Football fouls more likely to be given when play heads left
A simple perceptual bias could influence football referees' judgements about whether a foul occurred or not. That's according to Alexander Kranjec and colleagues, who had 12 football players at the University of Pennsylvania look for half a second each at 268 static images of one player tackling another and decide whether a foul had been committed. Unbeknown to the participants, 134 of the pictures were simply mirror opposites of the other 134.
Kranjec's team said their finding has implications for refereeing. The most popular system, known as the 'left diagonal refereeing system' (see picture), in which the referee runs a diagonal axis between the two left-hand corners of the pitch, results in the referee witnessing tackles in both goal areas primarily from a right-to-left perspective, thus making judgments of fouls in these areas more likely – an advantage to attackers. This is okay because it applies to both teams. What's important, Kranjec and colleagues warn, is that the referee doesn't switch to a 'right diagonal system' half-way through a match, potentially penalising a losing side that needs to attack yet no longer enjoys the benefits of this perceptual bias when playing in offensive areas.
'These results … suggest that the effects of a low-level perceptual mechanisms could alter a decision, change the result of a game and perhaps, the fortunes of nations,' the researchers said.

 1. The researchers think this anomaly may have to do with our bias (at least in cultures that read from right to left) for rightward motion.
 I believe you meant to say left to right, right to left would be reading…well left.
 2. This may also help to explain why some fouls are so hotly contested while others are not. Aside from all the obvious reasons why fans object to any foul their side receives, they may truly see a different play than the ref does. If the fans of the team objecting the ref's call on a particular play have the opposite perspective from the referee, they might see it as more or less offensive than the ref (depending, of course, on whether it's their team or the opponents receiving the call.)
 3. I do not know if a sampling of 12 soccer players is an adequate sample size for the results to be valid…

text: Wireless local area networks (WLANs) have allowed us to deploy seamless and high capacity wireless systems easily and inexpensively. However, recently, channel interference between different services has become a serious problem because access points (APs) of WLANs are located too densely. In the carrier sense multiple access with collision avoidance used in WLANs, the hidden terminal (HT) problems occur depending on the distance between stations and the carrier sensing range. In the higher dense deployment mentioned above, the HT problems occur complicatedly. In this paper, we propose an AP cooperation system that detects the HT problems between stations (STAs). In our system, APs obtain the information of connected STAs from received frames and the HT problems are identified from the integration of the information obtained at different APs. The effectiveness is verified by simulations.

Project: Splitting Task Oriented Social Networks into a Task Related Layer and the Rest
2013-14
Mentor: Vladimir Filkov (Computer Science)
Task Oriented Social Networks are distributed groups of people who participate together on accomplishing specific tasks (e.g. Open Source Software projects), linked in pairs based on their communication. The links in these networks are multiplexed: some communication is about specific tasks while others are about the process of accomplishing them or of a more social nature. We have assembled historically complete social networks of communications between developers in hundreds of Open Source Software projects. The goal of this RTG project is to develop methods to split each of those networks into two layers: links used for communicating task information, and the rest.
The student on this project will do some basic content analysis of the text messages to identify task-oriented keywords, and will develop the appropriate data structures and analysis framework to store and specify longitudinal multiplex networks. The initial work and results along these lines is given in our paper "Latent Social Structure in Open Source Projects", _URL_

Power of Attorney - Grand Traverse County Probate Court
Estates & Protected Individuals Code
There are various types of arrangements available under the Estates and Protected Individuals Code when a minor needs someone other than a parent to make decisions usually made by a parent. The Estates and Protected Individuals Code is an Act adopted by the legislature to govern proceedings in Probate Court.
Power of Attorney
A parent can execute a power of attorney delegating the parent's power regarding the case, custody, or property of a minor for a period not to exceed 6 months. A guardian of a minor may also execute a power of attorney. MCL _PHONE_. If a guardian executes a power of attorney, the guardian must notify the Court within 7 days and provide the Court with the person's name, address, and telephone number.
This power is limited to the extent that it cannot include a power to release a minor for adoption or consent to adoption and marriage. The power of attorney cannot contain an automatic renewal clause. Therefore, any renewal of the power must result from another execution of the power for each period not to exceed 6 months. The Supreme Court has ruled that a power of attorney may be used to establish school residency when the child resides with a relative. Feaster v Portage Public Schools, 451 Mich. 351 (1996).

The public will soon have an app with an emergency button that will enable their videos and photos of public incidents to be turned into real-time intelligence for first responders.
First responders to terror attacks, school shootings, and other public crimes such as child abductions, will have real-time information at their fingertips.
A national security platform and public app currently being developed by Australian software solutions company Citadel Group using Microsoft's new Azure Australia Central secure cloud region, is being touted as a game-changer.
The Citadel app allows the real-time upload and analysis of all data streams from smartphones near the scene of an incident, and uses AI technology to turn all of that video and audio content into vital intelligence for the first responders.
To work the system, the smartphone operator would press an emergency button which would turn on all the information-gathering components of the phone, such as the microphone and camera, as well as pinpoint the users' location.
"We're confident this will work because it's a natural reaction anyway," Citadel's general manager of national security Rob Hartley said.
"Like it or not people's instinctive reaction now in the event of an incident is to take out their phones and start streaming it, or take photos of it. What this does is channel that reaction somewhere more usable."
It will also help authorities to much more speedily and efficiently piece together the whole incident.
Where the FBI tasked about 150 agents with the job of combing through social media videos and photos to produce leads in the investigation into the Boston Marathon bombing in 2013, the Citadel app would collate all of that information and analyse it in one place.
At the time, Boston Police commissioner Ed Davis was quoted as saying, the process involved going through "every frame of every video we have to determine who was in the area".
Citadel CEO Darren Stanley told News.com.au, the idea for the app came as its creators watched the Lindt Cafe siege unfold in Sydney in 2014.
"First responders didn't have the information they needed at the time to take out the perpetrator and we felt we could design a system that made all that information available to first responders to more accurately deal with that situation," Stanley said.
Managing director of Microsoft Australia Steven Worrall said the company was proud to work with Citadel on such an important cause.
"Public safety and security is of paramount importance to all Australians," he said.
"The opportunity to leverage Azure and work with Citadel on this world-first application is a great privilege for Microsoft and a clear signal that our investment in Azure Australia Central will have huge national impact."

text: This paper presents a novel tactile probe head designed for tissue palpation during minimally invasive surgery (MIS). The probe head uses fiber optics and consists of 14 tactile sensing elements at 2.5-mm spacing with a diameter of 14 mm. Each tactile element contains a microstructure converting the tissue reaction force applied on sensing nodes into a circular image pattern through transmitting and receiving fibers. The image patterns of all the sensing elements are captured by a camera attached at the proximal end of the receiving fibers and are converted to tactile force feedback through image processing. Validation tests showed that each sensing element of the tactile probe head can measure forces from 0 to 0.5 N with a resolution of 0.05 N. The proposed sensing probe is low cost, lightweight, sterilizable, easy to be miniaturized, and magnetic resonance environment compatible. Experiments were performed for testing the probe's capability of detecting the tissue abnormality through spatial distribution of tactile force feedback. The proposed tactile probe head with its capacity to accurately detect nodules embedded inside soft tissue can be an effective tool in surgical palpation during MIS.

