Lesson: How to Read a Golf Course Scorecard

Introduction:
A golf course scorecard is a document that provides essential information about a golf course. It contains details such as the par, yardage, and slope rating of each hole. Understanding how to read a golf course scorecard can help you make informed decisions about which clubs to use and how to approach each shot.

Section 1: Understanding the Basics

**Topic 1: Par, Yardage, and Slope Rating**

Par is the number of strokes a skilled golfer should take to complete a hole. Yardage refers to the distance between the tee box and the hole. The slope rating indicates the difficulty level of a hole, with higher ratings indicating more challenging shots.

**Topic 2: Reading a Yardage Map**

A yardage map is a diagram that shows the layout of a golf course. It includes the location of tee boxes, hazards, and other obstacles. By studying a yardage map, you can plan your approach to each shot and choose the best club to use.

Section 2: Analyzing the Hole-by-Hole Breakdown

**Topic 3: Reading the Hole Descriptions**

Each hole on a golf course has its own unique set of challenges. The hole descriptions provide information about the layout of the hole, any hazards to avoid, and the ideal approach for each shot.

**Topic 4: Understanding the Stroke Index**

The stroke index is a numerical value assigned to each hole on a golf course. It indicates the difficulty level of the hole, with higher values indicating more challenging shots. This information can help you prioritize which holes to focus on during your round.

Section 3: Applying the Knowledge to Your Game

**Topic 5: Using the Scorecard to Plan Your Approach**

By analyzing the par, yardage, and slope rating of each hole, you can develop a strategy for approaching each shot. For example, if you are facing a long par 5 with a high slope rating, you may want to lay up short of the green on your second shot to avoid a difficult chip or putt.

**Topic 6: Adjusting Your Play Based on Course Conditions**

Course conditions can vary greatly from day to day, affecting factors such as ball roll and green speed. By consulting the scorecard, you can make adjustments to your play based on current conditions. For example, if the greens are particularly fast, you may want to take more club to avoid three-putting.

Conclusion:

Understanding how to read a golf course scorecard is an essential skill for any golfer. By familiarizing yourself with the basic terminology and analyzing the hole-by-hole breakdown, you can develop a strategy for approaching each shot and adjust your play based on course conditions. With this knowledge, you can improve your game and enjoy a more rewarding golfing experience.

Steamed Steamed Steamed is dedicated to all things in and around Valve’s PC gaming service. Prev Next View All

Steam Spy just released a big 2016 data dump, and it’s certainly revealing.

Valve revealed the top 100 most money-making Steam games of 2016, but they didn’t provide any data beyond vague rankings. Steam Spy, on the other hand, offers data for days, but it’s all estimated, albeit fairly rigorously. Here are their most interesting findings:

About 370 million games got purchased or otherwise picked up in 2016. “Of course, that includes the sales outside of Steam, bundles, giveaways and free promotions,” added Steam Spy’s Sergey Galyonkin.

5,245 new games were released on Steam in 2016. The number’s been steadily increasing over the years, going from a mere 565 in 2013, to 1,772 in 2014, to 2,964 in 2015. This year, nearly 600 games were released in December alone.

While Steam now houses significantly more games than it did in previous years ( nearly 40 percent of all games on Steam were released in 2016

That said, Steam Spy’s Galyonkin added that Steam is generating tons of money elsewhere, in ways he can’t measure accurately. Microtransactions, especially, are only becoming more prolific as Steam opens the floodgates ever wider. “CSGO and Dota 2 have been improving in-game monetization steadily by adding more reasons for people to spend money,” Galyonkin told me in an email. “And then there is a number of 3rd-party free-to-play titles on Steam that seem to perform quite well: War Thunder, Paladins, Warframe, SMITE. GTA V also sells in-game currency for GTA Online.” And that’s just the tip of the iceberg.

As far as individual game sales go, No Man’s Sky made the most money of any self-published game, despite the negative reception (and because of a massive marketing campaign). Stardew Valley also did extremely well, pulling in more money from pure unit sales on Steam than heavy hitters like Deus Ex: Mankind Divided, Dishonored 2, Mafia III, and Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare.

People really like Civilization. Also Grand Theft Auto. Oh, and it seems like Counter-Strike: Global Offensive is doing pretty alright.

