The 2 Pakistani's were made to sit for hours and then told that Mr. Tata cannot meet anyone without an appointment and is on a busy schedule. These 2 Pakistanis then went to the New Delhi High Commission and met a minister. This minister then called up Ratan Tata, requesting him to meet these industrialists from Pakistan and asking him to consider their tender. Ratan Tata replied, "You could be shameless, I am not".

text: (Bloomberg) -- Lowflation drove global markets to dizzying highs this year. Inflation could drive them off a cliff..The risk for 2018 is that consumer price growth stages a comeback, roiling investor portfolios and corporate profits, according to investors and strategists. The consequent return of higher real interest rates would imperil bullish market psychology more than you might think.."A significant inflation shock would be just about the worst thing that could happen to today's investment portfolios," Ben Inker, head of asset allocation at Boston-based Grantham Mayo Van Otterloo & Co., wrote in a Dec. 15 letter to clients. "Unlike most of history, it seems plausible that a meaningful inflation increase from here would impose worse losses on portfolios than a depression.".A tighter labor market, easy financial conditions and a strong global backdrop are giving U.S. monetary policy makers confidence that core consumer prices will return to target next year. The market-implied annual inflation rate for the next decade rose to 1.95 percent this week, the highest since April, while global bonds slumped, spooked in part by hawkish monetary messages and the U.S. tax plan..With $8.5 trillion of bonds already yielding less than zero percent, higher inflation would inflict big losses on the real value of bond portfolios, and undercut stock valuations, according to Inker..A "moderate" inflation problem spurring real cash rates to 2 percent would impose higher losses on traditional "60/40" equity/bond portfolios than a depression, he calculated, after analyzing corporate cash flows and bond yields over similar stretches in the past..Higher inflation, in the absence of productivity gains, would therefore be a market game-changer in 2018..While there has been some growth in price levels this year, it has been more evident in the business sector. Corporate pricing power has grown faster than consumer price inflation, and this has sparked a "disinflationary boom" for America Inc., according to Jefferies Group LLC.."Companies (capital holders) continue to be the major beneficiaries of disinflation with labor (stakeholders) still unable to capture their share of profits," its strategists led by Sean Darby wrote in a report this month. In addition, muted wage gains -– and limited investment outlays -– have propelled U.S. corporate profits-to-GDP close to record highs..In a world of improving labor markets, a lack of wage pressure allows the business cycle to run longer than expected without overheating.."If you are extending the horizon of business cycle like this –- via low inflation and muted units costs -- then in investors' minds, they are thinking that a recession will happen maybe once every 10 years, as opposed to seven," according to Steven Englander, head of Rafiki Capital Management LLC and former chief currency strategist at Citigroup Inc. "That reduces the prospect of market volatility.".The likelihood therefore that the old economic rules still hold -- with a "normal" business cycle coming to an end as the Federal Reserve materially tightens policy –- would be a death sentence for asset valuations across stocks, bonds and credit that, on one measure, are at the highest since 1900..This makes inflation key to determining the market outlook in 2018, according to Englander.."The best precursor to signal the business cycle is ending is increased input prices," he said..--With assistance from Cormac Mullen and Shobhana Chandra .To contact the reporter on this story: Sid Verma in London at email@example.com. .To contact the editors responsible for this story: Samuel Potter at email@example.com, Cormac Mullen, Joanna Ossinger .©2017 Bloomberg L.P.

[I]n Bavaria, the Jurassic-aged limestone deposits yielded a near-perfect fossil of Archaeopteryx. It had blade-like serrated teeth and many other features across the skeleton and skull that showed it was a carnivorous dinosaur. But the crow-sized specimen was covered in the impressions of bird-like feathers. For [Thomas] Huxley, this was the transitional form he was seeking: a dinosaur on its way to becoming a bird.
[I]t was feathers that provided the final incontrovertible evidence that birds evolved from dinosaurs.
Since then, a spectacular array of small, feathered dinosaurs have been recovered from Liaoning and a few other sites around the world, which plot every conceivable evolutionary step from small fuzz-covered, meat-eating theropods through to fully feathered and winged birds.
Beginning as simple downy filaments, they had probably originated to keep theropods warm – evidence supporting the theory that at least some dinosaurs were 'warm-blooded'. They may also have served as ornaments. Festooned with arm feathers, smaller theropods' plumage would have given them a degree of lift to chase flying insects.
This set of features – small with lightweight bones, rotated shoulder sockets with a furcula, turbocharged breathing systems and feathers – developed in theropods long before they took to the air and set the scene for protobirds.

