No narration during this video.
A dramatic soundtrack plays throughout the video.
The exterior of a building, a man in his car looking up to the sky. A women in the background turns around to also look up.
Shot of downtown Ottawa. Part of Wellington Street and the renowned Fairmount Château Laurier hotel. Virtual elements are added by computer: a big totem pole is being raised in the middle of the street by a group of men. At the same moment, a line appears on the right of the screen and slithers through the sky towards the left, passing behind the totem pole.
Close-up of the man and his car. Another older man stands outside and looks up.
Shot of downtown Ottawa. The National Gallery of Canada and the Notre-Dame Cathedral. The virtual lines appear on the left of the screen, flies over the town towards the right and passes behind the Cathedral. In the middle of the scene, giant gears from a clock's mechanism appear.

Shot of the Rideau Canal. A virtual sailing boat sails through the canal, surrounded by icebergs. The line flies over the scene.
A man and a woman look at the scene, amazed. Another man approaches on the right.
Shot of the Ottawa River. The Parliament from a distance from behind and the Fairmount Chateau Laurier hotel. A sailing boat and canoes are on the water. Two spirals appear and drag the boats and canoes out of the water, giving the impression that they are flying towards the Parliament. Gulls are flying in the sky as we hear their cries.
A woman in sportswear stops in front of Alexandra Bridge and looks into the distance.
Shot of the Centre Block seen from the Parliament Hill, at night. A line contours the outline of the Parliament. The virtual elements seen in the previous scenes (totem pole, sailing boat, canoes and gulls) appear in movement, flying over the Hill. The totem is raised and aligns with the peace Tower. We hear the cries of the gulls in the background.
The music stops with a loud drumming noise.

** Shawshank Redemption 2 Disc Special Edition DVD for just $4.99 with Free Postage!! TODAY ONLY**
Tim Robbins (The Player, Bob Roberts, The Hudsucker Proxy) and Academy Award nominee, Morgan Freeman (Unforgiven, Driving Miss Daisy, Seven), star in arguably one of the most popular films of the modern era.
Hope is tested, friendships are made in the strangest of places, and survival instincts are put to the test, all inside the walls of a maximum-security prison.
Based on the Stephen King novella, the tale revolves around Andy Dufresne (Tim Robbins), a well-to-do banker convicted of murdering his wife and her lover, though the circumstances around his case are shady to say the least. He's sent to the Shawshank State Prison where he meets 'Red' Redding (Morgan Freeman), a 'lifer' who's spent most of his days on Earth behind bars. Bearing twenty years on the inside together, the harsh prison life and its ruthless warden don't stop the two from giving up on their dreams of freedom. With posters of beautiful Hollywood actresses on his wall to remind him of love, and with his clever accounting mind, Dufresne finds a place for himself, giving him time to work on a plan for a possible future.

jamn1 Review
Like going to the movies
I received my DVD projector yesterday. Last night I did the easy set-up and watched a movie on the living room wall. I was totally WOWED!! Great picture from DLP Texas Instrument. I am old enough to remember the thrill when Cinemascope was introduced in the theaters with wide screen. I got that thrill again in my own home with this system since I played a wide screen DVD. Can't wait to set it up with surround sound. I will truly have a home theater. The built in speaker system is acceptable, It is very portable with it's own carrying case. I love it. Great buy Overstock.com!!!

Once you have your SSH key created and imported into the dashboard, you can go ahead and create your instances. Please make sure to select the keypair you wish to use on the "Access & Security" tab of the instance creation screen. For ssh to work it is required that port 22 is open in your selected security group in the DreamCompute Access & Security - Security Group dashboard.
Using Windows
A common program for ssh on windows is PuTTY or putty-nd . PuTTY requires that you convert your private key into a .ppk file before it can be used to connect via ssh. To do this, open up the PuTTY Key Generator (puttygen.exe), click the Conversions menu then "Import Key". Browse to the folder that contains the *.pem file you downloaded from the DreamCompute dashboard, or the private key you created outside the Dashboard. You can give the key a name in the "Key comment" field, and when finished click the "Save private key" button to save it into a .ppk file.
Now you can open PuTTY and navigate to the Connection -> SSH -> Auth setting page to click the "browse" button near the "Private key file for authentication" field. Select the .ppk file you generated and then click open. You can now navigate to the "Session" setting page, and enter the username of your image into the host name field, followed by the IP address of your server.
The default username for each image is:
Default Usernames
Instances created before October 5th, 2016 will continue to have "dhc-user" as the default user, except for CoreOS, which will have "core" as the default user.
- Ubuntu: ubuntu
- Fedora: fedora
- Debian: debian
- CentOS: centos
- CoreOS: core
Using Mac & Linux
On Unix based systems, the ssh key will need to be setup first. There are several ways to do this:
- Configure as your main key
- Copy the key or .pem file to your home directory, to the ~/.ssh/id_rsa file.
- Configure as an alternative key
- Copy the key or .pem file to a safe place, and then edit your ~/.ssh/config file to specify that connections to that specific host will use this alternate key.
Host IPADDRESS IdentityFile ~/path/to/key
[user@localhost]$ ssh user@IPADDRESS
- No configuration, specifying the key on the command line
- Connect via ssh -i ~/path/to/key user@IPADDRESS

Natalie Markowitz Wittlin is a third-year doctoral student whose research focuses on psychological responses to members of gender minority groups. In one line of work, for example, she employs methods from the study of gender essentialism to uncover implicit categorizations of transgender men and women. In another, she investigates whether people who challenge widely-held assumptions about sex and gender are "dehumanized" - that is, denied traits thought to be unique to humans. Natalie earned her B. A. from Barnard College at Columbia University with a major in psychology and a minor in political science. Prior to beginning graduate school, she worked in the fields of education, public health, and psychology.

