 Bungalows in the Inman Parkneighbourhood of Atlanta, Georgia, United States.
Neighbourhoods of only bungalows offer more privacy than similar neighbourhoods with two-story houses
Havelis were large, walled compounds with mansions, courtyards and fountains where as colonial bungalow where large single storied structure with a pitched roof, and usually set in one or two acres of open ground.

Recognizing the need for a conservation management program for the Bladen Nature Reserve (BNR), the Belize Foundation for Research and Environmental Education (BFREE) was founded in 1995 with the primary purpose of developing and implementing a conservation program for the BNR. To achieve this goal, BFREE acquired a 1,153 area privately protected area and established a biological field station strategically located in the foothills of the Maya Mountains at the gateway to BNR and bordering four national parks and reserves.
Working with multiple stakeholders, BFREE conducts a wide array of conservation activities both within the BFREE privately protected area and in neighboring reserves. BFREE has increased awareness of the Bladen Nature Reserve and the greater Maya Mountains by highlighting their conservation value and biological significance to ensure this tropical wilderness is recognized as a core conservation area within northern Central America and is preserved for future generations in its undisturbed and natural state.
BFREE's mission is, "to conserve the biodiversity and cultural heritage of Belize."
The field station is situated on a 1,153 acre private reserve; access is a 10-km unpaved road that requires passage through the Bladen Nature Reserve. The land borders four protected areas: the Bladen Nature Reserve, Cockscomb Basin Wildlife Sanctuary Deep River Forest Reserve, and Maya Mountain Forest Reserve. All are part of the larger Maya Mountain Massif which includes 16 protected areas covering almost 2 million acres of continuous tropical forest. The land sits approximately 60 meters above sea level on a rich alluvial soil matrix and is covered entirely in a tropical broadleaf rainforest. Habitats include a variety of tropical forest types and aquatic ecosystems. The average tree canopy height is about 25 meters with emergent trees reaching 45-50 meters. Ancient Mayan archeological sites are found at BFREE; including house mounds and a terraced hillside nearby. The biodiversity found at BFREE is exceptional and shares many of the same characteristics as the Bladen Nature Reserve.
As the only field station in this biologically significant area, BFREE seeks to achieve its mission by successfully integrating scientific research, environmental education, and conservation to help conserve the Maya Mountains, one of the last remaining unspoiled wilderness areas of its kind.
BFREE promotes and facilitates scientific research onsite, within the Bladen Nature Reserve, and other neighboring protected areas. Working collaboratively with international and local partners, BFREE implements both short and long-term research and monitoring programs with a focus on building capacity within Belize. In addition, BFREE offers content-specific learning experiences that often challenge individuals to step outside of their comfort zone. These courses range in length from one week to a full semester and are structured to encourage participants to actively engage with and appreciate their natural environment. Partnerships include research and educational institutions, conservation organizations, government agencies and businesses.

Much in the same way as Direct3D 12, Vulkan binds most of its resources using descriptors. The way in which this is done is a bit different, however.
A descriptor like in Direct3D 12 is not a CPU-visible object. It is an opaque object that is completely hidden from the user. Updating an individual descriptor will require a descriptor set, a call to
vkUpdateDescriptorSets and specification of an index.
The largest difference in terms of resource descriptors is related to the method of updating: The descriptors in Direct3D 12 are bound to the root signature, and the root signature can be updated in-flight. However, any descriptor set update invalidates all command buffers currently using that descriptor set. This means descriptor sets in Vulkan are to be much more carefully constructed in Vulkan as binding a new set of textures in Vulkan will either require a new descriptor set, or dynamic indexing in the shader.

The College Student – Grandparent Connection
Grandparents are everywhere! According to U.S. Census information, more than one in every four adults in the United States is a grandparent. Most of those grandparents are Baby Boomers in the 45 to 64 year age range. That means that most college students in the United States are likely to have at least one grandparent in their life. The trends indicate that this number will continue to grow over at least the next decade and that American grandparents will be playing a central role in the lives of their grandchildren and their adult children.
The MetLife Report on American Grandparents is based on a nationwide survey of adults aged 45 or more who have grandchildren under the age of 25. This survey highlights some information about today's grandparents and at least some of the connections that they have with their college aged grandchildren.
- 63% of those surveyed said that they are giving some type of financial assistance or monetary gifts to their grandchildren.
- 70% are giving less than $5000 and the median amount is $3000.
- 26% of those surveyed are contributing to their grandchild's education
- 68% of those surveyed said they are not giving any financial advice or guidance to their grandchildren.
- Of those grandparents helping with educational costs, 46% said they are contributing to an educational fund and 24% are helping fund a college education (others may be helping with preschool, elementary or high school costs).
- Those grandparents most likely to financially help their grandchildren are women, those with more education and those with higher incomes.
These statistics give one important snapshot of a relationship between college students and their grandparents. It is clearly an important piece. When the connection between college students and grandparents is discussed, the topic is overwhelmingly around the ways in which grandparents can best financially help their college student – how much to contribute, when to contribute, how to contribute.
We know that this financial connection is important. However, it is important that college students, their parents, and their grandparents remember that there are many important ways, beyond the financial aspects, that grandparents and students can, and should, be connected. Grandparents want to help their grandchildren, and passing on their knowledge and wisdom is an important way to help.
Because most grandparents are not responsible for the day to day support of their grandchildren, not so caught up in daily details, they may be more easily able to recognize the adult that their grandchild is attempting to become. They can maintain open lines of communication and provide an important support system and sounding board for their grandchild.
We've written an earlier post about specific ways that grandparents can be involved in the lives of their college-student grandchildren. Please read our suggestions and consider how you can help your college student's grandparents to be involved, and how you, as a college parent, can encourage your student to reach out to grandparents.
The wider your student's safety net and support system extends, the better your student's chances of success.


text: This paper assumes that an arrival order lot may contain some defective items, and the number of defective items is a random variable. We derive a modified mixture inventory model with backorders and lost sales, in which the order quantity, the reorder point and the lead time are decision variables. In our studies, we first assume that the lead time demand follows a normal distribution, and then relax the assumption about the form of the distribution function of the lead time demand and apply the minimax distribution-free procedure to solve the problem. We develop an algorithm procedure to obtain the optimal ordering strategy. Furthermore, the effects of parameters are also included.

