Sissinghurst: An Unfinished History (Text only)
Brand/Author: Nicolson, Adam
Format :Ebook (ePub)
Publisher :HarperCollins Publishers
Price: Rp309,100
A fascinating account from award-winning author, Adam Nicolson, on the history of Nicolson's own national treasure, his family home: Sissinghurst.Sissinghurst is world famous as a place of calm and beauty, a garden slipped into the ruins of a rose-pink Elizabethan palace. But is it entirely what its creators intended? Has its success over the last thirty years come at a price? Is Sissinghurst everything it could be?The story of this piece of land, an estate in the Weald of Kent, is told here for the first time from the very beginning. Adam Nicolson, who now lives there, has uncovered remarkable new findings about its history as a medieval manor and great sixteenth-century house, from the days of its decline as an eighteenth-century prison to a flourishing Victorian farm and on to the creation, by his grandparents Vita Sackville-West and Harold Nicolson, of a garden in a weed-strewn wreck.Alongside his recovery of the past, Adam Nicolson wanted something else: for the land at Sissinghurst to live again, to become the landscape of orchards, cattle, fruit and sheep he remembered from his boyhood. Could that living frame of a mixed farm be brought back to what had turned into monochrome fields of chemicalised wheat and oilseed rape? Against the odds, he was going to try.Adam Nicolson has always been a passionate writer about landscape and buildings, but this is different. This is the place he wanted to make good again, reconnecting garden, farm and land. More than just a personal biography of a place, this book is the story of taking an inheritance and steering it in a new direction, just as an entrepreneur might take hold of a company, or just as all of us might want to take our dreams and make them real.

Fog settled over the battlefield, the air for now sucked dry of magic. The Debruans would surely strike again soon. Gors sheathed his blade for the moment. He would need it later but not now.
Bog had seen war since he was a small boy. He had not lived to be so old by making rash decisions. But Gors knew that the veteran's advice would not help him today.
In the distance pillars of fire burst from the ground. The fiends were summoning more imps. The imps would not stay in Rhyfell long. Just long enough for the battle, before their essence started to break down. Gors' soldiers had captured imps in the past. After a day or two they would become completely mad, their mind back in Debrua, lost.
The fire was proof that the fiends had lost none of their strength. Gors could see his men's shoulders slump at the sight. The defence had lasted days and it would need to last many more if help did not arrive.
Behind him lay the Bridge of Light. It used to be at the heart of his lands. Today it was their front line. The Keep of Serma lay beyond the Bridge. It was their home. Gors would never let war come to that place.
Next to Bog stood Glan, Gors' twelve year old son. The boy held a blade just like the other men, but he was the future lord of this land. It was because of him that Gors could not abandon this Bridge.
The Bridge of Light was built by The Guardian. It provided a way over the ice lake from the mainland to the Isle of Serma. Even Debruans could not cross the ice lake without the Bridge. The Bridge of Light was the only way the Sermits could reach the rest of the world. If the Debruans took it they would all be trapped and eventually would die. Not even the Guardian could save them if the Bridge of Light were to fall.
The Bridge of Light always amazed Gors. It was more than just a pathway from Serma to the rest of Rhyfell. It was more even than a form of protection against the Debruans' magic. It was also beautiful. Two white towers stood at each end and an enormous arch, the Heart of the Bridge, marked its middle. Shining like white fire it was a beacon of hope in the bleak landscape that surrounded it. It was the one ray of order in a time of chaos and Gors would die before abandoning it.
"There is no help coming," Bog whispered. He did not want to destroy what courage the men had left. The old veteran knew that Gors would not back down.
"The Guardian will come," Gors spoke confidently. "This will be the last time we face the tide." The men nodded, trying to cheer in agreement. Yet Gors could see in each one of their eyes that they did not believe.
Gors looked at Glan. The boy showed courage to the end. Gors wished he could send his son back to the keep but that would break his men. And the keep would not save his son.
"Ready the men to form ranks. We hold our ground here," Bog nodded at Gors' order. The men drew their swords, loyal to the end.
Gors stopped at the sound of his son's voice.
"Form ranks my son. This is the way I have chosen. Our hopes lie with The Guardian now." But young Glan did not move.
"We destroy the Bridge," was all that the boy said. Gors paused as all the men looked to him. For the first time in days they had hope in their eyes.
"No," Gors couldn't give up the bridge. It was madness.
"Listen to your son. He is wise beyond his years," Bog whispered to his lord.
Gors opened his mouth to order the men to take arms, to defend the Bridge of Light once more, but no words escaped his lips.
Bog nodded and withdrew. He informed the Sermit warriors that they would withdraw to the Keep of Serma.
Glan simply nodded, tears forming in the youth's eyes, though his face remained carved of stone. He turned and joined the men, crossing the Bridge of Light, one last time.
Gors wept as his son left. In the distance the Debruan horde was beginning to charge. He stood and grabbed a torch from the ground, and strode away from the carnage and onto the Bridge. As he reached the Heart he could see his son leading the last of the soldiers onto the Isle of Serma. Gors lit the Heart and watched it flare into a brightness that meant Gors could see nothing else.
The fire filled Gors' lungs, but he did not feel pain. His body would be cleansed and he would depart for Kematia, the Afterlife, with his essence pure. And there he would be content to rest and wait until he was reborn.