Infinite Computer Solutions (India) Ltd based in Bangaluru specializes in the provision of application development and maintenance services (ADM) which contributes to about 60% of its total revenue, the rest 40% is taken care of by IP (intellectual property) based solutions and services that involve remote infrastructure management (RIM).
The company brings good faith in the investor with its impressive client profile like Verizon, ACS, Fujitsu, IBM and Motorola which it has also been able to keep with itself in the past. These clients contribute to about 31% of the total revenue of the company that reflects that the client base is increasing and there is less client concentration which eliminates risk factor up to a significant level.
The major risk factors to look out for include a great geographic concentration at about 80% which is concentrated in USA. Expect that the RIM segment should contribute the most in the growth drive. Looking at the present scenario we expect the revenues of the company to almost 24% in the next two years or so to which the major contributor shall be the inorganic growth. We see that the PAT margins are range bound presently but we are positive on the stock because of the enhancement in its product mix.
Bell the Bull says: The stock is presently hovering within the Rs 120 – 150 price band but we expect it to be fairly priced at around Rs.250-260 as we now stand and look at the earning potential of the company.

Increasing performance changing AMG parameters in Star-CCM+
Hi. I am simulating a rotating machine with heat tranfer and heat conduction. The pressure takes long before converging. Is there any parameter in the AMG solver I could change to increase the performances? (the BicGstab is already on)
For the Multi-Grid, I think that you may be able to increase the group size to improve convergence speed.
I would also experiment with changing the under-relaxation factors.
I saw some improvment in the convergence behavior when increasing the group size. Thanks for your advice. I changed the group size for the pressure. Do you think I could expect further improvments when changing the group size on the momentum? Does the group size affect the memory requirement?
I'm not sure whether increasing the group will directly affect the memory requirement.
Multigrid methods take advantage of the ability of coarser grids to damp transients more quickly. Without knowing more about your simulation its tough to say how the momentum performance may change. I guess its worth a try, right?
By pressure do you mean continuity( mass convergence)?
If yes then there are lots of other factors that affect it. The heavy impact comes from skew or non-orthogonality. If possible improve the mesh.

The failings of the old system were manifestations of its conservative nature. If the task at hand was to foster understanding between different peoples, then the continued reliance on diplomats selected not on the basis of merit, but rather on status at birth, tended to skew that understanding and produce undesirable results. Even as the issues confronting diplomats became increasingly complex and specialized, their training, either formal, or, as was more often the case, informal, did not keep pace.

PIERRE — Agriculture landowners in South Dakota would be eligible for a 40 percent reduction in their property taxes on buffer strips along lakes, rivers and streams under a measure debated Monday in the state Senate. However Senate Republican leader Blake Curd, of Sioux Falls, had debate suspended until Wednesday to consider an amendment about how frequently landowners should have to file for the tax break. Gov. Dennis Daugaard offered the legislation. Daugaard vetoed the same concept in legislation brought last year by then-Sen. Jim Peterson, D-Revillo.
PIERRE — A state law that requires the state Department of Corrections to report complaints about treatment of juveniles should be expanded to cover private facilities used by the department, the state Senate decided Monday. The legislation calls for the department to compile confidential reports of all allegations of abuse and neglect and file twice per year to the Legislature's Government Operations and Audit Committee. "This is just putting into code, while we're talking about juvenile corrections, a current practice," Sen. Deb Peters, R-Hartford, said.
PIERRE — For home-school students wanting to participate in extracurricular activities in the local school, the decision should remain with the local school district, a South Dakota legislative panel decided Monday. The House Education Committee voted 10-5 to reject legislation that would have greatly broadened the ability of home-school student to play sports or take part in music, debate or other competitive school events.
PIERRE — The latest numbers show $58.6 million more is needed to build the new animal disease research diagnostic laboratory at South Dakota State University. The governor's proposal calls for $46.2 million to come from the agriculture sector. He would issue bonds and repay them over 25 years. The payments would be about $3 million annually, collected through higher fees on feed, veterinary inspections, animal remedies, poultry health products and raw milk. The Senate Appropriations Committee introduced the legislation Thursday on behalf of Gov. Dennis Daugaard.
PIERRE — State senators unanimously decided Friday to require that the name and telephone number of an organization fighting to end sex trafficking be given in writing to any woman seeking an abortion in South Dakota. The state Department of Health would prepare and provide the notice. It would state: "If someone is sexually abusing you or causing you to exchange sex for something of value, and you want help, call 911, or the telephone number provided on this notice."
PIERRE — The Legislature is one round of voting away from updating state laws regarding South Dakota's victim-notification system. State Attorney General Marty Jackley told the House Judiciary Committee on Friday that SB 26 would streamline the process for victims registering to receive messages about offenders. The system is known as SAVIN. That's short for statewide automated victim information and notification.
PIERRE — Funeral homes shouldn't be allowed to be at the head of the line for payment from deceased persons who have little money or items of value, a panel in the South Dakota Legislature decided Friday. The House Judiciary Committee voted 10-1 to kill HB 1102 even though it could have saved money for taxpayers in some cases. Funeral homes can seek payment for services from the county government if the deceased person was indigent.
PIERRE — Inhibiting the repossession of a vehicle would become a criminal act of theft in South Dakota under a proposal endorsed Friday by a state House of Representatives committee. Rep. David Lust, R-Rapid City, is prime sponsor of HB 1096. It now goes to the full House for consideration. Brian Busch, manager for Anytime Auto Sales in Rapid City, testified by telephone during the hearing by the House Judiciary Committee. Busch recounted instances of people making down payments and never making another payment.
PIERRE — State senators gave final legislative approval Thursday to helping the South Dakota Retirement System stay in financial balance. The savings would save in excess of $1.5 billion during the coming decades, according to estimates that SDRS officials provided to legislators. The three measures now head to Gov. Dennis Daugaard, who is expected to sign them into law. SDRS covers employees of state government and many school districts, cities and counties, as well as various special units of government throughout South Dakota.
PIERRE — Ten years after the Legislature authorized education service agencies to help local school districts throughout South Dakota, the state Department of Education is asking the Legislature to repeal those laws. The department received the Senate Education Committee's endorsement Thursday. The legislation, HB 1022, could receive final approval as early as today from the full House of Representatives. The House has already passed it 64-2.

