Programming a Radio
Brett recently picked up a new radio He tried programming it with no luck. Tonight he came over to my place to work on the issue. After a bit of research, we found that one has to run the programming software in DOS, not a DOS window, not an emulator, IT MUST BE DOS! So we built a boot disc, and loaded it up, this is the progress bar showing we have successfully programmed the radio

2000 BMW 328 6 cyl Two Wheel Drive Automatic 152, 00 miles
Occassionally, when the car is in reverse it will not move. It is nonresponsive, as if it is in neutral. This is happening more frequently. Is the transmission going out, or is something else a problem? Thank you for your insight.

Process Tracing and Bayesian updating for impact evaluationPosted on 14 July, 2016 – 4:43 PM
A news service focusing on developments in monitoring and evaluation methods relevant to development programmes with social development objectives. Managed by Rick Davies, since 1997
by Barbara Befani, May 2016. Published by the Expert Group for Aid Studies, Stockholm. Available in hardcover and as pdf
"Qualitative Comparative Analysis (QCA) is a method particularly well suited for systematic and rigorous comparisons and synthesis of information over a limited number of cases. In addition to a presentation of the method, this report provides an innovative step-wise guide on how to apply and quality-assure the application of QCA to real-life development evaluation, indicating the common mistakes and challenges for each step."
Rick Davies Comment: This is an important publication, worth spending some time with. It is a detailed guide on the use of QCA, written specially for use by evaluators. Barbara Befani has probably more experience and knowledge of the use of QCA for evaluation purposes than anyone else. This is where she has distilled all her knowledge to date. There are lots of practical examples of the use of QCA scattered throughout the book, used to support particular points about how QCA works. It is not an easy book to read but is well worth the effort because there is so much that is of value. It is the kind of book you probably will return to many times. I have read pre-publication drafts of the book and the final version and will be undoubtedly returning to different sections again in the future. While this book presents QCA as a package, as is normal, there are many ideas and practices in the book which are useful in themselves. For some of my thoughts on this view of QCA you can see my comments made at the book launch a week ago (in very rough PowerPoint form:A response, The need-to-knows when commissioning evaluations)
Summary Read the rest of this entry »
This is a Specialist Evaluation and Quality Assurance Service – Service Request Report, authored by Lydia Richardson with David Smith and Charlotte Blundy of TripleLine, in October 2015. A pdf copy is available
As this report points out, Challenge Funds are common means of funding development aid projects but they have not received the evaluation attention they deserve. In this TripleLine study the authors collated information 56 such funds. ."One of the key findings was that of the 56 funds, only 11 (19.6%) had a document entitled "impact assessment?, of these 7 have been published. Looking through these, only one (Chars Livelihood Programme) appears to be close to DFID?s definition of impact evaluation, although this programme is not considered to be a true challenge fund according to the definition outlined in the introduction. The others assess impact but do not necessarily fit DFID?s 2015 definition of impact evaluation"
Also noted later in the text:… "An email request for information on evaluation of challenge funds was sent to fund and evaluation managers. This resulted in just two responses from 11 different organisations. This verifies the finding that there is very little evaluation of challenge funds available in the public domain"…."Evaluation was in most cases not incorporated into the fund's design".
"This brief report focuses on the extent to which challenge funds are evaluable. It unpacks definitions of the core terms used and provides some analysis and guidance for those commissioning evaluations. The guidance is also relevant for those involved in designing and managing challenge funds to make them more evaluable"