In rDNS We Trust: Revisiting a Common Data-Source's Reliability
PublicationProceedings of the 19th Passive and Active Measurement (PAM),
Reverse DNS (rDNS) is regularly used as a data source in Internet measurement research. However, existing work is polarized on its reliability, and new techniques to collect active IPv6 datasets have not yet been sufficiently evaluated. In this paper, we investigate active and passive data collection and practical use aspects of rDNS datasets. We observe that the share of non-authoritatively answerable IPv4 rDNS queries reduced since earlier studies and IPv6 rDNS has less non-authoritatively answerable queries than IPv4 rDNS. Furthermore, we compare passively collected datasets with actively collected ones, and we show that they enable observing the same effects in rDNS data. While highlighting opportunities for future research, we find no immediate challenges to the use of rDNS as active and passive data-source for Internet measurement research.

METALLICA: ROCK AM RING Festival Performance To Be Streamed Online
METALLICA's June 2 performance at the Rock Am Ring festival in Nürburgring, Germany will be streamed live at OrionMusicAndMore.com. Tune in on Saturday around 9 p.m. local time (3 p.m. EST, 2 p.m. CST and noon PST) to watch the concert in its entirety.
METALLICA recently announced that it will play at Rogers Arena in Vancouver, British Columbia on August 24, adding that the concert will be filmed in 3D for the band's upcoming 3D feature film project. A post at the band's official web site said, "We couldn't think of a better place than Vancouver to end our three-week new stage run with cameras capturing it all, so bring your nuttiest, craziest Metalli-self to the show, be a part of movie history, and show the rest of the world how much Vancouver rocks."
The post added that the late summer run of shows "are indeed the last dates that we are announcing for summer of 2012."
The run, which includes eight shows in Mexico City, will unveil a new 140-foot-by-50-foot stage that will feature "colossal components and striking visual elements spanning METALLICA's entire 30-year career."
The METALLICA movie, which was first announced last year, will be directed by Nimród Antal, perhaps best known for the horror movie "Vacancy" and the 2010 "Predator" sequel "Predators".
The film will be some sort of combination of concert footage and storyline, and is tentatively scheduled to arrive in theatres in the summer of 2013.

"Come over, I have some clothes I want you to try on," wrote Angela by e-mail this afternoon. I wasted no time in popping over to her house. "Some clothes" turned out to be pretty much a complete work wardrobe! Plus some simply lovely jewelry that she and her daughter Amy made themselves! I'm serious! Angela blessed me with some gorgeous, quality clothes. And they FIT ME.
She commented that she had held onto the clothes for reasons she did not know, but now she could see why: It was so that she could bless me with them. And I need them. My work wardrobe is 20 years and about 40 pounds out of date.

VANCOUVER, BC – Westport Innovations Inc. (TSX:WPT), a global leader in alternative fuel, low-emissions transportation technologies, today announced it has been awarded US$2.25 million in funding from the South Coast Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD), the California Energy Commission (CEC) and the Ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach.
The funding will support the development, demonstration, commercialization and certification of Westport's heavy-duty LNG (liquefied natural gas) fuel system for the Cummins ISX to meet the U.S. EPA 2010 NOx (0.2 g/bhp-hr NOx) emissions standard prior to 2010.
"Working with the South Coast Air Quality Management District, the California Energy Commission and the Ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach, Westport is proud to be paving the way in helping our customers meet the highest emissions standards in the world today," stated Michael Gallagher, President and Chief Operating Officer of Westport.
"In order to meet our clean air goals here in Southern California, we need to accelerate the deployment of clean-fueled heavy-duty vehicles. This investment in Westport's clean vehicle technology is an important step in making this goal a reality," said Barry Wallerstein, SCAQMD Executive Officer.

