WSJF can't go everywhere!
On March 10, 2015, I wrote an entry on Weighted Shortest Job First (WSJF), in a nutshell, WSJF allows you to prioritize units of work using the lean concept of cost of delay and duration/time to complete. The approach provides a consistent framework for prioritization. This is my favorite of the advanced quantitative approaches. Instead of rehashing an old article (go back and read it before continuing), we will examine a few of the pros and cons of this approach.
 1. Cost of Delay (COD) is difficult to determine. The COD is defined as User-Business Value plus TIme Criticality plus Risk Reduction and/or Opportunity Enablement. All sorts of customer and financial research can be done to generate these numbers. In practice, values are often defined in group sessions that generate consensus on the values to be assigned to COD.
 Solution — Assign research prereading to participants, establish an anchor feature for comparison, to avoid the potential for the process to be unduly influenced use facilitation, and finally consider using relative measures for the components (this makes COD less difficult to determine).
 2. Early-stage innovations will tend to be undervalued, therefore underprioritized. New ideas that require exploration to formulate COD will generate a lower priority than well understood and studied initiatives.
 Solution — Set aside a budget within the portfolio to explore early-stage innovations.
 3. WSJF is often applied at too high a level. This is a criticism leveled by Al Shalloway (see SPaMCAST 559 and 560. Al suggests that when WSJF is applied at the Epic level, some (perhaps much) of the functionality encompassed in the piece of work is not as high value and is not really required.
 Solution — Review the value each piece of work delivers with the Product Owner before the WSJF session to make sure the work packages include only the most important components or are at least separated so they can be discussed individually.
 1. COD and WSJF provide a consistent repeatable approach to prioritization that helps eliminate some forms of bias and System 1 Thinking (based on bias and personal experience).
 2. Using a consensus approach fosters conversations. While the conversations needed to get to a consensus among a group of product owners and stakeholders can be difficult, the information exposed in these sessions is often enlightening and useful to understand what the business problem is and how to solve it (conversation is good).
 3. Fluff gets removed as requests get broken down. Bloated requests and features tend to be pared down or they risk never getting to the top of the list where they will be addressed. Note – this is the mirror image of Shalloway's criticism and is more often seen when using this technique in a facilitated consensus environment.
The idea that organizations and programs should prioritize work based on a set of criteria is not controversial. Small not very risky portfolios with a single product owner or stakeholder should understand the concept but probably will use simpler techniques. As risk and complexity increase so do the need for structure and discipline when making decisions. Daniel Kahneman in Thinking Fast and Slow discusses the need for risk policies so that real people can resist the urge to make biased knee-jerk reactions. Weighted Shortest Job First, an advanced quantitative approach to prioritization is an important, albeit imperfect tool to address prioritization.

Simple models, automatically updated
ProductionCompass is a data funnel that transforms relevant production data into operational advice. Data entering the funnel comprises historical and real-time production data, well tests, and other production metadata such as operator logs. This data is then subjected to big data techniques such as squashing, while still retaining important statistical characteristics. The resulting information is used to build models using regression analysis and machine learning. These models are automatically updated in real time as new data enters the funnel, ensuring frequent calibration to the current operational situation. This approach reduces the need for advanced fluid modeling and human model calibration efforts in a daily production optimization setting.
You can shift focus from data conditioning and model calibration to applying your expertise in analyzing production-increasing opportunities and better balancing your bottlenecks. You can focus on taking actions that maximize production.
Empowering production engineers with real-time machine learning
Shedding light on the elephant in the room; uncertainty
A great advantage of our data-driven technology is that the uncertainties of measurements and models are tracked and quantified. How the field and wells respond to operational change is inherently uncertain, and ignoring this uncertainty will at best be misleading. Our advice are accompanied by e.g. confidence intervals, helping you discriminate between alternative actions and choose the best course. Quantified uncertainty can also be used to design experiments that examine unexplored operational settings with the aim of lowering uncertainty and increasing knowledge. This extends the realm of opportunities that can be discovered, and increases model accuracy. Shedding light on uncertainty enables a novel range of functionality which to a very limited degree exists in technologies and services in the oil and gas industry today.
Uncertainty estimates all the way through

My social network data contain two large families: A and B. A and B are inner connected and also mutual connected. The organic style clearly shows the network structure. The color indicator tells the connection strength, which is quite useful.
However, is it possible to color A and B families with different color. Say, nodes belong to A are colored in blue, so there is a transition from light blue to dark blue according to the number of connections to A nodes. The same for B, but color those nodes in red.
Could you please suggest a way to realize my idea?


Quick Answer: How Do Bikers Greet Each Other?
How do bikers say hello?
Titles for this greeting include "Biker wave", "Motorcyclist wave", "Motorcycle wave" or just "The Wave." The greeting made can include a number of gestures including a nod, a pointed finger, palm-out V sign, or an actual raised-hand wave..
Why bikers wave to each other?
The biker wave is as old as motorcycles. Apparently it was started in 1904 when Harley-Davidson partners Arthur Davidson and William Harley passed each other and waved. It was noted by a passerby and believed to be etiquette among riders. … I'm not talking about motorcycle rider hand signals that indicate hazards etc.
Why do bikers kiss on the lips?
The Angels differentiated themselves from society by kissing each other on the mouth as a greeting and an opportunity to shock passers-by. The bikers' kisses became immortalized in Hunter S.
Why do bikers hate trikes?
There are some notable downsides to Harley's trikes, of course. The most obvious one is the handling. Unlike Can-Am's Spider or Polaris' Slingshot, the two wheels are at the rear of the bike. This severely hampers handling in the traditional sense, as the third wheel renders leaning impossible.
Why do bikers say old lady?
Ol' Lady: Some say Old Lady and others argue about using the 'd' on the end of old. However you choose to pronounce it – – when a biker decides he likes a woman well enough to keep her as his personal property, he takes her as his Ol' Lady. The term Ol' Lady is a term of endearment, not one of disrespect.
What does the peace sign mean to bikers?
A fist with the index and middle fingers extended but spread apart – A peace sign meaning "peace on the road." Thumb and index finger making a circle other three fingers extended – The "OK" sign saying, "I'm okay, you're okay." Can also be a question asking if the other rider is okay.
What is a 2% biker?
What should you not say to a biker?
20 Things to NEVER Say When Dating a BikerYour garage really needed a makeover! … It's like you have another woman out in the garage. … You'll never get ME on that death machine! … You know, I think you love that motorcycle more than you love me. … You spent HOW MUCH on new pipes for your motorcycle?More items…
Why do bikers wave down low?
The Biker Wave is a way for motorcyclists to acknowledge each other as they pass each other on the road. It is very similar to how Jeep owners have their own wave as they pass each other on the road. It really is just a simple way of saying hello to someone who has the same passion as you, when it comes to two wheels.
What does FTW mean for bikers?
For The WindSo, the Hell's Angels are the 81, Forajidos the 6, etc. FTW: usually it would mean "For The Wind", but in the MC culture are "Fuck the World" initials, symbol of biker's absolute rebellion.
What does a 1% tattoo mean?
What do bikers call their girlfriends?
Why do bikers carry hammers?
The ball peen hammer being carried by bikers has been synonymous with Hell's Angels for a very long time, because it used to be an unassuming and very affective weapon for them to use for self protection in a fight. Most people in the biker community still associate the ball peen hammer with HA.
Why do bikers wear rings?
Some wear for sentimental reasons or vanity, and there is some who wear as a symbol of status. There are also others who believe in wearing certain rings will have benefits such as magic talismans, protection from evil spirits and amulets. … These are the reasons one should wear biker rings.
What does it mean when bikers point two fingers down?
This is a way of expressing respect towards the other motorcyclist. It's our way of saying, "Hello! Keep the rubber side down, keep both wheels on the ground". It signifies that the rider is wishing the fellow rider to stay safe and ride safe.
What does a 3% patch mean?
3 Piece Patch Meaning The 3 piece patch is normally used to identify the club as a traditional motorcycle club, shortened as MC. This type of patch is used to signify that the club is not sanctioned by the American Motorcycle Association, but necessarily not a 1% club.
What does 13 mean to bikers?
What does 81 mean to bikers?
MC stands for Motorcycle Club. All members of HAMC World ride motorcycles. 81 is a metonym. It stands for the 8th letter of the alphabet which is an H, and the 1st letter of the alphabet which is an A, HA = Hells Angels.

