Township and Range made easy! Use this free township and range locator to search by address, place, land parcel description or GPS coordinates (latitude, longitude). View and search the Public Land Survey System (PLSS), also known as Congressional townships or survey townships, all the way down to the section, quarter section and quarter quarter section level, all overlaid on a fully interactive Google Map. Optionally, add section township range labels, and overlay counties and cities as well!
Quick Tips for using this Idaho Section Township and Range map tool
- There are four ways to get started using this Idaho Section Township and Range map tool
- In the "Search places" box above the map, type an address, city, etc. and choose the one you want from the auto-complete list
- Click the map to see the Section, Township and Range for where you clicked (Monthly Contributors also get Dynamic Maps)
- Use the "Find parcel" tool below the map to search for a known Section, Township and Range, for example from a land deed. Tip: You don't have to specify a Section if you only know the Township and Range. Also, you can leave the PM (Prime Meridian) set to "any" and the tool will let you know if there are multiple matches.
- To search using GPS coordinates use the "Find lat long" box in the top right above the map*
- Click the ◉ button in the upper right corner of the map to use your current location. Click the ◉ button again to automatically update your location every 1, 5 or 10 minutes (Monthly Contributors also get an option to update every several seconds).**
As you click on townships, sections and aliquot parts smaller than a section (such as quarter sections), the approximate area in acres (square miles for townships) will be shown for the yellow-highlighted unit. Only use this acreage as an approximate, as it is a GIS-computed area and may not correspond with the official survey-recorded area.
- Optionally, check the "Show labels" checkbox in the lower left corner of the map to see the names of township and range, section and quarter quarter section on the map. More labels will appear as you zoom in. There are also options to show US city limits and county lines on the map.
- Subscribe to receive notification of tool updates and usage tips
* You can search using various formats of latitude longitude, including degrees, minutes and seconds; degrees
and decimal minutes; or decimal degrees
** The "Locate" button will be more accurate on smartphones and other devices containing a GPS; desktop browsers typically show an approximate location
Section Township Range is part of the U.S. Public Land Survey System (PLSS), which is administered by the United States Department of the Interior's Bureau of Land Management (BLM). The PLSS is a system of land surveying that was created by the United States government in the early 1800s. The system divides land into rectangular parcels, which are then further subdivided into smaller parcels. The PLSS is used to survey much of the land in the United States, including land that is owned by the federal government, state governments, and private individuals.
The following states use the BLM's PLSS and are covered by this Section Township Range map tool: Alabama, Alaska, Arizona, Arkansas, California, Colorado, Florida, Idaho, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Louisiana, Michigan, Minnesota, Mississippi, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, Nevada, New Mexico, North Dakota, Ohio (partial), Oklahoma, Oregon, South Dakota, Utah, Washington, Wisconsin, Wyoming. The remaining U.S. states typically use the older metes and bounds system and are therefore not covered by this tool.
Find Sections, Townships and Ranges by radius or by drawing a line or shape
- To find Sections, Townships and Ranges within a radius or near a line or shape you draw*:
- Click the "Selection Tools" button on the left side of the map
- – RADIUS SELECT: To find Sections, Townships and Ranges within a radius, specify the mileage in the "Select map
features within x miles of the shapes I draw" box, then use the Point "Add a marker" tool to draw a point
in the middle of the radius
– TOUCHING A LINE OR SHAPE: To find Sections, Townships and Ranges that touch a line or a shape you draw, use the Line tool or Shape tool to draw the shape, double-clicking when finished
– WITHIN DISTANCE OF A LINE OR SHAPE: To find Sections, Townships and Ranges that are within a distance of a line or a shape you draw, first specify the mileage in the "Select map features within x miles of the shapes I draw" box, then use the Line tool or Shape tool to draw the shape, double-clicking when finished
- The Sections, Townships and Ranges will be highlighted and listed in a "Results from map" box below the
map, where you can copy the selected Sections, Townships and Ranges for use in a spreadsheet or other
– Optionally, keep drawing shapes to select more Sections, Townships and Ranges
- When you are finished selecting Townships and Ranges, click the "DONE Selecting" button on the left side of the map
* Sections, Townships and Ranges will get selected if any part of the shape you draw falls within the Section, Township and Range

AUC Tackles Pressing Challenges 'Toward a Better Future for Humanity'
AUC faculty and graduate students from the chemistry and biology departments as well as the Institute of Global Health and Human Ecology, joined over 300 researchers from around the globe at the 18th International Conference of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology (ICBMB) under the theme, "Toward a Better Future for Humanity."
Hosted at AUC and chaired by Distinguished University Professor of Chemistry Hassan Azzazy, the conference discussed a variety of topics that address global and national challenges to improve human life, from health diagnostics and cutting-edge findings in cancer treatment to genomic studies of neurodegenerative diseases and the production of biofuels from agricultural waste.
"The conference highlighted the need to form national and regional alliances in specific research areas, develop sustainable research collaborations with relevant African societies, and provide further opportunities and support for young researchers as well as women biochemists and molecular biologists," said Azzazy.
Organized annually by the Academy of Scientific Research and Technology's Egyptian National Committee, "ICBMB represents the largest regional gathering of biochemists and molecular biologists," Azzazy explained.
The 18th ICBMB included 78 lectures and poster presentations, with researchers from the Federation of African Societies of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology as well as prominent speakers from India, the United States, Nigeria, the United Arab Emirates, Switzerland, Saudi Arabia, South Africa, Germany and Egypt.
"A major highlight this year is the active participation of young researchers and women scientists in various conference activities," Azzazy said.

Research Strategy: Working to Australian MS Research Strengths
MS Research Australia implements an informed scientific agenda to accelerate advances that will prevent, better treat and ultimately cure multiple sclerosis.
The MS Research Australia scientific agenda focuses on funding research that will increase our understanding of the biology driving MS and how to stop MS from triggering the disease, causing further damage and how to repair existing damage that can reverse disability. This is a medium to long-term strategy. It requires extensive funding, collaboration and coordination.
In the short term, MS Research Australia funds clinical research that measures the benefits of alternative symptom management approaches. Social research through the Australian MS Longitudinal Study measures the physical, social and economic impact of MS on Australians for advocacy and service development purposes.
MS Research Australia Research Strategy Overview
- What triggers MS? Can we prevent the onset of MS?
- What biology is driving MS? How can we stop it?
- Can existing neural damage be repaired or replaced?
To address these significant unknowns, MS Research Australia invests in five research streams. Funding in these streams includes both investigator-driven applications and 'platform' funding (see a summary in the table, and more detailed information below):
|Research Stream||MS Research Australia Funded Research|
|1. Social and Applied Research||
|2. Genetics and Epidemiology|
|3. Immunology and Virology||
|5. Clinical Trials|
How MS Research Australia Identifies High Quality Research
MS Research Australia identifies significant MS research in two ways; the first is via an annual peer-review process, the second is by proactively identifying, coordinating and funding major collaborative projects called 'Platforms'.
1. Supporting Serendipitous Discoveries
Each year MS Research Australia initiates a rigorous international peer-review process to identify high quality MS research to fund. Annually MS Research Australia will fund approximately $2million in projects and capacity-building grants including fellowships and scholarships.
MS Research Australia grants give scientists an opportunity to focus on generating new insights that inform our understanding of the disease. Capacity building is an investment in the future of MS research by creating opportunities for early career researchers to gain scientific training, to learn from leading MS experts and nurture a commitment to cure MS. These early career researchers are the next generation of MS experts.
For more information on:
2. PLATFORMS: Proactively Accelerating Blue Sky Research
Platforms represent a major investment in infrastructure or a collaboration that will accelerate MS research activity. MS Research Australia acts as a catalyst for blue sky research. We work with researchers to undertake the research that other funding agencies consider 'too risky' to fund but has the potential to yield the greatest outcomes for People with MS.
With guidance from the broader scientific and health professional community, MS Research Australia establishes and maintains national collaborations to address scientific questions that no one researcher could solve in isolation.
Currently, MS Research Australia has several Platforms underway including:
- MSRA Gene Bank and ANZgene Consortium
- MSRA Brain Bank
- MSRA Clinical Trials Network
- Australian MS Longitudinal Study
- Proteomics Collaboration
- PrevANZ - vitamin D MS Prevention Trial
In developing a Platform, MS Research Australia consults with as many relevant Australian and international researchers as possible.
This ensures that we only fund Platforms that:
- complement the world-wide research effort without duplication,
- fund a highly focused initiative with clear goals and timeframes,
- and identify potential obstacles early and solutions to overcome them quickly.
MS Research Australia's research approach has changed the way MS researchers can do MS research in Australia.