And finally, the (in my opinion) most interesting insight: there weren’t really any big new crafting/survival hits in 2016. Games like Ark: Survival Evolved kept on trucking, but the genre failed to produce its Next Big Thing. Strategy and simulation games, however, had a sudden explosion of popularity. Steam Spy pointed to big rags-to-riches hits like Stardew Valley, RimWorld, Factorio, Planet Coaster, Slim Rancher, Scrap Mechanic, and Youtubers Life as well as games from established companies like Civilization VI, XCOM 2, Stellaris, Total War: Warhammer, Football Manager 2017, and Master of Orion.

Do you see any other interesting trends in Steam Spy’s data? And did you buy more Steam games this year than in previous years, or fewer?

You’re reading Steamed, Kotaku’s page dedicated to all things in and around Valve’s wildly popular PC gaming service. Games, culture, community creations, criticism, guides, videos—everything. If you’ve found anything cool/awful on Steam, send us a message to let us know.

These are exciting times for the select-but-growing band of Westminster-watchers interested in the role land value plays in our housing crisis – and in the wider economy.

Just before Christmas, there was the launch of a new All Party Parliamentary Group on Land Value Capture, chaired by Sir Vince Cable. Then the Communities and Local Government (CLG) committee launched an inquiry into the ‘effectiveness of current land value capture methods’. This sort of language may not set pulses racing, but it’s music to the ears of some of us. It’s pertinent timing – just as Sir Oliver Letwin’s review of build out rates begins, and as the government rewrites the National Planning Policy Framework.

The National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF) sets out the rules local planning policies must follow – including the all-important ones on how much affordable housing and local infrastructure developments should provide. These rules are themselves the subject of a separate consultation, which all adds up to a busy time for policy geeks like me.

Land value sharing

When the local authority grants planning permission for new homes on, for example, a piece of ex-industrial land, the value of that land goes through the roof. That’s very nice for the landowner – but it’s the authority, acting on behalf of the community, that has created that uplift. So it’s only fair that the community should get some of that value back – especially as development also imposes cost on those who live and work near by.

New homes require new roads, new schools, new parks and other facilities to avoid overburdening existing services. So the planning system rightly demands that those profiting from the grant of planning permission contribute towards to those public benefits. Although it is the developer that gets the planning permission (and therefore pays the bill), developers know that they will have to make these payments – and should take that into account when paying for the land. In effect, the cost should be borne by the landowner, who will get a lower land price than they would have if no community benefits were required.

This doesn’t mean the landowner loses out either, because they still get to sell their asset for many times more than what it was previously worth. The uplift can be absolutely enormous– especially when agricultural land in high pressure housing market areas is released for housing.

Sharing land value

At present, there are two main mechanisms for sharing – or capturing, if you prefer – that land value uplift with the community. These are Section 106 agreements and the Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL). The first is usually paid in kind; the S106 agreement will specify how much affordable housing the developer must build alongside the private homes that make the money. CIL is a cash charge, which the local authority gets to pay for infrastructure.

Both of these approaches are fine in principle.The problem is how the two interact in the murky world of financial viability assessments .. In a nutshell, CIL payments are a fixed amount, which the developer knows they will have to pay in advance. But affordable housing policies are more ‘flexible’ – and challengeable. The S106 agreement for each planning application is negotiated separately between the developer and the authority. It’s not hard to guess what happens when the developer challenges the authority’s demands: the CIL gets paid and the S106 gets watered down. The affordable housing eats last.

Happily, this problem should soon be tackled, as the government intends to reform viability in the NPPF rewrite. In his Budget last November, Philip Hammond also proposed some improvements to the CIL system. These are essentially sensible measures to tighten up the CIL system and encourage more local authorities to adopt CIL. The best part is the recognition that where the land value uplift created by planning permission is particularly high, the CIL rates should be much higher.

My one note of caution here: CIL’s greatest strength is that it is fixed, which means it actually gets factored into land prices. Any moves to make CIL more flexible or responsive to market changes should be careful not to undermine that strength. Otherwise it risks falling into the same circularity as S106. This would mean a developer who bets on being able to haggle down their contribution can offer the landowner more. Having overpaid to win the site, they can then – legally – use the price they paid to show that any community contribution will not be viable.

We urgently need the NPPF rewrite to put to end this vicious circle, as promised. If the CIL reforms can avoid accidentally reinstating it, we could be on the verge of a more sensible and effective system for sharing the uplift in land value. That would give local communities more of the affordable housing and infrastructure they need. It would also give developers the greater certainty they need to grow.

