Spartan lifestyle and values
Sparta was an ancient city in Greece from the 750 to around 3rd Century BCE. Spartan lifestyles and values have been glorified all around the world. Located in the ancient grounds of Laconia in Greece, Spartan people built an empire. There are many claims that life in the ancient city wasn't as good as we think it was. The constitution of Sparta believed in slaves and killing them in order to avoid uprisings. An average man spent their whole life training to be a warrior. Even at that time, the Spartan mentality was very different from the rest of the world. An antique idol of Sparta Warrior
However, there are many principles which made the civilization successful for centuries. The Spartan men and women lived a lifestyle that kept them safe from the world outside. Currently, some people want to be away from the technological world that has made us materialistic. Spartan lifestyle and mentality will instill values different from the modern world.
There are many things that we can learn from these warrior men which can keep us content. You might not be able to follow all their principles as it would be absurd in the modern world to even think of some, but you can adopt the good ones.
The 12 things you must do in order to live your life like a spartan soldier are given below:
1. Minimalism in Spartan Lifestyle:
Spartan lifestyle and values
To this date, you will find thousands of people trying to adopt a minimalistic lifestyle. People have become so spoilt with all the possession that it is almost impossible to survive without them. So, adopting this spartan mentality might be helpful in case you are one of them.
From a very young age, Spartan soldiers were taught to be happy with very little in life. Some might even consider it ruthless keeping a child from their basic needs. But as a Spartan soldier, this was the way of life. Today, people need thousands of things just to go by a single day. This was completely opposite as per the Spartan values. The only piece of clothing that the children could get was a robe.
2. Spartan Diet:
Today, you can order something online that will reach your doorsteps in a few minutes. However, in ancient Sparta, you had to basically earn everything that you ate. From the training period, men were trained to feed themselves. They used to eat whatever they could steal or earn. They had to work hard to be able to feed themselves.
Whatever they ate was healthier compared to the greasy food items that we find today. You have to feed your body protein and veggies that are essential to help you build muscles. However, you didn't feed yourself excessively because that would make you fat and slow.
3. Physique:
Spartan Mentality
The ancient Spartan soldiers had ripped bodies from all the training that they had to undergo. So, if your goal is to develop a Spartan lifestyle and value, you'd better start working on your physical training. The Spartans soldiers used to have lean muscles that enabled them to fight with others, physically and mentally.
4. Spartan Psyche and Mentality:
An average Spartan man had to train himself mentally as well as physically. Only being strong didn't help them all the time. The Spartan soldier lived a lifestyle that required constant fight for survival and had to value whatever they would earn. They would have to steal from people without being caught, otherwise, they would be punished. Such activities made them instinctive.
5. The goal or purpose of Spartan Education:
In modern society, the primary thing for the people mostly become feeding themselves and gather as much wealth as possible. But the Spartan lifestyle and values teach you to follow a goal completely different. If you want to live like a Spartan soldier, you must dedicate your life to serve a particular place or person. Having personal materialistic goals isn't the purpose of a Spartan soldier.
6. Waking Up:
Spartan Mentality
If you are someone who wakes up after 5 snoozes of your alarm, then we have something bad for y0u. Waking up early was one of the very essential lifestyles and values in the Spartan mentality. You will need to start using your time much more efficiently and most importantly, you must wake up early.
7. Training:
Spartan Mentality
Whether you want to grow up to become an army, fighter, engineer or even a doctor, you must follow some Spartans rules and regulations. in order to lead a spartan lifestyle, you will have to train yourself much harder.
The training period in the Spartan lifestyle goes until you die. So, you need to give yourself time to learn and grow. Whatever career you pursue, you need to be able to give it all you have got. Giving up will never be an option.
8. Working in a Team:
Spartan lifestyle and values
As a Spartan, you had to fight in a team. The Spartans army used to form a wall by sticking onto each other during the war that hardly let anyone else pass through. If someone gets injured during the war, the other Spartan soldier used to come and take their place, and they would continue to move forward. So, if you want to work like a Spartan, you will have to learn to work in a team as well.
9. Intellect in Spartan Lifestyle and Value:
Spartan lifestyle and values
As we mentioned above, being strong wasn't enough for the Spartan soldiers. Also, they needed to think smartly. So, sharpening your intellect is extremely important if you want to develop a spartan mentality.

10. Practise Abstinence:
Spartans never involved themselves in any activity that would not result in either making them stronger or smarter. So, they believed all the other activities such as sex and drinking would lead them to get distracted from their values and training. Therefore, if you align your lifestyle by the values the Spartan society, you might have to restrain yourself from such things.
11. Fight Your Way Out:
Spartan lifestyle and values
The Spartan mentality was to do anything they had to for survival. So, you need to be ready to fight through all the tough moments in life. If you didn't, you get killed. If you also want to live that way, you will have to learn to fight with toff situations in life.
12. Discipline in Spartan Lifestyle:
Finally, this has to be one of the most important values you need to live by in a Spartan lifestyle. From the young age of seven, the kids were taught to take care of themselves. They were all taught to fulfill their purpose of becoming ready for the battle.
At present, even if this might not be your goal, whatever goal you have in mind, you need to establish a strong discipline in yourself. Every principle mentioned above will not be possible without considering the disciplined lifestyle that the Spartan's value.

