Q: How can Neyman-Pearson and Wald both be optimal? I see optimality mentioned in the context of both Neyman-Pearson tests and Wald tests. Neyman Pearson is a fixed sample test, while Wald is a sequential test. The Neyman-Pearson lemma states that no test which has a smaller Type I error can also have a smaller Type II error than the LRT. Wald states that no test which has a smaller Type I and Type II error can have a smaller expected stopping time. Are these two different criteria of optimality, and hence can co-exist?
The standard power analysis taught in statistics textbooks requires as input $\alpha$ (Type I error), $\beta$ (Type II error), and $\Delta$ (difference of means), and returns a fixed sample size $N$. Wald on the other hand only requires $\alpha$ and $\beta$. Does Wald's optimality theorem mean that it will require smaller number of samples on average than those required by the power analysis procedure? This would be very surprising because Wald is $\Delta$-agnostic.

StrengthsFinder is a very practical tool. After identifying your Talents, it then encourages you to develop them. One of the available tools that you can use to develop your Talents is the framework called "Name it, Claim it, Aim it." In this post, I explain how you can use it. Read on!
What would you say if someone told you to stop focusing on your weaknesses and instead work on your strengths? What would you say if someone showed you what your potential is and helped you to find out how to invest in it? I heard about that concept a couple of years ago and I have to admit it was a shock for me. I was used to working on the areas that I needed to improve or fix. Then one day I was told that it is far better to focus on what I do well and build on that.
You have talents which are a natural way of thinking, feeling, or behaving. You can invest in your talents by practicing and developing your skills, and building your knowledge base. This is how you build a Strength. What is a Strength? According to Gallup, it is "the ability to consistently provide near-perfect performance." How can you achieve near-perfect performance? Invest in your talents by adding knowledge and skills to amplify them. Why should you do this? For better performance, and to achieve better results. You can benefit from investing in your talents both in your personal and professional life.
Arranger: People strong in the Arranger theme can organize, but they also have a flexibility that complements this ability. They like to figure out how all of the pieces and resources of a project can be arranged for maximum productivity.
You can find the full list under this link.
Gallup has prepared an assessment which consists of 177 sets of paired statements. After taking it, you will get a list of your top five or a full list of 34 strengths (there is a difference in price between these assessments).
My ambition is to write more about Strengths here. I will describe them and explain how they can play together. Some time ago, I decided to participate in a week-long training where I learned how to work with Gallup Strengths. Along with more than 20 other people from all over the world, I listened to experienced Gallup coaches and practiced helping others discover their strengths. We learned how to show other people which strengths they have and how those strengths can help them in everyday life. There are tons of things I want to share with you about what I've learned. I'll do that in the coming blog posts. I want to leave you with one thought, though: There aren't better or worse combinations of strengths. Don't focus on your lesser strengths. The most important thing to do is to invest in your top strengths. This is where your potential is, and this is where you will have the most opportunities for success!
If you are interested in more details, please contact me. I'm passionate about this! I can help you discover your strengths and figure out how to work with them in order to grow. You can also expect many more posts about Gallup Strengths right here on this blog. So stay tuned!

Katherine was very professional through the entire home buying process. During our home search, she let us make the calls on which properties to look at and added some suggested listings to our search. She was more than accommodating when it came to working around our busy schedules. When we found the house we wanted, she made several suggestions that helped in negotiating the sale. Katherine and her entire team educated us on the buying process, which gave us confidence everything was well managed through closing.

Andrew Morgan & team gave us a first time home buying experience that was amazing, we never imagined that we would find a home, close, & move in (from another state!) as fast as we did. We found out we were relocating from NYC to ATL in late June, we decided that our goal was to try to get into our 1st purchased home as soon as we got to Georgia instead of renting. We contacted Andrew & let him know our intentions to fly down mid July for 2 days to look at houses. Andrew created a listing page for us that over the course of the week we cultivated together to come to our top 8 houses, one of those is now our home. Andrew knows about the area, knows about the houses & the different neighborhoods….oh, he is also hilarious! On our second walk thru he had great suggestions for functional updates to the house, many that we have or will be doing in the future. Coming from NYC where renting is the affordable norm, we had never gone thru the purchase process before, Andrew was great guide all along the process, got us what we needed & we closed in a little over 2 weeks! When we drove down from New York we had keys in hand & were able to move in straight away.

Katherine Holland was our agent for our first ever home purchase. She was extremely knowledgeable and thoughtful which made us 'first-timers' feel comfortable. She was not afraid to negotiate and we got our home significantly under asking price. If it wasn't for her, I know we wouldn't have gotten our dream home for our dream price. If you are looking for an agent who cares about you and your family, Katherine Holland is your agent!

Friendships aside, Page and Andrew Morgan (And their Team), were amazing to work with and defined professionalism! As this was our first home purchase, my wife and I knew much less about the process than we initially thought. Andrew took the time to clearly explain the process, listen to what we were looking for, and then got out of our way to let us experience this amazing life milestone! With multiple contact points, their team was extremely responsive and kept an open line of communication with us during the process. We felt protected during closing and confident that we made a great purchase. Thanks to the Page Morgan Team!

Die Ronceva (auch Roncevabach), früher auch Ronxava ist ein Bach, der durch die ostwestfälische Stadt Lübbecke fließt.