(FTI) provides for improved
searching of a Lotus Notes/Domino database. As issues with the FTI
are encountered, the troubleshooting steps below will offer a general means
of offering relief.
Confirming a Full-Text Index Error
An indication of an error or issues encountered with a FTI may include
FTI errors in the local or server log as well as errors when performing
a Full Text search. If encountered, appropriate actions should be
taken in order to resolve the issue.
Full-text Index Errors
offers a broad listing of errors encountered with FTI's.
Understanding the Scope
An essential focus point to resolving any FTI-related issue is to understand
the scope of the impact. A general breakpoint is determining if the
impact is isolated to a single database or if the scope includes all full-text
indexes created by a Lotus Notes client or Lotus Domino server.
Single Database Errors
Often, single database FTI errors are easily resolved by deleting
the current FTI
a new FTI
. If recreating
the FTI for the impacted database does not resolve the issue, please ensure
that the query is understandable and does not conflict with the reserved
words as defined in "Full-text
Should you find that your query is appropriate and recreating the FTI does
not offer relief, please proceed to Eliminating Other Potential Issues.
Multiple Database Errors
If multiple databases are impacted, attempt to recreate the FTI for any
of the databases. If errors are encountered upon the deletion or
subsequent creation, ensure that an anti-virus solution is not interrupting
the ability to successfully complete the FTI recreation. If this
is not the case and multiple attempts to recreate multiple FTIs fail, a
reinstallation of the Lotus Notes or Lotus Domino, dependent on the location
of the error occurrence, installation is required as the FTI DLLs may be
Should you find that a reinstallation of the Lotus Notes client or Lotus
Domino server not offer relief, please proceed to Eliminating Other
Eliminating Other Potential Issues
When initial troubleshooting techniques have proven no relief in FTI issues,
a subsequent step is to address potential corruption of the database for
with the FTI was created. This is achieved as follows:
1. Run Fixup
against the impacted database. Subsequently run Updall
-X against the impacted database as well.
2. If the issue is not resolved, create a new
replica of the impacted database. Using the new replica, attempt
to create a FTI.
3. If the issue is not resolved, copy the design
of the impacted database and create a new database with the design copy.
Once the documents from the old database have been copied over, attempt
to create an FTI with the new database.
Should you find that the recommended corruption resolution steps have not
offered relief, please proceed to Support Assistance.
If none of the recommendations in this full-text index troubleshooting
guide have offered relief for the full-text issues that have been encountered,
please contact Lotus
prepared to provide the following information so that a support engineer
can assist with the issue in the most efficient manner:
- The version of Lotus Notes or Lotus
Domino that the FTI issues have been reproduced on.
- The Operating System where Lotus Notes
or Lotus Domino is installed.
- The error message that is displayed
either in a Lotus Notes client dialogue or in a log file.
- The operation that produces the error,
- The size of the database that
is producing the error as well as an OS-level copy of the database, if

Column is a data store object or an index object for fast search.
A column belongs to a table. Table has zero or more columns.
Both data store column and index column have type. Type of data store column specifies data range. In other words, it is "value type". Type of index column specifies set of documents to be indexed. A set of documents is a table in Groonga. In other words, type of index column must be a table.
Here are data store columns:

text: OpenGL's texturing capabilities are discussed in detail in Section 6. These capabilities can be put to work to solve image processing problems. By texturing an input image onto a grid represented as geometry, we can apply arbitrary deformations to the image. Given the textured draw rates of OpenGL implementations that accelerate texturing in hardware, very impressive performance can often be achieved though the use of textured geometry. Image processing applications using texturing are discussed in Section 13.4.

Animal Control Bill
S, 2192, An Act Further Regulating Municipal Animal Control
Signed by the Governor on August 2, 2012. The law took effect 90 days after it was signed, Oct. 31, 2012.
Summary of the new law:
 - Reduces the number of homeless animals in the Commonwealth through a statewide spay/neuter program and will, in turn, also reduce the cost to cities and towns for housing and sheltering these animals. This is funded by a voluntary tax check off.
 - Requires Animal Control Officers to receive training. People are often surprised to learn that their local animal control officer is not required to receive training for the complicated work they do to keep the people and animals in their community safe. This is funded by the tax check off.
 - Prohibits carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide gas as a means to "euthanize" dogs and cats.
The law creates some statewide oversight for animal control, which previously did not exist in Massachusetts; create categories for kennel licensing; create consistency in the holding time for stray dogs and provide other meaningful updates to the state's antiquated animal control laws. A House amendment added some restrictions on the tethering of dogs (Ch 140 sec. 174E).
Why were these changes needed?
Many of the laws that govern animal control date back to the 1800s. Quite simply, the laws did not address the current state of animal control in our municipalities, which are no longer based on the county system. The fines are outdated, as is the term "dog officer"; "animal control officer" more accurately describes the role fulfilled. These proposed changes were made to Chapter 140, sections 136A through 174D to update and make the animal control laws more efficient, current and effective. They will also save cities and towns money. At the beginning of every legislative session, many bills are filed to address a section or issue relating to animal control. For years, organizations, individuals, and legislators have been seeking a more comprehensive revision; this law is the result of stakeholder meetings since 2005 to rework the sections in Chapter 140 relating to animals.
The Animal Control Officers of Massachusetts (ACOAM), the Massachusetts Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (MSPCA), the Animal Rescue League of Boston the state's Bureau of Animal Health within the Department of Agricultural Resources and the Massachusetts Veterinary Medical Association (MVMA) worked together to draft these changes.

