Culturomica

O

culturomics for those who love the original, is the new bibliographic information service that scientometric innovative humanities computing - so that the NYT is willing to talk about "Humanities 2.0" - backed by the inevitable Google Harvard researchers who developed the chart of a n-gram Markov on a population of data extracted from 4% of all books ever written in six languages \u200b\u200bfor a total of 500 million words in Google Books, "write a word or phrase in one of seven languages \u200b\u200b(English, French, German, English, Hebrew, Russian, Chinese) and look how its frequency of use has changed over the past centuries' Calls the home page of Culturomics .

Today, however, the resource is still the only English language optimized for the period 1800-2000. Scientists from various disciplines from Harvard University have created, so a Google Books N-gram Viewer, which provides statistical data in different fields such as lexicography, grammar, collective memory, the use of technology, fame, censorship, the historical epidemiology.

To cite an example given by Patricia Cohen, writing the word "women" compared with "men" you can see the evolution of the frequency of two terms, stable until the arrival of feminism 70s which overturned and increased the frequency ratio.

The resource, say Harvard, you can accelerate, among other things, the study of the evolution of language for updating dictionaries.

Grids and Clouds (and crowd)

It is meant grid and cloud , implied computing, where the first is known as distributed computing architecture for processing large amounts of data through the coordinated sharing of resources within a virtual organization such as grid computing science at CERN, for example, and that is the historical source of the second and where the borders between the resources are not as detailed and not as serving the most sophisticated (just a series of home PCs) to share, especially documents and information to reduce costs, simplify management and the gift of the risks to the supplier, that supplier is not goods but services ("Products are getting services," wrote Marshall McLuhan in 1966): Everything that we use on the network including the bank branch is now perched on a cloud somewhere, somewhere ... with such an absence of legal safeguards for those who fear worry about so many in the hands of so few large organizations to foster such complex (which will be worth $ 150 billion in 2013) from which our data store "sensitive" and which was not always certain to maintain its exclusive property.

Then came 2.0, which has seen fit to expand grids and clouds of machines in a crowd of people: computing crowd, in fact, or source crowd, to make the bloated concept of computer as a physical object (as well as the individual mind, at least to believe cinemap , "The Librarian" 3 -4/2010 ) together with the obsolescence of the concepts and practices download and upload because everything is held elsewhere in a more accessible and therefore always available.

With grids and clouds, companies such as InnoCentive , for one thing, when selling statistical analysis and economic, industrial design and problem solving investments, "light" infrastructure would otherwise be impossible without the use of distributed computing. But there are not only in other areas, Wikipedia and Facebook: there is just too Digitaltkoot the Finnish national library to digitize its texts apportionment among the users voluntary correction of the characters are not recognized by the scanner and that looks like a video game show, to escape the boredom of repetition, to win something and to feel part of a community helping to Finnish culture.

How big is this grid of clouds in the hands of the crowd? Not that much, apparently: less than a 1 followed by hundred zeros - the number Googol - (but The approximate amount of chess games as possible and 120 of 10) and that is always, however, larger than the estimate of the number of subatomic particles in the universe known as "known", which they say is around "only" around the power 70 of 10 ...

Hita-hita

That is, in Japanese, something that gets soft and smooth ( Smoothly and gently ) explains how a document from the Digital Repository Federation Japan Policy advocacy (advocacy, support, advocacy ...) 's in Open Access institutional repositories. It is contrary to that method, tiring and poor result, so-called "carrot and stick" in general use in our world, through which universities, research institutions or governments try to "force" the researchers to deposit their results documentation of their activities in scientific archives of free access to the international community, suggesting (carrot) high visibility and high impact factors as well (stick) the knowledge that only the material stored in them will be used to assess the individual scientific productivity also for the further funding of research.

Like everything wants to adopt the method of sweetness, these penetrations require long and patient preparation of softening and moistening of the psychological part, through extensive information campaigns run by librarians, conversations with researchers, dissemination of information material, publication step by step the results, sharing of problems and call for discussion of ideas for their solution. A solution with the best outcomes of knowledge management that, not surprisingly, is Japan's industrial strategy by ...

so today I am in Japan the 122 institutions that together hold 760,000 items (an average of more than 6,000 items to institution a total of 250 European archives that are worth a total of two and a half million documents, with an average of a thousand items to institution).