Westport's liquefied natural gas system for heavy-duty trucks offers class-leading emissions, including lower greenhouse gas emissions than comparable diesel engines, and allows trucking fleets to move to lower-cost, domestically available natural gas and/or biogas. Based on the industry-leading Cummins ISX diesel engine with cooled EGR, the LNG version of the engine offers the same horsepower, torque, and efficiency as the base diesel engine rating it is replacing. The Westport LNG system is currently certified by CARB and the US EPA to 0.8g/bhp-hr oxides of nitrogen (NOx) and 0.01g/bhp-hr Particulate Matter (PM).
Currently offered in the Kenworth T-800 and available for delivery, the 2007 Westport LNG system is available with 400 and 450 horsepower ratings and up to 1,750 lb-ft torque for heavy-duty port, goods distribution and other commercial truck applications. LNG fuel tanks can be configured to suit customer range requirements.

Dog has received awards at a number of film festivals all over the world for the past two years, and is praised as one of the best short films made recently. Puppet animations have been considered to be defective in expressing psychology, however, this film has succeeded in fully expressing various emotions. The facial expressions of the little boy and his father deliver enormous sadness that cannot be put into words: this may be the result of the efforts and hard work of the filmmaker who has devoted many year's to making stop-motion animations. Inspired by the real story of her friend's father, the film tells us how tragic it can be when you keep trying to hide the pain.
Inside is a short but impressive film expressing the same kind of emotions and moods in another animation style.

The story line for "The Comedy of Errors" has all the twists and turns that earmark a Shakespearean play.
Two sets of long-separated twins end up in the same town and manage never to be in the same place at the same time.
Then the fun begins. Husbands end up with the wrong wives, and townspeople constantly mistake one twin for another.
Although it may seem that no further mischief could be crammed into the Bard's juicy plot, Trinity College Professor Arthur Feinsod added another spin to what he calls one of the greatest mistaken-identity plays of all time.
When casting actors to play the identical twins for the upcoming play, Feinsod purposefully made one twin black and one white.
"We can see the knot forming because we can tell the race, but the characters on stage don't see race," said Feinsod, who directs the play for this weekend's Connecticut Shakespeare Festival and Theatrical Fair.
It gets better.
One of the male twins is played by a female actress.
The race and gender differences are obvious to the audience, but not to the characters on stage.
Feinsod said he wanted to show what a world would be like where there was racial and gender innocence.
"The basic message is that underneath we are all brothers," he said.
The play is done in the commedia dell'arte style, a 16th-century Italian art form intended to make the play artistically accessible to the audience, who might otherwise become lost in Feinsod's powerful messages and Shakespeare's language.
Commedia dell'arte focuses on accentuating the actions underneath the language, said Laura Sheehan, artistic director for Capital Classics Theater Company, the group producing "Comedy of Errors."
"It focuses on telling the story as genuinely and as passionately as possible," she said.
Performers use a very physical, slapstick style and most wear masks to make the audience focus on their actions.
Elizabethan dances presented during the Theatrical Fairs that precede the Sunday performances are also done in the commedia dell'arte style. The fairs will also feature puppetry and music.
"Comedy of Errors" will be presented at the Pavilion in Bushnell Parkthis weekend and next, at 7:30 p.m. on Fridays and Saturdays and at 1 p.m. Sundays.
The Shakespeare Festival is free, and those attending may bring picnic lunches and their own seating.

It remember me the video on YT "where the hell is mat?". I think isn't it so original this ad.
This is an entertaining campaign, but it does not tell me anything about the brand. Is it cheap, fast, good, etc.? I have no idea. The only thing I know is they are kinda funny and family friendly I guess.

It's obviously not a brand ad. It's hard working retail. And judging from the increase in sales, it worked its arse off.

