    Issue No. 84 Fall/Winter 2013 Town of Malta Founded 1802 A MESSAGE FROM THE SUPERVISOR Dear Resident: The construction of GlobalFoundries has been transformational for Saratoga County and Malta. In the past 8 years we have seen GlobalFoundries not only build the first semiconductor manufacturing plant, but add to their 229 acre complex a large administrative building and then a Technology Development Center, bringing the total workforce to 2,000. On August 19, the Town Board amended zoning for the Campus to clear the way for even further expansion. See companion article on page 2. This driving force in our economy has brought a “second tier” of businesses - INSIDE THIS ISSUE: high-tech suppliers such as; Tokyo Electron, KLA Tencor, DNSE, Novellus, Applied Malta’s New Businesses Materials, Ovivo Water, Ebara Technologies, Lansing Engineering and Variant Technologies. Round Lake Road Improvement Plans And, there are a number of “third tier” businesses that have emerged. Page 2 contains a list of these businesses. Senior Corner As we jokingly say, Malta “The Center of the Universe” has become the job center for Saratoga County. During this growth period, the Town Board has provided Residents In The News steady leadership to not only support economic development, but to protect our quality of life. We welcome all our new businesses to The Malta Town Family. We welcome your EVENTS: culture of excellence and public service. We encourage you and your employees Malta Community Day to become part of our community in ways best for you, whether as a volunteer for our fire departments, donor at our blood drives or members of our theatre group.

  • In Other Words: Maltese Primary School Teachers' Perceptions Of
    In Other Words: Maltese Primary School Teachers’ Perceptions of Cross-linguistic Practices and Flexible Language Pedagogies in Bilingual and Multilingual English Language Classes. Michelle Panzavecchia A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy The University of Sheffield School of Education September 2020 Abstract As a result of globalisation, bilingualism and multilingualism are becoming more of a norm rather than an exception and speaking two or more languages is associated with multiple benefits. Bilingual social identities are shaped by language acquisition and socialisation, and educators construct their own teacher identities and pedagogies through their past personal, educational, and professional experiences. This study provides a basis for critical reflection and discussion amongst English language primary school Maltese teachers, to explore how their bilingual identities affect their pedagogical practices. The study probes into teacher’s perceptions on whether, why and how cross-linguistic pedagogies are beneficial within bilingual and multilingual language classroom settings. Data was collected through in-depth semi-structured interviews with nine purposely selected primary school teachers, each with over ten years teaching experience, to explore their bilingual identities and beliefs, how being bilingual may affect their pedagogical practices, and to investigate whether they believe they are using cross-linguistic practices during English lessons. The process of data collection and analysis highlighted the fact that educators’ perceived pedagogies, beliefs, and language preferences stem from their own personal, educational, and teaching experiences, and are embedded in Malta’s socio-cultural context. Maltese teachers believe that they use fluid language practices in their classrooms as a natural part of their daily communicative practices, and as a means of reaching out to all their students.

  • Implicit Linking of Food Entities in Social Media
    Implicit Linking of Food Entities in Social Media Wen-Haw Chong and Ee-Peng Lim Singapore Management University, 80 Stamford Road, Singapore 178902, [email protected], [email protected] Abstract. Dining is an important part in people's lives and this explains why food-related microblogs and reviews are popular in social media. Identifying food entities in food-related posts is important to food lover profiling and food (or restaurant) recommendations. In this work, we conduct Implicit Entity Linking (IEL) to link food-related posts to food entities in a knowledge base. In IEL, we link posts even if they do not contain explicit entity mentions. We first show empirically that food venues are entity-focused and associated with a limited number of food entities each. Hence same-venue posts are likely to share common food entities. Drawing from these findings, we propose an IEL model which incorporates venue-based query expansion of test posts and venue-based prior distributions over entities. In addition, our model assigns larger weights to words that are more indicative of entities. Our experiments on Instagram captions and food reviews shows our proposed model to outperform competitive baselines. Keywords: entity linking, food entities, query expansion 1 Introduction In social media, food-related topics are highly popular. Many users post food- related microblogs or reviews on various platforms such as Instagram, Foursquare, Yelp, etc. Such user generated content can be mined for profiling food lovers or for food and dining venue recommendations. In fact, identifying the local cuisines in posts has been justified [13] as useful for helping tourists in their dining choices.

  • HAPPY~O LIDAYS! the ORWRANKINGS for 1984 the Ohio Racewalker Is Proud to Announce :.Ts Annual World and U.S
    HI VOWME XXI NUMBER10 COWMBUS1 OHIO DEX:FMBER1984 HAPPY~O LIDAYS! THE ORWRANKINGS FOR 1984 The Ohio Racewalker is proud to announce :.ts annual world and U.S. rankinRS for both men and womenat theprimary distances. As usual, the whole world has been impi.tiently awaiting the momentous announcement of these prestigious rankings. Of course, those honored receive absolutely no reward and may never even hear of their eelection--only a few hep individuals read the ORW,but how much glory is their in race walking anyway. This marks the 14th consecutive year the ORWhas ranked the wor'.d •s top male walkers at 20 and 50 kilometers, the 12th time we have ranked U.S men at the sameutwo distances, and the seventh year for rankin g women, both world and .S, at 5 and 10 kilometers. (Actually, we have not ranked U. s . womenat 5 Kmthis year, because there was just too littl e action, at least repcrted to us, to justify rankings.) The rankings ar e based on the athletes• record over the season and represent a consensus of opinion between your editor and absolutely nobody else -- they are subjective and arbitrary. Criteria used are times, record in major competition, head-to­ head competition, and personal bias. The rankings at each distance are fol.lowed by lists of the top times for the yaar. 1984WOBLn 20 KMRANKINc:3 1. Ernesto Canto, Mexico 5. Ralf Kowalsky, Ger.