text: You probably saw some rising happen in the straws containing Control dough. This is because flour is a starch. Starches contain glucose, a form of sugar (this is why a saltine cracker tastes a little sweet if you let it sit on your tongue for a while; the enzymes in your saliva break the cracker starch down into glucose and other simpler molecules). So even though you didn't add any sugar to the Control dough, it already contained some for the yeast to munch on. However, because the amount of sugar in this dough was much less than in the others, less carbon dioxide could be made by the yeast in this batch and the dough couldn't rise as much in comparison.

In this tutorial you will learn how to create a Windows Forms Data Source from an Entity in an Entity Data Model. This tutorial assumes that you have installed the World example database, which can be downloaded from the MySQL Documentation page. You can also find details on how to install the database on the same page. It will also be convenient for you to create a connection to the World database after it is installed. For instructions on how to do this see Section 220.127.116.11, "Making a Connection".
Creating a new Windows Forms application
The first step is to create a new Windows Forms application.
In Visual Studio, select File, New, Project from the main menu.
Choose the Windows Forms Application installed template. Click OK. The solution is created.
Adding an Entity Data Model
You will now add an Entity Data Model to your solution.
In the Solution Explorer, right-click your application and select Add, New Item.... From Visual Studio installed templates select ADO.NET Entity Data Model. Click Add.
You will now see the Entity Data Model Wizard. You will use the wizard to generate the Entity Data Model from the world example database. Select the icon Generate from database. Click Next.
You can now select the connection you made earlier to the World database. If you have not already done so, you can create the new connection at this time by clicking New Connection.... For further instructions on creating a connection to a database see Section 18.104.22.168, "Making a Connection".
Make a note of the entity connection settings to be used in App.Config, as these will be used later to write the necessary control code.
The Entity Data Model Wizard connects to the database. You are then presented with a tree structure of the database. From this you can select the object you would like to include in your model. If you had created Views and Stored Routines these will be displayed along with any tables. In this example you just need to select the tables. Click Finish to create the model and exit the wizard.
Visual Studio will generate the model and then display it.
From the Visual Studio main menu select Build, Build Solution, to ensure that everything compiles correctly so far.
Adding a new Data Source
You will now add a new Data Source to your project and see how it can be used to read and write to the database.
From the Visual Studio main menu select Data, Add New Data Source.... You will be presented with the Data Source Configuration Wizard.
Select the Object icon. Click Next.
You will now select the Object to bind to. Expand the tree. In this tutorial, you will select the city table. Once the city table has been selected click Next.
The wizard will confirm that the city object is to be added. Click Finish.
The city object will be display in the Data Sources panel. If the Data Sources panel is not displayed, select Data, Show Data Sources from the Visual Studio main menu. The docked panel will then be displayed.
Using the Data Source in a Windows Form
You will now learn how to use the Data Source in a Windows Form.
In the Data Sources panel select the Data Source you just
created and drag and drop it onto the Form Designer. By
default the Data Source object will be added as a Data Grid
View control. Note that the Data Grid View control is bound to
cityBindingSource and the Navigator
control is bound to
Save and rebuild the solution before continuing.
Adding Code to Populate the Data Grid View
You are now ready to add code to ensure that the Data Grid View control will be populated with data from the City database table.
Double-click the form to access its code.
Add code to instantiate the Entity Data Model's EntityContainer object and retrieve data from the database to populate the control.
Save and rebuild the solution.
Run the solution. Ensure the grid is populated and you can navigate the database.
Adding Code to Save Changes to the Database
You will now add code to enable you to save changes to the database.
The Binding source component ensures that changes made in the Data Grid View control are also made to the Entity classes bound to it. However, that data needs to be saved back from the entities to the database itself. This can be achieved by the enabling of the Save button in the Navigator control, and the addition of some code.
In the Form Designer, click the Save icon in the Form toolbar and ensure that its Enabled property is set to True.
Double-click the Save icon in the Form toolbar to display its code.
You now need to add code to ensure that data is saved to the database when the save button is clicked in the application.
Once the code has been added, save the solution and rebuild it. Run the application and verify that changes made in the grid are saved.