Today's "Plant of the Day" is one the most notorious plants at all. I'm speaking of Heracleum mantegazzianum Somm. Et Lev. from the Apicaceae family. In Germany, this species is known as "Bärenklau" or "Herkulesstaude", while English names are "giant hogweed", "wild parsnip" or "giant cow parsley". In older literature, this plant is still known as Heracleum giganteum.
H. mantegazzianum - habitus
It's a large perennial plant, which can reach heights between 2 and 3,5 metres (6.6 to 11.5 feet). The hollow stalk grows very fast and H. mantegazzium can reach these heights within a few weeks after sprouting. The stalk is very strong with up to 10 centimetres in diameter at the base. It's very hairy and also speckled purple.
H. mantegazzianum - stalk
The leaves are pinnate with 3 to 5 digitate "leaflets". As the rest of this plant, they have an impressive size with up to 1 metre. Their sheaths are also very conspicuous and remain as a leathery structure at the leaf base.
H. mantegazzianum - leaflet
The inflorescences are umbels. These umbels can have up to 50 centimetres in diameter and can consists of 30 to 150 small flowers (you see, it's a very imposing plant). The flowers in the periphery of an umbel are normally larger than the flowers in the centre. Each flower has five white petals, which are indented a little bit. Flowering time is between June and September. The ripe fruits are shizocarp, what is typical for the Apiaceae. They are disk-shaped and their edge rips are bristly.
H. mantegazzianum - umbel
H. mantegazzianum is native to the Caucasian, but was brought as ornamental plant to Middle Europe in 1900. Later, it starts to grow wild and spread out along roads and rivers. So today, you can found this species e. g. on ruderal wastelands, at roadsides or in river valleys. It's very undemanding towards the soil but likes nutrient-rich, not so acid places.
H. mantegazzianum - sheaths
As fast growing neophyte, H. mantegazzianum could be a great threat for native biodiversity, because it has the ability to overgrow places and to displace other species quickly. However, H. mantegazzianum is not such a large problem like e. g. Fallopia japonica (Japanese knotweed) or Robinia pseudoacacia (Black Locust). Regular mowing is a good way to fight large stocks of this species.
H. mantegazzianum - stalk with hairs
However, in popular culture, H. mantegazzianum is one of the most feared plants. The reason for its bad reputation are the ingredients of the plant.
All parts of H. mantegazzianum contain a phototoxic liquid, which is dispensed by the hairs. This liquid reacts with UV radiation, what triggers a chemical reaction, which can caused serious burns. So, it's not a good idea to touch this plant with bare hands. To avoid contact with the skin, people should always wear protective clothing, if they want to remove plants.

