Crime prediction is a field of machine learning that deals with the use of historical data to predict future criminal activity. This is a relatively new field, and as such there is a lack of standardization in terms of methods and evaluation metrics. This guide provides an overview of the different approaches to crime prediction using machine learning, as well as some tips on choosing the right method for your data.
What is crime prediction?
Crime prediction is the use of machine learning algorithms to predict criminal activity. This can be used for law enforcement purposes, to help prevent crime, or to identify areas that are more likely to experience crime.
How can machine learning be used for crime prediction?
Crime prediction is a complex problem that has traditionally been tackled using human expertise and intuition. However, with the advent of powerful machine learning algorithms, it has become possible to use these methods to automatically detect patterns in data and make predictions about future events.
There are a number of different machine learning approaches that can be used for crime prediction, each with its own strengths and weaknesses. In this article, we will explore some of the most popular methods and discuss how they can be applied to real-world datasets.
What are the benefits of using machine learning for crime prediction?
There are many potential benefits of using machine learning for crime prediction. Machine learning algorithms can analyze large amounts of data more quickly and accurately than humans, so they have the potential to identify patterns that may be difficult for humans to spot. Machine learning can also be used to build models that make predictions about future crime rates, which can help police departments allocate resources more efficiently. In addition, machine learning-based crime prediction systems can offer real-time alerts to law enforcement officials when a crime is about to occur, which could help prevent crimes from happening in the first place.
What are the challenges of using machine learning for crime prediction?
There are a number of challenges that must be considered when using machine learning for crime prediction. First, it is important to have accurate and reliable data. This can be difficult to obtain, especially in areas where crime is prevalent. Second, the data must be cleaned and processed in order to train the machine learning model. This can be time-consuming and difficult, particularly if the data is large and complex. Finally, the machine learning model must be constantly updated and trained on new data in order to remain accurate.
How accurate is machine learning for crime prediction?
How accurate is machine learning for crime prediction?
This is a difficult question to answer, as there is no definitive answer. Machine learning is constantly evolving, and so its accuracy for crime prediction is also constantly changing. That being said, machine learning can be quite accurate for crime prediction if it is used correctly. In general, machine learning algorithms are able to learn from data and identify patterns that humans would not be able to identify on their own. This can make machine learning a powerful tool for crime prediction.
However, it is important to remember that machine learning is not perfect. There are always going to be some inaccuracies when using machine learning for crime prediction. This is why it is important to use other methods (such as human expertise) in conjunction with machine learning. Additionally, it is important to keep in mind that the accuracy of machine learning for crime prediction can vary depending on the specific dataset that is being used.
What are the limitations of machine learning for crime prediction?
There are several potential limitations to using machine learning for crime prediction. One is that machine learning algorithms may not be able to accurately identify all relevant patterns in the data. Another is that the predictions made by the algorithm may not be completely accurate, and may sometimes be biased. Finally, machine learning-based predictions may not be completely reliable, as they can change over time as the underlying data changes.
What are the future directions for machine learning for crime prediction?
The future directions for machine learning for crime prediction are still being explored. Some possible directions include:
-Developing more sophisticated algorithms that can take into account a wider range of factors
-Improving data collection methods to get more accurate and timely data
– Better understanding how machine learning can be used in conjunction with other methods, such as traditional statistical methods
-Expanding the use of machine learning to other types of crime, such as white collar crime
In conclusion, machine learning is a powerful tool that can be used for crime prediction. However, it is important to remember that no prediction is perfect, and that machine learning should be used alongside other methods (such as police work) to help keep communities safe.
In this section, we will provide a list of resources that will be useful in understanding the basics of machine learning for crime prediction.

GROUND IVY Overview Information
Ground ivy is a plant. The dried plant and crushed leaves are used to make medicine.
People take ground ivy for mild lung problems, coughs, and bronchitis. They also take it for arthritis and other joint pain, ringing in the ears (tinnitus), stomach problems, diarrhea, hemorrhoids, bladder infections, bladder stones, and kidney stones. Women take it for menstrual (period) problems.
Some people apply ground ivy directly to the skin for wounds, ulcers, and other skin conditions.
In food manufacturing, ground ivy is used as a flavoring.
How does it work?
Ground ivy might work as an astringent to dry out body fluids such as mucus and to help stop bleeding.
- Mild lung problems.
- Joint and muscle pain (rheumatism).
- Menstrual (period) problems.
- Ringing in the ears (tinnitus).
- Stomach problems.
- Bladder stones.
- Kidney stones.
- Wounds or other skin conditions, when applied directly to the skin.
- Other conditions.
GROUND IVY Side Effects & Safety
Ground ivy is POSSIBLY SAFE in the amounts used to flavor foods and in small doses as medicine. However, it is known to contain substances that can damage the liver and also cause miscarriages. Larger amounts can irritate the stomach, intestines, and kidneys, and cause serious liver damage.
Special Precautions & Warnings:Pregnancy and breast-feeding: It's UNSAFE to use ground ivy if you are pregnant. It could cause a miscarriage.
It's also best to avoid ground ivy if you are breast-feeding. There isn't enough information to know whether it is safe for a nursing infant.
Kidney disease: Ground ivy contains a chemical that can irritate the kidneys. Don't use ground ivy if you have kidney problems.
Liver disease: Ground ivy contains a chemical that can harm the liver. It could make existing liver disease worse. Don't use ground ivy if you have liver problems.
Epilepsy or another seizure disorder: Don't use ground ivy if you have epilepsy or a history of seizures.
GROUND IVY Dosing
The appropriate dose of ground ivy depends on several factors such as the user's age, health, and several other conditions. At this time there is not enough scientific information to determine an appropriate range of doses for ground ivy. Keep in mind that natural products are not always necessarily safe and dosages can be important. Be sure to follow relevant directions on product labels and consult your pharmacist or physician or other healthcare professional before using.


I'm an Underworked Planner and I'm Losing Heart
The last two posts discussed strategies for overworked planners. But that's not the case for everyone. What if a planner is underworked and losing inspiration?
First, let's consider why this might happen.
 - You are faster at tasks than the average planner.
 - The organization has a temporary logjam of expertise in your area. Assignments are spread around or go to those with the longest tenure.
 - Managers can't reassign work because of rigid or obsolete job descriptions, or competition between departments.
 - The work is there, but approvals, agreements, grants, or contracts are gummed up, preventing you from starting or causing a mid-course pause until decisions are worked out.
 - Your supervisor doesn't trust you to complete important tasks and steers assignments away from you.
A sign of underwork is your relationship to time: rather than seeking to slow down the clock so you can get more done by the end of the day, the underworked planner wants it to speed up so the day is over sooner.
A natural human reaction to underwork is to keep it quiet. Planners develop coping strategies and may disguise their underwork, such as participating in unnecessary or lengthy meetings. But over time, underwork can erode motivation and self-confidence. It can lead to an unprofessional attitude and poor performance. Later on, when a planner reflects back on their career, "avoided overwork" is not the best legacy.
The planner should seek to understand the reasons for underwork, such as distinguishing between temporary underwork and underwork as a long-term condition. If your supervisor doesn't trust you with certain assignments, for example, it is best to know that and take appropriate action. It could also mean you are about to be laid off or fired.
Here are some strategies for responding to underwork:
Ask your supervisor for formal and informal feedback on your performance.
If there are issues regarding reliability, skill, attention to detail, or getting along with others, take steps to address them.
Ask your supervisor for new assignments.
There is a natural reluctance to do this since underwork could quickly turn into overwork, but you shouldn't be underutilized at work over the long term. If you ask for new assignments your supervisor will take note of the initiative.
Ask your supervisor if you can be temporarily shared.
Can you work with other departments in your organization, or in consulting, shared with other offices?
Propose initiatives and special projects that add value to the work you do.
For example, a planner who writes staff reports could develop a flowchart of approval processes and facilitate work process improvements as part of an inter-departmental working group.
Propose new initiatives that reasonably relate to your work scope.
If you are in local government, listen to what council members and the city manager are dealing with and think of how you could help respond to problems or take advantage of opportunities. For example, you could apply for a grant that would fund technical studies that the city needs, such as preparing a climate action plan. If you are a consultant, you could offer to research a new business line or territory.
Use your lack of stress at work to carve out time to volunteer outside of work.
If underwork is combined with boring work, find an outlet outside work that is fulfilling.
Look for a new job in an organization that will take full advantage of your talents.
There isn't a necessarily a sweet spot between too much and not enough work — the inspiring planners I meet usually have too much on their plate. Some of them may dream of a few days of underwork, but in the long-term, fully engaging your talents is the most satisfying path.