A MAN needed to have the end of his penis amputated after doctors spotted that it was rotting away during a routine check-up.
The 43-year-old patient, who hasn't been named, was having dialysis treatment for kidney failure at a hospital near Adelaide, South Australia.
But during his examination, medics noticed that the end of his penis had turned white with black spots.
Surgeons quickly realised that it was gangrenous and the dead flesh needed to be sliced off urgently to prevent it from spreading.
Writing in an article, published in BMJ Case Reports, medics explained that the man had developed a rare disease called penile calciphylaxis.
It's a build up of calcium deposits in the small blood vessels, causing them to narrow and cut off circulation.
This can lead to the tissue dying and if it's not caught quickly, it can cause gangrene which can spread quickly and is incurable.
Calciphylaxis can be caused by chronic kidney disease because the organs stop filtering the calcium out of the blood.
Lucky to be alive
In this case, the medics, led by Dr Rowan David, said that the man was lucky to have survived the condition, which kills around six in 10 patients.
He wrote: "The majority of patients who develop penile calciphylaxis progress to gangrene and sepsis".
The patient was taken for an emergency operation to remove the rotting flesh but his wound got worse and he needed further surgery to remove the entire tip.
They managed to reconstruct it with a skin graft four days later but he was left with what they described as a "penile stump".
Despite his ordeal, the man appeared to be doing well when he returned for his two-month check-up.
What is calciphylaxis?
Calciphylaxis is a rare, but serious, kidney complication.
The condition causes calcium to build up inside the blood vessels of the fat and skin.
Calciphylaxis is also called calcific uremic arteriolopathy.
It's most often seen in people with advanced chronic kidney disease, or people with kidney failure who are on dialysis or have had a kidney transplant.
In dialysis, a machine filters and purifies the blood because the kidneys are unable to do so on their own.
Calciphylaxis results in the formation of very painful skin lesions. It often causes serious infections that can be fatal.
Symptoms of calciphylaxis include:
- body aches
If you have any concerns, see a GP immediately.
MORE ON HEALTH
However a year after the operation he was back for more emergency surgery - this time for a perforated bowel.
Medics said this was as a result of calciphylaxis developing in other parts of his body, including his large intestine.
They wrote: "The patient remains alive at his last follow-up over a year following his initial diagnosis of penile calciphylaxis."

Little Beaver and the Echo
by Amy MacDonald Illustrated by Sarah Fox-Davies
Reviewed by Sarah A. (age 7)
Sarah A. is a student in Ingrid ODonoghue's 2nd Grade Class
This book is about Little Beaver and his echo. Little Beaver is lonely. He didn't have any friends which made him very sad and he began to cry. As he cries he hears someone across the pond. Is it a new friend? Little beaver sets out to look for his friend. On the way he meets others who want a friend too. At the other side of the pond there is a wise old Beaver. He tells Little Beaver about Echo. Does Little Beaver find a friend? You will have to read the book to find out.
This is a good book. It teaches you that friends can be found in unexpected places. I like Little Beaver because he told wise Beaver that he and echo didn't have any friends. Wise Beaver is smart like me. The illustrations are like water drops dripping into puddles. This book reminds me of when I went to Yosemite.
I recommend this book to anyone who has ever had to look for a friend.

The Flea
There was a stick in a stream steeped in mud, immobile and old. There was an ordinary flea sitting on it.
The stream went under the flea on the stick slowly, and a light breeze made the leaves ruffle on a tree nearby.
There was a fish in the stream wagging its tail. The fish was by the stick in the mud and it wagged its tail slightly to counter-act the flow of the stream. The fine mud swirled at its tail.
There was a hovering bird in the sky. It moved its wings against the gentle breeze. It hovered above the stick and the flea and the fish.
This took a moment, and in a moment the bird had flown away, the fish had swum beyond the stick, and the flea was gone as if snatched away by an invisible hand.

A street light is a raised source of light on a walkway or road that is turned on at a certain time each night to illuminate the area for safety. Some are light-sensitive to go on at dusk and turn off at dawn. Streetlights can be a lantern or on wired posts such as utility poles and telephone poles.
The first street lamps were used by Roman and Greek civilization for security to avoid falling, tripping or being robbed. Oil lamps were predominantly used and are surprisingly the predecessors to an OLED street light. The oil lamps were manually lighted, sometimes by slaves.
Gas lighting was later used cities which also required manual lighting. Later they used ignition devices that lit the lamp when the gas supply was activated. Arc lamps were the first electric street lighting developed in 1875 by the Russian Pavel Yablochkov. By 1980, arc lighting was used in the United States.
Unlike an OLED street light, arc lights were harsh and maintenance-intensive because the carbon electrodes burned out quickly. An OLED street lights would last for tens of thousands of hours and offers softer lighting that is more natural. By the end of the 19th century, incandescent light bulbs were used for street lighting.
Currently high-intensity discharge lamps are used as well as HPS high pressure sodium lamps. White light technologies currently being developed include LED street lights and OLED street light options.

This is an in depth article of how to identify Murray Grey cattle.
1Do a search on the Internet or in a cattle breeds book for "Murray Grey" cattle.
2Study the characteristics of the breed. Note the following:
- Coloration: Murray Grey cattle range from a light silvery grey to a dark grey, though the primary preferred coloration is silver grey. The skin should be heavily pigmented or dark colored as this keeps away problems such as sunburned udders and cancer eye. The genetic standpoint of the coloration of this breed is not well understood, since multiple gene effects make it difficult to get a true breeding condition. It is thought that in addition to the basic color genes that are involved, dilution or modifying genes also play a definite role in this color pattern inheritance.
- Body type and characteristics: They tend to be fine-boned but beefy, with the same muscling characteristics of a Shorthorn. They are a medium framed breed, similar in size to a medium-framed Angus, and do not get overly big like Continentals would.
- Head characteristics: They tend to have a small head in comparison to the rest of their body size. They are naturally polled as well, with head shape similar to that of an Angus.
Other characteristics: They are originated from New South Wales, Australia, where a roan Shorthorn cow was bred to a Black Angus bull and was found to produce only grey calves from this cross. Interest grew in this grey cattle, and they way they out-performed Angus and Shorthorns, and efforts continued to make this into a breed. Consequently, Murray Grey cattle excel in the feedlot as well as in the pasture on only grass, and butchers started paying a premium for Murray Grey beef. Popularity grew, and so did the breed. Today, they can be found not only in Australia, but also in the USA and Canada.
- They are also known for their small thrifty calves that grow like weeds once they hit the ground. Cows are great milkers as well, and this translates to great growths in the calves. They are highly adaptable, able to thrive and survive in a variety of climatic and environmental conditions, still keeping their condition and raising good calves. They are also very docile, which make them favorable in intensive grazing and feedlot conditions.
3Memorize the details and characteristics of this breed.
4Go on a field trip or road trip and see if you can find farms and ranches with Murray Grey cattle. Take pictures of what you thought were Murray Grey cattle, and compare them with pictures of Murray Greys in your cattle breeds book or on an Internet cattle breeds site.
- Try not to get Murray Grey confused with other composite cattle that can have the same grey coloration. F1 Charolais-Angus cross cattle can be grey in coloration too, since Charolais tend to also have a dilution gene when crossed with other breeds.
- Use the grey coloration as an indicator of this breed.

