Tamako Love Story Plot
The film opens on a tropical island and re-introduces the talking bird Dera Mochimazzi, who is narrating and recalls of the people back at Usagiyama Shopping District. Prince Mecha and Choi Mochimazzi are making mochi, and the latter scolds Dera for lazying in front of the prince. Mecha offers to bring drinks, where meanwhile Dera suggests new mochi ideas which are both misinterpreted as perverted concepts by Choi.
At the shopping district, Mochizō breaks up a fight between Mamedai and his father, Gohei, and is encouraged by his childhood friend Tamako Kitashirakawa. He muses that though not many have realized it, he is in love with said childhood friend, having known her since they were infants.
Later in the high school gym, Tamako practices baton twirling with her best friend Midori Tokiwa. After tossing it up in the air, she fails to catches it, the rod smacking onto her head. This, added up with her inability to catch a string phone with Mochizō and recognizing his feelings, indicates her imperceptible attitude to mature quickly. Meanwhile, Kanna Makinowanders in the school hallways; while doing so, a flyer of the Usagiyama Marching Festival catches her eye. She convinces the rest of the baton club to perform at the festival, wanting to make an impact for their memories.
At the same time, Mochizō looks over a film he and his club recently made featuring bears and an apple. While doing so, he becomes distracted and starts looking over videos of Tamako, noting that she looks more "sparkly" than usual since they've hit the spring season. His short-statured friend, Inuyama points out a booklet for a university, to which Mochizō replies he's applying for one in Tokyo. When both Inuyama and Momotarō question his decision, adding that he'll be separated from Tamako, Mochizō implies he will confess to her soon.
Following the end of the school day, Tamako, Midori, Kanna, and the additional member of Shiori Asagiriwalk home together. Shiori brings up the question of their future plans after high school. Tamako wants to continue her work for Tama-ya, Shiori is considering going overseas to study English literature, Kanna desires to work in architecture (while admitting though she is afraid of heights, she knows she'll be able to overcome this phobia), and Midori wishes to attend a local college. After hearing of their plans, Tamako notes somewhat sadly to herself that everyone has put into more thought to their future whereas she herself hasn't.
Tamako greets the shopkeepers of the shopping district she lives in, all of whom she is familiar with. She stops at the coffee shop owned by Kunio Yaobi for a drink. Meanwhile, Mochizō has just arrived home. At home, his father Gohei deliberately turns the other cheek, pouts, and leaves upon seeing him return home. His mother Michiko tells him not to pay mind to his stubborn father, and approves of Mochizō's decision of Tokyo. She mentions that it's better to hurry and confess to his crush, whereas Mochizō appears embarrassed and hesitant.
He decides to confess to Tamako via string phone. Before finishing his confession to her, however, he realizes he was speaking to her younger sister Ankothe entire time, explaining why the cup was caught in the first place. Mochizō decides to postpone his confession for later, and goes to the bathhouse where he coincidentally meets up with Tamako and Anko before they've gone inside. Startled, he drops his belongings, and is unable to respond to Tamako's curiosity why he wanted to speak to her earlier.
Though he tries to speak to her at school, this is interrupted by the presence of Midori. While he is waiting for Tamako, Midori reminds that until now he hasn't shared any classes with Tamako and criticizes him for always staring at her. Nonetheless, she tells him to keep it at that, to which he replies that he's going to a university in Tokyo regardless. Although shocked, Midori pressures him to hurry and confess to Tamako despite her statements earlier. Afterwards, Tamako and Mochizō arrange to meet up at the riverbank after school.
At the riverbank while the two are reminiscing, Tamako trips and nearly falls into the river. Mochizō catches her, though she quickly realizes he still hasn't released his hold on her wrist. He takes this chance to reveal to her that he will be attending a university in Tokyo, and that he is in love with her. Flabbergasted, Tamako excuses herself and runs away from him, forgetting her bag in the process.
Following his confession, Tamako stays shell-shocked for the remainder of the week. It distracts her from making mochi, speaking to Mochizō, or practicing the baton properly. Though she claims it is a fever, in reality she has trouble on delivering an answer to Mochizō. At gym, Tamako confesses her troubles to Midori. She notes that Mochizō wasn't like himself. There are moments when she has tried to confront Mochizō with the assistance of her friends, but none of them achieve her objective. Shiori tells Tamako of her own plans of going abroad to study English, and says that there is a first time for everything. This provides Tamako as inspiration to confront Mochizō. During this, it is evident that Midori is upset over Tamako's feelings for Mochizō.
When Mochizō returns home, he discovers that Tamako's grandfather is being rushed to the hospital. He comforts Tamako and goes with her. After it is confirmed that her grandfather merely choked on a mochi, Tamako and Mochizō sit in the waiting room. He tells her to forget what he confessed back at the riverbank.
The baton club perform well, though Mochizō does not attend to record it like he usually does. That afternoon, Midori lies to Tamako that Mochizō is leaving that day (when in reality, he is just checking on the university rather than entirely moving at the moment). This prompts Tamako to bring the cup phones and hurry to the bullet train station. Meanwhile, Midori helps Kanna get over her fear of heights, helping her see the view from the tall tree. Tamako stops Mochizō from boarding the train, and begs him not to leave. Giving him the cup phones and allowing him to throw a cup phone at her, she catches it.
Tamako holds it up and confesses that she loves Mochizō.

