys in total), and each key contains a number of character roots.
Each region proceeds in the same manner, from the inner-most key on the keyboard to the outer-most. Region 1 (lateral) is represented by keys 11-15, region 2 (vertical) by keys 21-25, region 3 (left sweep) by keys 31-35, region 4 (dot/right sweep) by keys 41-45, and region 5 (bend) by keys 51-55.
We will refer to the individual keys by the key number and letter: neither 12 nor F, but 12F. Thinking of the keys in this notation will help your conceptual understanding of WuBiKanJi . However, we will refer to the WuBiKanJi codes, composed of multiple keys, by only the letters: QWERT, for example.
And in Japanese language there have another keyboard of Kana keyboard so there have Japanese character in this keyboard diagram(たていすか).

Good thing SCIM Anthy is fantastic for typing Japanese (Linux)
Hmmm... could someone tell me if I got this right ? It's important ^^ >> ordered a textbook for university, as the usual sell point got a 3 months delay on this one O.o
Spoiler for Eメール:
So, they confirm my order of Basic Kanji Book Volume 1 and tell me the price, including, shipping & handling, packaging & credit card commission (6% of the book's price) for a total of 5,618円
They also confirm my payment method: by credit card.
Now... the tricky thing for me ^^'
They want me to communicate the card holder's name, CC number and expiration date?
I'm not sure what they mean by this:
It's a strange way to pay... never encountered this way of doing it. Do I just email Sakai-san with the CC info requested and that's it ?
Thanks in advance m(._.)m

So yes, I'd assume you're simply supposed to e-mail them the CC details and the estimate code(/number) (XA-0542? Or something in the title of the e-mail? Shrug, not familiar with their systems) if nothing else has been specified elsewhere.

this is a live vaccine and contains mercury which you are exposing your child to in utero.
|He is accused of acting negligently during a period of years in the late 1970s and 1980s, when about 1600 women became infected with hepatitis C, through receiving contaminated anti-D immunoglobulin.
|THe doc said in the past many women who's blood was negative and their husbands positive would began to have sickly babies after the third babe or so and that they could even die. She said the shot would keep this from happening. I understand how the basics of the shot work and thought it sounded great.
|Now after reading a lot of the hidden truths behind vaxs I am wondering if this one is harmless? Even if it is not is it nesessary? I am wondering because I plan to have more children and they said I would have to get this shot with every pregnancy.
Can we differentiate between WinRho and RhoGam and discuss?
I used WinRho in lieu of RhoGam: a)because it didn't contain mercury and b) because it seemed "safer" - read: more purified-- than RhoGam.
But I haven't researched it in a few years.

David Kelly never shied from talking to journalists. On that fateful day when he met the BBC reporter Andrew Gilligan in the Charing Cross Hotel, he must have been looking forward to hearing about Mr Gilligan's experiences under fire in his beloved Iraq.
The leading weapons expert would have been confident that, having requested anonymity, he could enjoy an off-the-record chat. The tragedy of the Dr Kelly affair is that his innate trust that his anonymity would be protected led to his death.
Lord Hutton concluded yesterday that he was satisfied that, at their meeting, Dr Kelly had not told Mr Gilligan that the Government probably knew the 45-minute claim about Saddam's WMD was wrong when it drew up the September dossier in 2002. But Lord Hutton went on to posthumously chastise Dr Kelly for breaching civil service confidentiality rules by having an "unauthorised" meeting with Mr Gilligan in the first place.
But where would we be if the only information the public has comes from the spin machine of government? If that were the case, the public would believe that the former UN inspector - whom we now know to be one of the world's most distinguished biological experts - was a "Walter Mitty" character. This man, who helped me understand the complex world of WMD, was a scientist, not a political animal. As a scientist, he was interested in the truth.
As we now know, one factor that led to his suicide was the realisation that he had been found out for telling a lie to a parliamentary committee about a conversation he had with the BBC journalist Susan Watts. Dr Kelly was actually encouraged to talk to journalists because of his expertise. Although he was aware of certain "red lines" that he must not stray across, his conversations with journalists never got him into trouble until he wandered into the feud between Mr Gilligan and Alastair Campbell.
Dr Kelly would always scrupulously return the telephone messages I left at his Oxfordshire home. In 2001, while he was still connected to the UN weapons inspection agency, he did not mind being quoted by name. In 2002, he was just as ready to help, but preferred to remain anonymous, as he was then an "adviser" to the MoD.
My feeling is that Dr Kelly, the scientist, was out of his depth when he met Mr Gilligan, the political animal. He may have allowed himself to be drawn by the reporter, who was aggressively investigating why no WMD had been found in Iraq after the end of the war.
The fact that Mr Gilligan "outed" Dr Kelly in his now infamous e-mail to the foreign affairs committee is, of course, reprehensible. But the Government, and Dr Kelly's MoD handlers, equally failed to protect his anonymity.
Lord Hutton does say that the MoD was "at fault" for not telling Dr Kelly it would confirm his name to journalists who got it right. But he also says that it was "unrealistic" to think the name could have been kept secret indefinitely by the MoD. Sadly, Lord Hutton accepts unquestioningly the government view that there was a danger Tony Blair would be accused of a "cover up" by concealing Dr Kelly's name.
But there is a broader issue here. Our democracy depends on the protection of anonymous sources, particularly those who are in breach of the Orwellian gag orders which can be invoked by the government. But it can't have it both ways: allowing experts to talk to journalists, then accusing them of breaking the rules when they do.
The fact remains that Dr Kelly committed suicide hours after he was hounded by MoD e-mails asking for the names of journalists he had spoken to. The scientist's family expressed yesterday the hope that the Government would take measures to ensure that "no other person should have to suffer the pressure that he experienced". Quite.