 g3topbm - convert a Group 3 fax file into a PBM image

 its value.
 This program is part of Netpbm(1).
 g3topbm reads a Group 3 fax file with MH (Modified Huffman) compression
 as input and produces a PBM image as output.
 g3topbm tolerates various deviations from the standard, so as to recover some of the image if there was a transmission error. One thing
 it tolerates is lines of varying length. The standard requires all the
 lines to be the same length; g3topbm makes the output image as wide as
 the longest line in the input and pads the others on the right. It
 warns you when it does this.
 You can use the stop_error option to make g3topbm insist on valid inThere is no Netpbm program that understands the other G3 fax compression methods: MR (Modified Read) and MMR (Modified Modified Read).
 Note that the Group 3 fax file format does not include any kind of a
 signature so that g3topbm might verify it's actually looking at a G3
 file or that the compression method is MH. The program will interpret
 any sequence of bytes you give it as if it is G3 and, while typically
 issuing a lot of error messages about the file not conforming to the G3
 MH format, will produce output (unless you use -stoperror). In particular, if you feed g3topbm an MR or MMR file, it will not tell you of
 your mistake.
 There are subformats of TIFF that use the Group 3 fax encodings inside.
 See tifftopnm.
 Tells g3topbm to ignore the first few lines of the file; sometimes fax files have some junk at the beginning.
 Tells g3topbm to interpret bits least-significant first, instead
 of the default most-significant first. Apparently some fax
 modems do it one way and others do it the other way. If you get
 a whole bunch of "bad code word" messages, try using this opThis option tells g3topbm to stretch the image vertically by duplicating each row. This is for the low-quality transmission
 This option tells g3topbm that the image is supposed to be pixels pixels wide. If any line in it is not that size, g3topbm
 issues a warning or fails, depending on whether you specify
 You cannot specify both -width and -paper_size.
 This option was new in Netpbm 10.33 (March 2006).
 This option tells g3topbm for what size paper this image is supposed to be formatted. g3topbm uses the width of the paper the
 same way as with the -width option. g3topbm does not use the
 height of the paper for anything.
 You cannot specify both -width and -paper_size.
 This option was new in Netpbm 10.33 (March 2006).
 This option tells g3topbm to fail when it finds a problem in the
 input. "Fail" means it terminates with a nonzero status code
 with the contents of the output file undefined.
 If you don't specify this option, g3topbm does its best to work
 around input errors and salvage as much of the image as possible
 in the output image. It first tries to resynchronize to a later
 line by searching for the next End Of Line marker, skipping any
 lines or partial lines in between. It saves the beginning of
 the line in which it encountered the problem. If the input file
 ends prematurely, g3topbm produces output containing the lines
 up to where it encountered the problem.
 g3topbm issues warning messages when it continues in spite of
 input errors.
 This option was new in Netpbm 10.24 (August 2004). Before that,
 g3topbm always failed when it encountered premature EOF and
 never failed when it encountered other problems.

Objective: This study aimed to (i) describe unplanned readmission rates after injury according to time, reason, and place; (ii) compare observed rates with general population rates, and (iii) identify determinants of 30-day readmission.
Background: Hospital readmissions represent an important burden in terms of mortality, morbidity, and resource use but information on unplanned rehospitalization after injury admissions is scarce.
Methods: This multicenter retrospective cohort study was based on adults discharged alive from a Canadian provincial trauma system (1998–2010; n = 115,329). Trauma registry data were linked to hospital discharge data to obtain information on readmission up to 12 months postdischarge. Provincial admission rates were matched to study data by age and gender to obtain expected rates. Determinants of readmission were identified using multiple logistic regression.
Results: Cumulative readmission rates at 30 days, 3 months, 6 months, and 12 months were 5.9%, 10.9%, 15.5%, and 21.1%, respectively. Observed rates persisted above expected rates up to 11 months postdischarge. Thirty percent of 30-day readmissions were due to potential complications of injury compared with 3% for general provincial admissions. Only 23% of readmissions were to the same hospital. The strongest independent predictors of readmission were the number of prior admissions, discharge destination, the number of comorbidities, and age.
Conclusions: Unplanned readmissions after discharge from acute care for traumatic injury are frequent, persist beyond 30 days, and are often related to potential complications of injury. Several patient-, injury-, and hospital-related factors are associated with the risk of readmission. Injury readmission rates should be monitored as part of trauma quality assurance efforts.

The First World War was a singing war. Soldiers used songs to bond and to alleviate the stress and fears encountered at the front. They shared songs with each other at base camps, while marching, and in the front lines.
Types of Songs
There were popular songs of the war, like It's a Long, Long Way to Tipperary and Keep the Home Fires Burning, as well as many songs drawn from contemporary music halls. Sentimental ballads were as popular as irreverent ditties. In addition to the songs coming from the home front, which were often sung in the trenches, many soldiers took these songs and parodied them, adding new lyrics to the existing tunes. These new soldiers' songs often focused on antiwar or antiauthoritarian themes, and few outsiders, especially civilians, knew what to make of songs with morbid titles like We're All Waiting for a Shell or Hanging on the Old Barbed Wire.

Mobilizing Action through Planning and Partnerships (MAPP)
"People working together in a strong community with a shared goal and a common purpose can make the impossible possible." –TOM VILSACK, US Secretary of Agriculture
Mobilizing for Action through Planning and Partnerships (MAPP) is a strategic approach to community health improvement. This tool helps communities improve health and quality of life through community-wide strategic planning. Using MAPP, communities seek to achieve optimal health by identifying and using their resources wisely, taking into account their unique circumstances and needs, and forming effective partnerships for strategic action.
The MAPP tool was developed by the National Association of County and City Health Officials (NACCHO) in cooperation with the Public Health Practice Program Office, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). A work group composed of local health officials, CDC representatives, community representatives, and academicians developed MAPP between 1997 and 2000. The vision for implementing MAPP is:
"Communities achieving improved health and quality
of life by mobilizing partnerships and taking strategic action."
Communities that have undertaken MAPP have experienced the following benefits:
- Creates a healthy community and a better quality of life.
- Increases the visibility of public health within the community.
- Anticipates and manages change.
- Creates a stronger public health infrastructure.
- Engages the community and creates community ownership for public health issues.
Alaska's MAPP Program
The Alaska MAPP Program was established as a cooperative initiative between Health Promotion and the Section of Public Health Nursing in 2006 in order to assist Alaska communities in developing and implementing community-wide strategic plans. The ultimate goals of Alaska's MAPP effort are for communities to achieve optimal health, improve coordination of serves and resources, and build a stronger public health partnership system. Using the national model and materials, Health Promotion provides the following services:
- On-site and statewide training on the MAPP framework
- Technical assistance on all phases of the MAPP
- Location specific consultation on:
- community organizing
- coalition development
- community assessment
- strategic planning
- evidence-based public health
- Access to national and Alaska specific resources
- Community networking across Alaska

text: The aim of this study was to compare MRI of the breast with (18)F-fluoro-deoxy-glucose (FDG) positron emission tomography (PET) in patients with suspected local or regional breast cancer recurrence or suspected contralateral breast cancer. Thirty-two patients (mean age 57.2 years, age range 32-76 years) with suspected loco-regional recurrence ( n=19), chest wall recurrence ( n=5), and suspected secondary tumor of the contralateral breast ( n=8) underwent MRI of the breast and FDG PET of the whole body and breast region. Cytology/histology ( n=17) or a clinical follow-up examination ( n=15) with additional imaging served as the standard of reference. A McNemar test was performed to compare PET and MRI, and kappa was determined to quantify agreement of both methods. Sensitivity was 79 and 100%, specificity was 94 and 72%, and accuracy was 88 and 84% for MRI and PET, respectively. Additional metastases outside the field of view of MRI were found in PET in 5 patients. In this study both imaging methods had comparable accuracy. The detection of distant metastases with whole-body PET imaging can influence patient management.