Airport-Uplands, or just Uplands, is a neighbourhood in Gloucester-Southgate Ward in the south end of Ottawa. It is located in the federal and provincial districts of Ottawa South. It is bordered by the Hunt Club neighbourhood to the north, the Blossom Park neighbourhood to the east, the Macdonald-Cartier International Airport to the south, and the Riverside South neighbourhood to the west.
Most of the neighbourhood's population lives to the north-east of the airport, west of the Airport Parkway. This includes the military community living at CFB Uplands, which was a large air force base in the 1960s and which still contains residential housing for military members.
Alta Vista is a neighbourhood in Ottawa. Its boundaries can be broadly described as: Smyth Road in the north, St. Laurent Boulevard in the east, Walkley Road and Heron Road in the south, and Bank Street and Riverside Drive in the west. However, the name is ambiguous, as there are several sub-neighbourhoods in this area, as well as a core Alta Vista area, (which could be defined as south of Pleasant Park Road, north of Heron Road, and west of the eastern greenspace corridor), centered on Alta Vista Drive.
Alta Vista Drive is a major street running through the neighbourhood, and shares its name. Both are named for their relative height, as the neighbourhood is generally higher than most of the city. Alta Vista is a highly residential neighbourhood with a strong community, several schools, churches, and community centres. It also has a vast amount of greenspace and parks, much of which is part of the Alta Vista Transportation Corridor Environmental Assessment. The OC Transpo Transitway also runs through Alta Vista, with two stations in the neighbourhood itself (Pleasant Park and Riverside) as well as two just outside (Billings Bridge and Smyth), serving as a vital transit link to the rest of the city.
The General Campus of the Ottawa Hospital, and The Children's Hospital of Eastern Ontario are located just on the north side of Smyth Road, in Riverview, while the Riverside Campus of the Ottawa Hospital is located at Smyth and Riverside Drive. There are two shopping malls in and around Alta Vista: the illings Bridge Plaza Shopping Centre at Bank Street and Riverside and the Elmvale Shopping Centre at St. Laurent and Smyth.
On 1 January 1950 14,605 acres of the then-township of Gloucester were annexed by the City of Ottawa, including Billings Bridge, Overbrook, Hurdman's Bridge, Ellwood, Hog's Back, Manor Park, Rideau Park, Hawthorne, Riverview and Alta Vista.
Confederation Heights is an area in south Ottawa, made up of mostly government buildings. It is bounded on the east by Data Centre Road, on the north and west by the Rideau River and on the south by Brookfield Road. Confederation Heights includes the Clarke Memorial Centre (RA Centre), the Taxation Data Centre (Revenue Canada), the Edward Drake Building (formerly Canadian Broadcasting Corporation), the Sir Leonard Tilley Building (formerly the Communications Security Establishment), Canada Post Place (Canada Post headquarters), the Sir Charles Tupper Building (Public Works Canada), Hog's Back Park, Vincent Massey Park and Confederation O-Train Station.
Prior to the expropriation of the Merkley Brick Yard in 1954, the area had been a combination of woods, farmland, quarry and brickyard. The arrival of Federal government departments in the late 1950s – early 1960s had a significant impact on the area. In 1959, the Fire Chief of Gloucester Township (the area was incorporated into Ottawa the following year) raised concerns that road traffic caused by the 1400 new workers commuting to Confederation Heights would interfere with the firefighters' ability to respond to fires from their station in Billings Bridge. It was estimated that daily traffic on Riverside Drive west of Bank Street would increase by 3500 cars.
In 1961, Prime Minister John Diefenbaker inaugurated the Sir Alexander Campbell Building, the new headquarters building of the Department of the Post office. The building, designed by architects Shore and Moffat was one of three which anchored the site. Public Works National Headquarters, opened in 1960 (Lithwick, Lambert and Sim Architects) was another. The third was the Sir Leonard Tilley Building. Plans to move various other departments to Confederation Heights changed over time. For example, Indian and Northern Affairs were suggested but never moved to the site. The new government jobs also drove the development of neighbourhoods and infrastructure (eg: Brookfield HS, opened 1962; General Vanier PS, opened 1963) in nearby Billings Bridge, Riverside Park, and Carleton Heights.
A plaza, with fountains and benches, spread between the self-standing cafeteria building and the Canada Post building. To commemorate Canada's Centennial, a sundial was installed on the plaza. The plaque attached to its base read "Erected by Headquarters Staff of the Post Office Department to Commemorate the Centennial of Confederation July 26, 1967". The fountains and sundial have since disappeared.

