![]() We could have kept going back and forth, and that would have probably been fine with Yelp. “She wasn’t even a client, but there is nothing stopping her from putting up a review. “We had a bad review that we responded to in a professional manner.” Bechor says. That’s not what happens.”īusiness owners can also fall into the trap of engaging with a bad reviewer, and having that just cycle into more negativity. “But the algorithm should flag a derogatory term and remove the review. They love to hide behind the algorithm,” he says. In Smith’s experience, Yelp has set itself up as “judge, jury, and executioner. Their conclusion: the Yelp review filter is broken. In an analysis of the Yelp Review filter by Noah Zandan and Carrie Goldberger of Quantified, they found that deceptive or misleading reviews were not filtered out if the reviewer was more active on Yelp. In my reading of their terms of service, this was a clear violation. One bad review with a very derogatory term used. He recalls another incident “I had a client 10 years ago that faced a similar problem with Yelp. All based on one phone call interaction.” “There was no way to challenge or take it away from its position at the top of the reviews. Bechor and his team got a one-star review,” Smith says. “I was working with California Skyline’s Yelp reviews. What if a review seems to go against Yelp’s terms of service, or does not seem to have any basis in reality? Isn’t the algorithm there to catch that sort of thing, he points out. The challenges for small businesses do not end there, Smith says. The stock has had a fairly steady performance over the past five years. There was a significant dip in share price in 2020, for obvious reasons during the height of COVID, but the stock is currently sitting just under $40 as of this writing. Stockholders, however, seem to be satisfied with Yelp’s business model. Search the term “Yelp extortion” and you’ll find an endless array of articles from a decade ago right up to the present. And things do not seem to have changed much, Smith says. LA Times columnist David Lazarus brought this charge way back in 2014, and it is a major theme of the Billion Dollar Bully documentary. “Yelp and other companies are using their status as ‘user generated content’ platforms to absolve themselves of responsibility for bad behavior on the part of reviewers and business owners.”īeyond disagreements about reviews, there is that long history of concern about Yelp’s outright extortion. ![]() If you then go to claim your business listing, Smith says, you must first agree to the terms of service, with a major provision being massive barriers to suing Yelp.īut Yelp is in charge of interpreting another aspect of their terms of service and content guidelines, he adds. The challenge with Yelp starts with not having much of a choice: Businesses can and probably will be listed on Yelp with or without its permission. Yelp, however, disputes the accusations against it (see the company’s responses below). The basic critique made in the 2019 documentary is that Yelp in effect extorts small businesses for advertising fees in exchange for hiding bad reviews or otherwise manipulating what searchers see on the business Yelp page. It’s been two years since the film Billion Dollar Bully was released, and it seems like not much has changed at Yelp. “They either pay more money to push better reviews higher up on their Yelp business page, or they get hosed by negative reviews that may or may not have merit,” Bechor says. With more scrutiny coming to major tech companies in the past month (most notably, the whistleblower report on the Facebook suite of companies) might this dynamic change? Congress is putting pressure on big tech companies in an effort to stop them from hiding behind their algorithms, but small businesses that rely on their reputation feel the pressure of a “pay to play” no-win situation. For many business owners, the business model feels definitely skewed toward the “for worse” side of that equation, says Smith, who helps clients manage their online reputation, and finds Yelp among “the most problematic platforms to work with.” Yelp is a business advertising and review platform that seems by all accounts here to stay, for better or worse. “Yelp was more than happy to take his advertising dollars, but wouldn’t help Joe with a seemingly random review that he felt did not conform to Yelp’s terms of service,” says Joseph Smith, owner of 1REALTOUR.īechor is not alone. When Joe Bechor, CEO and founder of California Skyline Remodeling of Van Nuys, California, tried to work with Yelp to ethically manage his business profile and ad spend with Yelp, he ran up against a virtual brick wall. ![]() Occasionally, some antivirus programs or even Google Chrome can flag uTorrent as malware, but this has always proven to be a false positive. It’s widely considered to be the last version without bundled adware. Veteran torrenters still recommend uTorrent version 2.2.1. However, this is true only if you download it from the official website. It won’t infect you with any malware or other malicious software. These days, the uTorrent client is pretty safe. This bloatware ranged from lesser-known toolbars and browsers to crypto-mining riskware. UTorrent has had its share of blunders in the past, most of them stemming from so-called “ bloatware.” This is software bundled with uTorrent and installed without your knowledge.

