3. When are we likely to finish? {Time Estimate at Completion}
The project is a call to adventure.
It CAN be a hero's journey.
In the following sessions we'll cover Earned Value Management professional practices in much greater detail. I'll give you practical step by step instruction on applying Earned Value Management in any project large or small.
Properly applied, Earned Value Management will improve your ability to control projects... all by having clear visibility of what you're getting for what your spending.

Earned Value Management
(Alias: EVM, cost/schedule control systems criteria - C/SCSC)
Earned Value Management (EVM) is a project performance measurement technique that provides an accurate comparison of the actual work performed against that planned. It achieves this by placing a baseline value on each deliverable at project commencement and crediting the project with that value when the deliverable is completed. This facilitates early identification of variances from plan allowing management to take corrective action before problems escalate.
The essential elements of the technique are as follows:
 - Establish the baseline plan. In the planning phases of a project a target value is assigned to each scheduled element of work (usually some physical deliverable). This is called the "Planned Value (PV)".
 - Allocate earned value. As the elements of work are completed their original Planned Values are classed as "earned", hence the term "Earned Value (EV)". The cumulative Earned Value across all completed work elements provides an accurate measurement of the value of work performed at any point in time.
 - Measure variances from plan. Project performance can now be measured by comparing Earned Value with what has been spent to perform the work (Actual Cost - AC) and what was scheduled to be accomplished (PV). Refer to Earned Value Variances.
 - Determine the criticality of variances. Earned Value indices provide further insights into the relative magnitude (and criticality) of cost and schedule variances. Refer to Earned Value Indices.
 - Forecast project outcomes. Earned Value metrics can also be used to forecast the outcome of a project. Refer to Earned Value Forecasts.
The EVM technique is used in project management only. EVM metrics assume a project with a fixed set of deliverables conducted over a defined period in time. EVM is therefore not useful in managing continuous business operations.
Earned Value Metrics
Earned Value Variances
Cost Variance (CV)
= Earned Value (EV) - Actual Cost (AC)
> 0 means under budget
< 0 means over budget
Schedule Variance (SV)
= Earned Value (EV) - Planned Value (PV)
> 0 means ahead of schedule
< 0 means behind schedule
Earned Value Indices
Cost Performance Index (CPI)
> 1 means better progress for the money
< 1 means less progress for the money
Schedule Performance Index (SPI)
> 1 means more work performed than scheduled
< 1 means less work performed than scheduled
Project Percent Complete
= (EV/BAC) * 100
Percent of project work complete.
Where BAC = Budget at Completion
To Complete Performance Index (TCPI)
The cost performance index required to complete the project on budget.
Comparing CPI and TCPI at any point in a project gives a unique insight into the likelihood of a project completing on budget. For example if a project is running at a CPI of 0.8 with a TCPI of 1.2 required to complete on budget; such a step change is unlikely without major management intervention.
Earned Value Forecasts
Estimate at completion (EAC)
The estimated total cost at project completion.
Variance at completion (VAC)
The estimated variance between actual total cost and planned total cost at project completion.

If the instructor is crying about the indiscretion of your adolescent, it should be seen that you didn't pick the correct teacher. One hire this comma corrector online to do work at time. Adolescents can never get exhausted and drained with music rehearses in case they get strong motivation from educators and guardians.

Chewy Tuesdays is Underway!
It is a ministry of the Burns Flat Cumberland Presbyterian Church conducted on every Tuesday in June and July to feed children in Burns Flat. This year the ministry has expanded to include Dill City. It is more than a food ministry. It is a chance to tell children that God loves them. Children do not heart that simple message enough.
Among the kid-friendly lunch fare are hot dogs, ham and cheese sandwiches, and the long time favorite—peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. There are some simple sides to go with this meal delivered in a decorated paper bag but among them the most valued is fresh fruit.
Fruit is something that many children simple do not get in the course of the summer. Prices have precluded many families from purchasing grapes and bananas and even apples. Regardless of the main course, each meal always includes fruit.
Ministry members have been contacting families that they know have children that might enjoy the Tuesday lunch but so many just don't know about Chewy Tuesdays. The only requirement to receive the meals is that the parents contact the church or the ministry leader, Don Foust and report any food allergies for any of the children receiving meals. It's just that simple. Income level does not matter. Every child needs to be told that God loves them, so it is important that the children are present to receive the meals.
Ministry members also appreciate a phone call if the children will be out of town on any given Tuesday. If you would like your children to receive these meals and this wonderful reminder of God's love, please contact Don Foust: _PHONE_. If you would like to help support this ministry, you may contact Don or the church at _PHONE_. If you can't participate directly but would like to donate, please make your check out to CPC and put Chewy Tuesdays in the "for" line.
The Cumberland Presbyterian Church is located at 205 State Highway 44 in Burns Flat, Oklahoma. The mailing address is PO Box 8, Burns Flat, Oklahoma 73624. The church motto is God's Love in Action!

Changing priorities in investor decision making
Alison Orr (University of Glasgow)
In 2006 the RICS Education Trust funded a study by Cath Jackson and Alison Orr to explore the ways in which investment decision-makers view comparative property choices. The study recognised that asset selection is undertaken in a complex environment, with multiple trade-offs necessary due to the different investment attributes represented in each property. The results indicated that, at that time, investors' concerns about the sustainability of property were low, ranked as 7th in importance out of 8 attributes. This raised concerns over the degree to which actors within the industry were embracing the sustainability agenda.
This current project seeks to revisit these results, 10 years on, to explore whether priorities/behaviour have changed. The original methods will be replicated – a simulation of complex stock selection choices (using choice-based-conjoint analysis) to reveal investors' purchasing-decision behaviour – with the results subsequently further explored through focus groups to reveal the reasons for their simulated investment choices against their sustainability objectives.
This timely study, seeks to investigate and reveal the degree of accord between what investment decision-makers explicitly state their sustainability strategies to be and how they are implemented, against what their behaviour reveals about how purchasing decisions are made and the implicit judgements within.

Water diversion bypass to divert fresh water from reaching cave
A 200-metre long bypass has been built to divert as much as 13,000 cubic metre/day water from flowing into Tham Luang cave as officials continue to drain water out of the cave.
Royal Irrigation Department chief Thongplaew Kongchan said Wednesday that his officials and those from the Mineral Resources Department, Department of National Parks, Wildlife and Plant Conservation, PTT, Chevron Thailand and villagers joined hands to build the water diversion bypass after it was discovered on Tuesday that there is a creek at the southward end of Tham Luang or Martin Point that flows into the cave.
The 200-metre long water diversion bypass which is expected to be completed today will divert about 13,000 cubic metres of water from flowing into the cave each day and will thus cause water in the cave to recede even if there are rains.
Currently, about 68,000 cubic metres of water are being drained out of the cave each day, making the water level in the cave to drop an average of one centimeter every two hours, said Mr Thongplaew.
As for the 800 rai of rice field which is flooded as a result of the water pumped out of the cave, water pumps have been installed by officials of the Town and City Planning Department to drain water out of the rice field into Ma canal about 30 kilometres away.
The Ma canal merges with Nam Luak river before it flows down into the Mekong River.

Lanhydrock Estate had until recently regrettably few orchards which traditionally had been a fundamental part of the Estate. In 2009 the Estate planted Dewey Damson Orchard in order to start to readdress the balance. The orchard is planted neighbouring an existing long abandoned orchard which was featured in the Lanhydrock Estate map of 1881.
Damson trees of local provenance were selected where possible, also Gages, Grey Plum, Kea Plum and Bullace; the oldest form of Damson found in wild hedgerows. All the trees were selected for their damson-like properties, flavor, tradition and local importance and highly cultivated forms were avoided. All the fruits have different flavours, making the most versatile crop as far as culinary uses are concerned.
To maximize the wildlife value of the orchard, a native hedge has been planted around the boundary. The hedge is predominantly Blackthorn, with Dog Rose, Guelder Rose, Wild Cherry, Wild Plum and Dogwood in lesser proportions. The aim is to harvest the Blackthorn sloes for 'Lanhydrock Estate Sloe Gin'. The other species aid in the establishment of the hedge and provide valuable food source for other fauna.
This includes of course our honey bees which are an essential element to the orchard and dramatically increase pollination rates. A native wildflower meadow has been sown in the orchard increasing the habitat value further. The use of pesticides, fungicides and herbicides is avoided. All of this contributes to the conservation efforts made across the whole Estate.