Rick Davies Comment: .While projects funded by Challenge Funds are often evaluated, sometimes as a requirement of their funding, it seems that the project selection and funding process itself is is not given the same level of scrutiny. By this I mean the process whereby candidate projects are screened, assessed and then chosen or not, for funding. This process involves consideration of multiple criteria, including adherence to legal requirements, strategic alignment and grantees capacity to implement activities and achieve objectives. This is where the Challenge Fund Theory of Change actually gets operationalised. It should be possible to test the (tacit and explicit) theory being implemented at this point by gathering data on the subsequent performance of the funded projects. There should be some form of consistent association between attributes of highly rated project proposals (versus lowly rated proposals) and the scale of their achievements when implemented. If there is not, then it suggests that the proposal screening process is not delivering value and that random choice would be cheaper and just as effective. One experience I have had of this kind of analysis was not very encouraging. We could not find any form of consistent association between project attributes noted during project selection and the scale of subsequent achievement. But perhaps with more comprehensive recording of data collected at the project assessment stage the analysis might have delivered more encouraging results…
PS: This report was done using 14 person days, which is a tight budget given the time need to collate data, let alone analyse it. A good report, especially considering these time constraints
Published June 2015. The principle authors of this guide are Dr. David Wilkie, Dr. Michelle Wieland and Diane Detoeuf of WCS. With thanks to Dr. Rick Davies for many useful discussions
and comments about adding the value of owned assets to the BNS (the modifcation). Available as pdf
"This manual is offered as a practical guide to implementing the Basic Necessities Survey (BNS) that was originally developed by Rick Davies (http://mande.co.uk/special-issues/the-basic-necessities-survey/), and was recently modified and then field tested by WCS. The modified Basic Necessities Survey is imperfect, in that it does not attempt to answer all questions that could be asked about the impact of conservation (or development) actions on people's well-being. But it is the perfect core to a livelihoods monitoring program, because it provides essential information about people's well-being from their perspective over time, and implementing a modified BNS is easy enough that it does not preclude gathering additional household information that a conservation project feels they need to adaptively manage their activities"
"This technical manual was developed to offer conservation practitioners with limited budgets and staff a simple, practical, low-cost, quantitative approach to measuring and tracking trends in people's well-being, and to link these measures where possible to the use and conservation of natural resources."
"This approach is not based on the assumption that people are doing well if they make more than 1-2 dollars per day, or are in poverty if they make less. Rather, it is based on the understanding that people themselves are best able to decide what constitutes well-being. The approach is based on a United Nations definition of poverty as a lack of basic necessities. More specifically the approach asks communities to define what goods and services are necessary for a family to meet their basic needs. Examples of goods include material items such as: an axe, mobile phone, bed, or cook-stove. Services can include: access to clean drinking within 15 minutes' walk, reasonable walking distance to health care, children attending school,
women participating in community decision making, or absence of domestic violence, etc. Families who do not own or have access to this basket of goods and services are, by community definition, not meeting a basic, minimum standard of well-being and thus according to the community-defined are poor (i.e., living below the community defined poverty line)."
Rick Davies comment: It has been gratifying to see WCS pick up on the value of the BNS and make its potential more widely known via this USAID publication. I would like to highlight two other potentially useful modifications/uses of the BNS. One is how to establish a community-defined poverty line within the distribution of BNS scores collected in a given community, thus enabling a "head count" measure of poverty. This is described on pages 31-37 of this 2007 report for the Ford Foundation in Vietnam. The other is how to extract from BNS data a simple prediction rule that succinctly summarise what survey responses best predict the overall poverty status of a given household. That method is described in this June 2013 issue of the EES Connections newsletter (pages 12-14)

1. Introduction
Since the 1990s, researchers have increasingly used experimental and quasi-experimental
primary studies – collectively known as impact evaluations – to measure the effects of
interventions, programmes and policies in low- and middle-income countries. However, we are
not always able to learn as much from these studies as we would like. One common problem is
when evaluation studies use sample sizes that are inappropriate for detecting whether
meaningful effects have occurred or not. To overcome this problem, it is necessary to conduct
power analysis during the study design phase to determine the sample size required to detect
the effects of interest. Two main concerns support the need to perform power calculations in
social science and international development impact evaluations: sample sizes can be too small
and sample sizes can be too large.
In the first case, power calculation helps to avoid the consequences of having a sample that is
too small to detect the smallest magnitude of interest in the outcome variable. Having a sample
size smaller than statistically required increases the likelihood of researchers concluding that
the evaluated intervention has no impact when the intervention does, indeed, cause a significant
change relative to a counterfactual scenario. Such a finding might wrongly lead policymakers to
cancel a development programme, or make counterproductive or even harmful changes in
public policies. Given this risk, it is not acceptable to conclude that an intervention has no
impact when the sample size used for the research is not sufficient to detect a meaningful
difference between the treatment group and the control group.
In the second case, evaluation researchers must be good stewards of resources. Data
collection is expensive and any extra unit of observation comes at a cost. Therefore, for costefficiency and value-for-money it is important to ensure that an evaluation research design does
not use a larger sample size than is required to detect the minimum detectable effect (MDE)
of interest. Researchers and funders should therefore use power calculations to determine the
appropriate budget for an impact evaluation study.
Sample size determination and power calculation can be challenging, even for researchers
aware of the problems of small sample sizes and insufficient power. 3ie developed this resource
to help researchers with their search for the optimal sample size required to detect an MDE in
the interventions they evaluate.
The manual provides straightforward guidance and explains the process of performing power
calculations in different situations. To do so, it draws extensively on existing materials to
calculate statistical power for individual and cluster randomised controlled trials. More
specifically, this manual relies on Hayes and Bennett (1999) for cluster randomised controlled
trials and documentation from Optimal Design software version 3.0 for individual randomised
controlled trials.
ODI Methods Lab report. . March 2016 Rick Davies. Available as pdf
"Evaluating the impact of projects that aim to be flexible and responsive is a challenge. One of the criteria for good impact evaluation is rigour – which, broadly translated, means having a transparent, defensible and replicable process of data collection and analysis. And its debatable apotheosis is the use of randomised control trials (RCTs). Using RCTs requires careful management throughout the planning, implementation and evaluation cycle of a development intervention. However, these requirements for control are the antithesis of what is needed for responsive and adaptive programming. Less demanding and more common alternatives to RCTs are theory-led evaluations using mixed methods. But these can also be problematic because ideally a good theory contains testable hypotheses about what will happen, which are defined in advance.
Is there a middle way, between relying on pre-defined testable theories of change and abandoning any hope altogether that they can cope with the open-ended nature of development?
Drawing on experiences of the Australia-Mekong NGO Engagement Platform and borrowing from the data-centred approaches of the commercial sector, this paper argues that there is a useful role for 'loose' theories of change and that they can be evaluable"
Key messages:
• For some interventions, tight and testable theories of change are not appropriate – for example, in fast moving humanitarian emergencies or participatory development programmes, a more flexible approach is needed.
• However, it is still possible to have a flexible project design and to draw conclusions about causal attribution. This middle path involves 'loose' theories of change, where activities and outcomes may be known, but the likely causal links between them are not yet clear.
• In this approach, data is collected 'after the event' and analysed across and within cases, developing testable models for 'what works'. More data will likely be needed than for projects with a 'tight' theory of change, as there is a wider range of relationships between interventions and outcomes to analyse. The theory of change still plays an important role, in guiding the selection of data types.
• While loose theories of change are useful to identify long term impacts, this approach can also support short cycle learning about the effectiveness of specific activities being implemented within a project's lifespan