Location of Mona
Some 47 miles southwest from Mayagüez and 37 miles southeast of Punta Espada, Dominican Republic floats rugged Mona Island, situated in the center of the Mona Passage. Although located closer to the Dominican Republic, Mona's history has been attached to Puerto Rico. It was discovered by Columbus in 1493, and in 1508 Ponce de León stopped in there. In 1511 the island was ceded to Columbus's younger brother Bartolomé by Columbus's son Diego.
Evidence of a long history can be found on this small island. Remains from the Taino village visited by both Columbus and Ponce de León are still to be found, among these remains you will find what appear to be Taino inscriptions, petroglyphs, pictographs, skeletons, bottles, and other relics. The ruins of historic cabins, stone walls, graves, and old trails, also are to be found.
Land Area: 10.9 sq km (6.7 sq mi)
Coordinates: Latitude: 18.10° N Longitude: 67.90° W
The island is about 7 miles long and 4 miles wide, with an approximate area of 13,638 acres (twice as large as Culebra); its shape roughly that of a lima bean with the concavity toward the north. Its climate is classified as semi-arid, sub-tropical climate, with temperatures fluctuating 80 to 90 all year long. The island has 200-foot cliffs riddled with caves. The highest peak is about 300 feet above sea level. There is little vegetation, although there has been some reforestation. The island has no permanent inhabitants, except by the Puerto Rico Department of Natural Resources (DNR) personnel (resident biologist and rangers).
Mona is often compared to Galápagos, the island teems with giant iguanas, among them the Mona Iguana (certified as threatened by the Endangered Species Act of 1973) and the Geco Oriundo, three species of endangered sea turtles (the Hawksbill and the Leatherback sea turtle), red-footed boobies and countless other sea birds. The waters surrounding the island is home of over 270 species of fish and endangered sea turtles. Some species are so rare or endangered elsewhere on Puerto Rico that these islands can be considered their last significant refuge. During the winter humpback whales, usually several at a time with their young, are regular visitors.
The Mona Iguana found nowhere else in the world, is considered the most spectacular single form of life on the island. It attains four feet in length but is harmless. Their nests, consisting of a tunnel burrowed into the soil, are commonly on the coastal plain. Their food is vegetable matter.
Unspoiled Mona also offers mangrove forest, coral reefs, 200-foot high cliffs and the world's largest marine-originated cave system. The beaches, some 5 miles in total length, are whiter than those of Puerto Rico.
Mona has a lighthouse, built 1900 was one of the first two lighthouses built by the U.S Government in Puerto Rico.
The island is managed by the Department of National Resources since 1975. Camping is allowed at Sardinera Beach. For information call: _PHONE_. Other activities such as: hiking, bird watching, snorkeling or scuba are allowed and coordinated by the resident biologist. Visitors are welcome, but no more than a hundred visitors can be on the island at any time.

The default hanging indent value (i.e., how far in the text begins) isn't wide enough for the 3-digit numbers. (Default seems to be for the number itself to be indented 0.25", and the following text indented 0.5", which leaves only 0.25" for the number.) When it's not wide enough, then, Word has to move the hanging text over to the next tab stop.
You can fix this as follows: select the entire numbered list, right-click and select Adjust List Indents, and then set Number position and Text indent to whatever you want.

I have got the steps for fixing the Numbering Issue of Microsoft Word 2007. Just follow the steps so that your text and numbers will be aligned correctly :
From the numbered list, select all of the items. Then click the drop-down arrow at the right of the Numbering tool in the Paragraph group, on the Home tab of the ruler. You will find that Word displays a palette of options. Click the Define New Number Format option. Word displays the Define New Number Format dialog box, and all the options in the dialog box should match whatever was set in the numbered list you selected in step 1. Choose the Right, using the Alignment drop-down list. Finally click on OK.

Sure, but what if he does want the numbers to be left-aligned, just that the following text should always be indented the same distance from the page margin? – Alex Feb 12 '10 at 17:51

In association football, an assist is a contribution by a player which helps to score a goal. Statistics for assists made by players may be kept officially by the organisers of a competition, or unofficially by, for example, journalists or organisers of fantasy football competitions. Recording assists is not part of the official Laws of the Game and the criteria for an assist to be awarded may vary.
Most commonly, an assist is credited to a player for passing or crossing the ball to the scorer. It may also be awarded to a player whose shot rebounds (off a defender, goalkeeper or goalpost) to a teammate who scores; or to a player who wins a penalty kick for another player to convert. An attacking player may be awarded an assist for contributing to an own goal.1 Players cannot be awarded an assist for a goal they themselves score. Usually one but a maximum of two players can be awarded assists per goal.
Record of assists was virtually not kept at all until the end of the 20th century. The North American Soccer League kept assist statistics from its foundation in 1968, as its forebears the United Soccer Association and National Professional Soccer League had done the previous year.2 Analogous statistics were already being kept in basketball and in ice hockey, both established North American sports.
- An assist was awarded to the player who had given the last pass to the goalscorer.
- In addition, also the last but two holder of the ball could get an assist provided that his action had decisive importance for the goal.
- After goals from rebounds those players were awarded an assist who had shot on target.
- After goals scored on penalty or by a directly converted free-kick the fouled player received a point.
- In case that the goalscorer had laid on the goal for himself (dribble, solo run), no assists were awarded.
- No assists were awarded, either, if the goalscorer took advantage of a missed pass by an opponent.
- Where goals resulting from penalties are concerned, the player who is fouled in the area receives an assist point (unless, that is, the player who is fouled subsequently executes the penalty himself).
FIFA started officially keeping track of assists in World Cup tournaments at the 1994 edition.7 This was popularly ascribed to the popularity of detailed sports statistics among American fans.7 1994 was also the first World Cup in which assists were used as a tie-breaker in determining the Golden Shoe award for top scorer.78 In the event, both Hristo Stoichkov and Oleg Salenko finished with 19 points, from 6 goals and 1 assist.8 FIFA's Technical Study Group is responsible for awarding assist points.9
It is official practice for certain leagues to keep record of assists. The United States' Major League Soccer, for instance, formerly awarded the MLS Golden Boot based on 2 points per goal scored and one per assist. The all-time leader in assists in Major League Soccer is midfielder Steve Ralston, with 135 assists as of August 2011.10 The French league, Ligue 1, awards the Trophée de Meilleur Passeur ("best passer trophy") to the leader in assists following every season, the 2007–08 recipient being Jérôme Leroy.11
The NCAA makes regulations for statistics, including assists, in college soccer in the U.S.12 Two players may be credited with assists if the second did not have to beat a defender before passing to the scorer.13 No assist is awarded for winning a penalty.14 If a goal is scored after a save, block, or rebound from the goal frame, the first shooter gets an assist.15
In Britain, all game statistics, including assists, for the Premier League, the Scottish Premier League and the Football League are provided by PA Sport under the Actim brand.16 Since the 2006–07 season, assists have been factored into the Actim Index of Premier League player performance.17

