Franz Josef Och, Google's translation uber-scientist, talks about Google Translate
March 11, 2010 | 11:56 am
This week we wrote about Google's Translate application and how it could eventually change the way people communicate, overcoming the language barriers that have long separated human populations. Franz Josef Och leads the machine translation (MT) team at Google, and has been the driving force behind much of the company's progress on the technology. The following is an edited transcript of a recent interview with Och.
How often do you add new languages to Google Translate?
Franz Josef Och.
Credit: Google.
Since October 2007, about every quarter or two, we've added a significant new number of languages. With each of those launches, we were also able to improve quality. So that in the last 2 1/2 years, we've reached 52 different languages, and I think we've made very nice strides in making the translation technology much better.
The last language we added was Haitian Creole. I myself am quite surprised that we can build MT technologies for very small languages. If you'd asked me three years ago, when would you have Haitian Creole, or Yiddish, or Icelandic, I would've said that with statistical machine translation (SMT), the challenge is how much data you have, so probably quite some time -- if it ever works. But now, thanks to the Internet and the availability of data there -- along with the improvement in algorithms -- we can build MT systems for those small languages and make them work reasonably well.
How is it possible to make the system work for a language like Yiddish, where there's not much text out there to train the machine with?
What made it possible is that Yiddish is very similar to German, and has a lot of similarities to loan-words from Hebrew and Polish. For those languages, we have large amounts of training data. So what we do is learn a lot of stuff from those other languages and then apply that to Yiddish.
How did Google figure out so early that it was going to be important to be able to translate the Web?
The language barrier is really a very big problem for communication. That's especially true for someone who speaks a language where just a small percentage of the information out there is available in that language. A language like Arabic -- where 1% of the information on the Web is in Arabic -- those people would have very limited access to information out there. The idea is, can we with the help of technology and machine translation -- can we break down the language barrier? So that anyone can access any information -- any text out there -- independent of the language.
When I joined Google, I actually talked to Larry [Page] about that on the phone, because I was concerned about why Google would do MT -- it's a search engine company. He emphasized that it's really core to the mission of Google, and not just a side thing where if times get hard, then MT will [fall by the wayside]. But people are very serious at Google about the mission and trying to achieve it.
It's now important in areas like search, where we now have the idea of cross-lingual translated search. If you have a question about something, you should be able to type a query in, and if the answer is in a Web page in a completely different language, you should be able to find that and understand the information there.
How close are you to making that a reality?
It's a hard question. In some sense, I believe we've made progress, and this is an exciting time for MT in the research community at large, but also here at Google. MT gets a lot more traction, more people are using it and it gets integrated into many different products. But on the other hand, there's obviously still a lot of work ahead of us. What we're doing is working on the core quality of machine translation.
So I feel my job is relatively safe. For quite a few years, there will be things still to be improved. Now, while the MT is pretty good for some of the big languages, like Portuguese and Spanish, for the small languages there's still a lot to be done so we can get similar translation quality. It will be a never-ending kind of improvement.
When you train the translator, you've got to get so-called parallel data sets, where every document occurs in at least two languages. Where do you get all of those translations from?
When we started, there were standard test sets provided by the Linguistic Data Consortium, which provides data for research and academic institutes. Then there are places like the United Nations, which have all their documents translated into the six official languages of the United Nations. And there's a vast pool of documents available there in the database, which has been very useful because the translation quality has been very good.
But then otherwise, it's kind of 'the Web.' Where all the documents that are on the Web that are translated contribute to learning translation for our algorithms. On the Web, the quality of the translation might not always be so good, so it's a very interesting and challenging research problem in itself to find all the translations and learn from the potentially noisy translations out there.
Our algorithms basically mine everything that's out there.
So it's sort of analogous to the way Google's Web crawler spiders Web pages?
It's similar. While the Web crawler is mining the whole Web and indexing it, then for the translation crawler is the subset of documents that include translations. The challenge is to find which texts are translated into another language -- and where to find the corresponding translation.
Do you use the data from Google Books as a source of translated data?
That's obviously a very interesting data source because a lot of books have been translated into many different languages. And especially for small languages where there's not that much Web content out there, there are actually books. But that area has its own interesting challenges, with OCR quality being an issue -- especially if you want small unusual languages. But we've started adding books too into the mix of data.
The Android version of Google Translate allows the user to speak to the application, and have his or her words translated. How does that part work?
The way we are doing speech recognition and MT are conceptually rather similar. Both of them learn from large amounts of data. For MT, we need to mine those translations, but for speech recognition, what you need is a speech signal that you tape somehow, and then the transcription. The more of the transcribed speech you have, the better the speech recognition quality.
You have similar learning algorithms. In translation we learn the correlation in how words relate from source to target language. In speech recognition, they would learn how certain phonemes would get pronounced.
Is it just short step from here to real time, speech-to-speech translation, a la "Star Trek's" universal translator?
To really do the integrated speech-to-speech translation, where you can have a phone call with someone and it would interpreted live? I believe that based on the technology that we have, and the improvement rate we have in the core quality of MT and speech recognition, that it should be possible to do that in the not-too-distant future.
Here's a short demonstration of the Google Translate app for Android:

Andy Miele (born April 15, 1988) is an American professional ice hockey forward who is currently under contract with HV71 of the Swedish Hockey League (SHL). He won the Hobey Baker Award, US college hockey's highest honor playing for Miami University, played for the Phoenix Coyotes of the National Hockey League (NHL), and captained the 2022 United States men's national ice hockey team at the Beijing Winter Olympics.

Playing career

Junior hockey
Miele played junior ice hockey in the Detroit area for the Little Caesars AAA U-18 in the Midwest Elite Hockey League before moving to the United States Hockey League with the Cedar Rapids RoughRiders for parts of two seasons (2005-2007) before moving to the Chicago Steel, and then finishing his junior career with 30 goals (41 points) in Chicago's 2007–08 season.  He signed to play college hockey for Miami University.

Miami University
During the 2007–08 season, in his first season with Miami, Miele played in 18 games, where he registered six goals and eight assists.  In the 2008–09 season, Miele was one of six players to play in 41 games while registering 15 goals and 16 assists, helping Miami advance to the Frozen Four.

In 2009–10, his junior year with Miami, Miele took his scoring to the next level, again helping the RedHawks advance to the Frozen Four. Appearing in 43 games, he was the second-leading scorer on the team, registering 15 goals and 29 assists, finishing above a point-per-game pace with 44 points.

As a senior at Miami, Miele was the team's leading scorer and led the nation in scoring with 24 goals and 47 assists in 39 games during the 2010–11 season. Miele went on a school-record-tying 17-game point streak from January 8 to March 19, during which he posted a total of 38 points. Miele was named the CCHA Player of the Month in January and February and the National Player of the Month in February. Miami finished third in the CCHA, and Miele helped lead Miami to win its first-ever CCHA Championship, the Mason Cup.  During the 2011 CCHA Tournament, Miele registered six points, including four points in Miami's semifinal victory over Notre Dame. Miele was named to the CCHA All-Tournament Team and was named the tournament's Most Valuable Player. Miele won the Hobey Baker Award in 2011 as the top NCAA men's ice hockey player, and was also named the USCHO Player of the Year, CCHA Player of the Year, and USA Hockey's College Player of the Year.