Confusion and Danger in Ukraine, Moscow
As pro Russian forces continue to take control of Ukrainian assets in Crimea, there appears to be little international community can do to stop it. The story from CBS news correspondent Cami McCormick:
Defense Secretary Hagel made it clear to his Russian counterpart that his military is directly responsible for any casualties - whether caused by uniformed troops or irregulars without insignias.
Spokesman Rear Admiral John Kirby also says reports of continued attacks highlight the dangerous situation created by Moscow.
There's also confusion in the Ukrainian ranks - its troops say they are not receiving any clear orders from Kiev.

Style: 30569784 Colour:
Sheer cami with an oversized swing silhouette and armholes. Raw hem.
Swingy Staple
The perfect top for showing off a cute bralette or lacy underthing. The arm holes drop very low, exposing a lot on the sides, but the neckline is cut high enough that it doesn't really feel too revealing overall. The only downside is how easily the fabric wrinkles, which makes it hard to pack on trips.
I was very confused when this product came in, because the pictures and other reviewers indicated that the arm holes do drop down low. When I received it in the mail, however, it fit like a normal tank top; only the back was low cut, not the arms. I was extremely disappointed, as I bought it specifically for the shape. Wondering if I got sent a product that was labeled with the wrong tag?
I just don't get it
I don't get all the positive reviews on this one! Yes, it's beautiful,, but it would only work if: 1) You never bend over 2) You never pick up children, animals, or anything with pointy objects 3) You don't mind showing the world all your parts I love the flow, but it's just not practical. And the material is SO delicate, I'd be scared to snag it OR wash it. These are going back :(
very nice BUT shrinked when washed !!
i bought 2 of this item. when i washed them they shrinked ! i washed them in cold water just a quick wash...checked the item tag too so to be sure to wash them as instructed...very disappointing
Perfect tank
Love this tank! I got the white in an xs and it's still roomy. I throw on a strappy back bra and some boyfriend jeans and some fp sandals and I'm set. Material is thin, but perfect for summer. I love how breathable it is. I will be getting more colors :) Thanks to my fp girls who suggested it to me!
Flowy and fun
I have this now in both the dusk and black in XS, I'm 5'2" 32B, 25, 32. They are both wonderful and super flowy tops. The only issue is that they do run very large and move around a bit so sometimes a bra may become exposed in the front and the armpit holes on the side are extremely low so wearing a bralette would be a good idea. Overall great top that can easily be dressed up or down.
This is a great summer cami it is very light and roomy I ordered a size small my normal size, but I definitely could of went down to a extra small considering this top runs large. For reference I am a 34D I am considering ordering a couple more of these tops since they will get a lot of use during the summer months.
Fun and Comfortable
I love this shirt to throw on over a pretty bralette or a swimsuit. Be warned, this done run large - which it is supposed to be lose but it runs really big. I usually wear a Small in FP and need an XS in this one.
I have this in black and white.. It's an absolute must in anyone's wardrobe. I can't begin to tell you how many different ways I wear this. It's nice and low in the back, so it goes amazingly well with strappy bras. I usually wear a small in FP tops, but I purchased a medium so it ha a larger fit. Will be buying in charcoal and possibly a few others soon!