ARTICLE: Impact is an ideologically and strategically driven aim for entrepreunial journalists
Picture: DKD_8062 by Deven Dadbhawala, license CC BY-NC-ND 2.0
Studying entrepreunial journalists, constructive journalism and the concept of impact shows the complexity of conceptualising journalism. Andrea Wagemans, Tamara Witschge and Frank Harbers, all of the University of Groningen, analysed data from interviews with 129 entrepreneurial journalists on four continents. The interviews were conducted in 2014–2017.
The researchers wanted to find out how entrepreneurial journalists position themselves in relation to other journalists and society by exploring their understanding of journalism's impact in society.
Based on the interviews, entrepreunial journalists see it as their mission to seek innovation, both technological and ideological. A recurrent theme in the interviews was the wish to create useful and impactful journalism for their audiences and the society.
Impact was defined in varying ways, including individual, community, and societal levels.
The entrepreneurs navigate between traditional and alternative journalistic values seemingly effortlessly, challening some binary distinctions found in earlier research. Their practices are not only ideologically driven, but are also influenced by strategic considerations, the authors state. This involves targeting specific audiences.
The researchers end with the observation that notions such as constructive journalism are not neutral or unambigous. The concepts people refer to are informative about how they look at the world around them. This also means that the definitions of journalism given by the entrepreneurs do not provide definite answers to the debate on what journalism is or what it should be.

Shimazdu Presents the HPV-X2, a 10 Million fps Video Camera
Shimazdu has launched the Hyper Vision HPV-X2, an ultra high speed camera that can record 10 million frames per second. It features an FTCMOS burst image sensor, which makes it 6 times more photosensitive that its predecessors. The outstanding sensitivity and speed allow observation of varied biological and industrial processes invisible to the human eye.
The Hyper Vision HPV-X2 has an improved light sensitivity and signal-to-noise ratio. It can ve synchronized with other cameras to view a sample from different viewpoints. Shimazdu has developed an accompanying software for camera control and data analysis, but other imaging and analytical softwares are compatible too.
How does the Burst Method allow recording 10 million fps?
Conventional camera: memories are located outside of the sensor.
02In normal cameras, images are stored in memories located outside of the image sensor. This means that the image signals must be transferred to the memory. The problem comes when the number of pixels to transfer is enormous compared to the number of signal output taps, given that the process has to be sequential. In practice, this hinders ultra high-speed recording. Shimazdu solved the problem developing an image sensor with built-in memories, as many as frames to be recorded per second. Memories and pixels are connected one-to-one for parallel transfer of information.
The new Burst Image Sensor is based in CMOS technology. Instead of locating memories contiguous to the pixels, which is typical of CCD sensors, CMOS sensors spatially separate pixels and memories, avoiding signal leakage from the pixels to the memories.
The Hyper Vision HPV-X2 video camera has applications in the aerospace, automotive and semiconductor fields, and also in the manufacture of industrial equipment, advanced medical equipment and consumer electronics.

QCF Level 3 Diploma in Health and Social Care
Emma- Louise O'Shea
Values in Care
Unit 331 Support the use of Medication in Social Care Settings.
Identify legislation that governs the use of medication in social care settings.
Also; Unit 616 1.1 Identify current legislation, guidelines, policies and protocols relevant to the administration of medication.
There are a few pieces of legislation that governs administering medication to people:
- The Medicines Act (1968) requires that the local pharmacist or dispensing doctor is responsible for supplying medication and that they can only do so on receipt of a prescription from a doctor
- The Misuse of Drugs Act (1971) controls dangerous or otherwise harmful drugs, designated as Controlled Drugs (CDs). The main purpose of this act is to prevent the misuse of Controlled Drugs.
- The Misuse of Drugs and the Misuse of Drugs (Safe Custody)(Amendment) Regulations 2007 specifies about handling, record keeping and storage of controlled drugs safely and correctly
- The Safer Management of Controlled Drugs Regulations (2006) specifies how controlled drugs are stored, administered and disposed of. Controlled drugs must be kept in a controlled drug cabinet that complies with these regulations. Records must be made for all controlled drug transactions
- The Health and Safety at Work Act (1974) underpins regulations intended to reduce the risk posed by hazardous substances
- The Control of Substances Hazardous to Health (COSHH) Regulations (1999) requires employers to take all reasonable measures to protect their employees from potentially dangerous substances or materials that they may come into contact with while at work
- The Hazardous Waste Regulations (2005) defines household and industrial waste and includes medications that are no longer required. Basically, care homes with nursing must use a clinical waste company to dispose of their unwanted medicines....


FixedColumns 2.0.3
DataTables CDN files for FixedColumns 2.0.3. This software was originally released on 15th April, 2012.
Release notes
Bug fix release for FixedColumns, nothing too exiting, unless you had hit one of the bugs noted in the release notes below!
 - Fix: Change to how the column widths are matched - apply the width from the DataTable calculation equally to both the header and body. Overcomes cross browser issues with width and outerWidth
 - Fix: Column width matching should use outerWidth
 - Fix: the column width could be applied incorrectly when using multiple fixed columns - the problem was that although the clone had a thead element in it, there were no cells in it - hence the browser was getting confused that the body had two columns while the header had none and it would pick to spread the column widths equally. The fix is to put the header cells in, just like how DataTables does it
 - Fix: When the header (or footer) has multiple rows in it, or col/rowspan, the class copy could copy to the wrong cell - 2815 - the fix is to use the DataTables detect header function and get a layout array with 1:1 mapping between the fixed column and the real DataTable and the copy the classes across.
 - Example - fix: Column indexes were updating the visible column in the table, where as we only want to update the first column data index (i.e. the hidden column that is it he fixed column) - 8499

