Day 1 Arrive at Amritsar

Traditional welcome on arrival at Amritsar at by Travel Pals (India) Pvt. Ltd. executive with fresh marigold flower garlands and then transferred by air-conditioned exclusive car to your reserved hotel. AMRITSAR (230m) - In Hindi the word Amritsar means a Holy pool of nectar and it was back in the year 1573 that work for digging the Holy pool began. Located in the North West region of India, Amritsar lies about 15 miles (25 km) east of the border with Pakistan. The most striking feature about Amritsar is its antiquity. Its central walled city has narrow streets mostly developed in the 17th and 18th century. The city is a peculiar example of an introverted planning system with unique areas called Katras. The Katras are self styled residential units that provided unique defence system during attacks on the city. Amritsar is the main seat of Sikh history and culture. The city itself was founded by the Sikh Guru, Guru Ram Das, and till present times it is the spiritual and temporal center of Sikh culture with the Golden Temple in Amritsar as its nucleus.

Day 2 Amritsar

Guided visit to the Golden Temple -holiest shrine of the Sikh religion, Jallianwala Bagh massacre Gardens and then towards evening the popular border gate closing ceremony of India-Pakistan

Day 3 Amritsar / Pathankot (by train) / Kangra (97 kms - 2 hours)

Morning transfer to Amritsar railway station to board train for Pathankot (0800/1130 hrs). On arrival in Pathankot, short drive to Kangra town (730 m) in the foothills of Himalayas. Late afternoon, you will be introduced with your bikes! Overnight at the hotel

Day 4 Kangra / Dharamsala (32 kms / cycling)

Today's ride, although short, does involve a lot of ascent. To begin with, the road through the upper Kangra Valley is very straightforward, but beyond the road junction at Gaggal it starts to climb in a series of long hairpins that are, thankfully, quite well graded. There's no rush, you can bike at your own pace, and anyone who wants to can take a ride in the support vehicle. Throughout today's ride, there are inspiring views of the Dhaula Dhar (White Mountains).
Dharamsala (1457m) is one of the most famous of British Raj 'hill-stations' and is spread across the foothills for several hundreds of vertical metres. Passing through the main streets of Dharamsala, we arrive at our hotel for check-in.
After lunch, we continue by car to the upper suburbs of Mcleodganj at around 2000 metres, where we visit Dalai Lama Temple, Buddhist Monastery, an interesting St. John's Church and souvenir buying in Mcleodganj.

Day 5 Dharamsala / Palampur (50 kms / cycling)

We will have some free time after breakfast to stroll around or ride around the city. Further, an easy descent through Dharamsala, where we pick up a network of quiet country roads that take us eastwards just above the valley floor. We pass through a number of tranquil villages and tea plantations and stop off for lunch en route. We also stop enroute at a Hindu temple considered to be one of the holiest shrine of goddess 'Chamunda'. You will be mesmerised to see the devotion of the visitors and the prayers being offered to mother goddess. It's a sight that shows the spirituality of the country. We further ride 30 kms to our destination amongst spectacular views of the Dhauladhar range on our left. You will get ample of photo opportunities of snowcapped mountains.
Arrive at Taragarh Palace heritage hotel, a private palace still owned by the erstwhile Princely state of Jammu & Kashmir. A beautiful village on the outskirts of Palampur town surrounded by Deodar trees and abundant views of local Palampur tea plantation.
Enjoy a well deserved evening in the lawns of your palace over a cup of tea or a beer!

Day 6 Palampur

An excellent ride opportunities around Palampur (1100m) town visiting the Andretta potteries to experience the local art and converse with the local potter families being supported & encouraged by a couple.
Return to your palace by late afternoon and enjoy a dip in the pool.

Day 7 Palampur / Mandi (90 kms)

We ride on our bikes up to Joginder Nagar with views eastwards to the Himalayan ranges enjoying the spectacle of rural India going about its daily life. An early highlight of the ride is the chance to stop at the beautiful 13th century temple at Baijnath, dedicated to the Lord Shiva. Continuing our ride on quiet back roads, we reach our stop at Jogindernagar (1220m). From here we shift into the car & make our way to our overnight stop in Mandi (800m). After checking in at our hotel in the early evening, there is time for those who are feeling energetic to do some exploration. Mandi is effectively our gateway to the Kullu Valley. It is the main town in the region and, with its dozens of old stone temples featuring many fine carvings, it is sometimes referred to as the 'Varanasi of the Hills'. The temples of Bhutnath, Trilokinath, Panchvaktra and Shyamakali are among the more famous.
Riding Mileage: 45 kms Driving: 45 Kms

Day 8 Mandi / Shoja (75 kms)

The Beas River cuts through the first of the Himalayan ranges and provides us with a convenient route into the southern end of the Kullu Valley. Although the road twists and turns it manages to stay reasonably level, considering the mountainous terrain on both sides of the river. The lowest slopes in many places are terraced and covered in apple orchards, whilst beyond the dam and hydro-electric plant at Pandoh, we find ourselves riding above an extensive reservoir. We take it steadily, with regular stops to admire the views and to take a breather.
This is a wild and seldom-visited part of the Indian Himalaya, cloaked in forest of pine and oak. At the village of Banjar, after approximately 10 kilometres, we pass through a main street lined with wooden-fronted shops and then just a couple of kilometres further on have the chance to take a break at the attractive, pyramidal Murlidhar Temple, dedicated to Krishna. The last leg of the ride to Shoja will be driven in car.
Overnight in a deluxe camp with attached toilets in Shoja (1962m). The camps are located in a picturesque zone with great views over the valley. Riding Mileage: 60 Kms Driving: 15 Kms

Day 9 Shoja / Thanedar (80 kms)

We have quite a tough day today, with lots of climbing and many zig-zags to negotiate. The steady ascent above Shoja soon takes us up to the tree-line. We leave the forest of pine behind and find ourselves in a sub-alpine world with stunted birch trees and closely-cropped grassland. The road surface deteriorates, too, broken by winter freeze-thaw and there are long stretches of hard packed earth and gravel. At the Jalori Pass (3135m), we can look beyond the nearest ridges to an unbroken crest of snow-capped peaks, the Pir Panjal. From here, it's all downhill and we need to ride carefully, keeping our speed under control, particularly on the many bends.
Finally, we reach the Sutlej River and shortly thereafter we are driven to our overnight accommodation in Thanedar (deluxe camps with attached toilets) Riding Mileage: 60 Kms Driving: 20 km

Day 10 Thanedar

Free day to enjoy views, relax your muscles and stroll around the village. Plenty of time to in this charming village to meet villagers who are not used to seeing may foreign visitors. You will be able to experience the many usages of cow dung in a normal lifestyle of a villager!