Gonen Sharon ,Tel-Hai College / PLoS ONE ) A Rare Tool Bag From A Transitionary Time What a complete hook and lure would have looked like. Furthermore, plant fiber residues sampled from the bends of the hooks indicate the fishers were making and fishing with artificial lures. ![]() On the contrary, the fish bones discovered at the Lake Hula site include “giant carp that measured over 2 meters in length,” according to the study.įurthermore, unlike most modern hooks that have metal loops to hold lines, this ancient collection didn’t feature drilled holes, but rather, they had “sophisticated and diverse methods of attaching the line to the hook using “grooves, bulges and sophisticated knots, and even the use of glue,” wrote the scientists. We aren’t talking about thin fishing hooks here, those delicate one’s designed to catch brown trout in gentle chalk streams. Professor Gonen Sharon described this outer lower barb as a ‘“point of no return preventing the fish from escaping the hook.” This feature assured hooks snared inside fish jaws so when being pulled in they couldn’t escape while flipping around on the hooked line. Prof Gonen Sharon of Tel-Hai College, Israel, told Jerusalem Post that the ancient hooks “are amazingly similar to modern hooks.” The scientist was not only referring to the apparent “dexterity” observed in their overall construction, or to the size of the hooks, but the study shows that they were all carefully “barbed” with tiny backward facing points. Gonen Sharon / Tel-Hai College / PLoS ONE ) Fishing Is One Thing, But These Folk Were Also Luring Grooved stone inkers used for fishing in Israel’s Hula Valley 12,000 years ago. It was concluded that this variability alone highlights “the excellent knowledge these people had regarding fish behavior. Thus, it is perhaps no surprise Professor Sharon said the ancient collection contained a “huge variety in the hooks.” In fact, the researchers found “no two hooks were similar,” in that each one was different in size and style.

Originally posted by Spire:Heres a graphic I made for the numbering system that should actually help, with an explanation: candela metre^2 (cd m^2) (1 footlambert = 3.43 candela m^2).Luminance (brightness) - the luminous flux per unit projected area of a surface in a given direction (luminous flux/unit solid angle/unit area) measured in.units Illuminance is measured in footcandles (fc) in U.S. Illuminance is measured in lux (lx) in S.I. I lluminance - the luminous flux falling on a unit area of a surface at a point.Formally the candela is defined as "the luminous intensity in a given direction of a source emitting monochromatic radiation at 555 nm of which the radiant intensity is 1/683 watts steradian-1."īoth these have AREA measures associated with them. candela (cd) which is equivalent to the lumens per steradian (lumens steradian -1).Luminous intensity - the luminous flux emitted per unit solid angle in a specified direction.However, to describe the distribution of light from a source, Luminous flux is useful for describing the total light output of light sources. In SI units, luminous flux is measured in Luminous flux = radiant flux x relevant spectral sensitivity of visual system. Luminous flux - the fundamental quantity measuring the rate of flow of radiant energy modified for its effectiveness in creating the sensation of seeing i.e.Radiant flux is usually measured in watts.In the following section we will look at some of the theory behind photometry. Lamp manufacturers often aim to make fluorescent lamps which reproduce this distribution in the energy they emit. The light emitted by a more typicalįluorescent tube consists of several prominent spectral lines.ĭaylight consists of a much more even spread of wavelengths. Some fluorescent lamps are monochromatic: they emit light at just one wavelength or spectral line. They have a long life compared to incandescent lamps but are more expensive and more complicated electronically. This gives fluorescent lamps a relatively high efficacy and good color rendering properties. Most of the energy radiated by a fluorescent lamp, on the other hand, is emitted as visible light. Incandescent lamps are, however, cheap and easy to work with. This is obviously inefficient in terms of the conversion of electrical energy into light. A tungsten-filament (incandescent) lamp, for example, emits most of its radiant energy in the infrared region of the electromagnetic spectrum. The radiant-flux or electromagnetic-power spectra of different light sources varies considerably. The reason that our eyes are so easily damaged by looking at the sun is explained when we see that its luminance is 1000 times greater than this maximum level. The upper limit is determined by the luminance required to damage the retina. The eye can detect luminances from as little as one millionth of a cd/m2 up to a maximum of one million cd/m2. A typical luminance for a piece of white paper under an illuminance of 500 lux is thus 130 cd/m2. If the surface is diffuse then § can be replaced with "p", the diffuse reflection coefficient for the material. Iu is the luminous intensity in that direction.Īlternatively, the luminance of a surface can be calculated from the formula L = E x § / ¹ where § is the luminance factor of the surface material and is read from a table of values. Thus, L = Iu / A' where A' tends to 0.įor a plane surface the apparent area can be found from the equation: A' = A x cos u, where a is the actual area of the source, and u the angle between the normal to the surface and the direction of observation. The apparent area, A', is the area the source seems to have as seen by the observer. ![]() ![]() The brightness observed is called the luminance, L, and is defined as intensity per unit apparent area of light source.