What Is the Meaning of Production System?
bizfluent article image
factory image by Zbigniew Nowak from Fotolia.com
Any method a business uses to turn resources or raw materials into salable goods is a production system. A contractor's methods for building a residential home, a craftsman's studio for creating a work of art and an assembly line for turning out thousands of cheap goods are all production systems. Businesses can keep profits up and costs down by keeping their production systems as efficient as possible.
TL;DR (Too Long; Didn't Read)
There are three different types of production systems: an assembly line or continuous production system, a batch system and a project or one-shot system.
Know Your Production Systems
There are three different types of production systems. An assembly line is a continuous production system: workers take the component of a car engine or electric oven and put them together, engine-after-engine in a steady stream. A batch system, sometimes called a job shop production process, produces a batch of product, then stops. It's typically used for specialty chemicals, tools or other items that don't need an assembly-line level of productivity.
If the production system produces one individual product, it's a project or one-shot system. For an example of production systems of this sort, consider a house, an oil painting or a yacht. Even if a builder erects dozens of houses a year, each house is an individual project.
Production Systems Make Changes
One characteristic all production systems have in common is that they take raw materials or components and transform them into a finished product. In economic theory, the labor of people in the production system and the money that keeps it all going count as part of what's transformed.
Production systems also involve flows of raw materials, equipment and even information, as there's usually paperwork involved. The limits on a production system include its capacity and the quality of the finished product.
Making Production Efficient
A small company or one-person shop may not need a formalized production system. A glassblower who works solo knows their system and doesn't have to explain it to anyone else. As a business grows and adds to its staff, analyzing and streamlining the production system becomes more important. Efficient production systems have several properties:
 - Everyone knows and supports the business strategy behind the production system.
 - The production system is well-documented, making it easier to train new hires and coordinate between different departments. The system is process-dependent, not person-dependent.
 - Everyone is accountable for the system's output, and everyone involved is capable of contributing to it.
 - Management handles changes to the production system effectively.
 - The company has a process in place for identifying best practices and duplicating them.

Dissimilarity-driven behavior and cooperation in the spatial public goods game
In this paper, we explore the impact of four different types of dissimilarity-driven behavior on the evolution of cooperation in the spatial public goods game. While it is commonly assumed that individuals adapt their strategy by imitating one of their more successful neighbors, in reality only very few will be awarded the highest payoffs. Many have equity or equality preferences, and they have to make do with an average or even with a low payoff. To account for this, we divide the population into two categories. One consists of payoff-driven players, while the other consists of dissimilarity-driven players.
The later imitate the minority strategy in their group based on four different dissimilarity-driven behaviors. The rule that most effectively promotes cooperation, and this regardless of the multiplication factor of the public goods game, is when individuals adopt the minority strategy only when their payoff is better than that of their neighbors. If the dissimilarity-driven players adopt the minority strategy regardless of the payoffs of others, or if their payoff is the same, the population typically evolves towards a neutral state where cooperators and defectors are equally common.
This may be beneficial when the multiplication factor is low, when defectors would otherwise dominate. However, if the dissimilarity-driven players adopt the minority strategy only when their payoff is worse than that of their neighbors, then cooperation is not promoted at all in comparison to the baseline case in the absence of dissimilarity-driven behavior. We explore the pattern formation behind these results, and we discuss their wider implications for the better understanding of cooperative behavior in social groups.

Rat Shooting Sport - Una nueva experiencia, un nuevo deporte. Tiro a la Rata.
© 2013 - RatShooting.com
 Exterminating common or sewer rats with fire arms as a leisure activity.
This is a new competitive sport that is a fusion of hunting an animal, which has a chance of survival, in a field, with the pertinent scoring provided by judges, together with the reflexes and calm required for competition target shooting, combined with stress relieving exercise, without forgetting about the health and environmental aspects
The main idea is to enjoy yourself in competition with others, without neglecting the aspect of controlling harmful rodents with a natural and effective method.
Individual or hunting in teams.
In the day-time version, the hunts are monitored by judges and they come to an end when all the rats have been eliminated from the field of action, or when they have got away through the holes made on the edge of the field for that purpose. If they do escape through the holes, they get into another area that is designed to catch and keep theme.
The judges count the animals shot and score the kills depending on the area of the field where they are shot. These zones are marked with the relevant scores before the hunt starts.
Important: There are different modalities for competitions between two teams, in a league, where there are sets of 5 hunts for each match. The winner is the team to win the best of the 5.
For individual tournaments, with everybody competing against everybody else, the winner of each match is the one that wins the best of three hunts and everybody carries their score forward until the end, when the final classification is decided on the number of hunts won and the number of animals killed.
The number of rats per hunt will depend on the organisation, championship or tournament.
Championships are played over a period of 6 months or more and tournaments can be one-day or weekend tournaments.
There is also a night-time version practised with infra-red goggles or under spot lights, using the same regulations as the day-time version.
Anybody with a firearms licence, or similar in the case of foreigners, may play.
The sport can be played as an individual or a team sport, depending on the rules governing each field.
For amateur or free hunters, both individuals and teams, the sets will be determined by the management of the field. The duration and price of the hunt will also vary, depending on the number of rats released into the field. The ideal number is 3 to 5 rats per player, all released at the same time.
I would like to call on everybody with a firearms licence, whether they have a gun or not, who takes part in other shooting sports or hunting to try this new exciting sport that has open season all year round at a very reasonable price.
The kind of gun of course, will depend on the legislation in force and the house rules of the shooting club or gallery, although several calibres can be used. The ammunition will be supplied by the shooting ground. Notice must be given of any special calibres. Comfortable clothing is recommendable.
The Management of the shooting grounds will require every participant or shooter to identify him/her self.
Held in an authorised and licensed shooting grounds, players may bring their own private guns, or they may hire a weapon from the club's armoury.
The hunting ground shall have a diameter of between 40 and 50 metres and marked with concentric rings worth different scores, like a target.
We are mainly interested in people with a communicative profile and team spirit who like extreme nature activities.
When you first come into this activity, you will be given a series of lectures/talks to ensure that the grounds operate properly.
An essential part of the training is to study the rat in depth to prevent any problems as this is team work.
The Staff of the grounds will work full time, but there may be free lance workers too, like the rat suppliers (trappers).
"Trappers": bearing in mind the large number of specimens required, this could be a well paid and interesting job for many people or companies. Trappers will be given a short training course to enable them to do their job.