Report: The Obama Administration May Release Israeli Spy Jonathan Pollard
Max J. Rosenthal

Much of the debate surrounding the nuclear deal with Iran announced last week has centered around Israel's reaction—and what the United States might offer the Israeli government to tamp down its anger over the agreement. It turns out one of those things may be the freedom of convicted Israeli spy Jonathan Pollard.
Pollard, once a US Navy intelligence analyst, was convicted of espionage in 1985 and sentenced to life in prison. His release became a cause célèbre for many Israelis, and the country's leaders have campaigned for years to have Pollard released. They have been unsuccessful up until now, but the Wall Street Journal reported on Friday afternoon that the US will soon allow Pollard to go free.
Israel has been the leading international critic of the Iran deal—Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu called it a "stunning historic mistake" within hours of its completion—and the timing of the report gives the impression that Pollard's release would be an olive branch to the Jewish state. But, as the Journal reports, "[s]ome U.S. officials strongly denied Friday there was any link between the Iran deal and Mr. Pollard's prospective release, saying that any release decision would be made by the U.S. Parole Commission." Pollard has also been a bargaining chip in previous US-Israeli diplomatic spats, most recently last year as the Obama administration sought concessions from Israel in order to salvage peace talks with the Palestinian Authority.
Pollard is approaching the 30-year mark of his life sentence, and is eligible for parole for the first time on November 21, 2015.

Obama Hits Back at Critics of Iran Nuclear Deal
The Technical Experts Weigh In, And They're Pretty Impressed With the Iran Deal