Brown fat is a special kind of fat, with small vacuoles in the cells rather than a single large oil drop.
Brown fat is also rich in mitochondria.
Mitochondria are brown. Can you figure out why? Remember all the cytochromes which they contain. Then think of all these colored substances mixed together, like your tempra paints when you were in grammar school. They make brown.
The abundance of mitochondria accounts for the color of liver, kidney, myocardium (mixed with myoglobin for a red-brown), and brown fat.
This is brown fat. You'll have no trouble finding the capillaires; brown fat is generously supplied.

What Is The Purpose Of A Check Point When Rollback Is Used?
What is rollback in distributed system?
Abstract: We consider the problem of bringing a distributed system to a consistent state after transient failures.
Similarly, when a process rolls back and restarts after a failure, a minimal number of additional processes are forced to roll back with it.
What's another word for checkpoint?
Noun, singular or mass roadblock, barrier, dam, inspection, barricade, post, position.
What is rollback recovery?
- Rollback recovery protocols. – restore the system back to a consistent state after a failure. – achieve fault tolerance by periodically saving the state of a process. during the failure-free execution. – treats a distributed system application as a collection of processes that.
What happens at the M checkpoint?
The G2 checkpoint ensures all of the chromosomes have been replicated and that the replicated DNA is not damaged before cell enters mitosis. The M checkpoint determines whether all the sister chromatids are correctly attached to the spindle microtubules before the cell enters the irreversible anaphase stage.
What is Rollback?
What is the checkpoint?
: a point at which a check is performed vehicles were inspected at various checkpoints.
Is it check point or checkpoint?
1 Answer. Checkpoint does not need to be hyphenated, nor is it two words. The OED (Oxford English Dictionary) lists it as a single word in both its British English and US English versions.
How do I contact checkpoints?
For questions about support processes, contracts or User Center and licensing, please call Account Services at _PHONE_ and select option 3, or contact Account Services online.
What are the guidelines in having checkpoint?
What is checkpoint used for?
A checkpoint, in a virtualization context, is a snapshot of the state of a virtual machine. Like a restore point in Windows operating systems, a checkpoint allows the administrator to return the virtual machine to a previous state. Checkpoints are most commonly used to create backups before conducting updates.
Is it illegal to turn around at a checkpoint?
It is not illegal to turn around prior to a checkpoint. However, it is illegal to make an illegal turn prior to a checkpoint. … If the driver made an illegal U-turn to get away from the checkpoint, the police officer can pull the driver over for breaking a law. If no laws are broken, no stops can occur.
Can I cross a checkpoint with a work permit?
Non-citizens who encounter the checkpoints have to show that they are staying in the US legally. … An EAD card (what you call a "work permit card") only proves your authorization to work in the US; it does not by itself prove that you are in the US legally.
What is checkpoint in deep learning?
When training deep learning models, the checkpoint is the weights of the model. These weights can be used to make predictions as is, or used as the basis for ongoing training. … The API allows you to specify which metric to monitor, such as loss or accuracy on the training or validation dataset.
What is checkpointing explain in brief?
Checkpointing is a technique that provides fault tolerance for computing systems. It basically consists of saving a snapshot of the application's state, so that applications can restart from that point in case of failure.

Point Source Localization with a Planar Optical Phased Array Compressive Sensor
preprintposted on 2023-06-08, 12:46 authored by Julian A. Brown, Steven J. Spector, Michael Moebius, Lucas Benney, Daniel Vresilovic, Brian Dolle, Alexandra Z. Greenbaum, Alex Huang, Christopher V. Poulton, Michael R. Watts, Robin Dawson, Benjamin F. Lane, J. P. Laine, Kerri Cahoy, Hannah A. Clevenson
Compressive sensing has been used to demonstrate scene reconstruction and source localization in a wide variety of devices. To date, optical compressive sensors have not been able to achieve significant volume reduction relative to conventional optics of equivalent angular resolution. Here, we adapt silicon-photonic optical phased array technology to demonstrate, to our knowledge, the first application of compressive imaging in a photonic-integrated device. Our novel sensor consists of an $8\times 8$ grid of grating couplers with a spacing of $100~\mu$m. Path-matched waveguides route to a single multimode interferometer (MMI), which mixes and randomizes the signals into 64 outputs to be used for compressed sensing. Our device is fully passive, having no need for phase shifters, as measurement matrix calibration makes the measurements robust to phase errors. For testing, we use an Amplified Spontaneous Emission (ASE) source with a bandwidth of 40 nm, centered at 1545 nm. We demonstrate simultaneous multi-point (2 sources demonstrated in this work) brightness recovery and localization with better than 10 arcsecond precision in a sub-millimeter thick form-factor. We achieve a single source recovery rate higher than 99.9\% using 10 of the 64 outputs, and a 90\% recovery rate with only 6 outputs, 10 times fewer than the 64 needed for conventional imaging. This planar optical phased array compressive sensor is well-suited for imaging sparse scenes in applications constrained by form factor, volume, or high-cost detectors, with the potential to revolutionize endoscopy, beam locators, and LIDAR.

