Scientific American

After so many days asking and being told that Scientific American had not come, I managed to buy it this afternoon.

It is a nice book for me. But I had little time to read it. This evening, when I came bask to our apartment, it was 23:00. I chose to read it in the reading room of our apartment.

I believed it was a so nice book which could attract me so much. This was the first time I read it seriously. It was April now. But the Science Review column concentrated on the February. Firstly, I did not understand it and even to doubt it was an error of the book. When I turned to read the head pages, I found that although the Chinese version is on April, the original edition was on Feb. 2005. So I understood that the translation of the original edition would cost two months.

When I was reading it in detail, I found I think more than the content of the articles. I hesitated to comment on the pages directly firstly. But when I had more ideas, I could not help to writing directly on the pages. I believed when I reviewed it, I would think more.

Yes. Reading only is not enough. Thinking is the most important for reading. I think so.

Exams are drawing near

We have five courses this term. They all will have exams near the end of this month. So our most busy period is coming.

I want to do the survey about data stream mining for the homework of data mining course. It's a interesting subject. I didn't know more about it except the basic idea。 This afternoon, when we were in the class of data mining, I asked Mrs. Gao. She gave me some suggestions about this direction. The famous research institutes were in Wisconsin University, Stanford University, and Cornell University.

I believed in that I could submit a wonderful homework.

To live is to function

To live is to function. This is a nice sentence from my friend niwenjie.

Yesterday, he (or she, I don't know) sent a mail to me with some advice. He found some syntax error of my diaries, and suggested me studying more on English.

This is the first time that somebody gives me advice on blog. Yeah. As you know, my English is not good. Right now, I have not passed the CET-6 test after I had tried five times. My original idea about English was it's only a tool. So I had not regarded it as important as enough. In my daily life plan, I had very little time for English studying.

After read his advice, I am on to change my view about English. I am about to study more about English.

Everyday, I write a diary in my blog. This is a habit of my daily life. But I didn’t pay more attention on the quality of them. It's wrong. I think so now. Every body knows that writing diary is a good practice for improving English. But this can be guaranteed by keeping on correct errors of your diaries. I should do so.

Thanks to niwenjie!

Grey System

I have been not studying and discussing grey system so long. Yesterday, I found a friend made some comments on my entry about Grey System in our Machine Learning discussing block. His ID was stochasticpr. He had commented on grey system. From his comments, I knew the Journal of Grey System was a index of SCI now. It's a piece of nice news.

We discussed more on mails. By my judgment, he was good at grey system, and had done much on it.

We all believed that right now it was a painful period of grey system. We'd like to discuss more.

MindManager

当你发现一个东西很好的时候，往往会有一种冲动－－学会并且使用它。

昨天在学习了《思维导图》后找到并且试用了Inspiration 7软件，今天的在实验室的第一件事情就是采用Inspiration 7制作今日计划。在列举自己的个人当前事务的时候亲身感受到了思维导图的威力，一个本来不是很起眼的想法经过自己的发散式思维居然扩展出了很多的细节。按照计划完成了几项任务后感觉确实是非常的方便。

俗话说没有调查就没有发言权。晚上一时闲暇打开了自己搜集的一些关于思维导图的论坛，想要学学西别人是怎么使用思维导图的。看到了很多非常精致的思维导图，但是它们的风格与我用过的FreeMind和Inspiration大不一样。思维导图强调色彩和图形，感觉论坛中的例子比我做的几个图形精彩得多。仔细查找后得知它们都是用MindManager制作的。

MindManager的优点别人阐述如下：
Mindmanger是专业的思维导图制作软件。Mindmanager上手非常快Mindmanager支持与WORD、POWERPONT之间的转换。对于分支较多、较复杂的思维导图，比较适适合Mindmanager处理。

自己试用了这个软件后感觉的确非常非常的好，堪称完美。尤其是它的帮助文档都是非常漂亮的录像。改天贴上自己的作品和大家分享一下。

笔记，思维

早上整理自己的电脑桌面文件夹的时候发现了自己在学习FreeMind软件时找到的一个pdf文档《思维导图》。只有300页，打开看来顿觉兴奋。

书中讲述了咱们以往的线性笔记思维的害处和发散思维的好处。结合种种例子说明了以发散思维为核心的思维导图的意义。本书的以为作者提到了他采用思维导图来学习研究的一些简易而卓有成效的的方法。思维导图让他成为一个在科研方面的多面手，读博期间也很快完成了博士论文。作者巴利提到的一段内容如下：

---

我很快地意识到，在思维与写作两者之间衔接的问题，时我的研究生同学们成功或失败的一个主要的决定性因素。许多人没有能够衔接上。他们对研究的主题把握得越来越多，可在组织细节，以便形成论文的时候，却越来越不由自主，茫然失措。
思维导图使我处在一个非常有竞争性的优势位置。它使我有了把思想组织起来并且加以深化提炼的能力，而不再重复耗时费力的起草再起草过程。由于把思维和写作分开来了，我可以更清楚的想问题，思路也广泛得多了。到开始写作的时候，我已经有了一个清楚的结构，也有了一个确定的方向感，这使写作更容易，更快，也更令人愉快。
我再规定的三年时间内提前完成了博士论文，还抽出时间写完了另一本书和一个章节，帮人找到然后编辑了一份国际关系学方面的季刊，当学生报纸的助理编辑，参加摩托车赛，还结了婚（与未婚妻一起用思维导图起草了婚誓）。因为有了这些经验，我对这个技巧当中有关创造性思维的一面热情高涨。
思维导图一直是我进行学术工作的重要方法。它使我再进行书籍、文章和学会论文的写作是成果迭、产量甚高。在一个信息的分量极为重要，很多人被迫成为专家的地方，它使我保持了一个多面手的地位。在一些太过复杂，常常令人语无伦次、辞不达意的理论文章写作的时候，我也把自己清晰的写作能力归功于思维导图。它多我的职业生涯最大的影响，也许就反映在人们第一次见到我时发出的惊异中：“你比我想象的年轻得多。你是怎么在这样短的时间里写出这么多东西的？”
在我自己的生活和工作中尝到了思维导图的很多甜头后，我成了思维导图的倡导者。

---

一个如此好的东西，一个如此实用的方法，凭什么不值得我好好学习呢。到现在为止我在思维导图上的使用仅仅是利用FreeMind做过一个相关的报告。在那个报告中我没有体会到思维导图的巨大威力。今天在试用了INspiration 7.6后，我决定今后每天至少使用一次这个软件，争取思维导图在我的研究和生活中成为我最好的帮手。

Football Match

After the basketball match before two weeks, this morning, our labs hold a football match. Our opponent was the class team of Wei He.

The match was started up at 9:00. We all, about twenty persons, came to the playground. As there were only eight persons consist a group, we turned up in the ground by turns. Prof.Tliu was also a member of our football team. He was good at this sport item. At the beginning, Wei He was the goalkeeper of our opponent. Our team's first goal was by Yu Hong. In the forbidden zone, Yu Hong, faced to Wei He, kick the ball into the goal. The ball was through under Wei He's crotch. So excellent goal it was.

The best member of our team was Jialun Deng. Firstly, he was our goalkeeper. By right of their skills, our opponent vanguards shot once and once again. Jialun Deng turned back them one by one. We gave him a title of iron man. After some times substitution, he was the vanguard. Facing to the goalkeeper, he shot by the same way as Yu Hong. After so many matches, we all found he was a good player of all ball-like sports.

When it came to 11:00, we finished our match. We all were happy.

Nice sports!