I am working on the statement " A graph $G$ is a $nKn$ (collection of $n$ number of complete graph each of order $n$) graph if and only if $\bar{G}$ is $α(G) = α(\bar{G}) = n$ and $(p-n)$-regular, where $p$ is the order of $G$ and $α(G)$ is the independence number of $G$ with $n\geqslant 1$."
The converse part seem to be a confusion. Kindly help me with it.

Perhaps you could edit the meaning of $a(G)$ into your question. – Gerry Myerson May 9 '12 at 12:58
α(G) is the independence number of G – James Alex May 9 '12 at 14:07
I'm not sure I'm understanding the question properly. Can you clarify why the graph $G$ consisting of a 3-cycle and a 4-cycle would not be a counterexample? It would seem to satisfy $n=3$, $p=7$, but it is obviously not a $3K_3$. – Will Orrick May 10 '12 at 16:48
_USER_ The graph you mentioned is 2 regular, not (7-3)=4 regular. – Graphth May 10 '12 at 20:20
_USER_ : Hmmm. I had understood that it was $\overline{G}$ that was required to be $(p-n)$-regular, rather than $G$. Perhaps this is the root of my confusion. I'm now not sure that I understand how $3K_3$ is defined. Wouldn't $p$ equal 9 in that case, and $G$ have to be 6-regular? – Will Orrick May 10 '12 at 21:41
1 Answer 1
(Extended compilation of comments.)
While it is true that the disjoint union of $n$ copies of $K_n$ has the properties
 1. $\alpha(G)=\alpha(\overline G)=n$ (where $\alpha$ is the independence number)
 2. $\overline{G}$ is $p-n$ regular (where $p$ is the number of vertices of $G$)
the converse is not true. not every graph with properties 1 and 2. Will Orrick gave the following counterexample in comments: let $G$ be the disjoint union of two cycles $C_3 $ and $C_4$; then $\alpha(G)=\alpha(\overline G)=3$ and $\overline{G}$ is $4$-regular where $4=7-3$.
Brian M. Scott then observed that if $\alpha(\overline G)=n$ is strengthened to
(*) every maximal independent set in $\overline G$ has cardinality $n$
then the conclusion $G=nK_n$ follows. Indeed, (*) says that every maximal clique of $G$ has cardinality $n$. Therefore, every vertex is contained in a copy of $K_n$. Since $G$ is $n$-regular (by virtue of 2), it is a disjoint union of some copies of $K_n$. The condition $\alpha(G)=n$ places the number of the copies of $K_n$ at $n$.

text: The study estimated the relationship between carbon dioxide, crop and livestock production index in Ghana: Estimating the long-run elasticities and variance decomposition by employing a time series data spanning from _PHONE_ using both fit regression and ARDL models. There was evidence of a long-run equilibrium relationship between carbon dioxide emissions, crop production index and livestock production index. Evidence from the study shows that a 1% increase in crop production index will increase carbon dioxide emissions by 0.52%, while a 1% increase in livestock production index will increase carbon dioxide emissions by 0.81% in the long-run. There was evidence of a bidirectional causality between a crop production index and carbon dioxide emissions and a unidirectional causality exists from livestock production index to carbon dioxide emissions. Evidence from the variance decomposition shows that 37% of future fluctuations in carbon dioxide emissions are due to shocks in the crop production index while 18% of future fluctuations in carbon dioxide emissions are due to shocks in the livestock production index. Efforts towards reducing pre-production, production, transportation, processing and post-harvest losses are essential to reducing food wastage which affects Ghana's carbon footprint.

Minimize Distance between 3D Point Sets with Rotation and Translation
Date: 07/15/2007 at 14:32:21
From: Juan
Subject: find a rot-translation matrix for fitting two 3D point sets
I need to fit two sets of 3D points (a, b, c... n) and (a', b', c'...
n') in such a way that the Euclidean distances between the point
pairs (a,a'), (b,b')...(n,n') is minimum. I can apply only rotations
and translations but no scale changes.
Is it possible to find a least-squares solution to this problem? There
are lots of web pages describing methods for fitting the least-squares
solution between points and functions but I was unable to find
anything between two sets of points.
I suppose that if I represent X as the first dataset and Y as the
second dataset the classic least-squares method
Xt = Y
t = (X^TX)-1 X^T Y
should be able to provide a t matrix. However, this matrix can
contain scaling and I need that the transformation involves only
rotation and translation.
I have tried to use an iterative algorithm that applies rotations and
translations. It works fine, but it's time consuming and I am
convinced that there are far more efficient methods.

Generating random numbers in PowerShell
Share this:
When creating PowerShell scripts, very often we need to generate random numbers to use in several scenarios. In Today's post, we are going a couple of examples how to use it.
Solution
The easiest way to use random is typing random and a random number will be generated, however, we have some flexibility to get random numbers based on our requirements.
We can use the Get-Random cmdlet and provide the maximum and minimum values to define the range to return a number within that defined boundaries, as depicted in the image below.
Get-Random -Maximum 50 -Minimum 30
image
A good example to use random is when using Start-Sleep and we want to add some random delays. In the example below, we create a random number between 5 and 15, and we add 6 and start a delay (in that example of 16 seconds).