K8ssandra Documentation
K8ssandra documentation: architecture, configuration, guided tasks
k8ssandra-operator is a turnkey solution to manage Apache Cassandra and DSE on Kubernetes. Apache Cassandra is the premiere wide column NoSQL data store, offering low latency, geo-replication, and the capacity to store petabytes of data. Apache Cassandra is in use in 90% of the Fortune 500 in some capacity.
DSE is the DataStax distribution of Apache Cassandra, offering additional features such as advanced security, analytics, and search, as well as features not yet available in Cassandra like vector search for generative AI applications.
k8ssandra-operator allows for the deployment of multiple Apache Cassandra datacenters, spanned over multiple Kubernetes clusters. The intention of this architecture is to provide geo-replication to enhance latency (by moving data closer to the end user) and availability (by providing multiple datacenters to serve requests in the event of a datacenter failure or network partition).
Apache Cassandra offers rack and failure zone aware data replication which is both replicated and sharded for performance and protection.
It incorporates the following functionality;
Deployment
Apache Cassandra can be deployed into multiple datacenters in separate regions or availability/failure zones. k8ssandra-operator makes this possible by enabling communication between multiple Kubernetes clusters and deploying Cassandra datacenters into them.
This distinguishes k8ssandra-operator from cass-operator (which is used internally within k8ssandra-operator) which does not automate multi-region deployments.
A single k8ssandra-operator instance in a control plane cluster can manage many data plane DCs across multiple Kubernetes clusters, and split across multiple Cassandra clusters. Clusters of up to 1000 nodes have been tested and confirmed to perform well.
Advanced Cassandra features such as Change Data Capture (CDC) are supported and can be configured using Kubernetes manifests.
Monitoring
Monitoring is a critical service in any distributed system, and k8ssandra-operator provides a rich suite of Apache Cassandra metrics via an agent added to the Cassandra JVM.
By integrating with Vector, k8ssandra-operator allows metrics to flow to a location of the user's choice, including an existing Prometheus or Mimir instance. A variety of other protocols and systems such as AMQP, Elasticsearch, Kafka, or Redis (see here for a full list of integrations) are also supported.
Metrics pipelines can be configured using Kubernetes custom resources, allowing for the creation of multiple pipelines to support different use cases across many clusters.
Cassandra auditing and monitoring features such as full query logging are supported and can be configured direct from a K8ssandraCluster manifest.
Repairs and data maintenance
Apache Cassandra requires regular maintenance to ensure data is replicated consistently across the cluster. k8ssandra-operator automates this process by running repairs on a regular schedule using Reaper, a widely adopted solution for anti-entropy repairs in Cassandra maintained by the K8ssandra team.
Using k8ssandra-operator, you can use Kubernetes manifests to configure and monitor the success of repair schedules across many Cassandra datacenters and clusters.
Backup and restore
k8ssandra-operator uses Medusa to enable backup of Cassandra's SSTables to cloud storage locations such as S3 buckets, GCS and Azure storage.
Backup and restore schedules can be configured using Kubernetes manifests, allowing for declarative, auditable management of backup and restore processes.
Flexible APIs
Stargate for Apache Cassandra offers advanced APIs including integration with the Mongoose object modelling framework for node.js, GraphQL, and REST. It can also enhance Cassandra's native CQL performance in some cluster topologies.
Using k8ssandra-operator, Stargate can be deployed and configured via simple Kubernetes manifests.
Where to from here?
This documentation covers everything from install details, deployed components, configuration references, and guided outcome-based tasks.

Dashboard Script for Automatic Filter Cascading
This dashboard script below can be used to synchronize the selections of a set of filters. For example, if the first filter is set to ABC, all subsequent filters listed will automatically be updated to ABC as well. The script also replicates the disabled state from the first filter to the other filters. look below for an example of Elasticube and dashboard. Please note: Our community website does not currently support .dash (dashboard) and .smodel (Elasticube) files. Please change the extensions of the files before importing them into your environment. Note that once imported, the cube still needs to be built.
Example Use Case: When dealing with multiple date fields in a fact table, this article provides two options, both of which require duplicating all rows in the fact table as many times as the number of date fields. For example, if you have three date fields that you need to analyze your KPIs by, you'll have to have three copies of the fact table. While these approaches are easy to implement, oftentimes they are not feasible and scalable solutions due to the size of the data. A more scalable alternative is to duplicate the date dimension table, which is substantially smaller than a fact table (e.g. a date dimension table containing 10 years of data only has either 3,652 or 3,653 rows), then connect each date field from the fact to the corresponding date dimension table. See the picture below for an example.

TriAnthony_0-1702322218860.png
The next step is to add each date field as a filter to the dashboard. Keep only the first filter editable and lock the other filters. The subsequent filters will be updated automatically as users set the first filter.

TriAnthony_0-1702325930661.png
Ensure that the filters are correctly toggled on/off in each widget's setting. In the example above, the first widget shows the number of hospital admissions by the admission date. Therefore, only the first (Admission Date) filter should be turned on.

TriAnthony_2-1702323035685.png
The last step is to add the dashboard script that automatically cascades the selection of the first filter to the subsequent filters. In the filterNames variable, specify the names of the filters, starting from the first filter, from which the selections will be replicated to other filters. This is the only part of the code that requires your input.

/*************************** This script is used to synchronize the selections of a set of filters ***********************/
/** E.g. if the first filter is set to ABC, all subsequent filters listed will automatically be updated to ABC as well ***/
/***************** The script also replicates the disabled state from the first filter to the other filters **************/
//Specify the names of the filters, starting from the first filter, from which the selections will be replicated to other filters
//This is the only part of the code that requires your input
var filterNames = ['Admission Date', 'Discharge Date', 'Last Visit Date']
//Every time a filter is changed, this code is executed
dashboard.on('filterschanged',function(d) {
 //Find the first filter by name
 var filter1FilterObject = dashboard.filters.$$items.find((item) => {
 if (item.jaql && item.jaql.title.indexOf(filterNames[0]) !== -1) {
 return true;
 }
 });
 //Get the JAQL filter selection of the first filter
 var filter1FilterObjectJAQL = filter1FilterObject.jaql;
 //Get the JAQL filter disabled state of the first filter
 var filter1FilterObjectDisabled = filter1FilterObject.disabled;
 //Define an array for the subsequent filters' objects
 var filterObjects = new Array();
 //Find each of the subsequent filters by name
 for(i=1 ; i<filterNames.length ; i++) {
 filterObjects[i-1] = dashboard.filters.$$items.find((item) => {
 if (item.jaql && item.jaql.title.indexOf(filterNames[i]) !== -1) {
 return true;
 }
 });
 }
 //Update the properties of the subsequent filters to match the first filter
 for(i=0 ; i<filterObjects.length ; i++) {
 if(typeof filterObjects[i] != 'undefined') {
 filterObjects[i].jaql.filter = filter1FilterObjectJAQL.filter;
 filterObjects[i].disabled = filter1FilterObjectDisabled;
 }

 if(filter1FilterObjectJAQL.datatype == 'datetime') {
 filterObjects[i].jaql.level = filter1FilterObjectJAQL.level;
 }
 }
 //Refresh the dashboard
 dashboard.refresh();
});

Yes! I was just running into this problem the other day. (Synchronizing dimension filters.) Thank you for sharing it.
Sisense really should make this a feature of the platform -- not every environment is comfortable with writing/applying code to solve a problem.