Okay. It seems like absolutely no one bought my last post. So I'm going to do the only prudent thing and concede defeat.
But before I give up entirely, let me say two things. First, a quick note from my editor at the New Yorker. He points out that the piece I wrote for the magazine on plagiarism a year and a half ago—which I linked to in the last post—was a far more subtle and sophisticated version of the half-baked argument I came up with this time around. So if you really want to know how I feel about plagiarism and intellectual property, please take the time to read it.
Second, a small attempt at defending myself. I didn't mean to be condescending towards teen-lit or any other kind of genre fiction. I'm a spy novel nut. I have read every thriller in the airport bookstore. My point was simply that genre fiction is by definition derivative. So you can't judge a work of genre fiction simply on the extent to which it resembles other genre fiction—because of course it does. In the spy thriller I just read, the bad guy is torturing the hero and getting no where. He tells this to the head bad-guy who says—and I'm guessing that everyone who has ever read a thriller will know what's coming next: "Don't worry. He'll talk. They always do."
Does the fact that I've read that exact line in at least five other thrillers spoil the fun? Not really. Did the writer "steal" that line from someone else? Sure. That's what a cliche is: it's what we call plagiarism the sixth or seventh time around. The issue is what else the writer did with the story: did he take that cliche and the conventions of the genre and add something to it of value or originality? I guess that's what I want to know about the "Opal" book before I condemn it.
I agree that certain lines that were allegedly "plagiarized" actually are cliches, not only of the teen/ chicklit genre but even of Stephen King novels.
I read your New Yorker piece at the time it was published and found it fairly convincing -- as you said, much more so than your post.
Incidentally, the practice you mentioned of regional papers' taking a news story from a major newspaper and merely rewriting it to avoid plagiarism seems niggardly -- why not just reprint it off the wire, giving credit where due?
"Don't worry. He'll talk. They always do." is a far cry from the paragraph's worth of obvious *borrowed* sentence structure (a.k.a. plagiarism).
while the genre is keeping me (and everyone else) from becoming overly upset, we should still just call a spade a spade and be done with it.
btw malcolm, feel free to use the href tag on your own blog. all the girls dig it.
Actually, I agreed with most your post the first time around. Don't bail on me now.
I don't necessarily exactly agree with argument, but I do think it shines a much needed light on our conception of originality. In some abstract sense we seem to have this idea that originality means something that's never been thought of before. That's one conception of originality, but taken to its extreme, becomes absurd. Everything is borrowed. Everything builds off of what came before it. We can only make something intelligible to others as a worthwhile instance of originality by the use of shared reference points.
To take a counterpoint, the Japanese idea of originality is quite different. You'll notice, if you take a look at the list of Nobel prize winners for instance, that despite their technological prowess, the Japanese have never really been represented as such in terms of Nobel laureates. To paint with broad brushstrokes, the Japanese are more inclined to modify than to start from scratch.
In a social psychology experiment done some time in the past decade by Hazel Markus and her students, they asked Japanese and American students to look at a photograph of a lego "artwork" and to make their own original design using the same lego pieces. While Americans tended to make things that were very different from the model they were shown, and judged pieces that were more dissimilar from the original to be more creative, the Japanese did the opposite. To them, the pieces they held to be the most creative were those that appeared to be only slight variations on the theme of the model.
I guess what I'm trying to say is that, while I have problems with Viswanathan's actions, we as a society sometimes hold an unrealistic ideal of originality. Viswanathan may not have given credit to the original author of her words as she should have, but in some form or another, just about everyone else is guilty of the same thing at a sometimes less-easy-to-detect level of analysis. I really don't think there's anything wrong with that. Our attempt to deny that copying happens in even the most original cases is based on an idealized conception of originality that doesn't really exist.
Not all genre fiction is created equal, mind.
And, yes, the Kinkos line was funny.
"My point was simply that genre fiction is by definition derivative."
Not true. This statement is a perfect example of a stereotype: it assigns a characteristic to all members of a group, based on misinformation and/or exposure to a few examples. A full discussion of genre fiction is probably beyond the scope of this thread, but there are many places on the web where you can learn more, if you are so inclined.
"The issue is what else the writer did with the story: did he take that cliche and the conventions of the genre and add something to it of value or originality? I guess that's what I want to know about the "Opal" book before I condemn it."
The issue is not whether _Opal_ does something new with the genre; the issue is whether it contains passages identifiable as having come from a specific source. A novel can be entirely conventional without being an example of plagiarism. If you want to argue that the cited textual resemblances qualify as ordinary genre cliches, you need to find similar passages in many other novels. If you can do that, your argument will gain a lot of weight.
Well, you saved me having to write the definitive counterargument, constructed from phrases lifted from your earlier piece and the blog entry. So I thank you for that.
More to the point, and not to encourage people to blog with wreckless disregard to sense, but I think this is a good example of what a blog might be supposed to be "for": trying out ideas that may subsequently appear, in the light of reader examination, less than stellar. And then changing one's course when one gets shown the light.
I *do* think there's a good point about cultural re-use of material in your overall train of thought. There's no question, for instance, that the situation regarding sampling in recorded music these days is indefensible. And there's probably an argument to be made that if the object is the "best" literature, then letting pieces pass through several authors (as with epic poetry) probably gets you further than letting the first hack sue the second into a career driving taxis.
But somehow we have to address what happens when some fresh new face on the literary scene turns out to have borrowed a pastiche of work from other authors without credit. (Perhaps its as simple as just giving credit). And maybe what happened here wasn't the worst--the borrowing was acknowledged, the current edition withdrawn, and the writer shown the door (oh, wait, that last didn't happen, did it?).
I didn't agree with every word of your assertion, but I totally agree with what you said and I'm actually a bit disappointed that you've retracted an idea that I feel really just needed some refinement.
Loved the Kinko's line! But "alright" instead of "all right"? I know you're not a 19th century Englishman -- do Canadians really spell it that way?
i agree that genre fiction is by definition, to some degree derivative. and yes, a cliche is just plagarism the sixth or seventh time around; however, when someone has blatently copied as many as thirty individual passages from someone else's novel, then this is an entirely different matter. kaavya said herself in her interview with the hindu (one of indian's leading newspapers) that she didn't enjoy the writing process and that she wished she could just time travel forward straight to the promoting. what kind of author says that?
I think the key issue, which fascinates me, is "what's going on in the minds of plagiarists?" i.e., what makes them think they won't get caught?
Is it just a matter of time management? They get a contract to write something, leave it to the last minute, then go a little crazy trying to meet the deadline?
Is there perhaps some kind of mental state where they don't know they're plagiarising something they read earlier? Something more subtle like, they think they're paraphrasing, but they're actually quoting verbatim, due to stress?
Points for Kinkos, I'll give you that.
I agree with the jist of your original argument. The furor that has errupted is totally insane. She definately shouldn't have take as a direct of influence from the other books as is now apparent. Let the poor girl sleep.
The original article does make a very fine point about our obsession with plagarism.
I thought your post was right-on. Not because I approve of plagiarism but because it illustrated both sides of it.
If I started a book with "He woke with a start from his bed" - I'm sure there are hundreds of books with that line. But the author was definitely copying line for line.
It was almost like one of those writing class assignments where students are told to "copy the style" and the student copied the words.
But still, GREAT post - and I forwarded it to a local reporter who had been arguing about how horrible all of this "non-attribution" is in the current world.
And I loved the comment about kinko's.
This is definitely a tempest in a teapot. Shakespeare "plagiarized" most of what we now accept as his original works. His gift was in burnishing the "original" (most of which probably was also plagiarized at some level) with a poetic and dramaturgical sophistication that is largely unmatched. I guess that gets him off the hook. But I generally agree with the point that there are different classes of similarity in works. When genre fiction is similar, it's likely driven as much by the genre as by anything else. Similarity doesn't prove plagiarism. Correlation will be high in genre fiction, but that doesn't prove causation (i.e., stealing). In non-fiction biographies or essays, liberating passages without attribution goes against the academic code, and is clearly avoidable, so is much more aptly called "plagiarism." To stigmatize an author of genre fiction over this seems wrong. It's more interesting to me that the work that was supposedly so "original" that it was plagiarized was, essentially, pedestrian genre fiction -- nice to read for some, but a dime a dozen on the book shelves, especially in the age range these books are targeting. What exactly is being defended here?
HA HA. Don't backtrack too much. People are often going to take a contrarian tone in comments by reflex. And there is no sense in jumping on a bandwagon.
I thought I was a hardened cynic. But apparently I must be naive, because apparently I am one of the few who is willing to give her the benefit of the doubt.
Perhaps most people aren't so absentminded as to mistake someone else's words for their own. But some people are quite capable of doing exactly that--unconsciously.
I thought Seinfeld solved this one a long time ago with the Ziggy cartoon episode.
I think the category "genre fiction" is problematic; it suggests that there's some fiction that can't be reduced to genre because it is somehow a true expression of the author's "individuality," while other kinds of writing are only variations on a theme. I think this is a better description of how books are marketed than of how they are written. And what gets labeled a genre is totally colored by categories like race and gender (i.e., "ethnic literature," "chick lit," etc.).
This article proves Viswanathan's a crappy writer, but the idea that these "borrowings" (vs. those from the McCafferty book, which are much more clear-cut) are actionable is just silly.
I'd like to steal the Kinko's line, actually, regardless of how one might characterize that act. It's a good line indeed, thanks.
Teaching freshman college English is very instructive on this issue. Eighteen-year-olds often have a mind-numbingly cliché repertoire of introductory sentences, like, "In today's society, we as humans tend to think that x" or "Love. What is love? I have been asked to define it and I'll define it now. Love is when you feel..." These aren't examples of plagiarisms, just because I've seen a hundred papers that start with each of those lines. They're what I often call "freshmanese" -- phrases only 17-19-y.o.s are likely to use and that mean precisely nothing.
I can tell the difference between cliche and plagiarism because the energy of the writer's own voice suddenly changes, takes on new cadences, and jogs out away from where I thought the writer was going. Plagiarism is startlingly common among 17-19-y.o.s because they have not yet developed confidence in their writerly voice. They often can't tell when they are using their own words or someone else's. How many papers have I gotten in which some writerly kid yanks a line or two from "Fight Club" without knowing he's done it? "That's my style," he says. "Actually, that's Palahniuk's style, hon." Although I was a writerly, precocious teen myself, I'm glad no one published my work, as I'm sure it owed a frightening amount to Irvine Welsh.
I mostly agreed with your original post as well -- though, as an editor of genre fiction, I thought you came across as a bit too dismissive.
What I think happened to Viswanathan is that she was a very young, very inexperienced writer, writing a novel in a cliche-ridden genre, for a packager that was geared to create the same kind of book over and over again. All of those factors added up to a book that was not only derivative (which was to be expected), but far too obviously derivative, and derivative of far too specific things.
Of course, now that she's the subject of a feeding frenzy, we're seeing just how many influences one book can have. That's interesting to follow, but I do have to wonder how any work of fiction would fare when looked at that closely.
The greatest artist have always stolen - it's the ones who do it too obviously that we punish.
Right, but the salient point here is that teen literature is NOT genre lit, at least not in the sense that spy novels are.
You can argue that OPAL MEHTA and SLOPPY FIRSTS are both chick lit (as E. Lockhart pointed out, Ms. McCafferty's novels are published for adults, not teenagers), and that chick lit is a genre.
But I don't see what OPAL MEHTA has in common with, say, a sprawling, 550-page metanovel about death and narrative, like THE BOOK THIEF.
All those two books have in common is that they are both published (and, arguably, written) for teenagers. You can't define a "genre" solely by the age of the audience, or else you'll end up claiming that cozy mysteries starring cats share a genre with Reader's Digest, simply because they are both read primarily by old people.
Your article on plagiarism, however, was excellent and very well-argued.
All this discussion reminds me of an essay written by the argentine writer Jorge Luis Borges titled "Pierre Menard the author of El Quixote" (I'm argentine too:) ).
In that article, Borges tells of one Pierre Menard, a French symbolist, who had undertaken the task of rewriting Cervantes' Don Quixote as a product of his own creativity. Write it again, from scratch - not to copy or write another Quixote, but to write the same book, word for word.
Borges calls Menard's achievement "infinitely richer" than that of Cervantes, due to its modern philosophical perspective and the obstacles Menard overcame to produce it. He means that the modern context imbues the same words with different meanings.