Professional
On April 2, 2011, the Phoenix Coyotes signed Miele to a two-year, entry-level contract.  Assigned to the minors for most of the 2011–12 season, Miele recorded his first professional goal and assist in his professional debut at Bridgeport on October 8. He was the leading scorer for the Portland Pirates, recording 13 goals and a team-high 38 assists in 69 games. Miele made his NHL debut for the Coyotes on October 23, 2011, in a game against the Anaheim Ducks.  On June 29, 2012, the Phoenix Coyotes re-signed Miele to a one-year, two-way contract.  During the 2012–13 season, Miele recorded 19 goals and 34 assists in 70 games. The Pirates finished second in the Atlantic Division and were swept by Eastern Conference champion Syracuse Crunch in the first round with two of the three losses in overtime. Miele scored one goal and two assists in three playoff games.

In the 2014 off-season, the Detroit Red Wings signed Miele to a one-year, two-way contract. Miele spent most of his pro career with the Coyotes' AHL affiliate, the Portland Pirates, where he recorded 35 goals and 107 points in 139 AHL games.  In the 2014–15 season, Miele led the Griffins in scoring, recording 26 goals and 44 assists in 71 games, finishing second overall in league scoring. During the 2015 Calder Cup playoffs, Miele was the second-leading scorer for the Griffins, recording three goals and 11 assists in 16 games. Following an outstanding season with the Griffins, Miele was named to the AHL First All-Star Team.  On July 1, 2015, the Red Wings signed Miele to a one-year contract extension.

After his stint with Grand Rapids, on July 1, 2016, the Philadelphia Flyers signed Miele to a one-year contract. In the 2016–17 season, Miele was assigned to the Flyers AHL affiliate, the Lehigh Valley Phantoms, out of training camp. Playing as a top-line forward, Miele continued in his offensive role, leading the club with 44 assists in 65 games.

As an impending free agent following a first-round exit in the post-season with the Phantoms, Miele opted to pursue a European career. He agreed to a two-year optional contract in Sweden with the Malmö Redhawks of the Swedish Hockey League (SHL) on May 3, 2017. During the 2017–18 season, after producing offensively for the Redhawks with 27 points in 39 games, Miele would transfer to another SHL team, the Växjö Lakers in time for the post-season run. He contributed 9 points in 13 playoff games to help Växjö capture the Le Mat Trophy.

Miele left Sweden after one season as a free agent to sign a one-year contract with Russian club, Torpedo Nizhny Novgorod of the Kontinental Hockey League (KHL), on May 21, 2018. In the 2018–19 season, Miele was used in top-line role, placing third on the team with 16 goals and 32 points in 61 games.

After two seasons abroad, Miele returned to North America as a free agent and signed for a second tenure within the Arizona Coyotes organization, agreeing to a two-year, two-way contract on July 1, 2019. In the 2019–20 season, Miele was assigned to AHL affiliate the Tucson Roadrunners. He made 58 appearances as an alternate captain with the Roadrunner, placing third in scoring with 15 goals and 48 points before the season was canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Unable to add to his NHL experience with the Coyotes, Miele was placed on unconditional waivers in order for a mutual termination from the final year of his contract on July 11, 2020. As a free agent, Miele immediately agreed to return to former KHL club, Torpedo Nizhny Novgorod of the KHL, signing a one-year deal on July 13, 2020. Miele collected 36 points through 47 games before leaving the club due to the Russian invasion of the Ukraine. He finished out the season with Lausanne HC in the National League, registering 4 assists through 7 post-season games.

On 13 May 2022, Miele returned to the SHL in agreeing to a one-year deal with newly promoted club, HV71.

International play
Miele made his international debut for the United States at the 2011 IIHF World Championship. He was one of three college players to represent the USA. Miele skated in two of USA's seven games in Slovakia, where he recorded two assists.  Miele represented the United States at the 2014 IIHF World Championship, where he skated in four games and recorded zero goals or assists.

He was named as team captain for the 2022 US Olympic Team, the first Michigan native to be so honored.

Personal
Miele is a member of the advisory board for You Can Play, a campaign dedicated to fighting homophobia in sports. Miele was married in the Summer of 2016 to his wife, Hilary and the two had their first child, Bonnie, on November 7, 2019.

Stupidity is dangerous. Put that stupidity behind the wheel of a car, or on a motorbike, and you have carnage waiting to happen. Watch!
I am sick to death of reckless, bad and ignorant drivers being allowed on our roads.
Just the other week, somebody crept into my lane right next to me, twice in the span of about 500 metres, causing me to honk to remind them I was there. This is careless and dangerous. Not checking to see if a vehicle is next to you before changing lanes isn't a mistake, it's the practise of a terrible driver.
The following video is a collection of dash cam footage from around Australia that illustrates how we have some of the worst drivers in the world. The drivers in this aren't making simple mistakes, they are intentionally driving recklessly, dangerously and being dickheads.
These people are putting lives in danger through their stupidity and knowing that many of them are still out on our roads is incredibly daunting.
Our system is too light on drivers like this, with many of them not even being caught, let alone punished. Yet we throw the book at someone doing 75km/h in a 70km/h zone. And while I agree with the rules against mobile phone usage and I am angered when I see people texting while driving, surely somebody quickly tapping a screen to change the song they're listening to is far less dangerous than these low lifes.
I think that dash cam footage should be sent in to police to be reviewed. That way we can get these idiots off our roads, making it a safer place for all.

Three years ago, Kraft Heinz communications manager Tina Wong was looking for a new agency and had a clear vision of how she needed the relationship to work.
With 37 live brands and running an average of 26 campaigns a year, Kra Heinz is a demanding, hard-working client that needs their agency to be efficient, innovative and reliable. Trust is also a major factor - their internal marketing team is made up of over 20 senior staff who have seen agencies come and go.
The Business Marketing Group was appointed to the account and the win sparked the beginning of a trusting, mutually beneficial relationship which has grown and adapted to the needs of the ever-changing market.
Launched 12 years ago by managing director Ben Cochrane, the Parnell-based agency is breaking down traditional perceptions of the dynamics between clients and their agency.
As Kraft Heinz is a massive contender in the corporate world, agencies were itching for the chance to pitch for the account. What was the difference that made The Business come out on top? They showed they could deliver the 360-degree work that Kra Heinz required with great attitude.
pages, including Food in a Minute, Wattie's, Heinz, For Baby, Chef, Good Taste Company, F. Whitlock & Sons and Gregg's.
Since the appointment, the way that The Business works with Kra Heinz has transformed, shifting away from traditional marketing as the relationship continues to strengthen.
Both believe in working in partnership, rather than the more conventional client-agency model.
What exactly does 'partnership' look like? One aspect includes Wong and team dealing directly with creative director Craig Farndale, rather than navigating through a process of account directors. The Business operates outside the traditional hierarchy of an agency – choosing to work in a flat structure instead.
"It's just really important to have open lines of communication, so you can be honest about when you're stuck and need help," she says.
Cochrane insists that this streamlined way of doing business is down to his pursuit of efficiency, ensuring the client receives an experience that works for them.
On a recent strategy and leadership course at Harvard Business School in Boston, Cochrane learned the importance of continuing to innovate and grow. But in order to do so without crashing or defaulting to a more traditional model, he says that laying a foundation of functioning systems is key.
The Business has been growing steadily since 2007, with a future heading towards further expansion of the team, technology, and services. Originally it ran as a consultancy, however as demand grew it transformed into a full- service offering which has doubled in size in the past two years.
The strategy for their growth is simple but effective. Work alongside clients, adapt to their needs and challenge the status quo, with a fanatical focus on strategy and business nous.
"The clients who just want to spit out traditional, prescriptive stuff and don't value innovation or have the culture to do so aren't the ones who are going to get us to the place we want to be. Client sales results are our trophy cabinet – and that cabinet is growing" Cochrane says.
As The Business has expanded, Cochrane is conscious of looking after his staff, with his aim being low turn-over and making sure everyone's got each other's back. Part of that is collaborating on creative ideas and strategies with the whole team on aspects of campaigns to make sure everyone feels like they've got a stake in all the work which is produced. For Cochrane, one of the most important things for an innovative team is to run with discipline.
In the last 18 months, their digital and social media services have been a powerhouse of growth. Alongside the management and content creation of all the Kra Heinz social accounts, the team also manages, copywrites and designs visuals for Fujitsu, Modica Group, Eastridge shopping centre, Selaks Wines, Jack Daniel's, Jägermeister, and Kim Crawford's local and Australian social channels.
The Business and Kraft Heinz illustrate how the future of a successful agency/ client relationship lies in nimble structures, a culture of innovation, an immersion in the client's business – plus an absolute commitment to honesty and trust.
This piece is part of a content partnership with The Business.

