What Should I Do If I Get Robbed? Berkeley Professor Inspires Hachikō Hachikō (ハチ公?, November 10, 1923 – March 8, 1935), known in Japanese as chūken Hachikō (忠犬ハチ公 "faithful dog Hachikō" ['hachi' meaning 'eight', a number referring to the dog's birth order in the litter, and 'kō', meaning prince or duke]), was an Akita dog born on a farm near the city of Ōdate, Akita Prefecture,[1] remembered for his remarkable loyalty to his owner, even many years after his owner's death.[2] Life[edit] Shibuya Station as it was in the Taisho and Pre-war Showa eras (1912–1945) Hachikō attracted the attention of other commuters. Publication[edit] In 1932 one of Ueno's students (who developed expertise on the Akita breed) saw the dog at the station and followed him to the Kobayashi home (the home of the former gardener of Professor Ueno—Kikuzaboro Kobayashi[4]) where he learned the history of Hachikō's life. He returned frequently to visit Hachikō and over the years published several articles about the dog's remarkable loyalty. Death[edit] Legacy[edit] Bronze statues[edit] [edit]

Video, Slides & Readings for Sackler Lecture on Media & Science Policy Debates | Age of Engagement On Tuesday, May 22, I delivered a lecture as part of the National Academies' Sackler Colloquium on the "Science of Science Communication," reviewing the role of the media in science policy debates. The video of the lecture along with those of my fellow panelists Dominique Brossard and William Eveland is now available online. The lectures begin following brief introductions by Ralph Cicerone, president of the National Academies, and Dietram Scheufele, co-organizer of the event. I have also posted online the slides for download. I am back from travel on June 6 and will have much more to say about the many outstanding presentations from leading researchers in the fields of decision science and communication.

Back to Basics: How to Simplify Your To-Do List and Make It Useful Again The only flaw in most to-do lists - app or written - is the lack of a way to dynamically sort them based on the ever-changing priorities of our life. While I agree with virtually everything discussed above, what's missing - not from the author, but from the technology - is a flexible queueing system. Our priorities change regularly, daily if not by the minute. But a static to do list or one with simple stars or one using 1-4 importance indicators fails to do the heavy lifting. QuietSpacing - the time management method I developed seven years ago - is both a sorting and a queueing engine. The reason it works is because the queueing is dynamic. irememberSG » About Who are you and what is this about? irememberSG is the official companion blog to the SingaporeMemory.sg portal by the Singapore Memory Project.

Agenda-setting theory Agenda-setting theory describes the "ability [of the news media] to influence the salience of topics on the public agenda."[1] That is, if a news item is covered frequently and prominently the audience will regard the issue as more important. History[edit] Though Maxwell McCombs already had some interest in the field he was exposed to Cohen's work while serving as a faculty member at UCLA, and it was Cohen’s work that heavily influenced him, and later Donald Shaw.[6] The concept of agenda setting was launched by McCombs and Shaw during the 1968 presidential election in Chapel Hill, North Carolina. A relatively unknown scholar named G. Core assumptions and statements[edit] Agenda-setting is the creation of public awareness and concern of salient issues by the news media. the press and the media do not reflect reality; they filter and shape it;media concentration on a few issues and subjects leads the public to perceive those issues as more important than other issues.

How to Create (and Stick to) a Realistic Budget with Mint I use it with my BoA account. It's great, and the budgeting system is awesome, especially since I just got out of school and am living on my own with bills/loans to pay. I have two gripes, however: 1.