Verlauf
Die Quelle der Ronceva liegt in  im Wiehengebirge zwischen den Bergen Heidbrink und Horst Höhe am unteren Ende der Mensinger Schlucht. Letztere liegt an der Ostflanke des Wurzel- und Heidbrinks. Somit hat der Oberlauf der Ronceva wesentliche Bereiche der drei höchsten Berge des Wiehengebirges in dessen Einzugsgebiet. Sie fließt sodann zunächst östlich der Bundesstraße 239 nach Lübbecke und unterquert nach wenigen hundert Metern Fließstrecke die Bunte Brücke. Im Bereich der Lübbecker Kernstadt fließt sie unterirdisch.

Nördlich der Kernstadt kommt die Ronceva wieder zu Tage und fließt schließlich im Bereich des Lübbecker Industriegebiets, unmittelbar neben dem Gebäude der Gauselmann-Gruppe (auf ) in die Flöthe.

Im Jahre 2013 musste das alte Bett des Baches, das direkt am Lübbecker Werk der Firma Gauselmann entlang fließt, verlegt werden, um die neue Logistikhalle an die bereits bestehenden Hallen anschließen zu können.

Die Ronceva hat eine Länge von rund 5 km, wovon ca. 1,5 km unterirdisch verrohrt sind.
Das Einzugsgebiet der Ronceva umfasst rund 4 km², also lediglich 7 % der Gesamtstadtfläche der Stadt Lübbecke.

Trotz des relativ kurzen Laufes durchfließt die Ronceva drei grundverschiedene Großlandschaften: Das Wiehengebirge, dann das Lübbecker Lößland und schließlich noch die Rahden-Diepenauer Geest.

Geschichtliche Bedeutung
Der alte sächsische Name Lübbeckes Hlidbeki, das heißt kleiner Bach (english: little beck, plattdeutsch: lüt Beek oder lüttke Beke) geht auf die Ronceva zurück. Folglich war es einst ein Beweggrund wegen des Baches gerade hier eine Siedlung zu gründen, bot der Bach doch mit seinem Gefällstrecken im heutigen Stadtgebiet Energiepotential für Wassermühlen.
Später durchlief die Ronceva daher den östlichen Stadtgraben und trieb um 1750 im Stadtzentrum fünf Mühlen an. Außerhalb des Stadtkerns vor dem Bergertor (südlich der Stadtmauer) und dem Niedertor (im Norden des Stadt) wurden weitere Mühlen von der Ronceva angetrieben. Die bekannteste Mühle war die Reineberger Amtsmühle. Das entsprechende Fachwerkgebäude an der B239 wird heute noch als Königsmühle bezeichnet.
Indirekt fand sich die Ronceva im alten Wappen des ehemaligen Kreis Lübbecke wieder. Der Wellenbalken deuteten auf die etymologische Bedeutung von Lübbecke hin, was sich von Hlid beki ableitet, also jenem Bach (beki) der heute Ronceva heißt. Die Wappenfarben waren die Farben sowohl des Fürstbistums Minden als auch der Grafschaft Ravensberg. Dieses alte Wappen wurde 1935 durch das preußische Staatsministerium genehmigt und wurde 1968 durch ein anderes Wappen abgelöst.

Erscheinungsbild
Innerhalb des Stadtgebiets, ab der Privatbrauerei Ernst Barre, ist sie größtenteils verrohrt, lediglich im Bereich des Marktplatzes wurde sie 1988 wieder freigelegt und zu einem kleinen Teich aufgestaut. Darüber hinaus gibt es Überlegungen den Bachlauf in weiteren Bereichen der Innenstadt freizulegen. Im Rahmenplan Innenstadt der Stadt Lübbecke heißt es: "(…) Wo die Möglichkeit besteht, sollte der Versuch unternommen werden, im Bereich des ehemaligen Bachlaufes der Ronceva, den Bach als prägendes und historisches Element wieder freizulegen (…)".

Wirtschaftliche und ökologische Bedeutung
Trotz des Gesamtgefälles von 180 m spielt die Nutzung der Wasserkraft der Ronceva aufgrund des geringen jährlichen Wasserdargebots heute keine Rolle mehr. Hingegen hat sie Bedeutung für die lokale Sportfischerei. Zu angeln gibt es Barsch, Plötze und Gründling. Beangelt werden darf die Ronceva von der Straße "Rote Mühle"  bis zur Einmündung in die Flöthe.
Oberhalb von Lübbecke weist die Ronceva eine Gewässergüteklasse von I bis II auf, und kann daher in diesem Bereich als un- bis geringbelastetes Gewässer bezeichnet werden.
Im Bereich des Lübbecker Industriegebietes nimmt der Bach den Ablauf der Kläranlage auf, in welcher auch Abwasser eines fleischverarbeitenden Betriebes behandelt wird, so dass die Wasserqualität der Ronceva bei Einmündung in die Flöthe deutlich im Bereich der Güteklasse III (stark verschmutzt) liegt.