According to the Turnbull Government, the increase in the Medicare Levy is enough to fund the NDIS. But the peak disability body in Australia wants to see it.
According to the Turnbull Government, a small increase in the Medicare Levy in the 2018/2019 Budget is all that's required to fully fund the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS).
The Australian Federation of Disability Organisations (AFDO) is the peak organisation in the disability sector, representing people with lived experience of disability. AFDO's mission is to champion the rights of people with disability in Australia and support them to fully participate in Australian life. AFDO has strong relationships not just with its member organisations, but across the disability sector including peaks representing service providers as well as those representing families and carers.
AFDO played a key role in the campaign for the introduction of the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS), through its role as a founding member of the National Disability and Carer Alliance.
In response to the Turnbull Government's decision, Mr Ross Joyce, CEO of AFDO said, "Despite the Government reiterating its full support of the NDIS, we must seek an assurance that the NDIS will be fully funded for the long-term and we call on the Turnbull Government to provide full transparency, showing how long-term funding of the NDIS will be achieved.
"We welcome the news that the Commonwealth Budget is in a strong position. However, people with disability and their families need to know that funding is there for the long-term, not Budget-to-Budget. We need an assurance that this funding is sustainable."
As the NDIS has moved through the trial phase and begun the transition to full scheme, AFDO and its members have continued to work constructively with the National Disability Insurance Agency (NDIA), as well as Commonwealth and State and Territory governments to provide critical feedback and address implementation issues as they arise.
"People with disability, their families, and the wider Australian community are over the NDIS being used for political point-scoring. Australians have spoken; they fully support their NDIS, and they don't want a debate each year over the level of funding to be provided for the NDIS."
Mr Joyce reiterated that he will not agree with cutting funding to groups that support other vulnerable Australians, or to any other supports needed by people with disability and their families, as a price for fully funding the NDIS, deeming the move as "totally unacceptable".
AFDO calls on the Prime Minister, Treasurer and Minister for Social Services to provide immediate assurances to people with disability of the Government's continuing commitment to fully fund the NDIS ongoing, and to provide details on how they propose to ensure this happens.

When setting up a company, there are three primary models to choose from, most notably that of a sole trader, a limited liability company or a partnership. The sole trader or partnership model do not allow the business to be owned by a separate legal entity or provide limitation of exposure to the debts and liabilities of the business in a way that a limited liability company does. Each structure has varying characteristics and distinct advantages and disadvantages. As you will see, there is no simple answer to the question of which type of business structure to choose from and one size definitely does not fit all.
A sole trader effectively starts a business without forming a company and is a popular way of starting a new business in the UK. It tends to be particularly common amongst those going into business on their own for the first time. The primary benefit is retaining full control over your business as you are essentially 'your own boss'. Other key advantages include low start-up costs, less statutory obligations, simplified accounting, profit retention and privacy (as there is no requirement to publish accounts). In addition, a sole trader can elect to form a limited company at a later point. In terms of disadvantages, as sole trader businesses are not recognised as separate legal entities, liabilities and debts are personal debts. Other disadvantages include the perception that sole traders are seen as 'higher risk' and a perceived lack of prestige.
A limited company is a separate legal entity, distinct from its shareholders and directors. This means that third parties contract with the 'company' and not individual directors and shareholders and as such it offers the protection of limited liability which means your risk of loss is ordinarily limited to the funds invested in the business. Other benefits include the perception of prestige and permanence that a limited company possesses as this gives customers a sense of confidence as in reality many larger businesses will not deal with an entity that is not a limited company, taxation benefits as corporation tax as opposed to income tax is payable and dividends can be paid to shareholders, greater options when raising new capital through share classes, company name protection and setting up as a limited company provides a strong base on which to expand and develop. However, on the downside, compliance with the Companies Act 2006 is required on an ongoing basis, company information is on public file and significant costs are involved in complying with administrative and statutory burdens (including the annual filing of returns and accounts).
With an ordinary partnership, no limited liability is available and each partner is effectively liable for the business debts of the partnership (and the Partnership Act 1890 will apply if no partnership agreement is entered into which can have quite severe consequences). Whilst, trading as a partnership may be a beneficial way for two people to set up a company, as the business expands it may be more appropriate to form a limited company to avail of limited liability. Alternatively, a limited liability partnership (LLP) offers its members protection from partnership debts and liabilities and is in effect a hybrid between an ordinary partnership and a limited company. The administrative burden is, however, much greater and registration with Companies House is required, as is the filing of annual accounts and compliance with the Limited Liability Partnership Act 2000.
Therefore, when deciding on which type of company to set up, it is important to make an informed decision, as this will have both practical and legal implications and may have significant consequences in terms of costs, responsibilities and potential liabilities in the future.