What is the significance of a "right of dower" in this 1830s era deed (Ohio/New Hampshire, USA)?
Working with 19th-century deeds, I often find the wife has executed the deed in what is described as an act of relinquishing her "right of Dower." (Corrections to the way I have described that execution are welcome.)
Below is an example of one such deed, ca1830. The relevant clause reads, "And I Asenath Preston wife of the said William Preston in consideration aforesaid do hereby relinquish my right of Dower in the before mentioned premises."
I'm interested both in what Asenath was "relinquishing" and why.
The deed obviously calls Asenath his wife, but is there any other meaning can be drawn from the wife's act to "relinquish her right of Dower."
As to the second part of the question, some context/back story. For ten years, we could not find evidence about how William Preston of Defiance, Ohio, had acquired the subject property interest in Rumney, New Hampshire.1 Knowing that William and Asenath had married in 1820, at one time I hoped Asenath's release of dower might provide a clue about when and/or in what hame the interest had been acquired.2
Graphic follows; click HERE to view a resizable version of the deed.
1 The 1829 sale (this deed) identified the underlying property only as "the lands which Jabes H. Weld & Oliver F. Weld conveyed to Daniel Easton by their deed dated 21st Nov A.D. 1803 & recorded in the Register of Deeds for [Grafton County book 37, p. 557]. Even intense research in the Grafton deed books did not provide any related transaction between William Preston and either the Welds, their business or Daniel Eaton.
2 At the time, I asked myself questions like this:
The entry for this deed in the registry book does not carry the wife's name (it reads, "William Preston to Collins Preston"). Is my understanding correct that she was not a "grantor" of the deed, even though her signature (or mark) appears? (Including that when I cite this source, the deed is described as "William Preston to Collins Preston," not "William and Asenath Preston to Collins Preston.")
Does "Dower" attach regardless of when the property was acquired (before or during a marriage), or would it only attached if the property had been acquired before the marriage? Only if acquired during the marriage?
If a wife releases her Dower, does that mean the property had been held by the husband as his "sole and separate" asset? Would the wife have had a right of Dower if she had been a co-owner? What if the couple had held the property as joint tenants (joint tenancy)?
What if the property had been held by the wife? Would the husband have been required to release his "dower?"

It might be best to split this into multiple questions.
– American Luke
@Luke, I wondered about having only one question and using the introduction "for example" to prefacing the other "questions" in the list. I'll try that; let me know what you think.
@Luke Perhap only the first bullet point since it doesn't have much to do with relinquishing a right of dower
@JustinY I'll change the term in that first bullet to from maker to "grantor"; perhaps then its reason for inclusion will make more sense.
@GeneJ It sounds like you're not asking just about "relinquish my right to dower" but "right of dower" in general. Is that correct? If so, I think the title should be updated to reflect that.
A Dower means that a Husband's estate or a portion thereof, could be assumed by a Wife and that she may be entitled to the use of said estate for her lifetime after the Husbands death. Generally, considered restitution for services rendered; such as, nurture and rearing of children. The amount of the Dower, or whether a Wife was entitled to it or not, was set by state statute.
The link provided below gives a broader legal perspective concerning a "Right of Dower."
http://legal-dictionary.thefreedictionary.com/dower
A release of Dower would be considered a waiver of this right or claim, expediting an alternate plan for the said estate.
Ezri RedikerEzri Rediker
In the last line, you wrote, "expediting an alternate plan for the said estate," but this is not an estate is it?
The estate as a whole. Land, crops, tools, buildings, accounts recievable, debt's owed, as well as agreements or contracts would all be in the estate. Say the right of dower being released so a son or a brother could oversee the affairs. That's the way I understood it. : }
In this case, she is only releasing her right of dower on the assets that were part of the land transaction. If a second parcel of land were to be sold in a separate deed, she would have to release her "right of dower" on that parcel too, and so on.
As US law was derived from English law, I suspect that in the 1830s New Hampshire/Ohio, married women could not be the legal owners of property. However, a married woman could still have interests in property such as dower, freebench, and widow's part. People other than the legal owner could also have interests in the property such as mortgage holders and trustees for minors. A purchaser would require a clear title to the property, so all parties with interests in the property as well as the legal owner would need to relinquish thier rights. That is why Asenath Preston relinquishes her right to dower in the deed.

I have some wives names on deeds in Ohio, but I think you are probably correct that there was really nothing more to be interpreted by the act (of reliquishing the dower). She probably would have done the same whether the land had been acquired by him before or during the marriage.