Here is a build system that: uses platform-independent build files; generates platform-specific build files for multiple platforms; and is template based.
_URL_
"Bakefile is cross-platform, cross-compiler native makefiles generator. It takes compiler-independent description of build tasks as input and generates native makefile (autoconf's Makefile.in, Visual C++ project, bcc makefile etc.)"
Here is an example of a platform-independent build file:
<exe id="foo">
 <app-type>gui</app-type>
 <sources>foo.c bar.c</sources>
</exe>
The following command line would generate a platform-specific build file for Microsoft Visual C++ on Windows:
bakefile -fmsvs2008prj file.bkl
or for Macintosh:
bakefile -fxcode2 file.bkl
The above example uses the "exe" template, which in turn uses platform-specific templates to implement executables differently on Windows, Mac, Linux etc. Further information on templates:
_URL_
Finally a publication from July 26, 2005 mentioning bakefile:
_URL_

The patent is a very exact description of automake & autoconf toolchain:
_URL_
Autoconf is an extensible package of M4 macros that produce shell scripts to automatically configure software source code packages. These scripts can adapt the packages to many kinds of UNIX-like systems without manual user intervention. Autoconf creates a configuration script for a package from a template file that lists the operating system features that the package can use, in the form of M4 macro calls.
Producing configuration scripts using Autoconf requires GNU M4. You should install GNU M4 (at least version 1.4.6, although 1.4.13 or later is recommended) before configuring Autoconf, so that Autoconf's configure script can find it. The configuration scripts produced by Autoconf are self-contained, so their users do not need to have Autoconf (or GNU M4).

I believe that the imake tool used for over a decade to build X11 did this with Makefiles.
There is an old O'Reilly book about imake that would substantiate this in more detail, but the imake FAQ from 1997 says right at the top:
What is imake? How does it work?
imake is a Makefile-generator that is intended to make it easier to develop software portably for multiple systems. … Machine-dependencies are specified explicitly in a set of configuration files. Instead of writing a Makefile, you write an Imakefile, which is a machine-independent description of what targets you want to build. This way your description file doesn't need to change when you build your software on different systems. imake reads the Imakefile and combines the specifications in it with the proper machine dependencies from the configuration files to write a Makefile tailored for a specific system.
After applying the dictionary
 - build system configuration file = Makefile
 - unified build system configuration file = Imakefile
this seems to be exactly the claim.
5
Cmake [ _URL_ ] is a cross-platform system for building makefiles from templates.
Quoting their site:
"CMake is used to control the software compilation process using simple platform and compiler independent configuration files. CMake generates native makefiles and workspaces that can be used in the compiler environment of your choice."
2
There is an excellent build system that covers off each point in claim 1 and simultaneously takes it much further. The build system is part of "Real Time Software Components" (RTSC). It employs a scriptable build system revolving around a tool suite called XDCTools.
With XDCTools, a project defines its build configuration in a file with a .bld extension (Claim 1.1). The platform-specific build steps to perform, for any number of platforms, are also defined in this or other .bld files (Claim 1.2). What targets to build for are further defined in the same or other .bld files. The so-called 'templates' are the scripted build steps encapsulated in the .bld files. (Claim 1.3). After the .bld files have been processed, a series of makefiles are generated, at least one for each selected platform/target. (Claim 1.4). The makefiles are 'provided' in an output directory (Claim 1.5).
XDCTools is responsible for building the entire project and does not just spit out makefiles as its end product. The makefiles that it does produce are typically intermediate products that are then used by the tool to complete the builds. Unfortunately, documentation of the specific workings of the build system is largely buried within descriptions of RTSC's higher level functions such as creating, producing and consuming software 'modules'.

Is it possible to prevent mouseDown effect when widget already displaying selected effect
Is it possible to prevent the display of a "mouseDown" effect when the widget is already displayed with the "selected" effect?
Reproducible Steps:
 1. User clicks on a button, button displays "mouseDown" effect.
 2. User releases the mouse and the button displays with a "Selected" effect.
 3. User clicks on the selected button.
When the user clicks on an already selected button, I don't want to see the mouseDown effect; I want to continue to see the selected effect.
Is there a way to prevent the mouseDown effect from being displayed when the selected effect is already being displayed?
Hi _USER_
Do you mind elaborating a bit more on which Style Properties you have defined in your Selected style vs. your MouseDown style?
As you've noticed in RP 10, the Style Effects will blend together in the prototype. However, if you do not want the blending to occur, you can simply define the specific style properties on the Selected style, and those properties will override the properties on the MouseDown style.
For example, let's say you have a button with the following styles:
 - Base Style: white background / black font color
 - MouseDown Style: blue font color
 - Selected Style: grey fill color
Let's say when the button is in a selected state and the user mouses down on the button, you do not want to show the MouseDown blue font color.
In order to achieve this, you can simply define the font color that you want to display in that scenario in the Selected style (e.g. black font color). Once a font color is defined within the Selected style, it will no longer be overridden when the user mouses down on the button in the prototype.
The same would apply for other style properties you have defined in your style effects.
Hope this helps!
Hi Frankie
I've attached my file. There is definitely something weird going on as I don't even see the colour for the mouseDown event any more.
When the widget is created from dragging a "Primary Button" onto the canvas, everything works as you described above. However, if you modify the shape of the button, the mouseEvent does not occur as expected.
Any help would be appreciated.

Hi _USER_,
Thank you for sharing your file. I was able to reproduce this issue on my end as well. This appears to be a bug with rendering style effects in the prototype for custom shape widgets. I've filed this to have our team investigate further. Thank you for letting us know!

John Fleming (_PHONE_)
John Fleming (_PHONE_) was a Scottish landscape painter who lived and worked in Greenock. He is best known for the series of views he painted for Swan's Lakes of Scotland, published at Glasgow in 1834.
Fleming was born in about 1792 and apprenticed to a house painter at the age of fourteen. He is thought to have had some contact with the portrait painter James Saxon before spending some time in London, where he worked as a housepainter and took the opportunity to the study paintings in galleries there.
As a landscapist, Fleming specialised in small paintings of Scottish scenery, which became widely known through a series of collaborations with the Glasgow engraver and publisher Joseph Swan. He first worked with Swan in 1828 on a publication entitled Select Views of Glasgow and its environs, to which the Glasgow artist John Knox also contributed. Fleming and Swan followed this with Select Views on the Clyde (1830) and Select Views of the Lakes of Scotland (1834).The last of these, consisting of a total of 48 plates, issued in 16 parts, proved popular enough to justify the publication of further editions in 1836 and 1839.
Fleming also worked as a portrait painter and is listed as such in his first appearance in a local Greenock directory of 1831–2. From 1834 onwards he was listed as both a portrait and landscape painter. His portrait work seems to have been almost entirely commissioned by clients from within the town.
Fleming was a regular contributor to the Glasgow Exhibition of the Fine Arts series of the works of living British Artists, held under the patronage of the Glasgow Dilettanti Society between 1828 and 1838. He became an extraordinary member of the Glasgow Dilettanti Society and was elected a member of the West of Scotland Academy when he showed at its first exhibition in 1841. He also exhibited at the Royal Scottish Academy exhibitions of 1828, 1830 and 1837, showing two landscapes at each.
He died on 16 February 1845.