Purpose: A structured didactic radiation oncology clerkship curriculum for medical students is in use at multiple academic medical centers. Objective evidence supporting this educational approach over the traditional clerkship model is lacking. This study evaluated the curriculum efficacy using an objective knowledge assessment. Methods and Materials: Medical students received the Radiation Oncology Education Collaborative Study Group (ROECSG) curriculum consisting of 3 lectures (Overview of Radiation Oncology, Radiation Biology/Physics, and Practical Aspects of Simulation/Radiation Emergencies) and a radiation oncology treatment-planning workshop. A standardized 20-item multiple choice question (MCQ) knowledge assessment was completed preand post-curriculum and approximately 6 months after receiving the curriculum. Results: One hundred forty-six students at 22 academic medical centers completed the ROECSG curriculum from July to November 2016. One hundred nine students completed preand post-clerkship MCQ knowledge assessments (response rate 74.7%). Twenty-four students reported a prior rotation at a ROECSG institution and were excluded from analysis. Mean assessment scores increased from preto post-curriculum (63.9% vs 80.2%, P <.01). Mean MCQ knowledge subdomain assessment scores all improved post-curriculum (t test, P values <.01). Post-scores for students rotating de novo at ROECSG institutions (n = 30) were higher compared with pre-scores for students with ≥1 prior rotations at non-ROECSG institutions (n = 55) (77.3% vs 68.8%, P =.01), with an effect size of 0.8. Students who completed rotations at ROECSG institutions continued to demonstrate a trend toward improved performance on the objective knowledge assessment at approximately 6 months after curriculum exposure (70.5% vs 65.6%, P =.11). Conclusions: Objective evaluation of a structured didactic curriculum for the radiation oncology clerkship at early and late time points demonstrated significant improvement in radiation oncology knowledge. Students who completed clerkships at ROECSG institutions performed objectively better than students who completed clerkships at non-ROECSG institutions. These results support including a structured didactic curriculum as a standard component of the radiation oncology clerkship.

DP725 | Exchange Rate Bands and Optimal Monetary Accommodation Under a Dirty Float
Publication Date
JEL Code(s)
Programme Area(s)
This paper studies regimes of managed exchange rates for a small open economy with an integrated capital market, rational expectations in financial markets, sluggish nominal wages and prices, and supply shocks that follow a Brownian motion. Each regime can be characterized by the degree to which price shocks are accommodated and the width of the exchange rate band. Special cases of monetary accommodation are a peg, a clean float and a PPP exchange rate rule. First, the optimal degree of monetary accommodation of price shocks is analysed when there is no exchange rate band. Given that the welfare loss is a weighted sum of the asymptotic variances of output and of consumer prices, monetary accommodation is particularly strong when the authorities care relatively more about full employment than price stability. More flexible labour markets induce right-wing governments to move towards a cleaner float and left-wing governments towards a PPP exchange rate rule. Second, the effects of exchange rate bands and the accompanying inframarginal interventions are examined when allowance is made for intramarginal interventions as well. Such a framework can, in contrast to the pioneering Krugman analysis, explain the observed hump-shaped unconditional density functions of EMS exchange rates.

The performance of a pump turbine in pump mode is of great importance to a pumped storage power plant. In order to obtain the pump characteristics of a pump turbine, 3D steady simulations were carried out by solving rans using different two-equation turbulence models. Compared with the experimental data, SST k-ω turbulence model was chosen to simulate external characteristics curves under 32mm, 22mm and 18mm guide vanes openings. The results show a good agreement with the experimental data, especially near the best efficiency point. Finally, the detailed analysis was conducted within vaned distributor for these three guide vanes openings. The variation of flow field, pressure filed, energy characteristic and loss with the discharge and guide vanes opening were obtained through the analysis. This research could provide a basic understanding on pump characteristics of a pump turbine for designer.

Likelihood ratios are increasingly being adopted to convey expert evaluative opinions to courts. In the absence of appropriate databases, many of these likelihood ratios will include verbal rather than numerical estimates of the support offered by the analysis. However evidence suggests that verbal formulations of uncertainty are a less effective form of communication than equivalent numerical formulations. Moreover, when evidence strength is low a misinterpretation of the valence of the evidence - a "weak evidence effect" - has been found. We report the results of an experiment involving N=404 (student and online) participants who read a brief summary of a burglary trial containing expert testimony. The expert evidence was varied across conditions in terms of evidence strength (low or high) and presentation method (numerical, verbal, table or visual scale). Results suggest that of these presentation methods, numerical expressions produce belief-change and implicit likelihood ratios which were most commensurate with those intended by the expert and most resistant to the weak evidence effect. These findings raise questions about the extent to which low strength verbal evaluative opinions can be effectively communicated to decision makers at trial.
Keywords: Communicating uncertainty; Evidence interpretation; Expert evaluative opinions; Likelihood ratios.

Video Modeling: Combining Dynamic Model Simulations with Traditional Video Analysis Documents
The Tracker video analysis program allows users to overlay simple dynamic particle models on a video clip. In a typical video modeling experiment students capture and open a digital video file, calibrate the scale, and define appropriate coordinate axes just as for traditional video analysis. But instead of tracking objects with the mouse, students define theoretical force expressions and initial conditions for a dynamic model simulation that synchronizes with and draws itself on the video. The behavior of the model is thus compared directly with that of the real-world motion. Tracker uses the Open Source Physics code library so sophisticated models are possible. Video modeling offers advantages over both traditional video analysis and simulation-only modeling. This paper includes video modeling experiments produced by students in an Introductory Mechanics course.

Re: what's the meaning of $& in clearmake

Why are you asking this question in the GNU make list? Rather the wrong
place for this question.
I've checked the ClearCase man pages for makefile_gnu and makefile_ccase
and come up blank. I've also checked the gnu make docs, and nothing
references this construct anywhere. Judging by it's position, it either
becomes a second colon under certain conditions or it's supposed to map to
another filename.
So, does the makefile have multiple lines that start (exactly)
"$(ARBORBIN)/$(MODULE):$&"?
What do you see for the targets in question if you run clearmake -d or
clearmake -dp and watch the output?
Since you're asking this question, it is a given that this is an
"inherited" makefile. So, it may have bene around for a while... So, this
could be a leftover artifact from a much older make, and since it appears
in my quick check to become an empty string, it was probably left in
because it *appeared* harmless. You should be able to verify this by
either looking at the make output (to determine what it is) or removing
all the "$&"'s from the makefile and seeing what breaks. (for this latter
option, I would recommend using a fresh view to make sure you build using
a clean slate.

Forrest Kerr Project
The Forrest Kerr Project is a 195 megawatt hydroelectric run-of-river project under construction by AltaGas Ltd. in Tahltan territory. It is located on the Iskut River, close to where it meets Forrest Kerr Creek, approximately 140 km southwest of Iskut. It will divert a portion of the Iskut River to generate electricity then return the water to the river further downstream. Run-of-river projects use natural water flows and gravity to generate electricity. They are sustainable and clean, and generally have a lower environmental impact than conventional energy sources.

