I have predictive text software on my cell phone
that attempts to guess the words that I will type.
I am curious because the words in the software's dictionary are not, what I would think, popular choices...
When I start to type "people"
I get "Pensacola"
Can my phone really think that's a
More common choice to be used in a text message?
When I start to type "I'd"
I get "G'day"
A contraction I've never used in my life.
(but I just might start)
"Still" is predicted as "7th" (I guess for 7th inning)
"Walk" gets "Y2K" (big news 7 years ago...)
"Synagogue" gets "symbioses" (a relationship of species)
"Vagina" gets "vaginae"?
(I had no idea that was the plural)
When I start to type "Christopher"
I get "Christchurch"
I had to look this up, it's a city in New Zealand.
Funnily enough, "gastrointestinal" it gives me off the bat...
But when I start to type "salary"
My phone in all it's infinite wisdom gives me a word
I've never heard: "Rajarshi"

Today I attended the first day of the Predict Conference 2015 at the RDS. I will not be able to attend tomorrow but I hope to return on Thursday.
The on-going conference Conference (organised by industry-leader Creme Global) is an interactive meeting. It will, over three days, feature leading international thinkers in the areas of Data, Predictive Models, Technology and Decision making. At the meeting, we will be discussing the latest progress in Predictive Modelling and its future - from Data to Software and Hardware technology, plus Predictive Modelling methods and the best examples of Data-driven Decision-making.
Talks from leading entrepreneurs, data scientists, technologists, investors, and decision-makers (from business and government) will include case-studies and hands-on workshops. This conference has a focus on Data and Predictive Modelling technology like no other.
The new 2017 emission PACCAR MX-11 Engine can be ordered on Kenworth T680 and T880 models with the newly updated Kenworth Predictive Cruise Control functionality. The update, which was made in conjunction with the launch of the new 2017 emission engines, provides truck fleets and operators up to a 1 percent improvement in fuel economy over the performance of the current version of the Kenworth Predictive Cruise Control.

Considering kayak fishing in Scotland is fairly new , no one would have predicted a competition this year . David took the effort and invited us to Loch Ken a 9-mile long freshwater loch in Dumfries and Galloway .This 2015 edition was a great success from start to finish .Each competitor had a task in hand , trying to catch many different freshwater species , measuring those and quickly returning them to the water . I drove early in the morning through hilly countryside , wooded area waiting for autumn to begin .Nine o’clock start in a beautiful campsite , everyone was preparing each kayak .Most people came from England , some Scotts ,myself and a welshman too .The weather looked perfect , no wind , no rain and light cloud cover .Around 25 kayaks ready to paddle out , the loch is quite narrow ,Glen and myself heading south east progressively .My plan was to catch perch and pike first and then go for a bream and eventually a trout .We paddled slowly exploring the margins , I cast close to the lilly pad and my first perch engulfed the tiny lure . I net the stripy creature and process and measuring the beast . A cool 13 inch and that’s a good start .Glen meanwhile hook into a pike , good little battle ,measure and release his fish .We paddle further down the loch and I try to maximise my chances trolling two smalls lures out . A very small pike took the lure and again ,processing and measuring the fish , I use a board in this case and the whole process is tricky with a live ,slimy fish .Two species now and then we process into catching some bream .At this time more kayakers have joined and we anchor in deeper water . Bait fishing is fun ,I fill up a good swim feeder with groundbait ,one size 14 hook , a maggot and a single sweetcorn . A little wait later and the fish are on the move . A first Bream reach the surface and species number three .We carry on fishing in the same spot , Kenny float fishing even manage a pike .The weather is fantastic , and none of us is actually competing .Watching someone catching fish is thoroughly enjoyable even if down the line all this could turn into a prize .Many bream later we are on the hunt again and now trolling for pike .I use a heavier shad for this task and hook into a fish , grab my rod ,reel in ,the fish gets closer , jump in the air and , yes it’s free ! Soon after ,a few paddle stoke further and another pike hit the lure .Again the small creature slip out of my hand ! No photo for those two fish lost and no prize .Everyone is having a great day and eventually we all paddle back to base .Time to report our catches ,fill up the forms and get all the gears packed in the car . Hot soup , prize to the winners and a Barbecue , a good friendly chat with all the competitors and just the time to head back home .This event was very well organised ,the weather was great , the fishing was tight and I am sure every one will love to just go back .Till next year 2016 then , Loch Ken here we come again .With the Video youtu.be/Rxa7IUI4BuI

