Intellectual Up-streams of Percentage Scale ($ps$) and Percentage Coefficient ($b_p$) -- Effect Size Analysis (Theory Paper 2)
Percentage thinking, i.e., assessing quantities as parts per hundred, has traveled widely from Roman tax ledgers to modern algorithms. Building on early decimalization by Simon Stevin in La Thiende (1585) and the 19th-century metrication movement that institutionalized base-10 measurement worldwide (Cajori, 1925), this article traces the intellectual trails through which base-10 normalization, especially 0~1 percentage scale. We discuss commonalities between those Wisconsin-Carolina experiments…

One highlight of 4 runs this week. My goal was 5 runs of at least 5 miles; I just got in 4, though (definitely not going out at night tonight, lol).
These were in rural western Wisconsin. Health has been a bit all over the map this week, and things have been hectic with family stuff. Yet, it was good to take time off work for vacation 😎
Note, this is running on beta blockers; a whole new world to me, and I don't know if I like it.