Is it true that the word "the" does indeed occur about twice as often as the next common English word? The rest of the article seems to allow for some proportionality constants. AxelBoldt
It's not true, so I replaced it with a statement about Shakespeare's plays. AxelBoldt
random typing[edit]
The main article claimed that
- the frequency distribution of words generated by random typing follows Zipf's law.
I doubt that very much. For one thing, if you type randomly, all words of length one will be equally likely, all words of length 2 will be equally likely and so on. Or am I missing something? Maybe we should perform a little perl experiment. AxelBoldt
I tried this Python code, and plotted the results in a log-log plot -- the early ranks are a bit stepped, but the overall pattern fits Zipf's law rather well. The Anome
import random
import string
import math
words = {}
for j in range(M):
str = []
for i in range(N):
str.append(random.choice('aaabccdefg '))
str = string.join(str, '')
str = string.split(str)
for word in str:
if words.has_key(word):
words[word] += 1
words[word] = 1
print 'did string pass', j
vals = words.values()
file = open('zipf_ranks.txt', 'w')
# Let's just have the first few ranks
useranks = min(1000, len(vals))
for i in range(useranks):
rank = i+1
file.write("%d %d\n" % (rank, vals[rank-1]))
Could you repeat the experiment with all letters and the space getting the same probability? That's at least what I thought off when I heard "random typing". AxelBoldt
- When I was told of the "random typing" experiment, the "typing" part was more important than "random". If you sit at a keyboard and randomly type, you have a much higher chance of hitting certain keys than others because your fingers tend to like certain positions. Also, the human brain is a pattern-matching machine, so it works in patters. If you look at what you type, you might notice you tend to type the same sequences of letters over and over and over.
- For a brief historical note, this theory was used in cracking the one-time-pad cyphers. Humans typed the pads, so it was possible to guess at the probability of future cyphers by knowing past ones. It is like playing the lottery knowing that a 6 has a 80% chance of being the first number while a 2 has a 5% chance. If you knew the percentage chance for each number and each position, you have a much greater chance of winning over time. Kainaw 13:59, 24 Sep 2004 (UTC)
I can't right now, but I'll give you the reason for the skewed probabilities -- the space is by far the most common character in English, and other chars have different probabilities -- I wanted to model that. The Anome
The main article claimed that
- the frequency distribution of words generated by random typing follows Zipf's law.
I doubt that very much. For one thing, if you type randomly, all words of length one will be equally likely, all words of length 2 will be equally likely and so on. Or am I missing something?
Yes, you're missing something.
It doesn't *exactly* match Zipf's law. But then, no real measurement exactly matches Zipf's law -- there's always "measurement noise". It does come pretty close. In most English text, about 1/5 of all the characters are space characters. If we randomly type the space and 4 other letters (with equal letter frequencies), then we expect words to have one of these discrete probabilities:
1/4*1/5: each of the 4 single-letter words 1/4*1/4*1/5: each of the 4*4 two-letter words 1/4*1/4*1/4*1/5: each of the 4*4*4 three-letter words. ... (1/5)*(1/4)^n: each of the 4^n n-letter words.
This is a stair-step graph, as you pointed out. However, if we plot it on a log-log graph, we get
x = log( 4^n / 2 ) = n * log(4) - log(2). y = log( 1/5 * (1/4)^n ) = -n*log(4) - log(5).
which is pretty close to a straight line (and therefore a Zipf distribution), with slope
m = Δy / Δx = -1.
You get the same stair-step on top of a straight line no matter how many letters (plus space) you use, with equal letter frequencies. If the letter frequencies are unequal (but still memoryless), I think that rounds off the corners and makes things even closer to a Zipf distribution. --DavidCary 01:54, 12 Feb 2005 (UTC)
The problem here seems to be arising from the ambiguarity of the phrase "random typing".To avoid this I'll replace the phrase with "random sampling of a text". Jekyll
It's already gone, never mind. Jekyll 14:45, 18 November 2005 (UTC)
- this is a pretty minor example of Zipf's law. A much more important one is that the frequency of occurrence of words in natural language conform to Zipf's law. This is in the original 1949 reference. Callivert (talk) 11:29, 24 March 2008 (UTC)
Why ?[edit]
Moved from main article:
- We need an explanation here: why do these distributions follow Zipf's law?
- No we don't. Zipf's law is empirical, not theoretical. We don't know why it works. But even without a theory, even the simplest experiments that try to model a society of independent actors consistently turn it up!--BJT
Well, empirical facts have to be explained too. It's not enough to simply state that the moon always shows us the same side; you have to give the reason if you try to understand the world. It's the same here. If Zipfian distributions show up in a variety of situations, then there must be some underlying principle which generates them. I doubt very much that "we don't know" that principle. AxelBoldt
- I agree - every theory begins with empirical evidence. The theory models an explanation to fit those facts. I'm sure someone has tried to come up with an explanation? 184.108.40.206
- We need an explanation here: why do these distributions follow Zipf's law?
An excellent question. However, I doubt there is a single cause that can explain every occurance of Zipf's law. (For some distributions, such as wealth distribution, the cause of the distribution is controversial).
Well, empirical facts have to be explained too. It's not enough to simply state that the moon always shows us the same side; you have to give the reason if you try to understand the world.
Good point. However, sometimes we don't yet know the cause of some empirical facts -- we can't yet give a good explanation. In those cases, I would prefer the Wikipedia article to bluntly tell me "we don't know yet" rather than try to dance around that fact.
While it is true that Zipf's law is empirical, I agree with AxelBoldt that it is useful to have an interpretation of it. The most obvious place to look is the book that Zipf himself wrote in which he linked his observation to the Principle of Least-Effort, kind of an application of Conservation of Energy to human behavior.
I've just measured Polish Wikipedia page access distribution using Apache logs (so they had to be heavily Perlscripted) for about 2 weeks of late July, only for main namespace articles, and excluding Main Page. In most part it seems to be following Zipf's law with b about 0.5, except at both ends, where it behaves a bit weird (what was to be expected). Now why did I get constant so grossly different from stated constant for English Wikipedia ?
Some possibilities:
- Polish and English Wikipedias really have different Zipf's factors
- It was due to my perlscripting
- Measurment given for English Wikipedia here is wrong for some reason, like measuring only top 100, and not all articles.
Taw 01:38, 4 Aug 2003 (UTC)
I think we may be fast approaching the point when merging this article with Zipf-Mandelbrot law would be appropriating, along the way doing some reorganizing of the article. Michael Hardy 22:57, 6 Dec 2003 (UTC)
Although the reason is not well-understood, mechanisms that bring about the Zipf distribution have been suggested by physicists. Power laws tend to crop up in systems where the entities (words in this case) are not independent, but interact locally. The choice of a word isn't random, neither does it follow a mechanistic prescription - the choice of a word depends strongly on what other words have already been chosen in the same sentence/paragraph. I think these speculations should be mentioned in the article as a side note, for the sake of completeness. 220.127.116.11 12:45, 17 October 2005 (UTC)
It is meaningful to ask why in general a particular distribution is found in nature - the passage above is a good start; I'd like more clarification - for example, the normal distribution arises when their the outcome is caused by a large number of minor factors where no particular factor predominates. The bimodal distribution arises when their are a large number of minor factors coupled with one predominant factor. The Poisson distribution arises when an event is the consequence of a large number of rare events converging. Etc. For Zipf's distribution, I would like to know, why does interdependence of events lead to it?
Another interesting example of Zipf's law is the distribution of 25,000,000 organic compounds among the possible shapes that the ring structures can take (download PDF or HTML). Half of all the compounds have just 143 shapes (out of more nearly 850,000 shapes). The authors refer to a "rich-get-richer" reason: When we are speaking or writing, the probability that we will use a particular word is proportional to the number of times that we have already used it. The particular reason for organic chemistry is that is quicker and cheaper to synthesize new compounds if you can buy the "parts" commercially, or if syntheses for the "parts" have already been published; thus the most common shapes tend to be used more.
In these word-list examples we also have to do with a fundamental fact of linguistics: Every language has a few dozen "structural" words, mostly articles, conjunctions, and prepositions, which have to be used to achieve proper syntax (note the three most popular words in English). This can skew the distribution of the most popular words.
This would also apply to populations of cities. A large city has many opportunities for work and leisure, so it will attract new inhabitants and keep its current ones. On the whole, one would expect that the probability that new inhabitants will come would be, very roughly, proportional to the existing population.
So the reason seems to be that prior use encourages further use. Almost banal.