Purpose: Energy-discriminating, photon counting detectors (PCDs) are an emerging technology for spectroscopic imaging in CT. Current PCDs suffer from poor spectral separation due to charge sharing effects. We propose the coincidence bin as a mechanism for charge sharing compensation. The coincidence bin simply counts coincidences in the lowest level discriminator (LLD) of adjacent pixels. The estimator uses the coincidence bin as if it were an energy bin to improve material decomposition estimates. Unlike other charge sharing compensation mechanisms, it does not reduce the count rate capability of the detector. We compare the impact of the coincidence at low flux against charge summing. Because charge sharing is often under the LLD threshold, we examined the incremental benefit of lowering the LLD from a standard (30 keV) to reduced threshold (10 keV).
Methods: The interaction of photons with the CdTe substrate was simulated using GEANT4. Separate Monte Carlo simulations are used to model the charge collected in pixels, modeling these pixels as perfect collectors. Noise in material decomposition images was then estimated using the Cramer-Rao Lower Bound. We assumed a 120 kVp spectrum, a 20 cm thickness water background, 5 energy bins equally spaced from the LLD to 110 keV, and used 10,000 noise realizations to calculate the CRLB.
Results: The relative dose efficiency for an iodine material decomposition task is 32%, 54%, and 100% for a 5-bin simulated PCD without charge sharing compensation, with the coincidence bin, and with analog charge summing. When the LLD is reduced from 30 keV to 10 keV, the dose efficiencies change to 36%, 68%, and 98%. Benefits are somewhat less for a water material task.
Conclusion: The coincidence bin is a simple and effective mechanism for charge sharing compensation. With a carefully selected LLD threshold, it can nearly double spectral performance in certain tasks.

I have script that has some functions.
Can I run one of the function directly from command line?
something like

If the script only defines the functions and does nothing else, you can first execute the script within the context of the current shell using the source or. command and then simply call the function. See help source for more information.
share|improve this answer
Well, while the other answers are right - you can certainly do something else: if you have access to the bash script, you can modify it, and simply place at the end the special parameter $@ - which will expand to the arguments of the command line you specify, and since it's "alone" the shell will try to call them verbatim; and here you could specify the function name as the first argument. Example:
$ cat test.sh
testA() {
 echo "TEST A $1";
testB() {
 echo "TEST B $2";
# call arguments verbatim:
$ bash test.sh
$ bash test.sh testA
$ bash test.sh testA arg1 arg2
TEST A arg1
$ bash test.sh testB arg1 arg2
TEST B arg2
share|improve this answer
../myScript.sh && func()
First register it in the context, then call the functions in the shell scripts.
share|improve this answer
Briefly, no.
You can import all of the functions in the script into your environment with source (help source for details), which will then allow you to call them. This also has the effect of executing the script, so take care.
There is no way to call a function from a shell script as if it were a shared library.

The Conflict Dynamics Profile (CDP), an assessment instrument measuring conflict behaviors, is an excellent resource to increase self-awareness and improve conflict management skills. The CDP is unlike any other assessment tool in that it focuses specifically on conflict behaviors, rather than styles. It helps individuals and teams understand how they respond to conflict, what triggers can escalate conflict, and how to manage conflict more effectively.
Two versions of the instrument—the CDP-Individual (CDP-I) and CDP-360— emphasize an action-oriented approach which leads to real improvement. A thorough Development Guide provides information and tips for coping with conflict and building strong interpersonal relationships.
As a "self-report," the (CDP-I) looks at how you view yourself. It provides a simple way of helping you understand more about how you respond to conflict both behaviorally and emotionally.
The CDP-360 enables you to compare your own perceptions about how you behave during conflict with those of your colleagues. It provides a complete "conflict profile" with feedback from bosses, peers, and direct reports. The CDP-360 is particularly helpful for leaders, managers, and high-potential employees for whom conflict can be particularly challenging.
In addition to feedback on 15 scales, both versions of the CDP have a unique "hot buttons" section which identifies the emotional triggers that negatively impact relationships.
- Quick and easy administration
- Inexpensive pricing
- Behavioral feedback which is easy to understand
- Information on emotional aspects of conflict
- Abbreviated Development Guide
- Group reports for intact teams
- In-depth view of conflict behaviors
- Detailed analysis of the 15 scales
- Perceptions of colleagues
- Comprehensive Development Guide
- Concrete suggestions for improving behavior patterns
- Group reports for intact teams
Using the CDP
Since the topic of conflict is so universal, there are numerous ways to use the CDP. From leadership development training with individuals and teams to coaching settings with high-potential managers, the CDP can identify both strengths as well as problem areas.
The CDP is an excellent tool to explore how conflict is being managed in an organization. The language of the instrument provides an excellent starting point for how to describe and measure a desired approach to workplace conflict. By learning these new components as part of an orientation session, new employees can adjust their personal behavior to match up with the cultural norms of the organization.
The CDP is particularly helpful in team settings. In addition to each individual report, a group report can be generated that outlines team behaviors and responses. This report often opens up the door for effective conversations about acceptable responses to conflict and hot button triggers. Members of the team learn how certain behaviors might inadvertently trigger irritation in their colleagues as well as how to avoid pushing these hot buttons.
When a client is sensitive to feedback from others or reluctant to use a multi-rater instrument, the CDP can still be used to focus on conflict patterns. The CDP helps the client consider his or her responses to conflict and provides comparisons to a large norm group. It can be a helpful first step in diagnosing areas of strength and developmental opportunities.
Constructive Behavioral Scales:
- Perspective Taking – Putting yourself in the other person's position and trying to understand that person's point of view.
- Creating Solutions – Brainstorming with the other person, asking questions, and trying to create solutions to the problem.
- Expressing Emotions – Talking honestly with the other person and expressing your thoughts and feelings.
- Reaching Out – Reaching out to the other person, making the first move, and trying to make amends.
- Reflective Thinking – Analyzing the situation, weighing the pros and cons, and thinking about the best response.
- Delay Responding – Waiting things out, letting matters settle down, or taking a "time out" when emotions are running high.
- Adapting – Staying flexible, and trying to make the best of the situation.
Destructive Behavioral Scales:
- Winning at All Costs – Arguing vigorously for your own position and trying to win at all costs.
- Displaying Anger – Expressing anger, raising your voice, and using harsh, angry words.
- Demeaning Others – Laughing at the other person, ridiculing the other's ideas, and using sarcasm.
- Retaliating – Obstructing the other person, retaliating against the other, and trying to get revenge.
- Avoiding – Avoiding or ignoring the other person, and acting distant and aloof.
- Yielding – Giving in to the other person in order to avoid further conflict.
- Hiding Emotions – Concealing your true emotions even though feeling upset.
- Self-Criticizing – Replaying the incident over in your mind, and criticizing yourself for not handling it better.
Hot Button Scales:
- Unreliable – Those who are unreliable, miss deadlines and cannot be counted on.
- Overly-Analytical – Those who are perfectionists, over-analyze things and focus too much on minor issues.
- Unappreciative – Those who fail to give credit to others or seldom praise good performance.
- Aloof – Those who isolate themselves, do not seek input from others or are hard to approach.
- Micro-Managing – Those who constantly monitor and check up on the work of others.
- Self-Centered – Those who are self-centered or believe they are always correct.
- Abrasive – Those who are arrogant, sarcastic and abrasive.
- Untrustworthy – Those who exploit others, take undeserved credit or cannot be trusted.
- Hostile – Those who lose their tempers, become angry, or yell at others.
The CDP-I report contains graphs measuring constructive behaviors, destructive behaviors, and hot buttons. It is accompanied by a 40-page Development Guide which gives suggestions for improving behaviors and cooling hot buttons.
The CDP-360 report is much more comprehensive. In addition to containing graphs measuring constructive behaviors, destructive behaviors, and hot buttons, it also has narrative comments from other raters, measures of the organizational importance of various conflict behaviors, and indications of how the individual is viewed during different stages of conflict. Accompanying the CDP-360 report is a 115-page Development Guide with suggestions for development, recommended resources, and guidelines for successful action planning.