Moses Oisakede: Eleven Years After
Olamide Olatunji
On September 1st 1999, while travelling to the University of Agriculture, Markurdi to plead the case of some expelled union activists, Moses Oisakede lost his life in a car accident on the Ankpa-Markurdi Road.
Moses was travelling in the official car of the National Association of Nigerian Students (NANS). In the car on that fateful day with Moses (who was the NANS President) was Livingstone Akwanga (who also died in the accident), Kennedy Tabuko, Mike Igaga, Steve Ekwerare, Oluwole Babalola, Vincent Agada and Olamide Olatunji (myself). The car ran into a ditch and somersaulted, while attempting to avoid a pot hole. Moses died on the spot, while Livingstone died in my arms on the way to the hospital, after about 40 minutes, trying to get a vehicle to convey him to the hospital.
Moses Oisakede, who at his death was a 28 years old Bio-Chemistry student of the Ambrose Alli University, Ekpoma, had one philosophy of life, which was that "the value of a life is in its contribution to humanity" Between the time of his election at the UI convention in December 1998 to his death in September 1999, he was an exemplary leader of the NANS. Moses who assumed office at a time when the leadership of NANS was being lobbied and hijacked by big money bags and the government, strove to lead without any blemish. Unlike what obtains presently where NANS has been turned into a platform for personal aggrandisement, doling out awards to one discredited politicians or another, jumping from one government office to another while student interests are being attacked, Moses pursued the interests of students without allowing any distractions. He was always on the road, visiting schools, meeting with various schools management, always agitating for a better welfare conditions for Nigerian students and it is not only befitting but also ironic that he should lose his life on one of the numerous trips he undertook in the course of his stewardship.
Eleven years after Moses' death, it is very disheartening and saddening to discover that the issues which led to the untimely demise of Moses Oisakede and Livingstone Akwange are still prevalent within the education sector and the nation as a whole. These issues are; arbitrary expulsion and dismissal of student union activists, bad and deplorable conditions of our roads, poor state of facilities on our campuses and poor state of health facilities.
One of the common features of the military era was the expulsion and dismissal of student activists without due process of rule of law. It was explained then as a reflection of the national polity, since military men were ruling Nigeria, the Vice-Chancellors too were behaving like military men. But interestingly, eleven years after the departure of military men, the Vice-Chancellors are still behaving like military men. Scores of the student activists are presently expelled or dismissed from various institutions of higher learning across the country. Expulsion and dismissal of student activists rises as a result of intolerance on the part of the vice-chancellors or school managements to dissenting views. In a country where the minimum wage is between N5, 700 – N7, 500, you find a federal institution of learning charging up to N40, 000 as school fees (please how do you reconcile that), inevitably some people are not given access to education and a certificate. Meanwhile to get a decent job, you most likely need a certificate from an institution of higher learning. I am hard pressed to remember when last I read of a student activist expelled from Oxford, Harvard, Cambridge or any of the numerous universities that litter Europe (where the children of our ministers of education and all other political office holders attend) yet on daily/weekly basis student activists are either expelled or suspended in Nigeria.
Moses would certainly not believe that eleven years after his demise, the state of Nigerian roads are worse than they were when he was plunged into a ditch while attempting to avoid a pothole. From Sokoto to Ibadan, Maiduguri to Lagos, Enugu to Aba, all over the nation, the roads are in terrible and horrible conditions. Tens of thousands of Nigerians lose their lives and properties yearly due to the deplorable conditions of the roads, while trillions of naira are pocketed by the contractors and their collaborators in government. In every budget, the works ministry is allocated large sums of money and at the end of the year the minister in charge can not point to how many kilometres of road was built or repaired.
Eleven years ago, when we set out from Ekpoma, the aim was to get to Markurdi to attend the public sitting of the presidential visitation panel set up by then President Obasanjo to look into the various unrest in the universities and redress all cases of victimisation and injustice perpetuated by the vice-chancellors of the military era. Eleven student activists were earlier expelled from the university and the students' union was banned by the vice-chancellor, so the affected students did not have any mouth piece to voice their grievances to the visitation panel. It was therefore very expedient and imperative that NANS should be at the panel to present their case. Ironically, the same Obasanjo was a president for 8 years that witnessed attacks on student activists and acute under funding of education.
However, at this point, there arises a dilemma. The affected students had at a senate meeting of NANS specifically requested that Moses be physically present at the panel. The reason was that the vice-chancellor, Prof. Gyang had succeeded in bribing previous NANS executive officers who had tried to intervene in the matter. The expelled students trusted and believed that Moses would not betray them. The NANS senate thereby resolved and mandated that Moses should be physically present to make the case of the expelled students at the panel. Unfortunately, the timing of the panel coincided with the examination period at the Ambrose Alli University. Moses had to decide on whether to go against the senate resolution and not go to the panel sitting or put his academics on the line and head to Makurdi. The panel sitting was fixed for a Wednesday; he had exams on Tuesday and Thursday. Finally, Moses arrived at a decision. "Sistar" (he calls me), "I will go to Makurdi", I was quick to ask how he planned to do it without missing his exams and he replied, "If I miss the exams, I can still re-write it another time, but if I miss Makurdi, those boys might never have the chance to write an exams let alone fail it". How philosophical that statement turned out to be; Moses missed his exams and he also missed Makurdi, but at least, as a consolation for his soul, I am happy to tell him that "those boys" did have a chance to write exams, though he had to sacrifice his own chance.
Sacrifice is what leadership is about, but not so for Nigerian leaders. They do not and can not sacrifice anything for their followers. That is why the senate president earns N88 million per month, while minimum wage is N7,500 per month. Nigerian leaders can not sacrifice, that is why some weeks back, the federal executive council, voted about 23 billion naira for the purchase of three aircrafts to add to the presidential fleet, when the entire nation is in darkness and factories are running on generators. Recently, the British Prime Minister travelled to attend a conference via rail, according to him "the recent economic crisis has made my government cut down on expenses". Can you imagine President Goodluck travelling to Cameroon by rail, (please spit it out).
I remember very vividly the song which was composed and rendered with solemnity by the students of Ambrose Alli University at the burial of Moses Oisakede.
Moses don die o!
Alele ku ele
If dem no expel us, Moses no go die
If dem give us good roads, Moses no go die
If dem build hospitals, Livingstone no go die
Na now u go know say government people bad
Simple condolence dem no fit to send
Alele ku ele.
It is a pity that eleven years ago, we are still at where we were, perambulating!

