Estimación de área pequeña  es cualquiera de varias técnicas estadísticas que implican la estimación de parámetros para sub-poblaciones pequeñas, que se utiliza generalmente cuando la sub-población de interés se incluye en un estudio más grande.

El término "área pequeña", en este contexto, se refiere generalmente a una pequeña área geográfica, tal como un municipio o comarca. También puede referirse a un "pequeño dominio", es decir, un grupo demográfico en particular dentro de un área. Si una encuesta -o estudio- se ha llevado a cabo para la población en su conjunto (por ejemplo, una nación o una encuesta a nivel estatal), el tamaño de la muestra dentro de cualquier área pequeña particular, pueden ser demasiado pequeño para generar estimaciones precisas de los datos. Para hacer frente a este problema, es posible utilizar los datos adicionales (como los registros del censo) que existen para estas áreas pequeñas con el fin de obtener estimaciones.

Uno de los modelos de área pequeña más comunes en uso hoy en día es el 'modelo de regresión del área anidada al nivel de la unidad', que se utiliza por primera vez en 1988 para modelar áreas de maíz y cultivos de soja en Iowa. Los datos del estudio inicial, en el que los agricultores informaron sobre la zona en la que habían cultivado maíz o soja, se comparó con las estimaciones obtenidas a partir de cartografía por satélite de las granjas.
El modelo final resultante para la unidad / granja 'j' en el condado de 'i' es  , donde 'y' denota el área de cultivo reportada,  es el coeficiente de regresión, 'x' es la estimación, a nivel de granja, ya sea para el cultivo del maíz o la soja a partir de
los datos de satélite y \mu \, representa el efecto a nivel de condado de cualquier características del área no recogida en el estudio.

Salt N Pepa released their debut album "Hot, Cool & Vicious" on December 8th, 1986. The album was produced by Hurby "Luv Bug" Azor and dropped on New Plateau Records.
Everybody and their mama knows that Salt N Pepa are known for their mega-hit "Push It". But these girls are more than a one hit wonder. In their heyday, they were the queens of Hip Hop. For Some reason or other, I really thought that Run DMC and Salt N Pepa would hook up and get married. They were that monumental! So let's start with their greatest track even though it was not included in this record until after it was reissued.
"Push It" uses a sample of Coal Kitchen's "Keep On Pushing" and the infectious sexually tongue and cheek lyrics will make you get off that wall and get you to the dance floor. The video was played day and night on MTV to the point you would use that time to go to the bathroom or make a sandwich.
"Tramp" was another dope track that had a dope video to match. This was the first time we would get a glimpse of the girls and you can say they were pretty hot! There was no Spinderella, but we did get to see Play from Kid N Play, Hurby, and Dana Dane make cameos in the video. It samples Otis Reddings song of the same name plus of course "The Champ" by The Mohawks and the lyrics flip the script on all the male "skeezer" tracks from back in the day.
Have you ever seen a dude who's stupid and rude?
One of my favorite tracks is "I'll Take Your Man" where Hurby takes the beat from "Flash Light" by Parliament and a guitar riff from "Owner of a Lonely Heart" by YES while Salt and Pepa warn other females that if you mess with them, they can take their man from under their noses! It seems like they rap forever and sound they are out for blood! I was sold on them with this track!
Yo, Cher, school this fool!
Lastly, "My Mic Sounds Nice" had me pressing the rewind button over and over again and if I missed it, the cassette would click over to the A-Side and back to "Push It". In the video below, I am not sure what happened to the crowd. It almost seems like they are doing the mannequin challenge!
To think that these girls have been rocking the mic for 30 years! This album made them a household name and it was just the beginning of a long and illustrious career that gave us so many hits! We salute you ladies! PEACE!

BSc (Hons) -
BSc (Hons) DPS/DIntS -
Overall, this Programme seeks to give the student a thorough grounding in two complementary ways of understanding the human in society: through a consideration of people's internal processes and social relations (Psychology) and through connections between people via text, image and speech (Communication). While both disciplines have a large hinterland of theory and research the outer bounds of which have little in common, certain topics are core to both: mechanisms of perception; theories of language and speech; social influence; interpersonal communication; social interaction; the role of media in society; understanding representation; and the use of both quantitative and qualitative research methods.
With this general aim, curriculum content reflects the need to meet the programme standards for the Graduate Basis for Chartership (GBC) with the British Psychological Society (BPS) and:
enable students to develop and sustain arguments and solve problems through a conceptually and empirically grounded understanding of psychological topics, and to communicate information, ideas, problems and solutions to different audiences;
promote and provide a multi-disciplinary educational experience
to equip students with a thorough, theoretical and evidence-based understanding of how communication plays a vital role in the relationships between individuals, groups and commercial and cultural agents
The subject benchmark statement for Communication, Media, Film and Culture Studies
The main theoretical approaches to understanding communication and media, and contemporary and historic debates related to the relation between theories of psychology and communication.
The nature of communication and how relevant agencies and actors use it.
Critically evaluate competing theories and explanations for the phenomena of communication.
Apply communication theory and research to problems and questions in communication and media.
Analyse and assess findings about communication and report information about them.
Use appropriate analytical methods and reserach tools in relation to communication, including quantitative and qualitative techniques.
Interpret and apply principles of communication to the construction of effective written and spoken arguments.
Deploy critical judgment in recognizing how communication is informed by psychology.
Candidates must take a total modular weight of 120 credits in each Part with a minimum modular weight of 50 in each semester, taking into account both compulsory and optional modules.