Day 11 Thanedar / Shimla (75 kms)

The big climbs are behind us now and we are left with a delightful, high-level ride through Himalayan foothills to Shimla. The road twists and turns, contouring around ridges and generally managing to avoid doing a lot of climbing. Mixed forest of pine and oak covers most of the valley sides and we have occasional glimpses westwards into the Sutlej Valley, far below us. After several stops, including a lunch stop in a village en route, we cross a final low crest and drop down into the widespread settlement of Shimla (2400m), another former British Raj hill-station.
We have time to look around in the evening and to walk along the pedestrian main street, known as the Mall Riding Mileage: 60 kms Driving: 15 Kms

Day 12 Shimla

SHIMLA - Way back in 1817, a small village tucked away in the Himalayas was discovered by British surveyors and pronounced an ideal retreat for the homesick colonizers. Named after Shyamla Devi, an incarnation of the fierce goddess Kali, stories of Shimla's salubrious climate and invigorating surroundings made it grow in popularity. Sprawled over 12 kms on a crescent shaped ridge, Shimla is the largest hill station and erstwhile summer capital of the British in India. Descending in layers from the top of the ridge, at 2,213 meters, Shimla straddles several hills, including the Jakhoo, Prospect Hill, Observatory Hill, Elysium Hill, and Summer Hill.
Though Shimla, which is now the capital of Himachal Pradesh state, has come a long way from the days of the Raj, the old British buildings, quaint cottages and churches still remind visitors of an era long gone by. Shimla is also famous for Kalka to Shimla train journey which is the one of the most sought after journey in the country. This track is now on the UNESCO's world heritage rail site. This is one of the oldest hill railway track built by the British in India

Day 13 Shimla / Delhi (by train)

You cannot miss one of the highlights of this route that is a ride on the Kalka-Shimla Railway line riding on the narrow gauge toy train from colonial Shimla railway station to Kalka junction. The line passes through 106 tunnels and several single and double arch bridges over this 80 kms long railway line. On arrival in Kalka, switch from narrow gauge platform to the broad gauge platform to board the air-conditioned chair car express train to Delhi. DELHI - It is a city that bridges two different worlds. Old Delhi, once the capital of Islamic India, is a labyrinth of narrow lanes lined with crumbling havelis and formidable mosques. In contrast, the imperial city of New Delhi created by the British Raj is composed of spacious, tree-lined avenues and imposing government buildings. Delhi has been the seat of power for several rulers and many empires for about a millennium. Many a times the city was built, destroyed and then rebuilt here. Interestingly, a number of Delhi's rulers played a dual role, first as destroyers and then as creators.

Day 14 Delhi

After breakfast in the hotel, you will be introduced with your guide for a city tour of Old & New Delhi. The city where one can experience the influence of the many rulers who ruled this region, a city built and destroyed and re-built over seven times. The guided tour takes you to the monuments that depict the different eras. The tour includes visit to the magnificent Red Fort (exterior), The Jama Masjid - one of the Asia's largest mosque, cycle rickshaw ride through the narrow lanes of Old Delhi passing through Chandni Chowk, Chawri Bazaar etc, Humanyun's Tomb, Qutab Minar - 73 mt. tall minaret, India Gate war memorial, President's House and drive through Connaught Place. Evening, see Son-et-Lumiere (Sound and Light show) at Red Fort with dinner at an Indian specialty restaurant (Optional with supplement cost involved).

Day 15 Onward Travel

Relaxed breakfast at hotel. Today at an appropriate time, you will be met and transferred to Delhi International airport to connect with your homebound or onwards flight.

Bon Voyage !

These birds measure 45 to 50 cm in length and weigh 450 to 550 grams. They have a wingspan of 100 to 110 cm. The shearwater is brownish in color with mottled head and mottled white underparts. The bill is rather large and pale. The legs are pale pink in color. They feed mainly on squid and fish. They are known to follow fishing vessels. They breed from March onwards. They nest in burrows in high forested hills.

Congress, NCP call for parallel counting of votes on EVMs, VVPAT in Goa

PANAJI: The leaders of the Congress and the NCP from Goa on Monday requested the Election Commission to conduct simultaneous counting of votes from EVMs and Voters Verification Paper Audit Trail on March 11 to ensure accuracy.

The leaders of both parties called upon the full bench of the ECI, led by the Chief Election Commissioner Nasim Zaidi, in Delhi.

They presented a resolution adopted by various political parties, excluding the BJP and the AAP, in Goa in a meeting held last week in Panaji.

“We demanded that counting of votes on EVMs and VVPAT machine should be conducted simultaneously, as there is a scepticism across the country about the credibility of EVMs. This would be an opportunity to ECI to prove that EVMs are reliable if the VVPAT slips and the count on EVM tallies,” AICC Secretary Girish Chodankar said after the meeting.

VVPAT machines were introduced across all polling booths in Goa during the February 4 polls.

Chodankar, accompanied by NCP’s Goa unit spokesman Avinash Bhonsle, raised a question-mark on the secrecy of voting through ballot papers which is allowed for those employees of the state government who were on election duty.

The Chief Electoral Officer (CEO) of Goa has allowed voting by ballot papers till few hours before the counting on March 11.

However, the political parties in Goa had expressed apprehension that the employees could be pressurised to vote in favour of particular candidates.

“Entire process adopted for ballot paper voting has been doubtful. There cannot be such a long period from February 4 till March 11 for the state government servants to submit their ballot papers,” Chodankar said.

He said the CEC and other officials gave them a patient hearing.

Claiming that a large number of Army personnel had cast their votes in recent polls while on duty here, the Congress leader said it should have been verified whether their names were deleted from the voters’ rolls in their native places.

IIC is a cloud-based clinical healthcare IT company, delivering innovative and transformative solutions to automate prior authorization process via EDI 278 for both payers and providers.

diagram2 copy

Prior authorization is the only effective pre-service, pre-payment method to prevent unnecessary treatment, over-utilization, and misuse. Scalability of the utilization management function based on real-time automated authorization process protects insurer payments, and enables patients to receive the most medically appropriate services based on payer policies.

IIC’s 278 Authorization Engine allows scalable utilization management and real-time adjudication based on an automated process. Payers are able to respond in real-time to the vast majority of prior authorization requests without human intervention, by automating all the payer’s policies and clinical guidelines.

When the process is automated and real-time, prior authorization can reduce post-service denials, re-submissions, medical reviews, physician and clinical staff time, and patient rescheduling, and in turn improve patient satisfaction scores. Prior authorization is the closest assurance providers receive from payers guaranteeing payment for treatment.