"Continued warming of the Arctic atmosphere and ocean are driving broad change in the environmental system in predicted and, also, unexpected ways. New emerging threats are taking form and highlighting the level of uncertainty in the breadth of environmental change that is to come."

▶ Issued annually since 2006, the Arctic Report Card is a timely and peer-reviewed source for clear, reliable and concise environmental information on the current state of different components of the Arctic environmental system relative to historical records.
***************
"☞ Surface air temperatures in the Arctic continued to warm at twice the rate relative to the rest of the globe. Arctic air temperatures for the past five years (2014-18) have exceeded all previous records since 1900.
☞ In the terrestrial system, atmospheric warming continued to drive broad, long-term trends in declining terrestrial snow cover, melting of the Greenland Ice Sheet and lake ice, increasing summertime Arctic river discharge, and the expansion and greening of Arctic tundra vegetation.
☞ Despite increase of vegetation available for grazing, herd populations of caribou and wild reindeer across the Arctic tundra have declined by nearly 50% over the last two decades.
☞ In 2018 Arctic sea ice remained younger, thinner, and covered less area than in the past. The 12 lowest extents in the satellite record have occurred in the last 12 years.
☞ Pan-Arctic observations suggest a long-term decline in coastal landfast sea ice since measurements began in the 1970s, affecting this important platform for hunting, traveling, and coastal protection for local communities.
☞ Spatial patterns of late summer sea surface temperatures are linked to regional variability in sea-ice retreat, regional air temperature, and advection of waters from the Pacific and Atlantic oceans.
☞ In the Bering Sea region, ocean primary productivity levels in 2018 were sometimes 500% higher than normal levels and linked to a record low sea ice extent in the region for virtually the entire 2017/18 ice season.
☞ Warming Arctic Ocean conditions are also coinciding with an expansion of harmful toxic algal blooms in the Arctic Ocean and threatening food sources.
☞ Microplastic contamination is on the rise in the Arctic, posing a threat to seabirds and marine life that can ingest debris."

Race Director Homer Garich gives pre-race directions - The Linkville Lopers "Turkey Trot" Thanksgiving Day 5K is a predictive race, that is to say, when you sign up you guess your time for the 5K and whoever is closest wins - in this race the fastest runner might not win. No watches are allowed. The entry fee is an unwrapped gift or a cash donation. All proceeds go to the Klamath Falls Gospel Mission. There were 140 runners this year. What a great way to start your Thanksgiving Day - with an actual calorie deficit.

With its fluorescent interior lighting and its headlamps blazing along with its nearside trafficator flashing away purposefully RM 2071 brings a timely reminder of the past in this present-day view of Charing Cross with every other bus running along the Strand being either an LT or some other recent rear-engined 21st century shoe box operated by a driver only. Gone are the days of the 1970s and 1980s when every other bus that travelled along the Strand was a crew-operated Routemaster but then progress is not necessarily a good thing. When RM 2071 was new into service with London Transport way back in 1964 the likes of the Beatles and the Rolling Stones were ruling the charts and Mary Quant's iconic miniskirt made its fashion debut to the world at large; who at the time could have predicted that this vehicle would be still earning its keep well into the 21st century when back in the 1960s people thought that life in the year 2019 would involve everyday scenes akin to the classic Hanna-Barbera cartoon series The Jetsons.