This seems like a strange way for the BBC to cut costs: newly published minutes from the BBC Trust, the Corporation's watchdog, show that the Beeb's Executive, led by director-general Mark Thompson, has asked that the proportion of the licence fee spent on the BBC estate should go up from 6% to 8% - ie, an increase of 33%.
The reason is that the BBC has been selling off freehold properties and taking leaseholds. The minutes acknowledge that the leasehold portfolio is "more expensive". The rise takes the BBC budget for its estate to £360 million.
The BBC admits costs are rising but insists part of the increase is just an accounting adjustment in the way the budget is calculated as there was a value associated with having the freeholds, which wasn't previously included in the estate budget.
A spokesman says: "Moving from a freehold to a leasehold estate will release capital that can be reinvested in content [ie. TV shows] and to refurbish - physically and technologically - other parts of the estate. This has already enabled us to modernise 70% of our buildings at no additional cost to the licence fee payer."
This still doesn't change the fact that switching to leasehold is an additional cost to licence fee payers.
* Credit should go to the excellent blog on BBC matters, Trading as WDR, for spotting this other gem in the Trust minutes about BBC executive pay. The BBC Trustees "agreed that the chairman should reinforce with the director-general the need for discipline in this area". Reinforce the need for discipline? Hmmm. Sounds like an interesting conversation between chairman Lord Patten and D-G Mark Thompson. The duo are, of course, agreed at all times about the levels of executive pay...
Ocado looks to M: for salvation
A big shake-up in corporate public relations: internet grocer Ocado has ditched agency Brunswick in favour of M:Communications. Ocado's decision comes 18 months after its float. Since then the share price has tanked, erstwhile partner Waitrose has become a growing threat with its own service, and there was a profits warning last month. Clearly Ocado boss Tim Steiner and chairman
Lord Grade feel they need new advice. M: knows how Brunswick must feel - it worked on Supergroup's 2010 float, only to lose the account to College Hill.
* More astronomy on the brain for David "Two Brains" Willetts, the Science and Universities Minister, who has set out his plans to explore space. "The Space Leadership Council was formed in March 2010," Willetts tells Policy Exchange. "It had been set up by Paul Drayson when he was science minister in the last government." He adds that "Professor Sir Keith O'Nions, Rector of Imperial College kindly prepared a space technology road map last year. That is a basis for everyone to take decisions on where to invest. Some of this might fall to the Government but business has to make a matching investment in return. That it rests on an agreed plan makes that easier." Apparently it's all part of an effort to "rebalance our economy" - by getting economic growth going on Mars?
Enough to turn Diamond red
Congratulations to Barclays Bank for being shortlisted for an award. City Spy is not sure this is one gong that chief executive Bob Diamond will be picking up if the bank wins, though. It's been recognised for the 2012 Public Eye "shame award" because of its supposed financial speculation on food prices. Anti-poverty campaign group the World Development Movement - which nominated Barclays - claims it is estimated to make up to £340 million a year from speculating in food futures markets, adding: "Barclays is essentially gambling on food prices, at the expense of millions of people who cannot afford to buy food as a result. Speculating on food is reckless in the extreme and governments must take action to curb it." Voting begins today, with the winner announced on January 27 in Davos to coincide with the World Economic Forum.
Ryanair wins travel's 'most unpopular' poll
Ahead of next month's Business Travel Show at Earl's Court, organisers have conducted a survey of buyers to see whom they love and loathe. Not surprisingly, Ryanair headed the poll of brands that should be banned, and it also won first place in the league of "travel villains" with Michael O'Leary in person also in the top five, just ahead of Heathrow Airport. British Airways came top of the "travel hero" category with 33% of the vote of 252 travel buyers. Amazingly, 17% of those polled regarded Mayor Boris Johnson as a "travel hero", not far behind Eurostar.
* This year's Business Travel Show is attracting a lot of exotic airlines, eager to drum up trade. Among the exhibitors set to take part are Air Astana from Kazakhstan, Arik Air from Nigeria and Ethiopian Airlines. Sounds like some of globe-trotting, speech-giving ex-premier Tony Blair's favourite destinations...
* Now here's a denial. Cuban state media was not impressed by rumours on Twitter that former leader Fidel Castro had died. These rumours were spread, said officials, by "necrophiliac counterrevolutionaries".
* Usually prices only go one way but could good news be on the horizon for cinema-goers? Cineworld boss Steve Wiener hinted that his chain could make a trip to the flicks a bit cheaper. "We ran a test in Scotland where we eliminated booking fees, and the results were promising," he said, suggesting that the plan could be rolled out around the country this year. Removing the 70p-a-seat levy won't save the economy, but every little helps...Reuse content