Peer Web

To first began, in his sixtieth birthday, "Shakespeare Quarterly, and now we are trying also" post-medieval, "but long ago it was commonplace in the world of mathematics where humanistic, using blogs and wikis within a single week was an article published and evaluated, deciding not to use the traditional method, which usually takes months or years to achieve the same result.

"Shakespeare Quarterly - announces Katherine Rowe, guest editor of special 61:4," Shakespeare and New Media "- has in fact conducted from March to May 2010 an experiment in partial open peer review.

It gives an account in Italy " CIBER Newsletter" (on the site shows the source), telling how humanities scholars are beginning to challenge the system of peer review traditional wondering if there is a more efficient way, using the Internet, to subject the product to a quick trial and a more collective wide, instead of depending on a few experts chosen by the editors - and higher costs. The Magazine of the above had asked to comment on four scientific articles already subject to trial by an "inside" group, just to enjoy the scientific comparison with a control group.

At the end of ' experiment, 41 people made more than 350 reviews of good quality, often urging rebours the authors' comments that, in this way, were involved to face, and suddenly, with their readers, thus triggering even a virtuous circularity of scientific debate, landing in an intelligence un'autorialità and, in fact, collective.

Ovo Qwik

Or: Look at the information.

the invention in a \u0026lt; www.qwiki.com > (in alpha stage and still accessible by invitation only), was rewarded by CrunchBase 2010 that assesses the most innovative ideas of the Web and consists of a multimedia encyclopedia in which the consultation takes advantage of the automatic processing of textual sources and visual presentations, video, graphics and a narrator who tells the reader not the facts of a character, a historical fact, a city, a type of technology, a musical genre. The transformation process is fully automated, not requiring human intervention in the creation of movies. The idea came from a former member of Facebook, Eduardo Saverin and founder of YouTube, Jawed Karim.

different but related perspectives is the Italian initiative Ovo \u0026lt; www.ovo.com > created in two steps from Andrea Pezzi (which it shares with Vincenzo Monti birth to Alford), and that tells Out Program, Bompiani, 2008. Unlike Qwik - and apart from the different amount of funding and the amount of information available - Ovo is not built automatically comes with a rich graphical user interface clickable and is organized into categories: Ovobio (men and women who made history), Ovopedia (encyclopedic knowledge) and Ovopolis (cultural structures created man).

The real news, however, lies elsewhere, and is in denial of any contribution user generated or is a work of crowd sourcing, to the benefit of items signed, published and eventually financed by a single author, who thus becomes " owner "of an encyclopedia entry of up to cultural patronage of companies that use this form Publishing to acquire advertising space.

How To Make A Good Hidden Blade

No Video, but the Book is not sincresi of both (less than not translate the neologism in Vibro ...). He launched for over a year, the American publisher Simon & Schuster "with \u0026lt; vook.com > The releasing of a patent by Bradley Inman, the creator of a platform innovation on which all forms of media can be integrated to create new communication experiences.

The video-book + film or book can be downloaded from iTunes for a few dollars (but for Valentine's Day of 2011 were enough 99 cents) on your iPhone or iPod, iBook, iPad, Kindle, or online directly and, if all 'start teaching manuals and a few contained mainly the first work of fiction (like a short story by Anne Rice vampire also accompanied by a book trailer shot by his son), the catalog is now richer and more complete.

Reading the book (or, to a lesser extent, listening to the radio), because no figures (just what Alice would have wished to meet in the reading), allows the imagination to build the scenery and the faces independently, so that two readings of the same book, even by the same reader, not the intellect they give the same result. A movie or a play or a comic, conversely, enable albeit in different sizes, an interpretation less or not at all personalized because castrating imaginifica structure of each tax and visual solutions chosen by others, even if it is true that the identification emotional "player" with the hero of the story takes place more quickly and deeply. However, the integration of two such different ways to cover a story will, probably, a new type of experiential reading: immersive, mining, education, or all three together, a fourth hybrid form of interactivity that still do not know?