Why is it Worth your While to know how to Record your Mac Screen?
Record your Mac Screen: Apple's Macs stand tall in front of all of their rivals in the industry, thanks to their powerful combination of hardware and software. The integration between both aspects is seamless, which is one of the primary reasons millions of individuals prefer Macs compared to other devices. macOS, the operating system that exclusively powers Macs, leaves no stone unturned when providing its users the best features and functionalities.
Record your Mac Screen:
With every new update, the features and functionalities of the operating system get better and thus facilitate users to have a smooth and flawless user experience. According to Apple, the new macOS Ventura update will bring significant changes to numerous native utilities such as Safari, Mail, Spotlight, etc.
Speaking of native utilities, one of the most useful features that macOS offers users is the ability to record their screen and save it. Screen recording is a great feature that facilitates users to record their computer screen's content and save or share it with others. Record your Mac Screen: Besides offering a utility for screen recording, macOS also supports numerous advanced screen recording tools that provide users the feature to record their screen, edit the recorded data, and share it over numerous platforms. This article will focus on the methods following which macOS users can record their device's screen and list down the reasons why screen recording is such a great tool. So, let us dive right into it:
How to Record Your Mac Screen:
If you are a macOS user and wish to record your Mac's screen along with the audio, there are two major ways following which you can do so. You can either perform Mac screen recording using the native QuickTime Player of macOS or opt for a third-party macOS-compatible screen recording application. Here is a detailed look at both the methods:

 - Using QuickTime Player

QuickTime Player is the native screen capture utility of macOS, and it performs exceptionally well when recording the screen's content and audio. Users can record their Mac's screen using the app in two ways, i.e., either by using the default keyboard shortcut or by enabling the functionality manually. If you want to opt for the later one, you can conveniently do so by opening the app, navigating to the File Menu, clicking on the "New Screen Recording" option, and choosing the layout of the screen after enabling the audio recording option present in the "Options" menu.

 - Using Third-Party Applications

On the Mac's App Store, there are numerous screen recording applications that feature top-tier features, and tools are readily available. Even though most of them are paid applications, their advanced capabilities make them worthwhile for the user. Here are some of the most popular third-party screen recording tools available for macOS:

Capto – Capto is another great third-party utility that facilitates users to record their Mac screen's content without hassle. The best part about the app is that it offers in-built editing tools that users can use to amplify the appearance of their Mac screen's recording. Moreover, it also offers the option to record video using the webcam along with the audio.
Why Should Every User Know How to Record Their Mac's Screen?
Millions of people all around the globe use Macs as their daily drivers for performing numerous tasks seamlessly, such as working, consuming content, programming, etc. Screen recording is a great functionality that facilitates further enhancing their productivity. Besides this, there are numerous reasons why screen recording is a great feature. Here are some of the most prominent ones:

 - Screen recording helps users to record and share information with others. It is a great tool for receiving and implementing feedback. For instance, if you are in charge of a team of employees and wish to demonstrate how to fix an error, you can record your Mac's screen and present a step-by-step procedure following which they can resolve the issue without hassle.

 - Screen Recording facilitates users to save vital information on their Macs. For instance, if there is a good video on the Internet, but there is no option to download it, you can save it by playing it and recording your Mac's screen. Similarly, you can also save podcasts, clips, or any other multimedia content you like.

 - You can create numerous varieties of content using the screen recording functionality on your Mac. For example, if you wish to create DIY series on a topic or want to create your programming tutorial, you can record your Mac's screen and get the job done easily.

Record your Mac Screen: Screen recording is an exceptional tool that opens many opportunities for users. If you wish to record your Mac's screen easily, follow the steps mentioned above.


Legislative Council Set to Review 2014 Ballot Analyses
By Julie Pelegrin and Cathy Eslinger
LegiSource acknowledges and thanks the Legislative Council Staff for their significant input on this article.
The Legislative Council Committee will meet Wednesday, Sept. 3, to review analyses of the four measures that the secretary of state has certified to the 2014 general election ballot. Two of the measures would amend the constitution: Amendment 67 would define "person" and "child" for purposes of the Colorado criminal code and wrongful death statutes; and Amendment 68 would allow casino gambling at horse race tracks. The other two measures would amend the Colorado Revised Statutes: Proposition 104 would specify that local school board meetings concerning collective bargaining negotiations or employment negotiations must be open to the public; and Proposition 105 would require the labeling of genetically modified food, beginning July 1, 2016.
As required by the state constitution and by statute the Legislative Council Staff (LCS) has been working for weeks to prepare the analyses to help the public understand the purpose and effect of each measure. Following the Legislative Council's review, the LCS will mail the analyses, printed in the familiar "blue book," to each registered-voter household in the state. bluebook Also, the LCS maintains a blue book website – _URL_ – that includes drafts of the analyses and the text of each measure.
The LCS prepares a blue book before each general election for which initiated or referred constitutional or statutory amendments or questions are certified to the ballot. The analysis of each measure includes a summary of the measure, the major arguments for and against the measure, and a brief fiscal assessment of the measure. The analysis may also include other information that can help voters understand the measure's purpose and effect.
Each analysis typically goes through three drafts. But, depending on the complexity of the measure and the time available, some may require only two drafts. The LCS meets with proponents and opponents of the measure and writes the first draft using the information provided by them as well as information obtained through the LCS's own research. The goal is to write an analysis that is concise, readable for a layperson, and factually correct.
The LCS posts the draft analyses on the blue book website, and any person may file written comments for staff to consider in preparing the second or third draft. The staff considers all comments and proposed amendments submitted by the established deadlines, but use discretion in changing the analysis. Some of the criteria for making proposed changes to the analysis include:
- Avoiding slogan-type language that triggers a response but does not contribute to greater understanding of the measure;
- Ensuring that statements are verifiable statements of fact rather than mere opinion, directly applicable to the measure, and not misleading;
- Ensuring that the language specifically strengthens or clarifies the arguments and is not repetitive;
- Maintaining the balance of the analysis between the opposing sides; and
- Avoiding language that is more appropriate for the campaigns conducted by the opposing sides.
As part of the analysis, the LCS also prepares a fiscal impact statement for each measure, taking into consideration fiscal impact information submitted by various state and local agencies, proponents and opponents, and other interested persons. The blue book will include a summary of each measure's fiscal assessment. The full fiscal impact statement for each measure will be available on the blue book website. At a minimum, the summary must include:
- An estimate of the measure's effect on state and local government revenues, expenditures, taxes, and fiscal liabilities;
- An estimate of the amount of any state and local government recurring expenditures or fiscal liabilities; and
- For a measure that modifies the state tax laws, an estimate of the impact to the average taxpayer, if feasible.
The LCS submits the final draft of each analysis to the Legislative Council Committee, which holds a public hearing to review the analyses. Anyone who is interested in testifying on the accuracy or fairness of an analysis may do so at this public hearing. The Legislative Council may change the language of an analysis upon a two-thirds affirmative vote of the council members. Before the public hearing, the LCS will post on the blue book website information for each analysis that includes the final draft, any amendments submitted to the final draft, a list of persons who had opportunity to comment on the last draft, and the text of the measure.
Following the public hearing, the LCS will mail copies of the blue book to each registered-voter household in the state. This year, the scheduled mailing date is Oct. 3.