This gif set is an ad campaign concept for Mrs. Meyers Clean Day. The assignment was to create something for a company based off of one word: sustainability. This set is a collaboration with Alexa Finkelstein and Michelle London. We chose to not let the gifs scream Mrs. Meyers, but we kept their product color palette intact and chose to focus on the environment through their products. The top left (by Bailey Kirshner) conveys the natural ingredients used in their hand soap: flowers, from Mrs. Meyers garden. The top middle (by Bailey Kirshner) represents their laundry detergent. The top right (by Michelle London) represents Mrs. Meyers taking from the environment, and giving back to it. The bottom left (by Alexa Finkelstein) represents their dish soap, and how the ingredients used does not harm our planet. The bottom middle (by Bailey Kirshner) represents Meyer's multipurpose cleaner, and how their products and the production of them has no carbon footprint. The bottom right (by Alexa Finkelstein) represents their candle line, and this is illustrated through a flickering leaf in the wind.

Viewing SPARQLed Data in a Google Spreadsheet
This is a stub post as much as anything to help me keep tabs on a technique I've not had any time to properly play with, let alone document: consuming Linked Data in a Google spreadsheet.
First up – why might this be useful? In short, I think that many people who might want to make use of data are probably comfortable with spreadsheets but not with code, so giving them access to SPARQL and RDF is not necessarily useful.
So whilst the recipe shown here is a hacky one, at least it opens up the playground a little to explore what the issues might be – and what things might be facilitated by – providing fluid, live data routes from RDF triple stores into spreadsheets.
So here's what I'm aiming for – some data from the education datastore in a spreadsheet:
And how did it get there? Via a CSV import using the =importData formula.
And where did the CSV come from? The sparqlproxy webservice:
As well as giving CSV output, the serivce can also gnerate HTML and a variety of JSON formats, including the MIT Simile and Googl Viz API formats (which means it's easy to just plug other data into a wide variety of visualisation formats.
To get the data into a Google spreadsheet, simply copy the CSV URI into an =importData("CSV_URI_HERE") formula in a spreadsheet cell.
The sparqlproxy service can also pull in and transform queries that have been posted on the web:
So for example, in the above case the query at looks like:
What this means is that someone else can write complex queries and mortals can then access the data and display it however they want. (What I'd really like to see is a social site that supports the sharing of endpoint/query pairs for particular queries (I could probably even hack something to do this using delicious?) ;-)
Once the data is in the spreadsheet, it can be played with in the normal way of course. So for example, I can query the spreadsheet using my old prototype Guardian datastore explorer:
In the above example, the route is then:
1) a sparql query onto is run through
2) the sparqlproxy service to produce a CSV output that is
3) pulled into a Google spreadsheet using an =importData() formula, and in turn
4) queried using my Google Datastore explorer using the Google visualisation API query language and then
5) rendered in a Google Visualisation table widget.
Lurvely… :-)

Just so you know: Canned sardines are kosher.
This judgment would appear to be definitive, based on DNA evidence. Genetic testing by a parasitologist at the American Museum of Natural History has confirmed that the recent discovery of small worms in canned sardines does not render them treyf, or unkosher. It may render them unappetizing, but that judgment is up to the consumer (more on that later).
The museum got involved last March when rabbis from the Orthodox Union, which certifies as kosher hundreds of thousands of products across the world, sought scientific help in resolving a question that arose when they began finding the worms, or nematodes, in cans of sardines.
Talmudic debates can turn on fine distinctions, but this was relatively straightforward. The presence of worms could have been a sign that, during the preparation of the canned sardines, muscle from the fish had been improperly handled and allowed to mix with intestinal contents of the sardines, rendering them unkosher.
The issue was important because it "could have led to sardines losing certification as kosher," said Dr. Mark Siddall, a curator and professor in the invertebrate department of the museum, who conducted the testing. Many consumers, including non-Jews, look for the certification label as a sign of quality assurance in food preparation.
The rabbis brought their samples of sardina pilchardus — the Mediterranean sardine — to the museum, where Dr. Siddall conducted so-called "DNA bar-coding" to analyze the species of the worms. Their DNA was isolated and two variants of the cytochrome oxidase gene — which is different for every animal species, as unique as a fingerprint, Dr. Siddall said — revealed that the type of worms in the samples reside only in the flesh of sardines. "This meant that there was no evidence that the intestines and the flesh had been commingled," Dr. Siddall said.
The Orthodox Union also discovered evidence of worms in cans of orange capelin roe, and Dr. Siddall's testing confirmed that the worms, as well, were not intestine-dwellers. The analysis of Dr. Siddall and his colleagues has been published in The Journal of Parasitology, and the union has formally ruled that both the sardines, and the capelin roe, are kosher. (The entire paper can be read below.)
In 2004, a similar Talmudic tempest involved a tiny crustacean known as a copepod, which was discovered swimming in New York City's tap water, spurring debate among the observant about whether it rendered city water unkosher. Many contended that the crustacean was a distant relative of shrimp and lobster, shellfish that cannot be consumed because they lack fins and scales. The Orthodox Union recommended that city water be filtered before using it for drinking and cooking. That prompted restaurants to install filters, some costing more than $1,000, to remove the interlopers.
As for worms in sardines or in any fish, Article 81 of the New York City Department of Health Code has long required that "aquatic animals, fish or molluscan shellfish" be cooked, rendering such parasites harmless — unless customers assume some risk by asking for raw fish, as in sushi. The best sushi masters constantly examine the fish for evidence of parasites.
"The notion that there are worms in fish flesh is not new," Dr. Siddall said. "As long as they're cooked, or frozen first, they're perfectly safe."
Yes, but if the sardines are both safe and kosher, are the worms themselves — which are barely visible and look like thin whitish threads — disgusting?
"It is up to the individual's aesthetic as to whether that is 'yucky,' " Dr. Siddall said. "I've eaten worse. Curdled goose blood. Rhino beetle larvae. Both yummy. But that's another story."

Fort Lewis College Teacher Education Licensure Program
Fort Lewis College offers Colorado teaching licensure programs in several areas under the direction of its Department of Teacher Education (TED). Undergraduate and transfer students admitted to Fort Lewis College choose the approved major, and its teaching option, that corresponds to the chosen licensure program as shown below.
Licensure Program/Approved Major:
- Early Childhood Education Licensure (Birth to 3rd grade)
- Elementary Education Licensure (grades K-6)
- Secondary History - Social Studies Licensure (grades 7-12)
- Secondary English Licensure (grades 7-12)
- Secondary Mathematics Licensure (grades 7-12)
- Secondary Science Licensure (grades 7-12)
- Secondary Theatre (grades 7-12)
- Art Licensure (grades K-12)
- Music Licensure (grades K-12)
- Physical Education Licensure (grades K-12)
- Spanish Licensure (grades K-12)
The curriculum for all programs is composed of three parts: Courses in the Liberal Arts Core, courses in the specific content area, and education courses. Students can find the specific curriculum for their intended program above by choosing the link to their licensure program. In many cases, transfer students will have completed a number of courses in the Liberal Arts Core and in their content area. Because of the nature of FLC education courses, few education courses beyond the introductory level taken elsewhere are accepted as equivalents. All state transfer agreements are honored.
Transferring Credits into the Chosen Licensure Program:
When transfer students are admitted to Fort Lewis College, the Registrar's Office will evaluate their transcripts to determine transferred courses that are equivalent to FLC's courses. After their initial meeting with an FLC advisor to schedule courses for the next term, transfer students are strongly encouraged to schedule a meeting with the Director of Teacher Education by calling Administrative Assistant Michelle Celeste at _PHONE_. This important meeting serves several purposes: to acquaint the transfer student with the policies and processes for becoming a licensed teacher through the FLC program, to review the student's program of choice to determine courses already completed in it, and to set a tentative plan of action for completing the program. In some cases, the Director of Teacher Education may suggest changes to the student's schedule for the upcoming term.
Additional Endorsement Options:
Students in all licensure programs may seek an add-on licensure endorsement in Culturally and Linguistically Diverse Education (often referred to as English as a Second Language). Since this add-on licensure program entails additional coursework, students should expect that the time needed to complete both the primary licensure program and an add-on will exceed four years.
Please see CLD Endorsement to view needed coursework.
For more information please contact:
It is also possible for students in the Elementary Education program to add the Early Childhood Education licensure without additional coursework. Students interested in this option should speak with their advisor or with the Director of Teacher Education.
Admission to the Program: Once enrolled in the major's teaching option, transfer students work toward meeting requirements for admission to the Teacher Education Licensure Program. Many transfer students meet these admission requirements by the conclusion of their first term at FLC. Students must be admitted to the program in order to advance to any 400 level education course.
Admission to Student Teaching:
Students admitted to the program must subsequently meet requirements for admission to student teaching by the term preceding their intended student teaching term. Student teaching out of the Durango area is allowed.
Upon successful completion of student teaching and all other program requirements, students are recommended to the Colorado Department of Education for their Colorado teaching licensure. Students may be hired out of state with their Colorado licensure but must meet licensure requirements of the other state within a specified time (one or two years is the norm). Licensure requirements vary by state, but most commonly, a state may require a different test than required by Colorado.