ABACO PARROTS & CHICKS
A 2012 BREEDING SEASON PICTURE GALLERY
Time to write some more about Abaco's most famous bird, the unique ground-nesting Amazon / Cuban parrot sub-species that makes Abaco its home, and breeds in the pine forests of the Abaco National Park in the south of the island. You'll find lots of information and photos on the dedicated page ABACO PARROTS.
This post covers the 2012 breeding season, and highlights the success of scientist Caroline Stahala and her team in helping to secure the future of these rare endangered birds. The population had shrunk to around 2500 (or fewer) some years ago. More recently it had risen to 3000. An intensive conservation program, including anti-predation measures, has proved effective; and a systematic ringing program has enabled the team to keep a close eye on recovering parrot numbers. Caroline says that the population is now in the region of 4000, confirming an encouraging reversal of a dismal decline towards extinction for these beautiful birds.
The parrots breed only in the pine forest, where they nest in quite deep holes in the limestone rock. This makes the nests and the areas round them vulnerable to predation from feral cats and rodents etc; but conversely it offers protection from the forest fires that would destroy tree nests.
The parent parrots share feeding and care duties
The chicks / fledglings stage are ringed so they can be identified – see ABACO PARROT CHICKS
By coincidence, as I was producing the post above, Craig Layman at THE ABACO SCIENTIST was also ruminating on the topic of Abaco parrot breeding. He posted the comments below, which raise the very interesting question whether the Abaco parrots, with their increased population, may be starting to breed outside the National park. Caroline can probably answer this (see COMMENTS), but does anyone have any direct evidence to suggest a wider breeding habitat? I guess there would need to be a suitably pitted rock structure for the nests, and an absence of the usual catand rat-type predators that one might find nearer human populations. Answers welcomed via the comment box…
(Sort of) A Bahama Parrot Study
Posted by laymanc 26 Nov 2012
It isn't really much of a study, but the only "science" I have been able to do over the last week with the continued turbidity of nearshore waters.
The Bahama parrot (more information HERE and HERE) is one of the iconic Bahamas animals, and the main factor behind the establishment of the ABACO NATIONAL PARK in southern Abaco. But my study has been conducted instead from my desk in Little Harbour. My main finding is simple: the range of the parrot has clearly expanded; it has now been a full calendar in which parrots have been in the area. Just a few days ago two dozen were squawking around the harbour. The key will be whether they begin nesting here as well – I havent heard reports of that yet. But if they do, the expanding nesting range will substantially increase long term viability of the parrot on Abaco. That ends my first ever Bahama parrot study (I really need more time in the water when I come back).

Legs are the foundation of all humans – you stand on it every day. ;) Manga legs range from detailed and buff to generic, simplified lines. Simplified legs being the norm. Below is a row of legs in the front view. The first leg is typical, showing the simplified version I mentioned. Notice how the middle is practically straight and has no curves while the outer edge is just the opposite. The second example, on the other hand, has curves at both sides of the leg. Taking a closer look, the legs are shaped like cylinders with one end slightly wider than the other end from hip to knee, from knee to ankle.
At side and back view, the same idea applies. The back view of the leg tends to have dashes | / \ | indicating the back of the knee. You can also do the same at the front using one or two dashes except reversed | \ / |.
One important aspect about legs that you must keep in mind is when it is against another object whether if it's a chair or it's own self, the leg tends to widen out. The muscle gets pushed to the side or upwards depending on the situation. Above and the one below are three of such examples.
Top: Leg pushing up on itself.
Middle: Leg resting on chair.
Bottom: Leg against itself and on the floor.

Essentially Ada's protected objects encapsulate data and operations, and the operations then have automatic mutual exclusion. Guards can also then be placed on these operations for condition synchronization.
They used to be called protected records because the data is like a record structure.
You have protected procedures and protected entries and protected functions. What's the difference?
- Function for just reading data.
- If you don't need any conditions satisfied apart from mutual exclusion use a procedure.
- Otherwise use an entry.
The example he gave was a bounded buffer, where he needed to use entries for
put because it needed to make sure the buffer was not empty/full respectively.
Entries are declared similarly to a procedure, except the start of it looks like:
entry Get (Item : out Data_Item) when Num /= 0 is
Looks a bit like Erlang guards really. Note that the barrier/guard is evaluated under mutual exclusion as well.
Calling a protected object is how you would expect. Something like:
Which will now block indefinitely until you can put that data. Wow, this is exactly what the
Chute package uses for
Get_Ball(). So this is interesting:
If you want a timeout, you can use a
select My_Buffer.Put(Some_Data); or delay 10.0; -- do something else end select;
You can also use
else instead of
or delay x which is essentially like
or delay 0.
There is a
'Count attribute for Entries which maintains the number of tasks queued on the entry.
There are a couple of different examples in the slides of using all this:
- Resource Control
- Broadcast (broadcast to everyone queued on an entry, uses 'Count)
Private Entries and Entry Families
Tasks can have private entries; entries that can't be called from the outside. The Ada 'requeue' operation uses them, but we wont deal with that yet.
A family of entries is a way of declaring an array of entries with simple declarations. Sounds a bit odd. The example given was a multicast system (as opposed to the broadcast example) where you have different groups and an array of
Booleans that are used as guards. The body of the example is in the slides and isn't too complicated.
What can't protected objects do?
- The reason most people tend not to allow functions to be executed in parallel (apparently) is because protected objects are usually used to pass data around; and so code should be as short as possible. Therefore there's no real need to have functions run in parallel.
- The Ada Runtime environment thing disallows blocking operations inside protected objects to encourage you to write code as short as possible. It can detect this at compile time or run time;
Program_Error. So for example you can't use a delay statement, or task creation or activation or a select statement or an accept statement. That kind of thing.
- A call to an external protected procedure/function is not considered potentially blocking. Apparently there's some reason for this, but he said we'd find out another time.
The Readers and Writers Problem, again
You may think that because Ada allows parallel reads that the Readers and Writers problem is simple because the runtime system can take care of it. However:
- The reading and writing may require you to access the disk which will block you, and you're not allowed to do that in a protected object.
- Even if there isn't, you can't control the order of the read and writes.
Therefore you have to use the same theory we used with standard monitors last time, which is to define an access control protocol for the read and write operations rather than encapsulate them in the protected object.
Full code detail is in the slides. The implementation basically uses a protected object only for
Control, which is essentially a high level way of obtaining and releasing read/write locks by using commands like
Protected Objects, good or bad?
- They are elegant
- They are efficient
- They aren't object oriented
- Ada's protected objects give structured mutual exclusion and high-level synchronization using barriers (guard clauses).
- Protected procedures have read/write lock.
- Protected functions have read lock.
- Protected entries have read/write lock and can have conditions (barriers) associated with them.
You should (exam?) be able to compare these with Java synchronized methods.

