Antitrust, the Gig Economy, and Labor Market Power

The purpose of the current study was to develop and validate an automatic algorithm for classification of cross-country (XC) ski-skating gears (G) using Smartphone accelerometer data. Eleven XC skiers (seven men, four women) with regional-to-international levels of performance carried out roller skiing trials on a treadmill using fixed gears (G2left, G2right, G3, G4left, G4right) and a 950-m trial using different speeds and inclines, applying gears and sides as they normally would. Gear classification by the Smartphone (on the chest) and based on video recordings were compared. Formachine-learning, a collective database was compared to individual data. The Smartphone application identified the trials with fixed gears correctly in all cases. In the 950-m trial, participants executed 140 ± 22 cycles as assessed by video analysis, with the automatic Smartphone application giving a similar value. Based on collective data, gears were identified correctly 86.0% ± 8.9% of the time, a value that rose to 90.3% ± 4.1% (P < 0.01) with machine learning from individual data. Classification was most often incorrect during transition between gears, especially to or from G3. Identification was most often correct for skiers who made relatively few transitions between gears. The accuracy of the automatic procedure for identifying G2left, G2right, G3, G4left and G4right was 96%, 90%, 81%, 88% and 94%, respectively. The algorithm identified gears correctly 100% of the time when a single gear was used and 90% of the time when different gears were employed during a variable protocol. This algorithm could be improved with respect to identification of transitions between gears or the side employed within a given gear

English Masonic Lodges, Pipe Organs and National Heritage

From the late eighteenth century onwards the music of English freemasonry evolved from a purely vocal tradition to one that included the pipe organ, reflecting freemasonry's evolutionary shift out of the tavern and into purpose-built premises. The early decades of the twentieth century were surely the high point in the story of the English masonic pipe organ, if measured in terms of sheer numbers, but since then the story has been one of decline and destruction. With only one or two notable exceptions, such instruments were modest in size and arguably lacking in musical merit, but their form perfectly reflected their function and they clearly constituted a distinct tradition of English organ design. While the demise of many remaining instruments is probably inevitable, as they lose the struggle to justify the sums of money required to maintain them, the private nature of English freemasonry has meant that these instruments have gone largely undocumented, not least in the records of the National Pipe Organ Register, and will soon be lost to memory