There will be a lot more demand for vascular surgeons and cardiologists by 2025, according to a study in Health Affairs. At 31%, vascular surgery has the highest projected demand growth.
Demand will vary by state. So while there will be a 20–25% increase in demand for cardiology services nationally over the next decade, "the projected increase in demand ranges from 5% in West Virginia to 51% in Nevada," the authors write.
Researchers constructed a model that takes into account a growing and aging population as well as better access to health care, thanks to the Affordable Care Act. The population is expected to grow 9.5% between 2013 and 2025, but the number of people 65 and older is expected to grow 45%.
Advances in technology will be one of the wild cards, say the authors, and "can lead to increased demand for services and providers (for example, new treatment options) as well as to reduce demand (such as cures for chronic conditions)."
They add that "the increased use of value-based insurance design and efforts to make patients and providers more cost-conscious might reduce demand for service."

Bug _PHONE_ added code to perform inline string comparisons. We can reuse that code to speed-up String.prototype.startsWith when the search string is a constant string. (Constant search strings are quite common [1] when compared to non-constant search string [2].)
Real-world use case:
Scrolling down on _URL_ generates 100K calls to String.prototype.startsWith whenever new content is loaded. After this patch, only the non-Warp calls are left (10-30K calls in total).
[1] Constant search string: _URL_
[2] Non-constant search string: _URL_
For now simply call into the VM. Part 3 will add an optimisation when the
search string is a constant, which is by far the most common use.
Part 3 will use this function.
Depends on D153592
This is by far the most common use and it's easy to optimise this case.
Depends on D153593
Instead of directly calling startsWith, some code uses substring to check
for string prefixes. Let's detect this pattern, so we can use the faster code
path added in part 3.
Depends on D153594
This ensures the folded MSubstr from part 4 can actually be DCE'ed.

NetLogo uses the log4j package for logging. If you have previous experience with this package you'll find logging in NetLogo familiar.
Logging is supported only by the special NetLogo Logging application. It doesn't work in applets.
This depends on what operating system you are using.
There is a special logging launcher in the NetLogo directory called NetLogo Logging. Double click on the icon.
On Windows, the NetLogo directory can be found at C:\Program Files, unless you chose a different location when you installed NetLogo.
To enable logging, invoke the netlogo.sh script as follows:
netlogo.sh --logging netlogo_logging.xml
You could also modify the script to include these flags, or copy the script and modify the copy.
You can replace netlogo_logging.xml with any valid log4j XML configuration file, which will be discussed in more detail later.
When NetLogo starts up it will ask for a user name. This name will appear in all the logs generated during this session.
Logs are stored in the OS-specific temp directory. On most Unix-like systems that is /tmp. On Windows XP, logs can be found in c:\Documents and Settings\\Local Settings\Temp, where is the logged in user and on Windows Vista the logs can be found in c:\Users\\AppData\Local\Temp. On Mac OS X, the temp directory varies for each user. You can determine your temp directory by opening the Terminal application and typing echo $TMPDIR at the prompt.
There are two convenience commands that will help you manage the logs. __zip-log-files filename will gather all the logs in the temp directory and put them in one zip file, at the location specified. After doing __zip-log-files the existing logs are not deleted, you can do so explicitly by using __delete-log-files.
The following is a chart describing the name of the loggers available, the type of events each logs, at what level, and provides a sample output using the XMLLayout. All the loggers are found in org.nlogo.log.Logger. When referring to the loggers in the configuration file you should use the fully qualified name. So, for example, the logger GLOBALS would actually be org.nlogo.log.Logger.GLOBALS
|GLOBALS||a global variable changes||info, debug||
 FOO 51.0
|GREENS||sliders, switches, choosers, input boxes are changed through the interface||info||
 changed foo 51.0 0.0 100.0 1.0
|CODE||code is compiled, including: command center, Code tab, slider bounds, and buttons||info||

|WIDGETS||a widget is added or removed from the interface||info||

|LINKS||links die or are born||info||

The default logging configuration (netlogo_logging.xml) looks something like this:
NetLogo defines 8 loggers, all descend directly from the root logger, which means unless you explicitly set the properties (appender, layout, and output level) in the configuration they will inherit them from the root. In the default configuration the root is set to level INFO, the appender is org.nlogo.log.XMLFileAppender and layout is org.nlogo.log.XMLLayout. Together these generate a nicely formatted XML file as defined in the netlogo_logging.dtd which is based on the log4j dtd. If the appender is a FileAppender (including the XMLFileAppender) a new file is start each time the user opens a model.

This configuration, first defines an appender named "A1" of type XMLFileAppender with an XMLLayout. The appender defines where the logging data goes, in this case the data goes into a file. In fact, if NetLogo is given a FileAppender it will automatically start a new file every time the user opens a new model. The XMLFileAppender also does some formatting and writes the appropriate headers to the file. The layout defines how to write each individual message. Unless you are an advanced user there is no need change (or worry about) the appender or the layout.
At the end of the configuration notice the definition of the root logger. All of the other loggers descend from the root logger and, thus, inherit the properties of the root unless explicitly set. This case is fairly simple, having set up the appender A1 we make that the default appender for the root (and all other loggers) and make the default priority "INFO". Messages that are logged at the INFO level or higher will be written, messages logged at lower levels will not. Note that with only one exception NetLogo always logs at level INFO. Sets to globals that don't change the value of the global are logged at level DEBUG. Which means that these messages are disabled by default, since debug is lower level than info. The rest of the body of the configuration file overrides properties of the root logger in a few specific loggers (or categories as they are known in the configuration file, the terms can be assumed to be synonymous for the proposes of this document). That is it turns off the WIDGET, TURTLES, and LINKS loggers, by default. To re-enable them you can changes the priority from off to info, like this:

or you can simply remove the entire reference to the category from the configuration file, as it is not serving any other purpose.
This is only a basic introduction to configuration files for logging in NetLogo. There are many more configuration options available through the log4j framework. See the log4j documentation.

Organizational Change as a Potential Risk Factor for Employee Health - A prospective study of organizational change, empowering leadership, work predictability and employee health
MetadataShow full item record
- Institutt for psykologi
The objective of this study was to examine whether organizational changes predicted employee health, and whether empowering leadership moderated and work predictability mediated this potential relationship. Eight types of organizational changes were investigated, and the assessed health outcomes were self-estimated general health and neck pain. It was found that more extensive organizational changes were associated With impaired employee health in the cross-sectional analyses. However, no significant results were found in the prospective analyses. Although some of the organizational changes were related to adverse health outcomes, it was not found a basis of assuming that organizational changes had a substantial influence on employee health. Nevertheless, extensice changes could be seen as a potential risk factor for employee health. Work predictability was found to partially mediate the relationship between organizational changes and employee health in cross-sectional analyses. It was not found sufficient support for indicating that the relationship between organizational changes and employee health was dependent upon the level of empowering leadership, even though empowering leadership was associated With better employee health.