Analysis of European style copper lamp
by：EME LIGHTING 2020-01-23
Modern European style; Also known as neoclassical style;. Modern European-style all-copper lamp design style, from simple to complicated, from the whole to the part, finely crafted, inlaid with flowers and gold, gives a meticulous impression. On the one hand, it retains the general style of all-copper lamp materials and colors, making people feel the historical traces of stealing tradition and the rich cultural heritage. At the same time, it abandons the overly complicated texture and decoration of all-copper lamps and simplifies the lines. The modern European style of copper lamps is more like a diversified way of thinking, combining the romantic feelings of nostalgia with the needs of modern people for life, compatible with luxury, elegance and fashion, it reflects the personalized aesthetic viewpoint and cultural taste in the post-industrial era. 1, the shape is scattered; It is the main feature of modern European copper lamp style. While paying attention to the decorative effect, modern techniques and materials are used to restore the classical temperament of all-copper lamps. The neoclassical style all-copper lamps have both classical and modern aesthetic effects, the perfect combination also gives people spiritual comfort while enjoying material civilization. 2, stress style, all copper lamps in the design is not antique, nor retro but the pursuit of similarity. 3. Use simplified methods, modern materials and processing techniques to pursue the general outline characteristics of traditional all-copper lamps. 4.

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

- What are the patterns, enablers, obstacles and outcomes of international movement for researchers?
- How do these patterns, enablers, obstacles and outcomes vary for researchers around the world?
RAND Europe conducted a survey of researchers worldwide on their experiences with visiting or relocating to other countries for research-related purposes. The survey covered 2,465 respondents from 109 countries. It was commissioned by the Wellcome Trust on behalf of the international Together Science Can campaign, and supports the campaign's work to celebrate and protect international collaboration in science.
Over three quarters of respondents had moved to live in another country for research training or work at some point during their career. More senior researchers tend to travel more frequently. Nearly all respondents stated that research benefits from researchers visiting or moving to other countries. They perceived that international movement had helped in forming collaborations and developing ideas, skills and expertise, but can also present challenges on a personal level. Reported barriers to international movement included access to funding, family responsibilities, lack of information about jobs abroad and visa-related obstacles. Respondents who were nationals of African and Asian countries generally encountered more obstacles to international movement than those from North America and Europe.
- Three quarters of survey respondents have moved to live in another country for research purposes.
- Career progression and international movement are correlated.
- Students or those training to be researchers are the least likely to visit other countries for research purposes.
- Europe is a particularly mobile and connected research community.
- Respondents raised concerns about the effects of political developments, including the UK's decision to leave the EU and changes in the US political climate.
- International travel and relocation are costly, and financial support is an important enabler of international movement.
- African and Asian researchers are more likely to receive support from a funder than from their institution.
- Visa requirements do not prevent most researchers from travelling, but visa applications can be prohibitively time consuming, complex and costly.
- Researchers from Asia and Africa are much more likely to have visa-related challenges, particularly for short-term visits.
- Family-related challenges are the most frequently cited obstacle to international relocation.
- African researchers and those who have not moved previously are more likely to cite lack of information about jobs abroad as an obstacle to movement.
- Many internationally mobile researchers have not faced travel obstacles; European researchers reported the fewest obstacles to travel, while African researchers reported the most.
- International movement can have negative outcomes for individuals.
- Nearly all researchers — whether they have experienced international movement or not — believe that international movement is important for research.
- Researchers of all nationalities stated that international movement boosts research outcomes by forging new collaborations and developing ideas, skills and expertise.

Autumn walks in wooded parks bring tree leaves in focus. Even though the leaves are dead, they can still present questions and answers about the evolutionary processes that brought them forth. Consider, for example, the shapes of these tulip poplar (Liriodendron tulipifera) leaves I picked up during a walk near my house the other evening.
I had never noticed before that the shapes of tulip poplar leaves were so variable. I am sure there are other shapes that I missed. These are the ones I noticed and picked up while trying to carry on a conversation on unrelated subjects with my wife. If I had paid any more attention to the leaves, she would have kicked me in the butt.
Can all or some of these variants be found on one tree or does each tree produce only one type of leaf? Does the shape of a leaf change during its growth? What is the functional significance of the leaf shape? Obviously, a leaf with fewer or smaller lobes would have a larger surface area for catching sun light than an equally long and wide leaf with more or larger lobes. These leaves were along a circuitous path no longer than about 2 miles, but the actual distances between the trees the leaves came from were much shorter than that. So the general environment of all the trees was the same. But, perhaps, the microhabitat of a tulip poplar determines the shapes of its leaves.

Do you know the watch case production flow? It can be divided into Alloy case, Stainless steel case and so on.
Watch Case Production Flow
At present, the domestic market case by brass, copper alloy, steel, tungsten steel case.
1.Alloy case: Generally speaking, the processing technology is simple, the production cycle is short, the output is large, the price is low, and the development in recent years is relatively rapid. But because of its water resistance, wear resistance, corrosion resistance and many other aspects of the lack of large celebration activities rarely used, generally used in beer, beverages and other aspects of the promotion. It belongs to middle and low price watches.
2.Brass Case: shell has the advantages of easy processing, beautiful appearance, good waterproof performance, surface wear and corrosion resistance and other advantages. Many manufacturers use them more. Its moderate price is also its advantage. Belongs to the high, middle class watches.
3.Steel case: general processing complex, output is small, the price is high, its performance is better than that of alloy shell and shell, generally used for high-grade electronic watches and mechanical or automatic mechanical watches. It belongs to high-end watches.
4.Tungsten steel case: machining difficult, not easy to wear, and with a sapphire watch, Japan movement, tungsten steel watchband. This watch is usually a high-end electronic watch.
Now most factory is the first line of cutting embryo assigned, if the guest to return after OK to mold the embryo
Embryos are divided into fine embryos and rough embryos. After the fine embryo comes back, it can only be processed very little, and some can be milled in rice,
There is a hole in the screw. And the rough embryo doesn't need me to explain
The processing process of a watch case is divided into three parts:
1. Machine processing, that is, cutting, cutting, including the car, milling, drilling, and now more popular CNC processing technology. Highest technical content
2.The mill is mainly used to machine mill processing, the appearance of grinding is the core technology of high-end table. Asking for experience.