There been quiet a bit of noise about the new lenses that may turn up at PMA and the one that seems to be getting quiet a bit of attention is the proposed 12-60mm. Now would I buy such a lens ? I think I would becuase of the starting focal length but the rest would depend on:

About the only thing that would possibly sway me towards getting such a lens and dumping my 14-54 would be if it has a USM-type motor in it. The 14-54 sampleI have is pretty darn sharp, and I prefer to use my 50-200 for the range between 50 and 65mm due to the fact itis an f2.8 lens at those focal lengths, and super sharp to boot.
One things for sure, the more choices people have, the better it is for everyone and Olympus.

hi Harj
I suspect this is meant to be a new twin lens kit to partner the 40-150
as to speculation, kind of anything goes at the moment tho
it does seem to duplicate, with a longer end, the 11-22
so there must be some rational difference between the two
so either its one up on 11-22, pro quality, or its one down, kit based
the 11-22 is in the middle st, semi pro i guess

Hi Riley
I'm not sure about the 12-60 being part of the kit lens with the 40-150 as Oly already have a new 14-42mm as part of the E400 twin kit lens. If its a pro quality lens, then Oly ahve killed off the 14-35 f2 which could be possible but it'd then be seriously expensive as it would be a 12-60f2. If its real it would mean theyre pitching it at the semi-pro range like the 14-54 but with that kind of focal length Oly are essentially then phasing out two lenses for one and the 11-22 is a bit unique bit of glass - fast and tack sharp even wide open.
Greg, regards the 14-54 ZD, I'm pretty happy with mine as well its sharp but I think it could do with being a wee bit sharper wide open and your completely right about a USM motor that should be a must have feature. Like I've said before I'd really like to see a 35-100 f2.8 or even a 50-100 f2.8 semi-pro lens, so that its reasonably priced, smallish size and weight, yet a fast, tack sharp like the 50mm, with USM oo and with a 67mm filter thread so we don;t need to spend any more dosh on buying bigger filters! I'm not asking for much .. honest.

[align=left]Been away on holidays and only now saw the 12-60 rumour.
This came just in time for me as I was about to press buttons to buy the 14-54 to replace the 14-45, now that should not be necessary.
Previous holiday trip was 14-45 plus 40-150 and rarely used the 40-150. (about 1,500 total shots)
This last trip was 11-22 plus 40-150 (no 14-45) and used the 40-150 even less. (about 4,500 total shots).
From that experience I reasoned that the ideal 4/3 travel lens would be something like a bit wider than 14 to a bit longer than 50, so the 12-60 (if true) fits my requirements nicely.
Previous trips with film and 28-108 lens years ago made me realise that 99% of the shots I did fitted in that bracket, but a little wider and longer would be nice.
For macro and longer tele shots I also carry a pocket camera with 28-200 equivalent lens, and the sacrifice in quality is worth the gain in kit simplicity to make the "one lens" DSLR trip a reality.
Sorry to waffle, but I just wanted to support the idea that 12-60 is an extremely useful range for me at least. If it is indeed f/2.8~4.0 then that will be quite OK.
Regards............... Guy

