    Do you think anarchism and it's principles are only an idea? Do you think government allow crime to exist? The anarchists consider that it would disappear in the atmosphere which is contrary to the one we have right now. Is that harmony which anarchism mean possble in society and our lifes? Is it possible in this times when the society is becoming more and more sterile?

    No matter how you look at it, she demanded justice. DEPORT HER TO AMERICA! The Rambo Granny of Melbourne , Australia Gun-toting granny Ava Estelle, 81, was so ticked-off when two thugs raped her 18-year-old granddaughter that she tracked the unsuspecting ex-cons down.... And shot off their testicles. "This old lady spent a week hunting those perverts down. Finding them, she took revenge on them in her own special way," said Melbourne police investigator Evan Delp. She then took a taxi to the nearest police station, laid the gun on the Sergeant's desk and told him as calm as could be: "Those bastards will never rape anybody again, by God." Cops say con…

  8. Dear Group, While reading through some aspects of Machine Learning, I got two interpretations for the popular training algorithms, Maximum Likelihood estimation(MLE) and Expected Maximization Algorithm(EM). I am trying to post both the options here as under. If any one of the learned members may kindly help me out, I would be grateful enough. I. MLE AND EM VERSION I We have calculated the likelihood which is, L(f;p)=Πp(x)f(x), where x€X and : f is a non empty and finite corpus on a countable set of X of types. The maximum of Likelihood function is, argmax(L(f;p)). After taking the maximum likelihood, we are trying to take the Laplace smoothing…

    Have you guys checked out Wikipedia as a news source? They seem to me to cover major world events extremely thoroughly. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fukushima_I_nuclear_accidents http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2011_Libyan_uprising http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2011_Egyptian_revolution What with over 100 references, it seems like a source I can trust.

    I've recently been awarded a 1-year scholarship in an independent UK school. When asked, I opted for IB curriculum - though I might not attend this curriculum as the number places offered is limited. I would like to know anything about this programme especially the general impression and experience of teachers and/or students involved in this. Thanks

    I'm studying at a Canadian University in my second year undergraduate studies. I have gotten myself into a position where there is almost no way out without consequence in regards to my academic record. Last semester, I ended up with a 3.6/4.0 which I was extremely proud of considering the general belief at my university that second year is the hardest year for science students. I was hoping to improve for this semester as I am aiming for pharmacy and/or med school (I have an extensive extracurricular profile to support my future application!). Anyways, I'm currently taking this introductory cell biology course, which is causing me SO MUCH grief. I honestly believe t…

    In the top right corner of the forum screen, there is a drop-down menu that tells the number of post that quoted you since your last visit. Once you click it, the number resets to zero. Why isn't it like an inbox where it only resets the number to reflect the number of unread posts on the list? Wouldn't that make it easier to reply to all your replies without necessarily doing it all at once?

    Today, I was once again reminded that most people don't actually know all the required information to have a driver's license. This time, it was because a motorist almost ran me off the road and then honked at me like I was a jerk. Ran you off the road; what were you doing riding your bike in the road? Good(actually bad, since you're supposed to know this to get a license) question! Most states require adult cyclists to operate bicycles using what is called vehicular cycling. That basically means you drive your bicycle exactly like you would a car: drive on the correct side of the street, obey all traffic signs/lights, use proper signaling, use a headlight at nig…

  25. Hi Folks, Newbie here, sitting in sunny South Africa. As usual, whenever I try to write something, I get hung up on getting started. I have a tendency to bog myself down with unnecessary trivia, or "deeper and deeper research" - good old Procrastination 101. So, who can comment here to give me a kick-start to beak my deadlock. What's the correct or accepted scientific term or language to use when putting forward a What if ? question. My approach will be: What if : ( a speculation / hypothesis / conjecture ) I state or pose a fundamental question about space. ( One I have pondered, deliberated/teased and tortured myself with for over 15 years.…