"Introduction Everyone seems to be talking about networks. Networks and the analysis of networks is now big business. However, in the development sector, analysis of networks remains weak.
This paper presents four cases where social network analysis (SNA) was used in a development programme. It focuses not so much on the organisational qualities of networks nor on the virtual networks facilitated by software, but on the analysis of connectivity in real world networks. Most of the cases are unintentional networks. What literature there is on network analysis within the development sector tends to focus on intentional networks and their quality. Our experience suggests there is considerable benefit to examining and understanding the linkages in unintentional networks, and this is a key part of this Practice Paper.
The four cases illustrate how social network analysis can
• Identify investments in training, and enable effective targeting of capacity building.
• Analyse a policy environment for linkages between people, and enable targeted interventions.
• Analyse an emerging policy environment, and stimulate linkages between different converging sectors.
• Look back on and understand the flow of ideas, thereby learning about enabling an environment for innovation.
These cases, while not directly from the intermediary sector, potentially inform our work with the intermediary sector.

"This basic guide is to orient newcomers to the PD approach and provide the essential tools to get started. It includes a brief description of basic definitions, as well as the guiding principles, steps, and process characteristics. This guide also includes suggestions of when to use the PD approach, facilitation tips, and outlines possible challenges. These elements will help practitioners implement successful PD projects. Please use this guide as a resource to initiate the PD approach. Its brevity and simplicity are meant to invite curious and intrepid implementers who face complex problems requiring behavioral and social change. It is suitable for those who seek solutions that exist today in their community and enables
the practitioner to leverage those solutions for the benefit of all members of the community. PD is best understood through action and is most effective through practice."
Rick Davies comment: I would be interested to see if anyone has tried to combine MSC with Positive Deviance approaches. MSC can be seen as a scanning process whereas PD seems to involve more in-depth inquiry, and one can imagine that combining both could be especially fruitful.
PS1: Positive Deviants can be found within an existing data set by using predictive modeling to find attributes which are good predictors of the outcome(s) being absent, then examining the False Positives – which will be cases where the outcome occurred despite the contrary conditions.
PS2: Whenever you have a great new idea its always worth checking to see who else has already been there and one that :-) So, lo and behold, I have just found that others have already been exploring the overlap between prediction modeling (aka predictive analytics) and Positive Deviance. See: Big Data with a Personal Touch: The Convergence of Predictive Analytics and Positive Deviance
More generally, for more information about Positive Deviance as a method of inquiry see:

"The toolkit is designed to support you in planning and carrying out evaluation using PV with the MSC technique, or PVMSC for short. This is a participatory approach to monitoring, evaluation and learning that amplifies the voices of participants and helps organisations to better understand and improve their programmes"
Rick Davies comment:'The advice on handling what can be quite emotional moments when people tell
stories that matter to them is well said, and is often not covered in text or training introductions to MSC. The advice on taking care with editing video records of MSC stories is also good, addressing an issue that has always niggled me.'