How to Gather and Disseminate Information During and Following a Crisis?
Created on September 27, 2012
Communications before, during and following an emergency is bi-directional. Stakeholders or audiences will ask questions and request information. The business will answer questions and provide information. This flow of information should be managed through a communications hub.
Contact and Information Centers form the "hub" of the crisis communications plan. The centers receive requests for information from each audience and disseminate information to each audience. Employees from multiple departments may be assigned to communicate with a specific audience.
The "contact center" fields inquiries from customers, suppliers, the news media and others. The contact center should be properly equipped and staffed by personnel to answer requests for information. The staff working within the contact center should be provided with scripts and a "frequently asked questions" (FAQ) document to answer questions consistently and accurately.
The "information center" consists of existing staff and technologies (e.g., website, call center, bulletin boards, etc.) that field requests for information from customers, employees and others during normal business hours. The information center and its technologies can be used to push information out to audiences and post information for online reading.

Background: This study's purpose was to assess patient-based functional outcomes following open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF) of displaced scapular body and glenoid neck fractures. This series represents a 9-year experience at a level-I trauma center and referral destination for this injury.
Methods: A database was established to record surgical and functional outcomes of scapular fractures treated with ORIF. For this report, the cases of all patients who had a glenoid neck or scapular body fracture (AO/OTA 14-A3 or 14-C1) without intra-articular involvement were reviewed. Operative indications included medial/lateral displacement of ≥20 mm, angulation of ≥45°, medial/lateral displacement of ≥15 mm with angulation of ≥30°, double disruptions of the superior shoulder suspensory complex with both displaced ≥10 mm, a glenopolar angle of ≤22°, and an open fracture. The results of clinical testing, including measurements of range of motion and strength and scores on the Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder and Hand (DASH) and Short Form-36 (SF-36) questionnaires, were recorded at each follow-up appointment.
Results: Between 2002 and 2011, 61 patients with an extra-articular scapular fracture were treated surgically within 20 days after the injury; 19 patients (31%) had ≥2 operative indications. Of the 61 patients, 49 (80%) were followed for ≥1 year (mean, 33 months; range, 12 to 138 months) following surgery. There was a 100% union rate at the time of final follow-up, with a mean DASH score of 12.1 points (range, 0 to 54 points). For all parameters, the mean SF-36 scores of the study patients were comparable with normative population scores. The range of motion of the operatively treated and contralateral shoulders averaged, respectively, 154° and 159° of forward flexion, 106° and 108° of abduction, and 66° and 70° of external rotation. The strength of the operatively treated and contralateral shoulders averaged, respectively, 20 and 23 lb (89.0 and 102.3 N) of force in forward flexion, 14 and 16 lb (62.3 and 71.2 N) in abduction, and 19 and 23 lb (84.5 and 102.3 N) in external rotation. Complications and/or secondary surgery were recorded for 8 patients (16%).
Conclusions: Displaced scapular body and glenoid neck fractures that meet current published standards for ORIF can be treated operatively with predictably good functional outcomes.

Mooning is the art of displaying one's bare buttocks by removing clothing, e.g., by lowering the backside of one's trousers and underpants, usually bending over, whether also exposing the genitals or not. Mooning is used mostly in the English-speaking world to express protest, scorn, disrespect, or provocation but can also simply be done for shock value or fun. Some jurisdictions regard mooning to be indecent exposure, sometimes depending on the context.
Moon has been a common shape-metaphor for the buttocks in English since 1743, and the verb to moon has meant 'to expose to (moon)light' since 1601. As documented by McLaren, "'mooning', or exposing one's butt to shame an enemy [...] had a long pedigree in peasant culture" throughout the Middle Ages, and in many nations. Formerly, "mooning" was slang for "wandering idly" and "romantically pining." Although the practice of mooning was widespread by the 19th century, the Oxford English Dictionary dates the use of "moon" and "mooning" to describe the act to student slang of the 1960s, when the gesture became increasingly popular at among students at universities in the United States.
In Chilean Spanish, the act of mooning is known as cara pálida, lit. "Paleface".
Patrick Devine, 19, from County Donegal, Ireland was arrested on 27 July 2007 for allegedly dropping his trousers as a dare in Saint Louis, Senegal. Devine, a student of Queens University Belfast, spent one month in jail for his alleged actions.
In 2003 two British tourists were convicted and fined €920 each on indecent exposure charges for mooning.
In 2006, a Maryland state circuit court determined that mooning is a form of artistic expression protected by the First Amendment as a form of speech. The court ruled that indecent exposure relates only to exposure of the genitals, adding that even though mooning was a "disgusting" and "demeaning" act to engage in, and had taken place in the presence of a minor, "If exposure of half of the buttocks constituted indecent exposure, any woman wearing a thong at the beach at Ocean City would be guilty."
Defense attorneys had cited a 1983 case of a woman who was arrested after protesting in front of the U.S. Supreme Court building wearing nothing but a cardboard sign that covered the front of her body. In that case, the District of Columbia Court of Appeals had ruled that indecent exposure is limited to a person's genitalia. No review of the case by a higher court took place since prosecutors dropped the case after the ruling.
In California, an appellate court found in 2000 that mooning does not constitute indecent exposure (and, therefore, does not subject the defendant to sex offender registration laws) unless it can be proven beyond reasonable doubt that the conduct was sexually motivated.
Notable incidents of mooning
- In 80, Flavius Josephus recorded the first known incident of mooning. Josephus recorded that in 66 AD, at around the beginning of the First Roman–Jewish War, a Roman soldier mooned Jewish pilgrims on their way to the Jewish Temple in Jerusalem, causing a riot, an over-response by the Roman military, and the deaths of thousands of pilgrims.
- In the Siege of Constantinople in 1204, the Greeks exposed their bare buttocks to the Crusaders after they repulsed them from the walls.
- During the Battle of Crécy in 1346, when king Edward III of England took Caen on the way to Crécy, several hundred Norman soldiers "exposed their backsides to the English archers and many of them paid a high price for doing so."
- A number of early explorers of the Atlantic coastline noted that the Etchemin tribe of Maine practiced this custom.
- Since 1979, The Annual Mooning of Amtrak has been an annual tradition in Laguna Niguel, California on the second Saturday of July, where many people spend the day mooning passing Amtrak trains; some passengers ride the trains that day to witness the event. This has inspired a chain of "train moonings" throughout the country.
- On November 22, 1987, an intruder interrupted the broadcast signal of Chicago PBS affiliate, WTTW with a strange video of himself dressed to resemble Max Headroom. He exposed his buttocks to the camera.
- Pauly Shore first mooned on film in Phantom of the Mall: Eric's Revenge (1989) as his character, Buzz, tricks a mall guard into leaving his booth.
- In June 2000, a mass mooning event was organised outside of Buckingham Palace in the United Kingdom by the Movement Against the Monarchy (M'AM). A large police presence prevented a large scale mooning, but a few individuals did so. This event is known as the Moon Against the Monarchy.
- On 7 June 2002, Macy Gray mooned the crowd during her performance at Manchester Apollo concert in Ardwick Green, Manchester, England.
- At the 2005 UK Music Hall of Fame awards ceremony, musician Ozzy Osbourne mooned the crowd after a set he played.
- In October 2006, English Premiership footballer Joey Barton was fined £2,000 for mooning Everton fans.
- A tradition of Appalachian Trail thru-hikers Mooning the Cog has developed on Mount Washington in New Hampshire.
- On January 9, 2005, Randy Moss of the Minnesota Vikings pretended to moon Green Bay Packers fans following a touchdown he scored. He was fined $10,000 by the NFL for the incident.
- At the Patch Adams Full Moon Festival three-day event to raise money for his Gesundheit Institute! and Albuquerque, 200,000 people pay $100 each to moon as a group and lend a hand with local projects.
- On 10 May 2007, Yvette Fielding pulled a moonie out a Soho restaurant window on the final episode of the reality television series Deadline.
- On 24 October 2011, economic inequality protester Liam Warriner of Sydney ran alongside the motorcade of Queen Elizabeth II and a waving Prince Phillip for 50 metres with an Australian flag clenched between his exposed buttocks, before being accosted by police.