Integral Somatic Psychotherapy
Integral Somatic Psychotherapy2
ISP stands for Integral Somatic Psychotherapy. Psychological regulation, body regulation, and subtle body (called energy body in the West) regulation are the three pillars of Integral Somatic Psychotherapy (ISP).
Most mainstream non body-oriented therapeutic approaches get into a pattern of addressing experiences that, as they emerge (mostly in the chest area), are immediately translated into "understanding" them. There is nothing wrong with this per se as understanding is an important part of healing. However, when understanding dominates the process, the capacity to work through the experience and to leave it behind is diminished. Associations and meanings grow. And very soon, we are in a Woody Allen movie.
Such approaches miss the simple fact that the more intense an experience is in the body, more of the body needs to be involved in holding and processing it.
Integral Somatic PsychotherapyWhen we have difficult or unpleasant emotions and thoughts our body gets stressed. The body then constricts to manage the stress. If this persists, pressure builds up, especially in a very narrow part of the body. The solution is to find a way to expand the body and spread the difficult experience so that it becomes more tolerable and does not trigger a symptom (example: a panic attack could be triggered by the unpleasant emotion of fear).
When the three pillars of ISP are simultaneously involved in therapy, they allow us to make a bigger space for the difficult experience so that the body can hold more of it. ISP brings the benefits of three perspectives to maximize treatment effectiveness. As we practice in session, these tools can be learned and used at home.
Awareness, movement, breath, or self-touch allow us to have a fuller experience of the feeling, a greater ability to tolerate it, and even a more coherent sense of its meaning. The understanding that comes from a deeply felt experience is more likely to be relevant to the situation. Overall, it is less threatening. Relief is immediate.

What does augmented unipolar limb leads mean?
What does augmented unipolar limb leads mean?
The augmented unipolar limb leads aVR, aVL, and aVF, introduced by Goldberger in 1942, are an integral part of the 12-lead ECG [1,2]. Leads I, II, and III have 2 dedicated electrodes, but the other 9 leads have a single dedicated electrode, and another one constructed from the averaged inputs of multiple electrodes.
Are augmented limb leads unipolar?
In addition to the three bipolar limb leads, there are three augmented unipolar limb leads. These are termed unipolar leads because there is a single positive electrode that is referenced against a combination of the other limb electrodes.
How do unipolar limb leads work?
Unipolar leads (augmented leads and chest leads) have a single positive recording electrode and utilize a combination of the other electrodes to serve as a composite negative electrode. Normally, when an ECG is recorded, all leads are recorded simultaneously, giving rise to what is called a 12-lead ECG.
What is the purpose of augmented leads?
The three augmented leads are designated aVR, aVL, and aVF. An impulse directed toward a limb lead records a positive or upright deflection in that lead.
What is a unipolar lead?
[ lēd ] n. A lead of an electrocardiograph in which one electrode is placed on the chest in the vicinity of the heart or on one of the limbs, while the other is placed at an area of zero potential. A record obtained from such a lead.
What is augmented lead?
Augmented limb leads. The potential difference between the reference electrode and an exploring electrode constitutes the augmented lead. The three exploring electrodes are the right arm (R), the left arm (L), and the left leg (F).
What is an augmented lead?
What does augmented lead mean?
aug·ment·ed lead electrocardiogram recorded between one limb and two other limbs.
What is the meaning of augmented lead?
aug·ment·ed lead electrocardiogram recorded between one limb and two other limbs. The augmented leads are designated aVF, aVL, and aVR for recordings made between the foot (left), left arm, and right arm, respectively, and the other two limbs.
What is the difference between unipolar and bipolar limb leads?
Unipolar or bipolar? The leads can be either bipolar or unipolar. Unipolar leads register activity in the heart which is directed towards, or located below the electrode, whereas bipolar leads register the voltage between two electrodes.
Which chest leads are unipolar?
In addition to the three standard limb leads and the three augmented limb leads that view the electrical activity of the heart from the frontal plane, there are six precordial, unipolar chest leads….Electrocardiogram Chest Leads (Unipolar)
Leads Ventricular Region
V1-V2 anteroseptal
V3-V4 anteroapical
V5-V6 anterolateral
What are the limb leads?
Limb leads are made up of 4 leads placed on the extremities: left and right wrist; left and right ankle. The lead connected to the right ankle is a neutral lead, like you would find in an electric plug. It is there to complete an electrical circuit and plays no role in the ECG itself.
How are augmented leads formed?
Augmented limb leads They are derived from the same three electrodes as leads I, II, and III, but they use Goldberger's central terminal as their negative pole. Goldberger's central terminal is a combination of inputs from two limb electrodes, with a different combination for each augmented lead.
What are augmented voltage leads?
The same three leads that form the standard leads also form the three unipolar leads known as the augmented leads. These three leads are referred to as aVR (right arm), aVL (left arm) and aVF (left leg) and also record a change in electric potential in the frontal plane.
What is unipolar and bipolar lead?
A unipolar lead is a single conductor lead with an electrode located at the tip. A bipolar lead has two separate and isolated conductors within a single-lead; the distal electrode is located at the tip of the lead and the other one is usually about 2 cm more proximal.
How do limb leads work?
Principles of the limb leads. Leads I, II, III, aVF, aVL and aVR are all derived using three electrodes, which are placed on the right arm, the left arm and the left leg. Given the electrode placements, in relation to the heart, these leads primarily detect electrical activity in the frontal plane.
What is the augmented unipolar left leg lead?
- aVF—the augmented unipolar left leg lead, orientated to the inferior surface of the heart Precordial Chest Leads. These are horizontal plane, unipolar leads, placed as follows: • V1—fourth intercostal space immediately right of the sternum • V2—fourth intercostal space immediately left of the sternum
What are the unipolar limb leads aVR?
Unipolar Limb Leads aVR aVL aVF 1 V1—fourth intercostal space immediately right of the sternum 2 V2—fourth intercostal space immediately left of the sternum 3 V3—exactly halfway between the positions of V2 and V4 4 V4—fifth intercostal space in the mid-clavicular line 5 V5—same horizontal level as V4 but on the anterior axillary line
What is a unipolar limb lead in ECG?
Electrocardiogram Augmented Limb Leads (Unipolar) In addition to the three bipolar limb leads, there are three augmented unipolar limb leads. These are termed unipolar leads because there is a single positive electrode that is referenced against a combination of the other limb electrodes.
What is a unipolar lead in EEG?
These are termed unipolar leads because there is a single positive electrode that is referenced against a combination of the other limb electrodes. The positive electrodes for these augmented leads are located on the left arm (aV L ), the right arm (aV R ), and the left leg (aV F ).