As Denis Kessler quietly celebrates 10 years at the helm of SCOR, he reflects on the remarkable turnaround he instigated at the company, ponders future opportunities and tells II that one of his biggest concerns now is that Solvency II will never be implemented.
There cannot be many leaders of reinsurers globally who have been on as much of a rollercoaster ride as Denis Kessler, the chairman and chief executive of SCOR. The French reinsurer is now one of the top five players worldwide, with a truly international presence—it is regarded as part of the reinsurance establishment. Even the SCOR lounge in Monte Carlo seems as though it has been there forever.
That this is the case illustrates just what an incredible job Kessler has done since he took the reins of the company almost exactly 10 years ago. It is remarkable how quickly people have forgotten just what a mess SCOR was in back then.
At one stage, during the 2003 Monte Carlo Rendez-vous in fact, it had been downgraded to BBB- and was teetering precariously close to the brink of collapse. Cedants had lost faith in the company, its shareholders were deserting it and the demise of what had been one of the strongest players in the industry looked a real possibility.

D.G. Van Clief Jr., commissioner of the National Thoroughbred Racing Association and president of Breeders' Cup, will be honored Aug. 4 with the Equine Advocates Safe Home Equine Protection Award.He will receive the award at the annual Equine Advocates awards dinner and charity auction to be held at Jeffrey and Melanie Tucker's Stone Bridge Farm in Schulyerville, N.Y."D.G. Van Clief is one of the most highly respected people in Thoroughbred racing nationally and internationally, and in the entire horse industry, in general," said Equine Advocates president Susan Wagner. "As both President of the Breeders' Cup and Commissioner and CEO of the National Thoroughbred Racing Association (NTRA), his strong stance against horse slaughter is an inspiration and ray of hope to everyone who loves and cares about horses, and sends a powerful message to those who work in the horse industry that this cruel practice must be universally outlawed.""While I am honored by this recognition, I can think of few people who deserve it less. There are so many others who have done so much to protect the health and welfare of our horses, and I hope in some way to be able to redirect the spotlight onto their efforts. I would like to acknowledge the good work done by Equine Advocates and especially note the example of personal responsibility to one's horses which they set."Equine Advocates, a national non-profit equine protection organization, has been rescuing horses and actively opposing horse slaughter since 1996. All proceeds from the event will benefit Equine Advocates' horse rescue & sanctuary programs. The evening's entertainment will feature The Beach Boys. A limited number of tickets are available. Tickets are $250 per person and must be purchased in advance. No tickets will be sold at the door. For more information, call (518) 245-1599.

The more 'yes' answers you give, the worse your chances of coping when borrowing costs rise.
Do you have a variable rate loan?
Fixed rates are not always as cheap as variable deals with discounts, but they provide certainty if your finances are stretched.
Did you push your budget to the limit to afford your property, perhaps borrowing the deposit as well?
In the past, hefty salary rises would have reduced your mortgage burden within a year or two of you taking it out. But unless you're a whizz kid, your salary will have done little more than keep pace with inflation. Prepare to tighten your belt.
Do you think budgeting is for bores?
One positive aspect of the struggle many first-time buyers have, to get on the property ladder, is that it forces them to start balancing their own books. If you managed to buy without a budget, you're probably rich enough not to worry.
Are you locked into a variable rate deal that automatically raises payments once the special rate has expired?
Lenders do not offer these deals as freely as they once did because there was an outcry from unhappy borrowers. But they are still available; responsible lenders will make sure you know what you can expect once the special deal expires. Make sure you listen.
Do you have several debts as well as a mortgage?
No explanation needed here; more is not merrier with multiple debts.
Have you borrowed to pay off other debt?
Not necessarily a bad idea if you have cut monthly outgoings and have resisted any temptation to continue borrowing.
Is your loan large in relation to the value of your property?
You're at risk of negative equity if the housing market collapses. This does not mean you will have trouble with repayments, but it will be hard to sell your way out of trouble.
Do you have a second mortgage?
Again, not a problem necessarily, but an indicator that you could be overstretched and underinformed about the cost of credit. Ray Boulger, of mortgage broker John Charcol, believes that many people take out expensive second mortgages to raise funds when they could probably borrow from their existing lender.
The rate on a second mortgage may be lower than on a credit card, but it may not be as low as if you borrowed from a mainstream lender. When you take out a second mortgage, you increase the risk of losing your home if you cannot keep up the payments.
Do you think shopping around for loans and credit cards is a waste of time?
At present it is possible to switch debts from an existing credit card to a new one and pay no interest for several months on the debt you transfer. The trick then is to move on to another zero-rate or low-rate deal when this one expires.
If you have a traditional variable-rate mortgage, you are almost certainly paying more than you need. There are many deals available at less than 5 per cent, without onerous extended redemption penalties.