Better sharing of land value uplift would be a big step towards building a greater number of more, higher-quality affordable homes. If the Letwin Review also moves to address the problems of speculation and excessive land prices, it could add up to the biggest land market reform in half a century. Now that would be truly exciting.

Lesson: Understanding the Role of Land Value in the Housing Crisis and the Economy

Introduction:
Land value is a critical component in the housing crisis and the economy. In this lesson, we will explore the role of land value in these areas and discuss the implications for policy-making. We will cover the following topics:

1. The Importance of Land Value in the Housing Crisis
2. Land Value Capture Methods
3. The Impact of Land Value on the Economy

The Importance of Land Value in the Housing Crisis

Land value plays a significant role in the housing crisis. The cost of land is one of the main factors contributing to the high price of housing. When the cost of land increases, developers can charge more for homes, making them less affordable for ordinary people. Additionally, the scarcity of land in urban areas contributes to the housing shortage, which drives up prices even further.

Land Value Capture Methods

Land value capture refers to the process of capturing the increase in land value that results from public investment or policy changes. This can take several forms, including:

1. Tax Increment Financing (TIF): TIF is a tool that allows local governments to finance public infrastructure projects by borrowing against the future tax revenues generated by those projects.

2. Land Value Taxation: This is a tax levied on the unimproved value of land. It is based on the idea that landowners should pay for the value they receive from public investments and services.

3. Development Rights: Governments can sell development rights to developers, who then use them to build taller buildings or denser developments.

The Impact of Land Value on the Economy

Land value has a significant impact on the economy. When land values rise, it becomes more expensive to build new homes, which can lead to a decrease in housing supply. This can cause inflation, as the cost of housing rises faster than wages. Additionally, land value can affect the location of businesses. When land values are high in one area, businesses may locate in nearby areas with lower land values to reduce costs.

Conclusion:

Understanding the role of land value in the housing crisis and the economy is essential for policy-makers. By implementing effective land value capture methods, governments can ensure that the benefits of public investment are shared equitably among citizens. Additionally, by understanding the impact of land value on the economy, policymakers can make informed decisions that promote economic growth and stability.

Lesson: Introduction to Pharmaceuticals

## Section 1: Theoretical Concepts

In this lesson, we will learn about pharmaceuticals, which are medications that are used to treat diseases or improve health. We will explore the different types of pharmaceuticals, their uses, and how they work in the body.

**Question:** What are pharmaceuticals?
**Answer:** Pharmaceuticals are medications that are used to treat diseases or improve health. They can be made from natural sources, synthesized in a laboratory, or derived from living organisms.

**Question:** What are some common types of pharmaceuticals?
**Answer:** Some common types of pharmaceuticals include antibiotics, pain relievers, antihistamines, and antidepressants.

**Question:** How do pharmaceuticals work in the body?
**Answer:** Pharmaceuticals work in the body by targeting specific cells, organs, or systems to produce a desired effect. For example, antibiotics work by killing bacteria or inhibiting their growth, while pain relievers work by blocking pain signals from being sent to the brain.

## Section 2: Practical Examples

Now that we understand the theoretical concepts behind pharmaceuticals, let's look at some practical examples.

**Example 1:** Antibiotics are commonly prescribed to treat bacterial infections. When a person has an infection, their immune system sends white blood cells to fight off the invading bacteria. However, some bacteria are resistant to the immune system's defenses. Antibiotics work by killing or inhibiting the growth of these resistant bacteria, allowing the immune system to do its job and fight off the infection.

**Example 2:** Antihistamines are medications that are used to treat allergies. When a person is exposed to an allergen, their body produces a chemical called histamine, which causes symptoms such as sneezing, itching, and redness. Antihistamines work by blocking the effects of histamine, preventing these symptoms from occurring.

**Example 3:** Antidepressants are medications that are used to treat depression and anxiety disorders. These medications work by affecting the levels of certain chemicals in the brain, such as serotonin and norepinephrine, which are involved in regulating mood and emotions.

## Section 3: Self-Debating Discussions

Now that we have explored the theoretical and practical aspects of pharmaceuticals, let's engage in some self-debating discussions to further our understanding of this topic.

