Recursive Deep Models for Semantic Compositionality Over a Sentiment Treebank Deeply Moving: Deep Learning for Sentiment Analysis This website provides a live demo for predicting the sentiment of movie reviews. Most sentiment prediction systems work just by looking at words in isolation, giving positive points for positive words and negative points for negative words and then summing up these points. That way, the order of words is ignored and important information is lost. This movie was actually neither that funny, nor super witty. The underlying technology of this demo is based on a new type of Recursive Neural Network that builds on top of grammatical structures. Paper Title and Abstract Recursive Deep Models for Semantic Compositionality Over a Sentiment Treebank Semantic word spaces have been very useful but cannot express the meaning of longer phrases in a principled way.

RCMP clash with Mi'kmaq fracking protestors: Who provoked whom? -The Common Sense CanadianThe Common Sense Canadian photo: Jen Choi/CBC They may call themselves the Mi’kmaq Warrior Society, but from all indications, this group of indigenous peoples was leading a peaceful protest against fracking in their territory when a platoon of heavily-armed, camouflaged RCMP officers descended upon their camp in Rexton, New Brunswick, early this morning. The officers were enforcing an injunction against a two-week-long blockade of shale gas exploration activities by a subsidiary of Houston-based Southwestern Energy. Heavy-handed tactics APTN has been reporting on the heavy-handed tactics deployed by the RCMP on the peaceful gathering – including the use of dogs and firing of rubber bullets at protestors from the trees surrounding the camp. APTN reporter Ossie Michelin says she heard one of the officers shout: Crown land belongs to the government, not to fucking natives. It is really very volatile. Not a criminal problem, but a political one Government sitting on sidelines Another Oka? Ms. About the Author Damien Gillis

Earth First! Newswire | Media from the Frontlines of Ecological Resistance. from Negotiation is Over! Just as I was first really getting to know Eldon, we suddenly lost him recently. He had promised to get down to Florida and stand with me to fight the University of Florida. Sadly, that never came to pass. His widower, Katie Brown, today published the following words spoken by Eldon knowing that I would relate. [The following is a passage written by Eldon Brown] When I was running these streets punishing these bitch-ass drug dealers, all you fake ass people was talking about how I should be put away, and how I won’t make it to see the age 25.

The Personality Page Sources to check later Body Language Signals: Eye Directions, Pupils Warning! Reading body language is like listening to someone. Listed here are the possible meanings of many different body language signs. To avoid getting it wrong, please start with the short section “How Can You Read What People Think?” at the bottom of this page. The Eyes (Part II) - Squint during a conversation –> showing interest - Looking away –> possibly shy –> curious about the surroundings (some people naturally observe their environment more than others) –> showing interest in your other movements. Otherwise, it may be a sign that this person is attracted to you… Basically, looking at other parts of your body is part of the unconscious assessment people make about how suitable you are as a mate… Whether you like it or not, we all do this. How To Read Eye Directions Without going too deep into neuroscience, let’s look at how a person’s eye directions can tell you what they are actually thinking. You have probably heard that there are two main parts to the brain: How can you use this? Why?
The Expert's Report that Damns the Northern Gateway Pipeline Veteran energy analyst David Hughes calculates three reasons the project is bad for Canada. Enbridge pipeline construction in the Athabasca region. Source: Enbridge. A slide presentation by geologist David Hughes includes charts showing the wide discrepancy between commonly accepted growth scenarios for the Alberta oil sands, and significantly higher projections put forth by Enbridge and other proponents of fast build-out of oil sands infrastructure. The slides also include satellite views of the oil sands showing growth over nearly three decades. The Northern Gateway Pipeline will explosively increase the scale of oil sands production at a level not in the national interest, says David Hughes, one of Canada's foremost energy analysts. By tripling oil sands production rates above 2010 levels, the project will "compromise the long term energy security interests of Canadians, as well as their environmental interests," charges Hughes.

The Lost Art of Eye Contact We’ve stopped seeing each other. You and me. All of us. Our eyes may indeed be windows to our soul, but with our necks craned downward and our eyes focused on tiny handheld screens, who can tell? We hardly make an effort to look at the person we’re talking to anymore. When nearly every personal and business interaction uses a screen as an intermediary, it’s difficult to develop and maintain meaningful relationships with employees, customers and partners. Speak with Your Eyes We communicate so much with a simple look. Listen to Their Eyes Without looking directly into someone’s eyes, you’ll miss millions of visual clues as to what’s going on inside their head. Look for the “Tell” In poker, it’s called the “tell”: the habitual signal your opponent makes that betrays whether he or she is holding a full house or a hand full of nothing. Be Shifty-Eyed If you’re making a presentation to a group you need to look at everyone in the room. But Don’t Be Creepy
Environmental activists reeling as Keystone pipeline gains momentum - The Hill's E2-Wire Green groups are reeling after the release of a draft State Department report that seemed to put the Keystone XL oil pipeline on track for approval. Opponents of Keystone are furious at State’s environmental assessment of the project, which brushed aside of one of their central arguments against it: namely, that it would exacerbate clime change by expanding the use of oil sands. “The State Department’s conclusions are so off-base that they’re borderline absurd,” Daniel Kessler, a spokesman with climate group 350.org, told The Hill.Environmental groups vowed they would continue to pressure President Obama to kill the pipeline, but acknowledged the blow that Friday’s report delivered to their cause. The State Department’s report found that the Canada-to-Texas pipeline would have little effect on accelerating oil sands production and climate change. The assessment is not final, but could indicate the arguments in favor of the pipeline are winning the day within the administration.

Keystone XL Tar Sands Pipeline is Not a Jobs Plan, But an Oil Export Plan By Climate Guest Contributor on January 13, 2012 at 4:52 pm "Keystone XL Tar Sands Pipeline is Not a Jobs Plan, But an Oil Export Plan" The Oil Goes to China, the Permanent Jobs Go to Canada, We Get the Spills, and the World Gets Warmer by Danielle Droitsch, cross posted from NRDC’s Switchboard You’ll hear the GOP, the American Petroleum Institute, and the U.S. The debate over whether Keystone XL creates jobs is a convenient diversion from something oil company backers don’t want you to know: this is an export pipeline to help them access foreign markets and bypass the United States. CNN posted this interview with a TransCanada executive who admits that permanent jobs would only number “in the hundreds, certainly not in the thousands” from Montana down to Houston: The oil industry is pulling a bait and switch scam with Keystone XL – offering it as a path to economic and national security when the pipeline is mostly meant for export.