The lack of automation and real-time responses causes delays in approvals, higher rate of denials, requires administrative and clinical FTEs, and delays patient treatment and outcomes. IIC’s automated EDI 278 prior authorization solution simplifies administrative processing, reduces delays, increases utilization rates, and provides a uniform workflow when submitting authorization requests to payers.

  • Comply with the ACA EDI 278 payer mandate as of Jan 1, 2016 and make EDI 278 transactions useful
  • Adjudicate majority of authorization requests without human intervention
  • Automate any clinical care guideline
  • Scale utilization management to control over-utilization and misuse
  • Configurable to meet health plans authorization criteria
  • Guideline rules are editable by payer
  • Allows payers to scale PA across all procedures, tests, labs, DME, etc.
  • Custom analytics helps enforce evidence-based medicine
  • Dramatically reduces need for medical review and re-adjudication of claims
  • Hosted by IIC or easily deployed on payers’ infrastructure

  • PA submissions and electronic documents based on EDI 278 /275
  • Submit PAs to all payers in the provider’s network from a single point of entry.
  • Reduces submission time by an order of magnitude minimum.
  • Uniformity and standardization of workflow within a multi-payer offering
  • Reduces administrative burden, eliminates unnecessary delays, and reduces cost
  • Easy to use, promoting high utilization while reducing unnecessary delays and call volumes by integrating the patient eligibility function with an electronic prior authorization request
  • Enables electronic implementation to submit “Standardized Forms” for prior authorization
  • Integrated with any portal or system with well-defined API or used stand-alone

Think vertically

This could be the title for a plethora of posts. I will start by saying that we need to first think vertically by checking ourselves with the word of God for everything that we do, but I am referring to a little more superficial vertical today. I know that our inner beauty is far more important than outer beauty, but we need to stay current with the times. "Charm can fool you, and beauty can trick you, but a woman who respects the Lord should be praised." Although this is true, it is not to be misconstrued that we should not worry about our outward appearance at all. Our bodies are the temple of the holy spirit, and we need to take care of them and make sure that we are not frumping for lack of effort. Okay, sopabox over with. Here is the real "Thinking Vertically."

When we dress, we need to think in terms of vertical lines. Everyone has heard that horizontal stripes make even the smallest frame appear bigger. I don't know about you, but I do not have any friends, myself included, who want to look bigger. But I am not just talking about avoiding horizontal stripes when you go shopping. I am talking about adding vertical lines to any outfit after you are dressed. There are many trends that are very current to help women out in this area.

  1. Think about adding an open jacket after you get dressed. Currently, trench coats are very fashionable, and they not only add vertical lines, but they also help to hide a "multitude of sins" (hips, bottoms, thighs). Check out this look from Ann Taylor. Even in the summer time, vertical lines can be added over a t-shirt by adding a light weight button up (left open).

  2. Think about adding a long necklace. You can layer this or keep is simple by just leaving it long. This creates a vertical line and draws the eye to the center of the body as opposed to the edges. It also draws the attention to the neckline and the face so that the eyes are not drawn to the waistline and hips.

  3. A Deep- V neckline can also create vertical lines. You can go here without being immodest by wearing the correct undergarmets and/ or wearing a lighter colered camisole underneath. This look from Lane Bryant not only utilizes the deep v neckline, but it also adds vertical lines in the seams for a slimming effect.

Have fun finding new ways to create vertical lines and lose weight without going on a diet. Now head on over to Ms. Fussypants for more Fight the Frump ideas.

Frugal Cardmaking

You know when you buy the little dollar stamps at Michaels and JoAnn's?  They have a thin clear acrylic liner on either side of the stamp.  One I keep to cover the stamp in my notebook where I store my clear stamps, the other one usually gets thrown away.  But, with my Vagabond (you can use any die cut machine), I cut flowers (3 in this case) from each one.  Then I laid it on a piece of paper and put drops of Adirondack alcohol inks here and there and used compressed air, like you use to clean your computer to spread the ink around.  I used Raisin, Raspberry and Pink Sherbet.  The I set the ink with my heat gun.  To make the petals curl I very carefully "dove" the heat gun closer and pulled it away quickly so it didn't turn to a hard clump of plastic.  Then I used a Red violet RV19 copics pen (which is also alcohol ink, so it works well on shiny surfaces) to edge it in the places where it actually came out clear, just to give it a little definition.  Pierce the center and applied this cute little BoBunny brad.  The background script stamp is Inkadinkado.  Edges of that piece is sponge distressed with Victorian Velvet  Distress Ink.
But that wasn't the end of the frugality.
I've always just hated wasting the center part of the mats when you only see 1/4 inch of it.  So, from each mat I cut the flourishes using a Sizzix die. Because of the type of die it was, the sizlet, it leaves the base cardstock a little wavy, but I just put it  under my glass mat for a few minutes and it laid down nicely.
Remember, I said that I laid the flowers on a piece of paper to blow the alcohol ink around?  I started out using a piece of scrap copy paper.  When I do bank deposits for work I have to print out four copies and it only uses a small portion of the copy paper, so I usually turn it over and use it again for the next deposit.  But that still leaves a good portion of the paper, so I keep those and use them in my art room for "whatever."  But then as I was doing this card, I looked at paper underneath and got another idea.  I got a piece of scrap white cardstock and used that instead.  So what looks like pattern paper here is actually the overspray from the alcohol inks coloring of the acrylic flower.
Then I used a mixture of perfect pearls and water and misted it to give it a sheen.  I LOVE the way it turned out.  The stamps used are Close To My Heart.  Title is heat embossed on black.  Butterfly is highlighted with a jelly roll sparkle pen and cut out.

I finished off the card by cutting the border with an EK Success border punch and inked the base card with the Victorian Velvet distress ink and added the ribbon.  It was a fun way to spend a couple hours on Christmas Eve!

That's so great! My stepdaughter especially appreciates it since she got clawed but good while studying. Apparently our cat, Clyde, got the handle of a paperbag stuck on his head, came thumping out confused, and scared the living.... feces.... out of the little kitten, Liv (her cat) who proceeded to jump on Sarah, claws out! Owww. Now she looks like a vampire bit her neck. A particularly clumsy vampire! :-)

All that effort to climb onto his head? My cat lies on my arms and keyboard. It's a surefire way to stop me writing, unless I want her contribution of "cajdjnkkn" in my novel for some reason...

Kitty! *shiny eyes*
A cat wouldn't need to sit on my head/shoulder/keyboard to stop me from writing, or doing whatever I mean to do (including thinking). Just the presence of the cute kittyness is enough for me. I love cats.

September 28, 2008 | Unregistered CommenterTeardropcatcher

As I'm reading this, I'm working (or trying to work) on the couch with my laptop on my lap and my cat snuggled up to my mouse hand...

