Being Intelligent
Is Not Necessarily
Being Smart !

How Computer-Generated
Fake Papers Are
Flooding Academia

More and more academic papers that are essentially gobbledegook are being written by computer programs – and accepted at conferences.

'I've written five PhDs on Heidegger just this afternoon. What next?'

Like all the best hoaxes, there was a serious point to be made. Three MIT graduate students wanted to expose how dodgy scientific conferences pestered researchers for papers, and accepted any old rubbish sent in, knowing that academics would stump up the hefty, till-ringing registration fees.

It took only a handful of days. The students wrote a simple computer program that churned out gobbledegook and presented it as an academic paper. They put their names on one of the papers, sent it to a conference, and promptly had it accepted. The sting, in 2005, revealed a farce that lay at the heart of science.

But this is the hoax that keeps on giving. The creators of the automatic nonsense generator, Jeremy Stribling, Dan Aguayo and Maxwell Krohn, have made the SCIgen program free to download. And scientists have been using it in their droves. This week, Nature reported, French researcher Cyril Labbé revealed that 16 gobbledegook papers created by SCIgen had been used by German academic publisher Springer. More than 100 more fake SCIgen papers were published by the US Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE). Both organisations have now taken steps to remove the papers.

Point made!
The intelligent ain't so smart !(my statement)

I plagiarized this and slightly rewrote it and not a bit ashamed to admit it.

"Throughout history, supposedly enlightened elite's have been able to convince themselves that they are right and everyone else is wrong. The fact that they have always been wrong before does not, somehow, lead them to question those assumptions in the present day, because this is such a convenient belief to have."

IMO They were wrong to close the Moline Grade School.

IMO They were wrong to spend a half a million dollars on portable buildings, that they now want to dispose  of.

IMO They are wrong to want to double the size of a building that is capable of holding 600 students when they only have 300 students.

IMO They are wrong to want a multi-million dollar School Bond Issue indebting taxpayers for 20 years.

IMO They are wrong for not recognizing their internal problems and dealing with them.

IMO They are wrong for not discussing how to improve teaching standards at the school.

IMO They are wrong to run a Special Election in June and waste $3000.00 taxpayer and student education dollars when they said at the School Board Meeting that the Bond Issue will not pass.


IMO I think they are wrong because they don't really understand the real purpose of their positions as Elected Officials of the School Board.

What do you think?

[Ross]

All that in the above post reminds me of the weird ideas on page one of this thread.

All those weird ideas from Elk Konnected.

So how come none of the Followers say I'm wrong ?

Why don't those Followers prove me wrong ?

Why won't those Followers come forward and have a discussion?

Are there no more Followers ?

I guess the truth stands tall !

For a $75,000 home"

$3 Million would cost you $94.00 a year, on top of what you are already taxed, not 26 cents a day.

$6 Million would cost you $187.00 a year, on top of what you are already taxed, not 51.2 cents a day.

$7.5 Million would cost you $235.03 a year, on top of what you are already taxed, not 64.4 cents a day.

The daily cost is simply a sales gimmick, you don't pay daily. If you had to pay daily you would probably get pissed off pretty durn fast.

The idea behind listing $3 Million, $6 Million and $7.5 Million is yet another sales gimmick. They don't dare ask for $7.5 Million or $6 Million. They shouldn't even have the gall to ask for $3 Million. They got what they wanted, they have all the kids on one campus and Howard doesn't have to bus their kids to another community. And they have spent $500,000 plus to do it. They also got rid of a few really good teachers.

No, they can not say, I had not part in all that, they accepted the past responsibilities when they accepted the elected positions.

Employing a major Financial Broker is just that, another sales gimmick! Just look at the figures those accomplished financial people put together so the School Board could dazzle you with brilliance or Baffle you with Bull Shit. What do you think?

The same thing applies to employing Architect/Salesmen IMO!

When you decide to buy a car do you get spread sheets, do you believe everything the car salesman tells you? He is a salesman that will tell you what he thinks you want to hear, he will tell you whatever it takes to make the sale and make an income for himself and his employer.

The same thing is happening with this expansion of West Elk.

The School Principal stated that she is concerned with having so many children in the gymnasium at the same time! What she told me was that big children are on one end of the gymnasium and little children on the other end. And that she is concerned that a ball might come over from the big children side to the little children side and a little child might get hurt and in fact has had small children hurt.

What she won't tell you is, why!
Why, won't she employ the safety net, across the center of the gymnasium to protect the small children?

Is she waiting for a catastrophic injury before taking safety precautions? 
Is she waiting for a law suit, so she can say, "I told you so."

If she is smart she will employ the safety net immediately and stop using the children's safety as a selling point for a new gymnasium. You parents out there with small children could call the principal and insist that she provide this safety precaution for your children, before it s too late.

Tell the principal to stop using your children as a selling point.
Tell the principal your children's safety should be number one concern!
The School Board and Staff talk about security systems to prevent a mass killing at our school, the odds are extremely slim of the happening, but the odds of a child getting hurt in the gymnasium are apparently pretty good.

And yet they won't use the safety net, why?
I thought the children's safety came first.
What has happened to that concept?
Sales pitch is WHAT !
SALES PITCH !
And there will be more, sales pitches, you can bet on it.

Let the Good Times Roll!

And Fergit edumacation!

The School Principal clearly states, "The New Addition is being called an Elementary Addition". Doesn't that mean a new Grade School?

And I believe, they are calling the new gymnasium the Elementary Gymnasium.

How's that gonna work for you, grad school classes on the south end and the grade school gymnasium on the north end? Holy moly Batman!

They call the teachers lounge a work room, how sweet is that?
Now they want the present (massive) office space as a Teachers Lounge, er, I'm sorry a work room.

Can we have a Chandelier and a Spa for that Work Room, please? It's only taxpayers money!

See the principal's note about the Work Room (teachers lounge) at:
https://app.box.com/files/0/f/1658866732/1/f_14861461068

Oh, did I mention, if you pass a bond issue for a part of the proposed construction, they'll be back. Back for more money in a very few years and another bond issue election. With more excuses, for needing more rooms or something. Think about it. After all thy are planning a special election in June expecting it to fail (while spending $3000.00 to prove it) and then come back in November to do it again? Just think on that a minute or two?

They have talked of spreading the construction out for as much as ten years at the Board meetings. Go figure!

I found this blog very interesting and posted it under Common Core

This is about property,     but also about education,    about what is taught,   that devalues ownership!

You Should Ask 'Whose Property Is It?'
by Lonely Conservative • February 28, 2014

I think this blog relates to what is happening here and now with West Elk.
The Socialists wanting to tax the heck out of property owners just because!

Just because a few socialists think you are dumb enough to allow it!
Yes, that's what they think!

They know you won't buy it in June but they think you will crater in November?

They think they have you and me figured out?   

Do they?