6.4 Forecasting by analogy
A useful judgmental approach which is often implemented in practice is forecasting by analogy. A common example is the pricing of a house through an appraisal process. An appraiser estimates the market value of a house by comparing it to similar properties that have sold in the area. The degree of similarity depends on the attributes considered. With house appraisals, attributes such as land size, dwelling size, numbers of bedrooms and bathrooms, and garage space are usually considered.
Even thinking and discussing analogous products or situations can generate useful (and sometimes crucial) information. We illustrate this point with the following example.8
Example: Designing a high school curriculum
A small group of academics and teachers were assigned the task of developing a curriculum for teaching judgement and decision making under uncertainty for high schools in Israel. Each group member was asked to forecast how long it would take for the curriculum to be completed. Responses ranged between 18 and 30 months. One of the group members who was an expert in curriculum design was asked to consider analogous curricula developments around the world. He concluded that 40% of analogous groups he considered never completed the task. The rest took between 7 to 10 years. The Israel project was completed in 8 years.
Obviously, forecasting by analogy comes with challenges. We should aspire to base forecasts on multiple analogies rather than a single analogy, which may create biases. However, these may be challenging to identify. Similarly, we should aspire to consider multiple attributes. Identifying or even comparing these may not always be straightforward. As always, we suggest performing these comparisons and the forecasting process using a systematic approach. Developing a detailed scoring mechanism to rank attributes and record the process of ranking will always be useful.
A structured analogy
Alternatively, a structured approach comprising a panel of experts can be implemented, as was proposed by Green & Armstrong (2007). The concept is similar to that of a Delphi; however, the forecasting task is completed by considering analogies. First, a facilitator is appointed. Then the structured approach involves the following steps.
- A panel of experts who are likely to have experience with analogous situations is assembled.
- Tasks/challenges are set and distributed to the experts.
- Experts identify and describe as many analogies as they can, and generate forecasts based on each analogy.
- Experts list similarities and differences of each analogy to the target situation, then rate the similarity of each analogy to the target situation on a scale.
- Forecasts are derived by the facilitator using a set rule. This can be a weighted average, where the weights can be guided by the ranking scores of each analogy by the experts.
As with the Delphi approach, anonymity of the experts may be an advantage in not suppressing creativity, but could hinder collaboration. Green and Armstrong found no gain in collaboration between the experts in their results. A key finding was that experts with multiple analogies (more than two), and who had direct experience with the analogies, generated the most accurate forecasts.

Employment equity laws ensure workplace fairness
Explore This Story
At long last a measure of employment equity is coming to the Peel District School Board (PDSB) with its recently announced "Journey Ahead Action Plan." This plan, which the PDSB states will "transform" its work sets out findings, timelines and tasks for "Equitable Hiring and Promotion" flows from a settlement of a human rights complaint by a teacher, Ranjit Khatkur who had alleged before the Hearings Tribunal of Ontario that the PDSB's hiring and promotion practices were resulting in the systemic exclusion of applicants of racially and culturally diverse backgrounds. The 15-page Action Plan includes such measures as conducting a demographic survey of the school board workforce, removing artificial barriers to hiring, and training principals on how to conduct bias-free job interviews.
Sadly, PDSB is not the only workplace that is plagued with discrimination. Most employers, like the PDSB, don't voluntarily change their practices. It often takes legal proceeding to compel them into action.
Just think where Khatkur and other worthy job applicants might be at this point had Ontario not repealed its 1993 Employment Equity Act.
Employment equity laws and policies focus on redressing inequalities by requiring employers to plan to end discriminatory practices facing women, racialized and aboriginal peoples, people living with disabilities and others who are similarly disadvantaged.
Supreme Court of Canada Justice Rosalie Abella's 1984 royal commission report documented how these disadvantaged groups populate the bottom rungs of the labour market — facing systemic discriminatory barriers in getting and keeping good jobs and earning fair pay. Justice Abella found that "systemic discrimination," while often not intentional, was embedded in the labour market and employers' systems of hiring, promotion, conditions of work and pay. She called for employment equity laws and policies since insufficient progress was being made with voluntary measures or under a complaint-based human rights laws.
The 2004 Federal Pay Equity Task Force Report relying on Statistics Canada data again documented the pay disparities faced by these groups and called for strengthened pay equity laws to address them. The federal government rejected this report. While some progress has been made since 1986, a recently released Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives report, "A Living Wage as a Human Right," documents how discrimination continues to affect the ability of many workers to earn a living wage. This persistent state of inequality continues while the income of the average CEO has grown to 189 times the income of the average Canadian.
Despite this evidence of widespread inequalities, Conservative governments have strongly opposed employment equity laws. In 1995, the Ontario Conservative government repealed Ontario's then Employment Equity Act, 1993 based on false allegations that the law created reverse discrimination and arbitrary quotas. Nothing could have been further from the truth — the law just required employers to make sure that all qualified candidates were considered on an equal footing.
The Federal Employment Equity Act and Federal Contractors Program were established in 1986 as a way for Canada to move forward to meet its international and domestic human rights obligations. Under the act and the program, there is a mandatory obligation for employers to first identify the barriers in their workplaces which are faced by these disadvantaged groups and then, working with a union if any to take steps to plan for the elimination of those barriers and enact positive measures, goals and targets which will lead to a more representative and inclusive workforce.
Yet last June, without notice or public consultation, Canadians woke up to discover that one of their important protections, the mandatory obligations of federal contractors to plan and work toward discrimination-free workplaces had been eliminated by a legislative amendment buried deep in the Federal omnibus budget bill.
Until June 2012, federal contractors had to commit to comply with the Employment Equity Act in order to obtain government contracts. More than 1,000 employers are currently covered by the program, involving 1.2 million employees. Now, the law leaves it to the minster's discretion to decide what rules federal contractors should follow.
Why is it important for rules to be mandatory? Because history has shown that employers need government rules to ensure that they act fairly. Employers are very familiar with developing plans which identify a problem and set targets and timetables for resolving that problem or developing a new product. Employment equity laws just require businesses to use that same model for maintaining discrimination-free workplace.
Effective human rights enforcement is one of the best investments a country can make. With disadvantaged groups struggling in this volatile economy and Canada needing to take advantage of the skills and qualifications of all its workers, this is not the time to scrimp on human rights enforcement. A labour market that allows vulnerable workers to be channelled into low-paid, undervalued work when the economy needs their skills will not be able to compete successfully in the global economy.
Planning to achieve and maintain employment equity will attract and retain the most talented workers, increase productivity, stimulate the economy and increase competitiveness while giving everyone equal opportunities to work. We need to strengthen the Federal Employment Equity Act and we hope the new premier-designate will bring similar legislation back to Ontario.

