    Welcome from the President ELCOME TO THE 29TH ANNUAL Great Taste of the Midwest. At a time when we probably should be over- whelmed by the explosive growth of the craft beer industry, we are too busy trying to figure Wout how to make this event a better experience for all. To that end, we are excited that we have maintained the same foot- print as we’ve had in past years, but have added more brewer space, by moving our merch tents and adding a few new tents to a previously restricted staff only area of the park (inside the “loop road”). This allows us bring in some new brewers while continuing to bring back the brewers that you come to expect to see at the Great Taste of the Midwest. I would like to thank Great Taste Chairman, Mark Garthwaite and the multitude of volunteers that make this event happen. We are all very proud that this is the only event of this size that is run by a 100% volunteer effort. Their passion for beer is a large part of what makes a volunteer effort of this size a success. I would also like to thank all of the Brewers that come to the Great Taste of the Midwest. All of “our” passion for beer flows from their passion. As the event has grown and produced more return Brewers each year, we’ve come to think of the Brewers as family coming home every year on the second Saturday in August. Sadly, I have to acknowledge the passing of several MHTG members since the last Great Taste.

    NAACL-HLT 2021 Graph-Based Methods for Natural Language Processing Proceedings of the Fifteenth Workshop June 11, 2021 ©2021 The Association for Computational Linguistics Order copies of this and other ACL proceedings from: Association for Computational Linguistics (ACL) 209 N. Eighth Street Stroudsburg, PA 18360 USA Tel: +1-570-476-8006 Fax: +1-570-476-0860 [email protected] ISBN 978-1-954085-38-1 ii Introduction Welcome to TextGraphs, the Workshop on Graph-Based Methods for Natural Language Processing. The fifteenth edition of our workshop is being organized online on June 11, 2021, in conjunction with the 2021 Annual Conference of the North American Chapter of the Association for Computational Linguistics (NAACL-2021). The workshops in the TextGraphs series have published and promoted the synergy between the field of Graph Theory (GT) and Natural Language Processing (NLP). The mix between the two started small, with graph theoretical frameworks providing efficient and elegant solutions for NLP applications. Graph- based solutions initially focused on single-document part-of-speech tagging, word sense disambiguation, and semantic role labeling, and became progressively larger to include ontology learning and information extraction from large text collections. Nowadays, graph-based solutions also target on Web-scale applications such as information propagation in social networks, rumor proliferation, e-reputation, multiple entity detection, language dynamics learning, and future events prediction, to name a few. The target audience comprises researchers working on problems related to either Graph Theory or graph- based algorithms applied to Natural Language Processing, Social Media, and the Semantic Web. This year, we received 22 submissions and accepted 17 of them for oral presentation (12 long papers and 5 short papers).

In the “normal” situation, we would all be cleaning our houses, preparing for Maa to come, buying fireworks, deciding costumes for Halloween and making endless plans for pandal hopping.

We all look forward to this time of year and eagerly await to spend time with our loved ones. However, do not be disheartened. With all the new technology, you can easily keep in touch and virtually enjoy with your family and friends. You could have a Halloween costume party or a good online “adda” session with your best friends! It is the ethos of fun and love that is the most important, especially during this season. The festive times really do bring out the best in people. The amount of love and celebration that is in the air is unparalleled. In these dark hours, this time is just what people need to get their spirits up.

Around 2,000 years ago when the Celts were in what is present-day Ire- land, the United Kingdom, and northern France, they creat- ed Samhain. The ancient Celt- ic Festival of Samhain, which included people having bon- fires and dressing up to scare off ghosts and other evil spir- its. The spirits were thought to damage crops and cause trou- ble. Samhain is believed to have started Halloween. Around this time period, November 1 was the day that marked the end of summer and the beginning of winter, which was associated with death. They believed that the worlds of the living and the dead collided on the night of October 31, so they created Samhain. Celts believed that the spirits not only caused trouble and damaged crops, but also affected the priests as well. They believed that the spirits made it easier for the priests to predict the future. To please the Celtic deities and prevent Trevor Alveshere/Dakota Student the spread of trouble, the Celts Halloween has an extensive history.

They put cakes outside their houses for them. They put lights in their houses. They believed ghosts didn’t like lights. Now people don’t believe in ghosts but they love Halloween. Sometimes they have parties. People make lanterns out of pumpkins. Children and teenagers dress up. You can see ghosts, witches, monsters, skeletons and many more costumes. They play a game called apple bobbing. They put apples in a bucket of water. You have to put your arms behind your back.

    Guide to Starting a Restaurant Business November 23, 2009 by Leo 287 Views Leave a Comment Ask a restaurant consultant about opening a restaurant and you’re likely to get a succinct answer: “Don’t!” The failure rate is high, the costs can soar out of control and the hours are brutal. If you remain convinced that you are really want to be successful with this kind of business, put on your toque, brush up on your knife skills and forge ahead. When you start your own restaurant business you will never be bored. There are constantly new challenges to face, but they are usually good ones, like how to juggle a reception dinner while at the same time feeding your regular Saturday night crowd. Unlike being a chef, you do not have to go to school or take any specialized training to own a restaurant. However, to ensure your restaurant is a success it helps to know as much as possible about the industry. People love to eat. We find the social environment of restaurants the perfect break from cooking, and relish the adventure of tasting new menus. If you’re seeking the life of haute cuisine, and are wondering how to start a restaurant, we’ve listed our resources and tools that will help you effectively write a restaurant business plan and get your business cooking. Consider the following list before starting: 1. Clarify your concept and put all the proposed details–from decor to dessert choices–in writing. If you can’t write about them, they need more thought.