Dreadlocks are a unique and captivating hairstyle that has been embraced by people from various cultures and backgrounds for centuries. Whether you are starting your dreadlock journey or have been sporting them for years, one thing remains constant – the need for proper maintenance and care. This is where dreadlock products, particularly dreadlock sprays, come into play. In this article, we will explore the world of dreadlock spray and other essential dreadlock products to help you achieve and maintain your dream locks.
The Basics of Dreadlocks
Before delving into the world of dreadlock products, it's essential to understand the basics of dreadlocks. Dreadlocks, commonly referred to as "dreads," are formed by allowing hair to mat and tangle over time. This process can occur naturally or be initiated intentionally through techniques like backcombing, twisting, or interlocking. Once the hair has locked together, maintaining the shape and health of your dreadlocks becomes a significant consideration.
Why Use Dreadlock Products?
Dreadlock products are specifically formulated to address the unique needs of locked hair. They play a crucial role in ensuring that your dreads remain healthy, clean, and well-maintained. Here are some reasons why using dreadlock products, including dreadlock spray, is essential:
- Hydration: Dreadlocks can sometimes become dry and brittle. Dreadlock sprays are formulated to add moisture to your locks, preventing them from becoming too dry and prone to breakage.
- Cleanliness: Proper hygiene is essential for healthy dreadlocks. Dreadlock shampoos and cleansers help remove build-up and keep your locks fresh and clean.
- Maintenance: Dreadlock products like maintenance creams and gels help in maintaining the shape and structure of your dreads, preventing them from unraveling or merging together.
- Frizz Control: Dreadlock sprays and serums can help control frizz and keep your locks looking neat and well-defined.
Choosing the Right Dreadlock Spray
When it comes to dreadlock products, choosing the right dreadlock spray is crucial. Here are some factors to consider when selecting a dreadlock spray:
- Ingredients: Look for natural ingredients that are gentle on your hair and scalp. Avoid products with harsh chemicals that can damage your dreadlocks over time.
- Hydration: Choose a dreadlock spray that provides adequate moisture to your locks without leaving them too greasy or weighed down.
- Fragrance: Consider the scent of the dreadlock spray, as it will linger in your hair. Opt for a fragrance that you find pleasant and not too overpowering.
- Hold and Control: Depending on your dreadlock style, you may need a dreadlock spray with varying levels of hold and control. Some sprays provide a soft hold, while others offer a stronger hold to maintain the shape of your locks.
- Reviews: Research and read reviews from other individuals with dreadlocks to get insights into which products work best for different hair types and styles.
Other Essential Dreadlock Products
In addition to dreadlock sprays, there are several other dreadlock products you should consider for your hair care routine:
- Dreadlock Shampoo: A specialized dreadlock shampoo is designed to cleanse your locks without unraveling or damaging them.
- Dreadlock Wax: Dreadlock wax can be used sparingly to help hold your locks together and control frizz. However, be cautious not to overuse it, as it can lead to build-up.
- Maintenance Cream: These products are designed to help your locks stay in shape by providing a light hold while also moisturizing and conditioning your hair.
- Locking Gel: Locking gels are helpful during the initial stages of creating dreadlocks, helping to shape and set the locks as they form.
Dreadlocks are a beautiful and expressive hairstyle that requires care and attention to maintain their health and appearance. Using the right dreadlock products, including dreadlock sprays, can make a significant difference in the quality and longevity of your locks. Remember to choose products that are tailored to your hair type and style, and always follow a regular maintenance routine to keep your dreadlocks looking their best. With the right products and care, you can unlock the secret to beautiful, well-maintained dreadlocks that turn heads and leave a lasting impression.

End statistics with hammer
- 2+: Ends where the team scored at least two points (i.e. the team was able to capitalize the hammer).
- 1: Ends where the team scored one point (i.e. opponent forced the team to take only one point with hammer).
- 0: Ends that the team blanked with hammer.
- Steal: Ends where the opponent scored at least one point (i.e. opponent stole points without hammer).
End statistics without hammer
- Steal: Ends where the team scored at least one point (i.e. the team managed to steal points without hammer).
- 0: Ends where the opponent blanked the end with hammer.
- 1: Ends where the opponent scored one point (i.e. the team managed to force the opponent to take only one point with hammer).
- 2+: Ends where the opponent scored at least two points (i.e. the opponent managed to capitalize the hammer).
- Result avg: Average result (points for - points against)
- Hammer avg: Averate points / end in those ends where the team played with hammer.
- Without hammer avg: Average points / end where the team played without hammer.
- Hammer value: Describes the value of hammer to the average points the team scored in an end.
Remarks about statistics
Apart from the result average, last end scores have been ignored in those cases where the losing team scored points. The purpose of this is to clean the data from distortions so the statistics would describe how teams have played in "normal" situations.
Example: the winning team has given a steal of one point in the last to guarantee a victory. This end has been ignored because the situation in the game is not "normal"