Let's go out into nature. You up for an adventure bridal… in your wedding clothes?! It doesn't have to be crazy, there's no need to be on top of a mountain or a foot away from a cliff if you don't want to be. We also don't have to drive half a day to get there. For this adventure bridal we drove an 1hr 30min to get to our destination; LA traffic included. Adventure does not have to mean a 20 mile hike, let's just be honest, I will personally drive up to you instead, or if that's not possible, I will tell you that, well, I just can't do those 20 miles. My point is! Going to nature and having an adventure doesn't have to be complicated.
Adventure Bridal means Dancing in Dirty Dresses
Anyway, back to this session. Brenda reached out to me a few months before her wedding day, she said her venue only allowed her to choose their photographer (very dumb by the way, I'll just tell ya how I really feel about that now), but she wanted me to photograph them still. I told her I offer Adventure Bridals. I explained, it is a photoshoot before, or after, a wedding in the bride and groom's wedding attire. She loved the idea and booked for a week after her wedding day. This way, she could enjoy the session without caring for her dress getting dirty (THIS MADE ME SO HAPPY)!!!
I jump and down (quite literally, okay maybe not literally) when a bride tells me she doesn't care about getting her dress dirty. (Later, I found out, by someone else, that this type of session is also referred to as "Trash the Dress," uhm yes, name it what you want! If you don't care about getting dirt, water, mud, and whatever else on your dress, please let me be there to photograph the magic that is bound to unfold!
Location: Thomas F. Riley Wilderness Park
Anyway! Keeping to the point is really hard. I suggested we go to Thomas F. Riley Wilderness park because Brenda wanted a "forest looking" location near Los Angeles. It was a place I knew fit what she had in mind. I also knew she hadn't been here, so that always adds charm to the shoot. We explored nooks and hidden areas, we "hiked" up a few hills, got our feet dirty, played in the sun and danced under the moon. It could not have been more perfect.
Also, Edward needs a special shout out because he wouldn't quit cracking jokes the entire time (he's actually really funny) and he made the session a complete walk in the park, pun intended (hahaha). I love these two so much!
So, this Adventure Bridal was done at Thomas F. Riley Wilderness Park because this beautiful couple wanted a forest type of feel. I did another Adventure Bridal that was also tons of fun, at the beach! I'm telling ya, these things don't need to be complicated! What makes YOUR heart beat? That's as far as you need to go. Click here to check the journal about that session, too!
Adventure Bridal heaven, basically. Am I right?? You wanna book one like this, well what you waiting for?! Let's do it!!

A true and wondrous shaggy dog story. Secundus's fifth-grade play is the musical version of Peter Pan, a hugely accomplished and enjoyable production, in which all the children in the grade take part. (S is the pirate Starkey.)
Having watched the first evening performance from the front, I had happily volunteered to help wrangle the large cast of ten- and eleven-year-olds behind the scenes for the next night's performance, a role that principally involves saying "Shhhh!" a lot. We're about halfway through the show, and the long corridor that runs past the stage entrance is momentarily devoid of pirates, Indians, or Lost Boys, who are either onstage or shut in the gym. It's a rare moment of peace.
I look up and see a dog, padding along the corridor toward us. A Golden Retriever. Alone.
Dogs are not allowed in school. Not even during theatrical performances. Even Nana, the Darling family's nursemaid Newfoundland, is played by a boy in this production.
A couple of us intercept the beast, who is docile and friendly and seems pleased to have some attention.
And then one of the girls recognizes it. "It's Hilary's dog!" she cries, referring to the talented young student who is that night's Wendy. An examination of the dog's collar reveals that it is indeed the redoubtable Scout. But how did he get here?
"Shall we tell Hilary?" another girl asks. "No!" the grown-ups respond quickly, not wanting to distract her from her performance. Nor, we decide, should we tell Hilary's mother, one of the two hard-working and inspirational moms who were the guiding lights of the show, now contentedly sitting with the rest of the family in the audience, unaware that she should have saved a seat for a late-arriving canine member.
One of the mothers backstage finds a necktie to use as a leash, and I keep Scout distracted while she tries to telephone the family's neighbor, who is able to come to the school and take him home. The play continues to the end, and Hilary -- unaware of the backstage drama -- gets to enjoy the well-deserved standing ovation, along with the rest of the cast and her mom.
Here's what we think happened. Hilary's family lives in a house next to a pathway that runs into the school grounds. Scout must have have gotten out, taken a fairly familiar route, and finding the cafeteria doors open to let in some air on this warm evening, trotted into the school looking for company.
Of course, we could be fanciful and believe he knew mighty things were happening that night, and he was determined to share in his family's triumph. (After all, if he'd chosen the previous evening for his escapade, he'd have seen a different Wendy.) So he took the second star on the right and went straight on till morning. Yes, that must be it.
(Cue Twilight Zone music.)

