In linguistics, the Gunning fog index measures the readability of English writing. The index estimates the years of formal education needed to understand the text on a first reading. A fog index of 12 requires the reading level of a U.S. high school senior (around 18 years old). The test was developed by Robert Gunning, an American businessman, in 1952.[1] The fog index is commonly used to confirm that text can be read easily by the intended audience. Calculation[edit] The Gunning fog index is calculated with the following algorithm:[2] Select a passage (such as one or more full paragraphs) of around 100 words.
The complete formula is: While the fog index is a good sign of hard-to-read text, it has limits. Until the 1980s, the fog index was calculated differently.[3] The original formula counted each clause as a sentence. In the 1980s, this step was left out in counting the fog index for literature.

Contents Introduction: On Writing Style and Diction Tools Sponsored Links Reference Books Technical Notes Privacy Policy Contact Introduction: On Writing If you want to become a better writer, you need to do the following, in order of priority: (1) write a lot, and (2) seek ideas and inspiration, and (3) get the technical details right.
This web site is mostly about the third and least important of these points. It should not be a surprise that to improve your writing you should write a lot. If you want to improve your piano playing, do you really think that you should spend a lot of time looking at piano catalogs? Or reading stories about famous piano players? Inspiration does have a role to play, particularly if it can get you to write more. Lastly, there are the rules of grammar, punctuation, and spelling.

Tests Document Readability. Gnovies - Discover new Movies. The Age of Innovation - Innovation blog art. By Alan M Webber When this period we're in right now passes and whatever comes next arrives, we'll look back fondly on this current time and call it, quite rightly The Age of Innovation.
Beset as we are by serious and pressing problems, we run the risk of failing to appreciate one of the most incredible periods of creative output in world history. Take a look around you and make your own list of the remarkable stream of innovation that is going on all around us. It's been almost a decade since "innovation" became a business buzz word. Frankly I thought it was just the flavor of the month; I suspected we'd see companies trumpet their "innovative spirit" and then move on to something else when the marketing message got old. Instead, innovation has become a sustained business element. It's not a fad, it's a requirement, a new component in every company's way of doing business. Why? Here's a partial list - feel free to add to it or make your own!
Global competition. Earwax. Signs and symptoms[edit] Excessive earwax may impede the passage of sound in the ear canal, causing conductive hearing loss. Hearing aids may be associated with increased earwax impaction.[2] It is also estimated to be the cause of 60–80% of hearing aid faults.[3] Physiology[edit] Dry-type earwax Cerumen is produced in the outer third of the cartilaginous portion of the ear canal. There are two distinct genetically determined types of earwax: the wet type, which is dominant, and the dry type, which is recessive. A specific gene has been identified that determines whether people have wet or dry earwax.[9] The difference in cerumen type has been tracked to a single base change (a single nucleotide polymorphism) in a gene known as "ATP-binding cassette C11 gene".[10] Dry-type individuals are homozygous for adenine whereas wet-type requires at least one guanine.

What are Safe Ways to Remove Ear Wax? First of all, (My4kids1717 & anyone else who reads this) *never* put *anything* into anyone’s ears into which “tubes” have been surgically placed or on which surgery has been performed, or if you have had or suspect you have unhealed injury or eardrum damage, without your doctor’s approval to do so. And *always* follow your doctor’s instructions for care of your ears. Any opening in the eardrum, such as “tubes” creates a direct pathway for germs to enter the inner ear & potentially can cause serious infection, which can even become life-threatening in rare cases.
Moist, warm, & dark are the ideal conditions for proliferation of the organisms responsible for otitis externa (inflammation of the outer ear, also known as “swimmer’s ear”). Prevention is the key. Do not allow your ears or those of your children to become a happy home for swimmer’s ear germs. 1) Keep water from getting into your ears: 2) Get the water out of your ears: Chemically discourage germs that cause swimmer’s ear: Methodspace - home of the Research Methods community. How to Spark a Snowcrash & What the Web Rea. By Venessa Miemis It's been an interesting week, to say the least. In a lot of ways, we all just pulled each other up to a new frequency, I think. We've been sharing our ideas and perspectives of our personal discoveries for a while now, and all of a sudden all these perspectives assembled into an insight that helped me understand why the human network is so important, and why building a personal 'trust network' is critical for moving forward in society.
(For anyone new here, check out An Idea Worth Spreading post and comment thread as an orientation to this site and the thinking going on here.) So the past few days have been spent thinking about what just happened, and how we can keep doing it. I have realized what's happening here is that this blog has become a public learning community, where we are all literally learning how to learn. My takeaway of what this means and how to do it: 1. All of us have a trust network already 'in real life'. And they are modeling it online. 2. 3.
Innovation, Technical Risk, and Schedule Ri. By Dr. Mike Shipulski There is a healthy tension between level of improvement, or level of innovation, and time to market. Marketing wants radical improvement, infinitely short project schedules, and no change to the product. Engineers want to sign up for the minimum level of improvement, project schedules sufficiently long to study everything to death, and want to change everything about the new product. There are two flavors of unhealthy tension. What are the fundamentals behind all this gamesmanship? The relationship between innovation and technical risk must be changed. "If you don't know where you are going, you will end up somewhere else. " "Where we are going", our destination, is a solution to a technical problem which the innovation process winds us toward, and the probability we'll "end up somewhere else", getting lost, is technical risk. The key to getting there is problem definition.