What is the conjugate training system?
Also known as the "Westside Method" because it was devised by Louie Simmons of Westside Barbell gym in Columbus, Ohio, the conjugate training system has its roots in powerlifting. However, the effectiveness of this program extends well beyond the world of powerlifting.
I first began training the conjugate method for powerlifting purposes, but quickly saw that it had a great carryover when training youth athletes. Why? Well, beyond the fact that the method gets results, young people have a tendency to get bored. The conjugate system sees you utilize the same movement pattern over and over, but frequently varies how you train that pattern. So while you may know that the "main" lift in a given workout will be a squat, it could be a Front Squat, Zercher Squat, Back Squat, etc. This constant variety keeps things interesting and also allows new PRs to be set quite often (since the more exercises you train, the more chances for PRs you give yourself).
This article is intended to be a basic primer on the conjugate training system. I'd like to outline the basic premise of the program and the reasons I believe it to be beneficial, and if it sounds like something that might intrigue you, I'd encourage you to research it further.
So what exactly separates the conjugate method from any other training system? It's attention to detail and accessory training. The conjugate method breaks training down into 4-5 weekly training sessions:
- maximum effort upper (Bench Press)
- maximum effort lower (Squat and Deadlift)
- dynamic effort upper
- dynamic effort lower
- one extra day for posterior chain and weak point training
Let's say you're training the Bench Press for max effort. You'll begin with a quick warm-up routine followed by lifting a Bench Press variation until you reach a one-rep max. As soon as the max is reached (without failing), you'll move on to accessory training. Accessory movements should make up roughly 80% of your session. Here's a quick mock-up of a max effort upper training day in the conjugate training system:
- Barbell Floor Press x 10/8/6/4/2/1/1
- Strict Pull-Ups 4x8
- Rope Face Pulls 4x12
- Tricep Skull Crushers 4x10
- Bicep Hammer Curl 3x15
As you can see, only 20% of the workout is barbell-specific work used to train the main lift. The remaining 80% is made of specialty exercises trained for volume to help build the supporting muscles of the main lift. Repeat in similar fashion for the lower body max effort day, remembering to rotate through variations of the main lift and accessory lifts.
So how do I train on the dynamic effort days?
Dynamic effort is essentially training a load that is less than your one-rep max for maximum speed. In similar fashion to the max effort, you'll train a barbell lift followed by accessory movements. The barbell lift will vary similar to max effort, but you'll choose a percentage of your max to train as fast as possible while maintaining good form.
It's important to note that the separation of max effort and dynamic effort should be approximately 72 hours. If you train max effort lower body on Tuesday, the dynamic lower body should be on Friday to allow for adequate recovery. I believe that the dynamic effort is key in building explosive power in athletes, because it forces the athlete to move a sub-maximal weight with the highest rate of force possible. In order to continually progress, the percentage should raise roughly 5-10% each training session until a new max is established.
For example, a person with a 400-pound squat max would squat 50% (200 pounds) week one, 55% (220 pounds) week 2, and 60% (240 pounds) week 3. These percentages can be changed to ensure the athlete is moving the bar with max force. Accommodating resistance can also be added by rotating various bands and chains to the bar. If you decide to add bands or chains, lower the bar weight, but make sure the bar and accommodating resistance don't total more than 60-80% of your max. If you have a 400-pound Squat max, the total weight of the bar and the accommodating resistance should never exceed 320 pounds.
The conjugate training system places a high priority on physical preparedness. Sled Walks, Lunges, Jumps and Carries ensure that the athlete is prepped and ready for their given event. The system is also easy to scale for novice athletes; if you're not able to bench with proper form, Chin-Ups, Push-Ups or dumbbells can replace the barbell lift. For lower body; swings, jumps and bounds can replace the Squat and Deadlift.
The conjugate system is great at allowing the coach and athlete to design a program that fits the athlete's specific needs. Instead of opting for a one-size-fits-all training system, the conjugate method can easily accommodate an athlete who has a weak low back or hips by swapping in exercises to address their individual needs. By changing the variation on max effort days, you allow the athlete to set a new PR each session, allowing them to physically and mentally become a stronger athlete.
Here's a sample week of the conjugate program:
Monday: Max Effort Upper
- Incline Barbell Bench up to a 1 rep max
- Lat Pulldowns 4x12
- Shrugs 4x8
- Tricep Rollbacks 3x20
- Planks 3 x 45 seconds
Tuesday: Dynamic Lower Body
- Box Back Squat (using 50% of Back Squat 1-Rep Max) 8x2
- DB RDL 3x15
- Goblet Squat 3x12
- Box Jump 30 total reps
- Palof Press 3x10 each side
Wednesday: Off Day
Thursday: Dynamic Upper Body
- Barbell Bench Press (using 50% of 1-Rep Bench Press max) 6x3
- DB Floor Press 4x12
- 1-Arm DB Row 4 x 8 each side
- DB Hammer Curl 4x12
- Close Grip Push Up 3 x Failure
Friday: Max Lower Body
- Sumo Deadlift up to a 1 rep max
- Heavy DB Lunge 4x8 Each
- Band Hamstring Curl 4x15
- GHR 3x10
- Ab Wheel 3 x Failure
Next time you're searching for a system that'll make training exciting while also catering to the needs of your athletes, consider the tried and true conjugate method!

Life as We Knew It Summary & Study Guide includes comprehensive information and analysis to help you understand the book. This study guide contains the following sections:
This detailed literature summary also contains Topics for Discussion on Life as We Knew It by Susan Beth Pfeffer.
Plot Summary
Life As We Knew It explores what happens to an ordinary family in a normal American town when their world changes forever. An asteroid hits the moon, knocking it into a closer orbit. This causes all kinds of disasters that bring the world to a halt. Without shops, food, electricity, heat and water, Miranda and her family face problems together and struggle to survive.
The story begins with a brief introduction to Miranda's life. She is a normal sixteen-year-old girl who attends high school and thinks about friends and boys. The story is told in the form of her diary, allowing the reader to see her private thoughts and feelings. Everyone at her school is excited about the asteroid that will hit the moon, but when it happens it is not the exciting event they all thought it would be. Instead, the asteroid knocks the moon closer to the earth, causing tsunamis, storms and earthquakes all over the world. Miranda's mother begins to worry about the future, and takes Miranda and her younger brother Jonny out of school to help her shop for supplies. They each take a cart at the supermarket and keep going back for more until their car is full. They buy canned food, dry food, medicine, water and other supplies. Miranda thinks her mother is a little crazy for buying so much, but they will later come to be very thankful for it. Later, Miranda's older brother Matt comes home from college.
Soon shops close and food begins to run out. School is closed early for the summer because they have nothing left to feed the students. Jonny's baseball camp is still on, and he will be able to have fresh food by working at the nearby farm. When Jonny has gone, Miranda's mother introduces rationing. Miranda becomes jealous, irritable and frightened, and gets into a lot of arguments with her mother. She starts a brief relationship with a boy called Dan who swims at Miller's Pond with her, but this does not last long because Dan decides to leave the town. Miranda's friend Sammi also leaves, and her other friend Megan dies.
When Jonny comes back from camp, his father picks him up and visits them. He is heading to Colorado with his new wife Lisa, who is pregnant and wants to be near her parents. He helps them to chop wood for the winter and gives them some more food, then leaves. More problems begin to emerge, such as the huge grey ash cloud blocking out the sun, caused by volcanic eruptions. This means they cannot grow food, and things will soon get very cold. Miranda begins to realize that town is not safe anymore on her own, and has to give up high school because it is in town. She brings home textbooks for her and Jonny to home school. When the gas runs out they use the oil furnace to make sure the pipes do not freeze, and shut off the top floor of the house, moving the mattresses downstairs. Miranda's mother hurts her ankle and is forced to stay in the sunroom with the wood stove on. When it snows, they work to clear the snow from the sunroom roof so it doesn't collapse, and Matt gets the skis out so they can learn to cross-country ski in case they have to travel in the snow.
When the water runs out they turn off the oil furnace and all move into the sunroom. They are having to ration food a lot, but are managing to survive and are happy. They even manage to celebrate Christmas. However, in the new year the family gets sick with flu, and only Miranda is unaffected. She rushes to the hospital, but their mother's doctor friend, Peter, is dead. Miranda nurses her family back to health, and saves them when the wood stove backfires and fills the sunroom with smoke. They are recovering, but food is still running out. Eventually Miranda decides to sacrifice herself so that Jonny can have more food and so have a hope of surviving. She does not want her mother to have to watch her die, so she decides to walk into town and not come back. When she gets to town, she finds men giving out food in the town hall. She takes food home, and the men promise to bring more each week. The family is now through the worst of the crisis and is still alive. The world will never be the same again, but Miranda is just glad that they have each other.