Following the launch of the HTC Desire P and the Desire Q, HTC has recently launched another mid-range Smartphone named 'HTC Desire L' in Taiwan. However, there is no word from the company about price of the gadget and it has also not revealed whether the phone is available in other markets (countries) or not.
Coming to the Operating System of the device, for now there is no word on which version of Android will be on-board HTC Desire L but it is expected that Android 4.1 (Jelly Bean) would power the device.
The HTC Desire L features a 4.3-inch Super LCD2 display with 480×800 pixels resolution measuring 128 x 66.9 x 8.9mm, powered by 1GHz dual-core processor, 1GB of RAM and 4GB of internal storage that can be expanded up to 32GB through a microSD card.
While the Smartphone weighs 118 grams, it is equipped with a 5 megapixel auto focus rear camera with BSI sensor and LED flash that is capable of recording videos in 720p and comes with an 1800mAh battery.
The HTC Desire L will be adding its own Sense skin on top.

A low-complexity data-adaptive approach for premature ventricular contraction recognition
Peng Li, Chengyu Liu, Xinpei Wang, Dingchang Zheng, Yuanyang Li, Changchun Liu
Premature ventricular contraction (PVC) may lead to life-threatening cardiac conditions. Real-time automated PVC recognition approaches provide clinicians the useful tools for timely diagnosis if dangerous conditions surface in their patients. Based on the morphological differences of the PVC beats in the ventricular depolarization phase (QRS complex) and repolarization phase (mainly T-wave), two beat-to-beat template-matching procedures were implemented to identify them. Both templates were obtained by a probability-based approach and hence were fully data-adaptive. A PVC recognizer was then established by analyzing the correlation coefficients from the two template-matching procedures. Our approach was trained on 22 ECG recordings from the MIT-BIH arrhythmia database (MIT-BIH-AR) and then tested on another 22 nonoverlapping recordings from the same database. The PVC recognition accuracy was 98.2 %, with the sensitivity and positive predictivity of 93.1 and 81.4 %, respectively. To evaluate its robustness against noise, our approach was applied again to the above testing set, but this time, the ECGs were not preprocessed. A comparable performance was still obtained. A good generalization capability was also confirmed by validating our approach on an independent St. Petersburg Institute of Cardiological Technics database. In addition, our performance was comparable with these published complex approaches. In conclusion, we have developed a low-complexity data-adaptive PVC recognition approach with good robustness against noise and generalization capability. Its performance is comparable to other state-of-the-art methods, demonstrating a good potential in real-time application.

