SIGs?

I couldnt find links to the ACL special interest groups. I guess a good place is the first page under topics. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Ioan (talk • contribs) 17 December 2006.

I added a link on the main page, under Organizations, departments, ... --Pdturney 09:31, 17 December 2006 (EST)

I am not sure that's the appropriate section. There is only about two dozens of SIGs, and they are not classified geographically like the other organisations. I think they should go straight on the first page, because they are an important part of ACL. --Ioan 09:53, 17 December 2006 (EST)

There's no requirement to classify them geographically like the other organisations. But if you want to put them somewhere else, go ahead. Be bold. --Pdturney 10:27, 17 December 2006 (EST)

Companies?

How about a bullet for commercial companies handling NLP tasks?

I added "companies" to "Organizations, departments, institutions, groups". By the way, please sign your messages by clicking on the button in edit mode that looks like a signature.

Favicon?

The ACL favicon is not being displayed. Is this on purpose? --Grano 15:19, 31 October 2006 (EST)

It's working now. Thanks for bringing it to our attention. --Pdturney 19:39, 31 October 2006 (EST)

Your body will further not gain weight. So, you can maintain a good body shape further for a long time. We have heard of what the significant part our water intake plays in quest to lose some weight, and it actually works. Drinking minimum of 64ounces of water every day has a lot of beneficial effects on body. Drinking lots of water helps in making us feel fuller and relieves cravings or suppresses hunger, although we aren’t eating much we generally do.

Pay attention to the hunger signs.

How many times we eat for sake of eating while we are actually not hungry? At times we feel like nibbling & picking at food throughout a day, however doing this will lead to increasing the calorie intake excessively. We must just eat while we feel hungry physically, not restless and bored, in need of the comfort and to relieve stress and just because others over us are eating. Body will show some obvious signs of the hunger while our stomach feels empty, and that makes growling & rumbling sounds. One more sign our body requires fuel is while we start to feel weak, irritable or shaky. Decrease portion sizes

Lots of us are guilty to eat far more than body needs in just one sitting. Eating even when we are full and we keep on eating because food is delicious, and we think we should empty our plate and we might not like an idea of food getting wasted, or we don’t want to offend in case, we are dining at friends or family homes.