Individual differences |
Methods | Statistics | Clinical | Educational | Industrial | Professional items | World psychology |
Fading is a technique applied in behavior therapy, particularly behavior modification, as well as skill training settings, where an initial prompting to perform an action is gradually withdrawn until the need for it fades away.
The overall goal is for an individual to eventually not need prompts. As an individual gains mastery of a skill at a particular prompt level, the prompt is faded to a less intrusive prompt. This ensures that the individual does not become overly dependent on a particular prompt when learning a new behaviour or skill.
This approach built on studies in operant conditioning in which a new stimulus was presented alongside an existing one to which a response had been learnt. The old stimulus was gradually faded out, by a process of stimulus attenuation, its frequency or intensity reduced, and it was shown that this allowed the new stimulus to gain control of the response.


How to ensure family businesses remain afloat after death of founders
By Mworia Kaibung'a | May 12th 2021
Kenyan family businesses employ over 60 per cent of the workforce and contribute over 50 per cent of GDP. Moreover, family businesses employ a sizeable population. Owing to this, stakeholders including the government, founders, employees and others should strive to ensure that these businesses transition seamlessly from one generation to another.
It has been established that only 30 per cent of all family businesses sustain good performance in the second generation, 12 per cent to third generation and a paltry 3 per cent get to fourth generation, leading to poor inter-generational transition. Death of these businesses is, obviously, against the will of the founders who would have wished they exist infinitely. In the recent past, poor performance in family businesses has been reported in Kenya particularly among the SMEs. Tuskys, a retail chain that is in its second generation is a good example.
Knowledge Transfer strategy has introduced a new way of sharing resources and experiences. It has created a framework of concrete preserve of tacit and explicit knowledge that emphasises the value of ideas and experiences. Business founders and experienced managers must cultivate the culture of sharing knowledge or create a repository for continuity of business.
A key issue to addressing performance challenges in family-owned businesses is knowledge transfer. Understanding the nuances of family businesses is vital to their performance. Since the founders are the brains behind these businesses, they automatically become the vision carriers. Subsequently, the founder brings in employees, sons, daughters and other family members to help in running the business as it grows.
Dissemination of knowledge by founders to these other stakeholders ensures smooth running of the business in current and subsequent generations. The knowledge aspect is diverse; from where to get raw materials, where to sell products and credit partners, etc. Lone understanding of such aspects may be counterproductive to the business especially if the founder/vision carrier dies or is incapacitated. Multiple employees understanding different aspects of the family business is key to its survival.
The growing importance that knowledge has acquired suggests the need to think about how organisations process their knowledge bases; how they create and develop new knowledge, share and transmit it. Kenyan family-owned businesses should endeavour to ensure knowledge is well disseminated to ensure flawless transition. It's imperative for would-be successors to understand the nuances of the businesses before it's too late.
A good case study is Apple Inc. where Steve Jobs by design prepared Tom Cook to take over the business. Today, Apple is performing better than during its first generation period.
Other notable cases include the Ndegwa family businesses, the Kenyattas, the Mulleys, Bidco, Sarit Centre and Naivas. The turbulence that has hit family businesses such as Tuskys, the Michukis, Karumes and Kirimas after the exit of the founders could be attributed to failure to acquire businesses knowledge, among other reasons.
Family businesses should have structured knowledge transfer strategy such as training sessions, codification, personalisation and mentorship. Moreover, they should cultivate a culture of organisational learning.

Tignon Laws Forced Black Women To Cover Their Hair
historical landmarks | July 25, 2020

Black women often face discrimination and hardship on account of their "distracting" hair, and it turns out it's been happening since their earliest days in the U.S. While today, black hair is considered as fashionable as it is "unprofessional," there was a time when lawmakers forced black women to literally keep their hair under wraps.

Down In New Orleans
New Orleans in the 1700s was a wildly diverse place, with settlers from France and Spain mingling with the Creole population as well as people of African and Caribbean descent. Every group brought the fashion of their culture with them, from the elaborate baroque dresses of France to the intricate braids, beads, and gems with which black women from all regions adorned their hair. This diversity didn't necessarily lead to equality, however. Just because many black Louisianans had earned enough money to buy their freedom didn't mean the balance of power didn't shift disproportionately toward white settlers, and white women—whose hair was usually ill-suited to such fanciful displays—weren't happy about being outshined by their black neighbors in that department.

An Appeal To The Governor
Eventually, the white women of Louisiana were so fed up with their beautiful black neighbors that they petitioned the governor to legally enforce their plainness, insisting that these evil "exotic" women were intentionally scheming to tempt white women's husbands away from them with their advanced cosmetology skills. That may not seem like a legal problem, but Governor Esteban Rodriguez Miro, committed to taking (some of) his people's demands seriously, agreed to take action. The resulting legislature became known as the Tignon Laws.
A tignon was meant to hide the wearer's hair. (The Louisiana Library Network/Wikimedia Commons)
The Tignon Laws
In 1786, Governor Esteban Rodriguez Miro enacted a law requiring black women in New Orleans to wear a tignon, a type of headdress or scarf, that completely concealed their hair. The law's purpose was twofold: It supposedly prevented black women from enticing white men with their hair, but it also served as a social indicator. Light-skinned black women who dressed extravagantly were often mistaken for white European women, and they couldn't have that.
Tignon Laws lasted until the early 1800s. (Yale Center for British Art/Wikimedia Commons)
A Tignon Fashion Statement
Long accustomed to making the best of a bad situation, the African, Caribbean, and Creole women of Louisiana turned the oppressive Tignon Laws into an opportunity to further display their cultural pride. They crafted their tignons out of colorful, luxurious fabrics and added jewels, ribbons, and flowers to turn the headdresses into bold statement pieces.
Some women still wear tignons today. (Tosha Noakes/Pexels)
The Decline And Rebirth Of Tignons
By the early 1800s, the Louisiana Tignon Laws were no longer enforced, and black women were more than ready to cast off their oppressive accessories. A century and a half later, however, tignons have experienced a rebirth. The tignons of today—available in a variety of styles, fabrics, and patterns—can be the crowning jewel of an elegant outfit.