Rachel Shock, New Costa Brava Chaplain
The Revd Rachel Shock has been appointed Anglican Chaplain for the Costa Brava, serving 4 congregations spread throughout this northern part of Catalonia, Spain. She took up her position in August 2018 and her licensing service will be held in September 2018. She falls within the Archdeaconry of Gibraltar, like St George's does.
Churchwarden Gill Hepworth writes: "Revd Rachel Shock is being licensed on 4 September 2018 at 12noon in Madremanya. We are all very excited about it as there is a large group travelling from the UK to support her, along with a good number from the local religious community and of course our church community in Madremanya. Revd John and Deborah are also going to join us from St George's, Barcelona. Rachel's husband, Tim, and her two sons, Edward and Matthew, will also be there for the licensing. Rachel is very much looking forward to meeting everyone."

Purpose: We sought to profile first-time patients without a referral who sought medical care at the Department of Internal Medicine at a medium-sized acute care hospital in Japan. We anticipated that the analysis would highlight the demand for medical care needs from acute care hospitals and help confirm one of the problems associated with primary care in Japan.
Patients and methods: The study population comprised 765 patients who sought outpatient consultation without a referral at "the Department of General Internal Medicine" at the Ikeda City Hospital on Fridays over 4 years. Data on the following variables were collected: age, sex, examination date, reason for encounter (RFE), diagnosis, as well as history of consultation with or without antibiotic treatment at another medical institution for the same RFE. We used the International Classicication of Primary Care, Revised Second edition (ICPC-2-R) codes for RFEs and diagnoses.
Results: The main RFE fields were digestive (ICPC-2-R Chapter D), general and unspecified (A), and respiratory (R). The main diagnosis fields were digestive (D), respiratory (R), general and unspecified (A), and musculoskeletal (L). In total, 27.6% of patients had sought consultation at another medical institution for the same RFE. Of these, 64.7% of patients for whom the RFE was cough (ICPC-2-R code, R05), and 72.0% for whom the RFE was fever (A03) were prescribed antibiotics. In total, 62.4% of patients underwent emergency investigations and waited for the results; 4.3% were hospitalized on the same day; and 60.5% were medicated at the initial examination. In 11.5%, the main underlying problem appeared to be psychosomatic.
Conclusion: We used the ICPC-2-R to analyze the state of first-visit patients without a referral visiting the Department of Internal Medicine at a medium-sized acute care hospital in Japan. Common RFEs were abdominal pain, cough, and fever. A tendency toward overprescription of antibiotics was observed among primary care physicians.
Keywords: medium-sized hospital, general internal medicine, general practice, reason for encounter, International Classification of Primary Care, antibiotic overuse

Hierarchical data model
We present an implemented XML data model and a new, simplified query language for multi-level annotated corpora. The new query language involves automatic conversion of queries into the underlying, more complicated MMAXQL query language. It supports queries for sequential and hierarchical, but also associative (e.g. coreferential) relations. The simplified query language has been designed with non-expert users in mind.

Báo cáo khoa học: "SITS: A Hierarchical Nonparametric Model using Speaker Identity for Topic Segmentation in Multiparty Conversations"
One of the key tasks for analyzing conversational data is segmenting it into coherent topic segments. However, most models of topic segmentation ignore the social aspect of conversations, focusing only on the words used. We introduce a hierarchical Bayesian nonparametric model, Speaker Identity for Topic Segmentation (SITS), that discovers (1) the topics used in a conversation, (2) how these topics are shared across conversations, (3) when these topics shift, and (4) a person-specific tendency to introduce new topics. ...

Both these data models predate the relational model, and provide a level of abstraction that is lower than the relational model. They abstract away some, but not all, details of the actual data structures used to store data on disks. These models are only used in a few legacy applications.

Surface realisation decisions in language generation can be sensitive to a language model, but also to decisions of content selection. We therefore propose the joint optimisation of content selection and surface realisation using Hierarchical Reinforcement Learning (HRL). To this end, we suggest a novel reward function that is induced from human data and is especially suited for surface realisation.