Q: These two variables are almost uncorrelated. What else can I say? I have two variables for some districts in the UK:

*

*Number of crimes per habitant

*Median yearly income

Here's what it looks like:

I would like to determine if there is a dependence between the two. I ran a Pearson's correlation test, which gave me the following result:
    Pearson's product-moment correlation

data:  income and nbCrimesPerHab
t = 1.3689, df = 315, p-value = 0.172
alternative hypothesis: true correlation is not equal to 0
95 percent confidence interval:
 -0.03353993  0.18548945
sample estimates:
      cor
0.0769025

As I understand it, the two are almost uncorrelated, but I am not sure how to interpret the p-value.
What could I do next? I am interested only in the crimes data. How could I determine their distribution? What more tools could I use?
EDIT:
As suggested in the comments, here's the same plot but this time with the mean

It doesn't seem to change much, but the correlation is a bit higer (and with a better p-value):
    Pearson's product-moment correlation

data:  income and nbCrimesPerHab
t = 2.0986, df = 319, p-value = 0.03664
alternative hypothesis: true correlation is not equal to 0
95 percent confidence interval:
 0.007318403 0.223310038
sample estimates:
      cor
0.1166938

A scatter plot shows the structure better, as suggested:

A: I think you need to consider two issues when interpreting correlations.
1) the p-value tells you the probability of observing an effect of this magnitude due to chance alone.  In your case, the probability that a correlation of this magnitude occurring solely by chance is 17.2%.  This is what it is.  Statistical convention typically dictates that we only accept as significant those tests in which this probability is < 5% (i.e., p-value <= 0.05) but I think it is better to consider the definition of the p-value as opposed to viewing 0.05 as a rigid wall.
2) the second thing to consider is the correlation coefficient, which is the measure of how much of the variation in one random variable corresponds to the variation in another random variable.  This value can only range from 0 to 1 with a maximum at 1.
Based on your comment about being interested in the crimes data mainly, I think you may be more interested in regression since you are likely thinking about income as a fixed variable and are mostly interested in how crimes are dependent on income.  Your correlation coefficient is rather low (close to 0) so regardless of the p-value not much of the variation in crimes corresponds to the variation in income.
Without knowing more about the questions of your study it is hard to suggest exactly where to go next.  The distribution of the crimes data can be visualized with a number of tools including boxplots, frequency histograms and scatter plots.
Edit (based on comments)
Since you are interested in exploring other predictor variables you may want to consider stepwise multiple regression. This analysis allows you to build a multiple regression model from a suite of explanatory variables by only including those that improve the model by certain per-determined criteria.  Multiple regression will also allow you to assess the effect of one variable on crime after taking into account the effect of a previous variable.
Given your list of proposed variables (in the comment to @Leo) be sure to test for correlation among your explanatory variables (e.g., income and age) because the explanatory variables of a multiple regression (or even a series of independent regressions) should not be substantially correlated . If there is a lot of correlated between the predictor variables then you cannot effectively partition the influence of each predictor on the dependent variable.

A: So you don't want to add any other variables in your model (average age, level of education, ethnicity, etc.)?
It may be useful to visualize these two variables on a geographical map. You may see some patterns from there (including correlation, which may be slightly "shifted in space").

A: Pearson correlation assumes linear relationships. It is possible that you have a curvilinear relationship going on.That can often be the case when income is involved.  A second issue is that you have defined yearly income in terms of the median rather than the mean.  That may truly be hiding some relationships that you need to see. I suggest starting with a plot of the raw values prior to performing a correlation test to see if it reasonably meets the assumptions.

Feds must now get a warrant to spy on your phone with a stingray device
The policies do not effect state and local police using the device.
Dell Cameron
Published Sep 3, 2015 Updated May 28, 2021, 1:04 am CDT
The U.S. Department of Justice says it will now require federal law-enforcement agencies to acquire a warrant for the use of cell-site simulator devices, commonly known as "stingrays."
"With the issuance of this policy, the Department of Justice reaffirms its commitment to hold itself to the highest standards as it performs its critical work to protect public safety," Deputy Attorney General Sally Yates said in a statement on Thursday.
"I have serious questions about the exceptions to the warrant requirement that are set forth in this new policy."
Stingrays are suitcase-size devices that enable law enforcement to track a suspect's cellphone and work by imitating a cell phone tower. The device, sometimes called an ISMI catcher, is controversial, not only because the government has been reluctant to reveal its use in the past, but because it scoops up vast amounts of information in the process, including the phone metadata of innocent bystanders.
The new policy requires federal agents to obtain a search warrant supported by probable cause before using a stingray, but not in every case. Exigent circumstances may include, according to the DOJ new rules, the need to protect human life, the imminent destruction of evidence, or the pursuit of a fleeing felon.
So does the Marshals Service get carte blanche on stingrays under the new #DOJ rules? pic.twitter.com/zSFyZTmXOw
— Brad Heath (@bradheath) September 3, 2015
"The Department of Justice's new policies are finally starting to catch up with the rapid advancement of this tracking technology," Sen. Patrick Leahy (D-Vt.), chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, said in a statement. "Today's announcement is a welcome step forward, and has the potential to bring transparency and consistency to the Department's use of these tracking devices."
"However, I have serious questions about the exceptions to the warrant requirement that are set forth in this new policy, and I will press the Department to justify them," Leahy added.
Earlier this year, aWall Street Journal investigation uncovered a U.S. Marshals program that placed cell-site simulators on small planes—with support from the Central Intelligence Agency—that were being frequently deployed over U.S. cities.
While reportedly searching for fugitives, the devices used by the Marshals would briefly identify large numbers of cellphones belonging to citizens unrelated to the search. The devices also have the potential to cause serious disruptions to a city's wireless communications.
The new DOJ policy does not place any new restrictions on state and local law enforcement that borrow cell-site simulators from federal agencies or pay for them with money from federal grants.