Search engines pay attention to a lot of aspects of your insurance agency website. They even look at how much time people are on your website.
When people stay on your website for some time, search engines think it has unique, relevant content. Because of this, your website can then rank higher in the organic search results.
Higher rankings help your online visibility and can lead to more quote requests and sales. But what can you do to increase the time someone spends on your insurance website?
Good question! Below are a few ways you can keep people on your website longer.
This might sound counter-intuitive. But, a fast loading website increases the likelihood that visitors will stay on your website.
Pages that load slowly cause frustration and encourage consumers to go on to the next website.
A large amount of text is intimidating. It keeps potential clients from reading all the great content you have worked so hard to write.
Breaking up your content makes it easier for someone to read and properly digest your words.
You can add graphs and other graphics to not only make your page more visually appealing. Also, using shorter paragraphs and bullet lists can help make your content easy to read.
Videos are a great way to break up your content as well as add supplemental information.
Instead of linking to a video on another website, it is better to embed the video directly on your website. This is because the time spent watching the video is time spent on your insurance agency website, instead of YouTube.
Blogging helps your website's search engine optimization and positions you as an industry source.
Give your clients the ability to leave comments on your posts. Encourage them to respond with their own thoughts. Letting them comments includes them in the conversation, which strengthens your relationship.
Also, use blog tags so people can browse through other related blog posts easily. For example, click on the insurance website tag at the bottom of this post. You'll see all our insurance website-related posts.
Add features to your insurance agency website that encourage engagement. Make a payment or file a claim pages are great pages that get high engagement.
Glossaries, financial calculators and other educational tools are good features to include as well. These pages allow your visitors to spend time researching their needs and interests.
Getting your visitors to stay on your insurance agency website longer may seem like a hard task. But really, all it takes is a few tweaks.

ControlUp gives you a real-time view of your data center; virtual, physical, hyper-converged, or a mix. With powerful data exploration and visualization in an actionable dashboard, you can easily and proactively troubleshoot issues in real time, optimizing your environment's performance and management.
With ControlUp, datacenter administrators can quickly spot performance issues across multiple layers — from the physical hosts and VMs all the way to specific processes. Using this real-time performance data, ITOps teams can quickly detect and remedy the root cause of an issue in their environment.
It is laborious, often not humanly possible, to correlate systems metrics from a multitude of sources, and arrive at an actionable conclusion.
ControlUp aggregates performance metrics from multiple layers and presents them in a unified manner, linking datastores to their associated hosts, VMs, users and processes. This allows the admin to complete deep root-cause analysis procedures within seconds.
Traditional IT monitoring systems offer an unfortunate tradeoff – observe a bird's-eye view of your entire data center which is not very detailed, or dive into a particular workload while drowning in the multitude of metrics and details. Typically, the detailed view requires the admin to focus on a particular workload, losing sight of the bigger picture.
ControlUp offers fine-grained process-level visibility in real time, while retaining the administrator's ability to switch quickly to the upper layers (computers, hosts, datastores, etc.) and examine current values of various performance indicators quickly and intuitively. In tandem with ControlUp's powerful remediation abilities, real-time visibility offers immediate validation when a management action is performed — without leaving the console.
With on-prem/cloud hybrid infrastructures and complex workloads, it is common to have a combination of different management and monitoring tools – one set of tools for the on-premises workloads, and another one for the cloud-based workloads.
ControlUp's powerful console unifies disparate environments by seamlessly connecting multiple untrusted domains and forests, and hypervisor platforms and versions, leading to reduced complexity and minimal administrative overhead.
Traditional IT management tools are single-target by design, and multi-target operations require scripting expertise or an orchestration platform.
ControlUp offers point-and-click multi-target operations, while providing detailed feedback on the action results on every target. Furthermore, any of ControlUp's Script-Based Actions can act on multiple targets, thus expanding the admin's toolbox and offering invaluable time savings in times of crisis.
It is critical to be able to look back at datacenter components behavior, ideally in fine-grained detail.
ControlUp Insights seamlessly saves all performance and usage data, offering an extensive set of reports spanning areas such as resource consumption, system health, licensing and more.

NYC announces measles outbreak emergency officially over
Sep 03, 2019, 9:32pm EDT
Updated on:Sep 03, 2019, 9:32pm EDT
City officials provided a big sigh of relief Tuesday to people across Brooklyn as they declared the measles outbreak over.
The city lifted the emergency order that was declared back in April on Tuesday. Health Commissioner Oxiris Barbot announced that two incubation periods, or 42 days, have passed since the last person with measles was infectious.
They add that there has been no ongoing local transmission, with no new cases in August.
Barbot says the outbreak was centered in the Jewish Orthodox areas of Borough Park and Williamsburg, but that since the outbreak started last October, there has been a 40% increase in measles immunizations in those neighborhoods.
The city spent more than $6 million to get the crisis under control.
Barbot says he is grateful that none of the 654 people infected during the outbreak died. He thanked community members who worked to educate those who opted to avoid vaccines.