Danganronpa 2 (PSV) - Review
By Karl Koebke, August 10, 2014
Eschewing the school setting from the first game, Danganronpa 2's tropical island setting features a whole new cast (for the most part). Sixteen students, with talents ranging from a budding chef to a Princess, have been dragged to this island by a strange rabbit-like robot called Usami. Surprisingly, there's nothing sinister in Usami's intentions, and although the students were drugged and dragged along against their will, they need only learn about each other in harmony in order to return home safe and well. This would make for a rather dull murder mystery title, but fortunately it isn't long before Monokuma shows his face, takes control of the island from Usami, and begins the killing games once again.
Once things finally kick off, the gameplay in Danganronpa 2 is similar to the first. During off days you can wander around the island and spend time with your classmates to learn more about them, with new areas opening up for exploration after each chapter. Learning about your classmates isn't just for exposition's sake; it also nets you 'hope' fragments, which you can trade into Usami for skills that will help during the eventual classroom trials. After a murder occurs you'll be tasked with looking for clues as to who the culprit is and the story will not move on until you have found everything necessary to proceed. The challenge comes from thinking about each clue you find so you know where to use it in the upcoming classroom trial.
The other half of Danganronpa 2's gameplay is centered around the aforementioned classroom trials. Clues you have collected become ammunition which you can use to try to disprove yellow colored statements or support blue colored statements made during arguments between your fellow students. The PlayStation Vita's touchscreen is perfectly matched for these sections and later in the game you'll make use of both the front and back touch pads to clear away white noise before firing off your "truth bullet". Incorrect use of the clues is punished by decreasing a life bar, which is meant to represent the level of trust your other classmates have in you. If their level of trust in you falls too low then they'll suspect that you're the killer and will vote accordingly (although you can quickly restart from the section that you failed).
Danganronpa 2 Review August 10 2014 5
Usually this gameplay set-up works well, but every now and then I knew the answer to the question being brought before the group but I couldn't get the correct combination of clue and statement to move things along. Sometimes I even had to resort to trial and error, which might be a failure on my part but perhaps also indicates poor gameplay design for certain sections. The failure scene should also be adjusted for certain scenarios. For example, it doesn't make sense for your classmates to vote for you if you've worked through all but the final details of the case. Why would they turn around and vote for you, simply because you had trouble with your closing arguments, in the full knowledge that such a vote would doom them all to death? In a game where the narrative is a vital component of the gameplay, more effort should be put into making sure that these sections, which remind you that you're playing a structured game, are blended into the background more seamlessly.
Classroom trials don't just consist of group-based debates, but are comprised of a number of other mini-games as well. Many of these are repeated from the first game with a couple changes and new minigames added in, but there are two major improvements I'd like to focus on. Firstly, while Hangman's goal is still pretty much the same, the new and improved version turns it into a puzzle game in which letters are floating along on the screen. You can pick up and drop any one letter in order to match up pairs of letters but must keep incompatible pairs from hitting one another as they will damage your health/trust meter. Secondly, Logic Drive is a brand new game where the player delves into their own mind in order to answer a series of questions. This mini-game takes the form of a snowboarding game on a cylindrical course, and later levels are actually quite challenging on the harder difficulty setting, but the questions being asked are always fairly obvious. Both of these additions help to bring an added layer of challenge to the series, albeit not one usually based on the murder mystery at hand.
Danganronpa 2 Review August 10 2014 4
The storyline is definitely the strongest part of Danganronpa 2, and that's largely because of the insane, unique characters and intriguing twists and turns in the narrative. Even in the very first case you find that things are never as they seem and I don't recall a single murder that played out exactly as I thought it would during the investigation. You'll often get an idea of how the crime occurred from the various clues you gather but they are always so intricate you'll likely never guess how the murder played out in its entirety. Part of the fun of the classroom trials comes from working through the case alongside other characters, piecing everything together. This feeling is heightened more and more as the main storyline of your classmates and their position in relation to events set up in the previous game is filled out. If you haven't played the first game then I highly recommend doing so, as numerous references are made to the events of that first title, but it's not necessary to have played Danganronpa to understand the thrust of events in this sequel.
Danganronpa continues to be one of the few video game series that legitimately makes me feel sad when certain characters die. All of the Ultimates are interesting - each having mastered a particular field and having an original background - that learning about them is one of the series' great strength. Thankfully, once you complete the main storyline other modes unlock that let you delve deeper into these characters that you've become attached to over the course of your playthrough.
Presentationally, Danganronpa 2 is much the same as its predecessor, which means lots of catchy music and dialogue scenes that are presented via character stills. The pop-up effect from the two dimensional props in each area you enter remain endearing, and I can appreciate the need to keep costs down, but I do hope future games become less afraid to use animated scenes because I feel the game could really benefit from more of them. There were, for example, a couple of key scenes in particular that would've been more impactful if they were animated.
Danganronpa 2 Review August 10 2014 3
It took me 31 hours to beat the main storyline of Danganronpa 2, but that's not all the game has to offer. Completing the main storyline unlocks three other modes. One of these modes casts the player as Usami as she tries to take down wave after wave of Monokuma's minions. This side mode is a good momentary distraction but is unlikely to hold your attention for long. The next mode is a novel set during the events of the first game, which is intriguing but also very heavy in reading compared to the main game. The third mode, however, is my favorite and the concept will be familiar to those who played the first game. In this mode the killing part of the "killing school trip" is taken out and replaced with simply managing your fellow students as they accomplish simple menial tasks. This gives you time to become friends with them and learn about every single one of your compatriots, in contrast to the main game which doesn't give you the time to do so before they're offed or caught having killed someone.
Danganronpa 2 is everything I had hoped it would be - a very high quality entry in a unique and fun series, one that I was able to experience this time without being spoiled by an anime adaptation - but it does start to show some cracks in the series' design. Despite that, I highly recommend it to anyone who owns a Vita and enjoys a good murder or two. Now let's pour out a forty on the Vita for the virtual friends we lost along the way*.

BBC News reports on research that indicates the component in peppers that makes them spicy, capsaicin, may kill cancer cells. At least in petri dishes.
Apparently capsaicin attacks the mitochondria in cancer cells but doesn't affect normal cells (the main function of mitochondria is to produce energy for cells). Researchers tested it in cultures of lung cancer and pancreatic cancer cells.
While the research doesn't indicate that eating spicy food will cure or prevent cancer, it couldn't hurt. Relatively speaking.
That reminds me. It's time to plant my Ghost Pepper and Trinidad Moruga Scorpion seeds. [Link]

The Air Force Eastern Test Range (ETR) is, in essence, a huge laboratory extending from the Florida mainland to the Indian Ocean. It is instrumented to collect, record, analyze and communicate data for missile and space missions. This is achieved through a variety of highly sophisticated electronic and optical techniques. It is the purpose of this paper to describe briefly some of this primary instrumentation which provides the highly precise metric data used in direct support of the operational mission, for Range safety and for postflight evaluation. The instrumentation and data accuracy problems will be explored together with the current methods of approach. General categories of errors will be defined, and the applications of error models and error budgets to the controlling of instrumentation accuracies will be presented. Methods of combining outputs of various instrumentation systems will be discussed with reference to the best estimate of trajectory. The general problem of instrumentation calibration is also considered, including the experimental design and the type of tests employed. The basic causes of accuracy degradation in the instrumentation systems are reviewed, including errors introduced in data handling and processing.