Canadian artist Aganetha Dyck has a grand appreciation for both art and bees. Driven by her innate fondness, she manages to combine the two in an interspecies collaboration that results in porcelain sculptures cloaked in honeycombs. The artist provides her buzzing little friends with custom-designed apiary feeder boards and hive blankets, where she introduces the figurines and allows the bees to transform them with their hexagonal cells of wax.
Through her series of work, Dyck also draws attention to the escalating decline and mysterious disappearance of bees across the globe. The phenomenon known as colony collapse disorder, in which colonies of bees have gone missing, affects everyone, as they are a great source of pollination for crop farmers. In fact, the bee population is said to have decreased by 30-50% in North America. Some bee farmers have even reported an 80% loss of their bees.
The artist, who values the importance of environmental issues, works with honeybees to produce each time-consuming piece, reflecting the power of combined efforts between different species and exhibiting the importance of bees in the world. Dependent on the passage of time, whether it be weeks or months, the figurines are adorned or cloaked in the waxy structures built by the diligent insects.


Computer modeling helps stadium's solar panels withstand quakes
07/15/2009 | PCWorld
A new 55,000-seat stadium in Taiwan that has the ability to provide its own power and water is reported to be among the greenest buildings in the world. The stadium, sometimes called the "sun-powered stunner," is also designed to withstand severe earthquakes and typhoons. Solar panels on the stadium's roof generate energy for the building, and builders used computer modeling to determine the impact that earthquakes or typhoons would have on the panels.

filme porno gey gratisIn this blog post we'll show you how to create wires and tubes in different ways. We'll start with laying everything on a flat surface, then on an uneven surface and lastly mix things up a bit more.
filme porno gey gratisThese methods and principles will also probably work in other CAD programs, given they have similar tools, of course.
filme porno gey gratis
In this example we'll create an 8 mm outer diameter tube with 1 mm walls which just lays on a flat surface.
First, create a flat surface in the form of a box. Then create a smaller cube with sides large enough to house the cross section of your wire or tube. For our?8 mm tube, we'll just create a 10x10x10 mm cube. This cube is not necessary, but it makes it easy to define a start position and angle. It will also underline an important technique later on. Usually you would have a set place to start and end your wire/tube, but in this case we don't have anything like that.
Then construct an above the large surface with offset equal to your wire/tube radius. In our case this is 4 mm. In addition, create a sketch on one of the sides of the cube where you want your wire/tube to start. Create a circle tangent to the bottom edge as in the screenshot below. This will serve as our sweep profile.
Next, create a spline on the offset plane which starts at the center-point of the proper side of your cube. The shape is not that important, but it will reflect the physical properties of your wire/tube – stiff as a garden hose or soft as boiled spaghetti. Don't worry about the spline being perpendicular on the cube edge yet. What you also can do is to create a straight construction line on the same sketch which starts where the spline starts and goes through the cube. This should be perpendicular to the cube edge/face.
Here comes a neat little trick: create a tangent constraint between your spline and your straight construction line. This way your wire/tube will start in a natural angle relative to what it is attached to. It doesn't matter too much in our example here, but you more often than not want your wire/tube to exit perpendicularly out of a box or whatever. You can also play around with the spline's fit points while the start will stay in the same angle in a natural fashion.
Now comes the fun part! Use the sweep tool and choose the circle on the side of the cube as profile and the spline as patch. Make sure orientation is Perpendicular and that you choose either new body or new component as operation.
To make this thing look less like a smoothly bent steel rod and more like a tube, use the shell tool. Select both ends and specify wall thickness (in our case 1 mm). This will hollow out our steel rod and make it a pipe instead. Alternatively, you can create to circles on the side of the cube (one for the outer diameter and one for the inner) and use the area between them as the sweep profile. This way you don't have to use the shell command.
Give it the clear acrylic appearance and do a quick render. Remember to hide your cube! The result might look something like this:
You can easily change the shape of the tube by moving/adding/removing spline fit points in the sketch. The changes will propagate to the final result. The outer diameter can be changed by altering the circle diameter on the side of the cube. For it to rest on the surface you will need to go change the offset plane offset.

Let's up the complexity a bit. This principle works with any kind of surface, but in this example we will use the sculpting environment to create the uneven surface and go from there.
Start with creating a form. This will take you to the Sculpt workspace. Create a plane with as many faces as you feel like and make it "un-flat" by using the Edit Form tool (drag vertices, edges and/or faces up and/or down). We found our inner artist and created the magnificent wavy surface seen below.
Now we're going to use the handy Thicken tool to create two additional surfaces based on this one: one surface which the center of the tube will follow and another surface which actually will thicken the original surface and create a solid body.
The cool thing about the Thicken tool is that a surface can be thickened either along an axis or along the normal of the surface. We will need to use the Normal direction for the plane that the tube will follow and the No Edge thicken type. Choose a thickness equal to the radius of your tube. In our case this is still 4 mm.
Repeat the operation, only this time reverse the direction, choose either a Sharp or Soft thicken type. The direction parameter and the thickness aren't important (we went with Sharp, Normal and 1 mm).
Create a sketch in the XY plane (if the Z-axis is your vertical axis) and draw your initial tube shape with a spline. Our sketch can be seen below.
Now create a new sketch and choose the Project To Surface tool. This is where the magic happens. Choose the topmost surface as face, the spline as the curve and the vertical axis as projection direction with an Along Vector project type. You can see the result below where the spline follows the chosen surface.
In the first example we used a cube to define the sweep profile. This time we're going to do something different. Construct a plane along path, choose the newly projected curve and drag the plane to one of the ends of the curve like seen below. The curve will always be normal to this plane. Hide the topmost surface (you won't need it anymore).
The rest is easy. Create a tube profile on the newly constructed plane with correct outer radius and use the sweep tool to create the tube.
One issue you might encounter is that the tube may cut into the base surface. This is in our opinion not logical since the target surface for the projection should at any given point be exactly one tube radius away from the base surface. If some of you know why this isn't the case, please leave a note in the comments below.
Luckily, this amount isn't that large. You can see below how much got cut into our base surface. For pure aesthetic purposes, this can be overlooked. We chose to cut away the overlapping part.
Now, put on some silly textures and render. Here's our result.
Up until now, our wires/tubes have followed the surface completely. This makes it look very soft and/or heavy. Smaller wires and tubes are usually quite stiff compared to their weight, and will be floating much more in the air.
Here's an example where we have added a bit more natural stiffness, but it still looks quite soft and heavy.
Here we have used the same approach as the previous example except deviated a bit more from the original surface. What we did here was pretty simple due to the simplicity of the original surface:
- Make a copy of the original body and enlarge it in a normal direction (larger diameter on the cylinder and a bit thicker flat area).
- On the larger body, increase the fillet radius on the sides of the cylinder. This will make the wire/tube float a bit in the air where it's somewhat natural.
- Project to surface and sweep just like before.
Combine what we've talked about up until now with 3D sketching, and you'll have a powerful set of wire/tube making skills. For this to work you need to check the Allow 3D sketching of lines and splines box in the Design preferences. Now you can for instance create a spline on a sketch and manually drag the spline fit points away from the sketch plane, creating a three dimensional spline.
In the render at the very top of this blog post we've used a combination of all these methods and principles. We've combined splines projected to surfaces and 3D splines. Combining these in a smooth way can be a bit tricky sometimes, but give it try! Learning by doing doesn't get old.