How to simulate HTML5 Drag and Drop in Selenium Webdriver?
We can simulate HTML5 drag and drop with Selenium webdriver. This is a feature that gets implemented if an element is dragged from its position and dropped on another element in another position.
Actions class in Selenium is used for taking care of this functionality. The drag_and_drop(source, target) is the available method under Actions class for carrying out this task. We have to import from selenium.webdriver import ActionChains to our code to use this method of Actions class.
Let us take the two elements and try to drag the first element on to the second element.
Example
from selenium.webdriver import ActionChains
from selenium import webdriver
 driver = webdriver.Chrome (executable_path="C:\chromedriver.exe")
 driver.implicitly_wait(0.5)
 driver.get("_URL_
 driver.switch_to.frame(0)
 # identify source and destination elements
 s=driver.find_element_by_id("draggable")
 d=driver.find_element_by_id("droppable")
 # action object creation
 a = ActionChains(driver)
 a.drag_and_drop(s,d).perform()
driver.close()
Output

How do i keep a form on top of others
The Form class represents a window within an application. This includes dialog boxes, modeless windows, and Multiple Document Interface client and parent windows. In VB6 you can use a Win32API call to SetWindowPos to get a form to always stay on top. This has been simplified in VB.NET by setting Form's TopMost property as TRUE.
A topmost form is a form that overlaps all the other forms even if it is not the active or foreground form. You can use this property to create a form that is always displayed in your application, such as a MessageBox window.
Public Class Form1
 Dim frm As New Form2
 frm.TopMost = True
 End Sub

How do diffusion-based generative models work?
Thu, Nov 2023
Bard AI
Diffusion-based generative models (DBMs) are a type of generative model that can be used to learn the distribution of data. They work by iteratively applying a diffusion process to a latent representation of the data, starting from a random point and gradually moving towards the data. This process can be thought of as a kind of "smoothing" of the data, which helps to capture the underlying distribution.
DBMs are typically trained using a variational autoencoder (VAE) approach. This involves first learning a generative model for the data, and then using the generative model to learn the parameters of the DBM. The generative model is typically a deep neural network, and the parameters of the DBM are a set of weights that control the diffusion process.
Once the DBM has been trained, it can be used to generate new data by starting from a random point and applying the diffusion process. The generated data will be similar to the training data, but it will not be exactly the same. This is because the diffusion process introduces some noise into the data, which helps to prevent overfitting.
DBMs have been shown to be effective for a variety of tasks, including image generation, text generation, and speech generation. They are particularly well-suited for tasks where the data is high-dimensional and complex.
Here is a more detailed explanation of how DBMs work:
 1. A latent representation of the data is first learned using a VAE. This latent representation is a high-dimensional vector that captures the essential features of the data.
 2. The parameters of the DBM are then learned using the latent representation. This is done by iteratively applying the diffusion process to the latent representation, starting from a random point and gradually moving towards the data.
 3. Once the DBM has been trained, it can be used to generate new data by starting from a random point and applying the diffusion process. The generated data will be similar to the training data, but it will not be exactly the same. This is because the diffusion process introduces some noise into the data, which helps to prevent overfitting.
DBMs are a powerful tool for learning the distribution of data. They are particularly well-suited for tasks where the data is high-dimensional and complex.

Diffusion-based generative models are a type of generative model that uses the concept of diffusion processes to generate new data samples. The basic idea is to start with a simple distribution, such as a Gaussian, and then gradually transform it into a complex distribution that represents the data. The process begins by training a model on the data set. This model learns to predict the next state in a Markov chain, which starts from the data and ends at some simple noise distribution. The Markov chain is defined by a diffusion process, which is essentially a series of small random steps. Each step in the chain corresponds to adding a small amount of noise to the current state. Once this model is trained, it can be used in reverse to generate new samples. Starting from noise sampled from the simple distribution, we iteratively apply the reverse of the learned transition operator until we reach something that looks like our data. The key advantage of diffusion-based generative models is that they can capture complex dependencies in high-dimensional data distributions without requiring explicit density modeling or adversarial training. They have been successfully applied in various domains including image synthesis and molecular design. However, one downside is that generating new samples can be computationally expensive because it requires running many steps of the Markov chain. This makes them less suitable for applications where fast sampling is required. In summary, diffusion-based generative models work by learning how to gradually transform simple noise into complex data through a series of small random steps. This allows them to capture intricate patterns in high-dimensional datasets without needing explicit density modeling or adversarial training techniques.

The history of Lodgepole has been closely associated with railroad development and overland travel in western Nebraska. It was originally established as a station when the Union Pacific Railroad was completed to this point in 1867. A company of U.S. soldiers from nearby Sidney Barracks camped here to guard the railroad against Indian attack, and during the early 1860's a Pony Express Station was located a few miles to the east.
Lodgepole derives its name from Lodgepole Creek where Indians reportedly secured timber for their tipi poles. Little permanent settlement occurred until the early 1880's, and the town was platted in 1884. By 1886 it had a population of about 200 people. Stock raising was an important early industry, and many of the state's pioneer ranches were located in the region.
This depot was constructed by the Union Pacific Railroad in 1887 on a site adjacent to the tracks. It replaced an earlier section house and was in use until 1968. In 1971 a gift from Mrs. Doris Bates Rowan in memory of her parents, Mr. and Mrs. B. J. Bates, made possible its preservation at this location, where it now serves as the Lodgepole Depot Museum.

An examination of municipal efforts to manage brownfields redevelopment in Ontario, Canada
Keywords:Brownfield, Contamination, Municipal, Planning, Canada
Since the mid-1990s, the reuse of brownfield properties for urban intensification has emerged as a core strategy in government efforts to remediate pollution and support renewal, regeneration, and retrofitting. While upper levels of government in Canada engaged in early efforts to devise policies, programs, and funding strategies to support redevelopment, the job of overseeing it has fallen mainly to local governments. This paper investigates the role of municipalities
in Ontario, Canada's most populous and industrialized province, in managing and facilitating brownfields redevelopment. Survey data from 43 municipalities, coupled with information gathered from six site visitations and provincial information, reveal that despite common goals, tools, and approaches put forward by Ontario municipalities
in their Community Improvement Plans, the management of planning, funding, and redevelopment issues continues to be a challenge for many, resulting in some very proficient municipalities and numerous hopeful ones with limited capacity to address this demanding issue.