- How many kbps is 3g?
What is the maximum speed of 5g?
The core technology has a maximum speed of tens of Gbit/s (gigabits per second).
In testing, the transfer speeds for the "5G" network sent data at 1.056 Gbit/s to a distance of up to 2 kilometers with the use of an 8*8 MIMO..
Is 1000 kbps fast?
One megabit is equal to 1,024 kilobits. This conversion means 1.0 Mbps is more than 1,000 times faster than 1.0 kilobits per second (Kbps). High-speed Internet connection known as broadband (broad bandwidth) is defined by download speeds of at least 768 Kbps and upload speeds of at least 200 Kbps.
How many Mbps is 128 Kbps?
DSL, or Digital Subscriber Line, is a step above this. Its speeds can range from approximately 128 Kbps to 9 megabits per second (Mbps). Cable Internet provides speeds up to approximately 30 Mbps, although the speeds are not always consistent.
Is 4g and 4g LTE the same?
LTE, sometimes known as 4G LTE, is a type of 4G technology. Short for "Long Term Evolution", it's slower than "true" 4G, but significantly faster than 3G, which originally had data rates measured in kilobits per second, rather than megabits per second.
How many kbps is 2g?
With General Packet Radio Service (GPRS), 2G offers a theoretical maximum transfer speed of 40 kbit/s. With EDGE (Enhanced Data Rates for GSM Evolution), there is a theoretical maximum transfer speed of 384 kbit/s.
Is 128 kbps bad?
128 kbps is not fast, but over good carrier technology, it's serviceable for very light use. You wouldn't stream video over it, but web browsing, maps, and so forth would remain usable, if slow. You certainly don't want anything happening in the background, so disable automatic updates on all your devices first.
Is 500 kbps bad?
What is considered "slow" Internet? … While satellite Internet can provide speeds of approximately 500 Kbps – much higher than dial-up – it's still not considered fast Internet. It could take minutes to simply load a single webpage.
Is Kbps better than Mbps?
One megabit is equal to 1,024 kilobits. This conversion means 1.0 Mbps is more than 1,000 times faster than 1.0 kilobits per second (Kbps).
How many kbps is LTE?
Verizon 4G LTE wireless broadband is 10 times faster than 3G — able to handle download speeds between 5 and 12 Mbps (Megabits per second) and upload speeds between 2 and 5 Mbps, with peak download speeds approaching 50 Mbps. Cable speeds vary, but 4 to 12 Mbps are common.
Is 4g faster than LTE?
In laymans terms, the difference between 4G and LTE is that 4G is faster than LTE. The reason for this is that 4G meets the technical standards designated for it whereas LTE data transfer speed standard is merely a stopgap measure standard devised until actual 4G speed is realized.
Is 4g safe for health?
Numerous controlled scientific studies of 2G, 3G and 4G technologies have shown that stress, sperm and testicular damage, neuropsychiatric effects, including changes to electrical activity in the brain, cellular DNA damage and calcium overload can all occur in humans as a result of exposure to EMFs.
Why is my 4g so slow?
If you've figured out whether your smartphone can handle 4G yet the internet is still so slow, there are a few reasons why this happens: 1) Too much in your cache. Apps and services slowly build up caches that over time can eat up precious system resources. … This should at least make your apps run smoother upon booting.
How fast is 4g LTE?
Verizon 4G LTE wireless broadband is 10 times faster than 3G — able to handle download speeds between 5 and 12 Mbps (Megabits per second) and upload speeds between 2 and 5 Mbps, with peak download speeds approaching 50 Mbps.
Is 128 kbps fast enough for YouTube?
With YouTube's recommended 128 kbps of audio, that would translate into a speed between around 760 kbps and 2.6 Mbps. For 720p video at 30 frames per second, the range is 1,500 to 4,000 kbps.
How many kbps is a good speed?
150 kbps is TERRIBLY BAD (for download speed). In 2019 – You should be running at least 1 Mbps, and most home users in the developed world should be running download speeds between 5 Mbps and 100Mbps (some higher). In remote areas and in the developing world speeds are much lower, or even non-existent.
Is WIFI faster than 5g?
Opensignal's latest analysis demonstrates that 5G greatly improves the real-world speeds that users experience. And, even more significantly, 5G offers faster average download speeds than Wifi in seven out of eight leading 5G countries.
Is 300 Mbps fast?
How fast is 300 Mbps internet? 300 Mbps internet delivers 37.5 MB/second download speeds. To put this into perspective, at this speed you can download a 255 MB iTunes update in about 7 seconds, and with fiber-optic internet you get upload speeds to match.
How many kbps is 3g?
To be qualified as 3G, a network's peak transfer rates only need to reach 200 kilobits per second (Kbps). If this sounds slow, it is — the standard was established in 2003. Many 3G networks now offer speeds ten or twelve times that fast.

The Lost Language Behind Project Unity
In our up-and-coming collection named Project Unity, we incorporate symbols from an ancient system of communications called Nsibidi, originating in southeastern Nigeria and southwestern Cameroon. The ideographic alphabet represented abstract concepts or actions, which enabled communication among various languages. Nsibidi consists of close to a thousand symbols that depict words like 'mirror', 'voyage', 'leopard skin', and 'unity', which we focus on in the new collection.Due to the presence of western education, Nsibidi, which was once looked at as a sacred language, is widely mysterious to modern Igbos and Ekoi. Though the use of the written language has reduced a considerable amount, artists like Obinna Igboobinna Eze has used it in his art to preserve the history of Nigeria before the arrival of Europeans. The major Marvel movie, Black Panther, also paid tribute to its African roots by using Nsibidi as an inspiration for the written Wakandan language seen on-screen. At Femi Aina New York, we strive to continue the importance of sharing the history of Nigeria through our clothing to spread awareness of our heritage and the beauty that lies within it.


Today we are excited to announce that the EPA has joined the Physiotherapy and Refugees Education Project (PREP) as associate partner. PREP is an Erasmus+ project led by the Western University of Applied Sciences in Bergen, Norway. It seeks to address the mismatch between the competence of physiotherapists and the complex rehabilitation needs of a growing population of refugees and migrants in Europe. PREP is an incredibly important project kickstarting the further development of our profession in a particular important direction.
PREP is already comprised of an incredible group of partners, associate partners and collaboration projects including the Karolinska Institutet, HAN University of Applied Sciences, Trinity College Dublin, Physiopedia and many more, so we couldn't be more honoured to join this outstanding team.
(Excerpt from PREP website) Refugees and migrants have complex health needs that are a result of a cumulative trauma experienced in their home countries, during their dangerous journey, or in the period of adjustment in their new country. This diverse and non-homogenous group also comes with resources in terms of resilience that we need to learn from and use in the healing process. However, they also face barriers accessing healthcare services because of language and cultural differences, differences in socio-economic status, and a lack of familiarity with local environment and healthcare system. There is a gap in competence of health care professionals, including physiotherapists to meet their complex needs, many of which can be addressed by physiotherapy. There is a clear lack of definition regarding physiotherapists competencies needed to serve refugees and migrants, and a lack of common strategies to address challenges of migration which has negative implications for health.
A key aim of PREP will therefore be the development of online open-access courses for physiotherapists seeking to expand their knowledge and skills in the incredibly important and, in fact, urgent field. Because climate change and environmental degradation are major contributors to climate migration and this is expected to worsen over the coming years, knowing how to meet the needs of these populations and understanding the difficulties they are experiencing will also be a core theme from an environmental physiotherapy perspective. We are honoured to be able to contribute to the development of course content related to climate migration and future directions for physiotherapy.
Please be sure to visit the PREP website and follow and share on twitter to stay informed about this project and related developments.

Environmental Aspects Review : A Case Study of Two Sawmills in Etsako-West, Edo State Nigeria
The forests are essential for healthy environment. Trees which are part of theforest help to stabilize the forest soil, improve soil fertility, reduce the velocity ofwind, protect watershed and reduce the amount of carbon released into theatmosphere. Many industries use trees as raw materials and in most cases impactthe environment, but there are great differences in the impact they make. There isa need therefore to continually evaluate the operational activities of theseindustries to ensure that the environment is protected. The use of environmentalmanagement systems like ISO and EMAS standards has helped in the evaluationof organizations and industries.In this thesis, two sawmills Iretunde and Irepodun in Etsako-West localgovernment area Edo state Nigeria were evaluated with the aim to determine theiroperational activities and how the environment is being affected by them. Subaimswere to determine the most significant environmental aspects of the sawmilland their organizational structure. In actualizing the aim of this thesis, literaturereview, site investigation as well as oral interview of the staff and management ofboth sawmills were conducted. In the evaluation of the environmental aspects, thedetailed method of environmental impact evaluation by Ammenberg (2004) wasused were each environmental aspect that was weighted against nine identifiedcriteria.The result obtained from the environmental aspect evaluation of both sawmillsshows that the use of raw materials and emissions to air are the most significantenvironmental aspects. In conclusion, it was observed that the both sawmills arewell structured and carry out their operational activities effectively. Neither ofthem has registered under any environmental management system but there is aneed for them to do so in order to help check their operational activities in order toreduce their environmental impact.