Disclosure of risks may differ between physicians in community and academic settings, between younger and older physicians, or among those who perform minimally invasive compared with open procedures. The content of the informed consent discussion is closely linked with professional experience. As we will discuss further, in pediatric care we often need to expand our understanding of autonomy to recognize the autonomy of the family unit, allowing respect for both the privacy of the family unit, within limits, and parental authority and responsibility for medical decision-making. 2 However, the goals of the informed consent process (protecting and promoting health-related interests and incorporating the patient and/or the family in health care decision-making) are similar in the pediatric and adult population and are grounded by the same ethical principles of beneficence, justice, and respect for autonomy. A reliance on individual liberties and autonomy in the pediatric patient is not realistic or legally accepted, so parents or other surrogates provide “informed permission” for diagnosis and treatment, with the assent of the child as developmentally appropriate. 8, 9Īppropriate decisional capacity and legal empowerment are the determinants of decision-making authority in medicine. This long-standing American emphasis on individualism correlated with an increased interest in and attention to the issue of informed consent. The historical shift in US medical practice from paternalism to respect for individual autonomy was shaped by events in the 20th century, such as the distrust of the medical profession after the Nuremburg trial of Nazi doctors, widespread publicity regarding research ethics violations, the turbulence of the civil rights and women’s rights movements, and the long-standing American characteristic of individualism. ![]() 7 As a brief description, informed consent incorporates 2 duties: disclosing information to patients and their surrogates and obtaining legal authorization before undertaking any interventions. The support for informed consent in ethical theory is most commonly found in the concept of autonomy, the right of an autonomous agent to make decisions as guided by his or her own reason. The current concept of informed consent in medical practice has roots within both ethical theory and law. The purpose of this technical report is to provide a firm grounding of the concept of informed consent, addressing both the legal and philosophical roots, to provide information on a variety of standards applicable for decision-making by surrogates for pediatric patients and to discuss how issues of assent, refusal, and consent affect the care of children and adolescents in a variety of clinical and research settings. 4, – 6 The discordance between current clinical practice and previously published guidance may reflect the gradual evolution of change within the culture of medicine or perhaps suggests a need to build on the discussion of informed consent, assent, and refusal for children and adolescents. Despite the long-standing stance of the AAP that older children and adolescents should be involved in the medical decision-making and consent process, there still has not been widespread understanding and endorsement among practitioners of the concept of pediatric assent or refusal. Although some aspects of decision-making in pediatrics are evolving in response to changes in information technology, scientific discoveries, and legal rulings, recent reports have noted that change can be slow. This seemingly small tweak adds a surprisingly deep layer of strategy to what is usually a taken-for-granted combat system. Pushing the indicator into the green “sweet spot” zone raises the party’s offense and defense levels, but becoming careless will push the indicator past the green zone and into the red, giving enemies the upper hand.Īs combat plays out, the gauge displays a random skill type while most skill families will inch the indicator toward the dreaded danger zone, using a skill of the displayed type actually lowers it. As long as the indicator remains in the neutral zone, damage taken and received is at standard levels. The on-screen overdrive gauge indicator moves left and right along it depending on the actions characters and enemies take. Each of these skills falls into one of six families, which coincide with the combat overdrive gauge. Chained Echoes treats the term “skills” as a catch-all that incorporates special physical attacks, magical spells, healing abilities, and more. What stands out is how more nuanced systems are steadily introduced, not replacing the familiar core combat options but subtly nudging them to new heights. It takes almost zero effort to come to grips with the ground-level basics: turn order is displayed on-screen, while characters have standard combat options such as attack, defend, skills, and items. The writing is well-considered, filled with charm and humor, and plenty of twists and turns along the way.Įqually as impressive as the story is the game’s combat system, particularly in how it manages to take the often-copy-and-pasted turn-based combat basics and innovates on them rather than simply iterating. Even as new heroes and villains continue to be added to the cast until fairly late in the game, including some optional party members, the narrative continues to grow and evolve in intriguing, if not wholly bombastic, ways. ![]() That’s not to mention a satisfying rogue’s gallery of villains, ever scheming new plots and machinations for the heroes to foil.

How brooding.įor its considerable length, the game’s narrative is paced exceedingly well.

They get far more than they bargained for, however, as they unwittingly cause a calamitous explosion, killing thousands and kicking off the game’s chain of events.

In short, developer Matthias Linda has tapped into a very specific niche, setting a high-water mark of quality in the process.Ĭhained Echoes takes place on the war-torn continent of Valandis, a place constantly embroiled in conflicts between its three dominant kingdoms. A crisp pixel-art style and stellar musical compositions wow the eye and ear as it weaves an involved and lengthy narrative full of twists and turns. It successfully sets out to reinvigorate the well-worn turn-based combat formula found in many games of that era while adding many smart and well-considered elements to the mix, ultimately creating a bold and involving combat experience that feels classic and fresh at the same time.