**Discussion 1:** Should antibiotics be prescribed for every case of a bacterial infection, or should they only be used when necessary to avoid the development of antibiotic resistance?

**Discussion 2:** Are there any potential side effects or risks associated with taking pharmaceuticals? If so, what are they, and how can they be mitigated?

**Discussion 3:** How do the costs and benefits of pharmaceuticals compare? Are there instances where the costs may outweigh the benefits, or vice versa?

## Glossary

- Pharmaceuticals: medications that are used to treat diseases or improve health
- Antibiotics: medications that are used to kill or inhibit the growth of bacteria
- Antihistamines: medications that are used to treat allergies by blocking the effects of histamine
- Antidepressants: medications that are used to treat depression and anxiety disorders by affecting the levels of certain chemicals in the brain

## Conclusion

In this lesson, we have learned about pharmaceuticals, their types, and how they work in the body. We also explored practical examples and engaged in self-debating discussions to further our understanding of this topic. By applying the skills and knowledge gained from this lesson, we can make informed decisions about our health and wellbeing.

Tony Gwynn Jr., then with the Padres, hugs his dad, Hall of Famer Tony Gwynn Sr., on Father's Day in 2009. (AP)

UPDATE: Tony Gwynn died Monday at age 54. The following story ran Sunday, June 15 on Father's Day.

* * *

Tony Gwynn Jr. will rise in Philadelphia on Sunday morning and wait for the call from the West Coast. It’s Father’s Day, of course, and Gwynn’s heart will bubble with joy when he hears the voices of his wife and three young daughters who are still back home in San Diego finishing up the school year.

After receiving all those long-distance Father’s Day hugs from his girls, Gwynn will place a call right back to the West Coast to deliver some Father’s Day love of his own.

“I always try to get in an I love you,” he said. “For a while that was uncomfortable for me, I don’t know why. But since 2010, it hasn’t been uncomfortable. It’s something I want to make sure I get in because you never know what’s going to happen.”

Gwynn’s father, Tony Gwynn Sr., is one of the greatest hitters in baseball history, an eight-time National League batting champion, perennial All-Star, first-ballot Hall of Famer and undisputed gentleman of the game. He was one of those rare players, like Banks, Ripken and Musial, whose talent, longevity and personality allowed him to become synonymous with his ballclub. He is so identifiable with San Diego’s major league baseball team that they call him Mr. Padre. It says it right on the statue outside the stadium.

To Tony Jr., Mr. Padre is just “Pops.”

“My best friend,” said Tony Jr., a 31-year-old outfielder in his eighth big-league season and first with the Phillies. “Just a good dude.”

Anyone who has ever met Tony Gwynn Sr. would agree with that.

* * *

There are probably reasons why young Tony didn’t find it easy to tell his dad he loved him when he was a youngster. (There’s one right there -- youth.) Maybe he was too busy playing catch with his dad, or taking swings with him, or picking his brain about hitting -- that would be like talking religion with God, wouldn’t it? -- to say it. Maybe he was too busy playing pranks, like the time he secretly turned the car stereo up full-blast and Pops, his eardrums ringing, came charging into the house shouting, “Ant-nee! Leave my radio alone!”

But it all changed in 2010 when Pops was found to have cancer in a salivary gland. Suddenly, those I love yous came a lot easier for Junior. Tony Sr. has had two surgeries since the diagnosis, one to remove a cancerous tumor from inside his right cheek. He has theorized that years of using chewing tobacco led to his cancer, but his doctors have not proven that. Either way, young Tony quit chewing cold turkey when his father was diagnosed. He said he sneaked a pinch last year, but quickly rethought his decision.

Four years after being diagnosed with cancer, Tony Gwynn Sr. fights on.

In recent months, the battle has gotten tougher. Gwynn has tried some new treatments that have sapped his energy and weakened his immune system. In March, he had to take a leave of absence from San Diego State University, where he has been head baseball coach since 2003. The Aztecs went on to win the Mountain West Conference tournament with a Tony Gwynn bobblehead sitting in the dugout taking in all the action. Tony Jr. played one season for his dad in college before being selected by Milwaukee in the 2003 draft. It was a special time for the kid because, after watching his best friend leave on Padres’ road trips all those years, “I got him all year long and it was awesome.”

The last few months have not been awesome.

“This has been the hardest of the four years he’s fought it, by far,” Tony Jr. said.