Logistic regression demands numeric variables. Thus don't even consider using text-based data types for your variables if you would like to run Logistic Regression. Logistic Regression may be used just for binary dependent variables. It is different than Linear in a number of ways. You should do this because it's only appropriate to use a binomial logistic regression if your data passes'' seven assumptions that are necessary for binomial logistic regression to supply you with a valid outcome.
Regression is a technique of doing analysis. Logistic regression is named after the function used at the crux of the procedure, the logistic function. It is just the opposite. For example, it is often used in epidemiological studies where the result of the analysis is the probability of developing cancer after controlling for other associated risks. Geographic weighted regression is one particular technique to cope with these kinds of data.
Linear regression finds application in a wide variety of environmental science applications. It is commonly used when the response variable is continuous. It's analogous to multiple linear regression, and all the very same caveats apply.
Otherwise, you might want to investigate a different algorithm rather than Linear Regression. Reinforcement learning algorithms attempt to discover the best methods to earn the best reward. It's a linear classifier, meaning that decision boundary is linear. Again, you can want to use algorithms that may handle iterative learning. It's an optimization algorithm that's popular for parameter estimation.
Since you can see, we're likely to use both categorical and continuous variables. The other variables appear to enhance the model less even though SibSp has a very low p-value. Then it will enhance the parameter estimates slightly and recalculate the chance of the data. If you aren't sure of the best parameters, you can get the perfect parameters by specifying a number of values and utilizing the Tune Model Hyperparameters module to get the best configuration.
When minimizing the cost function means we will need to make large, and when we would like to make large as explained above. The function is going to do an automated search. After the model function isn't linear in the parameters, the sum of squares have to be minimized through an iterative procedure. The update function may be used to fit the exact same model to unique datasets, employing the argument to specify a new data frame. When you've sourced the above mentioned function in R, you may seamlessly proceed with using your trained model to produce predictions on the test collection.
The outcomes are disappointing the majority of the moment, so the statistical theory was not erroneous! It's a great deal more interesting to critique the results visually, at least while the range of features is limited to two. It's also wise to consider who you're presenting your results to, and the way they're likely to use the info. Make sure you can load them before attempting to run the examples on this page. A great instance is Weka, where you are able to increase the memory for a parameter when starting the application.
There are many procedures of numerical analysis, but all of them follow a similar set of steps. Thus, the regression analysis is popular in predicting and forecasting. It can be used to get point estimates. You may also think of performing a sensitivity analysis of the number of data used to fit 1 algorithm in comparison to the model skill. A review of the data can be seen on page 2 of this module.
All regression models function as a way of explaining real world phenomena. The logistic model is not as interpretable. Thus a superb model should create a huge log-likelihood. In that scenario, the linear model just isn't viable, and you must use a logistic model or a different nonlinear model (like a neural net). It's sometimes feasible to estimate models for binary outcomes in datasets with just a little number of cases employing exact logistic regression.
Our problem is going to be the simplest of all categorization complications, a binary categorization. It will help to solve classification issue. As such it's a classification issue. It turns out that this is a comparatively simple classification problem because 0 and 1 digits have a tendency to appear very different. L2-regularized problems are usually simpler to solve than L1-regularized because of smoothness. In this instance, the issue becomes a linear program. Nonetheless, there are problems where the data is quite large and the preceding options aren't going to cut it.
The use of the regularizer is to encourage simple models and prevent overfitting. Apart from the typical linear and nonlinear procedures, in addition, there are different algorithmic approaches, which may be used as the box prediction approaches for the aims of classification and regression. Sometimes it can be the sole intention of the analysis itself.