Twitter Can Predict The Stock Market, If You’re Reading The Right Tweets
In a world where one tweet can send Wall Street into a panic, social analytics company Dataminr tries to be there first, scanning all of Twitter to find individual messages with the right combination of language, context, and location that might end up being breaking--and money-making--news.
Earlier this week, the Associated Press Twitter account posted the following--false--message: "BREAKING: Two Explosions in the White House and Barack Obama is injured." It didn’t take long for other sources to demonstrate that the president was fine and the AP account hacked, but it was long enough for the stock markets to take a nose dive. The Dow Jones and S&P 500 indexes fropped by close to 1%, the equivalent of hundreds of billions of dollars changing hands.
The incident may prove that Twitter needs better security and algorithmic traders need better quality control, but it’s also evidence of something simpler: News impacts financial markets, and that news is increasingly breaking on Twitter. Dataminr--a social analytics company with clients in finance, government and the larger corporate world--takes this dynamic one step further. They use Twitter to beat the news. “It’s the lack of someone who is a news commentator or a news source saying it,” says Dataminr founder and CEO Peter Bailey. “The point is the things that aren’t there.”
“We look at every user across Twitter and understand everything that they’ve published and their relative influence on any topic.”
Dataminr can find market-moving information not yet in the news because they aren’t limited to following some manageable group of friends or trusted accounts. They have access to the entire “Firehose” of Twitter’s approximately 200 million active users, and they use it. “We look at every user across Twitter and understand everything that they’ve published and their relative influence on any topic that we know and their local influence,” Bailey says.
The “we” that looks at that deluge of data isn’t Dataminr’s approximately 35 employees; It’s their algorithms. To understand how they work, it helps to have an example.
On March 8, a Royal Caribbean cruise ship arrived in Port Everglades, Florida with 105 passengers and three crew members sick with norovirus. When that news broke, it sent Royal Carribean Cruises Ltd. Share prices tumbling by 2.9%. But Dataminr clients had the news 48 minutes earlier.
The tweet that tipped them off came at 1:00 p.m., from South Florida news channel WSVN: "“Royal Caribbean’s Vision of the Seas cruise ship has pulled into Port Everglades after an outbreak of norovirus on board.” Dataminr’s algorithm found that tweet, and not by searching for "norovirus" or "Royal Caribbean." ”We detected a slight blip, linguistically,” Bailey tells me, again using “we” to denote the software. “And we saw that the source who published it was one that had local influence.”
“How much context can you possibly put around a tweet?”
The algorithm found that words within the tweet had some resemblance to tweets in the past that had turned out to be newsworthy, and that there was a clear immediate reaction to the tweet, though it had not yet rippled out to national news sources and market commentators.
All of these algorithmic calculations were made with great speed. At 1:02 p.m., only two minutes after the original tweet, relevant Dataminr clients got an email and an alert started flashing in the bottom corner of the screens. It provided not just the WSVN tweet, but an analysis of why it was important. “It’s like, ‘How much context can you possibly put around a tweet?’” said Bailey.
As for what clients did with this early information, Bailey says he is "contractually confined" from giving details. But Dataminr said at least one client told them directly that the alert save their firm money. Dataminr has always declined to name their clients in the press, but in a presentation at the 2011 Devnest meet-up, they did say that their clients included “three of the top five bulge-bracket investment banks, as well as a leading $15 billion equities hedge fund.”
In the case of Royal Caribbean, traders knowing market-moving news 48 minutes in advance probably meant a big one-time payday. But Dataminr also has government clients--they’re currently hiring three government-focused employees. It’s easy to understand state interest in Twitter intelligence in an age where "Twitter Revolution" recurs in headlines every few months. Just as financial clients use intelligence to further their bottom lines, we can only assume that Dataminr’s clients in the government will be putting the Twitter "Firehose" to work for their own goals, at home and abroad.