“When I left for spring training he was in a good spot, and now he’s not in that same spot, so from that standpoint I guess it has worsened. But in the big scheme of things, which is getting healthy so he can do the things he wants to do, I see light at the end of the tunnel. I can’t say that he does, but then again he’s the one going through this, and it’s tough on him.”

As a player, Tony Gwynn exhibited a great joy for the game. He was known for his big smile, his spirit and his enthusiasm almost as much as his sweet left-handed stroke.

It’s tough to hear that this good man, just 54 years old, is going through such a difficult time.

“Imagine what it’s like for a son who’s been with him his whole life and known that same guy off and on the field,” Tony Jr. said. “It’s heartbreaking.”

Tony Jr. gets updates on his dad’s health from his mother, Alicia, who is by her husband’s side as he fights the fight at home in San Diego. Alicia and Tony Sr. were high school sweethearts.

“She’s really been both of our pillars,” Tony Jr. said. “That’s nothing new. She’s been that way our whole life.”

When Tony Jr. was a kid, he’d accompany his father to work at Jack Murphy Stadium every day once school got out. They’d talk baseball to and from the ballpark. OK, sometimes they’d talk hoops. Tony Sr. played baseball and basketball at San Diego State and Tony Jr. was a pretty fair basketball player himself.

“It took me till I was 15 to beat him in one on one,” Tony Jr. said.

Tony Jr. can tell his father’s battle has gotten more serious from their recent phone calls. They hardly talk baseball these days.

“A lot of our conversations have been brief lately, which isn’t normal because we both like to talk -- a lot,” Tony Jr. said. “The last conversation we had about baseball was in spring training.

“It’s usually just about his health and that’s unusual, too, because usually when we talk it’s about baseball.

“For us not to talk about baseball for that long -- it’s been difficult, I’m not going to lie. It’s something that I’ve always had, even as an adult. Even when I didn’t steer the conversation to baseball, he steered the conversation to baseball. So that lets me know how he’s doing, really, the fact that he doesn’t even bring up baseball.

“He’s hurting. No doubt.”

* * *

While there are more important matters than baseball in the Gwynn family’s life right now, the game does have its place.

Tony Jr. said the most memorable advice his dad ever gave him was: Take care of your family. Baseball is his job, it’s how he takes care of his family. He is ready to play every day, and his dad should be proud. Phillies management is aware of Gwynn’s personal situation. They have told him he can be excused to be with his dad at any time, but he presses on.

“I go through moments during the day where it’s heavy on the mind and then I get a little bit of a reprieve during the game or in the batting cage,” he said. “Other than that, when there’s down time, I’m usually thinking about my dad.”

Tony Gwynn Jr. inherited his dad’s smile and friendly personality. He even sounds like his dad when he talks. Even in these tough times, he’s full of hope and optimism. He believes his dad will win this toughening battle and coach at San Diego State again.

“He’s a fighter,” Tony Jr. said. “He’s going to battle it out, but please keep him in your prayers.”

There will be nothing uncomfortable about it when Tony Gwynn Jr. calls home and tells his Pops, “I love you,” this Father’s Day. It will be strong and clear and he will repeat it every day until next Father’s Day and the one after that and the one after that …

“This hasn’t been the easiest year for the Gwynn family, but we’ll make it through,” he said.

Lesson: Introduction to Baseball

### Overview

Baseball is a popular sport played by millions of people around the world. In this lesson, we will introduce you to the basic rules and concepts of baseball so that you can understand and enjoy the game. We will cover topics such as the field, the equipment, the objective of the game, and the basic strategies used by teams. By the end of this lesson, you will have a solid understanding of baseball and be able to follow along as the game unfolds.

### Section 1: The Field

The field in baseball is a diamond shape with four bases: first, second, third, and home plate. The four bases are arranged in a square, with home plate in the center. The field is divided into three outfield areas: left field, center field, and right field. There is also an infield area between the bases, which includes the shortstop, second base, first base, and third base positions.

### Section 2: The Equipment

There are several pieces of equipment used in baseball, including a bat, ball, gloves, helmets, and uniforms. The bat is used by the batter to hit the ball, while the glove is used by the fielders to catch the ball. Helmets are worn to protect the head from flying balls and bats, and uniforms are worn to identify the players on each team.