Taking Care of Your Child's Teeth: An Age-by-Age Guide
The Simple Truth About Colic
Here's to a Healthy Start!
Take small steps with Healthier TN for building a better tomorrow.
by Meena Viswanathan
Down to Earth 2016
Did you know that Tennessee is one of the best places in America to live and work but for the past two decades it has been ranked among the 10 least healthy states?
This is because preventable behavior-related chronic diseases in our state are at record highs. Studies indicate that one in four adults smoke, about 31 percent of our population is classified as obese, and nearly one-third report not engaging in any regular physical activity.
Leading a healthier lifestyle doesn't mean you have to spend too much time, money, or effort. All it takes is small, simple, affordable steps. The Governor's Foundation for Health and Wellness launched the Healthier Tennessee Communities initiative in 2015 with a three-fold objective — to encourage Tennesseans to be more active, eat healthier, and not use tobacco.
Syrena Flowers
Memphis Parent spoke to Syrena Flowers, West TN director of Healthier TN Communities, to learn more about this program.
MP: How has the Healthier TN Communities program grown to improve the health trends of the state? It was expanded recently with the launch of Healthier TN Neighborhoods in Memphis. How is this urban program different from the Communities initiative?
We started our Healthier TN Communities program with nine pilot communities across the state. These pilots were tasked with forming a wellness committee in their communities, having three initiatives around nutrition, three encouraging physical activity, and one around sustaining from using tobacco. Three years later, we now have 105 communities all working toward the same goals. We have seen obesity levels in the state go down and physical activity among residents increase.
The Healthier TN Neighborhoods program is very similar to the community effort, but scaled to a neighborhood approach. Participating neighborhoods form a wellness committee and implement two nutrition, two physical activity, and one tobacco initiative through their neighborhood. Recognizing that change happens at the local level first, approaching Tennessee's biggest cities neighborhood by neighborhood is likely to have the greatest impact in our metropolitan areas.
Out of the 105 communities taking part in the program, 46 have received the Healthier Tennessee designation. What does it take to gain this recognition?
Once a community fills out the initial application, they have one year to work toward designation and complete the program requirements. In addition to the ones mentioned earlier, we are looking for communities who also engage workplaces, places of worship, and area schools in these efforts to truly make it a community-wide effort. Once their final application showcasing their work throughout the year is received and reviewed, the community is invited to a ceremony with the governor where they are recognized as a Healthier TN Community.
Something new for 2018 is the Tier Designation Model. Now communities will have to opportunity to not only be designated but designated at a bronze, silver or gold based on specific measures. Once one level is achieved, the community can then work to achieve the next level.
What are some of the programs available through the Healthier TN website? How can the Streaks for Small Starts app help individuals get healthy on the go?
Through its website, the foundation is offering Small Starts, Small Starts @Work, Small Starts @Worship, and Small Starts for Families.
Streaks for Small Starts is our free app made to help you make easy, healthier choices every single day. You can choose to work on nutrition, physical activity, cutting tobacco, or a combo of all three. And the app is now more social than ever. Find Facebook friends, challenge them, and play your way to a healthier state.
Small Starts for Families was launched as a free, web-based wellness tool two years ago. How does this addition to the online suite of Small Starts wellness resources help families lead a healthier lifestyle?
Families can answer a few simple questions and once an account is created, they have access to more than 60 small starts to browse, save, and come back and implement in their lives. Our primary target is families with children from birth to early childhood, but anyone can have success using our program. It also touches on promoting better sleep and stress reduction to help you become a healthier person not just physically but mentally as well.
If a family is looking to make health a priority, what would be your top five tips to get started?
Don't skip breakfast. Plan tomorrow's breakfast tonight. Three healthy ideas: 1) Greek yogurt + berries, 2) Whole wheat toast + peanut butter and sliced banana, or 3) Oatmeal with cinnamon + honey or dried fruit.
Drink more water. Make water your family's drink of choice. Add a splash of lemon, lime, orange, or other fruit juice for healthy flavor.
Try for five. Try eating five servings of fruits and vegetables every day. Make the "Family Five" a game: See who eats their five servings first!
Spend time together outside. Find outdoor activities you and your family can enjoy together. Hit the parks and community centers to take a walk or play.
Keep distractions away. Keep TV, computers, and other distractions out of the bedroom. A room used for sleeping should not be used for play.
The Healthier Tennessee Week is scheduled for March 25-31. During the week, we will be celebrating Healthier TN Communities on our social media outlets, hosting a "Day on the Hill" on Tuesday, March 27, to raise awareness among our state lawmakers, and requesting communities to join the efforts in spreading the word using the hashtag, #HealthierTNWeek.

Memphis Parent, March 2018


The former Liverpool home of John Lennon's mother Julia is going to auction at Liverpool Town Hall on March 31, for the surprisingly reasonable starting price of £120,000. She resided in the semi-detached property in the 1950s and '60s.
BBC reports that though the famous Beatle never lived in the three-bedroom home (he lived down the street with his aunt Mimi), he regularly visited his mother and would practice guitar at the house. His aunt referred to the place as the "house of sin" due to Julia's refusal to marry her live-in partner.
"John spent many years of his youth learning and practicing his music under the direction of his mother, who was a great influence on his early musical career," said Geoff Guest, auction director of Venmore properties, which is selling the house.
Lennon memorabilia has previously sold at auction for prices like $3 million for original manuscripts (see Beatles Sold! John Lennon Manuscripts Score $3 Million), $28,000 for a letter from John to Yoko (see John Lennon Letter Praising Yoko Ono Fetches $28K) and $1 million for a guitar (see John Lennon Guitar Could Fetch $1 Million at Auction).

Is Morris a better option than Alexander?
KC JoynerESPN Staff Writer
NFL and CFB analyst for ESPN Insider
Known as "The Football Scientist"
Uses proprietary metrics from game tape study
After a very strong start, Seahawks RB Shaun Alexander's performance has steadily declined. In the first four games of the season, Alexander gained 353 rushing yards, a pace that would have totaled more than 1,400 yards if prorated over 16 games. Since that time, Alexander has only 204 yards in the five games in which he's played.
The general consensus is that Alexander's hand and ankle injuries are largely to blame for his decreased production; they are causing him not to hit the holes as hard as he did early on. Alexander's critics will also point out that Maurice Morris is averaging 4.8 yards per carry during the same time frame that Alexander's totals have plummeted.

Philippines: The War Of The Camps
March 26, 2012: In the south (North Cotabato) disputes between factions of the rebel MILF and pro-government MNLF have led to increased tensions in the last ten days. A year ago several gun battles, leaving dozens dead or wounded, were the result of similar disputes. This time, over a thousand people have fled their homes to avoid resumed shooting. A lot of this unrest is the result of MILF and MNLF commanders who have personal disputes with each other. The army and police are trying to broker a ceasefire. Meanwhile, peace negotiations with MILF are still underway but are approaching a stalemate over the issue of Moslem autonomy in the south, in a region where many areas have Christian majorities.
Based on intelligence received from Malaysia, wanted Malaysian terrorists Zulkifli Bin Abdul Hir, thought to have been killed in an army raid last month, is now thought to be alive, badly wounded, and hiding on Jolo Island. It was originally believed that Hir's mangled body was dragged away by fleeing Abu Sayyaf terrorists. But now it appears that Hir was still alive. Troops are searching for Hir on Jolo and reminding everyone there that the U.S. is offering a $5 million reward for his capture (dead or alive). On Jolo that doesn't mean a lot. There is a lot of support for Abu Sayyaf on the island. The Islamic terrorists use religious and family connections, plus sharing past ransom payments with the locals, to obtain this popularity. Moreover, anyone claiming the reward would have to flee the area and convince a large extended family to accompany him (otherwise the family would be subject to revenge attacks). This sort of thing is why many similar rewards for Islamic terrorists have not been acted on.
The army has increased its efforts to take down the leftist NPA rebels. The NPA leadership has refused to negotiate a peace deal, and NPA gunmen are increasingly active in attacking businesses that won't go along with "revolutionary taxes" (extortion payments). The army is concentrating on finding and destroying NPA camps, which is a big blow to morale. This results in more desertions and surrenders of NPA rebels, which leads to more information about how the NPA works and where camps are located.
March 21, 2012: In the south (Surigao del Sur) troops were ambushed by NPA gunmen, leaving five soldiers wounded.
March 20, 2012: In the south (Surigao del Sur) troops found and destroyed a NPA camp, one that housed some 150 leftist rebels.
On the island of Masbate troops fought four clashes with NPA rebels, killing three of them and capturing weapons and bomb making materials.
March 16, 2012: In the south (Northern Samar) troops found and destroyed two NPA camps, which together housed over 100 leftist rebels.
March 15, 2012: On Basilan Island troops captured an Abu Sayyaf camp where bomb making was taught. One soldier was killed and two wounded in the operation. It was believed that an Australian man, kidnapped three months ago, was there, but if he was the terrorists got away with him. Abu Sayyaf is demanding $2 million for the release of the Australian.
On Sulu Island Abu Sayyaf leader Jeri Jeheron (with a $70,000 reward on his head) was captured.
March 13, 2012: In the south (Cabadbaran City) troops found and destroyed a major NPA camp, one that was the home for some 500 leftist rebels. While the rebels fled at the approach of the troops, much of their equipment was left behind.