The ambitious Coca-Cola League Two club are the subject of an order scheduled to be heard at the Bankruptcy Division of the High Court on November 18.
Despite the notice being served on September 25 on the club's UK parent company Blenheim 1862 the debt, which is thought to relate to PAYE and VAT submissions dating back more than two years, has still not been settled. Four days remain in which to make a settlement to prevent the case going before the courts.
A statement published in the insolvency notices journal in the London Gazette last week read: "A Petition to wind up the above-named Company of Meadow Lane Stadium, Meadow Lane, Nottingham NG2 3HJ, presented on 25 September 2009 by the Commissioners for HM Revenue and Customs, claiming to be creditors of the Company, will be heard at the Royal Courts of Justice, 18 November 2009."
Notts County refused to comment on the matter.
In June the supporters' trust handed over the club to Qadbak, a British Virgin Islands-registered company. As part of that deal the trust wrote off almost £400,000 in shares and loans it held in Blenheim 1862.
Qadbak owns Notts County via another British Virgin Islands vehicle called Munto Finance, which in turn holds the shares in Blenheim 1862.

After a delayed start due to broken equipment, Phoenix Reach proved he was worth the wait by taking the (HK)$14 Million Cathay Pacific Hong Kong Vase (HK-I) by a half-length over Sights on Gold, with Valle Enchantee two lengths back in third. Phoenix Reach completed the 2,400-meter distance (1 _-mile) in 2:29.80.The start was delayed a few extra minutes after the bridle on Phoenix Reach broke as the field was entering the starting gate. The dozen starters were led away from the gate and circled as a replacement bridle was found for Phoenix Reach. In a very slowly run race where Beethoven, Warrsan, and Super Kid set the early pace, Phoenix Reach settled in fifth and always traveled well before Martin Dwyer took control of the race at the top of the stretch.Thirty-one-year-old Andrew Balding conditions Phoenix Reach, who entered the Hong Kong Vase after a good showing in the Japan Cup, for Andrew Crist's Winterbeck Manor Stud. By Alhaath, Phoenix Reach was bred in Great Britain from the Hatim mare Carroll's Canyon."I really think we needed the win," said Balding, who is in his second season of training and had dreamed about six weeks earlier of Phoenix Reach wearing a replacement bridle and winning in group I company. "Phoenix Reach had a viral infection early this year. The main thought was to get him healthy for the Japan Cup. After his showing he was invited to come here. I have always said he was a group I horse."
Phoenix Reach Worth the Wait in Hong Kong Vase

Event Details
With Life of Pi, film director Ang Lee won the Academy Award for Best Director in 2013. Originally from Taiwan, Lee is the first person of Asian descent to win an Oscar for Best Director -- and he has done it twice (first time with Brokeback Mountain). Representing Taiwan, his Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon also won the Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film in 2001.
To celebrate Ang Lee's artistic achievement, the "Spotlight Taiwan in Austin" project invites Austinites to watch Life of Pi in 3D at Galaxy Highland 10 Theatre on April 12 (Saturday). If you missed the film or want to watch this breathtakingly beautiful 3D production again, here comes another opportunity.
The program includes:
- A slideshow featuring fun facts about Life of Pi, Ang Lee, and Taiwan starting at 1:30 pm;
- The screening of Life of Pi in 3D at 2 pm (127 minutes);
- Following the screening, Professor Thomas Schatz, world-renowned film scholar from UT's Radio-TV-Film Department, will share his insight on Ang Lee and his work with us.
Here's how to participate:
1. The screening is free but you MUST register on Eventbrite to get your free ticket (one ticket per person).
2. You MUST print and bring your ticket from Eventbrite (hardcopy ticket required at the entrance).
3. Your ticket guarantees you a seat only until 1:45 pm. To secure your seat and learn more about Taiwan, please arrive by 1:30 pm. After 1:45 pm your seat will be given to those on the waitlist.

Lexical classifications have proved useful in supporting various natural language processing (NLP) tasks. The largest verb classification for English is Levin's (1993) work which defines groupings of verbs based on syntactic and semantic properties. VerbNet (VN) (Kipper et al. 2000; Kipper-Schuler 2005)—an extensive computational verb lexicon for English—provides detailed syntactic-semantic descriptions of Levin classes. While the classes included are extensive enough for some NLP use, they are not comprehensive. Korhonen and Briscoe (2004) have proposed a significant extension of Levin's classification which incorporates 57 novel classes for verbs not covered (comprehensively) by Levin. Korhonen and Ryant (unpublished) have recently proposed another extension including 53 additional classes. This article describes the integration of these two extensions into VN. The result is a comprehensive Levin-style classification for English verbs providing over 90% token coverage of the Proposition Bank data (Palmer et al. 2005) and thus can be highly useful for practical applications.