Backtrader: Data Replay
One of the reasons backtesting often does not provide an accurate indication of real-world performance is that we receive a large chunk of information all at the same time. Specifically, the open, high, low and close data for a given time period. As such, we are missing important information about what happened between the open and the close. We know the highs price reached but we don't know how it got there. Was price action volatile? Was it a steady climb? Did price hit the lows first? The higher the timeframe you trade on, the more information you are missing. This is where replaying data from a lower time-frame can help add an extra layer of realism to your backtests (assuming you can find the lower time-frame data). Replaying data works in a similar fashion to re-sampling but with one key advantage. The lower time-frame data that you are using to create the higher time frame candle is used to paint a picture of what happened between the open and close. For example, you can work on the daily timeframe but also know that price dipped before reaching the high of the day by replaying minute data. Another benefit is that replaying data addresses an issue some of you may have encountered where both a stop loss and a take profit are hit on the same bar. This is usually due to a large volatile movement in one candle. The reason they can be both triggered is that the engine has no idea if the take profit was hit first or the stop loss. It only knows that price crossed both of the thresholds during that bar. When replaying data, this will not happen as one will be triggered first as the bar is built. As with everything, replaying data is not without its downsides. There are some added complexities introduced and things to be aware of when replaying data. Therefore, I think tackling these points is where this post can add some value.
Official Docs
The good news is, getting setup and replaying data is very straightforward. The official documentation gives some good examples and can be found here:
Candles are built with each tick of the lower time-frame
The first thing you need to be aware of when replaying data is that candles are built gradually. If you are referencing theHighLoworclose of a candle, the values can and will update with every tick of the data. Replaying data ticking through the day This might appear to be obvious when written down but it is easy to overlook. Especially if you are used to working on a higher time-frame and of reference[0]. This is because…
Next() is called on every tick of the lower time-frame
The next()method is called every time a bar on the input data is replayed. For example, if you replay data on the daily time-frame and using minute data, next()will be called every minute. The example image above was created by just printing OHLC data on each call ofnext(). Since next()is called so many times, we cannot simply run a script written for a higher timeframe. We must first add a few lines that prevent us from making entries/exits as the candle forms. More on that in a bit.
Bar numbers/data length only increase on when a bar is complete
In Backtrader, you can easily find out which bar number you are looking at by callinglen( Usually, (when not replaying data) the bar number will increase with each call ofnext(). However, when replaying data, it will only increase when each bar on the higher timeframe is complete. This allows you to identify when a bar is complete and a new one is starting. This also means that referencing the index position[-1] will return a full bar's worth of OHLC data for the candle that has just closed on the higher timeframe. On the other hand, referencing the index position [0] will only return data for a tick of the lower time frame. As mentioned above, it is a constantly evolving value with every call ofnext().
Identifying when you have a new bar
The following is a simple example of the next() method that can be copied into your own strategy to determine when to take actions on the higher timeframe.
 def __init__(self):
 _TAG_ tracking HTF
 self.last_bar = len(self)
 def next(self):
 bar = len(self)
 _TAG_ we are not in a new position and we have a bar on HTF.
 if not self.position and bar > self.last_bar:
 self.last_bar = bar
As you can see it is pretty straightforward. We are just checking whether the current bar is greater than the last bar recorded. Since self.last_baris recorded with every tick, bar will only be different to self.last_baron the first tick of the new bar. Furthermore, you can reference index [-1]to get the full OHLC of the most recent full bar since it will only be called once per bar.
But I want the work on the last tick of the bar
If you prefer to work from the last tick of the bar, then you will need to have a counter. With each call of next, increase the counter by one. Then once a new bar is identified, reset the counter. You can then perform actionsif self.counter = x:. For example, if you are replaying minute data on the hourly timeframe you could perform an action every time the counter == 60.