Many users are facing Gmail Server Error 007. The error usually occurs while sending mail to someone. The Gmail doesn't respond, and the user fails to send the message, and error is shown on the user's screen "server error encountered..". We have figured different causes of why the Gmail Error 007 occurs and ways to resolve it. So, you can look at the solutions mentioned below.
Howw to Fix Gmail Server Error 007
Don't worry; there are easy fixes to solve the Gmail server error 007. So, to fix the error, follow the below solutions:
1. Clear Cookies and Cache
Clearing the Cache and Cookies from Chrome is a straightforward process and can help you to fix Gmail Server Error 007. So, follow the below-given steps to clear out cookies and cache:
Step 1: At first, click on the three dots at the top, on the right side of your browser window. After that, click on Settings.

Step 5: At last, click on the button. Clear Data and then the Done button.
Now check if the Gmail error 007 resolves or not.
2. Disable Browser's Extensions
Extensions can cause the Gmail Server Error 007, in case you have installed extensions just before getting the error 007. Also, if you have not installed any extension, the already existing extension can cause failure. Maybe the extension needs to be updated. So, by disabling the extension, you can fix the error. Follow the below steps to fix error:
Step 1: At first, open your Google Chrome. Now, click on the three dots at the top, on the right side of your browser window.

Step 3: The last step is to Disable all your extensions.
Now, if the error resolves, it means one of the extensions is causing the Gmail Server Error 007.
3. Disable Background Send
Another reason for Gmail Server Error 007 is that 'Background send' is not disabled. Background send means even you have exited from your Gmail window; your account continues to send an email that may cause server error. So, to disable it follow the below easy steps:
Step 1: Start with Signing in your Gmail account.
Step 2: Now, click on the gear type icon present at the top on the right side of the window.
Step 3: Next is to click on Settings and then search for the Lab tab.
Step 4: Look for Background send and click to Disable it.
After looking at the reports sent in by the users, this solution usually works for 95% of the time, and then you can freely send any email to anyone in the world without the need to worry about the Gmail Server Error 007.
4. Check for Browser Update and Virus
Another reason for Gmail Server Error is viruses in your system. Virus degrade the performance of your system and also harm the system. So, it's better to scan your system regularly for viruses. Hence, you always need to have an Antivirus Program in your system to protect it from harm.
The browser also needs to be up-to-date. Thus, whenever an update is received, you should update your browser for its proper functioning. Although Chrome updates automatically, but make sure it is up-to-date. In the case of any other browser, go to the browser's settings window and look for a 'check for updates' option.
Tips to Solve "Oops… a server error occurred and your email was not sent. (#007)"
If you have tried all the above-mentioned methods and still you got nothing. These few google technicians have encountered cases when none of the previous remedies seem to work.
1. As mentioned above, you need to disable the "Background send" lab, and if you have already done it. You just need to wait some time for it actually to come into practice.
2. Moreover, you can also try to restart and refresh your web browser page to get rid of the error. The background sends lab settings that are actually disabled.
3. The executing files may or may not harm your computer. So, you should always check for any kind of bug or virus in the files. Nevertheless, make sure that the trojan you are dealing with is the Gmail error 007. There is a time when we have similar problems. But, they have different causes and solutions.
4. However, if you are able to use the same account that you are using on your PC to send emails but on some other device. Then this means that your Gmail is working perfectly fine, but there is some issue with your PC.
5. Make sure that you are sending an email to someone, and you have some attached files along with it. Make sure that its limit is under 25MB. Else, the mail will report an error.
How to Prevent Gmail Server Error 007
Not to mention, if this problem is not resolved even after following the above-mentioned steps, you need to ensure some additional safety measures for the proper functioning of this application on your PC.
1: Make sure that you are using the updated web browser because sometimes using an older browser may cause some problems.
2: In order for the smooth and fast working of your PC, you should definitely delete all of your cache and the cookies on your PC.
3: Moreover, you can also disable the add-ons present on your web browser along with the browser extensions.
4: After completing the above steps, you should close your browser and then try re-opening it.
5: Then, you can try to open the Gmail application without any labs.
6: Lastly, you should also make sure that your virus scanner is disabled. And if the 007 server error is gone after this step, you should try and contact the parent company of the anti-virus that is used on your computer, and they may guide you better regarding this error.
Gmail Server Error 007 can easily be resolved by following the above solutions. Also, try closing your browser window and relaunching it to fix the error. Some sites ask to install their software. However, this is not authentic, so do not fall off their trap. As there can be some Trojan or Malware in their software that may hack your server. This can delete your personal data or even access it. So, try to avoid such fake sites that make such claims.

As anyone who is serious about sports will know, health and safety is a vital part of enjoying sports safely. It is important to be aware of health and safety issues within sport to allow you to enjoy your workouts and sports effectively, without putting yourself or others in danger.
Within sports, health and safety can apply to both the equipment that you use and the way you use and look after your own body, so be aware of this before you embark upon a new sport or fitness regime.
With hockey, as with all competitive sports, being aware of and respectful of other players is imperative when you are playing. Following the rules and not putting other players in danger makes the game much more fun for everybody involved and means you are all at much less risk of accident or injury.
Knowing how to use sporting equipment is another important factor within sports and fitness. You might not necessarily need a manual handling certificate to play your favourite sport, but it is important to be aware of the basics.
If you are a real fan of a particular sport and want to coach or train others, then online health and safety courses related to sports will be especially useful for you. The last thing you want to do is put yourself or others in danger when you are coaching or training them in your favourite sport.
You will be able to do many of the necessary health and safety courses online but some training you may need to attend college for, or undertake practical elements. Whether you are interested in sports training or coaching or are simply a fitness fanatic who wishes to get the most out of your workouts, sports health and safety is an area which you simply can't afford to overlook.

- pretend (v.)
- late 14c., "to profess, assert, maintain" (a claim, etc.), "to direct (one's) efforts," from Old French pretendre "to lay claim," from Latin praetendere "stretch in front, put forward, allege," from prae "before" (see pre-) + tendere "to stretch," from PIE root *ten- "to stretch" (see tend).
Main modern sense of "feign, put forward a false claim" is recorded from c.1400; the older sense of simply "to claim" is behind the string of royal pretenders (1690s) in English history. Meaning "to play, make believe" is recorded from 1865. In 17c. pretend also could mean "make a suit of marriage for," from a sense in French. Related: Pretended; pretending.
- pretend (n.)
- "fact of pretending," 1888, from children's talk, from pretend (v.). Earlier in same sense was verbal noun pretending (1640s).

The Creative inventory is filled with a wide variety of items.
Items are objects which only exist within the player's inventory and hands - which means, they cannot be directly placed in the game world.
Behavior[επεξεργασία | επεξεργασία κώδικα]
Some items, when used, place a block or entity version of themselves into the game world. Put simply, they are an item when in the inventory, and a block when placed. For example, boats turn into an entity when placed, and beds turn into a group of blocks when placed. When selected in the hotbar, items briefly display their names above the HUD.
The only method by which items can be properly displayed within the game environment is with the use of item frames.
Items use item IDs, whereas blocks use block IDs.
List of items[επεξεργασία | επεξεργασία κώδικα]

History[επεξεργασία | επεξεργασία κώδικα]
December 31, 2009Added the inventory, and with it, the first "non-tile" items.
Notch was hard at work making items and the inventory fully functional.[1][2]
January 11, 2010Added the first functioning items: iron shovel, iron pickaxe, iron axe, and flint and steel.
Because the crafting system did not exist at this point, these items were automatically added to the inventory after creating a new world.[3]
Apples were added, but they currently serve no function.
January 22, 2010Can now place blocks on resource items
Dropped items now experience gravity.
January 24, 2010Can now drop a whole stack of items instead of just one at a time.
January 29, 2010Added crafting.
Right-clicking drops one of a stack.
Added the following items: diamonds (originally emeralds), iron ingots, gold ingots, sticks, bowls, mushrooms, mushroom stew, bows, signs, pickaxes, swords, shovels, and axes (iron, diamond, and golden).
January 30, 2010Crafting improved - now 36 recipes.
Official release
1.312w15aStackable items now stack outside inventory when thrown to the ground individually.
1.814w25aAll items are now models, some are still generated from item icons.
Resource packs can make models for all items.