Came across this very interesting youtube clip. With GEP test just round the corner, I thought I'll share it here (I kop from HWZ one).
NUS (FASS) decided to interview the pioneer batches of GEP students - to ask them how they feel about the programme and the challenges they face, academically and socially. They even interviewed 2 ex-GEP teachers for their inputs.
Very enjoyable clip. You can tell that except for one *snob*, the rest of the geppers are really ordinary folks like most of us ... except that they can speak very well and some of them really have very profound thinking.
Interesting interview with pioneer GEP students by NUS

Jane DoeMature
Jane sat pen in hand, eyes fixed between the paper that lay on her desk and eternity.
Jim was on her mind and no work was getting done.
He was carrying something heavy she could see it, in his eyes his glazed thoughts, and he was tetchy more so than the norm.
If only she could reach him or knew what to say, but they were partners not friends.
If there was any crossing of lines, it had to be from Jim.
He was the man.
He was in pain.
He was lost, scared?
A sharp pain sheared through Jane's throat she was choking on blood, steel.
A ragged masculine face looked up at her in utter disgust and surprise/fear?
Then she was falling...

A horrible cry shattered the stillness of the forest and somewhere a deer stopped dead in her nocturnal wander, frozen by the sound. In the far distance, a wolf howl rose as if in reply then faded and the air was still again. The doe sniffed the air cautiously, her ears flicking back and forth then she went on her way, her gait faster now, unsettled. The light of the moon shone down upon her path, throwing her shape into sharp relief, making her easy prey, seeming to catch her no matter how deep into the forest she went. Though the creature could not comprehend that it was unusually bright on this night, she still sensed that something was different,something was wrong. Behind her a twig snapped and she bolted , her every nerve a taught spring. In her strange panic, the doe ran headfirst into a tree, the sheer momentum killing her instantly. As her life ebbed away, that horrific sound pierced the air again, falling on her slowly stiffening ears.
Victor woke in agony, his leg burning with a ferocity that reached his belly and made him want to vomit. He couldn't contain the screams that burst from him as pain thrummed up and down his left leg in sharp spasms. The moon glared down upon his fevered body, far too bright to be natural, its oddly magnetic pull making his head ache. He had been dreaming again.
Waiting for the pain to subside as it usually did soon after he woke, Victor tried to gather his thoughts. The sweat on his brow began to cool, and his leg grew still, left with only a dull ache now. It was getting easier, but to look at the bare skin there would tell a different story. The wolf's teeth had left long scars and deep jagged furrows all over his shin and ankle.He had been sleeping when the animal attacked, trying to tear his leg off, seemingly thinking he was dead and easy pickings. He had fought the wolf off, with no weapon at his disposal, only his hands. In a flurry of fur and teeth, Victor had ripped the animals bottom jaw clean off, the pain in his leg fueling a rage that he could barely control. He remembered skinning the dead hide and wearing it around his neck, still warm with the wolfs blood. The savage rage the creatures attack had awoken never really left him, or perhaps it had always been there. He couldn't remember anything prior to the wolf attack, apart from a strange village he had apparently resided in for a summer. He didn't care much to remember anything else, much more preoccupied with the strange dreams that would come visiting all too often while he tried to sleep.
They seemed to consist of gardens with tantalizing scents and strange lights, jade gates and faceless people with low monotone voices who kept calling his name. He only assumed his name was Victor since it was what these dream people called him. He felt beckoned by these nightly visions, and tortured by them too, drawn helplessly to them though he knew agony would follow. The only thing Victor knew for certain, was that he had to find this place from where they called. It was much less a thought than it was a feeling, hard and certain and never letting up. This was one of the few feelings he would allow to rule any step he took.
Only because it was stronger than he was.

A billionaire property tycoon is suing a garage in London after his Lamborghini set ablaze and blew up after having work done on it.
The worst part? His SON was driving the rare 1971 Lambo as as it caught on fire. He hadn't even drove a mile before the incident happened.
His son was unharmed, but you couldn't say that for the car, which is considered 'the world's first sports car'.
The well-known garage that handled the work, H.R. Owen Dealerships Ltd, are now being sued by the billionaire who features on the Sunday Times Rich List.
He's claiming £700,000 in compensation for the now nonexistent supercar, including damages for storage and 'loss of enjoyment' of the vehicle itself.
A spokeswoman for H.R Owen said: "This is a case between two insurance companies, but H.R Owen continue to do business with Jon Hunt."
One thing is for sure, I'm glad I don't work at H.R Owen.