Consistency of variables in text[edit]
In the examples section, the variable quoted in each case is b. However, this variable is not used anywhere else. Some consistency throughout the article would be nice (and less confusing!). — 188.8.131.52 17:01, 1 Jun 2004 (UTC)
- I agree - please explain what is b ? \Mikez 10:00, 8 Jun 2004 (UTC)
- I was about to add something about this as well... is it what is called s in the discussion of formulas? It's not clear from the text. -- pne 14:01, 8 Jun 2004 (UTC)
- Well, Ive seen Zipf's Law stated as So Im pretty sure that s and b are the same thing. Im changing b to s in the "Examples..." section. -- Aparajit 06:01, Jun 24, 2004 (UTC)
- Can someone check the values of b / s given in the examples? Especially the word frequency example. I took the data for word frequencies in Hamlet, and fitted a line to the log-log plot. This gave a slope of more like 1.1, rather than the 0.5 figure quoted here. Taking the merged frequencies over the complete set of plays gives a value which gets towards 1.3. This would agree more with the origin of Zipf's law, which is that the frequency of the i'th word in a written text is proportional to 1/i. The value of 0.5 seems much too small to match this observation. Graham.
Linked site doesn't exist[edit]
It seems to me that the special page of the [popular pages] no longer exists, but it's used for an example in this page.
Has this page simply moved or do we need to get a new example?
reported constants in Examples section[edit]
the examples section reports values of s < 1 as resulting from analysis of wikipedia page view data. the earlier discussion correctly notes that such values do not yield a valid probability distribution. what gives? perhaps (s - 1) is being reported?
- Or it could be that that value of s is right for a moderately large (hundreds?) finite number of pages. That seems to happen with some usenet posting statistics. Michael Hardy 22:07, 28 Jun 2004 (UTC)
I miss reference to Zipf's (other) law: the principle of least effort.
s = 1?[edit]
I plotted Shakespeare's word frequency lists and top 5000 words in Wikipedia: [1] Where did the old value of s~0.5 come from? -- Nichtich 00:27, 23 Jun 2005 (UTC)
Sources needed for examples[edit]
Section 3 ("Examples of collections approximately obeying Zipf's law") has a bunch of examples with no further explanation or reference (Shakespeare excluded). That's highly undesirable, so let's get some sources. By the way, I find the final point (notes in a musical performance) very questionable. I imagine it would depend very much on the type of music. EldKatt (Talk) 13:20, 19 July 2005 (UTC)
- It might not be a bad idea to give examples from Zipf's book. Also see the article by Richard Perline in the February 2005 issue of Statistical Science. Michael Hardy 22:28, 19 July 2005 (UTC)
Too technical?[edit]
Rd232 added the "technical" template to the article. I've moved it here per template. Paul August ☎ 03:49, 27 November 2005 (UTC)
- There have been numerous edits to the article since the template was first added almost a year ago. Also, there has been no discussion of what about the article is too technical so I've removed the template. Feel free to put it back, but if you do, please leave some comments as to what you find is too technical and some suggestions as to how to improve the article. Lunch 02:25, 21 November 2006 (UTC)
Does Wikipedia traffic obey Zipf's law?[edit]
Yes, apparently, with an exponent of 0.5. See Wikipedia:Does Wikipedia traffic obey Zipf's law? for more. -- The Anome 22:45, 20 September 2006 (UTC)
Wikipedia's Zipf law[edit]
Just a plot of English Wikipedia word frequencies: http://oc-co.org/?p=79
- Is this plot availiable to Wikipedia - i.e. Free content? It would look good in the article.
- Yes, it is released under LGPL by me, the author :) -- Victor Grishchenko
- I downloaded it, tagged it as LGPL with you as author, and put it into the article - please check it out and make corrections if needed. This is an excellent demonstration of Zipf's law (and its limitations). Thanks! PAR 15:00, 29 November 2006 (UTC)
This article has 107 "the" and 68 "of" last time i checked.
—Preceding unsigned comment added by 126.96.36.199 (talk) 13:35, 5 October 2009 (UTC)
Now this is interesting. It is, however, not a true power law, as Grishchenko shows quite clearly by superposing blue and green lines. That is, English Wikipedia is not an example of Zipf's law. The tail (the lower righthand part of the curve) is not typical of power laws.
The first part of the plot, for the 8000 or so most common words, does follow a power law, with exponent slightly greater than 1, just as we would expect from Zipf's Law. The rest of the plot, for another million different words in English Wikipedia, follows a power law with exponent approximately 2; this part has the tail that we look for in power laws.
My guess is that in writing encyclopedia articles, one must select from the 8000 most common words just to create readable prose. Hence the log-log plot with slope ~1.
An encyclopedia, by its nature, is also going to contain hundreds of thousands of technical terms and proper names, which will be used infrequently in the encyclopedia as a whole. Hence the log-log plot with a steeper slope. Why should this slope be ~2? Does anyone know?
Does Zipf's law apply to individual Wikipedia articles? Do other encyclopedias behave the same?
--Solo Owl (talk) 17:59, 7 September 2008 (UTC)
- It's a general principle that words drop off more quickly than Zipf's law predicts. If we looked at word n-grams I think we would see something closer. Dcoetzee 21:27, 31 October 2008 (UTC)