Andrew Scott Walter (born May 11, 1982) is an American businessman and retired NFL quarterback. He was drafted by the Oakland Raiders in the third round of the 2005 NFL Draft after playing college football at Arizona State University. He was also a member of the New England Patriots.
Early years and college career Edit
Walter is an Arizona native, born in Scottsdale. He moved to Colorado at the age of 10, where he later attended Grand Junction High School in Grand Junction, Colorado.[1] He was an all-conference selection as a junior and senior and a USA Today honorable mention All-American.
Prior to his NFL career, Walter played quarterback for his hometown school, Arizona State University (ASU) where he earned a BA in Communication. Walter completed his collegiate career with numerous Pacific-10 Conference records including, most career touchdowns (85) and most yards passing in a game (536). He also set numerous school records, which include most passing yards (10,616), most completions (777), most touchdowns (85), and total offense (10,142).
2001 season Edit
Walter's redshirt freshman season at Arizona State University saw limited playing time behind sophomore starter Jeff Krohn, including reserve duty in a losing effort against the University of Oregon. After a 4–7 record under new head coach Dirk Koetter and only one win in the Pacific-10 Conference, Krohn transferred out of ASU following the season.
With an opening at quarterback, Walter seemed to be the favorite going into the season to start. This turned out not to be the case, however, when Walter was kept as the backup after redshirt freshman, Chad Christiansen, had impressive spring and fall practices.
In September 2002 the Sun Devils fell behind the San Diego State University Aztecs 22-0. Christiansen was largely ineffective and was replaced by Walter. Walter entered the game with a protective boot due to an injury he sustained during the previous week of practice. The injury did not prove to be a factor as Walter connected with wide receiver Shaun McDonald for a 72-yard touchdown pass on his first play from scrimmage. Walter's second pass from scrimmage also ended up as a touchdown. ASU came back to beat the Aztecs, 39-28, in the largest come-from-behind win in ASU history.
Later in the season, ASU put together an impressive win streak, and beat #6 Oregon at Autzen Stadium in Eugene, Oregon, where the Ducks had lost only one game at Autzen over the previous four seasons. After falling behind 21-0 in the second quarter, Walter led the Sun Devils to a 45-42 upset win over the Ducks, breaking a Pac-10 single game record for passing with 536 yards.
ASU ended the regular season with an 8-5 record and nearly upset the Kansas State Wildcats, who were favored by 17 points over the Devils, in the 2002 Holiday Bowl. Although ASU narrowly lost the contest 34-27 (relinquishing the lead only once, in the closing minute of the game), Walter achieved the ASU single season passing record with 3,877 yards.
2003 was marked as a disappointing season for Walter and the Sun Devils. ASU started the season ranked at #15 but put up disappointing performances against traditionally weaker opponents Northern Arizona University and Utah State University. The Sun Devils suffered their first loss at the University of Iowa, losing 21-2 to the Hawkeyes. Despite the Sun Devils achieving a 5-7 record (2-6 in the Pac-10), Walter still threw for 3,044 yards, including the game-winning touchdown against North Carolina as time expired. Walter also earned the Territorial Cup MVP when ASU beat their arch-rivals the University of Arizona at Sun Devil Stadium. At the end of the 2003 season, Walter decided to forgo his opportunity to jump into the NFL and decided to stay at Arizona State for his last year of eligibility.
Walter's senior campaign featured a number of highs and lows. Walter lead the Sun Devils to a comeback year where the Devils piled up an 8-3 record and clinched a berth in the Vitalis Sun Bowl. Walter also surpassed practically every ASU quarterback in every statistic. Walter also surpassed NFL legend John Elway as the Pac-10's all time touchdown leader. During the 2004 season, Walter helped the Devils defeat #15 Iowa 44-7. His low point of the season came when Walter went down in the fourth quarter during the regular season finale against Arizona and suffered a third degree shoulder separation, forcing him to miss the Sun Devils' post-season Sun Bowl game (a 27-23 victory over Purdue).

Oakland Raiders Edit
Walter was selected by the Oakland Raiders in the third round (69th overall) of the 2005 NFL Draft. Walter spent his 2005 rookie season as the third-string quarterback for the Raiders behind Kerry Collins and backup quarterback Marques Tuiasosopo. Walter played in only two preseason games because of a groin injury, one that eventually required surgery at the conclusion of the 2005 season.
File:Andrew-Walter 8-28-09 Patriots-vs-Redskins.jpg
Entering the 2006 season, Walter was expected to compete for the starting quarterback position with Tuiasosopo and Aaron Brooks. After a poor performance by Brooks in Week 1, Walter replaced him late in the game. The next week, Walter once again replaced Brooks due to poor performance including two fumbled snaps. Following the announcement that Brooks would miss 2–4 weeks with an injured pectoral muscle, Walter started the Week 4 game against the Cleveland Browns. On October 22, he led the Raiders to their first win of the year, defeating the Arizona Cardinals. However, Brooks returned in November and re-took the starting quarterback job from Walter, who would only start one more game in 2006. After the season, the Raiders drafted JaMarcus Russell with the first overall pick in the 2007 NFL Draft. Walter would begin the season as the Raiders' third quarterback, with veterans Daunte Culpepper and Josh McCown seeing time over Walter, who was only active for one game in 2007. Walter was listed as the No. 2 quarterback heading into the December 9 game against the Green Bay Packers.[2][3] Walter entered the Packers game early in the fourth quarter in relief of McCown and completed 5 of 8 passes for 38 yards as the Raiders lost to the Packers by a score of 38-7.[4][5] Walter was inserted into the game instead of rookie JaMarcus Russell, who had made his NFL debut a week earlier, due to head coach Lane Kiffin not wanting to play Russell when the offense was performing poorly.[6][7] It was also apparently the coldest weather Russell had ever been in.[4][8][9][3][10][11]
With Russell taking the starting job in 2008, Walter continued to serve as the Raiders' third quarterback. He was active for just two games in 2008, starting one but posting only a 43.8 completion percentage. Walter was released by the Raiders on July 30, 2009, finishing his Oakland career with a 52.3 completion percentage.
New England Patriots Edit
Walter was signed by the New England Patriots in August 2009 after the team waived quarterback Matt Gutierrez. He was released on September 4.
Post-football career Edit

MINIMALISM: Mono-ha "Object School" Group
MINIMALISM – Mono-Ha "Object School"
Throughout the tour of the carefully curated Minimalism exhibition, works that caught my eye were works by Lee Ufan and Nobuo Sekine, with both artists having led the Mono-Ha movement in East Asia.
Mono-Ha "Object school" was an Eastern school of thought, which represented a group of 20th century Japanese artists. The core of the movement was the focus and appreciation of the nature of the materials, letting the object speak for itself which ties in the idea of "not-making". As of minimalism, they rejected western notions of representation, focusing on the relationships of materials and perceptions rather than on expression or intervention.
The beginnings of Mono-Ha can be found in an article by Lee Ufan (1970-1971): "Sonzai to mu wo koete Sekine Nobuo ron (Beyond Being and Nothingness) – A Thesis on Sekine Nobuo."
Link to article: https://monoskop.org/images/a/ab/Ufan_Lee_1970-71_2013_Beyond_Being_and_Nothingness_On_Sekine_Nobuo.pdf
An avant-garde painter and sculptor based in Japan, his art ideology revolves around an Eastern appreciation of the material as a rejection to the Eurocentric thought of 1960s post-war Japan. His works juxtaposes the raw and natural against the industrial materials, choreographed in mostly unaltered, ephemeral states.