Nancy Deren is a financial coach and counselor in Gainesville Fl in her late 50s who is realizing a dream held since college of living with friends. The original idea of companionship and fun remain a core concept, but now, preparing for the impacts of energy shortages, climate change, and economic upheaval, plus holding a larger vision of peace and justice, have provided the impetus to act.
Nancy and two friends sold their individual houses, bought a 1976 built house, and have remodeled and added on to it using various energy efficient, low toxicity products, to include 3 mother in law suites while sharing the main spaces. They are planting for food and habitat, not lawn, setting up rainwater catchment, are in walking distance of many amenities and are hoping to reduce and stabilize living expenses going forward. Nancy moved in during January, her friends in February and March, so they are busy adapting to this shift from theory to reality.

text: A stochastic model based on first-order Markov chain was developed to simulate daily rainfall. The model is capable of simulating daily rainfall data of any length, based on the estimated transitional probabilities, mean, standard deviation and skew coefficients of rainfall amounts. A study of rainfall probability is an approach to sound planning for any variation of rainfall either small or large. The simulation model has been used successfully to estimate daily rainfall. The Multivariate logistic regression is used to estimate the probability that it is raining. The logistic regression technique is used to compare between the actual and simulation results for a rainfall from January to December in Bangladesh. The probability of occurrence of rainfall is of vital importance in efficient planning and execution of water use program. This study describes a crop-climate simulation model under rainfed conditions in Bangladesh to be used as a tool for analyzing growth and yield to help planning and management of rice production.


Letting bodies be bodies: Exploring Relaxed Performance in the Canadian performance landscape
Authors: Andrea LaMarre, Carla Rice, Kayla Besse
There is an increasing movement toward accessibility in arts spaces, including recent legislative changes and commitments at individual, organizational, and systemic levels to integrating access into the arts across Canada. In this article, we explore Relaxed Performance (RP) in the context of this movement. We present the results of a reflexive thematic analysis of interviews conducted with participants who completed RP training offered by the British Council to. understand the training's effectiveness and impact. We explore the significance of the training, and of RP in general, and in relation to disability studies and cultural and political activism. We undertake this exploration against a backdrop of interrogating who RP is for and by. The themes we describe are: Committed to Access, Training is Critical, Inviting Bodies to be Bodies, and Imagining Audiences. These themes tell a story of how RP relates to broader access work, the importance of training grounded in and led by disability/difference, the need to consider the relationships between bodies and spaces, and the tensions inherent to billing RP as "for all." We conclude with an exploration of possible modifications, enhancements, or theoretical imaginings that could help RP to become more radically open to difference as it emerges, shifts, and changes.

UCLA microbiologists have found a unique way to compose music – by mapping tones and rhythm to genetic sequences.
This Science Daily article explains:
In the music, individual amino acids are expressed as chords, and similar amino acids are paired. For example, the amino acids tyrosine and phenylalanine are both assigned a G major chord, but they can be distinguished because the notes in the chord are arranged differently. The music has a 20-note range spanning over two octaves, but with just 13 base notes.
The end result is an aural representation of the genetic sequence, which can be used as a teaching tool in molecular biology. The music is converted into MIDI files so that anyone can listen online. You can even submit any genetic sequences you may have lying around the house and have them instantly converted into music.

Application of headspace–mass spectrometry for differentiating sources of olive oil

In the present work we propose the use of headspace-mass spectrometry (HS-MS) for the characterisation of monovarietal olive oils, an issue of interest when the origin of an oil has to be determined. The HS-MS procedure involves the direct introduction of the sample into a vial, headspace generation and automatic injection of the volatiles into a mass spectrometer. The results were compared with those obtained using more conventional approaches, including chromatographic, spectrophotometric and other types of analysis. Linear Discriminant Analysis (LDA) was applied to the data obtained with both analytical methodologies to achieve the differentiation of the three types of samples. The proposed method is faster and cheaper than those usually employed for edible oil analysis and no sample preparation is required. Additionally, the measuring process is simple and the results obtained from chemometric treatment are 100% correct as regards classification and prediction, making it an appropriate method for routine control.

The Importance of Semen Sample Liquefaction and Viscosity for Semen Analysis
In addition to the obvious issues with sample loading in the SQA testing capillary, would concentration readings be higher or lower in a sample which has not fully liquefied?
1. Running a non-liquefied (or viscous) semen sample will most probably result in inaccurate results for the following reasons:
2. The sample is poorly represented. In a fully liquefied sample, sperm cells are evenly spread throughout the semen volume and this makes the sample taken for analysis more representative of the entire ejaculate.
3. Concentration and other semen parameters may vary in both directions in the case of running a viscous sample.
4. Motility may be lower in viscous samples.
According to the WHO 5th manual, each highly viscous or non-liquefied semen sample should be treated to bring it to normal viscosity prior to testing (WHO 5th ed. manual, p. 13-15;)


Safety net
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jump to: navigation, search
This article is about physical safety nets. For the socioeconomic usage, see Social safety net.
A safety net over a roadway to protect cars during overhead cable replacement
A safety net is a net to protect people from injury after falling from heights by limiting the distance they fall, and deflecting to dissipate the impact energy. The term also refers to devices for arresting falling or flying objects for the safety of people beyond or below the net. Safety netting as a safety device was first innovated by Joseph Strauss during the Golden Gate Bridge construction _PHONE_ where Strauss mandated the installation of a moveable net to prevent construction employees from falling to certain death into the unforgiving waters. It saved lives but unfortunately in 1937 due to a platform collapsing onto the net it could not hold the load and the net failed under stress and ten men lost their lives with only two surviving. This prompted the formation of a club called the Half Way to Hell Club.
Often, a safety net for catching fallen workers is known as a "personnel net," while one used to catch falling objects is called a "debris net."
Firefighters once used a device called a Life net which allowed people in burning buildings to jump to safety.
Safety nets can be used in construction, building maintenance, entertainment, or other industries.

It is indeed an unusual form of the 2nd person feminine singular suffix. Rest assured it is an exception, but carries no special meaning. It does however appear elsewhere in scripture, for example Psalms 116:7 and weakly in Kings II 4:3,7. Gesenius 91l considers most similar unusual suffixes of this nature probably scribal error. Although this particular form he notes is similar to the Syriac. It seems possible that it isn't a mistake, but generous poetic licence.

