Because of these problems, beginning in early 2012, Google started attempting to auto-attribute authorship in some cases where there was no or improper markup, or no link from an author profile. Could we see some form of Author Rank? Possibly, but it may come in a highly personalized form or get blended in with many other factors that make its detection virtually impossible
Spoiled Rotten - The New Yorker
Marano, an editor-at-large at Psychology Today, tells about a high school in Washington State that required students to write an eight-page paper and present a ten-minute oral report before graduating. In order to secure this advantage, they will do pretty much anything, which means not just taking care of all the cooking and cleaning but also helping their children with math homework, hiring them S.A.T
The graph below, again from Google Books, shows the shift in language that marked this change in spirit: Up until the early 1900s, causation showed up more often than correlation in the corpus; then the concepts flip. Victorian logician Alexander Bain wasn't breaking new ground in 1870 when he warned his readers of the "fallacy of causation," whereby we might assume that, say, "the healthy effect of residence at a medicinal spa is attributed exclusively to the operation of the waters," as opposed to being caused by "the whole circumstances and situation." The confusion between correlation and causation, he said (not quite using the famous phrase), "prevails in all the complicated sciences, as Politics and Medicine." With the arrival of Pearson's coefficients and the transformation of statistics, that "fallacy" became more central to debate
Researchers, please follow up on this hypothesis that pre-humans first evolved dance as a way to communicate, then evolved into singing with their dancing. Word for word, it was EXACTLY what I read just a few hours earlier that day from a birthday card I sent to my dad almost 20 years ago! I even called my dad and put the phone up to my computer speaker so he could hear it
Why do middle-aged women get tattoos? - Telegraph
Sure, you have the right to do what you want with your own body, but I also hate studs through lips and those repulsive, disfiguring giant hoops placed inside the earlobes to distend and distort them. In this liberal context, surely there is nothing offensive about a tattoo? The news that Felicity Kendal has two tattoos and wants a third, should remove the last traces of rebelliousness from their image
Museums and arts organizations such as the Metropolitan Museum of Art received nine of these major gifts, with the remaining donations spread among medical facilities and fashionable charities like the Central Park Conservancy. Although the Wisconsin senator later grew famous hunting communists, communists in the Milwaukee branch of the Congress of Industrial Organizations played a key role in his initial Senate victory in 1946
The Autobots and Decepticons become involved in a perilous space race between the United States and Russia, to reach a hidden Cybertronian spacecraft on the moon and learn its secrets, and once again Sam Witwicky has to come to the aid of his robot friends. She has clearly been chosen for the role for her good looks and her great sex appeal although I think she shines brighter as an underwear model than blockbuster film actress
The Rise and Inglorious Fall of Myspace - Businessweek
In March 2009, according to a former Myspace executive, roughly 10 people gathered in a conference room in the Beverly Hills offices to discuss the direction of the business. On June 9 the News Corp.-owned tech blog AllThingsD.com reported that a group of investors led by Activision Blizzard (ATVI) chief Robert Kotick was closing in on a deal
Thomas W Marsh subscriber 5pts Apple Watch is in my opinion just another un-necessary plant to track Americans as is social media which I personally stay away from. Stanley Jones subscriber 5pts From the pictures, I thought the 39 mm version looked way to large for your feminine wrist, and that it probably had a tendency to slip around onto the prominent knob of wrist bone making it stick out ungainly
When Celexa is withdrawn, serotonin levels fall precipitously because the presynaptic neurons are not releasing normal amounts and the postsynaptic neurons no longer have enough receptors for it. As side effects emerge, they are often treated by other drugs, and many patients end up on a cocktail of psychoactive drugs prescribed for a cocktail of diagnoses

The components of your immune system are also better circulated, which means your immune system has a better chance of finding an illness before it spreads. Sometime this fall, we hope to launch a vitamin D testing service through Lab Corp that will allow you to have your vitamin D levels checked at your local blood drawing facility, and relatively inexpensively
1960) is not of my generation, but he knows and understands us well, and has written a short and frightening book, You Are Not a Gadget, which chimes with my own discomfort, while coming from a position of real knowledge and insight, both practical and philosophical. Perhaps Generation Facebook have built their virtual mansions in good faith, in order to house the People 2.0 they genuinely are, and if I feel uncomfortable within them it is because I am stuck at Person 1.0
Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines (2003) - IMDb
Everybody had great expectations and it was clear that this movie would have lots of enemies, especially if someone else than Cameron was going to direct
The Scots had been buoyed up after their victory over Edward II at the Battle of Bannockburn the year before, and in July 1315 an army under Robert the Bruce crossed the border and laid siege to Carlisle. Yet they also have their uses, and a tourist industry has sprung up along the coast of Labrador and Newfoundland to watch them drift by on the Labrador sea current, in what is known as Iceberg Alley
Although the Wisconsin senator later grew famous hunting communists, communists in the Milwaukee branch of the Congress of Industrial Organizations played a key role in his initial Senate victory in 1946. If you look at Morocco, where the king had a major role in organizing the electoral change, you have a head of state who is a monarch who is descended from Muhammad, you have a government that is largely but not completely representative of the Muslim party of Morocco
(See religious groupings in pie chart below.) This report includes findings from a nationwide survey by the Pew Research Center, conducted June 28-July 9, 2012, using both landlines and cell phones, among a representative sample of 2,973 adults. Pew Research Center surveys conducted over the last 10 years, for example, find modest growth in the number of people who say they seldom or never attend religious services, as well as a declining number who say they never doubt the existence of God
Why Do Many Reasonable People Doubt Science? - National Geographic Magazine
The (boring) truth is that it usually advances incrementally, through the steady accretion of data and insights gathered by many people over many years. We went around killing each other to get on a throne, praying to a rain god, and for better and much worse, doing things pretty much as our ancestors did