Exercise chair, England, _PHONE_
Made from mahogany and leather and measuring just over 2 m high, this exercise chair was said to offer the equivalent of riding a horse. Known in the 1800s as a chamber horse, the user sat on the seat and bounced up and down on the concertina springs as if trotting on a horse. Horse riding was considered a form of healthy exercise. Judging by the materials and its size, the chair was probably owned by someone who was wealthy.

of the bow see diagram.
Repeat this on the other side of the same end of the bow, and then join them. (See below) Repeat this at the other end of the bow. You could also put horn nocks on the ends, you can purchase these or you can make by hand.
Now that you have created the bow and put nocks on it, you need to teach the wood to bend. This is very important, because if you don't teach the wood to bend the first time you draw the bow it will snap (LOUDLY).
To teach the wood to bend, you will need to put a string on your bow that is NOT under tension. (See below) and use a tiller see instructions below to make one.
The way a tiller works, is the bow is placed into the space at the top so that it is horizontal with the back, of the uppermost part of the bow. Then pull the bow string slowly down to the first notch. While the string is in this position, examine the bow checking that it is not pulling to one side and that the overall curve is smooth with no straight areas. Mark these stiff areas with a bit of charcoal, gently release the string to its natural position remove the bow fr-om the tiller unstring it and trim the areas marked with charcoal.
Restring the bow put it back onto the tiller and take it to the first notch again. Repeat this as many times a necessary until no stiff areas remain on the bow and the bow curves smoothly. Once you are satisfied take the string to the next notch and perform the same checks/actions.
It is a good idea to let the wood rest for about 15-20 minutes between visits to the tiller so that the sinews within the wood do not start to break.
Once you have reached the fourth notch on the tiller, you can add a little bit of tension to the string. Repeat the slow progression through the notches of the tiller, checking for and trimming any stiff areas until you once again reach the fourth notch. It is very important that these stages are not rushed, or the wood will strain too quickly, the sinews will start to snap and your bow will not reach its full potential or will simply break in half.
Again add a little more tension to the string repeat the checking until you reach the fourth notch. At this point you can put the string under full tension (see below) and work down the tiller. Once you have reached the draw you required for your bow you can put a couple coats of boiled linseed oil on it to protect it fr-om the weather.
Tensioning the Bow
To have a string that is not under tension, simply extend the string so that it is firmly attached in the nocks at both ends of the bow, but the wood itself does not bend.
Tension can be increased by slightly shortening the string, so that the bow bends a little when strung. It is best to shorten the string an inch at a time to increase the tension slowly.
When the bow is at full tension, the distance between the middle of the bow (i.e. where you hold it) and the bowstring, should be the same as your clenched fist with the thumb stuck out.
When buying bow strings, it is important to remember that three main types are available. These are no loops, one loop and two loops. Personally I have found that one loop strings are best because it is possible for the archer to set the length of the string to be perfect length for their own use. To tie the second loop (for the bottom of the bow) you will need to use a bowers knot (see below). But I prefer to make my own strings.
Testing the Poundage
To test the poundage of a bow, attach a fishing scale to the string while the bow is on the tiller and slowly add weights to it until the string reaches the draw that you require. This will give you the X pounds draw at Y inches required when checking your bow for competition or combat.
If the finished bow is a higher poundage than your require (i.e. you want to use it in combat and it's too strong), then evenly trim the bow and go back through the routine of checking it on the tiller. On the tiller you will need to draw the bow an inch further than your draw length, this is to ensure that when you fully draw the bow it will not snap.
Making a Tiller
A tiller is the piece of equipment used to train the bow to bend without breaking. It is a vertical piece of wood with a number of notches cut into it at fixed intervals with a semi circle cut out at the top which the bow can rest in. The whole thing is supported on a suitable base.
Bellow is a guide to making a permanent tiller, however you can make them simply fr-om a piece of scrap wood, and this would be cut in accordance to the instructions below and then held in a vice.
To make a tiller you will need a hardwood plank (1.5″ x 2″ x 8′) and either screws or dowels to join the pieces together.
The first notch should be 7.5″ fr-om the top of the tiller. There should be a distance of 1.5″ between the top of one notch and the top of the next notch and enough notches to draw it to your draw length.
Join all the pieces together as per the diagram above, except for the 1.5″ x 1.5″ block which is tied onto the base piece to prevent the arm fr-om falling over. If this piece is attached, then the tiller will not fold flat.
Safety Tips for Long Bow handling
- Always remember that a loaded bow is a deadly weapon
- Never show your skill by using a human target or permit someone to hold a target for you
- Be sure no one is standing in front of or to the sides of the archer while bow is drawn
- Shoot only at the target. Try first shots at closer distances until comfortable
- Never use arrows that are too short
- Replace bowstring when it becomes worn or frayed
- Always sting your bow properly
- Always use finger and arm protectors
- Never use a target that cannot stop an arrow
Congratulations, you have made your first bow, go out and enjoy it.
Additional Resources and Further Reading
The very first thing I'd recommend you do if you're serious about bow-making is pick up a copy of Traditional Bowyers Encyclopedia: 2nd Edition (you can get it here fr-om Amazon for a nice discount) by Dan Bertalan, it really is not only THE bow-building encyclopedia, but it's precisely what you need if you're just getting started, it's an excellent guide. Another excellent series of books (there are 4 volumes) I recommend is Jim Hamm's "The Traditional Bowyer's Bible", here's volume 1 (Amazon has all 4 volumes): The Traditional Bowyer's Bible, Volume 1.