[From IDS website] "A heightened focus on demonstrating development results has increased the stakes for evaluating impact (Stern 2015), while the more complex objectives and designs of international aid programmes make it ever more challenging to attribute effects to a particular intervention (Befani, Barnett and Stern 2014).
Qualitative Comparative Analysis (QCA) is part of a new generation of approaches that go beyond the standard counterfactual logic in assessing causality and impact. Based on the lessons from three diverse applications of QCA, this CDI Practice Paper by Florian Schatz and Katharina Welle reflects on the potential of this approach for the impact evaluation toolbox."
Rick Davies comment: QCA is one part of a wider family of methods that can be labelled as "configurational" See my video on "Evaluating 'loose' Theories of Change" for an outline of the other methods of analysis that fall into the same category. I think they are an important set of alternative methods for three reasons:
(a) they can be applied "after the fact", if the relevant data is available. They do not require the careful setting up and monitoring that is characteristics of methods such as randomised control trials,
(b) they can use categorical (i.e. nominal) data, not just variable data.
(c) configurational methods are especially suitable for dealing with "complexity" because of the view of causality that is the basis of these configurational methods…it is one that has some correspondence with the complexity of the world we see around us. Configurational methods:

An Economic Evaluation of the Development of the Trinity River Basin as Compared with the Tennessee Valley Authority
Date: June 1950
Creator: Moore, Fred DeArmond
Description: "The Tennessee Valley Authority is a world example of the full development of a river basin in soil conservation, flood control, navigation, electric power, afforestation, and recreation... Many river basin areas in the United States have created planning commissions to further develop the advancement of their own watershed problems. The Trinity Improvement Association is the planning commission for the Trinity River watershed area... In Chapter II a factual resume of the Tennessee Valley Authority will be given, and this chapter will be used as a basis of comparison for the development of the Trinity River Basin. Chapter III covers the problem of soil conservation and flood control within the watershed area; Chapter IV deals with the industrial and municipal use of water and the resources of the tributary area; Chapter V contains a brief history of the canal movement on the Trinity, the feasibility of such a canal, and miscellaneous developments; and Chapter VI contains the conclusions that it seems appropriate to draw.

The Keynesian Concept of Savings
Date: 1956
Creator: Ott, David Jackson
Description: The problem under investigation in this study is the determination of the usefulness of the concept of saving set forth by John M. Keynes in his The General Theory of Employment, Interest and Money, both as a method of prediction and prevention of business cycles and as a conceptual framework which is for use in explaining past economic activity, particularly economic growth. The study has a twofold purpose. The first is to evaluate the workability of the Keynesian definitions when applied to existing sources of economic data; to see if a meaningful savings aggregate is a statistical possibility. The second is to attempt to explain in terms of related parts of the rest of Keynes' theoretical system the conclusions reached under the first purpose above.

New Sony A77 pictures and specifications leaked
Pictures of a new Sony Alpha camera boasting a three-way tilt screen have made an appearance on German website D-SLT.
The new cam features a movie mode, in-built mic (or at least a mic grille), GPS and what looks like a decent sized APS-C sensor. Rumoured specifications include things like a whopping 24.3-megapixel Exmor HD sensor, plenty for a camera of its size.
Also impressive is the cam's supposed ISO range which extends all the way up to 16000 thanks to what is said to be a newly developed Bionz processor. The new Bionz hardware also helps the camera shoot at 12fps and have just a 50ms shutter time lag.
The three way tilt LCD on the back is said to be a TrueBlack 921K colour screen which should make viewing photos plenty impressive.
Memory-wise the new A77 allegedly supports SD-only and is capable of burning over 500 shots to the card on a single charge. Video is said to run at full 1080p and shoot at 60fps using the AVCHD 2.0 codec.
The camera hardware is also seriously impressive, with a tough dust proof and water resistant magnesium body weighing in at 680g.
Rumoured pricing has even made an appearance; expect to pay $1000 for the A77 body only and between $1600 and $1800 for the camera and a 16-50mm f 2.8 SSM kit.
It's the third rumour in as many weeks for the A77 and the images leaked here match up with images seen previously on a design awards website, and in a video on a beach.
Furthermore it's worth pointing out that the images here also match a transparent mock up Pocket-lint saw earlier this year at Focus on Imaging in Birmingham.