It will look specifically at following transformations: a collapse of traditional Prague-based manufacturing and relocation of labor force, the lack of socially affordable housing, the massive increase in automobile transport to the detriment of public transport, the radical change in the patterns of consumption and leisure activities, and the change in discourse about the nature of the city and its future. In the new neoliberal spirit, the city planning, as any planning, was seen as part of the suspect heritage of state socialist planned economy. The lecture will attempt to look at these and other changes as part of long term transformation that preceded the actual fall of state socialism. It also will attempt to situate those within broader trends in European urban development since the 1970s, thus revisiting the established academic debate of what is actually socialist about socialist cities.

text: [en] The effects of intercropping of wheat cultivars and oilseed rape on the densities of wheat aphid, Sitobion avenae, and their arthropod natural enemies were evaluated. Three winter wheat cultivars with different resistant levels to S. avenae were used: 'KOK¿ (high resistance), 'Xiaobaidongmai¿ (low resistance) and'Hongmanghong¿ (susceptible). The results showed that the densities of S. avenae were significantly higher on the monoculture pattern than on either the 8-2 intercropping pattern (eight rows of wheat with two rows of oilseed rape) or the 8-4 intercropping pattern (eight rows of wheat with four rows of oilseed rape). The mean number of predators and the mummy rates of S. avenae were significantly higher in two intercropping patterns than those in the monoculture pattern. The densities of S. avenae, ladybeetles, and mummy rate of S. avenae were significantly different among different wheat cultivars. The highest densities of S. avenae and ladybeetles were found on wheat cultivar Hongmanghong. The lowest densities of S. avenae associated with high mummy rate of S. avenae were found on wheat cultivar Xiaobaidongmai. The results showed that wheat-oilseed rape intercropping conserved more predators and parasitoids than in wheat monoculture fields, and partial resistance of wheat cultivar Xiaobaidongmai had complementary or even synergistic effects on parasitoid of S. avenae.

Jólan van der Wiel's Gravity Stool defies the forces of nature as it is pulled by a "magnet machine"
Jólan van der Wiel defies gravity
Gerrit Rietveld Academie graduate uses super strength magnet to make uniquely shaped furniture
Dutch designer Jólan van der Wiel has been developing furniture made using a unique combination of magnetic plastic and gravity to create objects that are as strange as they are beautiful. Van der Wiel studied at the Gerrit Rietveld Academie in Amsterdam, an institution renowned for its highly conceptual and experimental approach to teaching and which routinely encourages its students to push the boundaries of design. It was during his time here that he created the process by which his amazing magnetic creations are born. He placed iron shavings and liquid plastic in a bowl below a magnetic block attached to a pulley and lowered it slowly until the magnetic force prompted the mixture below to rise upwards in jagged stalagmite-like formations towards the magnet. These crystalline constructions would then become the legs of his Gravity Stools. The video below, shot by Miranda Stet, poetically demonstrates the process taking place.
"Departing from the idea that everything is influenced by gravitation, a force that has a strongly shaping effect, I intended to manipulate this natural phenomenon by exploiting its own power: magnetism," the designer explains. "The positioning of the magnetic fields in the machine, opposing each other, largely determines the final shape of the Gravity Stool."

The organic appearance and unique formation of each stool is connected to the growth of natural organisms. "The forms and products are characterised by the freakish and organic shapes so typical of nature itself." His innovative approach to design has just won him the prestigious [D3] Contest for young designers at the imm Cologne Fair. Van der Wiel's product was chosen from 689 entries from 44 different countries.

The point of this three piece prototype spinning aluminum impeller heatsink from Sandia National Labs is to get rid of boundary layers by exploiting a fairly obscure fluid dynamic effect first discussed in the 1950's, where by boundary layers are substantially thinned above the surface of accelerating bodies (ie. radial fins on a disk rapidly spinning). In this case, the aluminum cooling fins - the fan impeller - are spinning at 2000RPM. According to Sandia Labs, heat is transferred from the processor to the rotating cooling component above, across a very thin 'air bearing' - essentially a metal surface rotating a fraction of a millimeter over a similarly sized stationary surface.
Orientation Agnostic In the video below you'll see the air bearing heatsink sitting horizontally on a table, yet if you glance at your computer tower you'll know that CPU heatsinks mostly always operate while mounted to a vertical motherboard. The Sandia cooler is orientation agnostic - meaning the air bearing is not affected by gravity and will operate vertically, upside-down or at angle because a compression spring is used to hold the impeller and base together, not gravity.
The complete 48 pg PDF from Sandia National Laboratories researcher Jeff Koplow, titled; "A Fundamentally New Approach to Air-Cooled Heat Exchangers" is available here. The project report 'borrows' one of my photos from a Frostytech reviewwithout crediting it to Frostytech.com (pg.5, figure 1), but this technology is cool so I'll let it slide. ;) Update - received a nice apology regarding the unattributed image and all is good. :)

The Crocus CTSR400C series is a family of magnetic switches designed for sensing a wide range of magnetic fields. The advantages of the CTSR400C series include high magnetic sensitivity, no bias current, low power consumption, flexible supply voltage, small form factor, and low cost.
The Crocus series of magnetic switches is composed of multiple magnetic tunnel junctions (MTJs) made of magnetic thin films. The MTJ cell is constructed of two magnetic layers separated by a thin oxide which serves as a tunnel oxide. One of the two magnetic layers has a fixed magnetic orientation and it is called reference layer. The other magnetic layer, called sensing layer, has flexibility of changing orientation in the presence of magnetic field, leading to the change of the sensor resistance. Thus, the sensor acts as a magnetic switch whereby it shows high resistance when magnetic field is absent and low resistance when magnetic field is present.
Crocus magnetic switches provide high stability as well as highly reliable performance over a wide range of operating temperatures and voltage supply.
- High sensitivity
- High temperature operation
- High frequency performance
- High stability
- Low power
- Switching open/close (off/on)