Integrated Pest Management Notification
Neal F Walsh Jr.
Director of Facilities and Transportation
neal_walsh@elanco.org
The Eastern Lancaster County School District uses an Integrated Pest Management (IPM) approach for managing insects, rodents, and weeds. Our goal is to protect every student from pesticide exposure by using an IPM approach to pest management. Our IPM approach focuses on making the school building and grounds an unfavorable habitat for these pests by removing food and water sources and eliminating their hiding and breeding places. We accomplish this through routine cleaning and maintenance. We routinely monitor the school building and grounds to detect any pests that are present. The pest monitoring team consists of our building maintenance, office, and teaching staff and also includes our students. Pest sightings are reported to our IPM Coordinator, who evaluates the "pest problem" and determines the appropriate pest management techniques to address the problem. The techniques can include increasing sanitation, modifying storage practices, sealing entry points, physically removing the pest, etc.
From time to time, it may be necessary to use chemicals to manage a pest problem. Chemicals will only be used when necessary and will not be routinely applied. When chemicals are used, the school will try to use the least toxic product when possible. (Applications will be made only after normal school hours.) Notices will be posted in these areas 72 hours prior to application and for two days following the application.
Parents or guardians of students enrolled in the school may request prior notification of specific pesticide application made at the school. To receive notification, you must be placed on the school notification registry. If you would like to be placed on the registry, please notify the District in writing to the attention of Mr. Neal Walsh at 669 E. Main St., PO Box 609, New Holland, PA 17557. Please include your e-mail address if you would like to be notified electronically or a telephone number where you can be reached between the hours of 8:00a and 4:00p.
If a chemical application must be made to control an emergency pest problem (e.g. stinging insects), notice will be provided by telephone to any parent or guardian who has requested such notification in writing. Exemptions to this notification include disinfectant and antimicrobial products; self-contained baits placed in area not accessible to students; and the process of getting bait placed in cracks, crevices, or voids.
Each year the District will prepare a new notification registry.
If you have any questions, please contact Mr. Neal Walsh, Director of Facilities, at (717) 354 -1596.