When he takes a break from napping he likes to chew on my fingers. If I pull away he grabs my hand with both front paws and all 10 claws, so I understand the pain factor too. :)

From the desk of a dirty mick

It's been about 3 months since I started this blog, one random December morning. So far I have noticed quite a few return visitors, which tells me one of two things. Either sometimes what I write is intrguing or people are just blindly curious as to what kind of nonsensical dribble will pour forth from my cranium next. Either way is fine, hopefully you'll keep reading.

Due to my increasing focus on this blog and in life in general on space sciences such as astrophysics and astronomy, I have added a slew of new links on the sidebar, many of them space-related, although not all them.

I don't intend to blog solely about space but it will probably continue to be the main focus of my efforts.

I don't usually babble about my life too much but here's what's going on. Classes at Kish, writing a book, and in any spare time blogging randomly here and being a general hermit.

Some of the blog posts upcoming include a look at cargo cults (specifically Jon Frum), a piece on kava, a database I am compiling of declared "nuclear emergencies" from 1999-2006 and hopefully I will also have time to complete a look at attendence and voting patterns in the DeKalb city council that I began last year while working at a news publication. I am also hoping to follow up my post on drilling and logging in the Allegheny National Forest. We shall see.

And don't forget to check out the Postcards from Venus post.

Also I am thinking of switching this blog over to wordpress. I have set up a preliminary blog. I like wordpress because it lets you categorize the posts, making for much easier navigation. Check out the mirror blog I set up (minuses the links) at
Let me know what you think, I need feedback on this one, leave comments here please. Even if you don't want to leave a comment, you can vote in the poll I put up in the sidebar, below the links and above the ads. Thanks.

Either blog format works for me... I'd say go with whichever works best for you.

Stopping by here is practically a daily routine for me... never know if it'll be some interesting odd ball story, impending planetary doom, or some 'tree-hugging hippy' post.

Was wondering who the other contributor, Rollo, was though... if he/she's posted anything I think I missed it.

I'm coming up on the anniverary of my little blog, but my blog isn't quite as entertaining. I run a selfish blog... mostly for my own benefit. Instead of having to repeat the same arguments over and over I keep them in an easy-to-link place. This one is more fun since it has that 'daily factoid desk calendar' appeal but with up to date factoids.

Imagine flipping to the new day on your desk calander only to have it tell you that a giant asteroid just got upgraded to 'might kill you' status!

I've always liked the "pirate treasure map" format here, kind of a down & dirty feel; but you'll rock wherever you blog from & categories are more user-friendly IMO. So, Boing! Ball back in your court!

p.s. Is it just me, or are the word verifications getting longer & longer?

rollo works in mysterious ways ;)

Harmonium uses the Wordpress format and it seems a lot less restrictive than blogger's format. I also think the format for writing/posting things is set up much better than blogger. Not to mention the fact that it's quite a bit more pleasing to the eye than the brown papyrus paper of a blogger template.

the word verifications are a bit ridiculous not mention near impossible to read sometimes, but if I turn them off i get mad comment spam.

My Daughters Favorite New Song…And One of Mine Too

By April 6, 2012General

I seriously love this song from Britt Nicole. She’s my daughters’ favorite singer and I’m just so thankful that there is an artist out there so talented and so in love with Jesus that can inspire and be a role model for my girls.

(Email and rss readers click here to watch the video.

This is a stripped down acoustic version. The regular version is my favorite, but this really showcases her natural talent.

And the lyrics? Beautiful and fist pumping. I especially like the way she sings the line: “…and every. single. moment. between…” and also “I know You’re for me / And You’re restoring / Every heartache and failure / Every broken dream…

Album: Gold
I remember the moment
I remember the pain
I was only a girl
But I grew up that day
Tears were falling
I know You saw me

Hiding there in my bedroom
So alone
I was doing my best
Trying to be strong
No one to turn to
That’s when I met You

All this time
From the first tear cry
To today’s sunrise
And every single moment between
You were there
You were always there
It was You and I
You’ve been walking with me all this time

Ever since that day
it’s been clear to me
That no matter what comes
You will never leave
I know You’re for me
And You’re restoring

Every heartache and failure
Every broken dream
You’re the God who sees
The God who rescued me
This is my story
This is my story

I hear these people asking me
How do I know what I believe?
Well I’m not the same me
And I saw the proof I need
I felt Love I felt Your grace
You stole my heart that day

Here is the album version, if you want to hear it.

And You?

Did you like it? And do you or your kids have any favorite new songs? Click here to join the discussion!

    God used this song to minister to my heart and I have always loved Britt Nicole but after this song I knew why, we had the same story! Well close. My parents divorced with I was 7 and I remember the day it happened…though I did not find the Lord completely until I was in my 20’s. I know my life would have been different though if I had found Him then. He is redeeming it all though. She is a great girl for our daughters to look up to!! She has another great song I want to set the world on fire…. this is her acoustic version on k-love, amazing!!

    • Kat says:

      Isn’t it wonderful how she shares her story behind the song. I know it must be ministering to so many. And I LOVE “Set The World On Fire” and that KLOVE version is saved in my youtube favorites!

  • Brittany says:

    Wow! I hadn’t heard this song yet, but it’s amazing and so moving! I love the lines, “I hear these people asking me how do I know what I believe? Well I’m not the same me. That’s all the proof I need!” That’s something I’ve really been trying to take in and believe lately. Thanks for sharing!!

    • Kat says:

      Oh, you’ll love another song on her new album too, then. It’s called “Look Like Love” and part of it says, “I want to look like love, not just be in love…” So good.

  • libby says:

    This is one of my favorites, too! My little girl is just 7 mos..I didn’t even think about it in terms of something I can be exposing her to. Gonna go play my Britt Nicole CD now for her! Never too young:)

  • My daughter really likes Britt Nicole, Mandisa and Zoe Girl. I’ve been enjoying music by Josh Garrels, Dara Maclean and NeedToBreathe.

  • Brittany says:

    It’s like this song was written for me…. I found God when my brother’s friend left me pregnant after I had been his mistress on and off again for 6 years. That was when I found Him and changed completely. THAT is how I know He’s real… Nothing could change me like this other than Him. Even better? After praying for reconciliation between the guy and myself for a year… God answered my prayer, and now we’re building a friendship based on God. He heard my prayer, and He responded, and I heard Him. It’s not the best way to find God, and I know it’s not the most “conservative Christian-friendly” story, but that’s what happened. And that’s how I know what I knw now.

  • I LOVE Britt Nicole. Other favorites include Bethany Dillon, Rebecca St. James and Natalie Grant.

