In a recent news article about people attending a political rally, one of the participants was asked whether she identified with the group she was attending. She replied by saying, “I don’t like labels.” Indeed. The move toward political independency has been . . . Continue reading →| The Heidelblog
We’ll now teach you to make your variables more approachable by adding labels. Note the different sections for “Label” and “Value label”. A label just provides a description of the variable, while a value label matches numbers to words.

In my previous ‘What do we call them?’ post, I wrote about ‘people we support’ and ‘people who draw on care and support’ – two phrases that are increasingly replacing references to ‘service users’, ‘clients’ and ‘customers’ – and (hopefully) demonstrated how, despite our best intentions, they can still divide and exclude. Still trap us […]| Rewriting social care

Linerless labels are pressure-sensitive labels that don’t use a traditional backing liner. Instead, the labels are manufactured with a special coating on the reverse, which prevents them from sticking to the label below when rolled up. This simple change offers a wide range of practical benefits, both operational and environmental. Used in industries such as logistics, retail, food service and manufacturing, linerless labelling is becoming more popular as businesses seek ways to reduce wast...| BEC (Systems Integration) Ltd

This is a short tutorial about how to display label callouts (sometimes referred to as 'leader lines') in QGIS. This has been possible for a while, but not everyone knows it's possible, or how to do it. So long as you're using QGIS version 3.10 or later, you create callouts for your labels very easily. Before going any further, here's an example of a map where label callouts would be useful (below). And here's the map layer I'm using for this tutorial, in case you want to follow along with th...| Stats, Maps n Pix
It has been said that making a map is 80% labelling, and 20% everything else. Okay, I just made that up, but if you've spent any time at all using GIS software you'll see the truth in this. Sometimes I end up spending far too much time on labelling, but then again it's usually time well spent because it makes things clearer. Too many labels and we're overwhelmed, too few and we're left guessing. I put this post together for anyone who uses QGIS and wants to know a bit more about labelling - j...| Stats, Maps n Pix

I’ve always said I hate politics. In hindsight, what I was really expressing was discomfort with divisiveness and conflict, lies and deceits and power games. Talking about politics feels like pinning Jello to the wall. People throw labels and jargon around. Terms are not defined and agreed upon. True intent is obfuscated. Actions and words […] The post Group Decision Making, A.K.A. Politics first appeared on Harvesting Stones.| Harvesting Stones