MINNEAPOLIS: The next wave of minor-league pitchers is prepping now in the upper levels of the Indians' farm system waiting to win a spot on the big-league roster.
It has been awhile since the group of pitching prospects could be described as a wave rather than a trickle, with the Tribe system having been almost barren of legitimate major-league hopefuls during a 10-year period.
But things have changed the past few years. There are at least three starters who might crack the rotation at the outset of 2014 or become options some time during next season. Danny Salazar and Carlos Carrasco are in the big leagues now, but neither is assured of making the club next spring.
Trevor Bauer remains in Triple-A Columbus, tinkering with his mechanics that he chose to overhaul in November. The project remains ongoing.
Did Tribe officials know that Bauer was effecting a major change in his delivery when they traded for him in December?
"We knew when he came to spring training," said Ross Atkins, vice president for player development. "If you put the stuff he's doing in front of the smartest pitching guys, they would say there's nothing wrong with it."
On the other hand, Bauer still is in Triple-A, where he has compiled a 6-5 record and 3.72 ERA in 19 starts. He also has made three starts for the Tribe, posting a 1-2 record and a 5.29 ERA. His downfall at the big level has been command, with Bauer walking 16 in 17 innings.
"I think his velocity might be down a little because of the delivery," Atkins said.
Bauer is only 22, so there's no rush to promote him, and for a change, the Indians don't have an urgent need for starters.
"With Trevor, you have to look at the big picture,'' Atkins said.
In three big-league starts, Salazar has, at times, been overpowering. His only problem so far is giving up four home runs in 17⅔ innings.
But he has a penchant for throwing strikes. In his last minor-league start before being summoned to the majors, he threw 50 pitches, 40 strikes.
"You look at guys in pro ball, some of them transition quickly, others take a little longer," Atkins said. "He's within reach of expectations. For him to get to where he should be, he needs to know he belongs, not just believe he belongs."
Carrasco started Wednesday after being called up to throw long relief for a couple of days until a busy group of relievers got their legs under them. The start was to give Scott Kazmir extra time between starts, but Carrasco's immediate future is unclear, particularly after giving up four runs and 10 hits in 4⅓ innings.

I have Windows 8 and therefore I can download games made for a Surface or Windows Phone. Some of these games require that you "tilt" your tablet in order to move to the side. However, I am using a laptop with no rotation sensors whatsoever. Is it still possible to play these games with a keyboard and mouse, or do I need a tablet?
A standard laptop cannot basically simulate such an event as it simply has no appropriate sensors. Note that there are these special notebooks where you are able to rotate the display and use it has a "very thick" tablet, then. Those might have one.
However, it is the app developer's job to make his app run everywhere and be usable everywhere. I would look for the "controls"-settings. Maybe you can change the input method for driving/bending/whatever.
If it really matters to you and you are not able to find any controls-changing settings you could eventually contact the developers. But it's probably simpler to just lookout for another game...

Make sure your videos are not 1080. iPad only shows 720.
buy a 50 inch plasma 1080 or 720 for 500 to 600 you will be happy

Oh it will run a 1080p transcode quite well.

This means that the ipad will output a 473=1.334 screen even on a 1920 by 1080 screen. I don't think there is a...

WIMBLEDON, England -- Top-ranked Ana Ivanovic has been upset by Zheng Jie of China in the third round at Wimbledon.
Ivanovic lost 6-1, 6-4 to Zheng, who was ranked No. 133 entering Centre Court on Friday. Ivanovic earned the No. 1 ranking after a win at the French Open.
The 20-year-old Serbian player had to save two match points in her second-round win over Nathalie Dechy. She had no answer for the powerful shots from Zheng, a former Wimbledon doubles champion.
Ivanovic went out a day after third-seeded Maria Sharapova was upset in the second round.
Two-time champion Serena Williams has defeated 2006 winner Amelie Mauresmo to advance to the fourth round at Wimbledon.
After letting an early break slip before winning the first set in a tiebreaker, Williams went on a five-game streak en route to a 7-6 (5), 6-1 win Friday in the third-round match.
Williams, who won the title in 2002 and 2003, broke Mauresmo six times and clinched the match with a forehand winner on her second match point.

This is not a coding question. Just want to know anybody has idea about future of Silverlight as web technology.I know WP 7 is going to use Silverlight but are there any value in converting our existing SL 4 apps to SL 5?
I could see that HTML5 is getting more popular and eliminating the need for browser plug-ins.

When scientists checked the records of 89 spinal surgery patients, those who recovered in sunny rooms required 22% less pain medication and felt less stress than those in darker rooms. (The bright digs had 46% more natural light.) "Sunlight can boost production of serotonin," explains study author Jeffrey Walch. High levels of the hormone may ease pain. Could the sun's rays soothe an aching back or throbbing head? No one's sure, but basking in light coming through a window is safe--and it could help.