  • Jennifer says:

    Awesome song! Thanks for posting this. I’ve never heard of Britt Nicole but I’ll be looking for her music now 🙂

The Scapegoat

(Rochester, New York) – Set in 1952 as Great Britain prepares for the coronation, The Scapegoat, airing August 11, 2013 at 9 p.m. on WXXI-TV, tells the provocative story of two very different men who have one thing in common: a face.

It is said that everybody has a doppelgänger somewhere in the world. Held up changing trains, John Standing, a Greek teacher whose position was just cut, goes to a bar – whereupon he spots Johnny and feels a bolt of electricity. Johnny is his mirror image; the likeness is uncanny. But while John is in search of human connection, aristocratic landowner Johnny craves an escape from his responsibilities. The two men spend the night in the same hotel. But when John awakens the next morning, Johnny is nowhere to be found and his driver wants to take John "home." Some deep impulse responds to the crack of opportunity, and John literally steps into his double's shoes.

John suddenly finds himself responsible for a beautiful young wife, two mistresses, a morphine abusing mother, a precocious daughter, a crumbling stately home and a nearly bankrupt business. Despite his efforts to escape, he finds himself irresistibly drawn into Johnny's life - with fatal consequences.

tooty frooty

dress/belt/skirt: thrifted // tights: forever 21 // heels: target

I bought this skirt a while ago in an effort to add more basics to my wardrobe (don't know how I figured a bright purple velvet pencil skirt was a basic, but whatevs), and haven't yet worn it on the blog yet! (At least, not that I can remember.) Who woulda thunk it was hard to style it, am I right or am I right? But since I have less than half of my (already fairly small) closet home for the summer, I'm sure you'll be seeing this skirt a lot. I think part of the reason I've been having trouble with it is because I tend to shy away from pencil skirts. I much rather prefer ones that flare away, such as this one, but since looking at these pictures, I'm starting to like it a bit more and am already thinking up other ways to style it.

Well the snow's all gone! No matter how hard I try not to talk about the weather, I swear it's in my blood. And I'm so happy the snow is gone! The moose are out, the sun is shining, and the world is once more at peace. You think I'm kidding when I say I'm excited about this warm weather, but I was jumping up and down and soaking the fresh air in. Aaaah Alaskan summer is marvelous.

I just got back from frolfing with friends and general hanging out, and if this is what the rest of the summer is going to be like, then sign me up. It's weird because in high school I felt like I had hardly any friends, but now that I'm done and actually hanging out with people because I want to and because they want to, I don't feel like I'm forced to socialize. I don't feel like I have to try to make a good impression to get people to like me, like I used to feel when going to a new school. I've been thinking a lot about when I first moved to Alaska, and the last thing I want is for this summer to be like the first summer I was here. This summer, I don't feel forced to try to make friends, and now it's just an effort of making the friendships that I do have here stronger. College has a lot to do with feeling comfortable, I am sure. It's helped me know who I am and who I want to be, and it's helped me not be so self conscious all the time and to just have fun and not be so down about not hanging out with people all the time, and to cherish the times I am around people that I care about. I know I've emailed some of you guys about this, and am planning on doing a more in depth post about confidence, but for now I'll just say that I am really thankful for all my friends and I'm thankful I don't have to try to impress them.

Really, today was an awesome day.

I hope you have a marvelous day!

When the markets are bullish, a lot of traders only focus on high target levels. This leads to a left out feeling among the ones who have missed out on the rally, and they rush to buy at elevated levels. This results in a huge loss of capital to the uninformed traders.

The opposite works when the market falls. One starts to hear bearish voices with the analysts forecasting apocalypse and novice traders get scared and dump their holdings. They buy when they should be selling and sell when they should be buying.

Hence, it is always better to take these forecasts with a pinch of salt. We, therefore, avoid giving unrealistic target levels to our readers and try to keep them on the right side of the trade.

In our previous analysis, we had predicted that Bitcoin would turn down from the $13,202 levels and that is what happened. The cryptocurrency topped out at $12,988.89 on Jan. 20. It is currently retesting the critical support zone of $10,704.99 to $9,300.

For the past two days, the bulls are defending the $10,000 levels. If this level holds, we may see another attempt to pull back. The trend will turn positive in the short-term only when the BTC/USD pair breaks out of the down trendline 1.

This trade should be taken with only 50 percent allocation because on the way up, Bitcoin will face resistance at the neckline of the head and shoulders pattern and at the down trendline 2.

On the downside, a break of $10,000 is likely to hurt sentiment, resulting in a decline to $8,000 levels.

We had forecast a rally to $1174.36, which is the 61.8 percent Fibonacci retracement level of the recent fall from $1424 to $770 and Ethereum topped out at $1,160 on Jan 20.

The price has returned to the trendline support, which has offered strong support since Dec. 10.

The bulls have been attempting to hold the trendline support for the past two days. We believe the support zone between $900 and $845 is likely to be defended strongly by the bulls. The ETH/USD pair will indicate a change in trend only after it breaks out of the down trendline.

If the above-mentioned support zone breaks, the decline can extend to $770 levels. We don’t find any buy setups; hence, we are not suggesting any trade on it.

In our previous analysis, we had anticipated Bitcoin Cash to return from the $2,072 levels, and it topped out at $2,112.11 on Jan. 20.

The moving average has completed a bearish crossover, and the price is quoting below the 20-day EMA and the 50-day SMA; which is advantageous to bears. If the retest of the recent lows at $1364.96 fails, a fall to $1194 is likely.

If the bulls defend the $1364.96 levels, the BCH/USD pair is likely to become range-bound for a few days.

As the trend is still down, we are not suggesting any trade on it.

Ripple returned from the 20-day EMA on Jan. 18. It currently has support at the $0.87 levels.

We believe that the XRP/USD pair will become range bound for the next few days between the support of $0.87 and the resistance of $1.74.

We shall wait for a breakout above the overhead resistance to initiate any long positions. On the downside, though we expect the $0.87 to hold, it might be reasonable to wait for a bounce before buying. As the trading inside the range is likely to be volatile, we shall only try to buy closer to the supports.

We had mentioned that $3.032 is the critical level for IOTA and a failure to break out above it will attract another bout of selling and that is what happened.

The cryptocurrency is currently attempting to hold the Jan. 16 low of $1.923. If the bears succeed in breaking down this support, a fall to the lows of Dec. 22 of $1.10 is likely.

If the bulls hold the $1.923 levels, the IOTA/USD pair is likely to remain range bound for the next few days. It will become positive only if the price breaks out of the down trendline of the descending triangle.

Litecoin broke above $205, but could not reach $225, as we had expected. It turned down from $214.48 levels on Jan. 20.

The bears are trying to break down of the critical support level of $175.19. If successful, a fall to $140 is likely.

In the short-term, the first sign of bullishness will be when the LTC/USD pair breaks out of $215. Currently, we don’t find any trade set up on it.