(I did not document the actual work used in the Minimalism exhibition, so I chose similar works from Lee Ufan's series of "arrangements". The work by Lee Ufan in the Minimalism exhibition was a choreography of large rocks and metal sheets alternating each other in a circle.)
In the Relatum series, his sculptural works are composed of untouched stone and industrial metal pieces. He refers to his sculptures as kōzō,"living structures", which deviates from traditional expression and towards the detached act of arranging or mediating. The detachment is in line with the Mono-ha's engagement in "not making" and to focus on "the world as it is".
The notion of encounter between the natural and industrial in his works can be adapted into our interactive work, where we explore the relation between industrial reflective and refractive materials and light, a natural element. We are exploring the behaviours of light with man-made objects in space through interactive arrangements. The role of the sculptor is now passed onto the viewer, where the "encounters" of light and object are determined by their actions.

Photo: Osamu Murai. Image from: http://www.nobuosekine.com/image/phase-mother-earth-1968/
While the actual work was not in the Minimalism exhibition, Phase – Mother Earth by Nobuo Sekine was featured in photograph documentation as one of the key works in the Mono-Ha movement. This work involves the excavation of a cylindrical volume of earth from the ground, and placing it next to the space produced. The work was considered a "thought experiment" where Nobuo Sekine challenged the laws and different phases of space. He brings to light the reality of the negative space – Can emptiness be considered as matter and thus, material?
The idea of defining an object using its negative is really interesting and in the eyes of minimalism, strips and defines the essence of the "thing" to its absence. Can objects be defined by the intangible, such as their absences (negative space) and shadows (as opposed to light)? In our narrative project, we would like to discover more about the implication of objects and scenario through their overlooked forms – their shadows. How real can the narrative be when it is replaced by its suggested existence? We would like to explore alternative and abstracted forms in a "sculpted space" where malleable reality is hinted through the manipulations of shadow, sound and space.
Mono-Ha goes beyond the idea of "not making" but taps on the relations between the nature of materials, be it tangible or intangible. The concepts are highly relevant to both our interactive and narrative projects in our theoretical concerns and execution. Our overarching exploration of the experiencing of the intangible in both our projects can draw inspiration from the Mono-Ha movements and Minimalism and we hope to be successful in highlighting the profound ideas based in these schools of thought in our works.
Interactive Spaces – Using the Intangible as material
INTERACTIVE SPACES
Interactive art that inspires me combines new media technology with the physical to redefine the human artistic experience. New digital possibilities allow for inventive forms of interaction to experience art. The following examples of interactive art works manipulate and use the intangible (light, sound and new technologies) within a designed space that balance between physical beauty and revolutionary transcendence.
Wave UFO (1999-2002) by Mariko Mori
Wave UFO, 1999-2002 Brainwave interface, vision dome, projector, computer system, fibreglass 207 x 446 x 194 inches (528 x 113.4 x 493 cm)
Wave UFO, 1999-2002 at ARoS Museum, Aarhus, Denmark Brainwave interface, vision dome, projector, computer system, fibreglass 207 x 446 x 194 inches (528 x 113.4 x 493 cm)
Wave UFO (1999 -2002) is a large scale interactive installation by Japanese digital artist Mariko Mori, whose futuristic works challenge reality. A streamlined ovoid-like structure is constructed with fibreglass to contain an interactive capsule within. To enter the space, the participant must ascend stairs of circular discs and through a bubble-like automated door. In the inner cavity of the structure, there are three chairs made of Technogel, which mould to fit the form of the participants who lie on them. A vision dome is stretched across the interior surface of the capsule where projections are captured.
Wave UFO (interior), 1999-2002 Brainwave interface, vision dome, projector, computer system, fibreglass 207 x 446 x 194 inches (528 x 113.4 x 493 cm)
Combining art with technology, this work involves fitting the participants, three at a time, with electrodes that measure brainwaves. The interaction combines neuroscience, computer graphics and sound to project the live "thoughts" of the viewers in the form of moving abstract cell-like orbs onto the vision dome where they are in view of. The use of architecture and engineering in the construction of space and the series of animations produced using the biofeedback create a transcendent and surreal experience of Mori's futuristic visions.
SPECTRA (2004) by Ryoji Ikeda
Another interactive work that manipulates the intangible, sound and light, within a constructed space is Spectra (Terminal 5, JFK) by Ryoji Ikeda. The commissioned installation at JFK International Airport created was a luminal tunnel with a plunging vanishing point where the viewer is subjected to intense brightness of an utopian but unnatural state.

Within the space, sounds of ultra-frequencies are played which are inaudible to the human ear. As the viewers walk down the aisle, the movement causes subtle oscillation patterns around their ears. The dynamic experience of sound caused by the physical interaction with the space creates an ephemeral experience in travel.
CARNATE (in-pinking) by Rachael Archibald
"Exhibited" in virtual gallery Paper-Thin created by Daniel Smith and Cameron Buckley, Carnate is a virtual reality installation which explores light, space and material in another dimension. Paper-Thin is a virtual art platform that is designed to look like a real exhibition space, providing a grounding and familiar framework for artists to explore within without the constraints of the physical one.
Carnage (2015) Image courtesy of Paper-Thin
Carnage explores space with anti-gravitational boulder-like structures and glowing walls and light. The virtual model and work expand the possibilities of space and installation but redefines the interaction with in works. The viewer navigates the modern art space using arrow keys on a screen that can be access anywhere and at anytime due an open database. It is an alternative to experiencing art but it questions the experience of a space on a two-dimensional surface.

Full waveform inversion (FWI) applications on land seismic data remain very limited. The presence of strong anelastic effects, near-surface heterogeneities, unknown source and receiver signature and poor signal-to-noise ratio, among other reasons, challenge the capabilities of most modelling and inversion algorithms. Here, we perform an elastic FWI using land VSP data acquired in a walkaway configuration. We pre-process the data with the intent of improving the signal-to-noise ratio and removing undesired anelastic effects. Elevation differences among source locations were accounted for by applying elevation static corrections. Signal-to-noise ratio was improved by using a predictive filter in the FX domain. Two datasets with different deconvolution conditions were generated. A deterministic deconvolution using the recorded downgoing wavefield was applied to one of the datasets to remove the source signature. Even though this process partially accounts for changes in the wavelet with depth, a single operator is used for all the events recorded on a given trace. For this reason, we also computed a Gabor deconvolution to account for non-stationarity in the source signature. Then, we performed an elastic FWI using a multi-scale approach, with four frequency bands (4-8 Hz, 4-12 Hz, 4-16 Hz and 4-20 Hz) and three different depth windows (250-1000 m, 750-2250 m and 2000-3500 m). The FWI performed on the data deconvolved with the deterministic operators converged toward a solution that was closer to the sonic logs available in the well. Despite providing a wider frequency spectrum, the FWI using the Gabor deconvolved data did not converge toward an optimal solution. A closer examination of the input data revealed that in addition to removing some of the multiples, the deterministic deconvolution resurfaced some downgoing S-wave events that were not evident before. Providing data with less complexity and enhancing prominent events provided us with a more robust initialization of the inversion problem.