On joy and learning
At Haiti Partners, it's important to us to present not only Haiti's harsh realities, but its beautiful sides as well. In videos like the one below, we celebrate the joy of happy students having fun with one of their favorite people, Children's Academy Coordinator, Alex Myril.
But making our students feel safe and happy isn't just about having fun. It's essential to successful learning. Research shows that stress impedes memory and learning. In order for children to engage and develop to their potential, they need to feel safe and cared for. And, unfortunately, stress is the norm in all too many schools in Haiti where corporal punishment and humiliation are used regularly in the classroom.
Thank you for your partnership as we work to make high quality, transformative, joyous education the norm in Haiti.

HTML Factors
Time to first byte:
Time to first byte is a analysis which is the marker of the receptiveness of a webserver or the other network resource.
TTFB measures the time from the client requesting an HTTP request to the very initial byte of the webpage being received by the client's browser.
This time is made up of the socket connection time, the time taken to answer or send the HTTP request, and the time to get the initial byte of the web-page. It should not be mistaken as a after-DNS calculations
The main key aspects of TTFB are as follows:
1) sending a request to the end server from a client browser
2) process and transform that particular request on the server and provoke a response,
3) sending the output response to the client from the server.
Response times are generally measured in the milliseconds, ms.
A good server response time will be not higher than 300ms.This varies through the client's request location. A response time greater 300 ms, or extreme variations, are both warnings that there are issues with the server and needs to be fixed.
Avoid a Character Set In the Meta-Tag
Character set is defined as the group of characters each of the character defined by a number. Using character set in the meta-tags create nausance in the browser rendring and the crawling search engines. These character-sets are used in order to find what should be shown on a web-page. A typical meta tags looks like these The major cause of using meta-tags is information duplicacy. Most of the browsers that we use automatically send these headers so there is chance that they may be overridden. Most of the servers like apache/nginx already uses inbuilt in their configuration or.htaccess files. e.g Apache.htaccess file
AddType 'text/html; charset=UTF-8' html
Nginx.config file
http { include /etc/nginx/mime.types; charset UTF-8;... }
Avoiding meta-tags will led to increase our page-load time and skip any information duplicacy that the browser may cause.
Webpage Redirection
Url Redirecting makes a web-page to load slower because requests conversion takes a lot of time from one url to other.Many websites suffers a lot of speed issues because of this. Avoding any redirects and keeping the original url will he If you do not use any redirects, you are serving your content significantly faster. Total Time taken on loading a page depends on the number of redirects the site has. Redirects are likely the one single most time waster in your code especially when you consider mobile networks. They dramatically affect your page speed in a noticeably bad way. Redirects affect mobile users a great deal as they are using less reliable mobile networks than your desktop users.
Avoid E-Tag Status
Enitity tags are a way to determine weather component in the browsers's cache is matched against that of the backend server. That component can be either an image,css,scripts,stylesheets etc. Sending Etags everytime in the header takes a lot-of time for the requests to process and corresponding status is sent back to server.A sample ETag looks like this:
Etags provide a flexible validation model and you do not know how to use it in its core, we should not use Etag Header and remove it altogether.
IP-6 Enabled
When talking about the network protocols IPv6 is far better in terms of speed and stability than the IPv4, Big Giants like Facebook and the Linkedin found 30% improvements in the locations of Europe by changing their protocols from v4 to v6. IPv6 addresses each contain 128 bits and use hexadecimal digits. That means instead of zero through 10, they can use zero through 10 plus 'a' through 'F' (base 16).That gives a total of 340 undecillion possible combinations, so we do not need to worry about running out of IPV6 addresses anytime soon. This gives us a total range of 340 undecillion (3.4 x 10^28) possible combinations. We won't have to worry about running out of IPv6 addresses any time soon So Web Analyzer recommends switching from IPv-4 to IPv-6 for better speed performance.
Total Page Requests
Every time when we visit a webpage on the web, the web browser pings the server which is hosting hosts that webpage.It requests the server that send it to the server-files containing the content for that website. These files consitutes the text, the images, and the videos or multimedia that exist on that webpage.
The Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) is a protocol for allotted, collective, hypermedia knowledge systems. It is the base foundation of data communication for the WWW( World Wide Web )
That request is known an HTTP request. HTTP stands for "Hypertext Transfer Protocol," in which a web browser sends a request for a document or file, and the server transferring that particular document or file to the browser.
Page Size
The first web page was live way back in August 6, 1991. With years of fast tech development and user-interface becoming prominent, the actual sizes of pages have significantly increased. In 2010, the average web page size was 702kb and in 2017 it was 3422kb.So the challenge lies how to show all the dynamic content without making compromising the speed.
The overall size of a web-page is calculated by various number of components. Keep in mind that the actual size of the text is rarely a factor and is negligible. The most important are the java-scripts, the images, the graphical content and icons, and the videos..
You can read how to better server Javascript,CSS,Images in the web-page.An average page size should be around 200k.Also with page number total number of http-requests are also important. Having a web-page weighing only 200k but the http-requests excedding 100 is probably worse off than a 500k page with only 20 http-requests.
DNS LookUp
DNS is defined as Domain Name System schema which keeps reference to which domain name maps to which Internet Protocol(IP).Precisely, its a process to know which IP the domain or the url belongs to.Browser mainly handles all the look-ups for the DNS.Web Analyzer recommends no more than 15 unique domains for good speed.On an average, a DNS lookup takes between 20-120ms to complete.
Also, DNS records can be cached to improve the network speed. The DNS cache tries to boost up the process by magaing the name resolution of already /recently visited addresses just before the request is sent out to the internet.
Page Load Time
Page Load Time is a performance criteria that tells how much time it takes for a webpage to fully render. Its the direct factor that impacts user-engagement and business's bottom line When a user makes a request to a webpage and until the entire content of that page is displayed on the requesting browser, this time is Page Load Time WebAnalyzer recommends less than 3 seconds web-page load time as a good metrics, above than that you must think about taking instant measures to correct. Page Load Time depends on TimeForFirstByte i.e how fast a web server respond, all the static files including images,css,js.
Render Blocking Sources
Render-blocking resources are the factors that takes the maximum time delaying the page load time.So, removing these extra nauicance should be removed at the very first. Now the question is how do we find these resources.Webnalyser helps in giving the waterfall for all the resources against their time taken to load.So one can easily capture those resources either it will be css,js or an broken image. These resources can be removed by following these steps:
 - Properly calling the CSS and JS files - using genioun link tag instead of using _USER_
 - Reducing the number of CSS files in the head tag
 - Removing any tag in the head
 - A link without async attribute
Removing these factors will make our page load fast and result in higher user engagement, more pageviews.
Use Gzip Compression
GZIP is used for file compression and decompression. It is generally enabled server-side, and it allows the HTML reduction in size.One can check if the server has Gzip enabled by checking for response headers "content-encoding: gzip". If the header is detected,it servers with the compressed files.It is one of the general and common ways to serve files with GZIP compression.Web-Analyzer helps to detect that by checking on website response and let you know the outcomes.
Connection-Keep Alive
Keep alive is a way to allow the same TCP connection persists for HTTP conversations instead of opening a new connection with each new request.It is also called persistant connection. One can check for "connection: keep-alive" header in response for a webpage request.One can enable keep-alive in Apache config file for a typical apache web-server.
Vary Header
The Vary header tells the server HTTP cache that which of parts of the headers other than the path and the Host header, to take into account when trying to find the right object. It does this by listing the names of the relevant headers, which in this case is Accept-Encoding. In case there are more than one or multiple headers that influence the response, they would all be listed in a single header, separated by a comma. A typical response for a Compressed response should look something like:e: HTTP/1.1 200 OK Content-Length: 3458 Cache-Control: max-age=86400 Content-Encoding: gzip Vary: Accept-Encoding