On Jan. 20 and Jan. 21, the bulls could not sustain above the downtrend line. As a result, NEM has resumed its decline.

Currently, the bulls are attempting to hold the $0.86 level. If this breaks, a fall to the Jan. 16 lows of $0.551 is likely.

On the upside, the down trendline is likely to offer strong resistance. The first signs of bullishness will be when price breaks out of the $1.21 levels.

We don’t find any trade setups on the XEM/USD pair.

Cardano could not break out of the 0.00006 levels. It is now likely to gradually fall to the support levels of 0.000047, and after that to 0.00004070.

For the next few days, we expect the ADA/BTC pair to remain range bound between 0.00004070 on the downside and 0.00006915 on the upside.

We shall wait for the pair to bounce from one of the support levels before initiating any trade. At the present levels, we don’t find any bullish setups on it.

Dictionaries in the Irish Supreme Court

Apropos a recent article in the New York Times about the increasing citation to dictionaries by the U.S. Supreme Court, I did a quick search on Justis for the use of dictionaries in judgments issued by the Supreme Court of Ireland. There were 200 results (by way of comparison, the US Supreme Court "used dictionaries to define 295 words or phrases in 225 opinions in the 10 years starting in October 2000") and the court used the dictionary to interpret the meaning of words ranging from "amicus curiae" to "cattle" to "advance" to "instalment" to "sum" to "produce." In addition to frequent citation to the Oxford English Dictionary, the Irish Supreme Court also referred to Murray's New English Dictionary, Stroud's Judicial Dictionary, and Tomlins-Jacobs Law Dictionary. I also observed that Justice Fennelly - who is one of the more frequent users of the dictionary - shows fine taste in favouring the OED!

Among the gems:
  • "The word, “ouncil” or “ouncel” is obscure. It does not appear in any dictionary even in the longest version of the Oxford Dictionary. Perhaps it is unique to Kilkenny. From context, it clearly means a weighing machine." (Justice Fennelly in Simmonds v Kilkenny County Borough & ors (2011)
  • "a slot machine is defined in the Oxford dictionary as a machine which is operated by the insertion of a coin in a slot" (Director of Public Prosecutions v. Cafolla (1994))
  • ...[crunch] has a very clear and specific meaning, whether we take it in its modern spelling of"crunch," a spelling which has been known for over a hundred years, or its older spelling, "craunch" which has a history of some 250 years. Whatever be the origin of the word, whether it be as suggested by some persons an onomatopoeic amalgamation of the words "crush" and"munch," or whether, as suggested by one learned lexicographer, it is an echoistic modification of the word "crush,"nevertheless, as the word "crunch," it is established in modern English usage with a clear, specific meaning, and the strongest evidence of that fact is the spontaneous exclamation of the workman on testing the result of the boiling, which he described as a "great crunch." (Fry-Cadbury (Ir.) Ltd. v. Synnott (1935)).

Annotated Power To The People Plan From Jill Stein

Yesterday, Jill Stein announced that, in fact, she is not merely exploring the possibility of running for the Green Party presidential nomination in 2016, but is an officially active candidate. One of her first acts as a fully-armed and operational Green Party candidate was to release a Power To the People Plan, which you can read below (the notes in italics are from Irregular Times).

The Power to the People Plan:

A Green New Deal:
Create millions of jobs by transitioning to 100% clean renewable energy by 2030, and investing in public transit, sustainable agriculture, and conservation.

What counts as “sustainable agriculture”? Does Jill Stein categorize biofuel farms that expend as much energy as they create as sustainable? Do large-scale organic farms that plant big monocultures count as sustainable?

Conservation is already taking place. To what extent does Jill Stein want to expand it, and what kinds of conservation does she seek to focus on? Conservation of energy? Conservation of vulnerable ecological habitats? Conservation of early 18th century Mardis Gras costumes?

Jobs as a Right:
Create living-wage jobs for every American who needs work, replacing unemployment offices with employment offices. Advance workers rights to form unions, achieve workplace democracy, and keep a fair share of the wealth they create.

Unemployment offices are already given the task of encouraging people to find work. What specific changes, other than the removal of the letter “u” and “n”, does Jill Stein seek to make to them?

What does workplace democracy mean? Does it mean that workers have the right to elect CEOs and other executives through secret ballots?

End Poverty:
Guarantee economic human rights, including access to food, water, housing, and utilities, with effective anti-poverty programs to ensure every American a life of dignity.

What counts as utilities we have a right to? Do we have the right to Internet access as a human right? What about cellular services? Is there a human right to Netflix?

Health Care as a Right:
Establish an improved “Medicare For All” single-payer public health insurance program to provide everyone with quality health care, at huge savings.

Would the Medicare For All system be mandatory for all Americans? Would doctors be allowed to opt out?

Education as a Right:
Abolish student debt to free a generation of Americans from debt servitude. Guarantee tuition-free, world-class public education from pre-school through university. End high stakes testing and public school privatization.

Will student debt be abolished at high-price private universities and colleges? If the government will pay for tuition at these schools, what’s to prevent them from jacking up their costs even higher?

Will standardized tests to get into medical school be abolished? What about the bar exam? Will only inconsequential tests be allowed?

A Just Economy:
Set a $15/hour federal minimum wage. Break up “too-big-to-fail” banks and democratize the Federal Reserve. Reject gentrification as a model of economic development. Support development of worker and community cooperatives and small businesses. Make Wall Street, big corporations, and the rich pay their fair share of taxes. Create democratically run public banks and utilities. Replace corporate trade agreements with fair trade agreements.

What does it mean for the President of the United States to “reject gentrification as a model of economic development?” What specific federal policies would put this rhetorical rejection into action?

Protect Mother Earth:
Lead on a global treaty to halt climate change. End destructive energy extraction: fracking, tar sands, offshore drilling, oil trains, mountaintop removal, and uranium mines. Protect our public lands, water supplies, biological diversity, parks, and pollinators. Label GMOs, and put a moratorium on GMOs and pesticides until they are proven safe. Protect the rights of future generations.

What constitutes a GMO? Is canola oil a GMO? Are hybridized plants GMOs? What specific evidence does Jill Stein have that GMOs are harmful?

Freedom and Equality:
End police brutality, mass incarceration and institutional racism within our justice system. Expand women’s rights, protect LGBT people from discrimination, defend indigenous rights and lands, and create a welcoming path to citizenship for immigrants. Protect the free Internet, replace drug prohibition with harm reduction, and legalize marijuana/hemp.

What provisions will Jill Stein support to protect the American people from the harmful effects of second-hand marijuana smoke? Will she support equivalent regulations for marijuana and tobacco?

