if i'm not mistaken, this is the 30th journal of democracy book at johns hopkins has published since the series began in 1993. these volumes, which mostly but not exclusively draw up on articles that previously appeared in the journal have addressed a very wide range of regional issues related to democratization around the wor world. it is a quarterly publication sponsored by the national endowment for democracy. it has become a leading global forum for serious analysis of the problems and prospects of democracy around the world. larry diamond, who is also my coeditor of the journal will serve as the moderator of today's discussion and i will limit myself here with just a few brief remarks mostly about the book itself. today given the intense worldwide focus on the shattering events in ukraine, the arab world is no longer at the center of attention for those that follow the global politics democracy in some might say that the arab spring is a brief direction left behind a great deal of violence and very little democracy, yet it would be premature to discount the impact of the uprisin

the university of rochester at the time i believe is now at google in a couple researchers at johns hopkins. but the researchers said is they take a dataset of 6,600,000 tweets, geo-tagged from here in new york and they analyzed and semantically to frame a computer program to know when someone must retain about how they were feeling, specifically how they were feeling. it's actually a difficult problem computationally because we use terminology that suggestiveness all the time and figurative ways. i have deeper fever or i'm sick of justin bieber and those things seem like they should be the same thing. so you had to train the computer program to distinguish between figurative uses of illness and actually use of illness were nn based on >> host: today i'm feeling feverish. >> guest: bright. so while this strange nuances and then they looked at where people were, where they were going, they said they were going to be with and for how long. collocation is a big component and based on this, they were able to predict 18% of all the person-to-person flu transmissions that occurred between the peo

that is how delicate these arms are built at johns hopkins university. and not only that, but cleat exo-- complete exoskeletons are next. we are going to bypass the spinal cord for these people. think of the people who are injured because of car accidents, strokes, football accidents on the football field. hundreds of them, thousands of people who are parly or -- partially or fully paralyzed. we're going to make sure they walk again by bypassing the spinal cord. now, at duke university there's one scientist from brazil. he's creating this exoskeleton for somebody who is totally paralyzed so that he can start the world cup soccer games in brazil. so the next time you watch the international soccer cup games in brazil, they will be initiated by somebody who is a vegetable, totally paralyzed, with an exoskeleton. and in japan they're looking at surrogates, avatars like the movie, "avatar.