Nowadays, there is an agreement among organizations that reinforcing of education leads to the improvement of organizational performance. The emphasis on the human capital in organizations reflects the view that market values depend less on tangible resources, but more on intangible ones, particularly human resources. The main purpose of this study was to design a model for faculty members in public Agricultural Higher Education in Iran. A survey method was used to collect data from nine Public Agricultural Faculties in Iran. Samples were collected from faculty members using a simple random sampling method (n=284) and a questionnaire was used as the main research instrument to collect data. Reliability and validity were calculated using Structural Equation Modeling through LISREL software, version 8.54 (above 0.7). Finally, a model was developed and tested for faculty members in Agricultural Higher Education System in Iran. The findings showed that contextual variables (i.e. personal, organizational, social, educational, and professional development) had direct impacts on the process of Human Resource Development (HRD). Furthermore, personal and organizational development had direct and indirect impacts on HRD (R2 = 0.70).
Personal, social, professional, organizational, and educational development has a significant relationship with the process of HRD.

Portugal trains might not enjoy the best reputation, but well deserve a second look. Though its network has historically not developed as fast as its European counterparts, Portugal (like its neighbor Spain ) has recently launched state-of-the-art services on the main line linking Lisbon to Faro in the south (Algarve ) and Porto in the north.
Just under three hours away from Lisbon, and with modern high-speed Alfa Pendular peak trains running every hour, Porto is ideal for a day trip. As a matter of fact, the Sao Bento station is a destination in itself: its interior is decorated with 20,000 azulejos (blue-painted ceramic tiles). The panels, painted from 1905-1916, depict the city s history. And, it s conveniently located in the rua dos Clerigos, one of the most beautiful streets of this ancient district, and just a few minutes walk from Torre dos Clerigos, a 220-foot high bell-tower built in the 18th century.
It s also worth exploring off-the-beaten-track Portugal, and that s what often makes train travel a journey all its own. Apart from the Alfa Pendular, Portuguese trains are relatively slow but offer a good level of comfort. Morever, they provide a unique opportunity to experience a true luxury taking time to watch the landscape pass by, while getting to know your fellow travelers. Most Portuguese speak several languages (the elderly tend to speak French, younger generations all speak English), so conversation is easy. But, if a lunch-time snooze seems more your style, by all means. The trains are quiet and folks very much respect each other s wishes.

Six Core Exercises for Wrestlers
Posted on September 28, 2019.
BY MATT KRUMRIE, USA Wrestling
Wrestling can be a complicated sport. It takes hard work and practice to develop technique, perfect a new move, or improve weaknesses.
It's truly a sport where one needs to learn how to crawl before they walk. In the end, setting goals and developing the little things over time can result in big gains. To achieve those gains, it's important for wrestlers to focus on core exercises that can help a young wrestler develop.
"Wrestling is about controlling someone else's body, and if you can't control your own you will never control theirs," says Travis Rutt, assistant wrestling coach at Rochester Community and Technical College (Rochester, MN). Prior to his role at RCTC, Rutt spent three seasons as the strength and conditioning coach at the University of Iowa and for the Hawkeye Wrestling Club.
Rutt and Mike Favre, M.Ed., RSCC*D, CSCS, Director of Olympic Sports Strength and Conditioning with the University of Michigan Athletic Department, breakdown five core exercises wrestlers can focus on to develop core strength.
1. Pull-ups: Pull-up variations where you need to control the drop provide a surprising amount of core activation, says Rutt. In other words, while most people focus on simply completing the traditional pull-up and doing 2–3 sets of 10 to 20, there is core value in focusing on the decline. For example, try completing an assisted pull-up (with spotter) using only one arm on the decline. Switch arms each time down. Your core and entire body will need to be used during the shift from one arm to two. As pointed out in this article and video, this is known as "the Bilateral Assisted Negative Accentuated (BANA) method, also known as the 2:1 Eccentric Accentuated Method."
"This is thought of as an upper body exercise, but after you do a couple, your core will definitely feel it the next day," Rutt says.