text: An important consequence of recent dynamical theories of tunneling is that, because of large curvature of the reaction path in a typical H, H+, or H- transfer, light-isotope transfer occurs in more extended nuclear frameworks than heavy-isotope transfer. This is incorporated here into a modified version of the Marcus phenomenological theory relating reaction rate constants to equilibrium constants. It leads to Brønsted slope parameters that depend on the isotope transferred. The new theoretical formulation is tested on experimental data for hydride and deuteride transfer between nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide analogues and on computational data for hydrogen-atom and deuterium-atom transfer between pseudoatoms. The experimental kinetic isotope effects (KIE's) are shown to vary with reaction equilibrium constant (Kij) in a way that is quantitatively consistent with the theory. The critical configurations generated by the calculations vary from the saddle point and from each other in the way anticipated by theory. However, the calculated KIE values are a rather scattered function of Kij because the tunneling corrections are large and somewhat system specific. Overall, we believe that this combination of experimental and calculated results provides considerable support for the idea that large-curvature tunneling needs to be considered in hydrogen-transfer reactions.

A report on the world radio conference held in Geneva, Switzerland, during the last four months of 1959 is presented. The Conference was held under auspices of the International Telecommunication Union, the specialized agency of the United Nations which deals with radio and other telecommunication matters at international level. The organization of the conference is described, to show the mechanism by which engineers and telecommunication administrators from many nations work together to produce what amounts to international legislation in a highly technical field. The four principal work areas of the conference were: Radio spectrum allocations; frequency management techniques; definition of technical terms and establishment of technical standards; and operating regulations in the aeronautical and maritime radio services. Major decisions of interest to engineers in the United States are summarized, including new terminology which engineers will be expected to learn gradually in the years ahead.

The word "converse", as it is practically used in mathematics text if not necessarily by dictionaries of logic, is somewhat fuzzy, and the meaning of "the converse of theorem such-and-such" sometimes has to be deduced from the context.
As long as we only have atomic claims $P$ and $Q$ with the implication $P\to Q$, then without doubt the converse of $P\to Q$ is $Q\to P$. But when there are more than one premise, some room for interpretation opens up.
The problem is that in the usual style of written mathematics, the two theorems
Theorem 1. If $a$ and $b$ are coprime and $a\mid c$ and $b\mid c$, then $ab\mid c$.
Theorem 2. Assume that $a$ and $b$ are coprime. If $a\mid c$ and $b\mid c$, then $ab\mid c$.
mean exactly the same thing -- usually we're not even trained to notice the difference between them as we read a mathematical text. However, according to a strict logical interpretation of "converse" these two clearly equivalent theorems would have different converses:
Converse 1. If $ab\mid c$, then $a$ and $b$ are coprime and $a\mid c$ and $b \mid c$.
Converse 2. Assume that $a$ and $b$ are coprime. If $ab\mid c$, then $a\mid c$ and $b\mid c$.
In practice, however, most authors don't care about this, and just speak of "the converse" with the meaning "the possible interpretation of converse that makes sense in the context". The reader is supposed to figure out for himself which of the premises look like something that could conceivably have a reasonable chance of being consequences of the original conclusion, given the other premises.
In the language of formal logic, another way to express the problem is that ordinary mathematical reasoning (presented in natural language) doesn't distinguish consistently between
- $P_1 \vdash P_2\to Q$
- $P_1 \to (P_2 \to Q)$
- $(P_1 \land P_2) \to Q$
These are generally just different formal representations of the same concept inside the working mathematician's mind, and it can take some training and experience with formal logic to even appreciate that a useful distinction between them can be made. Therefore a notion of "converse" that assigns crucial meaning to these essentially syntactic differences will have a hard time agreeing with how the word is used in mathematical writing that is not concerned with logic in particular.


Abstract
Three closely associated travertine deposits that have been precipitated from hot springs occur near Wellsville, Colorado. Field relations suggest that hot waters dissolved carbonate from underlying Ordovician dolomites and migrated to the surface along faults that border each deposit. Conformity of the deposits to present topography plus several nearby tepid springs date the deposits as very recent. A post-Sangamonian(?) age is indicated by their occurrence on river gravels of Sangamonian(?) age.

Lyman House Memorial Museum
Rev. D. B. Lyman House
|Location||276 Haili St., Hilo, Hawaii|
|Area||0.7 acres (0.28 ha)|
|Architectural style||"Cape Cod"|
|NRHP reference No.||78001012|
|Added to NRHP||March 24, 1978|
The Lyman House Memorial Museum, also known as the Lyman Museum and Lyman House, is a Hilo, Hawaii-based natural history museum founded in 1931 in the Lyman family mission house, originally built in 1838. The main collections were moved to an adjacent modern building in the 1960s, while the house is open for tours as the island's oldest surviving wood-framed building.
Reverend David Belden Lyman and his wife, Sarah Joiner Lyman, arrived in 1832, missionaries from the American Board of Commissioners for Foreign Missions. It was one of the first houses on the island to be built in the style of their native New England, using native koa and ohia woods. Guests included Mark Twain and Isabella Bird. In 1854 - 1859 the new Haili Church was built across the street, replacing the thatched structures that served previously for the congregation.
Almost a century after the missionaries' arrival, a museum was founded in 1931 by their descendants.
In the late 1960s, architect Vladimir Ossipoff designed and built a Museum building adjacent to the mission house. Upon its completion, the Museum moved there and expanded its exhibits. It has extensive displays on Hawaiian culture and is renowned for its collection of shells and minerals, including a specimen of orlymanite, named for Orlando Hammond Lyman (1903–1986), the museum's founder and great grandson of David and Sarah Lyman. The Museum has been an affiliate of the Smithsonian Institution since 2002.

I struggle for a long while with solving this problem, but can't seem to find a solution. I'm not really a mathematical genius.
On asks to calculate the quickest route from A to B (by foot).
There are 2 ways to get there:
1. From A to X at 5 km/h and then from X to B at 2 km/h -> this route takes 16 minutes 59 seconds
2. From A to Y at 5 km/h and then from Y to B at 2 km/h -> this route takes 19 minutes 25 seconds
The aim is to find out what the distance is
From A -> X and X -> B
From A -> Y and Y -> B
There are a few catches.
- The angle between A-> X and A-> Y is 95°, but I do not know whether this is important.
- The angles between A-> X and X-> B and also A-> Y and Y-> B are not necessarily 90 °
Thus Pythagoras is in my eyes not suitable for solving this problem.
How should I deal with this problem? Preferably as understandable as possible please.

IBM Forms Watson Healthcare Advisory Board
ARMONK, N.Y. - 01 Mar 2012: IBM today announced the formation of a new Watson Healthcare Advisory Board. The board members include medical leaders with expertise in areas such as primary care, oncology, biomedical informatics and medical innovation. They will provide IBM with insights on health care issues that could be positively impacted by Watson technology adoption.
The advisory board will specifically focus on medical industry trends, clinical imperatives, regulatory considerations, privacy concerns, and patient and clinician expectations around the Watson technology and how it can be incorporated into clinician workflows. The initial nine-member board represents leading organizations in various areas of healthcare delivery, and includes:
Watson represents a new class of industry-specific analytical solutions and decision support systems that use deep content analysis and evidence-based reasoning and natural language processing. By accurately extracting medical facts and quickly understanding relationships buried in large volumes of data, such as electronic medical records, family medical history, and the latest clinical research, the technology can help accelerate and improve clinical decisions, reduce operational waste, and enhance patient outcomes.
"Watson represents a technology breakthrough that can help physicians improve patient outcomes," said Dr. Herbert Chase, a professor of clinical medicine at Columbia University. "As IBM focuses its efforts on key areas including oncology, cardiology and other chronic diseases, the advisory board will be integral to helping align the business strategy to the specific needs of the industry."
"The depth of leadership, talent and experience represented on the Watson Healthcare Advisory Board will be instrumental to advancing how IBM Watson technology is put to work in the healthcare industry," said Manoj Saxena, general manager of IBM Watson Solutions. "IBM's Watson technology has the potential to profoundly impact the quality of patient care by fundamentally transforming how medicine is taught, paid for and practiced."
The Watson computing technologies are currently being developed and commercialized by IBM in collaboration with the healthcare industry in order to help doctors and healthcare professionals improve diagnosis and treatment in areas such as chronic disease and oncology.
The recommendations of the Watson Healthcare Advisory Board will be shared with IBM clients and used by IBM's global team of healthcare industry professionals. This group of more than 4,000 professionals and 60 medical doctors are working with clients to create smarter healthcare systems, focused on the patient, aimed at reducing medical errors, achieving better patient safety and quality outcomes, and saving lives. IBM has undertaken more than 3,000 healthcare transformation projects around the world from small hospitals to national healthcare systems.