"[T]his policy does not adequately address all concerns," Nathan Freed Wessler, a staff attorney at the American Civil Liberities Union, said in a statement on Thursday. "Disturbingly, the policy does not apply to other federal agencies or the many state and local police departments that have received federal funds to purchase these devices."
A USA Today investigation this year uncovered as many as 56 police departments actively using the device. It has been revealed that, due to a nondisclosure agreement with the Federal Bureau of Investigation, police frequently conceal the fact that they use stingrays to track a suspect, in some cases misleading prosecutors and judges.
In Baltimore, public defenders this week said they are preparing to challenge nearly 2,000 criminal cases in which police failed to disclose the use of the cellphone-tracking device while hunting suspects of routine crimes.
A privacy activist filing public records requests on the device was reportedly denied information in late August by the Indiana State Police. The agency cited a possible risk of "agricultural terrorism."
The ACLU on Thursday called on the DOJ to close the remaining "loopholes," which allow authorities to use the devices without first obtaining a warrant, and for Congress to pass comprehensive legislation "to ensure that Americans' privacy is protected from these devices and other location-tracking technologies."

Story The Vienna Town Hall in the First World War
Yet again capital of the Monarchy: a larger population, more tasks, more bureaucracy, fewer resources

"Vienna is full", caricature of the housing crisis, from Der Morgen of 9 September 1918
Vienna was bigger than ever before during the First World War and never as big later. There were no censuses held during the war, so there are no secured statistics to analyse, but numerous indications show that the population must have risen to more than 2.4 millions.
It is one of the paradoxes of the war that Vienna reached its highest population numbers in the whole of its history just at a time when hundreds of thousands of Viennese were away at the front far from their home town. Hotels and guesthouses were overcrowded in the end phase of the war. The chance of renting a flat was practically zero. New arrivals had great trouble finding a place to sleep. The Imperial Residence city was once more a central hub and on a previously unknown scale: Vienna had become a barracks city for soldiers from the entire Monarchy; the central administration for war efforts was now amassed in Vienna. But the city had also been transformed into a hospital city. Alone by March 1915 more than 260,000 wounded had arrived. Most refugees converged on the city, because the capital promised a better chance of survival. After 250,000 refugees and displaced persons landed in Vienna in late autumn 1914, the Government stopped the influx. Vienna became the centre of the war industry and attracted a workforce from the entire Monarchy. All these swarms of people caused the population to climb to over 2.4 millions.
As with most industrial and commercial enterprises, mobilisation in July 1914 also caused a caesura in Viennese municipal administration and operations. In 1914 the numbers of personnel employed by the municipal corporation came to about 43,000 civil servants and employees. Half of all employees from the tram transport system alone were enlisted, 6,000 men. There was an acute shortage in the workforce. Temporary workers were planned to fill the gaps. Starting in 1915, primarily women substituted men, but only as a temporary measure until the men came back from the front. The most popular figure of the "Kriegsfrauendienst" – women's war service – was the city tram conductress. Pensioned-off civil servants were called back to their workplace. Teachers at schools had to take over other tasks besides their classes, for instance the complex job of issuing rationing cards.
The planning, issuing and control of bread, potato and various other cards was only one of the many new tasks crowding in for the city authorities to handle. In many other spheres, too, the city had to provide for more resources to became available so as to cope to some degree with the urgent problems and acute requirements. The quantitative numbers quoted in the administration report on wartime show clearly that the administrative handling of monetary and practical welfare alone placed civil servants under extreme pressure. An abundance of new authorities was set up: the municipal youth office, the war invalid office, the housing office, the municipal health office, the workers' welfare office, the milk provision department, the department food welfare actions, the war kitchen commissariat, the advisory office for private affairs of enlisted persons, the central headquarters for war refugee welfare, the municipal headquarters for tuberculosis welfare, and so on and so forth. The new official building on Felderstrasse opposite the Town Hall was already full when not a single light bulb had been installed to illuminate the corridors.
Work conditions deteriorated in many regards. The increasing cost of living fretted away a major part of people's wages. Civil servants had to move together, office rooms were scarcely heated, light was saved, clothes and shoes couldn't be replaced. In September 1918 a two-day strike by tram workers demanding higher wages and better welfare provision paralysed public transport throughout the city. Despite this, the newly established war kitchen in the Felderstrasse office building improved matters to a certain degree in daily provisioning.