2. Push-ups (from various angles): These can literally be done anywhere. Changing arm width, angles, and reps/sets provides great variation for what seems like one exercise. Push-ups may seem like a "chest" exercise to some, but they work the entire body, including back, shoulders, core and leg muscles. You might feel it in the chest, but it's working the entire body in one way or another. Incorporate slow, resistance-style sets, as well as more fast-paced sets—perhaps timing yourself (while ensuring proper form is followed) with a teammate to see who can do a certain amount the fastest.
3. Body weight squats (two- and one-leg varieties): Squats and pushups help develop that "explosive" strength that is crucial in wrestling. "Any body weight exercise can become an explosive exercise," Rutt says. "As long as your concentric portion of the exercise doesn't have any deceleration. The explosion can be pretty substantial, therefore the core development can be pretty high."
4. Torso work (abdominals and low back): Torso exercises are essential for proper development for wrestling and for injury prevention, Favre says. The torso is what connects the strong force and power-producing areas of the body—the lower body (leg/hips) and upper body (chest, shoulders, arms). If this middle area is weak in comparison to the upper and lower body, not only will there be compromised transfer of force/power, but the spine can also be put in harm's way. Technique on the mat will also be heavily reliant upon strong abs and low back. The torso would include the part of the body from the bottom of the chest to the top of hips, including your front, sides and back. All planes of movement would include front, side and back.
The movements should include dynamic (flexion and extension), isometric and rotation. Flexion exercises would be mostly abdominals and include crunches, sit-ups, leg raises, and hanging leg raises. Extension exercises would be mostly low back and include back extensions, hip extensions, and some bridge work. Isometric exercises include various planks. Rotational exercises include Russian twists, rocky sit-ups, and lying windshield wipers.
5. Neck strengthening (to include the neck and trapezius muscles): Neck workouts are paramount for wrestling, as so much contact involves the head and neck area, Favre says.
"By strengthening up these muscles and enhancing their endurance you can help avoid injuries," he says.
Exercises that are beneficial for these areas can be as simple as manual resistance with a partner. Movements should include flexion (tucking the chin into the chest and trying to touch your ears to your shoulders) and extension (moving your head back as if looking to the sky). All repetitions should be done smoothly in a controlled fashion with proper technique. Manual resistance shrugs can be done to work the trapezius muscles. For those you should elevate your shoulder in a straight line, trying to touch your ears. No rolling of the shoulders should occur. Lastly, you can do bridging exercises for your neck strength.
"These should always be done under the guidance of an experienced, certified wrestling coach, so that they are executed safely," Favre adds.
6. Partner lifts/carries: Partner carries are beneficial for two reasons, Favre says. First, they allow athletes to practice lifting a partner in a more isolated and controlled situation compared to what occurs in live wrestling. Second, partner lifts allow an avenue to strengthen the muscles involved with those specific movements in wrestling without the need for additional weight equipment.
Examples of partner lifts include: Fireman's lift/carry, cradle lift/carry, gut lift/carry, buddy on your back lift/carry, to name a few. To mix it up, athletes can add different elements to a partner lift, such as a squat, Romanian deadlift/good morning, walk forward, walk backward, or any combination of these.
In addition, athletes can utilize lighter athletes to allow for more repetitions for strength endurance training, or utilize heavier athletes to increase their maximum strength.
"As with all training, technique should be first and foremost when it comes to the execution of these movements," Favre says.
Don't have a partner to workout with? You can use buckets or heavy objects Rutt says.
Through the repeated implementation of these exercises, wrestlers will make noticeable gains in functional strength and strength-endurance, Favre says. In addition, when executed with good technique, these exercises will also prepare the wrestler for similar movements in weight lifting later on. These same exercises will continue to aid in a wrestler's development throughout their career.
"These areas, along with consistent cardiovascular conditioning, form the foundation of the physical requirements needed to develop as a wrestler," says Favre, who works directly with members of the Michigan wrestling team. "Coupled with wrestling technique, they allow the wrestler to develop an awareness for and control of their own body and how it moves."