### Section 3: The Objective of the Game

The objective of the game is to score more runs than the other team. This is done by hitting the ball with the bat and running around the bases until you reach home plate. The team with the most runs at the end of the game wins.

### Section 4: Basic Strategies

There are several basic strategies used by teams in baseball. One strategy is to get as many runners as possible on base before the batter hits the ball. This increases the chances of scoring a run. Another strategy is to steal bases, which involves the runner attempting to advance to the next base while the pitcher is throwing the ball to the catcher. Finally, teams may use defensive strategies such as shifting the fielders to certain areas of the field based on the batter's tendencies.

### Section 5: Conclusion

In conclusion, baseball is a fun and exciting sport that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. By understanding the basic rules and strategies of the game, you can appreciate the skill and athleticism required to play at a high level. Whether you are a fan or a player, we hope this lesson has given you a better appreciation for the great game of baseball.

Title: Introduction to Linear Equations

### Lesson Overview
In this lesson, we will learn about linear equations, which are mathematical expressions that represent a relationship between two variables. We will cover the basics of linear equations, including how to solve them and how to graph them. This lesson is designed for primary through high school students who want to learn the fundamentals of linear equations.

### Lesson Outline
1. What are Linear Equations?
2. Solving Linear Equations
3. Graphing Linear Equations
4. Applications of Linear Equations
5. Conclusion

### Lesson Content
1. What are Linear Equations?

A linear equation is a mathematical expression that shows the relationship between two variables, usually represented by x and y. Linear equations can be written in slope-intercept form (y = mx + b), where m is the slope of the line and b is the y-intercept. Linear equations can also be written in point-slope form (y - y1 = m(x - x1)), where (x1, y1) is a point on the line and m is the slope of the line.

2. Solving Linear Equations

To solve a linear equation, we need to find the value of x that makes the equation true. We can do this by isolating the variable (x) on one side of the equation and the constants on the other side. There are different methods to solve linear equations, such as substitution, elimination, and graphing.

3. Graphing Linear Equations

Graphing linear equations involves plotting the points on a coordinate plane and drawing a straight line through them. The slope of the line determines the steepness of the line, and the y-intercept determines the point where the line crosses the y-axis. By knowing the slope and y-intercept, we can graph the line and see where it passes through the coordinate plane.

4. Applications of Linear Equations

Linear equations have many applications in real life, such as calculating distances, finding areas, and solving problems in finance and economics. For example, if you know the rate at which an object is moving (slope) and its position at a certain time (y-intercept), you can use a linear equation to determine its distance traveled and its velocity.

5. Conclusion

Linear equations are essential tools in mathematics and have many applications in real life. By learning how to solve, graph, and apply linear equations, we can gain valuable problem-solving skills that will help us in various fields.

Lesson: Introduction to Business Operations

### Section 1: Theoretical Concepts

In this lesson, we will learn about business operations, which refer to the day-to-day activities that keep a business running smoothly. This includes everything from managing inventory to handling customer orders and ensuring that the business is profitable.

### Questions and Answers

**Question:** What is business operations?

**Answer:** Business operations refer to the day-to-day activities that keep a business running smoothly. This includes everything from managing inventory to handling customer orders and ensuring that the business is profitable.

### Section 2: Practical Examples

Let's take a look at an example of business operations in action. Imagine that you own a small bakery that specializes in making artisan bread. Your bakery is growing quickly, and you need to expand your production capabilities to meet the increasing demand. You decide to hire more bakers and invest in new equipment to help you bake more bread faster. These are both examples of business operations - you need to manage your inventory of flour and other ingredients, ensure that your new equipment is functioning properly, and train your new employees to work efficiently.

### Section 3: Real-World Scenarios

Now let's consider a real-world scenario. Suppose that you are the owner of a small clothing store that specializes in selling eco-friendly clothing made from organic cotton. You have been successful so far, but you want to expand your customer base and reach more people who are interested in sustainable fashion. One way to do this is to create a marketing campaign that highlights the environmental benefits of your clothing. This involves creating a plan for how you will reach potential customers, such as through social media or email newsletters, and what message you will convey to them. This is another example of business operations - you need to manage your inventory of eco-friendly clothing, ensure that your marketing materials are accurate and compelling, and track your sales to see if your campaign is successful.

### Conclusion

In this lesson, we have learned about the concept of business operations, explored practical examples, and considered real-world scenarios. By understanding the importance of business operations, we can better manage our own businesses and ensure that they are successful and profitable.