Alliance Rail Holdings (Alliance) through its subsidiary GNWR has been granted rights by the Office of Rail and Road, to operate 6 return services a day between Blackpool and London Euston.
The new service could start as early as 2018 and will see Arriva investing in rolling stock and creating around 120 new jobs to operate these services.
Alongside the provision of new direct services from Blackpool to London, passengers will benefit from the increased competition these will provide on the West Coast Main Line (WCML). Communities along the 220 mile route will also benefit from additional journey opportunities at a number of other stations in the North West and the Midlands.
Proposed Route Map
Alliance Rail Holdings (Alliance) has started consultation within the rail industry on starting a new 'open access' rail service between Southampton and London Waterloo to begin in December 2017. There will be 7 off-peak services a day, calling at Eastleigh, Winchester, Basingstoke and Hook, with 2 peak services introduced a year later in December 2018. Following consultation the application will then be determined by the Office of Rail and Road (ORR).
Alliance will initially use Class 442 trains, with peak trains offering 600 seats on each service, with both Standard and First class accommodation provided. It is recognised that there are severe overcrowding problems on this route in the peak, and the provision of these extra services will help address the problem.

Human intelligence (or humint) is a term for intelligence gathering.
Admiral Montgommery of Starfleet Intelligence referred to Federation spies in the Dominion as being "humints", but Benjamin Sisko pointed out that the operatives in question may not have been Human, given Admiral Montgommery's "old school" approach. (DS9 novel: Vengeance)

AARP Workforce Profiles: Selected characteristics of U.S. workers and non-workers age 40+
The AARP Workforce Profiles are designed to provide information about the national and state workforce age 40 and older and enable individuals and organizations dealing with older worker issues to have a better understanding of this population in order to plan and implement programs related to them.
The Profiles provide information about age 40+ workers and non-workers nationally and within each state, such as the number of hours worked per week, in which industries they work, how many work in the private or public sector, and how they get to work. Also, demographic characteristics of workers and non-workers are provided such as race, source of health insurance coverage, source of income, and grandparent status.
Further information may be obtained by contacting Jennifer H. Sauer of AARP State Research at (202) 434-6207 or Rosa Maymi of AARP Education and Outreach at (202) 434-3906.
Undoubtedly, the aging of the 77 million baby boomers – those individuals born between 1946 and 1964 – has impacted the U.S. workforce over the past decade and according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), this aging cohort will continue to impact the labor force over the next decade as well. Currently, there are over 144 million individuals in the U.S. age 40 and older, and among them, over 76 million are working.1
The BLS further projects that in 2020, the 55+ age group will total 97.8 million and will make up over one-quarter (28.7%) of the resident population and will increase their share of the labor force by 38 percent.2,3 Moreover, while the participation rate of workers age 65 and older has steadily increased since 1990, their participation rate since the start of the recession has considerably surpassed that of workers aged 55-64.4 By 2020, civilian labor force participation rate for this age group is projected to be 22.6 percent.5 And the BLS notes that not until 2020, when the older baby boomers begin to exit the workforce, will the U.S. labor force begin to experience a downturn in numbers.
AARP Workforce Profiles are an update of the 2005 publication, AARP State Profiles of Workers 45+. Like the earlier publication, these profiles are designed to provide specific information about the 40+ workforce nationally and in each state for those who work or share an interest in the enhancement of the older U.S. workforce. The profiles are intended to provide the user with a broad understanding of this population in order to plan and implement programs related to mature workers.
The profiles provide information about age 40+ workers within each state, such as the number of hours worked per week, in which industries they work, how many work in the private or public sector, and how they get to work. In addition, the user can view demographic characteristics of workers and non-workers with respect to health insurance coverage, income, source of income, education, disability status, race, gender, and grandparent status.
Data were gathered from the 2009-2011 American Community Survey (ACS) Public Use Micro Sample (PUMS), which is taken from the U.S. Census Bureau data. Data for Puerto Rico were provided from the U.S. Census Bureau's 2009-2011 Puerto Rico Community Survey (PCRS).6 No data are available for the U.S. Virgin Islands from the U.S. Census Bureau.