IT'S TIME TO
LEARN THE
REAL STORY.
It's about dignity, purpose and value for those who have not been heard. Until now.
A Team Missouri was formed with one mission: to give voice to those not being heard. A Team Missouri provides a platform to unite adults with disabilities and their family members so they can be proactive in challenging opinions, misconceptions and legislation that impacts their lives, or threatens their rights.
We firmly believe that no one has the right to tell another person what is best for them. Nor do they have the right to tell a parent, who has spent a lifetime caring for and supporting their son or daughter, what is best for their child. Law-makers, along with disability rights groups, increasingly make these decisions without talking to the people who will be directly impacted. A Team Missouri will empower its members to become self-advocates and provide them with opportunities to engage with legislators, participate in awareness campaigns, and gain a seat at the table with other groups.
"It's my job. It's my choice."
From Employees & Families
May 10, 1986, remains one of the happiest days of our lives. Our son Timmy came into this world at 12:13 p.m. But our tears of joy quickly became tears of fear. Our son had oxygen deprivation and faced some challenges. Fortunately, he survived and thrived but our biggest fear became what would he do in his adult years? How could he achieve satisfaction and maintain his social network? We only wanted him to live up to his potential, to be happy, healthy and productive. After graduating from high school, we explored the possibilities.

Tour Kentucky's historic Woodford Reserve Distillery
Jake Emen
Special to USA TODAY
The first Kentucky Derby was held in 1875, at a time when the Pepper clan was already in its third generation of whiskey production at the current site of the Woodford Reserve Distillery. The former has gone onto become one of the world's preeminent sporting events, while the latter was eventually named a National Historic Landmark. Now, these two Kentucky institutions are tightly intertwined, with Woodford Reserve becoming the presenting sponsor for the 2018 Kentucky Derby, the 144th annual edition.
"Forever now, the Woodford Reserve name is historically linked to this event, because beginning with this Derby, it will be 'The Kentucky Derby presented by Woodford Reserve,'" says Chris Morris, Woodford Reserve's master distiller. "Now Derby lore and legend will be intrinsically linked to Woodford Reserve, and I think that's so cool! That's what it's all about!"
Set among the serene, rolling green hills of Versailles, with stud farms and stables as neighbors — both thoroughbred horses and bourbon whiskey thrive, thanks in part to Kentucky's famed limestone water — the Woodford Reserve Distillery is one of country's most pristine and beautiful.
The distillery's national landmark status was bestowed not only for its lengthy history, but more specifically, for the work Dr. James Crow and Oscar Pepper performed onsite to improve bourbon production, and for the fact that it's essentially a surviving, operational factory from 1812. "We are a very rare example of a 19th-century factory — a distillery is a factory, it's making something — still making what it did back in the 19th century," Morris says.
More:Inside America's oldest distillery
The distillery does more than just look back, though. It's looking ahead, and one person leading that forward-thinking charge is Woodford Reserve's newly named assistant master distiller, Elizabeth McCall. She's a self-professed devotee of the "unsexy side of the distillery industry," with a focus on areas including quality control and procedures. She's worked with the distillery for nearly a decade, namely in the sensory and R&D departments, eventually serving as master taster on her way to the current role.
"And then the other area is innovation and development," McCall says. "How do we carry this brand on? I'm working with Chris Morris on that, and he's trying to teach me his ways on how he integrates flavor and history into the development of our brand and carrying it into the future."
One such new product is the batch proof edition of Woodford Reserve as part of this season's Master's Collection, bottled at 125.8 proof. "We love cask strength, we love barrel strength, and Woodford Reserve has always been a batch product," McCall says, noting that a batch could be between 120 and 140 barrels. "So we're celebrating that with a batch proof, which is what we are when we dump our barrels."
New booze:2017 whiskey and spirits releases
There's plenty more where that came from. "We also have coming out a Woodford Reserve Kentucky Straight Malt Whiskey," McCall says.
The malt whiskey will feature a uniquely balanced mash bill of 51% malted barley, 47% corn and 2% rye. "All three grains [from our bourbon] represented, but in different ratios," McCall says. "So it'll be the same process in barrels, matured for the same amount of time, same proof point, the only thing that's changing is the grain recipe."
A trip to the Woodford Reserve Distillery offers whiskey aficionados a chance to try these new products, while taking in the pristine views, the distillery's famous triple pot still operation and the old stone warehouses. A perfect mix of history and modernity, just as Morris and McCall want it.
View the photo gallery above for an inside look at the Woodford Reserve Distillery, and select from one of several tour and tasting packages, ranging in price from $15 to $30 per person, at woodfordreserve.com. Tours are offered daily from March through December, Monday to Saturday in January and February, and reservations are encouraged.
Derby drink:Everything you should know about the mint julep


In 2014 we introduced our first customized putty, Pacific Surf, followed by our 2015 release, Northwest Rainforest. There was a lot of trial and error before what we envisioned in our head became stunning reality. And then came the naming process. Not quite as difficult as naming your own child, but with a boatload of people weighing in, it was an adventure.
Now your child gets to enjoy the same design experience with Mixed by Me, Thinking Putty's first creative kit. Start with an idea: "I want a putty that reminds me of scuba diving with Uncle Tim." Then, using the instructional mat; one of the five small tins of clear putty; and the yellow, red, and blue concentrated putties; he will mix and match until he arrives at that just-right blue-green color. Enhance it with a smidgen of Glow-ifier and enjoy its awesome green glow by night. Or maybe your child wants to capture the color of that crazy metallic car he saw while shopping. Start with another tin of clear putty, recreate the color, add a bit of the Shimmer-izer and a touch of the Sparkle-izer and voila, instant success.

Students learn how to quickly and efficiently interpret graphs, which are used for everyday purposes as well as engineering analysis. Through a practice handout completed as a class and a worksheet completed in small groups, students gain familiarity in talking about and interpreting graphs. They use common graph terminology such as independent variable, dependent variable, linear data, linear relationship and rate of change. The equation for calculating slope is explained. The focus is on students becoming able to clearly describe linear relationships by using the language of slope and the rate of change between variables. At lesson end, students discuss the relationship between variables as presented by the visual representation of a graph. Then they independently complete a homework handout.
Engineers use models to make generalizations about the relationship between variables. In some cases, linear data is used to analyze trends over long periods of time. A best fit line can be used to approximate an exact relationship between variables that are related in a linear fashion. This vital information is extrapolated to large-scale models to help engineers refine and deepen their understanding of real-world phenomena, which is pivotal in many engineering designs.

(In advance, make copies of the Introduction to Variables and Graphs Handout, one per student, and be ready, if possible, to project the same handout on the classroom board so all students can see it. In addition, make student copies of the Interpreting Graphs Worksheet and Interpreting Graphs Homework.)
How often do you see graphs throughout your day or week? How much time do you spend reading or looking over a graph each week? What are some different graphs, or graphical representations of data? (Possible answers: Bar graphs, line graphs, scatter plots, pie charts, even Venn diagrams.)
Take a minute to think about the prevalence of graphs and charts in your daily lives. Write down on a piece of paper locations you might see graphs and charts, and what those graphs and charts might represent. (After a minute has passed, asked a few students to share their thoughts. Expected location answers: Newspapers, magazines, TV news, math class. Expect a wide range of answers for what the graphs and charts represent, for example weather data, economic data and many other topics.)