Are there any means in xUnit.net framework similar to the following features of NUnit?
 [Test, TestCaseSource("CurrencySamples")]
 public void Format_Currency(decimal value, string expected){}
 static object[][] CurrencySamples = new object[][]
 new object[]{ 0m, "0,00"},
 new object[]{ 0.0004m, "0,00"},
 new object[]{ 5m, "5,00"},
 new object[]{ 5.1m, "5,10"},
 new object[]{ 5.12m, "5,12"},
 new object[]{ 5.1234m, "5,12"},
 new object[]{ 5.1250m, "5,13"}, // round
 new object[]{ 5.1299m, "5,13"}, // round
This will generate 8 separate tests in NUnit GUI
 [TestCase((string)null, Result = "1")]
 [TestCase("", Result = "1")]
 [TestCase("1", Result = "2")]
 public string IncrementDocNumber(string lastNum) { return "some"; }
This will generate 5 separate tests and automatically compare the results (Assert.Equal).
 public void StateTest(
 [Values(1, 10)]
 int input,
 [Values(State.Initial, State.Rejected, State.Stopped)]
 DocumentType docType
This will generate 6 combinatorial tests. Priceless.
Few years ago I tried xUnit and loved it but it lacked these features. Can't live without them. Has something changed?

xUnit offers a way to run parameterized tests through something called data theories. The concept is equivalent to the one found in NUnit but the functionality you get out of the box is not as complete.
Here's an example:
public void Should_format_the_currency_value_correctly(decimal value)
 //...
In this example xUnit will run the Should_format_the_currency_value_correctly test once for every InlineDataAttribute each time passing the specified value as argument.
Data theories are an extensibility point that you can use to create new ways to run your parameterized tests. The way this is done is by creating new attributes that inspect and optionally act upon the arguments and return value of the test methods.
You can find a good practical example of how xUnit's data theories can be extended in AutoFixture's AutoData and InlineAutoData theories.

There is no evidence of a comprehensive, comparative safety assessment of alternative flight paths by Sunshine Coast Council (SCC) and consultants; either before or after the emergence of the safety issue in 2013.
Who is benefitting from the rejection of the alternative flight path options? Why should they benefit when community safety is paramount?
Air Services Australia (ASA)'s reasons for dismissing other flight path alternatives have been ill-defined. ASA have relied on information presented by SCC, who chose to dismiss the alternative route for spurious reasons that had nothing at all to do with safety.
Further, ASA's decision to limit the scope of its 2019 assessment to only the EIS concepts presented in 2012 has compounded the failure to identify that there was a safety issue inherent in the proposed flight paths, as identified in 2013. This has resulted in a failure to adequately acquit the obligation to properly assess the merits of all safer alternatives.
SCC had a vested interest in the development of areas south of the airport and elected not to advise ASA of essential and relevant information. It is incomprehensible that issues which could affect aircraft and public safety were not shared.
In 2013, SCC should have taken the appropriately responsible action to reconsider their flight path concepts to avoid the inherent risks created by the direct overflight of an approved quarry.
Instead, SCC chose to ignore the safety risks and not to consider alternative flight paths. They continue to refuse to do so. Why?
Alternatives should never have been the subject of cursory rejections without proper comparative evaluation, particularly given the inherent safety risk appears peculiar only to the selected option.
These issues indicate an urgent need for a comprehensive and transparent reevaluation of alternative flight paths and a redesign of the airspace in order to accommodate safer flight path routes.

Bethesda, MD—As you decide what to get dad for Father's Day, you might want to consider what he gave you when you were conceived. If he smoked, your genes are likely damaged, and your odds for cancers and other diseases throughout your life could be increased. A new research report appearing online in the FASEB Journal, scientists show for the first time in humans that men who smoke before conception can damage the genetic information of their offspring. These inherited changes in DNA could possibly render an offspring in the womb susceptible to later disease such as cancer. This provides evidence showing why men should be urged to stop smoking before trying to conceive in the same way women have been urged to quit. Interestingly, a fertile sperm cell takes about three months to fully develop; therefore men would ultimately need to quit smoking long before conception to avoid causing genetic problems.
"That smoking of fathers at the time around conception can lead to genetic changes in their children indicates that the deleterious effects of smoking can be transmitted through the father to the offspring," said Diana Anderson, Ph.D., a researcher involved in the work from the School of Life Sciences at the University of Bradford, in the United Kingdom. "These transmitted genetic changes may raise the risk of developing cancer in childhood, particularly leukemia and other genetic diseases. We hope that this knowledge will urge men to cease smoking before trying to conceive."
To make this discovery, Anderson and colleagues used DNA biomarkers to measure genetic changes in the paternal blood and semen around conception, as well as maternal and umbilical cord blood at delivery in families from two different European regions in central England and a Greek island. Information regarding the lifestyle, environmental and occupational exposures of these families was taken from validated questionnaires. The combined analysis of exposures and DNA biomarkers was used to evaluate the role of exposures before conception and during pregnancy in the causation of genetic changes in the offspring. These results have strong implications for the prevention of disease.
"This report shows that smoking is a germ cell mutagen. If dad uses cigarettes, his kids will be affected even before they are born," said Gerald Weissmann, M.D., Editor-in-Chief of the FASEB Journal. "As Father's Day approaches, family members may want to give dads and prospective dads the help they need to quit smoking for good."

During each legislative session, legislators identify issues they want to study in more depth. They appoint interim committees to conduct these and other studies during the interims between sessions. The House and Senate leadership decides on who will be on the interim committees for the interim. Therefore, the members of the interim committees serve one 20 month term. The committees often invite experts to present information to them. Members of the public also get a chance to have their say.
Legislators use what they learn from the interim studies to make well-informed decisions about what bills to consider during the next session.
The administrative committees oversee management of the legislative branch of state government also meet during the interim.