«Царь скорпионов 3: Книга мертвых» () — приключенческий фильм 2012 года, снятый для DVD, шестой в серии фильмов «Мумия» от студии «Universal». Сиквел фильма «Царь скорпионов», который является спин-оффом картины «Мумия возвращается», который является сиквелом фильма «Мумия». Фильм рассказывает о дальнейших похождениях Метаеса, будущего царя скорпионов. Виктор Вебстер заменил Майкла Копона в главной роли.

Рабочие подзаголовки картины: «Восстание мертвецов» () и «Книга мёртвых» ().

Сюжет
Через несколько лет после того, как Метаясу было предсказано, что его мирное королевство не будет длиться вечно, Кассандра умирает. Матаюс позволяет своему королевству развалиться после смертельной чумы, унесшей жизнь его жены, и считает, что его дворянское правление подошло к концу. Затем Метаяс снова становится наемником, как и до войны с Мемноном. Младший брат Хоруса, могущественного царя Египта, - Талус, и он желает завоевать королевство своего брата, поскольку Гор стал царем над ним. Для этого Талус вместе со своей армией отправляется на Дальний Восток, чтобы украсть Книгу Мертвых у Рамусана, короля, союзника Гора. Чтобы остановить Талуса, Гор нанимает Метаяса и объединяет его с тевтонским воином Олафом.

Талус похищает дочь Рамусана, Сильду. Затем Рамусан говорит Метаясу, что, если он сможет спасти свою дочь, он будет иметь право жениться на ней и снова воздвигнуть королевство. Прежде чем Метаясу удается спасти Силду, ее уносит армия ниндзя таинственной «Кобры». Талус нанимает Метаяса и Олафа, чтобы те вернули принцессу и голову Кобры. Они попадают в лагерь изгнанников во главе с Коброй, которой оказывается сама Сильда.

Талус прибывает во дворец Рамусана и берет Книгу Мертвых, ранив Рамусана. Этим он оживляет мертвых воинов Зулу Кондо, Агромаэля и Цукая. Чтобы увидеть их силу, Талус приказывает им убить его лучших людей, что они легко делают. Цукаю и Зулу Кондо приказывают атаковать лагерь изгнанников. Работая вместе, Метаясу, Олафу и ниндзя Силды удается победить Зулу Кондо в битве. Однако Цукаю удается сбежать.

Метаяс и Олаф возвращаются во дворец Рамусана, ныне штаб-квартиру Талуса. Они делают вид, что спасли Силду, и представляют отрубленную голову, предположительно принадлежащую Кобре. Талус все еще намеревается жениться на Силде и берет ее в свои спальни. Метаяс нападает на Талуса, которого спасает своевременное вмешательство Цукая. Метаяс преследует Талуса, а Силда сталкивается с Цукаем. В то же время Олаф пытается получить Книгу Мертвых, но ему приходится сражаться с Агромаэлем. Ниндзя останавливают Талуса, и Метаяс каким-то образом находит больного Рамусана, и вместе они используют Книгу Мертвых, чтобы помешать Цукаю и Агромаэлю убить Силду и Олафа соответственно.

Когда Рамусан умирает на руках своей дочери, а Талус остается противостоять гневу ниндзя, Цукай и Агромаэль кланяются Матаюсу как новому правителю королевств Рамусана и Талуса. Когда Гор подходит к городским воротам, его встречает Матаюс, который снова принял мантию Царя Скорпионов.

Во время титров выясняется, что Метаяс и Силда поцеловались в ночь на их предыдущей вечеринке, но их пути расходятся с удаленными сценами, содержащими диалог, который Матиус уходил, когда он нес смерть и разрушение, куда бы он ни пошел. Хотя у Метаяса может быть еще некоторое время, прежде чем он решит возглавить свой народ в его судьбоносном стремлении захватить известный мир, его судьба теперь более ясна, чем когда-либо, в чуть более воинственной позиции, которую он занял по сравнению с тем, где он был в конце предыдущий оригинальный фильм, в котором Книга Мертвых осталась нетронутой для последующих событий в «Мумии», а собственное путешествие Короля Скорпионов вымощено для вступительной части «Мумии возвращается» .

В ролях

Производство
Изначально сценарий предполагал, что действие большей части фильма будет происходить в Европе. Но из-за ограниченного бюджета режиссер перенес фильм в Таиланд, где снимать было дешевле. Они использовали компьютерную графику, чтобы добавить песок вокруг города Хоруса, который должен был находиться в пустыне.

У них было 400 статистов для батальных сцен, но большая часть боев была сделана с участием основного состава плюс всего 12 каскадеров, которые играли несколько ролей в разных костюмах, чтобы они могли быть во всех битвах. Остальные статисты не были обучены драться, поэтому они оставались на заднем плане, и внимательные наблюдатели могут видеть, что на самом деле они сами не участвуют в каких-либо опасных драках.

Изначально они планировали, что Зулу Кондо бросит свой молот, а затем волшебным образом вернется в его руку. Но они решили вырезать этот кусок, когда увидели фильм 2011 года, где Тор уже сделал то же самое.

Многие сцены фильма снимались в туристических местах, которые они не могли зарезервировать только для себя. Поэтому им часто приходилось останавливать съемку, потому что по сцене ходили туристы.

Премьера
Премьера фильма состоялась 10 января 2012 года. Как и предыдущая часть, картина вышла сразу на DVD. Американское издание включало следующие бонусы:

 Документальный фильм «Swords and Scorpions»
 Фильм о подготовке к битве
 Удалённые и расширенные сцены
 Альтернативные кадры
 Неудачные дубли
 Комментарии режиссёра

Прием
Царь скорпионов 3: Книга мёртвых получил в основном негативные отзывы от критиков и зрителей, однако его считают улучшением, о сравнению с прошлым фильмом. IGN, давший фильму оценку 4/10, раскритиковал его за «жалкие диалоги, ужасную игру (Виктор Вебстер запинается на каждом предложении) и сценическое действие, большая часть которого больше похожа на репетицию, чем на реальную сделку. Мой бар был очень низким, и все же фильм каким-то образом нашел способ утонуть под ним». Джейсон Бест из TVTimes: «Сюжет настолько неуклюж, что вам действительно нужно быть убежденным поклонником жанра фэнтези-боевика, чтобы высидеть все скучные вещи между ними». Напротив, CraveOnline дал фильму оценку 7/10 и прокомментировал: «Если бы мне нужно было ранжировать их, я бы сказал, что «Царь скорпионов 3: Битва за искупление» — наименьший из фильмов о Царе скорпионов (они слегка обесцениваются с тех пор, как первый), в котором отсутствует яркая главная роль или особенно захватывающая сюжетная линия. Но это все же чертовски забавный фильм категории B с симпатичными персонажами и серией развлекательных боевиков для фанатов фэнтези всех мастей».

Фильм заработал 4 098 483 000  доллара на внутреннем рынке.