When you see a graph or a chart in documents such as newspapers and magazines, the authors are trying to condense a massive amount of data into a clear and easy-to-understand visual representation. However, what is more important is that the author has made conscious decisions about how to create and display the graph. Our goal today is to think critically about graphs in order to understand everything their creators are trying to communicate, and clearly articulate the relationship between the variables presented.
Let's focus primarily on data that has somewhat linear trends. We are going to think about some of the details embedded in linear data so that we can use appropriate language to discuss the data with our peers.
(Pass out the Introduction to Variables and Graphs Handout. With the same handout projected on the classroom board for all students to see, go through each problem with students and fill in answers as they do the same on their handouts. Refer to the Introduction to Variables and Graphs Handout Answer Key for answers. Continue on by presenting to students the content information in the Lesson Background section.) Following the lesson, students can apply their new knowledge in the associated activity Linear Models and Latex Explosion! and apply it towards invesigating and graphing the relationship between the wall thickness of latex and its strength.
Graph Basics
The basic format of a linear graph is shown in Figure 1. Review this basic graph format with students.
Figure 1. An example graph with its primary components labeled.
Copyright © 2013 Carleigh Samson, College of Engineering, University of Colorado Boulder
The x-axis generally displays the independent variable, while the y-axis shows the dependent variable. If a graph involves time, time is always an independent variable, since changes in time are not dependent on any other variables changing. The dependent variable is a variable that changes based on the change in the independent variable. The graph displays the relationship between these two variables; it shows how the dependent variable changes based on the change in the independent variable.
Figure 1 shows data points for each observed dependent variable value and its corresponding independent variable value. Each point can be displayed as (independent variable value, dependent variable value), for example (8, 7) is a data point on the Figure 1 graph. The graph also displays a best fit line for the data set. While students are not expected to calculate a best fit line, expect them to be able to identify it as the best possible line to capture the trend of the data. Make sure they understand that the line travels through the center of the linear trend of the data points.
The equation for the best fit line in Figure 1 is also displayed on the graph. The equation for a line is written in the form: y = mx +b, where m = slope and b = y-intercept. Since the equation of the best fit line in Figure 1 is y = 0.9687 – 1.6328, this means that the slope m = 0.9687 and the y-intercept b = -1.6328. If the line is extended to intersect with the y-axis, the y-intercept is the y-coordinate of that intersection point. The slope of the line is equal to the rate of change in the dependent variable divided by the rate of change of the independent variable. Other ways of stating this are that slope is equal to the change in y over the change in x, or that slope is equal to the rise over the run.
Given two points on a line, the slope of that line can be calculated. If the points are (x1, y1) and (x2, y2), slope is equal to:
For example, if you want to find the slope of the line on which the points (4.5, 6) and (8, 7.2) lie, the calculations would be:
Bring to the lesson discussion any number and/or types of example graphs to show and explain to students during the entire-class portion of the lesson. Incorporate any everyday graphs that you have recently seen or come across.
Discuss the concept of graphs via the Introduction/Motivation section content. Encourage students to discuss and offer their own ideas. Keep track of students' thinking by writing ideas on the board and organizing them in appropriate categories.
Show the class the Introduction to Variables and Graphs Handout via projector and walk through each example noting the important elements that go into describing the relationship between variables. For each graph, write out a two- to three-sentence description utilizing the following words: dependent variable, independent variable, relationship, and rate of change. After the Introduction/Motivation content is presented, review all the vocabulary terms and their definitions with students.
Use the three graphs on the Interpreting Graphs Worksheet to discuss with students how to appropriately describe the relationship between variables. In advance, go over these worksheet graphs and think through how you would describe them using language that is similar to the normal language you use in the classroom.
Linear Models and Latex Explosion! - Using latex tubes and bicycle pumps, students conduct experiments to determine the relationship between wall thickness and latex strength. They graph their experimental data and determine best fit lines for the relationship between the variables. They extrapolate information to make predictions for latex strength of thicker latex. In addition, they predict the wall thickness for a latex strength that can handle 300 psi air pressure. With this analysis, students can answer the unit's design challenge question by determining the necessary wall thickness of latex that could be used in modern sedans to serve as hybrid vehicle accelerators.
dependent variable: The observed and recorded change in a value or variable based on the change in the independent variable.
graph: A diagram exhibiting the relationship between values and variables.
independent variable: A variable or value that is manipulated or changed.
linear data: Quantitative data that exhibits a line-like relationship between the dependent and independent variables when graphed.
rate of change: The change in the dependent variable relative to the change in the independent variable.
Pre-Lesson Assessment
Guided Practice: Make copies of the Introduction to Variables and Graphs Handout, one per student, and project it in the classroom so everyone can see it. Ask students to describe the relationship between variables in the first graph as best they can. Ask them to include the vocabulary terms in their descriptions: independent variable, dependent variable, linear data/linear relationship, and rate of change. Give students 1-2 minutes. Choose a few students to share their ideas and write these on the classroom board. Work off of their descriptions in order to revise and finalize the description using appropriate words. Do this same process for the rest of the handout graphs.
Post-Introduction Assessment
Group Work: Divide the class into groups and hand out the .Interpreting Graphs Worksheet Ask students to fill in the blanks. With only five minutes left, ask them to write their answers on a poster board provided for the rest of the class to evaluate.
Lesson Summary Assessment
Class Review: As a class, discuss all worksheet answers. Ask student representatives from each group to share their answers. As a class, discuss any answer disputes; use the Interpreting Graphs Worksheet Answer Key as a guide to settle any confusion. As student representatives present their answers, assess students by considering the following questions:
Is the language students are using appropriate? Are students using the language you modeled at the beginning of class?
Did they clearly describe all aspects of each graph?
Did they answer possible questions in a relevant manner?
Individual Work: Assign students to complete the Interpreting Graphs Homework. Collect the homework the following day and grade it based on the Interpreting Graphs Homework Answer Key. While returning the graded homework, review as a class any questions that students answered incorrectly.
Look at a USA Today newspaper for examples of graphs and charts that present everyday topics students can relate to, or search for "USA Today graphs and charts" for some examples, such as a pie chart showing the breakdown of "Who cooks on Mother's Day?"
Have students express their creativity in illustrating data by creating interactive infographics at infogr.am, a free application enabling the creation of more than 30 chart types, anything from bubble charts and treemaps to simple pie charts.