Should you consider a prenup or postnup?
On behalf of Butler Giraudo & Meister | Jul 18, 2013 | Family Law |
When it was announced that media mogul Rupert Murdoch and his wife, Wendi, were ending their marriage, many assumed that the divorce would be long and messy. However, it was soon reported that the couple not only had a prenuptial agreement, but they also had at least two postnuptial agreements. A postnuptial agreement is essentially the same thing as a prenuptial agreement only it is entered after the marriage has already taken place.
Like prenuptial agreements, postnups can help to protect personal assets and income in the event of a divorce. They can be useful in situations where a couple didn't have time to enter a prenup before the marriage or when circumstances changed during the marriage. For example, Murdoch and his wife entered a new postnup after both of their daughters were born.
According to a survey by the American Academy of Matrimonial Lawyers, 51 percent of divorce attorneys reported seeing an increase in postnups from 2009 to 2012. Family law experts say that the repeal of the Defense of Marriage Act and new state laws recognizing same-sex marriage could also lead to a rise in prenuptial and postnuptial agreements.
As one family law attorney recently explained to USA TODAY, many same-sex couples may choose to enter postnuptial agreements after tying the knot in order to dictate how "property that otherwise would have been deemed separate" should be divided in the event of a divorce. They might not have wanted to postpone the wedding in order to create a prenup, but that's where the postnup comes in, another attorney said.
The attorney said postnuptial agreements are also common among couples who have had problems in their marriage but have decided to give it one more shot. The agreement lets each spouse know what a property settlement would look like if they marriage should not last. Additionally, the attorney said postnups are often used when one spouse receives a large gift or inheritance that he or she wants to keep separate.
If you think a prenuptial or postnuptial agreement would be of value in your marriage, talk to an experienced family law attorney in your are for more details.

Hello! My name is Cas. I tend to like a lot of things and hate a lot too. I am obsessed with music. Almost any kind of music will do, but I love reggae and island music. My ukulele is like an extension of me. I play everyday (even though I am not that great at it.) I love to draw and write stories, even read the ones that come highly recommended. I love HP and anime and manga. On a side note, Studio Ghibli is amazing. Working there would be a dream come true one day. Oh and Joe Hisaishi is a genius. Pure genius. Don't know who he is? Go look him up. I am sure most of us have heard his music before. Anyways, shoot me a FR if you want ^^ Oh and if you play the ukulele hit me up! I need to learn some new songs and wouldn't mind sharing my song library with anyone.


Mother's are often expected to be a superwoman, juggling roles as a mom, a wife, a cook, a housekeeper, and a caregiver for the elders, and many others. By learning ways to become more efficient in performing household chores, moms can also have time to take care of themselves, and enjoy more precious moments with their loved ones.
Scout for ready-made cabinets, shelves, and drawers that fit the kitchen and serve as storage for various items. If you have the budget, you can hire a custom-maker of cabinets and a kitchen organizer, so that slots and nooks can be created to address the family's unique makeup – for example, families with small children who want sharp objects in hard-to- reach places, or those who want to maximize a small space. This way, the arrangement of objects will be intuitive, and there will be less temptation to mess it up. Other members of the family must also be taught to respect the order of things, as their contribution to keeping the house tidy.
sauce or soup thickener. Ingredients like garlic or onions should be prepared in batches, and stored for future use. The order of the cooking should be smart, too: dishes that only require light sauteeing should come before those that will have strong flavors, so that the same pan or cauldron can be used even without washing. Furthermore, cookware should be washed immediately after (or soaked in water) so that it is easier and faster to remove the dirt.

In celebration of the 2016 International Thyroid Awareness Week, a week-long event with the theme "Catching Butterflies: Spotting the Symptoms of Thyroid Disorders in Children." will be culminated on May 28, 2016 at Fisher Mall Event Center.
The International Thyroid Awareness Week's (ITAW's) objective is to help mothers and pregnant women spot the signs and symptoms early so they can be cured treated and children can then live normal and healthy lives afterwards.
wrong with the thyroid, it can result to hormonal imbalances that if undiagnosed and left untreated, can have a harmful effect on brain development, growth, puberty and well-being.
Awareness should never be overlooked because it could save someone's life and help so many other people in the process. The (ITAW) is the perfect opportunity to learn more about how the thyroid gland and the thyroid disorders that affect one's metabolism.
The "Catching Butterflies: Spotting the Symptoms of Thyroid Disorders in Children" event will have two colorful mascots representing the two different thyroid disorders.
Apart from having a lecture, there will also be a screening and a checkup for those with the symptoms of thyroid disorder, as well as consultation and compliance in treatment.
According to Dr. Ian, a dedicated multi-sport, endurance and CrossFit athlete, you can do exercises that will loosen up the cramps and dysmenorrhea.