My father predicted that the world would end the day after my birth. The entire planet of Krypton prepared rockets and other supplies to survive. When the planet wasn't destroyed my father was ridiculed and thought of as a fool.
I grew into a man, married a beautiful woman and had a son, Kon El. Though the day after my son was born my father's predictions proved right. As Kon El and I visited my father, we looked out the window and saw a fire rising across the planet. My father quickly stuffed me and my son into an escape pod and said " Quickly my son, you two must escape!" He then hit the launch button and sent us flying without my beloved wife.
Our ship flew through the sky as me and my son watched our home planet be destroyed behind us. Kon El burst into tears as we soared through space. We eventually crashed into a small green and blue planet called Earth. We landed in front of a small house.

CRASH
"Honey! A space ship just crashed into our yard!" Yelled an old man "I'm gettin' my gun!"
"There is no space ship in our yard you're just having another senior moment."
"No that is definitely a real alien space ship I'm going to check it out!"
"Whatever."
The old man approached the spaceship and the cockpit opened. Two human looking people came out, a man and a baby. Startled, the old man said "W-who are you?"
The man replied "I am Kal El and this is my son Kon El.

As predicted by the ICU staff my weight is expected to expand and contract so the MB belt is too short to wear. In the morning I challenged myself to solve the linkage of MAC’s kind gift to me. I was only several minutes into making my fingers sore and my ability to figure what clicks when and why when my day nurse and asked what I was trying to master. She offered to take a quick look and after having removed a clear plastic protector flap on one side that MAC had noted, flipped one side and like a snake charmer playing music at a bizarre, she had immediately had success. We tried the belt around but with the IV weight gain that was impossible. As an aside, my protective lads below were a filled with fluid that they felt like a basketball about to explode. It’s apparently a common unpleasant side or in my case a frontal effect. I felt as if I was sitting on a long flight to Asia in a seat shaped like a funnel. Thankfully I was not anywhere to be the first male to note that symptom so they were very patient and understanding. I was truly expecting for a seam to burst in a fountain of red like in an old Japanese samurai movie.

In today’s Healthcare climate, it is crucial to understand the evidence available to determine which characteristics prevent walking candidacy and prosthetic fitting criteria. There are many characteristics such as age, level, etiology, cognitive ability and pre-amputation characteristics which have been identified, and are backed by evidence to form population conclusions. This presentation will help provide the US and international prosthetic professional an understanding of evidence support regarding provision of prosthetic care, for all viable amputee candidates. The purpose of this symposium is to educate the clinician regarding existing high quality evidence to support prosthetic candidacy.

The organisers kindly invited me to the Predict event at the RDS but as I arrived a bit early I took few backstage or behind the scenes shots. In case your are interested I used a Sony A7RM2 coupled with a Sony 29-135 full frame lens. The lens does attract a lot of attention which does allow me to to have interesting people … volunteers, students from Brazil, photographers etc. Of course my lens did not attract as mush attention as the two cars [especially the DeLorean DMC-12. DMC-12s were primarily intended for the American market. All production models were therefore left-hand drive. Evidence survives from as early as April 1981, however, which indicates that the DeLorean Motor Company was aware of the need to produce a right-hand drive version to supply to world markets such as the United Kingdom, Ireland, India, Thailand, Australia, New Zealand and Japan. My contacts in Belfast claim that 16 right-hand drive factory-authorised DeLoreans were produced.
The long predicted altering of the old gas canopy was underway on November 19, 2014, only I thought it would just be a simple re-skinning job! My guess is the removed corner will get a 45 degree end installed, in order to satisfy possible new setback requirements for the road that was just recently widened. If they were going to remove this canopy completely, seems like that would of happened when they tore the old building down.

This hand-built (by Ghia) car traveled the auto-show circuit as a sneak-peek into the styling of the proposed 1957 Packard. Alas, it was not to be.
Its extended nose found its way onto the '58-'59 Edsel and late '60's Pontiacs; its bubble wraparound windshield inspired the one on millions of 1959-1960 full-size GM cars; its backward slanted rear window was reincarnated in the "Breezeway" windows of early-to-mid-'60's full-size Mercurys.