the umpire. The back judge ensures that the defensive team has no more than 11 players on the field and determines whether catches are legal, whether field goal or extra point attempts are good, and whether a pass interference violation occurred. The back judge is also responsible for the play clock, the time between each play, when a visible play clock is not used.
 - The head linesman/down judge is positioned on one end of the line of scrimmage. The head linesman/down judge watches for any line-of-scrimmage and illegal use-of-hands violations and assists the line judge with illegal shift or illegal motion calls. The head linesman/down judge also rules on out-of-bounds calls that happen on their side of the field, oversees the chain crew and marks the forward progress of a runner when a play has been whistled dead.
 - The side judge is positioned twenty yards downfield of the head linesman. The side judge mainly duplicates the functions of the field judge. On field goal and extra point attempts, the side judge is positioned lateral to the umpire.
 - The line judge is positioned on the end of the line of scrimmage, opposite the head linesman. They supervise player substitutions, the line of scrimmage during punts, and game timing. The line judge notifies the referee when time has expired at the end of a quarter and notifies the head coach of the home team when five minutes remain for halftime. In the NFL, the line judge also alerts the referee when two minutes remain in the half. If the clock malfunctions or becomes inoperable, the line judge becomes the official timekeeper.
 - The field judge is positioned twenty yards downfield from the line judge. The field judge monitors and controls the play clock, counts the number of defensive players on the field and watches for offensive pass interference and illegal use-of-hands violations by offensive players. The field judge also makes decisions regarding catches, recoveries, the ball spot when a player goes out of bounds, and illegal touching of fumbled balls that have crossed the line of scrimmage. On field goal and extra point attempts, the field judge is stationed under the upright opposite the back judge.
 - The center judge is an eighth official used only in the top level of college football. The center judge stands lateral to the referee, the same way the umpire does in the NFL. The center judge is responsible for spotting the football after each play and has many of the same responsibilities as the referee, except announcing penalties.
Safety and brain health
Football is a full-contact sport, and injuries are relatively common. Most injuries occur during training sessions, particularly ones that involve contact between players.[113] To try to prevent injuries, players are required to wear a set of equipment. At a minimum players must wear a football helmet and a set of shoulder pads, but individual leagues may require additional padding such as thigh pads and guards, knee pads, chest protectors, and mouthguards.[114][115][116] Most injuries occur in the lower extremities, particularly in the knee, but a significant number also affect the upper extremities. The most common types of injuries are strains, sprains, bruises, fractures, dislocations, and concussions.[113]
Repeated concussions (and possibly sub-concussive head impacts[117]) can increase a person's risk in later life for CTE (chronic traumatic encephalopathy) and mental health issues such as dementia, Parkinson's disease, and depression.[118] Concussions are often caused by helmet-to-helmet or upper-body contact between opposing players, although helmets have prevented more serious injuries such as skull fractures.[119] Various programs are aiming to reduce concussions by reducing the frequency of helmet-to-helmet hits; USA Football's "Heads Up Football" program aims to reduce concussions in youth football by teaching coaches and players about the signs of a concussion, the proper way to wear football equipment and ensure it fits, and proper tackling methods that avoid helmet-to-helmet contact.[120] However, a study in the Orthopaedic Journal of Sports Medicine found that Heads Up Football was ineffective; the same study noted that more extensive reforms implemented by Pop Warner Little Scholars and its member teams were effective in significantly reducing concussion rates.[121]
A 2018 study performed by the VA Boston Healthcare System and the Boston University School of Medicine found that tackle football before age 12 was correlated with earlier onset of symptoms of CTE, but not with symptom severity. More specifically, each year a player played tackle football under age 12 predicted earlier onset of cognitive, behavioral, and mood problems by an average of two and a half years.[122][123][124]
Leagues and tournaments
The National Football League (NFL) and the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) are the most popular football leagues in the United States.[125] The National Football League was founded in 1920[126] and has since become the largest and most popular sport in the United States.[127] The NFL has the highest average attendance of any sporting league in the world, with an average attendance of 66,960 during the 2011 NFL season.[128] The NFL championship game is called the Super Bowl, and is among the biggest events in club sports worldwide.[129] It is played between the champions of the National Football Conference (NFC) and the American Football Conference (AFC), and its winner is awarded the Vince Lombardi Trophy.[130]
A high school football game during the first quarter
College football is the third-most popular sport in the United States, behind professional baseball and professional football.[131] The NCAA, the largest collegiate organization, is divided into three Divisions: Division I, Division II and Division III.[132] Division I football is further divided into two subdivisions: the Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS) and the Football Championship Subdivision (FCS).[133] The champions of each level of play are determined through NCAA-sanctioned playoff systems; while the champion of Division I-FBS was historically determined by various polls and ranking systems, the subdivision adopted a four-team playoff system in 2014.[134]
Other professional leagues
Several professional football leagues have been formed outside the auspices of the NFL. One such league, the XFL, is currently operating as of 2020.[137]
Rival leagues
The most successful league to directly compete with the NFL was the American Football League (AFL), which existed from 1960 to 1969. The AFL became a significant rival in 1964 before signing a five-year, US$36 million television deal with NBC. AFL teams began signing NFL players to contracts, and the league's popularity grew to challenge that of the NFL. The two leagues merged in the 1970 season, and all the AFL teams joined the NFL. An earlier league, the All-America Football Conference (AAFC), was in play from 1946 to 1949. After it had dissolved, two AAFC teams, the Cleveland Browns and the San Francisco 49ers, became members of the NFL; another member, the Baltimore Colts joined the league, but folded after just a year in the NFL.[138]
Other attempts to start rival leagues since the AFL merged with the NFL in 1970 have been far less successful, as professional football salaries and the NFL's television contracts began to escalate out of the reach of competitors and the NFL covered more of the larger cities. The World Football League (WFL) played for two seasons, in 1974 and 1975, but faced such severe monetary issues it could not pay its players. In its second and final season the WFL attempted to establish a stable credit rating, but the league disbanded before the season could be completed.[139] The United States Football League (USFL) operated for three seasons from 1983 to 1985. Originally not intended as a rival league, the entry of owners who sought marquee talent and to challenge the NFL led to an escalation in salaries and ensuing financial losses. A subsequent US$1.5 billion antitrust lawsuit against the NFL was successful in court, but the league was awarded only $1 in damages, which was automatically tripled to $3 under antitrust law.[140]
Complementary national leagues
The original XFL was created in 2001 by Vince McMahon and lasted for only one season. Despite television contracts with NBC and UPN, and high expectations, the XFL suffered from low quality of play and poor reception for its use of tawdry professional wrestling gimmicks, which caused initially high ratings and attendance to collapse.[141] (The current XFL, also owned by McMahon, does not include those gimmicks.) The United Football League (UFL) began in 2009 but folded after suspending its 2012 season amid declining interest and lack of major television coverage.[142] The Alliance of American Football lasted less than one season, unable to keep investors.[143]
International play
American football leagues exist throughout the world, but the game has yet to achieve the international success and popularity of baseball and basketball.[144] It is not an Olympic sport, but it was a demonstration sport at the 1932 Summer Olympics.[1] At the international level, Canada, Mexico, and Japan are considered to be second-tier, while Austria, Germany, and France would rank among a third tier. These countries rank far below the United States, which is dominant at the international level.[145]
NFL Europa, the developmental league of the NFL, operated from 1991 to 1992 and then from 1995 to 2007. At the time of its closure, NFL Europa had five teams based in Germany and one in the Netherlands.[146] In Germany, the German Football League (GFL) has 16 teams