On "Zipf, Power-laws, and Pareto - a ranking tutorial"[edit]
I've found two doubtful places in the tutorial by L.Adamic (ext. link N3). Probably, I've misread something...
First, "(a = 1.17)" regarding to Fig.1b must be a typo; the slope is clearly -2 or so.
Second, it is not clear whether Fig.2a is a cumulative or disjoint histogram? To the best of my knowledge, logarithmically-disjointly-that-way-binned Zipf must have slope=-1 and not -2. I.e., if every bin catches items which popularity resides in the range . Just to verify it, I did a log2-log2 graph of log2-binned word frequencies compiled from Wikipedia. I.e. y is log2 of number of words mentioned to times in the whole Wikipedia. Although the curve is not that simple, it shows slope=-1, especially in regard to more frequent words.
Any thoughts? Gritzko
- Yes it looks like a typo, a=1.17 certainly is not right. Regarding Fig 2a, it is cumulative (the vertical axis is "proportion of sites" which will have an itercept at (1,1)). The Zipf law does not specify an exponent of -1, just that it is some negative constant. It happens to be close to -1 for word frequency, but maybe its closer to -2 for aol user data. PAR 14:20, 1 January 2007 (UTC)
- "As demonstrated with the AOL data, in the case b = 1, the power-law exponent a = 2.", i.e. b is "close to unity" in the case of AOL user data. I had some doubts whether Fig 2a is cumulative because at x=1 y seems to be slightly less than 1. Probably, it is just a rendering glitch. Thanks! -- Gritzko
k = 0 in support?[edit]
I'm not sure if k=0 should be included in the support... pmf is not well defined there, as 1 / (k^s) = 1 / 0 and it -> +inf. Krzkrz 08:56, 3 May 2007 (UTC)
biographical information[edit]
I was surprised that there wasn't even a brief note at the beginning of the article on who Zipf is (was?). I think it's sort of nice to see that before you get into the technical stuff. Jdrice8 05:38, 14 October 2007 (UTC)
- That was the brief second paragraph of the article. Now I've made it into a parenthesis in the first sentence, set off by commas. Michael Hardy 01:58, 15 October 2007 (UTC)
Word length[edit]
I'm sure I've come across in a no. of places the term Zipf's law used to refer to the inverse relation between word length & frequency. This may well be a misuse, but isn't it common enough to be mentioned with a link to whatever the correct term is? Peter jackson (talk) 14:43, 15 September 2008 (UTC)
Same here. I wish the page explained that up front, but I don't know enough to write it. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 126.96.36.199 (talk) 20:48, 14 July 2012 (UTC)
This page supposedly has a quote from Zipf: http://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1007%2F978-1-4020-4068-9_13.pdf
"that the magnitude of words tends, on the whole, to stand in an inverse (not necessarily proportionate) relationship to the number of occurrences" — Preceding unsigned comment added by 220.127.116.11 (talk) 19:43, 16 May 2013 (UTC)
The word-length sense of the term "Zipf's law" is commonly recognized in the psycholinguists and HCI communities. It would certainly not be difficult to find this usage in the literature of those fields. I don't see how this could be considered a "misuse". It should be handled as a separate sense of the term.
The lead must be rephrased: defining Zipf's law in terms of a Zipfian distribution is no help to the reader who must actually learn. Srnec (talk) 15:11, 31 October 2008 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 18.104.22.168 (talk) 21:28, 8 January 2009 (UTC)
- I was just coming by to say the same thing. The law itself should be defined in the lede; defining it in terms of something derived from it does no one any good. It's been three and a half years and no one's done anything about it? 188.8.131.52 (talk) 19:12, 1 June 2012 (UTC)
Nonsense? Err Nevermind[edit]
The article currently states the following:
- That Zipfian distributions arise in randomly-generated texts with no linguistic structure suggests that in linguistic contexts, the law may be a statistical artifact.[2]
I don't get it, this sounds like patent non-sense. When one generates a random text, one must choose works with some random frequency or distribution. What distribution is used? The result of random generation should show the same distribution as the random number generator: so if one generates random text using a Zipfian distribution, the result will be Zipfian. So this is a tautology. Surely something different is being implied in citation 2. However, this text, as written, is nonsense. linas (talk) 22:36, 14 March 2009 (UTC)
- Ah. The one sentence summary was misleading. I modified the article text so that is made sense. The "random text" is actually a random string, chosen from an alphabet of N letters, with one of the letters being a blank space. The blank space acts as a word separator, and the letter frequencies are uniformly distributed. linas (talk) 22:59, 14 March 2009 (UTC)
- As the text is now, it's still (or again?) nonsense. It claims that the Zipfian distribution is a consequence of using letters to spell words. Just a few sentences above, the article says that words in the corpus are in Zipfian distribution. This has nothing to do with how words are encoded, and the distribution would exist regardless of what, if anything, is used to represent them. 126.96.36.199 (talk) 16:07, 5 April 2009 (UTC)
Frequency of words in English[edit]
The article originally stated,
In English, the frequencies of the approximately 1000 most-frequently-used words are approximately proportional to where s is just slightly more than one.[citation needed]
This is misleading, not just because the citation is missing, but also because it seems to me that English word frequencies may well follow the maximum entropy principle: their distribution maximises the entropy under the constraint that the probabilities decrease. Zipfs law, for any , does not maximise the entropy, because it is possible to define distributions with probabilities that decrease even more slowly. For example, is a very slow one.
I therefore rewrote this bit somehwat. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 126.96.36.199 (talk) 09:52, 1 May 2009 (UTC)
I think there is an error in the example log-log graph of Wikipedia word frequency vs. rank. The two different lines of color cyan and blue cannot both represent 1/x^2, as they are labelled. I suspect that one is 1/x^3. Whoever has access to the code that generated the graph, please fix it!!!
—Preceding unsigned comment added by 126.96.36.199 (talk) 04:45, 8 January 2010 (UTC)
- I agree the cyan plot is wrong but I don't think it can be 1/x3 since it nas the same slope as 1/x2. It is more like 10110/x2. I am going to ping the creator on this - it definitely needs fixing or removing. SpinningSpark 17:01, 4 June 2011 (UTC)
- Actually, all the guide plots are up the creek: they should all be going through the point (1,1). I suspect the author means rather than SpinningSpark 17:22, 4 June 2011 (UTC)
The section entitled "Statistical Explanation" is clearly nonsense. Equal probability for selecting each letter means that the top of the rank order will be 26 equally probable single letter words. "b" will not occur twice as often as "a". What is Wentian Li talking about??? Clearly it is not what is said here.