Báo cáo khoa học: "Maximum Entropy Based Phrase Reordering Model for Statistical Machine Translation"
We propose a novel reordering model for phrase-based statistical machine translation (SMT) that uses a maximum entropy (MaxEnt) model to predicate reorderings of neighbor blocks (phrase pairs). The model provides content-dependent, hierarchical phrasal reordering with generalization based on features automatically learned from a real-world bitext. We present an algorithm to extract all reordering events of neighbor blocks from bilingual data.

This paper proposes a mistake-driven mixture method for learning a tag model. The method iteratively performs two procedures: 1. constructing a tag model based on the current data distribution and 2. updating the distribution by focusing on data that are not well predicted by the constructed model. The final tag model is constructed by mixing all the models according to their performance. 1

We present a simple yet powerful hierarchical search algorithm for automatic word alignment. Our algorithm induces a forest of alignments from which we can efficiently extract a ranked k-best list. We score a given alignment within the forest with a flexible, linear discriminative model incorporating hundreds of features, and trained on a relatively small amount of annotated data. We report results on Arabic-English word alignment and translation tasks. Our model outperforms a GIZA++ Model-4 baseline by 6.3 points in F-measure, yielding a 1.

One of the main obstacles to producing high quality joint models is the lack of jointly annotated data. Joint modeling of multiple natural language processing tasks outperforms single-task models learned from the same data, but still underperforms compared to single-task models learned on the more abundant quantities of available single-task annotated data. In this paper we present a novel model which makes use of additional single-task annotated data to improve the performance of a joint model. ...

In adding syntax to statistical MT, there is a tradeoff between taking advantage of linguistic analysis, versus allowing the model to exploit linguistically unmotivated mappings learned from parallel training data. A number of previous efforts have tackled this tradeoff by starting with a commitment to linguistically motivated analyses and then finding appropriate ways to soften that commitment.

The principles of the relational model were first outlined by Dr. E. F. Codd in a June 1970 paper called "A Relational Model of Data for Large Shared Data Banks." In this paper, Dr. Codd proposed the relational model for database systems. The more popular models used at that time were hierarchical and network, or even simple flat file data structures. Relational database management systems (RDBMS) soon became very popular, especially for their ease of use and flexibility in structure.

The relational database uses the concept of linked two-dimensional tables consisting of rows and columns, as shown in Figure 1-2. Unlike the hierarchical approach, no predetermined relationship exists between distinct tables. This means that the data needed to link together the different areas of the network or hierarchical model need not be defined. Because relational users don't need to understand the representation of data in storage to retrieve it (many such users created ad hoc queries against the data), ease of use helped popularize the relational model....

Former Clemson quarterback Zerrick Cooper has decided to transfer to Jacksonville State, per his Twitter account Tuesday.
The 6-foot-2, 220-pound redshirt freshman served as the backup to Kelly Bryant in 2017. Cooper passed for 256 yards and two touchdowns in 104 snaps over 10 games with a 61-percent completion percentage last season.
JSU recruiting coordinator and tight end coach JR Sandlin confirmed Cooper's transfer on his Twitter account Tuesday evening.
The Jonesboro, Ga., native was a four-star dual-threat quarterback coming out of Jonesboro High School before signing with Clemson in 2016. He had offers from Miami, Ohio State, Ole Miss, Wisconsin, Louisville, Cincinnati and Virginia Tech to name a few.
Jacksonville State will have starting redshirt senior quarterback Bryant Horn back, as well as redshirt senior backup Kendrick Doss. Redshirt freshman Zion Webb also likely will battle it out for the starting spot.
Cooper is the second FBS transfer in the past two days for the Gamecocks.
Sandlin tweeted former Auburn linebacker Tre' Threat has officially joined the program Monday, a week after announcing tight end Landon Rice also joined the Gamecocks from the Plains.
Threat, a Mobile native, was a reserve linebacker and played special teams for the Tigers last season. The 6-foot-1, 244-pounder from Spanish Fort High School announced his intentions of transferring in mid-December.