TracajŠ Turtle, Sideneck Turtle, Yellow Spotted River Turtle, Amazon River Turtle, Taricaya Scientific Name: Podocnemis unifilis
An immensely large turtle, the Yellow-Spotted Amazon River Turtle averages between 14 and 27 inches in carapace length. The olive green, brown, or gray carapace is a very high carapace with a raised ridge, known as a keel, in the middle. The plastron, or underside of the shell, is usually yellow and may have dark blotches. The Amazon River Turtle's head is quite long with an obvious snout. The head is marked with yellow spots on the gray, olive, or brown skin. Most Yellow-Spotted Amazon River Turtles have a barb on the chin and some specimens have two such barbs. Female Amazon River Turtles are much larger than males. The shell of both males and females has a groove next to the front leg, between the two halves of the shell, into which the turtle places its head when threatened.
Yellow Spotted Amazon River Turtle turtles health information
Breeding Yellow-Spotted Amazon River Turtles have a mating season that lasts several months. The mating season depends on the region in which the turtle lives. When courting, the male turtle nips at the female's feet, swims around her and curls his tail around her shell. He then injects semen from his cloaca into hers. Several weeks after copulation, the female Amazon River Turtle lays a clutch of between 15 and 25 eggs in a nest. The babies hatch after about two months of incubation into hatchlings about the size of a quarter. The hatchling turtles have very vibrant yellow markings and are preyed upon by many types of animals. The sex of the babies depends on the temperature of incubation; if incubated at temperatures below 90 degrees Fahrenheit, males will result, if above 92 degrees, the progeny will be female.
Natural habitat of Yellow Spotted Amazon River Turtle turtles
Generally found in the lagoons and backwaters of South America
What do Yellow Spotted Amazon River Turtle turtles eat?
The Yellow-Spotted River Turtle feeds primarily on fruits and vegetables, although they are omnivorous in captivity.
Yellow Spotted Amazon River Turtle behavior and personality
The Yellow-Spotted Amazon River Turtle is sometimes known as the Sideneck Turtle, Yellow-Spotted River Turtle, Amazon River Turtle, or Tracaja Turtle. They are found in the Amazon rainforest and are quite large. They are rarely kept in captivity because they are highly threatened in the wild. The Yellow-Spotted Amazon River Turtle is generally found in the lagoons and backwaters of South America. During the mating season, they will move to rivers and streams. They are aquatic animals, meaning they very rarely venture onto land, and they usually feed on aquatic vegetation. The Yellow-Spotted Amazon River Turtle enjoys spending time basking in the sun. If their basking spot is threatened by other turtles, they will bite and nip, though usually the confrontation is not serious. Yellow-Spotted Turtles are highly vulnerable to predators because they are side-necked turtles. This means that, instead of pulling their head and neck into the shell as other turtles do, they tuck the head and neck sideways under the edge of their shell.
The origin of Yellow Spotted Amazon River Turtle turtles
History of Yellow Spotted Amazon River Turtle turtles
While once quite common, the Yellow-Spotted Amazon River Turtle is rapidly decreasing in numbers in the wild. They are found in swamps and tributaries along the Amazon and Orinoco Rivers in South America, including Venezuela, northern Brazil, and Surinam. Although the huge sizes of their native habitats are capable of supporting large numbers of turtles, they are regularly hunted not only for food, but also for their shells, their eggs, and oil. They are also dying out because the water levels of their homes are rising because of river navigation and hydroelectric dams. The Yellow Spotted Amazon River Turtle is sometimes called the Taricaya. This name is related to the kechwa verb "tariy", meaning "to find". Perhaps this name was chosen because these turtles were very abundandt in the past.


Question: Can I Own A Tiger In California?
Pets you can't legally own in California.
California has some of the strictest laws in the nation on animal ownership.
Some of the animals, such as the tiger, are exotic and no-nos for the obvious reasons, yet it's not illegal to own them in other states.
10 Exotic Pets That Are Legal to Own in California
 - Hybrid Cats. These exotic pets which are actually technically domesticated—perhaps more so than a common non-pedigree cat—are legal in most states depending on their percentage of so-called wild genetics.
 - Zebras.
 - Monitor Lizards.
 - American Bison.
 - Second Generation 'Wolfdogs'
 - Large Constrictor Snakes.
 - Toucans.
 - Camels.
What states can you own a tiger?

Can you own a meerkat in California?
Yes, you can technically own a meerkat as a pet. Actually, most species that are available and survive in captivity can be privately owned.
What pets are illegal in California?
5 Popular Animals that are Illegal as Pets in California

Língua do Pê, or P Language, is a language game spoken in Brazil and Portugal with Portuguese. It is also known in other languages, such as Dutch and Afrikaans. (Wikipedia)
There are some dialects in this language game. The different languages the game is played with even have their own unique dialects. Some people are fluent in speaking P Language and the best can even translate any text to their preferred dialect on the spot!
In this challenge, we will use the Double Talk dialect.
To translate text into P Language, any sequence of vowels in the text is appended with a single
p character followed by a copy of the sequence of vowels.
Write a function or program that accepts a string as input and outputs its translation in P Language.
- The input consists only of printable ASCII characters.
- The output consists only of the translated input and optionally a trailing newline.
- Vowels are any of the following characters
- A sequence of vowels is delimited by any other character. The string
"Aa aa-aa"has three vowel sequences.
- Leading and trailing whitespace may optionally be omitted from the translated output string.
"" => "" "Lingua do Pe" => "Lipinguapua dopo Pepe" "Hello world!" => "Hepellopo woporld!" "Aa aa-aa" => "AapAa aapaa-aapaa" "This should be easy, right?" => "Thipis shoupould bepe eapeasypy, ripight?" "WHAT ABOUT CAPS?" => "WHApAT ApABOUpOUT CApAPS?" " Hi " => " Hipi " or "Hipi"
The double quotes character
" is used to delimit the input and output strings in the examples but obviously this character may also appear in any valid input string.