text: For the first time the possibility for parallel optical processing and recognition of interference patterns is shown. Sixty-four separated channels with multi-exposured holographic and low-cut filters are used The input interference patterns are calculated by finite element approach for penny-shaped crack in isotropic materials, surface defects and fault in laminate composite material. The set-up of an optical correlator for holographic recording of the filters and parallel processing of interference patterns is shown on Fig.l. High-resolution silver halide light sensitive material HP-650, made by the Bulgarian Academy of Sciences with different developers is used for holographic recording, creation of multiplicator and low-cut filters. Nine exposed holographic recordings were made for three different angles of rotation (-15 deg, 0, and +15 deg) and three different scales (-15%, 0, and +15%) of the interference patterns. Scale, shift and rotation invariant filtering has been obtained for a large angle of rotation of the input images The computer simulation, using a linear model of the system, is in good agreement with the experimental results. The differences could be explained by the nonlinearity of the multiexposure holographic recording For further development of the system and creation of the common filters for parallel optical processing of real two-dimensional interferometric data, a liquid crystal page composer and dynamic holographic recording in photorefractive materials are planed to be used.

What is a sardine stone in the Bible?
Sardine Stone is a type of limestone that is found in Sardinia, Italy. It is a very soft stone and has a wide range of colors, from white to pink to red. Sardine Stone is often used in jewelry and other decorative items.
Sardine Stone in the bible
The Sardine Stone, also known as the Petrified Man, is a stone mentioned in the Bible in the Book of Ezekiel. It is said to have fallen from heaven and to have been used by the prophet Ezekiel to write on. The stone is described as being very large, weighing over a hundred pounds (45 kg), and having the words "Ezekiel is the prophet of Yahweh" inscribed on it in Hebrew.
The Sardine Stone is not mentioned in any other sources outside the Bible, and its existence has not been verified. However, some scholars believe that it may have been a real object, possibly an inscribed meteorite or other types of stone. If it did exist, it would have been a valuable historical artifact, as it would have been one of the earliest examples of Hebrew writing.
Sardine Stone is a type of sedimentary rock that forms from the lithification of sardine scales. It is found in marine deposits and is characterized by its small, uniformly sized grains. The rock is named after the small fish known as sardines, which are common in the Mediterranean Sea.
Sardine Stone is made up of silt-sized particles of carbonate and phosphate. The carbonate comes from the shells of marine organisms, while the phosphate comes from the skeletons of microorganisms. The scales of sardines are made up of these same materials.
Sardine Stone is usually white or light-colored, but can also be shades of pink, red, or brown. It has a smooth texture and a low density. The rock is not very hard, and can be easily scratched with a knife.
Sardine Stone KJV
The Sardine Stone, also known as the Sarcophagus of the Spouses, is a limestone funerary monument from the late Etruscan period in central Italy (ca. 520 BCE). It is considered one of the finest examples of Etruscan art. The stone is decorated with relief carvings of a married couple reclining in an intimate embrace, surrounded by scenes of daily life and mythology. The stone was originally placed in the tomb of the husband and wife who are depicted on it, and would have been used to house their ashes.
The relief carving on the stone is incredibly detailed and realistic, which is typical of Etruscan art. The faces of the husband and wife are shown in profile, with their heads turned towards each other. They are both dressed in finely detailed clothing and jewelry, and their hair is styled in the traditional Etruscan manner. The surrounding scenes depict various aspects of daily life and mythology, including a
Sardine Stone pronunciation
The word "sardine" is derived from the Latin word "sarda", meaning "flesh of Sardinia". Sardines are small, oily fish that are found in coastal waters around the world. They are an important food source for many people and are often canned and used in salads, sandwiches, and other dishes.
The stone of a sardine is actually its backbone, which is made up of several fused vertebrae. The stone is hard and difficult to remove, so it is usually left in when the fish is canned. Some people remove the stones before eating, but they are not considered to be harmful if ingested.
Sardine Stone definition
A Sardine Stone is a small, round stone that is found in the stomach of a sardine. The stones are made up of calcium carbonate and other minerals, and they help the fish to grind up its food.
Meaning of Sardine Stone in the bible
The Meaning of the Sardine Stone in the Bible – The Sardine Stone is a term used in the Bible to describe a stone that was found in the belly of a fish. The stone was used as a sign to indicate that Jesus was the Messiah.