Bear in mind that getting fit is not just about working out, 70% depends on a good diet. Philippine and US registered dietitian-nutritionist Cheshire Que, RND, RN, RDN, food and fluid are essential elements for the success of your workout. "An hour or two before exercise, eat a light snack that has a combination of carbohydrates for energy and some protein for muscle growth and repair. After the session, no need to eat with guilt as refueling within 15 minutesafter exercise is essential to replace fluid loss. However, it's not an excuse to binge and aim to consume what's only in your total caloric allowance for the day. Otherwise, you'll gain weight and your exercise will be futile", she adds.

Being a mom has always made feel like a super hero! I have the power to make the pain of the boo-boo go away just by kissing it, I get to juggle many things at the same time, survive sleepless nights and so on. Where do I get my superpowers from? Of course, my kids! Their laughter, their innocence, their love is what empowers me.
"So once again, the day is saved. Thanks to The Powerpuff Girls!" The citizens of Townsville are always grateful to the superhero trio for saving the world before bedtime. In reality, our days are saved mostly by superheroes who have been with us since day one – our mothers – and more often than not, we forget to thank them for all the great things they have done.
I always celebrate the day I became a mother and last May 8, 2016, Cartoon Network treated over 5,000 moms and their kids to The Powerpuff Girls Mama Jamma's Day Out at the Activity Center in Trinoma Mall, Quezon City.
We got the chance to meet and greet the Power Puff Girls. The kids were very happy and that makes me the happiest too! Brianna can't get her eyes off Bubbles, she was stunned by her as her favorite color is yellow! Athena was a bit scared with mascots but still gladly posed with them, cute! Look at Tristan's smile, he was claiming that Blossom's touched her. Haha!
There was a Chemistea Lab, where kids concocted their own delicious beverages; and Bento Baon, where moms and kids bonded over learning how to prepare super-cute, crafty and yummy lunchboxes perfect for school.
In addition, kids also took part in Poaky Oaks Art Classes where they learned to make their own Pillow Puff pillows, design their own picture frames, inflate their own balloons and have their face and body painted. To make this Mother's Day more memorable, kids were also encouraged to create their own Powerpledge Accessories and exercise their creativity as they make their little promises to their moms. Nothing says "I love you, mom" more than a well-kept promise.
The Powerpuff Girls Mama Jamma's Day Out was hosted by Karel Marquez, with performances by the Pop Girls and special appearance from celebrity mom Camille Prats and her son.

Its been a while since I transitioned from being a full time mom into a work at home mom. I rarely go out anymore since I do my job online in front of my computer. I only go out for blog events and to unwind with my family. I also haven't shopped in a while but honestly that's the least thing I want to do whenever I'm out. Shopping out is really a struggle especially with 3 kids and I can't endure all the walking around and long queues. Good thing, I can shop online. It's easier and more convenient!
Nowadays, there's already a lot of online shops to choose from. But as a mom, aside from convenience I'm always on the lookout for bigger discounts and promotions or simply more ways to save. That's why I'm very happy when I came across GivingAssistant.org.
Giving Assistant is an online shopping website which offers great deals and huge discounts from over 1,600 stores or merchants plus Cashback, but not only that because you also have the option to give back to your chosen charity. When I first heard about stores giving Cashback I was amazed and now Giving Back to the community is another thing. What a noble act! This is definitely how modern online shopping should be.
So how does Giving Assistant works?
Retailers pay Giving Assistant a commission for purchases originated from the website [Average ~5%). For purchases made by members, customers are given the entire commission in the form of 'cash back'. Plus, they make a small donation to Feeding America to give one meal every time cash back is earned. Members are also given the option to automatically donate any % of their cash back to any charity of their choice.