Although the Shannon-Weaver entropy is listed in the table here, I think it is of fundamentally more importance and instructional value to list the REDUNDANCY which, in Zipf's law (s=1) is CONSTANT (and slightly less than 3). Credit to Heinz von Foerster for deriving this from fundamental principles.

Dr. Ioannides's comment on this article[edit]
Dr. Ioannides has reviewed this Wikipedia page, and provided us with the following comments to improve its quality:
Entry ignores the massive literature in urban economics, which has received enormous popularity especially after Paul Krugman drew renewed attention to it, namely that city size are Pareto, and often close Zipf distributed, in many countries and historical periods. Thus, I think it would be very important and more useful if the entry made references to some representative studies. Here are two:
Gabaix, Xavier. "Zipf's Law for Cities: An Explanation." The Quarterly Journal of Economics, Vol. 114, No. 3 (Aug., 1999). And, more recently, Rossi-Hansberg, Esteban, and Mark L. J. Wright. Urban Structure and Growth April 2007, Review of Economic Studies, 74:2, 597-624 and Ioannides, Yannis M., and Spyros Skouras. "US City Size Distribution: Robustly Pareto, but Only in the Tail." Journal of Urban Economics, 73, No. 1 (January, 2013) 18–29.
We hope Wikipedians on this talk page can take advantage of these comments and improve the quality of the article accordingly.

Zipf distribution or Zipfian distribution?[edit]
Both the phrases "Zipf distribution" and "Zipfian distribution" seem interchangeable but which is preferred?
18.104.22.168 (talk) 09:39, 27 January 2017 (UTC)
Should it say signal, not symbol?[edit]
The bit about information theory in the Applications section seems like it makes more sense if the word 'symbol' is changed to 'signal.' I don't know anything about the topic, though so I don't want to change it myself.
- Word 'symbol' is generally used in information theory - I have added '(event, signal)'. 22.214.171.124 (talk) 09:26, 27 April 2017 (UTC)

Detroit Pistons guard Stanley Johnson has had no problem speaking his mind during his team's first-round play-off series against the Cleveland Cavaliers, but head coach Stan Van Gundy wants the rookie to ease up a bit.
After losing game two to the Cavaliers on Wednesday, Johnson said he was "definitely" in James' head.
But James went six-for-six from the floor against Johnson en route to 27 points.
"I had a talk with Stan today, and so I'll leave it at that," Van Gundy told a news conference on Thursday.
"I told him what I thought about his comments and everything. That's a discussion that we had today."
Van Gundy, who has made some controversial comments of his own regarding James in this series, admitted even he cringed when he first saw what Johnson said.
"Well, look, you do [cringe] a little bit," he said.
"But you also, you have to realise he's a 19-year-old kid going through this for the first time. You get him right after a game like that, and he's frustrated and all of that.
"We met, we talked. He knows how I feel, what my concerns are, but it wasn't an anger session. It wasn't a 'you're an a***hole type of thing.' It wasn't. It's just another learning experience for a 19-year-old kid."
Over the last few months, Johnson has made enemies with a couple of the game's biggest stars.
First it was Kevin Durant, when the Oklahoma City Thunder star said, "Who cares about Detroit?" when asked why he was resting during a game against the Pistons late in the season.
Now it's James, but Van Gundy does not think his rookie's comments will impact how the star plays in game three.
"No," Van Gundy said.
"Look, LeBron understands that it's about the game. I don't think a guy like him needs much more motivation. They're talking about trying to win a championship. That's a lot more motivating than something a rookie might have said."

