I found a couple of interesting trends at this expo (some of which were shared with the one earlier in the year). First (it was on Halloween day) and that meant that most of the vendors had bowls of candy out; for some of the attendees, this was the big draw. I do have to ques...
68. “Talent without discipline is like an octopus on roller skates. There’s plenty of movement, but you never know if it’s going to be forward, backwards, or sideways.”— H. Jackson Brown, Jr. 69. “I don’t harp on the negative because if you do, then there’s no progression...

A stepwise backwards technique was used including all parameters and interactions in an initial model. In each following step, the predictor or interaction term with the highest p value was eliminated followed by a rerun of the model. The final level of significance was set to p < .10 to ...

Backwards balancing consisted of walking twice backwards across 6, 4.5, and 3 cm balance beams following two practice trials; the total number of steps completed was recorded. For the stand-and-reach test, participants stood on a bench and bent at the hip in order to reach with their hands...