3. Now under the Settings Tab you can see (1) The Basics where you have to put in your Name and email address for the payment. (2) Choose which Charity and how much of your Cashback you'd like to donate.

All methods are fee-free to you with over a $5.00 current balance.
4. They also have a Referral Program, Everyone you refer gets $5 cash for signing up. Once they earn at least $0.01 cash back you get $5. There is no limit to the amount of cash you can earn through referrals.
On the same page just right on top you can either use the search bar or click on the stores tab to browse for stores you'd like to shop and earn your cashback from.
5. I was eyeing to buy a new dress and saw that Sammy Dress doubled it's Cashback, it's now 15% from 7.5%! Aside from the Cashback you Sammy Dress also has lots of discount codes to choose from. Next, Click the "Shop Now" button on the right portion just below "My Account" and it will redirect you to the store where your Giving Assistant Account is linked.

We all have insecurities about ourselves, height, weight, body figure and so on. Some people may have learned to embrace their insecurities and compensate on other aspects but there are people who still struggle. These insecurities lead to low self confidence which hinders them from achieving what they want in life. I am no exception. To be honest, I'm really not confident talking face to face with other people as I have this insecurity towards my skin. I'm shy to admit it, but I'm spilling the beans here. I'm worried that people would notice my large open pores, blackheads and white heads showing up, yikes! I don't really know how to what to do with it, seriously!
Being a blogger and a working mom, I get to deal with a lot of people from all walks of life that's why I badly need to regain my self confidence back. Good thing I got invited to the launch of the Gandang Career movement by Maxi-peel last May 20, 2016.
Gandang Career is a movement that aims to empower working women like me. It's an advocacy that seeks to motivate us so that we can achieve new accomplishments and move up our chosen professions.
Gandang Career has 3 key elements in the Filipina's road to success: (1.) the beauty of vision where setting goals and harnessing one's capabilities to have a rewarding career are made, (2.) the beauty of passion where dedication and commitment to keep going are underscored, and (3.) the beauty of you, where one's winning beauty and personality are enhanced so you can shine.
Splash Corporation, makers of Maxi-Peel, partnered with various entities for Gandang Career's events and activities – Dale Carnegie Training, a global training and consulting company, People Management Association of the Philippines (PMAP), an organization of human resource and management experts that also hone would-be executives through career development programs, and a dermatologist. The on-ground talks for the Gandang Career caravan focuses on personality development, success-driven performance, skill enhancement, and leadership training.
Free consultations with a dermatologist on skin care will also be held.
Gandang Career is anchored on promoting self-improvement and career advancement among female professionals. The objective is to tap one's inner potential and go beyond what is on the surface. It will also inspire the working Filipina to set new goals – that she can do much more – for herself and for her future. Just like what happened to Jeff who is the star of Maxi-Peel's Tunay Serye.
Don't miss this chance to explore new opportunities and possibilities. Watch out for the Gandang Career caravan in participating corporate offices nationwide. These talks and consultations will give you a new and fresh perspective in your work life. Gandang Career will also make you appreciate your career – no matter how difficult or challenging it might be at times.

The Atrium Hall of SM Mall of Asia was transformed into the X-Men School for Gifted Youngsters last May 20, 2016 as Caltex partnered with 20th Century Fox for the latest installment of the most-anticipated blockbuster movie X-Men: Apocalypse.
The event served as the launch pad for the latest member of its Diesel Engine Oil product family, Delo® Sports with ISOSYN® Technology where motorists learned how to protect and maximize the power of their car engines at the Caltex Delo Sports product demo area.
Delo Sports Fully Synthetic SAE 5W-40 is designed to provide ultimate protection for diesel powered sport utility and sport activity recreational vehicles that require heavy-duty type engine oils with the highest performance rating of API CJ-4. Delo Sports Synthetic Blend SAE 10W-30 meanwhile is especially designed for the latest models of sports utility vehicles fitted with common rail fuel injection systems where API CI-4 performance is required.
X-Men fans and mall goers also got the chance to experience the Power of X with enjoyable and exciting activities, plus a chance to win exclusive X-Men gift bags.
The "Match The Power of X" tested our minds, wherein I learned the required Diesel engine for each car types.
The Race to The Power of X arcade challenge brought out the mutants in us too!