Mi Pueblo Food Center

|Juvenal Chavez

Mi Pueblo is a Northern California neighborhood grocery based in San Jose, California.[1] Mi Pueblo has a total of 15 store locations throughout the San Francisco Bay Area, Central Valley and Monterey Bay Peninsula. Mi Pueblo was established in 1991.[2] It attempts to emulate the fresh-food markets of Mexico and Latin America while also carrying all the grocery items generally available in mainstream supermarkets.[3]
History and founder[edit]
Juvenal Chavez is founder and the Chairman of the Board of Mi Pueblo. Chavez emigrated from Mexico in 1984 and spoke no English at the time, taking odd jobs while attending night school to learn English. At one point he worked as a janitor at Stanford University.[4] and in 1986, he went into business with his brother running Chavez Meat Market.[5] In 1991, deciding to go off on his own, he purchased Country Time Meats in San Jose, California, starting his mercantile chain. Chavez opened his first business in the Bay Area because he found that the Hispanic population was very under-served and needed to purchase food easily without being impeded by their lack of knowledge in the English language. He started with the meat business because it was the most obvious opportunity. Over time he expanded into produce, bakery and deli, then grocery.[2] Now Mi Pueblo is a $300 million business, with 19 stores opened and significant growth on the horizon.[4]
In June 2014, Mi Pueblo announced its emergence from Chapter 11 bankruptcy after receiving $56 million in financing from Chicago- based investment firm Victory Park Capital (VPC). With this announcement came the appointment of Javier Ramirez as President and Chief Executive Officer of Mi Pueblo.[6]
Ramirez was also joined by Martin Cortes as Chief Financial Officer and Jose Aguayo as Vice President of Human Resources to help stabilize the company from a financial and staffing standpoint.
Departments, products & services[edit]
Mi Pueblo has seven different departments in the store. The first department is the meat department, offering a wide variety of Latin American styled marinated meats, entrails, poultry and seafood - along with a full-service butcher staff.[2] The next department is the produce department.[5] The third department is the bakery, featuring items such as bolillos, tres leches cake and pan dulce. The Tortilleria, one of the most popular departments, prepares warm, fresh tortillas on a daily basis. The Hot Deli department offers a diverse selection of dishes from Mexico and Latin America. The seafood department offers a wide variety of fish, shrimp and freshly prepared dishes.
The full-service grocery department features over 17,000 imported products as well as mainstream and national brand labels. In October 2014, Mi Pueblo started offering a full range of Western Union services throughout all its stores in the Bay Area, Monterey Peninsula and Central Valley[7] to enhance existing customer needs such as check cashing, utility payments, money transfers and money orders. Tickets to local events are also available at Mi Pueblo.
Controversy over immigration checks[edit]
In September 2012, Mi Pueblo was criticized by labor organizations for enrolling in E-verify, a Department of Homeland Security program which screens employees for irregularities in their immigration status. As an owner, Juvenal Chavez was accused of hypocrisy, since he started out in business as an illegal immigrant. A spokesperson for the business said that Chavez supported fixing the "broken" immigration system.[8]
On July 22, 2013, Mi Pueblo filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy citing difficulties with Wells Fargo Bank, their primary lender.[9] Less than a full year later on June 4, 2014, Mi Pueblo made the official announcement that they formally emerged from Chapter 11 reorganization after having completed a necessary financial restructuring. Part of their newly adopted shared new leadership changes with Javier Ramirez being appointed to the position of President and CEO. Ramirez will succeed Mi Pueblo founder Juvenal Chavez, who will be named Chairman of the Board.Ramirez is a seasoned CEO in the Hispanic food and grocery sector.
Community involvement[edit]
In 2011 Mi Pueblo launched a scholarship program to "help students prepare for a brighter future". In 2014, Mi Pueblo in collaboration with Mexican Heritage Corporation, raised over $100,000 to provide adequate legal representation to unaccompanied minors at the U.S border through its month- long campaign Unidos por los Niños. The campaign surpassed the company's goal thanks to local supporters and the community.[10]

And readers who want to discover more through the sources themselves are given all the guidance they need.

EXCLUSIVE: You cannot suspend me, NHIS boss tells Nigeria's Health Minister
NEWISSUES, Abuja
Professor Usman Yusuf, the suspended NHIS boss over allegations of corruption, has told the media that he would not accept the suspension letter from the Minister of Health, Isaac Adewole.
In his letter dated July 12 on the official letterhead of the NHIS, Mr. Yusuf said he would not comply with the July 6 suspension order.
He acknowledged receiving the letter directing he proceeds on a three months suspension, but gave five reasons why he would not comply with the suspension.
Mr. Yusuf, 54, took over the state-run health insurance provider on July 29, 2016.
But his reign at the health ministry parastatal has been fraught with allegations of fraud.
The suspension came weeks after the Senate launched investigations into his activities as the NHIS chief.
The lawmakers accused Mr. Yusuf of "corrupt expenditure of N292 million" which he allegedly spent on health care training "without recourse to any appropriate approving authority."
On Wednesday, the House of Representatives asked the health minister to recall Mr. Yusuf.
Mr. Adewole had ordered the suspension to allow for unhindered investigation of the corruption allegations.

Autumn Wedding – White Hart
The venue for Hayley and Jo's autumn same-sex wedding was the magnificent barn at the White Hart in Great Yeldham. I love photographing barn weddings because of the rich colours, high ceilings and the rustic feel to the day. Although there was a sprinkling if rain in the air, the times we were all outside for the photographs the weather was dry.
There were plenty of personal touches with the decorations and the table settings to create their own unique wedding. The girls were brilliant fun to work with and all the guests were on great form and everyone had a wonderful day.

text: Don Posted December 19, 2016 Hello all, I have a question regarding the ERA blocks on the Russian T-90 (but I suppose it would also apply to the T-80, T-72, T-62 etc with ERA added). Are the blocks in standard/fixed locations around the tank (specifically the turret) or can they be located in different areas? I can't find good clear and up close pictures of the top of multiple T-90's to compare, but it seems as though from distance pictures that the turret block locations differ slightly from tank to tank. Some seem to show a block located in an area on one tank's turret that are not located in the same area on another. So, within reason, would it be accurate to omit a block or two? Thanks all! Cheers!

In the last five years, frames for independent development have diminished.
Venue and indie company closures such as TAP, B Sharp and Rock Surfers sit alongside reduced capacity as a result of funding cuts in the small to medium sector. In the wake of this, the work of Red Line is absolutely necessary, ensuring that Australia's independent creative ecology remains distinct and resilient.
Red Line Productions exists to build the best new contemporary theatre and performance practice, building a rigorous community of practice among artists both emerging and established who are afforded a platform for career development in a safe and relatively risk-free financial environment.

Oh, that was lovely. Yes, they are not Whyborne and Griffin, but I think we'll get there. And that haunted house was wonderful creepy- and it was fairly thrilling in the end. Noteworthy start of a series. And I just saw that there will be a #2 - probably this year. Together with Hoarfrost coming that's awesome news, isn't it? :D