Some bears are especially fond of larval bees and honey and will actively seek out hives in their home range. Consequently, beehives should be located as far as possible from timber and brush providing bears with cover and travel routes. Honey crops should be harvested as soon as possible after the spring, summer and fall nectar flows to reduce the attractiveness of hives to foraging bears, and prevent the loss of the new honey crop in the event of depredation. When possible, apiaries should be moved to new locations if bear activity is detected nearby.
To minimize possible damage to hives and prevent bears from establishing bad habits, apiaries in occupied habitat should be protected using electric fences, or at a minimum use bear-resistant platforms (with an overhang more than two metres above the ground).
Electric fencing has been shown to be almost 100 per cent effective in deterring bear damage. Compact apiaries are easier to protect with bear-resistant fencing than those scattered over a larger area, so beekeepers should consolidate hives to form the smallest apiary that can be practically managed.

text: From Sia to Elton John, from Billie Holiday to David Bowie, LGBT musicians have changed the course of modern music. But before their music–and the messages behind it–gained understanding and a place in the mainstream, how did the queer musicians of yesteryear fight to build foundations for those who would follow them? David Bowie Made Me Gay is the first book to cover the breadth of history of recorded music by and for the LGBT community.Darryl W. Bullock reveals the stories of both famous and lesser-known LGBT musicians, whose perseverance against the threat of persecution during decades of political and historical turmoil–including two world wars, Stonewall, and the AIDS crisis–has led to some of the most significant and soul-searching music of the last century. Bullock chronicles these struggles through new interviews and archival reports, dating from the birth of jazz in the red-light district of New Orleans, through the rock 'n' roll years, Swinging Sixties, and disco days of the '70s, right up to modern pop, electronica, and reggae. An entertaining treasure-trove of untold history for all music lovers, David Bowie Made Me Gay is an inspiring, nostalgic, and provocative story of right to be heard and the need to keep the fight for equality in the spotlight.

Help needed for boy with serious medical conditions
Three year old Reece requires constant care Photo: Jane Hesketh
Three year old Reece is a lovely, happy little boy. He enjoys going to nursery and playing with his friends. But he also has some serious medical conditions, which means he needs 24 hour care.
He's been living with his foster family in Leicester since he was 11 months old, after his mother had to reluctantly ask social services for help.When he was born he had trouble breathing, so he had a tracheostomy tube put into his neck. He also has difficulties eating and has a tube in his stomach.

Researchers analyzed data from more than 7,000 people of working age in Australia and were not surprised to find that those who were unemployed had poorer mental health overall than those with jobs.
However, the study authors also found that the mental health of people with badly paid, poorly supported or short-term jobs could be as bad as, or even worse, than that of those who were jobless.
People with the poorest quality jobs experienced the largest decline in mental health over time. The researchers found a direct association between the number of unfavorable working conditions and mental health, with each additional negative job aspect reducing a person's mental health score.
For unemployed people, the health benefits of finding a job depended on the quality of the job. Getting a high quality job after being unemployed boosted mental health by an average of 3 points, but getting a poor quality job led to a mental health decline of 5.6 points.
The authors concluded that very demanding jobs that give people little control over their work -- and that provide little support or financial reward -- are not good for health.
"Work-first policies are based on the notion that any job is better than none as work promotes economic as well as personal wellbeing, wrote the authors. "Psychosocial job quality is a pivotal factor that needs to be considered in the design and delivery of employment and welfare policy."
The study appears online in the journal Occupational and Environmental Medicine.


Mixtures of Linear Models
With example code in R.
So, somehow you managed to find a lot of data for which you want to fit a linear model. The problem is that there are several different categories in the data and you forgot to record which \(x\) falls into which category. Oops. This is especially bad because the relationship between your dependent and independent variables changes across categories. How do we solve this?
Finite Mixture of Linear Models
For example, let's look at the mad popular Iris dataset. We've got three different kinds of iris: setosa, versicolor, and virginica. For all 150 irises in the dataset, we have their sepal length and petal length. Clearly, there three different clusters of iris and we can run a single linear regression for each cluster to pull out the true relationships between petal length and sepal length. But, if we didn't know which iris was which, we wouldn't be able to do this with basic linear regression. That's where a mixture of linear models comes in.
The model described here uses the Expectation Maximization (EM) algorithm to estimate three linear models and infer the species of iris without any category information. The model comes from a 2010 paper by Faria and Soromenho. The basic outline is this:
 1. Initialization Step - We more or less randomly assign values to all of the parameters described below.
 2. Expectation Step - We use a normal PDF to calculate the probability that each iris is a member of each species. Then we standardize these values so that the probability that iris #1 is a setosa, versicolor, or virginica is equal to 1. It has to be one of those and only one of those.
 3. Maximization Step - We calculate three weighted linear regressions, one per species. We use all of the irises to calculate each regression, but they are weighted by how likely they are to be a member of that species (from step 2). So irises that are unlikely to be versicolor are weighted very low in the versicolor regression compared to irises that are likely to be versicolor.
 4. Then, we repeat steps 2 and 3 until the algorithm converges.

Cross Exchange Rate Calculator
Enter the exchange rate or currency A to C and the exchange rate from B to C into the cross exchange rate calculator. The calculator will return the Cross Rate from A to B.
Cross Exchange Rate Formula
The following formula is used to calculate the cross exchange rate of 3 different currencies, A,B, and C.
A:B = A:C/B:C
 - Where A, B, and C are different currency rates.
When analyzing currency exchanges it's important to point out that the ratio of exchange rates is constantly changing from day to day. This formula can also be used to calculate cross exchange rates of things that are not currencies.
Cross Exchange Rate Definition
A cross exchange rate is the ratio of exchange rates between two or more currencies on the open market.
How to calculate cross exchange rate?
How to calculate a cross exchange rate
 1. Determine the ratio between currency A and C.
 Using your tool of choice, look up the exchange rate between currency A and C. This will be your A:C ratio
 2. Next, determine the ratio between currency B and C
 This will be your B:C ratio. You can use the same tool or database as used in step 1.
 3. Finally, calculate A:B
 Using the formula above and the ratios from steps 1 and 2, you can now calculate the A:B cross exchange rate.
What is a cross exchange rate?
A cross exchange rate is a term typically used in economics to describe the comparison of two currencies through the use of a third common currency. For example, if you know the rates between A and C and B and C, then you can estimate the rates between A and C assuming the same rules apply to exchanges.
How can i use a cross exchange rate?
Cross exchange rates can be used to calculate fair market values for exchanging of any goods or services, not just currencies. For example, if you want a chicken, and it costs 1 blanket, but you don't have a blanket, then you need to exchange something else, say a rock. If you know that rock is also worth one blanket, then you can exchange the rock for that chicken.