Thomas's Forgotten Realms
The Dark Maiden
Eilistraee is the daughter of Corellon Larethian and Araushnee the Weaver (who later took the name of Lolth). She is a minor elven goddess and the sister of Vhaeraun. She is the drow goddess of song, dance, swordwork, hunting, moonlight, goodness, and beauty.
Eilistraee foresaw that the dark elves would need a beacon of good within their reach and allowed herself to be exiled with her people (dark elves) after very nearly slaying her own father with a misplaced arrow. Eilistraee swore never to use ranged weaponry again.
During her exile, the Dark Maiden wandered Toril. For centuries, she fought Vhaeraun, thwarting his efforts to gain influence over all the dark elves of the south. Despite many lost battles and setbacks, Eilistraee kept fighting to bring her hope to the drow and lead them back to their rightful place in the light.
In the Year of Wild Magic (1372 DR), the goddess Lolth went into a state of hibernation. Durign this time Eilistraee chose one of her new converts, Halisstra Melarn, to wield the artifact known as the Crescent Blade to kill Lolth before her awakening (in 1373 DR). Halisstra went on a mission to the Demonweb Pits, However, after being defeated at the hand of Quenthel Baenre, Halisstra ultimately decided to betray Eilistraee and The Crescent Blade was left broken, lying in the Demonweb Pits.
Eilistraee sought to recover the lost Crescent Blade; to that purpose, Cavatina Xarann, a Darksong Knight serving the Dark Dancer, went on a mission into the Demonweb Pits, where the sword was seen last. She recovered it almost intact and used it to kill the demigod Selvetarm in the Demonweb Pits.
On the same date Vhaeraun managed to infiltrate Eilistraee's realm and attempted to assassinate her. Eilistraee emerged from the attempt alive but changed: she became a deity known as "the Masked Lady", holding both the Dark Maiden's and the Masked Lord's portfolios and causing both their followers to cooperate, albeit uneasily.
In Flamerule of the Year of the Lost Keep, 1379 DR, the Masked Lady, while inhabiting the body of Qilué Veladorn, was killed by Halisstra Melarn using the Crescent Blade.
Eilistraee managed to return to life during the event known as the Second Sundering in Flamerule, 1489 DR. She and her brother were separate entities again, but after the time spent as the Masked Lady, they reached a reciprocal understanding, and the enmity between them was no more. Both deities have personally let their return be known, manifesting through their avatars to their followers, who enthusiastically are spreading the word.
Since then Eilistraee has been seen dancing and speaking to mortals in many places, especially along the Sword Coast. The citizens of Waterdeep witnessed the Dark Dancer, as she danced in the moonlight, near the walls of the city, up the road to Amphail. This has led many moondancers to the City of Splendors, with the goal of creating a shrine to their goddess within its walls.

A Humanizing Model for Nursing Social Justice Action
The latest featured article from the current issue of ANS is titled "Exercising Nursing Essential and Effective Freedom in Behalf of Social Justice: A Humanizing Model" by Donna J. Perry, PhD, RN; Danny G. Willis, DNS, RN, PMHCNS-BC; Kenneth S. Peterson, PhD, FNP-BC; and Pamela J. Grace, PhD, RN, FAAN. Using powerful personal narratives, the authors provide examples of ways they have broken through barriers, to exercise effective freedom and take specific social justice action within nursing. Dr. Perry provided this description of their work:
It is increasingly clear that health is dependent upon multiple underlying social factors including environmental conditions, economic status, access to education, employment and a peaceful and participatory society. These conditions are distributed unequally within our global community. In this paper we discuss the nursing mandate to act for social justice and the constraints that prevent nursing from realizing this goal. We argue that nursing has been impeded in addressing underlying socio-political issues that impact health because nursing has historically been positioned within an institutionalized medical paradigm. We propose a model of nursing essential and effective freedom based on the philosophy of Bernard Lonergan as a framework for addressing barriers to nursing action for social justice. And we share our personal challenges and strategies for addressing social justice as nurses working in various settings.

Apple, Walnut and Poppy Seed Cake (Flódni)
is a traditional pastry from Hungary, which has been enjoyed for centuries. The origins of the pastry are uncertain, but it is believed to have been brought to Hungary by Ashkenazi Jews who migrated to the country in the late 19th century.
The dish is a variation of a traditional Jewish pastry called "fluden" which is made with similar ingredients such as apples, nuts, and poppy seeds.
The dish quickly became popular among Hungarians and it became an integral part of the country's culinary heritage. It's often enjoyed during special occasions and holidays such as Rosh Hashanah, Hanukkah, and Passover.
In recent years, the dish has been modernized and variations have been created using different types of nuts, fruits, and sweeteners, but the traditional recipe still remains popular and is a beloved dessert among Hungarians.

Big Potential for Horticulture in the Heart of WalesPosted: November 14, 2015
Calon Cymru — the Heart of Wales — suffers from a lack of economic activity and from an exodus of young people and an inflow of retired folk. Calon Cymru Network, a community interest company set up to foster low-impact development in the region, sees horticulture — producing fruit and vegetables — as an essential part of regeneration. Wales produces hardly any fruit or vegetables, but could do so in the corridor of the Heart of Wales railway. There is big potential, as AMBER WHEELER suggests below.
Present population of the corridor is 35,000, with potential to double in 10 years to 70,000.
35,000 people's fruit and vegetable needs (at 5 a day excluding potatoes), and including 35% food waste from farm to fork (a typical level, which should be much lower) = 0.2 tonnes/per person/per year = 7,000 tonnes per year, rising to 14,000 tonnes in 10 years time for a population twice as large.
Achievable yields in Wales = at least 10 tonnes/hectare average for mixed fruit and vegetable cropping.
10 tonnes per hectare/per year from 700 hectares could yield 7,000 tonnes, and from 1,400 hectares, 14,000 tonnes.
Calon Cymru Network is concerned with a 130 km length of the corridor, 4 km wide, containing about 36,400 hectares of undeveloped rural land of all types.
To be able to grow 100% of the corridor's current fruit and veg needs would require 2% of the rural land, rising to 4% if the population doubled. Hardly any land is used for these purposes at present.
Obviously this is a simplification, but the Heart of Wales corridor could support a larger population and produce much more of those people's food needs.
And this is one of Calon Cymru Network's ambitions.

Listening To Young Children: The Mosaic Approach (2nd ed.).
London: National Children's Bureau.
Viewing children as 'experts in their own lives', the Mosaic approach offers a creative framework for listening to young children's perspectives through talking, walking, making and reviewing together. Children's own photographs, tours and maps can be joined to interviews and observing for adults to gain deeper understandings of young children's lives in a range of early childhood settings.
The Mosaic approach has been applied by practitioners throughout the world. This second edition reflects on the authors' original ground-breaking work, with new introductions, updates and examples of how the Mosaic approach has been adapted, and offers case studies that will encourage practitioners to use the framework in their own setting.
Listening to Young Children will be of interest to policy makers, practitioners in nurseries, children's centres, pre-schools and schools and residential settings. It will also be welcomed by early childhood students and other researchers who are engaged in searching for new theoretical, practical and imaginative ways of listening to young children.

unified credit
(redirected from Unified Credits)
Unified Credit
In the United States, a tax credit on estates and large gifts. The unified credit is exceptionally large so that most people will not need to pay federal taxes on their estates and large gifts. For example, the unified credit on an estate is usually around $1 million, meaning that the estate has to be worth more than that in order to be subject to the estate tax.
unified credit
A credit used against federal taxes due on estates and large gifts. Under current law, the unified credit is sufficient to offset taxes on values of approximately $1 million in estates and large gifts. Thus, the combination of estate value and large gifts must exceed $1 million during a person's lifetime before any taxes must be paid to the federal government.

Therefore, the distinction is that the subtraction at item 2 for gift tax is a "tentative tax" (before any offset for unified credit), whereas item 2 of estate tax is the actual amount payable (after all unified credits have been used).