Grading Duke: "A" for acknowledgment.
The death of seventeen-year-old heart transplant patient Jesica Santillan at Duke University Hospital due to a mismatch of blood types sent shockwaves across the country and brought heightened attention to the issue of medical error. This Article explores the modern literature on medical error and proposes changes in medical culture to effectuate a system in which medical errors can be reported without fear. It argues that the way to achieve this goal is by placing less focus on the individual and more on systemic factors that provide the conditions in which errors occur. This new system would take a proactive approach to error, change the culture of medicine, and relieve physicians of the burden of impossible overachievement.

Lesson: Understanding Pay Increases in the Workplace

Introduction:
In this lesson, we will learn about the different types of pay increases and how they are determined in the workplace. We will also explore the reasons behind these increases and their impact on employee motivation and productivity.

Section 1: Types of Pay Increases

Topic 1: Merit-based Increases
A merit-based increase is a pay raise that is awarded to an employee based on their performance and contribution to the organization. This type of increase is typically given to employees who have exceeded expectations and have demonstrated exceptional skill or dedication.

Topic 2: Cost-of-Living Increases
A cost-of-living increase (COLA) is a pay raise that is given to employees to help offset the rising costs of living expenses such as food, housing, and transportation. COLA increases are usually based on the consumer price index (CPI) and are designed to ensure that employees' wages keep pace with inflation.

Topic 3: Promotional Increases
A promotional increase is a pay raise that is given to an employee when they are promoted to a higher position within the organization. This type of increase recognizes the employee's increased responsibility and the additional skills and knowledge required for the new role.

Section 2: Determining Pay Increases

Topic 1: Performance Evaluations
Performance evaluations are a common way for organizations to determine which employees are eligible for pay increases. During a performance evaluation, a manager assesses an employee's job performance and determines whether they have met or exceeded expectations. This information is then used to decide whether the employee should receive a merit-based increase, a promotion, or a COLA increase.

Topic 2: Budget Considerations
Budget considerations are another factor that organizations take into account when determining pay increases. Organizations may have limited funds available for salary increases, and may need to prioritize which employees receive increases based on their performance and contribution to the organization.

Topic 3: Market Rates
Market rates refer to the average salaries paid for similar positions in the same geographic area. Organizations may use market rate data to determine whether their current salaries are competitive and whether they need to offer pay increases to attract and retain top talent.

Section 3: Impact of Pay Increases

Topic 1: Motivation
Pay increases can have a significant impact on employee motivation. When employees feel that their hard work and contributions are recognized and rewarded with a pay increase, they are more likely to feel valued and satisfied with their jobs. This can lead to increased motivation and productivity.

Topic 2: Retention
Pay increases can also help organizations retain their top talent. When employees receive regular pay increases, they are less likely to feel undervalued or underpaid, which can lead to resignation or job hopping.

Topic 3: Recruitment
Competitive salaries and regular pay increases can also help organizations attract top talent. Candidates often consider salary and benefits when deciding whether to accept a job offer, and organizations that offer competitive compensation packages are more likely to attract and hire the best candidates.

Glossary:
- Consumer Price Index (CPI): a measure of the average change over time in the prices paid by urban consumers for a market basket of consumer goods and services.
- Market Rates: the average salaries paid for similar positions in the same geographic area.

Conclusion:
Understanding the different types of pay increases and how they are determined can help employees advocate for themselves and negotiate better compensation packages. Additionally, organizations that offer fair and competitive salaries and regular pay increases can attract and retain top talent, leading to increased motivation, productivity, and overall success.

text: Young Chinese aren’t well educated in history, and there’s little evidence of much interest. They know what the state wants them to know (“post-Communist” China still retains tight educational and publishing controls and retains a strongly Marxist-Nationalist narrative of history), and apparently the state mostly wants them to know and care about Japan’s WWII atrocities. In fact, it’s a major topic on the Chinese internet, with thousands of Chinese participating in detailed and fervent discussions of wrongs done to their grandparents/great-grandparents’ generation. [via Claire George]. Strategic? Most likely. Illegitimate? Well, yes, in the context of China’s overall historical revisionism; no, in the context of Japan’s leadership’s failure (and much of general society) to come to terms with that history in a meaningful fashion.. 1 Comment