A hospital advertising campaign can be effective for several reasons. It can improve patient satisfaction and decrease readmission rates. It can also improve the perception of quality. In this article, we'll explore three major benefits of hospital advertisements. But how does advertising affect patients? How can you measure the impact of a hospital's new advertising campaign? Read on to find out! Here are some tips. Read on to maximize your hospital's marketing efforts. And don't forget to measure your results!
Impact of advertising on readmissions
The Impact of Hospital Advertising on Readmissions: A Study of California Medical Centers
A study of hospital readmission rates showed that hospitals that did not advertise had better average performance. This was true of CAHPS 5-star ratings and overall 5-star ratings. The study also found that hospitals with the highest levels of advertising had lower mortality rates and lower average readmission rates than nonadvertising hospitals. It also found a positive impact of hospital advertising on readmissions, particularly in the area of patient communication and education.
A study of acute care hospitals found that almost half of the institutions advertised their services. Hospitals with the highest levels of advertising had higher net assets and higher occupancy rates than hospitals that did not advertise. Hospitals with higher levels of advertising were also more likely to be major teaching hospitals. However, the results were not significantly different for hospitals without large advertising budgets. However, it's important to note that the study only included hospitals that were publicly-reported.
A hospital's readmission rate is directly related to the amount of advertising it spends on its website. The study also examined the number of Medicare patients it admitted. The hospital with the lowest percentage of low-income patients experienced a higher readmission rate than hospitals with the highest proportion. Hospitals in the middle quartile experienced a decrease of 1.7 percentage points and readmissions among the lowest-income patients fell by 2.0 percentage points.
Research has also indicated that patients with more serious conditions have a higher risk of being readmitted. Some of these reasons include poor diet and lifestyle choices. Some patients with heart disease, for example, do not follow their prescribed treatment and often return to the hospital for follow-up care. It's not surprising that some patients do not follow their doctors' orders. But, many of these people do not, and that can have disastrous consequences.
In this study, hospital advertising may not be responsible for reducing the number of readmissions. However, it may help in the improvement of patient safety. It's also important to understand how hospitals can improve patient safety. One method is to use medical insurance claims data to analyze the effect of advertising on readmission rates. In addition, the study also examined the days between initial discharge and readmission, as well as the day of the week that the patient was discharged.
Impact of advertising on perceptions of quality
One recent study looked at the impact of hospital advertising on consumer perceptions of quality. The study compared the five-star CAHPS ratings of hospitals that advertised to those that did not advertise. In fact, the difference in five-star ratings was minimal compared to the four-star CAHPS ratings of hospitals that did not advertise. However, the results were striking if we consider the fact that hospitals that advertise spent more money on advertising than did those that did not. The authors found that hospital advertising has the potential to deceive consumers and undermine public reporting.
Medical advertising has many negative consequences. It may encourage people to make poor decisions regarding treatment and health maintenance. It may also foster unrealistic expectations and encourage people to take unnecessary risks. It may also increase costs of healthcare overall. Further, studies have shown that hospitals that are flooded with advertising are more likely to experience high rates of negative patient evaluations. Therefore, advertising should be limited to the most effective ways to reach and influence consumers.
As health is essential to the overall well-being of individuals, the quality of healthcare service is important. As a result, hospitals are competing for patients' business. As a result, it is important to understand the patient's perspective of the quality of healthcare services. In the healthcare sector, patients' perception of the quality of healthcare services is critical to building trust and positive behavioural intentions. However, the effects of hospital advertising cannot be ignored.
Among the many factors that contribute to patient satisfaction, nurse-patient communication, responsiveness of hospital staff, and environment are important. The results also show that gender has a significant impact on the overall hospital rating. Female patients give lower ratings than male patients. Further, female patients report worse experiences than male patients. It is therefore important to consider the gender of patients when considering the patient's needs and the hospital's response to them.
Effects of advertising on patients
Hospitals spend $1.5 billion annually on advertising, a practice that has generated a lively debate about its ethical and efficacy. Diwas KC, professor of information systems at Emory University's Goizueta Business School, and Tongil Kim, an assistant professor of management at the Naveen Jindal School of Management in Texas, studied the impact of hospital advertising on patients in Massachusetts.
Their analysis found that hospitals that do not advertise were significantly better than those that do. The nonadvertising hospitals were more likely to achieve the five-star rating and CAHPS score, and had lower mortality rates. The difference in mortality rates was particularly striking for hospitals that did not advertise, which were often smaller and more rural. But this difference was not confined to the financial impact. Researchers also found no evidence that hospitals that invest in advertising have higher quality care.
The use of emotional messages should be discouraged in medical service advertisements. Moreover, academic medical centers consistently use emotional messages. Over 60% of advertisements target patients' emotions, and they consistently promote benefits that are not scientifically proven. However, these advertisements are not necessarily misleading. In general, they can lead to poor health and disease decisions. This has implications for hospitals' overall costs. The study will also help physicians determine whether hospitals should make advertising more patient-oriented.
The study also looked at how much money hospitals spent on advertising. Hospitals that advertise were three times bigger than those that did not. They had higher bed counts and higher net income than those that do not advertise. The study did not distinguish between non-advertising and advertising hospitals, so the results can be considered inexact. The researchers concluded that hospital advertising affects quality and patient satisfaction. So, if hospital advertising is effective in attracting patients, it may be a good idea to keep this in mind when choosing a hospital.
While a hospital's advertising budget is a critical element in improving patient care, the value of advertising is largely dependent on the medium used. For example, the Willis-Knighton Health System adopted a triangulation approach to determine the value of its advertising. It studied the use of radio, newspaper, and television ads. They compared the performance of the two groups to an average of all hospitals. Interestingly, the Willis-Knighton Health System had the highest average HRRs among those that advertised while hospitals that did not.
While the amount of money hospitals spend on direct-to-consumer advertising does not directly correlate with publicly reported measures of hospital quality, it does correlate with the financial health of hospitals. Hospitals that advertise more often have higher net incomes and are financially stable. As a result, hospital advertising may be misleading consumers and undermining public reporting efforts. As such, the study is critical in understanding whether high-quality hospitals are responsible for most of the DTC hospital advertising.

It seems like a través de and por medio de can often be used to mean the same thing. What is the difference between them, and in what contexts can you only use one or the other?

There's little (if any) semantic difference between these two constructs, as they both can express mode:
Hicieron el pago a través de transferencia bancaria.
Hicieron el pago por medio de transferencia bancaria.
and place:
Se hizo paso a través del paseo marítimo.
Se hizo paso por medio del paseo marítimo.
However in the first pair of examples, por medio sounds awkwardly more formal than a través, and in the second one, rather uncultured (if that's the right word in English).
There are cases in which por medio sounds just as acceptable as other options, but as a rule of thumb, always prefer a través de.

I would translate "a través de" as "through," and "por medio de" as "by means of," or "using." The difference is rather slight.

+1 I like that. Sometimes you can use through and by means of interchangeably, but you would never say "he drilled a hole by means of the wall" That is more or less when the two terms are different in Spanish as well. – DeStrangis Feb 22 '13 at 12:02
Perhaps you can read "por medio de" almost literally, "through the medium of". – Tony Apr 18 '14 at 22:48