Society at war
Flight and deportation
Millions of people fled during the war from the fighting and the marauding soldiers. The situation was particularly dramatic in ethnically heterogeneous regions on the eastern front. Apart from the invaders, local soldiers also attacked minorities. Hundreds of thousands of civilians were deported far away from the front and behind the lines, in some cases because they were seen as untrustworthy "internal enemies" and in others to exploit them as forced labourers.
Wounds and disease in the war
Daily life on the (home) front
How was daily life at home and on the front between 1914 and 1918? Was the life of a middle-class woman similar to that of a worker? Did officers experience warfare in the same way as other ranks? Or were the experiences of the population at home and the soldiers at the front too individual and diverse for generalisations?
Shortages and poverty
When the population reacted to shortages of bread and flour in January 1915with panic buying, the Kriegs-Getreide-Vekehrsanstalt [Wartime Grain Trade Department] introduced ration cards. Individual quotas were determined and handed out on presentation of bread and flour ration cards. But even the allocated rations became more and more difficult to supply, and the cards became worthless.
Gender roles: change/no change?
It is a widely held view that the First World War revolutionised the traditional roles of men and women in society. Photos of tram conductresses, female coach drivers and postwomen would appear to confirm this, as does the assumption by women of the traditional male role as providers for the family. But did things change that much, and what was left of the supposed changes after 1918?

Beirut blast raises urgent questions about America's leadership in the world
by Ahmed Charai, opinion contributor - 08/10/20 12:00 PM ET
More than 2,700 tons of ammonium nitrate, stored in a Beirut port warehouse, exploded on Wednesday. Around 100 people were killed and 300,000 displaced from their homes. The deadly explosives had been stored since 2015. Port authorities had begged Lebanon's judges to remove them, but political influence (perhaps linked to Hezbollah, the Iran-backed terror group that rules large swathes of Lebanon) stayed judicial action until it was too late. The shock wave was felt by earthquake detectors hundreds of miles away.
It was also felt in Arab capitals and Washington — in a non-literal sense. While the U.S., French, and British governments offered aid and money, a more profound question dogged diplomats and decision-makers across three continents: Without U.S. leadership, who will stop Lebanon from becoming a failed state?
It's a good question. Lebanon's currency has plummeted. Its GDP is projected to shrink by 12 percent, according to the IMF. Violent protests are rising, and the national debt has skyrocketed. This week's explosion is a symbol of wider, systemic dysfunction.
This isn't just a local problem. Arab capitals are worried about the spread of financial contagion from the collapse of Lebanese banks and investments. At the same time, Europeans worry about a wave of costly refugees and a breeding ground for extremists closer to London that Topeka is to Washington D.C.
Yet everywhere, over the past 10 years, I see chaos creeping in when America marches out. Iraq, Libya, Yemen (where the U.S. provided logistics for Saudi airstrikes), the list of failing Arab states is growing. And so are the consequences for the U.S. and her allies.
Meanwhile, America is distracted by two competing visions of its role in the world. One calls for reduction, the other restoration. Both are wrong.
One is "blissful isolation." An America without alliances and interests in foreign lands. Whatever its appeal, it is a 19th-century anachronism, a realistic possibility only in time before airplanes and skyscrapers — when the long-vanished British Empire kept open the sea lanes and patrolled the remote regions where extremists plotted. Isolationism is only possible when another nation shares its ideals of freedom, is willing and able to bear the costs and responsibilities. Today there is no other nation that shares its values that can shoulder its burden.
Without "foreign entanglements," America would have no one to buy its farm products, films, software, and its trillions of dollars of other exports. Its economy would shrink, and its jobless rolls would grow. An isolated America would be a friendless giant, powerless to thwart terror attacks that begin abroad or deter arbitrary arrests of its citizens traveling overseas.
While America can withdraw from Afghanistan and Syria, it cannot retreat from global affairs without something valuable being lost for itself and the world.
As a friend of the United States, I see what some Americans cannot. I see an America that offers a unique voice in the global conversation, one that warns about the persecution of ethnic and religious minorities, that insists on equality in trade and freedom for individuals. No other nation puts its national prestige behind such ideals.
On the other hand, I have seen what an engaged American approach can do to promote peace and freedom.
Jared Kushner has proposed a bold peace plan . It envisages strengthening regional development and integration by boosting the economies of Egypt, Israel, Jordan, and Lebanon and reducing trade barriers by supporting reforms to enhancing transparency and good governance in these countries.
Restoration of the old status quo is impossible. What is the way forward?
America and its many overseas friends' must-see old problems in new ways. Institutions that have failed to deliver positive results by objective measures must be bypassed. Instead of massive, multinational trade agreements that quickly become captive to individual interests, the U.S. should initiate more bilateral free-trade agreements, like the ones that it enjoys with Morocco or Israel. Instead of delegating the distribution of food or medicine to large international agencies, the U.S. should work with private groups to deliver aid in a cost-effective, compassionate way. America can reach out to strategic corners of the map with a shared interest in mutual health, prosperity, and peace.
Progress begins by rejecting the false choice between walking away or resurrecting unpopular plans. America needs to step back from failed intermediaries, not the world. The Beirut blast is an alarm bell.