Motorola's Kirkaldy remains upbeat with respect to the commercial prospects of mobile WiMAX. "Through the course of this year we expect to see the certification of the 802.16e standard, which is the only WiMAX standard being supported by Motorola," Kirkaldy explains. "The ecosystem for WiMAX is growing and this is our big bet," he adds.
Through the course of this year we expect to see the certification of the 802.16e standard, which is the only WiMAX standard being supported by Motorola. The ecosystem for WiMAX is growing and this is our big bet.
While Motorola is arguably the most vocal equipment supplier pushing the WiMAX cause further, there are other suppliers that are also betting on the impact of WiMAX in developed and developing telecoms markets alike. Resurgent Nortel views the development of a comprehensive ecosystem as being crucial to the uptake of WiMAX.
The vendor is driving an open, multi-vendor MIMO-based ecosystem in collaboration with industry leading chip and device manufacturers such as LGE, Kyocera, ZyXel, Intel, Runcom, Sequans and others.
Nortel is of the opinion that WiMAX customers, ranging from traditional GSM and CDMA operators to new entrants such as cable and satellite players, are interested in a total WiMAX 16e solution from their suppliers, including network infrastructure, services, devices and applications. As such, the supplier is looking to deliver cost effective WiMAX-16e devices such as PCMCIA cards, USB dongles, wireless routers and indoor/outdoor subscriber stations in 2H07, at the same time its WiMAX network infrastructure becomes available.
"Ericsson is perhaps the most prominent vendor that is not supporting WiMAX in a big way as its portfolio is a lot more focused on 3G goods and services and it would not make sense to use 3G technology for the same applications," suggests Milan Sallaba, director and office head of Oliver Wyman, a management consultancy.
"This is in contrast to Motorola, which is the main supporter of WiMAX. Motorola has almost discontinued its 3G research and what we see developing is a situation where vendors are betting on one technology versus the other and not everybody is in the same camp," he adds.
Sallaba believes the issue of whether WiMAX will gain mass-market support or not is based on whether a sufficient number of operators and service providers around the world identify with the technology and help to make it a more economical technology choice.
"I'll use the example of 2G handsets as a prime one. The reason they are so cheap is that there is an abundance of them in the market and the same law of supply and demand is taking place in the 3G arena where handset retail prices are also beginning to drop," Sallaba explains. "The same would be true of WiMAX but if there is very little take up then user experience will not be good as there is very little handover."
Ericsson's Hessler remains damning of WiMAX's ability to become a mass-market technology, able to enjoy the well-entrenched economies of scale present in the GSM and WCDMA worlds. "WiMAX comes about 6-7 years after WCDMA so I think it is difficult to see how it is going to be become a mass market technology. It is not better and it has come six years later," Hessler states.