Google Sheets Tutorial
How To Split First Name and Last Name In Google Sheets
Get Martech tutorials, tips and strategies delivered straight to your inbox - it's free!
G'day guys, Chris Higgins from Electric Monk here. Hope you're doing well.
So today I've got a really fantastic Google Sheets tip to share with you, and I'm only slightly embarrassed to admit that I have only just discovered this feature in the last few months. Now this is one of those features where if you're aware of it and you use it often, you'll likely think that this is the dumbest tutorial in history. However, if you're not already aware of this feature, then this video will probably... maybe change your life.
So let's jump into Google Sheets and have a look at what's going on. You can see here I've got my sample list of contacts. These are all students at a particularly prestigious boarding school, and we've got a column for their name, their email address and their assigned school house.
The problem that we've got is that all of the students' names have been entered as full names in a single column rather than being split into separate columns. If you work with a lot of contact data, you will have received CSV files just like this yourself. And the issue is that platforms like HubSpot typically store names as two separate properties - first name and last name - and they won't actually allow you to upload any contact data if the names aren't formatted correctly. So, we need to find a way to split these names out into separate columns before we can upload this data into our CRM.
Now, the obvious answer is to go through them all line by line, cutting and pasting the surname values into a new column. And that's manageable if you've got a list like this that only contains 40 or so names, but if you're dealing with a file that includes hundreds or perhaps even thousands of names, that can be really time consuming.
So it turns out that there is a feature in Google Sheets that enables you to split data into multiple cells, and it makes it ridiculously quick to format a list of contacts just like this one. So the first thing we need to do is create a new empty column next to our full name column, which you can do by right clicking and selecting the Insert column option. It's worth eyeballing your list of names at this point to see if you've got any contacts with middle names or titles, because at the end of this process each name is going to be split into its own cell. So if you do have any contacts with three or four names, make sure you create a couple of extra columns to accommodate them. Once you've got your empty column in place, you need to highlight the column that contains the names that you want to split, then click Data, and then click Split text to columns.
You should then see this small tool bar that asks you what separator you'd like to use. Choose Space, and then that is literally it. Your names should now be split out into separate columns. The final thing you need to do is just ensure that your column headers are updated so that they'll be recognised when you import them into HubSpot.
I really hope you found this useful and please do feel free to let me know in the comments if there are any other MarTech tutorials that you'd like me to create. Cheers!

Creative Ideas For Data Presentation
Home > Presentation of Data Page> Creative Data Presentation
Throw away your excel sheets and PowerPoint files for your next data presentation. Engage your audience and capture their imagination using these 3 simple and creative ways to present data.
1. Make your data tangible for your audience:
We saw a marketing manager of sporting goods manufacturing company use this idea effectively. He threw a ping pong ball to the participants and said that the ball represented their market share in sporting goods segment. Then he threw a basket ball and said that it represented the market share of their main competitor.
When he kept the two balls side by side, the difference in magnitude became quickly apparent to the audience. No numerical data would have created a better realization in the audience's mind than that demonstration.
If you looking to open your presentation with data, you can read more about it here.
How can you make your audience touch and feel the data in your next presentation?
2. Make people a part of your data presentation:
I saw a highly involving presentation made by the CEO of an NGO that supported orphans. The audience had people from various corporates and the presentation was to raise funds for the organization.
All through the presentation the presenter involved young children to represent data. For example, she invited 3 children to come up on stage and stand in a row. She asked the first one to sit down and the third one to raise hands. She said, "These children represent the growth of our NGO in the last three years. Our children are able to live better and reach higher because of your support. I want your help to make them reach higher next year "
This helped her not only to talk about her organization but also to strike an emotional chord with the audience.
How can you involve people in your next presentation?
3. Make the audience build your point:
In one of the budget meetings, I heard a senior manager employ this method effectively. While he allocated budgets to various departments based on their profitability, some department heads insisted on more budgets for their functions.
He invited everyone to do a small activity. He asked them to tear an A4 sheet paper in two halves. He then asked them to tear one of the halves in two. He took the small piece of paper to scoop some toffees from a jar on his table. He then used the bigger piece of paper to scoop toffees. Naturally, he could scoop more toffees with the bigger piece.
He finished by saying," If the pieces of paper represent the share of profits brought in by a function and the toffee jar represents the funds we have. The goodies you get depend on the size of your sheet."
He didn't have to say anything else after that and the message was clear.
There are many ways to make your point using simple demonstrations, if you put your mind to it.
What can you come up with for your next presentation?
Rules for creative data presentation:
The activities you select need to follow these 2 critical rules to be successful:
- It should be made for a key point only. Such activities can be very powerful. So if you use it for an insignificant point, your audience will remember your presentation for the wrong reason.
- The conclusion should be clear to the last person in your audience. If it involves a long explanation to be understood, then avoid it.
Remember, a data presentation can be memorable or boring depending on the way you want to lend meaning to numbers. Take the time to make your audience relate to your numbers. It is worth the effort.