Closing Gender Wage Gap Would Cut Poverty Rate In Half, Report Says
Sarah Fruchtnicht
Closing the gender wage gap would cut poverty in half and add nearly a half trillion dollars to the economy, according to a special report from Maria Shriver and the Center for American Progress.
On average, American women make 77 cents for every dollar a man makes. That rate has been stable for the last five years, ThinkProgress reports. That gap has a large impact on woman as well as childrem.
"That's 42 million women and the 28 million children who depend on them, living one single incident—a doctor's bill, a late paycheck, or a broken-down car—away from economic ruin," the Shriver Report said in a release.
"We report that closing the wage gap between men and women would cut the poverty rate in half, adding nearly half a trillion dollars to the national economy and boosting the gross domestic product by 2 to 3 percent," it said.
If women working full time made the same amount as men, it would boost their income their incomes by $6,250 a year on average, according to economists Heidi Hartmann and Jeffrey Hayes of the Institute for Policy Research.
This money would effectively cut the poverty rate in half, raising 3 million of the nearly 6 million working women above the poverty line.
The extra money would also bolster the economy as a whole, raising GDP by 2.9 percent, or $450 billion.
"For too many American women, the dream of 'having it all' has morphed into 'just hanging on,'" said journalist Maria Shriver.
She says the report is meant to identify "what we as a nation can do about it."
"This nation cannot have sustained economic prosperity and well-being until women's new, central role is recognized and women's economic health is used as a measure-perhaps it should be the measure-to shape common-sense policies and priorities for the 21st century," Shriver wrote. "In other words, leave out the women, and you don't have a full and robust economy. Lead with the women, and you do."

WIPO Performances and Phonograms Treaty (WPPT)
Definition - What does WIPO Performances and Phonograms Treaty (WPPT) mean?
The WIPO Performances and Phonograms Treaty (WPPT) is an international agreement of the World Intellectual Property Organization that supplements the Berne Convention for the Protection of Literary and Artistic Works (Berne Convention) and the International Convention for the Protection of Performers, Producers of Phonograms and Broadcasting Organizations (Rome Convention). Like the WIPO Copyright Treaty (WCT), WPPT was created to address changes in digital technology and communications, particularly the distribution of digitally protected works over the Internet.
The WPPT is implemented in the U.S. as the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA).
Techopedia explains WIPO Performances and Phonograms Treaty (WPPT)
Known as the Internet Treaties, WPPT and WCT were enacted to respond to new marketplace and technology developments where an increasing amount of copyrighted work is distributed in digital form. WPPT was created to update WIPO copyright treaties and regulations, primarily with the rapidly evolving development of new markets, distribution, methods of use and types of works.
The WPPT was adopted by a consensus of 100 member states of the European Union (EU) in Geneva, Switzerland on December 20, 1996. At that time, the Berne and Rome Conventions had not been modified for 25 years.

by Hans Barendrecht, Martine Cammeraat and Esther Klaassen of Gevangenenzorg Nederland, the Prison Fellowship affiliate in the Netherlands.
The most important core value of Gevangenenzorg Nederland is the concept of merciful justice. This is an exciting concept that, at first, could seem like a contradiction in terms. It is not justice as contained in criminal law. Our judicial system is based on the principles of legitimacy and proportionality. This means that the punisher is working in accordance with the law and that the punishment is proportional to the offence or the crime. This is justice whereby the law may take its course but no restoration or fresh prospects are put forward.
On the other hand it is not the intention that merciful justice should be thought to be a denial of the existence of guilt and harm. Not at all! If that were to happen justice would lose all meaning. Without guilt there is no injustice and without harm no need for restoration.
Merciful justice is a view of justice whereby the notion of (just) retribution is not only perceived as being one-sided and punitive but also as restorative, personal and covering the full width of community life. That is the reason for the addition 'merciful' which puts justice in a whole new light. It spurs us on to put one of the good works into practice, that of visiting prisoners (bible book Matthew chapter 25) Visiting means meeting with, it means seeing someone as a person not just as an offender who has committed a punishable offence.
It is inherent to the Christian viewpoint that the fundamental worth of a person is not lessened by a crime, no matter how serious. It is against this background that we make the effort to offer prisoners and their families a positive outlook for the present and the future. Ideally the past might then also be dealt with in a suitable and mature manner. This fits in well with the Good Lives-concept.
Summing up, merciful justice can convey an interpretation of retribution with numerous facets. It recognizes the punitive perception of retribution but at the same time provides scope for restorative action.
....How does Gevangenenzorg Nederland give a practical interpretation to this concept of merciful justice? The answer is simple, by volunteers visiting prisoners and conversing with them. Under the guidance of professionals a national network of nearly 400 volunteers visits prisoners and TB patients. After release there is also an after-care period of at least six months. This system depends on mutual respect and trust and there are no judicial demands involved. Volunteers are also active in the care for the prisoners' families. As well as this one-to-one care there are also restorative justice programmes available for group sessions; the SOS course is one of these, more details of which can be found below.
....During or after the course various options for after-care are offered. Frequently it is Judicial Pastoral Care or a Behaviourist that takes up or maintains contact with the participant giving special consideration to the further development of restoration in his personal life. For actual restorative mediation a referral to Slachtoffer in Beeld (Victim in the Picture) is possible. It is a pity that this form of mediation can only be initiated where a punishable offence with a prosecution case number is concerned. We regularly come across prisoners who have things they want to put right with family or friends and it is regrettable that for them there are as yet no opportunities for restoration dialogue in such situations.
A third form of after-care is, at the request of the participant, setting up a visitor contact with a volunteer from Gevangenenzorg Nederland which is aimed at support and follow-up. The needs of each participant are considered as well as what would be of further assistance to him after following the restorative programme. In that way our aims are dovetailed into their aims: A future for people with a past. That too is merciful justice.
Note: This is excerpted from an English translation of a Dutch article originally appearing in 'Tijdschrift voor Herstelrecht' ('Journal for Restorative Justice').