What is a thread cutter?:
A thread cutter is a tool used in beadwork to cut beading threads of several types. They are usually circular in shape and have a blade set between two notched discs. They can be strung as a pendant.
What is it used for?:
A thread cutter is used for cutting beading threads. You can use a thread cutter to cut either gel-spun (fishing line-type) threads or nylon beading threads. They are generally used when cutting new lengths of thread rather than for finishing cuts because the shape and design of the thread cutter make it difficult to make precise cuts close to beadwork.
How do I use a thread cutter?:
To use a thread cutter, place your beading thread into one of the notches where the cutting blade is exposed. To cut the thread, pull it tightly over the blade until it cuts.
Where can I buy a thread cutter and how much do they cost?:
Thread cutters can be purchased from most sewing and craft supply companies and stores. Some local bead shops also carry thread cutters. A thread cutter is an inexpensive tool, costing around $5.
- Great for travelers or frequent fliers because it can be taken on most aircraft in the United States
- No risk of cutting fingers on the recessed blades
- Easy to cut thread
- Can also make a pretty pendant
- Not suitable for making close finishing cuts of thread because the shape makes it difficult to get close to the beadwork
- Blade cannot be resharpened or replaced, so the entire unit must be replaced when the blade finally wears out

"Science-Based Management in Practice: an example with native prairies"
Tuesday, January 24th, 2012
Native prairies managed by the USFWS in the Prairie Pothole Region are extensively invaded by introduced cool-season grasses, smooth brome (Bromus inermis) and Kentucky bluegrass (Poa pratensis). Management to suppress these invasive plants has had poor success, mainly for insufficient understanding of prairie restoration ecology and absence of systematic evaluation of management effects. In partnership with the USFWS, we developed an adaptive decision support framework to assist managers in selecting management actions under uncertainty and maximizing learning from management outcomes. Decision making under this framework is adaptive, as monitoring feedback increases understanding of the system and in turn determines the path of future decision making. Refuge-specific data provided by cooperators reduces uncertainty across the whole region, allowing individual land managers to receive updated decision guidance that incorporates understanding gained from the collective experience of all cooperators. This model-based decision making approach merges science and management in a tangible way that is well-suited for many fish and wildlife applications.

Talent ID
Remove the relative age effect by changing players' shirt numbers
The relative age effect is widespread across many sports. It refers to the consistent findings whereby junior sport teams (typically representative teams) are populated by players born earlier in the year, or soon after the cut-off date for a particular sport. In other words, coaches and selectors more often than not select older players to play in the best teams.
Why does this matter?
Well, imagine this scenario. A girl born in January is 11 months older than a competitor. Consequently, she is bigger and stronger, and dominates her age group. She gets a scholarship into an academy and is provided with the best coaching services available. Unbeknown to everyone, her competitor, the girl 11 months her junior, actually possesses the same level of skill. But due to the fact she is younger, she is less developed physically, and cannot dominate her age group during the younger years. As a result, she is overlooked for a scholarship.
Removing the relative age effect should therefore be a priority for sports authorities.
A novel strategy to remove the relative age effect
David Mann and Pleun van Ginneken tested three methods to reduce the relative age effect in junior soccer. Talent scouts were divided into three groups that varied in the information that they were provided about the soccer players who they watched:
 1. Provided with NO information about the players age
 2. Provided with the players' age
 3. Provided with knowledge that the players shirt number corresponded to their relative age (i.e., number 1 = oldest player)
 - The relative age effect was present regardless of whether the talent scout was told the player's age (i.e., Groups 1 and 2 above).
 - The relative age effect was eliminated when talent scouts were made aware that the players' shirt number corresponded with their relative age (i.e., Group 3 above).
Concluding message
Manipulating player's shirt numbers so that oldest players wear the lowest numbers is an effective strategy to make coaches and talent scouts aware of players' age. Indeed, simply telling a scout the age of a player was not enough to remove the relative age effect.

Bank plays important roles in the economic life of a country particularly a developing nation through the provision of banking services. As agent of development, they provide loans and advance including a variety of contingent facilities, which could either be short term or long terms. This explains why credit guidelines contained in governments monetary circulars stipulate aggregate causing on credit creation as well as the sectionals avocation which bank other financial institution must comply with during a fiscal year.
In recent time, banks have witnessed a phenomenal growth in term of loans in their portfolios and the need to finance industrial project in line with the nation's rapid growth industrialization.
Some of the facilities generally provided by bank included: short term finance, medium term finance, long term finance building / mortgage wars advance against produce etc.
When banks are providing these kinds of facilities and some others, they are exposed to some risks. Lending has some other are exposed of some risks lending has become a vital function inn banking operations because of its direct effect on economic growth and business development.
Though a banker is expected too exercise consideration skill, use his experience techniques in analyzing credit proposal and assessing the risks, it has been established from experience that unforeseen situation sometimes affect the borrowers ability to pay and this has banks to insure themselves in case the unexpected happens by demanding some form security.
Securities and perfection are particularly relevant to our situation in this country. Bad debts simply means loans or facilities granted to a customer but cannot be recouped by the bank from the customer after all efforts it has been intensified.
1.1 STATEMENT OF THE STUDY
In the years past it has been observed that undocumented unperfected loans accounted mainly for the couapsed near couapse of many bank both in Nigeria and abroad (First –bank of Nigeria Bi journal Vo1. 6 1998 December)
1.2 OBJECTIVE OF THE STUDY
The objectives of this study banks plays important role in the economic life of a country particularly a developing nation through the provision of banking services. As agent of development, they provide loans and advance including a variety of contingent facilities, which could either over be short term or long term.
1.3 RESEARCH QUESTION
The research questions of this study were borne out of the huge debts which come about as a result at bank liability to realize the security pledged due to poor credit documentation and perfection. The questions therefore are:
What are the affects of poor credit documentation on bank credits? What are the types of acceptance securities and documentation procedure for the purpose of lending? What are the various types of method adopted for debt recovery? What should bank do when they notice any sign credit becoming doubtful?
1.4 STATEMENT OF HYPOTHESIS
The research hypothesis employed for verification is stated below:
HO There are a lot agitation on the significance of good securities to and bank lending prior to this write –up some bank customers complained that their bank deprived them from financial assistances in time of need for investment purpose due to their inability to procedure reasonable counteracts not minding their wing standing good record with them,
In the same vein bank also in them bitter experiences in loan reconciler argued their position even securities are taken for loan and advances.
1.5 DEFINITION OF TERMS
This section embraces a brief explanations on specific terms not of common usage that appeared in the body of the work such terms includes.
Credit this term used for an amount of money granted by bank calendar to a customer (Borrower) in form of loan and advance in order to finance capital.
Perfection: - This is the process of investigating the trade owner of a security, its documentation and obtaining the governors consent (incase of legal mortgage)
Documentation: - This is the term used in obtaining security in the legal form and the process of recording, perfecting and security.

Security; this term denotes property pledge by a borrower as a means of guarantee for the credit grantee e.g lends shares e.t.c
Default: - This term sued when a borrower fails to fulfill his obligation or when he fails to repay the amount granted to him as credit.
Debenture; it denote an instrument issued by a company or individual acknowledging the indebtedness at a stated time with interest there of.

For the first part, we're being asked to calculate the solubility of Mg(OH)2 in 0.160 M NaOH. Since the compounds are ionic compounds, they form ions when dissociating in water. The dissociation of CaF2 and NaF in water are as follows:
Magnesium is in Group 2A so its charge is +2. Hydroxide is a polyatomic ion (OH–) so its charge is –1:
Mg(OH)2(s) ⇌ Mg2+(aq) + 2 OH–(aq)
Sodium is in Group 1A so its charge is +1. Hydroxide is a polyatomic ion (OH–) so its charge is –1:
NaOH(s) → Na+(aq) + OH–(aq)
Notice that there is a common ion present, OH–. The common ion effect states that the solubility of a salt is lower in the presence of a common ion.
We can construct an ICE table for the dissociation of Mg(OH)2. Remember that solids are ignored in the ICE table.
Based on the given value of the Ksp, what is the molar solubility of Mg(OH)2 in 0.160 M NaOH? Express your answer with the appropriate units.
Calculate how many times more soluble Mg(OH)2 is in pure water.
Based on the given value of the Ksp, calculate the ratio of solubility of Mg(OH)2 dissolved in pure H2O to Mg(OH)2 dissolved in a 0.160 M NaOH solution. Express your answer numerically to three significant figures.
Ksp = 5.61×10−11.
