Family Values
From a motorway service area to her ambivalent relationship with religion, Wendy Cope covers a wide range of experience in her new collection.Her mordant humour and formal ingenuity are in evidence, even as she remembers the wounds of a damaging childhood; and in poems about love and the inevitable problems of ageing she achieves an intriguing blend of sadness and joy.Two very different sets of commissioned poems round off a remarkable volume, whose opening poem sounds clearly the profound note of compassion which underlies the whole.

Silicon Values : The Future of Free Speech Under Surveillance Capitalism
What is the impact of surveillance capitalism on our right to free speech?The Internet once promised to be a place of extraordinary freedom beyond the control of money or politics, but today corporations and platforms exercise more control over our ability to access information and share knowledge to a greater extent than any state.From the online calls to arms in the thick of the Arab Spring to the contemporary front line of misinformation, Jillian York charts the war over our digital rights.She looks at both how the big corporations have become unaccountable censors, and the devastating impact it has had on those who have been censored.In Silicon Values, leading campaigner Jillian York, looks at how our rights have become increasingly undermined by the major corporations desire to harvest our personal data and turn it into profit.She also looks at how governments have used the same technology to monitor citizens and threatened our ability to communicate.As a result our daily lives, and private thoughts, are being policed in an unprecedented manner.Who decides the difference between political debate and hate speech?How does this impact on our identity, our ability to create communities and to protest?Who regulates the censors? In response to this threat to our democracy, York proposes a user-powered movement against the platforms that demands change and a new form of ownership over our own data.

Democracy's Values
Democracy has been a flawed hegemony since the fall of communism.Its flexibility, its commitment to equality of representation, and its recognition of the legitimacy of opposition politics are all positive features for political institutions.But democracy has many deficiencies: it is all too easily held hostage by powerful interests; it often fails to advance social justice; and it does not cope well with a number of features of the political landscape, such as political identities, boundary disputes, and environmental crises.Although democracy is valuable it fits uneasily with other political values and is in many respects less than equal to the demands it confronts.In this volume (and its companion Democracy's Edges) prominent political theorists and social scientists present original discussions of such central issues.Democracy's Values deals with the nature and value of democracy, particularly the tensions between it and such goods as justice, equality, efficiency, and freedom.

How difficult is a study of robotics and automation?
The study of robotics and automation can be challenging due to its interdisciplinary nature, requiring knowledge in fields such as mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, computer science, and control systems. Additionally, the rapid advancements in technology and the need to stay updated with the latest developments can add to the complexity of the study. However, with dedication, problem-solving skills, and a strong foundation in mathematics and physics, students can overcome these challenges and excel in the field of robotics and automation.

What are note values and rest values?
Note values represent the duration of a musical sound, indicating how long a note should be held or played. Rest values, on the other hand, indicate periods of silence in music, representing when no sound should be played. Both note values and rest values are essential in creating rhythmic patterns and structures in music, helping musicians to accurately interpret and perform a piece.

What are the absolute values of x-values?
The absolute value of an x-value is the distance of that value from zero on the number line, regardless of its sign. For example, the absolute value of -5 is 5, and the absolute value of 3 is also 3. In other words, the absolute value of an x-value is always positive or zero.

Dynamism : The Values That Drive Innovation, Job Satisfaction, and Economic Growth
Nobel Laureate Edmund Phelps and an international group of economists argue that economic health depends on the widespread presence of certain values, in particular individualism and self-expression. Nobel Laureate Edmund Phelps has long argued that the high level of innovation in the lead nations of the West was never a result of scientific discoveries plus entrepreneurship, as Schumpeter thought.Rather, modern values—particularly the individualism, vitalism, and self-expression prevailing among the people—fueled the dynamism needed for widespread, indigenous innovation.Yet finding links between nations’ values and their dynamism was a daunting task.Now, in Dynamism, Phelps and a trio of coauthors take it on. Phelps, Raicho Bojilov, Hian Teck Hoon, and Gylfi Zoega find evidence that differences in nations’ values matter—and quite a lot.It is no accident that the most innovative countries in the West were rich in values fueling dynamism.Nor is it an accident that economic dynamism in the United States, Britain, and France has suffered as state-centered and communitarian values have moved to the fore. The authors lay out their argument in three parts.In the first two, they extract from productivity data time series on indigenous innovation, then test the thesis on the link between values and innovation to find which values are positively and which are negatively linked.In the third part, they consider the effects of robots on innovation and wages, arguing that, even though many workers may be replaced rather than helped by robots, the long-term effects may be better than we have feared.Itself a significant display of creativity and innovation, Dynamism will stand as a key statement of the cultural preconditions for a healthy society and rewarding work.

What are the magnitude values of x-values?
The magnitude values of x-values represent the distance of a point on the x-axis from the origin (0,0). It is the absolute value of the x-coordinate of a point on a graph. For example, if a point has an x-value of -5, the magnitude value would be 5. This helps in determining the position of a point relative to the origin on a coordinate plane.
-
How are x-values mapped to y-values?
In mathematics, x-values are mapped to y-values through a function. A function is a rule that assigns each input value (x-value) to a unique output value (y-value). This mapping is often represented as y = f(x), where f is the function and x is the input value. When an x-value is input into the function, the corresponding y-value is the output. This mapping allows us to understand the relationship between the x-values and the y-values and how they change relative to each other.
-
How can empirical values be compared with literature values?
Empirical values can be compared with literature values by conducting experiments or observations to obtain the empirical values and then comparing them with values found in existing literature or research studies. This comparison can help to validate the accuracy of the empirical values and determine if they align with what is already known in the scientific community. Discrepancies between empirical and literature values can also provide insights into potential errors in the experimental methods or new discoveries that may challenge existing knowledge.

Determine the missing current values and resistance values 2.
To determine the missing current values and resistance values in a circuit, you can use Ohm's Law (V = IR) and Kirchhoff's Laws. By applying Kirchhoff's Voltage Law (the sum of the voltage drops in a closed loop is zero) and Kirchhoff's Current Law (the sum of currents entering a junction is equal to the sum of currents leaving the junction), you can solve for the missing values. Additionally, you can use the relationships between voltage, current, and resistance to calculate the missing values in the circuit.