For purposes of this resource, employment-related terms are defined as follows:
- workers/employed: includes those working as paid employees, working for profit in their own business or profession, on their farm, or for 15 hours or more unpaid on family farm or in family business; also includes those on active duty in the U.S. Armed Forces (part of ACS "labor force" definition)
- non-workers: includes the unemployed and those not in the labor force (i.e., both of the categories below)
- unemployed: includes those not working as a paid employee, and those actively looking for work and available to start a job
- not in the labor force: includes students, homemakers, retired workers, seasonal workers interviewed in an off season who were not looking for work, institutionalized people, or those doing unpaid family work for less than 15 hours per week
For more information on ACS employment definitions please go to http://www.census.gov/people/laborforce/about/acs_employ.html.
For more information on how ACS estimates differ from other sources, please see http://www.census.gov/hhes/www/laborfor/laborguidance092209.html.
In order to improve the precision of the estimates at the state level, particularly for smaller or less populated states, the 3-year 2009–2011 ACS PUMS data was used for this analysis. As a result, the data presented here technically represent average values over the three year period. The national unweighted sample for the U.S. population age 40+ in this dataset is 4,727,802. Sample size and margins of error remain an issue for some subgroups and caution must be used when making inferences in these cases. Simply put, the margin of error describes how far a sample's results stray from the true value of an entire population. The smaller the margin of error, the greater likelihood the sample is representative of the population.
Given that the ACS is a survey of a sample of people drawn from the larger population, smaller states like Wyoming or Delaware are likely to yield small samples of the U.S. population, and therefore yield a smaller number of respondents and larger margins of error within subgroups such as the number of workers age 50+ with no health coverage. On the other hand, more populated states like California are likely to yield greater numbers of respondents and smaller margins of error within subgroups, making inferences to the larger state population more reliable. This resource does not provide a way for users to test for significance between estimates, so use caution when comparing geographies as differences may not be meaningful. Cautionary notes are also included throughout the profiles in cases where the unweighted sample size for a particular age group in a state is less than 1,000. The margin of error for a sample of 1,000 is +/- 3.0 percent.
The data behind this resource comes from the Census Bureau's American Community Survey (ACS). The ACS is an ongoing survey that samples a small percentage of the population every year in the United States and Puerto Rico – rather than from the whole population like the decennial census. Foremost, data from the ACS determines how federal and state funds are distributed each year to states and local communities but the data are available for public use for a variety of purposes. All ACS data are survey estimates and not exact numbers and proportions in a point in time. The data are available in 1, 3, and 5-year period estimates so data are combined to produce 12 months, 36 months or 60 months of data.
The American Community Survey Public Use Microdata Sample, or PUMS, is a data set of un-tabulated records of individual people or housing units produced by the Census Bureau. As with all Census information, PUMS files are available to the public and allow users access to inexpensive data for custom tables, regression analysis, or modeling applications not available with the pre-tabulated ACS data.
For more information on the American Community Survey and how to use the data, please go to http://www.census.gov/acs/www/guidance_for_data_users/guidance_main/.
For more information about PUMS, please go to http://www.census.gov/acs/www/data_documentation/public_use_microdata_sample/.

The guard was not, in fact, a guard. Rather they were an impostor, planted by the Britaga. As any employee of the Britaga was trained to do, they had memorised the route to the dungeons and brought an entire arsenal for this one special purpose.
The impostor reached the dungeon in a matter of minutes, already there was Varashden, and the gaoler for the evening, who had been not-blissfully asleep at his post before the half-man appeared and rapped him on the forehead to wake him.
The gaoler woke, mistaking what he saw as a continuation of his nightmare, he gave a loud cry of shock at the horrific face of Varashden, he nearly lashed out. Then he remembered that it was no demon of sleep, but a demon of waking hours, twice as real and ten times as horrifying.
Varashden rolled his eyes and simply walked past the gaoler, leaving him to his own devices. It was then that the gaoler noticed the impostor, standing over him. They leaned close to him and whispered in a sexless voice 'How many prisoners are here?' To emphasize the impostor's hurry, they pressed the flat of a dagger into the gaoler's stomach.
'Just the one. The rest were... moved. First as far away from the prisoner as possible, but even that didn't work. They kicked up a stink 'till the whole lot of them were moved to another cell block. I don't think tha-' his speech was cut short as the dagger drew across his throat, quickly and quietly.
'Enough.' growled the impostor to the dead man. He cut the keys from the gaoler's belt and left the dagger in the man's chest. After all, he had plenty more in his arsenal, why risk detection with a dripping-bloody dagger when he had a fresh one?
In front of him the strange half-man stood by the bars and hissed poisonous words to the cell. It appeared empty but for the shadows and telltale clink of metal on stone. 'You are destined for the Long Halls, my friend. At noon tomorrow, you will be an exile.'