Brahms – Symphony No. 1 in C minor, Op. 68 by Czech National Symphony Orchestra
Symphony No. 1 in C minor, Op. 68, by Johannes Brahms was first performed in 1876, conducted by Felix Otto Dessoff, a friend of the composer. It took Brahms at least 14 years to complete, the first sketches dating from 1862.
The long gestation of the symphony may be put down to two factors: on the one hand, Brahms' self-critical fastidiousness which led him to destroy many of his early works, and, on the other hand, the expectation of Brahms' friends and the public that Brahms would continue "Beethoven's inheritance" and produce a symphony of commensurate dignity and intellectual scope—an expectation which Brahms felt he could not fulfill easily in view of the monumental reputation of Beethoven.
The work is in the typical four movements, scored for two flutes, two oboes, two clarinets, two bassoons, contrabassoon, four horns, two trumpets, three trombones, timpani and strings.

Following on the interview on the Illustrated Sandman, Lo Spazio Bianco has talked with Leslie Klinger about his New Annotated H.P. Lovecraft, due to be published in autumn 2014, and the neverending success of Lovecraft's universe.
Mr. Klinger, you have been working on The Sandman and the Lovecraft's world at the same time: there has been some shortcircuits beetween those lines of research?
Certainly. Neil Gaiman is a great admirer of Lovecraft, and his famous Sherlockian story A Study in Emerald is set in that world. Gaiman also wrote a fine variant on The Shadow Over Innsmouth and other Lovecraftian tales. Gaiman has his own views about the significance of humanity, though. One thing that shines through Sandman to me, that is markedly absent from Lovecraft's work, is the sense that everyone has a story and every story is worth hearing.
Lovecraft tales survive despite the quality of style. I think their enduring success relies on that they have formed a mythological world and a taste for that. Just like superheroes and The Sandman do: do you see any resemblance between those approaches in creating worlds?
I disagree. Lovecraft did not create a coherent mythos – others who followed him did. The Gaiman universe is quite orderly by comparison. Also, in my view, Lovecraft's style is an essential part of the tale—the serious tone, the slightly archaic words and phrasing.
Several Lovecraft's tales have been adapted to comics. Have you taken them into account in your research? And do you think that analysing Lovecraft's tales though their adaptations could give some insights into them?
Indeed, I've loved reading the comic and other graphic adaptations, though some writers get too carried away with tentacles and trying to visualize the "unnameable". Alan Moore's brilliant take called Necronomicon, I think, offers a modern view of one of Lovecraft's stories. BTW, Alan wrote a terrific introduction to my New Annotated H. P. Lovecraft – you'll enjoy it very much!
Does "New Annotated H.P. Lovecraft" take into account the whole of Lovecraft production, or just a selection?
Lovecraft wrote 85 stories, including three short novels—there's simply too much material for an affordable one-volume annotated collection. I've selected 22 stories, primarily those that are part of the "Arkham" cycle, including Charles Dexter Ward and Mountains of Madness. I'm sorry for the ones that were omitted but it was necessary to keep the book at about 1,000 pages (with almost 1,000 notes).
Several "Annotated Lovecraft" exist: what is new in your New Annotated H.P. Lovecraft?
The annotated editions by S. T. Joshi are superb (although unillustrated), but they don't recognize any scholarship other than Joshi's own. Mine surveys the literature on Lovecraft, of which there is a great deal! I also spent more time providing factual-background footnotes and explanatory material, rather than concentrating on biographical details. And there are about 300 illustrations, including movie posters, book and comic covers, and many, many photographs of actual places and people (contributed by other Lovecraft scholars).
When the volume publication is scheduled?
New Annotated H.P. Lovecraft, is to be published by W. W. Norton in autumn 2014.