Degrees of Freedom: What are they?
Degrees of freedom are used in hypothesis testing.
Why Do Critical Values Decrease While DF Increase?
Degrees of freedom in the left column of the t distribution table.
Degrees of freedom of an estimate is the number of independent pieces of information that went into calculating the estimate. It's not quite the same as the number of items in the sample. In order to get the df for the estimate, you have to subtract 1 from the number of items. Let's say you were finding the mean weight loss for a low-carb diet. You could use 4 people, giving 3 degrees of freedom (4 – 1 = 3), or you could use one hundred people with df = 99.
Q. Pick a set of numbers that have a mean (average) of 10.
A. Some sets of numbers you might pick: 9, 10, 11 or 8, 10, 12 or 5, 10, 15.
Once you have chosen the first two numbers in the set, the third is fixed. In other words, you can't choose the third item in the set. The only numbers that are free to vary are the first two. You can pick 9 + 10 or 5 + 15, but once you've made that decision you must choose a particular number that will give you the mean you are looking for. So degrees of freedom for a set of three numbers is TWO.
For example: if you wanted to find a confidence interval for a sample, degrees of freedom is n – 1. "N' can also be the number of classes or categories. See: Critical chi-square value for an example.
Degrees of Freedom (Two Samples): (N1 + N2) – 2.
Mean 1 + mean 2 = grand mean.
What if you chose mean 1 and you knew the grand mean? You wouldn't have a choice about Mean2, so your degrees of freedom for a two-group ANOVA is 1.
For a three-group ANOVA, you can vary two means so degrees of freedom is 2.
It's actually a little more complicated because there are two degrees of freedom in ANOVA: df1 and df2. The explanation above is for df1. Df2 in ANOVA is the total number of observations in all cells – degrees of freedoms lost because the cell means are set.
The "k" in that formula is the number of cell means or groups/conditions.
For example, let's say you had 200 observations and four cell means. Degrees of freedom in this case would be: Df2 = 200 – 4 = 196.
Thanks to Mohammed Gezmu for this question.
When n increases, the t-score goes up. This is because of the square root in the denominator: as it gets larger, the fraction s/√n gets smaller and the t-score (the result of another fraction) gets bigger. As the degrees of freedom are defined above as n-1, you would think that the t-critical value should get bigger too, but they don't: they get smaller. This seems counter-intuitive.
However, think about what a t-test is actually for. You're using the t-test because you don't know the standard deviation of your population and therefore you don't know the shape of your graph. It could have short, fat tails. It could have long skinny tails. You just have no idea. The degrees of freedom affect the shape of the graph in the t-distribution; as the df get larger, the area in the tails of the distribution get smaller. As df approaches infinity, the t-distribution will look like a normal distribution. When this happens, you can be certain of your standard deviation (which is 1 on a normal distribution).
Let's say you took repeated sample weights from four people, drawn from a population with an unknown standard deviation. You measure their weights, calculate the mean difference between the sample pairs and repeat the process over and over. The tiny sample size of 4 will result a t-distribution with fat tails. The fat tails tell you that you're more likely to have extreme values in your sample. You test your hypothesis at an alpha level of 5%, which cuts off the last 5% of your distribution. The graph below shows the t-distribution with a 5% cut off. This gives a critical value of 2.6. (Note: I'm using a hypothetical t-distribution here as an example–the CV is not exact).
Now look at the normal distribution. We have less chance of extreme values with the normal distribution. Our 5% alpha level cuts off at a CV of 2.
Degrees of freedom are related to sample size (n-1). If the df increases, it also stands that the sample size is increasing; the graph of the t-distribution will have skinnier tails, pushing the critical value towards the mean.

← Empirical Rule: What is it?


Elko, NV – May 29, 2018 – Lithium Corporation [OTCQB:LTUM] "the Company" is pleased to announce that it has recently begun its 2018 trenching program to the east of the Weather Station Showing at its BC Sugar flake graphite prospect in British Columbia.
Previous trenching in 2015 in the area of the Weather Station Showing exposed a 226 foot (69 meter) variably mineralized section of relatively coarse grained flake graphite mineralization, that remains open in all directions. This broader intercept included a 98 foot (30 meter section) grading 2.73% graphitic carbon, and this section in turn included a 39 foot (12 meter) intercept of 2.99% graphitic carbon, all in a variably weathered friable gneissic host rock. This year's trenching program will focus on an area approximately 0.6 miles (1 kilometer) along strike and to the east from the Weather Station Showing, in an area where a number of unresolved EM geophysical anomalies were detected during the Spring 2015 geophysical program.