Think history is just a boring list of names and dates? Think again. There's hundreds of amusing stories that they don't tell you in history class. Some of those have to do with deaths, because let's be honest, people sometimes die in ironic and downright ridiculous ways. Some, like the curious case of the Greek writer Philitas, died because of an obsession. Others, like the case of John Sedgwick, were hit with the right arm of perfect irony. A while back, we did an article on five of history's most ridiculous deaths. Here's six more:
1. Death by Beard
Back during the Renaissance, circa 1567, Hans Steininger, a man living in Austria, became famous for having the world's longest beard. Sources have cited that, at its peak length, his beard was over a meter and a half long! That's almost five feet! Well, reportedly, he died because of his beard. One day, he tripped over his majestic mane, lost his balance, and fell, snapping his neck. His death was almost instantaneous.
2. Death by Academia
Philitas of Cos was a Greek philosopher who lived during the 300s-200s BC. He was, in fact, the first Greek writer who was both scholar and poet. Not much is known about his life, but according to other Greek historians and writers, Philitas was so obsessed with his work that he literally wasted away and died because he was too busy and scholarly to eat. How's that for dedication?
3. Death by Safe
According to what history tells us, Jack Daniel (yes, the guy that created the alcohol brand), died by kicking a safe. The story goes that he came to work one morning to fill out paperwork. At one point, he had to get the safe open, but couldn't remember the combination and got so frustrated that he tried to kick it open.
Well, he actually injured his foot so badly by kicking the safe that the limb began to develop gangrene, and even after the foot was amputated, the gangrene spread up his limbs and killed him. He died on October 10, 1911 when he was 61 years old.
4. Death by Irony
During the American Civil War, John Sedgwick was a general fighting on the Union side. During one particular fight, he made fun of his soldiers for running away from the Confederates, who were 1,000 yards away and raining down heavy fire.
He was recorded as shouting, over the sound of the gunfire: "[The Confederates] couldn't hit an elephant at this distance!".
A few seconds later, a Confederate sharpshooter shot him in the eye. The shot killed him immediately. How's that for irony?
5. Death by a Quest for Immortality
You've probably heard of the famous Terracotta Army — the hundreds of thousands of life-sized clay figurines all created to guard the ancient Chinese Emperor Qin during his afterlife. We hear a lot about Emperor Qin and his vast necropolis full of treasures. What we don't hear about often is what caused his death. Ironically, he died because of his obsessive quest for eternal life. During his last years, Emperor Qin feared death and began to desperately search for the "elixir of life" that would grant him immortality. He fell prey to many false physicians who sold him hoax medicines that were supposed to make him immortal. In the end, one of his alchemists gave him three mercury pills. He ingested them, hoping that they would give him eternal life, and promptly died of mercury poisoning.
6. Death by Molasses Flood
During a cold January day in 1919, in a freak accident that has become a part of local folklore in Boston, a disaster occurred. A storage tank in Boston exploded, unleashing a wave of molasses that ripped through the area at a whopping 35 km per hour, killing over 21 people and injuring 150. For decades after, Boston locals have claimed that, during particularly warm summer days, they can still smell molasses.

In this figure above showing white dresses one can see the different styles, with added accessories and patterns. Using the color 5 element theory these dresses can be described as:
- Metal & Wood Pattern
- Red Belt – Fire
One can begin to be aware of the elements in the colors and shapes they are wearing and learning what accessories to use and when by becoming familiar with the qualities of the 5 elements and their cycles of harmony and disharmony.
One can also learn their primary nurturing element and begin to explore applying these principles to their wardrobe to dress for harmony and success. Using Chinese Cosmology find your Kua Number. This will give you your element and corresponding color palette. If at first you are not drawn to your elements color range explore what elements support your primary nurturing element. For example in the 5 element theory wood supports fire. If the fire range is too strong a range for you, consider the wood palette as wood supports fire!
Learning your element, one can then begin to explore the 5 element cycle of harmony or disharmony to accessorize their outfit to express the experience they are wearing. An example is in the first figure in frame one of the white dress that is in a metal color, water shape and accessorized with a red belt which reflects fire. In 5 element theory metal creates water so the style and color are in harmony yet the contrasting belt is fire which is considered to melt metal. The belt is a nice contrast for too much metal and water!

When does 35 not equal 35?
… and when does 35 – 35 not equal zero?
In the first case the answer is when one "35" is on an Excel spreadsheet and the other 35 is in VBA. The question arose from the ongoing continuous beam discussion with metroxx, who had, quite reasonably, generated a series of output points by calculating the length of one step (35/30) then adding this value to the previous length in 30 stages. This mysteriously caused an error in the function for no obvious reason.
Stepping through the code I found that the error was occurring when the last output point was compared to the beam length and found to be greater. The mysterious part was that both on the worksheet (formatted to 15 decimal places), and in the VBA Locals window, both values displayed as being exactly 35. Also entering the formula = A62 – 35 returned exactly zero.
To investigate what was going on I wrote the short VBA function shown below:
Function Diff(A As Double, B As Double) As Double
Diff = A - B
End Function
The function simply subtracts B from A, but using this function with the incrementally generated "35" as A and the "exact" 35 as B returned a value of 7.11E-15, even though stepping through the routine both variables displayed as exactly 35 in the locals window.
The answer to the second question is the same as the first (as would be expected), but also in some cases this behaviour can be seen on the spreadsheet with no VBA involved. As stated above, the formula = A62 – 35 returns exactly zero, but the formula = (A62 – 35) returns 7.11E-15, the same as the UDF! The screenshots below show more detail of this behaviour.
In the spreadsheet in column B I have generated 30 increments with the formula =(B7+$C$4), where C4 is =C2/C3, i.e. 35/30.
The value in column C are generated with =$C$2*A8/$C$3, where C2 is the beam length, A8 is the increment number, and C3 is the number of increments (30). Column D contains the the formula =B8 – C8, Column E: =Diff(B8, CB), and column F: =(B8 – C8).
Floating point value check - click to view full size
Error in Column D result
It can be seen that Column D has returned a difference of zero in all cases, even though the VBA function in Column E and the formula in Column F show a difference of up to 1.42E-14.
These differences are of course caused in part by the fact that all values are stored as binary floating point values, that cannot represent all decimal or fractional values exactly. This is described in several Microsoft documents (e.g. Understanding Floating Point Precision), which all claim that Excel follows the IEEE Standard for Binary Floating-Point Arithmetic. Clearly this is not the whole story though, since the example given generates errors up to an order of magnitude greater than the maximum difference between any exact value and the nearest floating point value, and also generates different results depending on how worksheet formulas are entered.
I would be interested if anyone has any more background on exactly how these things are handled in Excel, but for practical purposes I think the lessons are:
 - When comparing non-integer values be aware that values that display as exactly equal may be stored as different values.
 - When comparing doubles in VBA either round the values to a suitable precision, or check that the difference is less than some small value, rather than exactly zero.
 - Calculations that involve the difference between two nearly equal values may give incorrect results. Consider carrying out this type of calculation entirely in VBA (or if necessary in a different language offering higher precision calculations).
Example added 27th Dec 2011:
Another example of the effect of brackets:
 - Cell B4, =B2 + B3, displays as exactly 1, because the 1.6E-15 would be the 16th and 17th significant figure, but only 15 significant figures are displayed.
 - Cell B5, =B4 – 1, displays as exactly 0, the contents of B4 being treated as the displayed value.
 - Cell B6, =(B2 + B3), displays as exactly 1, the same as B4, as would be expected.
 - But Cell B7, =B6-1, displays as 0.000000000000001554, using the decimal equivalent of the underlying value stored in B6, rather than the displayed value.
 - Cell B8, =(B6-B4), displays exactly 0, using the displayed values in both cells
 - Cell B9, = B7-B5, displays 1.554E-15 (i.e. the same as B7), so
 ((1+x))-(1+x) <> ((1+x)-1)-(1+x-1) !