Justice for All:
Restore our Constitutional rights, terminate unconstitutional surveillance and unwarranted spying, end persecution of government and media whistleblowers, close Guantanamo, abolish secret kill lists, and repeal indefinite detention without charge or trial.

How will we know when the secret kill lists have been abolished?

Peace and Human Rights:
Establish a foreign policy based on diplomacy, international law, and human rights. End the wars and drone attacks, cut military spending by at least 50% and close the 700+ foreign military bases that are turning our republic into a bankrupt empire. Stop U.S. support and arms sales to human rights abusers, and lead on global nuclear disarmament.

No question.

Empower the People:
Abolish corporate personhood. Protect voters’ rights by establishing a constitutional right to vote. Enact electoral reforms that break the big money stranglehold and create truly representative democracy: public campaign financing, ranked-choice voting, proportional representation, and open debates.

Will Jill Stein support the abolition of unregulated campaign contributions from organizations other than for-profit corporations? What limits would Jill Stein seek to impose on open debates? Does she support allowing everyone on the huge list of registered presidential candidates, including Robert Milnes, to get up on a debate stage all at once, or does she seek to close the debates to some presidential candidates?

    “Does she support allowing everyone on the huge list of registered presidential candidates, including Robert Milnes, to get up on a debate stage all at once, or does she seek to close the debates to some presidential candidates?”
    Please let us have some idea of liberty. Even Robert Milnes has a right to run for President. I just would prefer someone else. But it would be interesting to see both he and Bernie Sanders on stage. With Israeli consultants solving California’s water problems and Bernie Sanders promoting true family values.
    Jill Stein has been promoting these ideas for a long time, in the same way. It would seem other major party candidates of the past took her lines and ran with them. Some of her ideas have been addressed to some extent now and she needs a new way to express them in context with today. Jill Stein had the courage and ability to jump start the Green Party. To see that others have found offices in a new niche of politics. Best Wishes Jill!

    1. Robert Milnes says:

      Bernie is in absurd position. He almost certainly will not get the democratic nomination. Then he will have to endorse the reactionary ZOG democratic nominee or appear a user/hypocrite.
      Stein just may win the Green nomination. Then almost certainly will lose the general election. Which is what The ZOG wants. For her and Gary Johnson to keep the nomination FROM someone who just might win. And keep the illusion of fair elections.

      1. ella says:

        Jill Stein has already won in one respect. The Green Party holds public offices in many counties and cities around the country, if not any national offices. At least the Green Party is having an influence, perhaps at the basic level. Ron Paul did not win the Presidential election, but his efforts brought people into the national Congress who are influencing policy today. The Tea Party also in making inroads. Bernie Sanders is drawing enough attention to make his opponent spend money on negative ads against him. He has made inroads in the Democrat Party. He is leading a revolution for the people who wrote the Constitution, and people are listening. He too well leave a legacy if nothing else, that may benefit this country. For the first time since Whigs and Tories were the only Parties, we have new political parties being elected.

  2. Tom says:

    Now that the “Democrat” President pushed through his TPP plan for the corporations (with their financial assistance in paying off the legislators), all this political posturing and the entire idea of voting as a means for positive change is completely irrelevant. Now we have SECRET government backed by clandestine agencies to protect the interests of the corporate class over ordinary people – which will ensure that the government, no matter what party it is composed of, goes along with their plans. Anyone stepping out of line may be blackmailed, strong armed, have an unfortunate “accident, or simply be disappeared. i think that drone strikes on them would be a little heavy handed, but not out of the question any longer.

    “Enjoy” the collapse of industrial civilization as the global banking system melts down, food and water shortages bite hard and climate change continues unabated.

  3. ella says:

    ““Enjoy” the collapse of industrial civilization as the global banking system melts down, food and water shortages bite hard and climate change continues unabated.”

    I have heard that grim prognosis before. The IMF is still ‘solvent’ and we will more likely be seeing a change in ‘our’ currency as a global currency is circulated. Congress is bought and sold at will apparently. Since the American people are not able to make a clean house in Washington and all of our rights and freedoms are being yanked out from under our noses, it appears what we will have is a privileged class, the workers, and the very wealthy/business/industry class. Now that the ‘President’ has the power to make trade deals on his own, he has the power of a Dictator or Monarch without much a Parliament. The Constitution is for the Supreme Court to view as they see fit and make decisions politically. I am beginning to wonder just what the function of the House and Senate are in Washington. Apparently to give the Executive Branch all the power it wants. Oh, and allocate money to themselves and those who help facilitate them. There is an interesting Book that comes to mind in this type of situation. By now It seems to gain legitimacy, as truly all factors are in place. The World of Tomorrow is Today.

  4. juniebjones says:

    I fear, and I don’t think I am alone, that support for Jill Stein-who definitely will not win the general election, is a vote for Trump-one of the scariest people to ever walk the planet. I am not a rah rah Hillary person, but let’s get real. The only vote against Trump-who is insane, is a vote for Hillary Clinton.

    1. J Clifford says:

      Yes, let’s get real,. As a matter of plain fact, JunieBJones, there are many ways to vote against Donald Trump, and voting for Hillary Clinton is only one of them.

      In 2008, Democrats told liberals: “Go on and vote for Barack Obama. He’s just saying those things because he’s running for election.” What we got was a President who refused to consider a single payer health care system, a President who wouldn’t release photos of torture by the U.S. government, a President who abandoned support for climate legislation, a President who declared the right to go to war to overthrow a foreign government without approval by Congress, a President who expanded offshore drilling after the Deepwater Horizon, a President who bailed out Wall Street and Detroit corporations while leaving the American people to shoulder the burden of the recession, a President who kept the NSA spying program going and wants to punish Edward Snowden.

      Maybe voting for Barack Obama was worth it. Maybe not. One thing that’s for certain is that you don’t get a liberal President by voting for a pro-corporate centrist.

      I voted for the Green Party presidential candidate in 2008, and the minions of the Underworld were not unleashed upon the Earth.

      Hillary Clinton needs to EARN liberals’ votes. She isn’t entitled to them. We need to have a President who isn’t Donald Trump, but we need to do better than just having a President who isn’t Donald Trump.