In any case: "We believe it is possible" vookkare "any book," says Bradley Inman, a proponent of triumph with every comfort: to look more and read less.

Zeldox Withdrawal Side Effects

The Unbearable Ruby defend to the bitter end

And here again it reappears

Ruby escorted to the debutantes' ball by Richard Lugner, tycoon who calls himself the "Berlusconi of Vienna". In short, a dead goose that lays the golden eggs if they find another. I certainly undertake to investigate or bring out the best, the best way out, squeeze the libidinous old no matter what the price, especially if you have a beautiful body and a pretty face. I can not stand those who defend this girl, and I do not even matter if the legal point of view - given that just because everybody like age there is a law that protection, you know Silvio? - Means the injured party. Here the point is the culture that now dominates in Italy, the diffused by the President of the Board and accepted by the multitude of banal idiots who eat the brain before the Big Brother. Easy life, money, women, fun ... and make ends meet in one way or another. But then to hear everyone's meritocracy, but on behalf TEZI. I system in some way and some Gabola, then others will have to earn their success.

Defending a girl who thinks exactly so, as I see it, is to be imbeciles. I have nothing against hookers, mind you. Indeed it was for me this work would be legalized, they would pay taxes and would live as normal citizens as it should be. But when it comes to a girl of just 18 years I wonder where the hell they are, for example, his parents before the company! Was the father kicked in the ass and I would understand in one way or another, that things in the world we should be making money off your ass and not giving it. Unfortunately it seems that many parents, primarily mothers hyenas, they drive their children to think in this way. "They just mess with success", "Do not miss this opportunity, that can make your own luck, get to do." That sucks dick.

is a bit 'the emblem of what I say will not change until people can not be expected to change politics and culture.

Story To Remember Drmrsvandertramp

The brazenness of the "Olgettina"

That there is someone who really believes that girls dell'Olgettina - all with the fourth stangone bra and ass marble - were paid tens of thousands of euro to hear jokes Berlusconi me angry bad. It is yet another expression of a country that does not want to be saved, he wants to believe the balls this pushovers.

But there is one thing that pisses me off, if possible, even more: the victimization of prostitutes Berlusconi. Wherever they feel their utterances. They complain of having their lives ruined, the salary to be withdrawn and no money.

Now, I do not keep the records of every escort from which the premier is supplied, but judging from the journals they kept and interceptions, and the price list on the extent of 300 € per oral performance, that these ladies have to have a good time for the next few years without problems. Despite this, they try to explicitly pass for the victims of this situation, often backed by unexpected - very good - as journalists Giulia Innocenzi, who was spending the Minetti - his old friend, seems to understand - for "one that was wrong" and that he can still rehabilitation.

that last Wednesday I managed to pull a ball kicked over the bar into an empty net I was wrong. I said "Oops, I made a mistake." These are not "OPS I was wrong." For my understanding of the time is over for some time. We have well as the brainwashing of television, questionable home environments and all the rest. But in the end everyone has free will, his head and his cock of the brain that is just for them and not be used to make fertilizer, extra worms after death. Among these hoes who traffic drugs, end to hold public office and then to take care of our business, to give away money to get there more easily and without merit than to be made of plastic, all have degrees from 110 and praise But no one has ever seen, which have the unique artistic ability to see the ass of the famous island and the cassintegrati Omsa, students without a secure future or work that the textile that goes Italy to spend less - with the government allow it - leaving their families crippled, I do not have big doubts. And here to pass these victims is an insult to the healthy part of Italy in general and Italian women in particular.

Maybe because I'm not surprised. The only difference, in Egypt they became furious.

