Presentation

irinka — Wed, 09 May 2007 12:17:16 +0000

There were two presentations about online study in our class. I think it is good idea, but only for those person how really can not attend classes. For example for pregnant or how has family and must earn money, but nevertheless want study or to get more education and even all-around education. For young people this online education not very good selection. Because they should communicate with different people in order to develop their mind and their personality. I read all entries about presentation in my section. And I saw that a lot of students like our presentation. (about preview of NIT in 2007) I ‘m glad to see it really.

Also I want to say BIG HUGE THANK to MR. EMRICH. This

course was very interesting and useful!!!!!

Surveillance

The word surveillance is similar to meaning of observe or heard some information from a distance by means of electronic equipment or other technologies. It used in order to control security. For example clinical surveillance or public health – related surveillance.

But on this page, I will write about new technologies in casino which related with security surveillance.The first casino surveillance systems were not electric . Games managers observed players and delers. With the development of television and video recording technology, though, surveillance we could detect malfeasance and to preserve a record of it for legal action.

Today, most people who visit casinos know about the Eye in the Sky -casino surveillance cameras. IT is consists of hundreds hidden cameras covering every square of area.Of cause there is an isolated surveillance room which is connected cameras with hundreds of monitors. This part of the casino is so isolated and even it has another entrance.

The main functions of the Eye in the Sky system are first of all, to record all the actions so that casino personnel can view the tapes to see exactly what happened in casino at any given time . The next function is to watch any live action play and zoom in on it.

Crowdsoursing

Some information:

Buzzword created in 2006. (‘’Buzzword’’ because it’s new word, and even there is no translate in Lingvo 10 such world

Crowdsoursing also recognize like: Fansourcing, crowdcasting, open sourcing, open innovation, crowdfunding, mass collaboration, collective customer commitment, wikinomics .

Enabling technologies: Email, blogs, wikis, online forums and mailing lists, Internet services such as YouTube and MySpace .

Practitioners: Procter & Gamble, Chipotle, Amazon, Eli Lilly, CafePress, Wikipedia, Flickr, Digg, Innocentive ,Cambrian House,iStockphoto,Mechanical Turk,Trendwatching ,Threadless,John Fluevog,Ninesigma,Second Life,Rent A Coder and many more.

Examples.

· iStockphoto - offers a big collection of images with professional quality for low prices. What is the wile? They enable anyone to upload their own pictures and earn royalties as people or organizations buy them. The service is simple and user-friendly: you register up for free, search images by keywords, select the ones you are interested, pay and you already get it.

· Ninesigma- the business model of Nine Sigmabut, they focusing on problem related with innovation management. Companies or managers can ask for solutions for problems related to services, information or software, hoping to make better the newness processes within their organization.

· Cambrian House – “Cambrian House’s aim is to discover and commercialize
software ideas through the wisdom and participation of crowds”. Created in the end of 2005 the company collects business ideas and lets the community vote on which ones to create, and help build it with inputs , and fees are paid whenever someone contributes with concepts or coding.

One of the products created by Cambrian House is Robin Hood Fund. It’s kind of like realization of wishes. You post a wish, and view how much it would cost to realize your wish, post it, and let the community vote on it and even contribute money toward the wish fund. At the end of the month the votes are counted , the money collected and the top wishes are granted. There are two kinds of wishes, good wishes and naughty wishes, nice ones are the “save the orphanage”, and frolicsome are “I want a Porsche” type, and the Robin Hood Fund service to both.

These are three example of Crowdsoursing. I think they’re works. In my opinion there are a lot of people how need different kind of help and also there are quite literally thousands of people( from Crowdsoursing) can and want to help you or your business, they can give more resources you can use to get work done or to solve your problems. Also its can increase productivity and creativity while decrease labor and research expenses. In return, most participants simply want some personal recognition, a feeling of community, or at most, a financial incentive.

Quotes on journalism

This quotation I take from different sites. I was very surprised, because there are a lot of quotes about journalism but they are negative. So it is very hard to find positive quote related with journalism.Or assume that I don’t understand it!!! Here are some of it.

Community is group of people held together by some common interest. It is the same like in a real or virtual world. Each of us is member of some community. Since birth we learned about it. For example, in the school we contact with other class or go in the dinning room. Camp, sport team, clubs are also introducing us to communities of interest. I think university or college is the first places were we can be part of more serious community. Also we belong to online community. It is cool to sit home online and feel strong connection between participants, have mutual interest or goals, to criticize or to get critics, to sense fun and disclosure.

Capricious words…

irinka — Wed, 21 Feb 2007 19:56:06 +0000

In this entry you can read about defects or mistakes which journalists make in their articles. Though, the style of material must be simple and colloquial, sometime it is very formal. For example, journalist afraid colloquial words or expression. Many of them thing that it can’t used. Encouraged abbreviate Not encouraged abbreviate speech is good, but not when it is absolute.

Colloquial style. Colloquial style irrelevant in official copying like declaration, diplomatic papers. Journalists shouldn’t avoid spoken words, if they don’t want scare away readers from their entries.

Term.Experts which learn about receptivity of articles, claimed that terms mustn’t be used in new articles . However, terms or professional slang are temptation which yield writers . They suppose these words make their paper more erudite. Of cause , it’s difficult do without terms , when you write about new information technology, or about new progress in physics, medicine.Not to all words you can find substitute. Writer, who care about his audience always must supply term with simple explanation.

Pleonasm ( superfluity of expression). Conscientious author avoid verbosity and claim to pass information with using least number of words. Cause of verbosity the main idea of material is losting. Question without answer.Editor must keep off blank in his article, for avoiding questions without answer after reading his work. Euphemism. Euphemism – when we called thing more softy. This example for sedative maneuver like euphemism: instead “die” we write “leave”. Sometime thing’s name are rude, harsh and unacceptable in respectable community, so we can change word to more suitable.