Crowdsourcing Twitter annotations to identify first-hand experiences of prescription drug use

TitleCrowdsourcing Twitter annotations to identify first-hand experiences of prescription drug use
Publication TypeJournal Article
Year of Publication2015
AuthorsAlvaro, N., M. Conway, S. Doand, C. Lofi, J. Overington, and N. Collier
JournalJournal of Biomedical Informatics

Self-reported patient data has been shown to be a valuable knowledge source for post-market pharmacovigilance. In this paper we propose using the popular micro-blogging service Twitter to gather evidence about adverse drug reactions (ADRs) after firstly having identified micro-blog messages (also know as “tweets”) that report first-hand experience. In order to achieve this goal we explore machine learning with data crowdsourced from laymen annotators. With the help of lay annotators recruited from CrowdFlower we manually annotated 1548 tweets containing keywords related to two kinds of drugs: SSRIs (eg. Paroxetine), and cognitive enhancers (eg. Ritalin). Our results show that inter-annotator agreement (Fleiss’ kappa) for crowdsourcing ranks in moderate agreement with a pair of experienced annotators (Spearman’s Rho = 0.471). We utilized the gold standard annotations from CrowdFlower for automatically training a range of supervised machine learning models to recognize first-hand experience. F-Score values are reported for 6 of these techniques with the Bayesian Generalized Linear Model being the best (F-Score = 0.64 and Informedness = 0.43) when combined with a selected set of features obtained by using information gain criteria.

Antiochia: Style and Taste

Filed under Reviews (Eats)

Antiochia's street style -- by Ansel Mullins
In Istanbul, we’ve noted an inverse relationship between a restaurant’s atmosphere and what’s coming out of the kitchen. In most cases, as furniture design goes slick, as bathrooms get properly lit and ventilated, as the wait staff becomes customer-savvy, the quality of the kitchen inevitably goes down. Presumably, there are those in Istanbul who go out to eat and those who go out to sit in chic restaurants, and never the two shall meet. But just when we thought this theory was watertight, we stumbled upon Antiochia – a small restaurant in Beyoğlu that exudes cool without sacrificing flavor. Continue…

The Grand Bazaar: Come for the Shopping, Stay for the Food
12 responses - Posted 07.15.09
We like to think of Istanbul’s Grand Bazaar – open since 1461 – as the world’s oldest shopping mall. If that’s the case, shouldn’t the Grand Bazaar be home to the world’s oldest food court? That may be taking the analogy too far, but for us, the Grand Bazaar can ...continue

For us, one of the highlights of spring in Istanbul is a visit to Çiya Sofrası, the Asian-side eatery that is very likely the best restaurant in Istanbul. It’s certainly not the fanciest or most cutting-edge place in town, but we rarely leave Çiya without having a profoundly new and ...continue

Why your business needs to think about custom software

What is ‘custom software’?

Custom software is a specialized software that has been developed to exclusively meet the needs of your business. To make this simple to understand, if you think about Microsoft Word, which a lot of businesses still use, this piece of software is supplied in a box and with the same capabilities, no matter who uses it. Custom software bypasses this idea, and instead presents the end user a software solution that has been carefully made so the requirements of the customer are met.

Reasons for a custom software solution

There are a number of reasons why a custom software solution may be the one for your business. They are all compelling reasons, and the ideas add up to a solution that saves you a lot of trouble if your needs are unique.

Feeling helpless

This won’t happen with custom software. Feeling helpless happens when you have a software solution sitting in front of you and it just cannot do what you want it to do. The more specialized and niche your company is, the more likely this is to happen. Because you have very unique needs that the majority of users of mainstream software don’t have, that mainstream software will bring your projects to a halt, because the specification doesn’t include your kind of work. With custom software, you get to decide what features and processes the software contains.

Improve your work style

Mainstream software is made for the mainstream user. You may be able to use it in your company or organization, but this may mean compromises in the way you work, or how you manage future projects. Custom software is designed to help you get done what is necessary, and in the way you like it.

Customer Support

Ever tried calling Microsoft or other big software firm ? You may get through, but it is often a very long time before you get to the department you want so that you can arrange for the support that you need. With custom software, you don’t have to worry about this. Your support contact will be with the developers who know exactly how your software has been put together, and how best to help you. It is personal, and focuses on you and your business. You don’t get that with software that is shipped to millions of people each year.

Getting the edge on the market

This is where the good news really happens, when you use custom software development. If you have a truly bespoke software solution that has been developed just for you and your needs, then your business will be streamlined. Your processes will be easier to manage, and they will happen more quickly. You will also be able to devote more time and resources to different aspects of your organization, such as sales. This means that you will be one step ahead of your competition, who are still using mainstream software that doesn’t give them time to devote to other activities that will help to boost profit and establish market share.

The Watson problem

Posted by on February 16, 2017.

There is a problem with Watson.

Don’t get me wrong; I love Watson, or at least the idea of Watson. For such an incredibly complex operation the concept is clean and simple.

You take a great big computer. You teach it to understand free text; and then you feed it millions and millions of research papers, studies, scientific analyses and so on.

In fact over the years you feed it all the knowledge in the world – and you end up with a computer that holds and understands all the knowledge in the world. Ask it any question and it instantly knows the answer.

Of course, some of the information it has digested will be wrong. But because it has everything, it can use crowd wisdom to know the truth. When was the last time you saw Millionaire’s ask-the-audience get it wrong?

That’s the theory; so where’s the problem? Well, it’s not with Watson. Watson is just a machine and it does what it is told. The problem is with the humans who feed it the information, and the humans who will come to rely on its wisdom. But the reality is that it will never be given everything. The owners will decide.

Consider its use in healthcare. Who owns the scientific studies in healthcare? The pharmaceutical companies. They commission the research and they suppress what they don’t like. You can guarantee that the research going into Watson will be heavily weighted in favour of the pharmaceutical industries. If a paper criticises a particular vaccine, there will be a dozen that sings its praises. And using crowd wisdom, if you ask Watson how to prevent an illness, it will say, have the vaccination.

Because the machine does not understand truth, it just understands numbers. The problem is that we humans will translate the machine’s numerical output into moral and ethical truth.

This principle goes beyond healthcare. It will be repeated wherever a big and powerful industry controls the information that is fed into the machine. Governments will do the same. They will control the input in order to control the output. And we will simply accept the output as truth.

Just as calculators have robbed us of the ability, or need, to do mental arithmetic, so will Watson rob us of the ability to think for ourselves. Why should we? Just ask Watson.

Share This:

One thought on “The Watson problem

  1. “Just as calculators have robbed us of the ability, or need, to do mental arithmetic, so will Watson rob us of the ability to think for ourselves.”

    I feel your concern – for me it’s the ability to memorize phone numbers which I lost with the emergence of cell phones.

    I refuse to use Waze because I don’t want to lose my own navigation skills. I prefer memorizing the route in advance and keep Google maps on hand in case of emergency, but I don’t want to rely on GPS for real-time navigation.

    The latest trend I see is that people (myself included) fail to memorize a lot of facts because google is always available.

Haven't had much time  to create lately. We are building my art studio in the backyard. I'm getting really excited. I probably won't purchase the cabinets and counters til next year. You never know though. If my old desk sells at the garage sale, I'll need to purchase something to work on :-)