URLs like /ticket/:id, as it already contains all the fields by default, parameter "fields" is not needed, but you can still use additional fields parameters to expand child blocks: XX_RT_URL_XX/REST/2.0/ticket/1?fields[Queue]=Name,Description Authentication Methods Authentication should always be done over HTTPS/SSL for security. You should only serve up the /REST/2.0/ endpoint over SSL. Basic Auth Authentication may use internal RT usernames and passwords, provided via HTTP Basic auth. Most HTTP libraries already have a way of providing basic auth credentials when making requests. Using curl, for example: curl -u 'username:password' /path/to/REST/2.0 Token Auth You may use the RT::Authen::Token extension to authenticate to the REST 2 API. Once you've acquired an authentication token in the web interface, specify the Authorization header with a value of "token" like so: curl -H 'Authorization: token …' /path/to/REST/2.0 If the library or application you're using does not support specifying additional HTTP headers, you may also pass the authentication token as a query parameter like so: curl /path/to/REST/2.0?token=… Cookie Auth Finally, you may reuse an existing cookie from an ordinary web session to authenticate against REST2. This is primarily intended for interacting with REST2 via JavaScript in the browser. Other REST consumers are advised to use the alternatives above. Conditional requests (If-Modified-Since, If-Match) You can take advantage of the Last-Modified headers returned by most single resource endpoints. Add a If-Modified-Since header to your requests for the same resource, using the most recent Last-Modified value seen, and the API may respond with a 304 Not Modified. You can also use HEAD requests to check for updates without receiving the actual content when there is a newer version. You may also add an If-Unmodified-Since header to your updates to tell the server to refuse updates if the record had been changed since you last retrieved it. ETag, If-Match, and If-None-Match work similarly to Last-Modified, If-Modified-Since, and If-Unmodified-Since, except that they don't use a timestamp, which has its own set of tradeoffs. ETag is an opaque value, so it has no meaning to consumers (unlike timestamps). However, timestamps have the disadvantage of having a resolution of seconds, so two updates happening in the same second would produce incorrect results, whereas ETag does not suffer from that problem. Status codes The REST API uses the full range of HTTP status codes, and your client should handle them appropriately.

How to: Resolving the inline controls
Some of you have already used the inline controls, others just know they are there, the rest doesn't even know they exist. They can be a powerful feature, but sometimes, you may not know how to use them, especially if you use them on ASPX templates.
Hi there,
Inline controls are very similar to macros, the difference is that macros produce a text result, while inline controls produce a working control placed in your page.
If you click the Insert inline control button in the WYSIVYG editor toolbar and select some inline control, you may notice that just some special text macro is inserted into the text.
If you then view the page, you can see how the macro is resolved into a control with functionality.In this sample, it is a BizForm, but it can be anything, including your custom control.
This happens because native controls in Kentico CMS support resolving of the inline controls automatically. Examples of such controls are editable regions or viewer controls with transformations.
But you may want to enable resolving of the inline controls somewhere else. Maybe in your custom web part or on an ASPX template.
Rendering the content
A typical action that you do if you want to display some text from WYSIWYG editor is rendering it to the page. One way how to do that is a literal control.
So let's say we want to display the editable text from the Home page on another page. I will show you this example on the CorporateSiteASPX sample site, but the same thing can be done in any ASPX code you have.
Locate the ~/CMSTemplates/CorporateSiteAspx/Services.aspx page and add the following ASPX code into it:
I put it right after the ContentText editable region. Then, add following lines to the Page_Load method of that page:
CMS.TreeEngine.TreeNode homeDocument = CMS.CMSHelper.TreeHelper.GetDocument(CMSContext.CurrentSiteName, "/Home", CMSContext.PreferredCultureCode, true, "CMS.MenuItem", false);
if (homeDocument!= null)
 this.ltlContent.Text = (string)homeDocument.DocumentContent["MainContentText"];
The name in the indexer may vary based on the name of your editable region on the Home page.
If you now go to the live site view, you can see the home page text rendered, BUT without the inline controls resolved in it:
Resolving the inline controls
We are getting to the root of this article: How to resolve the inline controls? The process of resolving is very simple, you just need to have your ASPX components in a right way and call the right method to resolve them.
The method is located in the CMS.ExtendedControls.ControlsHelper class and it is the ResolveDynamicControls(Control parent) method. As the parameter name indicates, you are not refering to the control with the text itself, but to some parent. You will understand why once you read how it works:
 - The method identifies all literal controls within the parent container.
 - Any literal control that contains an inline control macro is split into several controls: Literal with the text before the macro, Resolved inline control, Literal with the text after the macro.
 - If it locates a container control, it iteratively does the same thing within it.
So basically, if there is an inline control macro, the internal controls collection of the parent is processed and potentially altered with new controls. By specifying the parent, you simply say on which part of the page you want to apply the resolving process. Needless to say, you can apply this to any part of the page, no matter how complex it is, including the whole Form control.
To make our sample working, wee need to provide some parent container, so change the ASPX code to:
And we will call the resolve function on it, so add following line to the end of the Page_Load method:
Now if you look at the page, the controls will be resolved:
Final notes
You should note several things:
 - The resolving process modifies the controls collection and needs to examine the content of each included literal, so it should be called on the smallest possible collection of controls.
 - Since the control collection is modified, the resolving works only with a code that doesn't contain any code blocks, otherwise you get the following exception: The Controls collection cannot be modified because the control contains code blocks (i.e. <%... %>).
 - An inline control is a simple macro, so it doesn't include any security, unless the security check is done by the control itself. So in case you develop your custom inline controls, be aware of that.
 - Inline Polls, BizForms and Ratings are based on the same concept, they just have their own buttons on the toolbar, but they can be inserted as general inline controls, too.
I should also note that in the future (in 6.0), the inline controls will be obsoleted, and a new and much better concept of inline widgets will be introduced. It will also cover security and many more options for their configuration. There is no need to panic, inline controls will still be supported, just not recommended as the best practice. The inline widgets will internally work on the same resolving, so whereever you put this code, it will automatically work with the inline widgets the same way without the need for any updates.
That is all from me today, see you next time

Creation, Assessment and Dissemination of Interdisciplinary Research - based Curriculum
Educators today are faced with the challenge of: (1) providing students with the skills and knowledge required for cross-discipline success, and (2) engaging students in research experiences that will motivate and retain them in S.T.E.M-related fields. Undergraduate research experiences help to address both these objectives. It has been demonstrated that research experience can play a role in increased student retention, graduation rates, entrance into graduate schools and motivation to pursue advance degrees and careers in science. Providing research experiences during the undergraduate years exposes students to different facets of science not available in a regular curriculum.
This paper describes a novel interdisciplinary, research-based laboratory curriculum, beta testing of the new curriculum and preliminary assessment and evaluation data. Using the pesticide degrading bacterium, Brevundimonas diminuta as an anchor organism, the curriculum follows a logical progression starting with isolation and identification of pesticide degrading soil microbes, gene cloning, gene expression, bioprocessing of the gene product and commercial applications, thus demonstrating the life cycle of a typical biotechnology product. These series of laboratory protocols use a guided inquiry method to teach appropriate techniques and skills and help students build a bridge between materials presented in courses and applications in real life. Students then apply these concepts and techniques in independently designed investigations.
Preliminary data on beta-testing the new curriculum indicates that these modules can be successfully integrated into new or existing courses. Preliminary data from direct assessment on student performance indicate significant leaning gains in skills and knowledge. In addition, the Student Assessment of Learning Gains (SALG) results support results of direct student assessments.
The new curriculum provides research experience that is integrated within the curriculum and is different than the traditional model where students conduct independent research projects under a faculty mentor.
The structure of the curriculum provides a logical coordination between the biotechnology modules, yet it is flexible enough to be integrated into other courses such as microbiology, genetics, and environmental sciences and bioprocessing.

I suggest you model the movement of your character as a velocity vector. The keys accelerate in a certain direction. Gravity and friction (and collisions) bring the player to stop.
I found this here (it's not python but the ideas are the same), maybe it helps: _URL_

You could also save the sequence of jump movements as a list and iterate through the movements in the list. Not as flexible, but another option. – Joel Cornett Apr 1 '12 at 18:29