'In providing aid, our giving must provide strength and bring ease of mind to calm hearts. Don't be materially rich but poor at heart.'
Master Cheng Yen, Founder of Tzu Chi Foundation
Why consider CVA or any other form of cash aid?
In 2021, it is projected that 235 million people will require humanitarian assistance and protection1. 1 in every 33 people in the world population needs help, near 40% increase from 2020. The nature of the global humanitarian needs that usually derive from conflicts and complex crises has now been shifted to public health and health security. This is mostly due to the pandemic which killed approximately 2.3 million people worldwide and about 1000 people in Malaysia as of February 20212.
Through the ILMU Hasanah webinar held on 9 February 2021, Yayasan Hasanah has brought to the table of discussion on ways to provide effective and efficient aid delivery through Cash and Voucher Assistance (CVA). The webinar aimed to bring to the fore insights and challenges experienced during the common practice of aid delivery within Malaysia's humanitarian landscape. Attended by 82 people who were mostly the actors in the humanitarian field, the informative session was moderated by the Managing Director of Yayasan Hasanah, Shahira Ahmed Bazari. The speakers of the day are Tan Sri Dr Jemilah Mahmood, Special Advisor to Prime Minister on Public Health, Jeffrey Perera, Deputy Chairman of MyKasih and Sio Kee Hong, Deputy CEO of Tzu Chi Foundation.
Globally, CVA has accounted for 17.9% of international humanitarian assistance in 20193. Though the number has increased by 10% since 2015 with a total amount of $5.6b spent for CVA programming in 2019, the humanitarian needs remain a huge gap.
During disaster, giving cash and voucher assistance may be a challenge as businesses are also impacted by disaster and the community in need may not have the means to travel to buy their necessities.The panel, through examples of their work and urged us to consider cash aid for the following reasons:
- CVA is cost and time-efficient. Providing cash or voucher assistance can reduce the cost of delivering humanitarian aid. By providing cash, aid providers, NGOs, and CSOs can use their budget to go the extra mile as no additional logistics are required in cash and voucher programmes.
- CVA is transparent and traceable. With an appropriate transfer mechanism, such as bank cards, MyKad @ identification card and mobile transfer, organisations can reduce the risk of abuse of funds. As an example, the system used by Mykasih allows the organisation to trace items bought as it is barcode controlled and allows them to generate real-time consumptions for audits.
- CVA reduces wastage and addresses the need. Often than not, failure in conducting a proper needs assessment leads to aid organisations providing assistance not needed by the community. The assumption that aid givers 'know' what aid recepients need is misplaced and power laden to some extent. Though the debate on whether to provide conditional or unconditional cash and voucher assistance continues, CVA has proven to provide affected populations with choice and more power to control their lives.
During disaster, giving cash and voucher assistance may be a challenge as businesses are also impacted by disaster and the community in need may not have the means to travel to buy their necessities.
Issues, Risk and Challenges
The panel recognised some misconceptions regarding cash aid which posed challenges to its scaling up and being widely adopted. Some of the challenges are:
- Limited knowledge and capacity – Processes and system is critical in implementing cash aid programming. As the cash programming evolves, there is a demand for humanitarian agencies to build their skills and capacities in fulfilling the gaps concerning technology, social protection, accountability, communication and coordination.
- Quality programming – The concept of accountability to the community in need was introduced with the aim to protect their rights and ensure quality programming. Cash aid programming that was designed without taking into account effectiveness, efficiency and accountability measures may lead to waste of resources, unmet needs, fraud and corruption, which cause the humanitarian gaps to remain huge.
- Protection – In some societies, especially in the protracted crisis area, giving cash may trigger safety issues. Hence, humanitarian agencies need to ensure that a safe and secure transfer platform is prepared when implementing cash programmes.
- Multi-sector assessment– The availability and accessibility of data are crucial in understanding the community's needs. Without data and good analytical ability, practitioners often work in siloes, increasing the risk of duplication and redundancy.
- Donors' reaction to cash provision– Too often, the decisions to provide to the community are driven by organisations and funder's mandate. However, this risk can be reduced if both parties (the organisation and donors) understand the basic principles of humanitarian principles: humanity, neutrality, independence, and impartiality.
- Practicality – Sometimes, during the disaster, resources are scarce. Giving cash aid during the onset of disaster might not be practical when the businesses are also shut down and impacted by the disaster. In some remote area, limited retail outlets may also pose a challenge for the implementing agencies and community.
Some CVA approaches being practiced in Malaysia: The case of MyKasih, Tzu Chi Foundation and Yayaysan UEM
During the session, Jeffrey and Sio Kee Hong shared their organisation's approaches in implementing CVA. Leveraging on MyKad technologies' innovation, MyKasih's cash aid programming allows the people in need to choose items they need in the selected retail outlets. All recipients will have their MyKad activated and registered with the MyKasih system. This approach is not only transparent but also efficient and convenient for the community they help.
Practising a needs-based approach, Tzu Chi foundations offered four types of financial assistance: long-term, education expenses, natural disaster and emergency reliefs and institution. Making use of their large numbers of volunteers, they frequently conducted house visits, frequent discussions with community leaders and provided direct financial aid distribution to the people in need.
Aishah Nor from Yayasan UEM has also shared some insight on her view towards cash aid programming from donor perspectives. Though cash aid is not Yayasan UEM primary programme, there have been continuous discussions about considering cash aid as part of their aid programmes. They have also started providing cash aid in collaboration with Pusat Zakat.
Providing better solutions for a quality CVA programming
In summary, the following solutions were offered to the organisation to consider taking the plunge:
- To have a cash coalition in Malaysia. Coordination from various section is pretty much needed and essential to ensure quality CVA programming in Malaysia. The cash working groups or coalition should work as a platform to gathers experts and practitioners from the field to discuss, share learnings and develop new tools and methods that work for the Malaysian context.
- Setting up the standard for cash and voucher assistance in Malaysia. Cash transfers are among topics that are well-researched in the humanitarian sector with comprehensive resources are available online. Hence, it will be beneficial for us to use the resources to set suitable standards for Malaysia. Though admittedly not all learnings from other regions can be referred to, understanding the culture and the systems that might work in Malaysia may help in setting up the benchmark for CVA programming in Malaysia.
- Link the CVA with the social protection system. The prevalence of prolonged health crisis such as COVID 19 pandemic in Malaysia, which has occurred for more than one year, has pushed for more mid-to-long-term solutions rather than emergency response. Getting the government to involve and collaborate will reduce redundancies and ensure wider distribution. Thus, linking the social protection system with CVA could help address the poverty and economic strain among Malaysians and increase resiliency among the community, with accurate data and coordination.
- Build a narrative of collective impact. All sectors need to work in contributing to shared knowledge, sharing measured success and failures collectively. External evaluation reports on cash and voucher assistance programme in Malaysia is still at scarce or almost none. Hence, an in-depth study in Malaysia is much needed, as it provides an overview of the cash aid situation in Malaysia.
- Develop the capacity of an organisation to understand CVA. Through proper collaboration and understanding of cash and voucher assistance, we can help increase Malaysia's aid provider's capacity. It is vital to make them understand the need to shift from giving in-kind donation to cash.
- Dignity is crucial to all giving. Having a universal unique identity is an example in which dignity can be ensured to nameless undocumented aid receipeints be it refugees, stateless etc.. When we glance at the refugee and stateless crisis that occurs, habitually, they will lose their identity along the way or often need to get a new identity (UNHCR card). As for Malaysians, cash aid programming can be easily done using MyKad and other digital platforms. However, when considering cash aid programming for vulnerable groups such as refugees and stateless, humanitarian agencies might need to make use of the available digital platform or invest in new technology to accommodate the vulnerable people's need.
Restore Dignity, Give with Gratitude, Respect and Love
In conclusion, while we claim to be providing the best services to the people in need, we often forget that the people in need should be given the power to make decisions for themselves. In responding to the call for more cash aid programming, we should also not forget to restore the people's dignity and give with gratitude, respect, and love.