 Hi all, here comes a short list of links that helped me to understand what IEEE 754 DP really means for computational arithmetics:
 here MS states where VBA (not XL!!) adheres to IEEE 754 and where not
 imho, good summary of all effects
 homepage of Prof. Kahan, many papers available for download; among them this nice "fatwah" on Java's IEEE implementation; imho, even VBA programmers can learn much from it
 Click to access JAVAhurt.pdf
 imho, a nice website on the subject
 "staircase to hell" demonstrating one of XL's dirty secrets, i.e., manipulating a wide range of numbers around the exact doubles
 According to my experience, XL cannot be used to pre-test VBA code in detail because firstly, the results of even simple arithmetic operations may differ and secondly, even the standard mathematical functions sometimes yield different results in XL and VBA, resp. This holds true for XL10/VBA6/x32 as well as for XL14/VBA7/x64. Moreover, unlike C or Fortran VBA does not seem to take full advantage of the cache registers providing extended precision for intermediate results that all modern processors are equipped with. Therefore, I recommend to use VBA only to interface to routines written in a more suitable language like C or Fortran if accuracy really matters, for example when solving ODEs or PDEs, resp.

 Agree it's strange that parentheses around a formula can change the result?!
 The differences in column F of the screenshot are exact binary powers: 2^-50, 2^-49, etc. as one might expect from the binary representations. This ties in with the fact that Excel truncates numbers beyond the fifteenth significant figure in calculations (_URL_ whereas seventeen significant figures are needed to store numbers exactly in the xml file formats. In VBA results are displayed rounded to fifteen significant figures but are stored internally to greater precision.
 - lhm says:
 After further investigation, it's clear that formulas in column D return zeroes due to truncation but the differences in column F are generic IEEE double round-off errors. For instance this c code returns identical results:
 double sum=0;
 int i;
 (The chart could also be converted to a step chart if desired.)
 3. Georg says:
 Ihm, the key needed to understand all those "strange" effects occuring with the DP numbers is to realise that the gap between two adjacent DP numbers doubles at each exact non-zero power of two. That is why in VBA if statements, e.g., you should only compare DP numbers to 0# and not to any other DP number, because in the latter case the interval yielding true/false is no more symmetric around your DP reference number.
 Imho, the behaviour of the DP numbers can only be fully understood if we look at their binary representation and not at their (mostly) rounded decimal representation. If you know that 0.1 is internally approximated by the IEEE 754 DP binary number 3F B9 99 99 99 99 99 9A (little endian byte order), and that 0.5-0.4 is approximated by 3F B9 99 99 99 99 99 98, you will not be surprised that 2^55*(0.1-(0.5-0.4)) yields a result of 1, whereas 2^55*((0.5-0.4)-0.1) yields a result of -1, though mathematically, both should yield exactly 0. Afaik, forthcoming versions of xNumbers will provide functions that allow for conversions between the decimal and binary representation of a variable of type "Double" in VBA. That VBA lacks the support of subnormal numbers is a big difference between VBA and F, C,… Start with 2^(-1070) and successively divide by 2 in XL, VBA, C, F… and print out the results…

By 1896, Vermont's moose had been driven to near extinction by land clearing and hunting by the early settlers, so the Vermont legislature banned moose hunting. Last year, with a herd of almost 4,000 in the state, there were over 200 vehicle collisions with moose. The size of the herd prompted the first moose-hunting lottery in 1993. How does Vermonters handle the delicate balance between the desire to enjoy moose and the human conflicts that can occur? We join Cedric Alexander of the Vermont Fish & Wildlife Department on a trip to Wheelock Mountain to talk about managing moose and to see if we can get a glimpse of North America's largest mammal.

The peacock was believed by the ancients to have flesh that does not decay after death, and thus became a symbol of immortality.
This symbolism was adopted into Christianity, and the peacock appears in many early Christian mosaics and paintings.
Because of the way a peacock struts and displays its feathers, the peacock is sometimes a symbol of human vanity.
The peacock is used in church decorations in the Easter season.

Welcome to the website dedicated to empowering consumers to understand more about how and when to call the emergency services within Ireland and the EU.
At some point in your life, you may need to call the emergency services such as firemen, police, or medical personnel. By being prepared for calling the emergency services, you can get the help you need much more quickly which can often make a big difference. Parents should also teach their children about when and how to call for help.
The principal emergency services are the "blue light" services that respond to normal emergencies in Ireland namely An Garda Síochána, the Ambulance Service, the Fire Service and the Irish Coast Guard. These principal emergency services would be the 'first responders' in most emergency situations.
In Ireland we have two emergency numbers, 999 and 112.
112 works also in all EU countries and from any phone, free of charge. If a family member or friend is travelling within the EU soon, check that they know what number to call in case of any emergency – under stress of an accident, it could prove vital.
Remember when calling 112 (or 999), 'stay calm, stay focused and stay on the line'.

Liquid Bismuth-fed Ion Propulsion Engines: Construction Methodology for a New Type of Mass-flow Sensor
The purpose of this research is to establish a design concept for construction of a new type of mass-flow sensor for the measurement of mass-flow rate for a liquid bismuth-fed, plasma (or Hall) thruster. The difficulty of handling the harsh environment of measuring liquid bismuth metal; and the necessity of high accuracy measurements of very low mass-flow rates preclude the use of current sensing technology. The high temperature environmentcoupled with electrical conductivity constraintsrequires the use of advanced materials (such as advanced ceramics and refractory metal alloys) for the flow chamber and sensor body components. To meet the needs of the current application, it was necessary to test materials in order to determine the feasibility of use with liquid bismuth. The original design (patented by Dr. Kurt Polzin, of NASA's Marshal Space Flight Center, et al.) was a single, solid-body, sensor made of an easily machine able type of ceramic. The solid-body method proved problematic; therefore, a new segmented-body design was developed in 3D CAD software to allow for a multi-stage method of hardware placement. The new design calls for the body to be made in two halves which allows the placement of elements to be precise and controlled.

Valley of Fire is located 50 mi (80 km) northeast of Las Vegas, at an elevation between 2,000–2,600 ft (610–790 m). It abuts the Lake Mead National Recreation Area at the Virgin River confluence. It lies in a 4 by 6 mi (6.4 by 9.7 km) basin.
Complex uplifting and faulting of the region, followed by extensive erosion, have created the present landscape. The rough floor and jagged walls of the park contain brilliant formations of eroded sandstone and sand dunes more than 150 million years old. Other important rock formations include limestones, shales, and conglomerates.

Heal from Within when you Change an Atom's Spin
Can you change an atom's spin?So the atom has a nucleus and it spins. It spins to such a degree that it can change the very components that comprise it. The atom is a key element of everything on Earth from the way it moves, to its total physicality. As such it is a building block for all that exists in this earth realm. Its significance here is most evident. But how can its spin change and what healing will that offer?
The atom is a microscopic thing, being so very small and yet playing such a big role in this world. It is the key (in many ways) to shape your reality and your ability to heal. As we have said, the mind has the power to reshape an atom and can eliminate illnesses within the body as you may already know.
So why hasn't more been done to promote this line of thinking? If it is the key component to so many things, why not explore this modality more fully?
More will be given in time, but it is through your focused attention that a more balanced spin can be created. There are other methods that might be employed too, but the ultimate aim is to shift your overall energy so that you might engage with life differently. See things and focus upon those things you like rather than dwelling on what does not bring you happiness. Healing is a part of the mix of what might be accomplished when you want to heal some issues within your mind or body. All is possible and so do allow this to be absorbed, understood, and believed.
Healing Energy
Yes, when you focus the mind by sending healing energy to areas that are less than they should be, healing can take place and rapid changes can result. It is true, that each one has all the tools they need to heal so many things within their world. Yet it seems a distant enterprise to consider this premise, much less to consistently do those things which will move all restorative aspects into being.
So here we are. Each has the tools needed, and the very tools sought are within reach. They are stored safely within. Ready and accessible when you are ready and willing to engage them.