1. Using the example of the cement company (C) and the laundry (L), explain what outcomes result when the cost of installing filters (for L) is $20,000, the pollution damage from the cement dust is $15,000, and the cost of new precipitator technology (for C) is $10,000. Consider all three rules for assigning property rights.
NO FILTER FILTER
PRECIPITATOR C: $100,000 C: $100,000
PRECIPITATOR L: $40,000 NOT
C: $90,000 RELEVANT
Rule 1: C has the right to pollute.
Since L can raise his profits by $15,000 when C installs the precipitator at a cost of $10,000, L must bribe C to put in the precipitator by offering him a side payment of more than $10,000 but less than $15,000 (say $12,500). Why? Because both L and C can be better off (i.e. have higher profits) when they voluntarily negotiate this solution.
Rule 2: L has the right to be paid compensatory damages.
C will voluntarily install the precipitator in order to avoid the payment of damages.
Rule 3: L has the right to petition for an injunction against C to cease and desist polluting.
C will be indifferent between voluntarily installing the precipitator and going to court and being forced to install the precipitator (if court costs are positive this will induce C to voluntarily install the precipitator)
Notice several things: (1) the efficient solution has been reached in all three cases; (2) C is the low cost avoider of pollution and installs the precipitator in all cases.
Rule L C Surplus L C
1 $25K $100K $5K $27.5K $102.5K
2 $40K $90K $0K $40K $90K
3 $40K $90K $0K $40K $90K
2. Using the notions of property rights and present values, explain how the following policies would affect the deforestation of the Amazon:
a. Suppose that there are no land taxes and a nature lover X wants to establish a wildlife sanctuary in the Amazon. After careful study X purchases a choice plot of land for $500. This piece of land will yield $100 a year from visitors for 10 years when the interest rate is 10%. Is it worthwhile for X to purchase this land?3. Explain why the clear-cutting of trees (cutting down all the trees) is a practice often used on public lands but very rarely on private lands. Under what circumstances would clear-cutting be a rational strategy?C = Cost of Land = $500b. Assume a farmer is contemplating the purchase of some farm land in the Amazon rainforest which is very cheap. He knows that he can get $50 a year in crops for five years. If the interest rate is 10% what price will he be willing to pay for this land?
PV = $100(AF[n=10, i= 10%]) where AF = Annuity Factor
PV > C so it is worthwhile to purchase this land as long as the owner has full property rights to the land and can enforce them. (This means he will be able to collect and keep the full $100 each year.) The rainforest will be protected in this case.
(1) Now assume that X must pay a 10% tax on the value of the land every year because it is unimproved. Will X purchase this land now?
Tax = $500(0.1) = $50/Year
C = Cost of Land = $500
PV = $50[6.145] = $307.25
PV < C so it is not worthwhile for nature lover X to purchase this land.
(2) Now assume a farmer Y is willing to purchase the land for $350 after figuring that he will be able to earn $100 a year for 5 years when the interest rate is 10%. He knows that his taxes on the value of the land will be reduced to 1% (a 90% reduction). Will farmer Y be willing to purchase and develop this land?
Tax = $350(0.01) = $3.50
C = Cost of Land = $350
PV = $96.50(AF[n=5, i=10%])
PV > C so it is worthwhile for the farmer to purchase this land and clear it. But he will move on after 5 years because nutrients in the soil will be exhausted after 5 years and he will seek another site to develop.
Result: Deforestation of the rainforest. Note that this land would not have been developed in the absence of the tax break for developed land. Note that the land is being used in a lower valued use because the tax discourages the higher valued activity (because it leaves the forest in an undeveloped condition). The example here is taken from real life. See "How Brazil Subsidizes the Destruction of the Amazon" The Economist, March 18, 1989, p. 69 for further details.PV = $50(AF[n=5, i=10%]) = $50(3.791) = $189.55c. Suppose the farmer knows that property rights are not very secure in the Amazon rainforest and that he will really only be able to get $20 a year in crops (the other $30 will be stolen). What price will he offer for the land now?PV = $20[3.791] = $75.82d. Daniel Benjamin writes that "the absence of secure property rights threatens forests by deterring investments in irrigation, terracing, and soil enrichment." Explain why this leads to the clearing of more land in the Amazon rainforest. (Hint: What happens to agricultural yields?)If the farmer faces insecure property rights (as in part c.) he will not be able to reap the full benefits of his investment in the land (others will free-ride on his investment by stealing) so he will under-invest (and in the extreme case not invest at all) in the maintenance of the productivity of the land. As a result of this under-investment, the productivity of his land will rapidly diminish (yields will fall), causing him to abandon the land and move on to another site to develop.e. A rancher is tempted to buy some land and raise some cows on it in the Amazon rainforest. He knows that annual revenues from ranching would be $1,000 a year for 5 years when the interest rate is 10% and that initial setup costs will be $3,000 plus annual costs of $300 for 5 years.(1) Will this rancher go ahead with this project?
C = Cost of the Land = $3,000
PV = $700(3.791) = $2,653.70
PV < C so the rancher will not buy this land.
(2) Suppose the government grants the rancher a 75% tax credit on all his costs. (Note: This effectively lowers the rancher's costs by 3/4.) Will he set his ranch up in the Amazon now?
C = $750
PV = $700(3.791) = $2,653.70
PV > C so the rancher will buy this l;and for cattle grazing and clear it. Result: Deforestation.
Note: Deforestation would not have occurred in the absence of the subsidy because the cost of ranching in the Amazon is too high to make it economical. It is the subsidy that makes it economical.
Using property rights concepts, we can reason as follows: public lands are not owned by anyone so that they will be treated as commons. This means that any trees that one company does not cut down (to allow them to grow into more mature and profitable trees) will be cut down by another company. In this situation, it makes sense for all companies to cut down all the trees they can as fast as they can. The result is clear-cutting. Such methods are unnecessary on private lands because the owner can exclude non-owners from cutting down his trees. This implies that an owner can postpone cutting down some trees to allow them to mature and will replace any trees that are cut down. Such results are possible when the owner can reap the future stream of benefits from the maturing and newly planted trees.4. The following questions concern the issue of takings:
Basic Note On The Economics of Trees
When young trees are growing, they grow very rapidly. Assume that such trees add 10% of their biomass per year. That means that a young tree is adding 10% of its value per year. If the interest rate is 7.5% then it does not pay to cut the tree down and put the money in the bank. However as trees mature they grow at a slower rate. Suppose that in 10 years, the tree is growing at a rate of 5% per year. Now it does pay to cut the tree down because the foregone value of the uncut tree is higher than the rate at which the tree gains in value.
a. Is the optimal dollar-value of takings positive or zero?
The text would argue that the optimal amount of takings is positive. The text's argument is based on the idea that a taking can be efficiency enhancing (i.e. there are net benefits from exercising the taking power). For the complete argument see the text and the argument developed in lecture.
b. Does your approach to the problem of takings depend on how many public goods there are