Dark Bump On Butthole

Oh no, this time I run. It took the Mara Carfagna on duty with his utterances of Menga and yet another publicity cabbage feminists wake up from hibernation. One thing I do not understand certain social categories - pass me the term - is that for social emancipation from ghetto to which they are "victims" do not miss an opportunity - with outdoor events, ideologies - in their own ghetto. An example is perhaps the most uplifting of Gay Pride. Homosexuals say that sexual orientation can not and should not be a discriminating factor in social, occupational, political, religious. Beautiful, fantastic, obviously we all agree! And to say this - sacrosanct - what principle are they doing? Organize an event that, for beautiful, colorful and harmless it is, is only meant to bring together gay and lesbian people in a giant group detached from the rest of the world. "We are homosexuals, we have a pride." Meanwhile, However, under the pretext of claiming your equality to the rest of mankind, you'll be separated by only highlighting the differences, even if ephemeral and not worthy of representing a strong social distinction. Thus obtaining the opposite effect.
The same think happens to the females from the front line of battle. They want equal opportunity, equal dignity, all things absolutely right. But then they end up distorting the meaning of their battles, making it a battle of sex, that it is precisely the distinction that you would like to eliminate from the debate! For example, in the political solution to the discrimination against women, which is undeniable, it was the so-called "quote rosa". All happy, all happy and if some party leaders do not ensure that those odds are met then you see that casino comes out. But this is ghettoized themselves, this is because you remind the world that women pretend your party to the sound of fighting there has been granted by the company. The way I see it, the solution really regardless of sex, race, religion, etc. ... in this example would be "put capable people within the parties." In this view there is no distinction of any kind. Another question is "We have started in 100 men and 50 women, we would like to correspond with the rose." This is an allotment based on a calculation which distinguishes all right, whatever, without considering the merits of the capacity but each one based on sex, which is the discriminating factor to remove. Understand the problem?

Now, it makes me laugh enough that both the Minister Carfagna - former model and showgirl on the timetable for horny truckers, will never forget - both groups of feminists is convinced scaglino against the advertising of a bitter because, in their view, "detrimental to the dignity of women. " I stand a couple of questions: where were the feminists when Carfagna was appointed Minister for unspecified merits? Where were they when President Berlusconi proposed as a solution to the insecurity of a young woman to marry a rich man? And while we're at, where it was when they were discovered Carfagna's harem of whores for the consumption Rider, paid for with diamonds and thousands - even millions - of € when women have normal blood spitting from morning to evening for a pitiful wage as everyone else?
situations to get angry with knowledge of the facts there would be a wagon, but they are outraged by an advertisement that, ultimately, does nothing but return a very current theme or the arrival of certain categories of women who simply take advantage of the libido powerful. Speaking of women's dignity is right, get angry when it is to be pissed off too, but until they are angry with Ruby, the D'Addario and macros else is just hypocrisy. If a man can buy a woman means that there are women willing to sell, and as long as there are women willing to sell this is an issue inseparable from our social life. Whether it's an advertisement or any other thing
If you do not say loud and clear that the problem is not only Berlusconi who buys but also willing to sell is just hypocrisy.
Unless it is stated that the problem is not only the commercial but the social situation that obviously inspired it, it means that we have not understood anything.

COMMENT

like last time, again a nice medal if the medal gets a commentator on the blog. The subject chooses a deliberately feminine nickname, believing to have more visibility, and starts running around the blog by copying and pasting the usual ad in which someone tries to save him from his condition of illiteracy. Also, put at ease the potential partner. I can not put a screenshot because the genius at the time of writing this post, has already removed the comment. But for his bad luck I get a copy in my mailbox, and then faithfully carry:

Battisti, to think of anything else

Cesare Battisti is on everyone's lips, until the day before yesterday an Italian in a hundred knew who we were talking. As I am appalled and outraged that a murderess is not brought to justice, and for that of course can understand my point of view can not be the same Alberto Torregiani for obvious reasons, I just can not put the affair in Battisti Italy's top priority, even in the top of the list of news that can lead to anger and indignation, as long as someone is still capable of outrage.

On the other hand it makes me think of Industry marchionizzazione Italian - because, my beautiful, to compete with the Chinese need to work in their own terms - or the breakdown of our economy. At the scientific level of the systematic destruction of public education, another constitutional right violated. Italy to an increasingly poor and angry. In the presence of convicts, bankrupts, whores and gangsters in parliament, with all due respect to those who preach respect for institutions because the institutions have become the salvation of those that beach for decades are ruining a whole country.

Well, I think that the problems are much more. It is not enough of a summer apartment in Monaco or poor girls killed, now we must fill the news also make La Russa said that with Brazil, "there will be consequences." If I were Lula tremble with fear.
