Session (web analytics)

Sessions, or visits, is a unit of measurement in web analytics, capturing either a user's actions within a particular time period, or a user's actions in completing a particular task. As well as being directly useful as a metric within web analytics, sessions are also used in operational analytics and to provide personalised features, such as user-specific recommendations for other pages or items to view. These uses are dependent on session reconstruction - taking a series of user events and splitting the series into a set of sessions - which tends to use one of two classes of methodologies: time-oriented approaches, which use user inactivity as a signal to end a session and begin a new one, and navigation-based approaches, which divide requests into sessions based on an unbroken chain of hyperlinks between the requested pages.

Definition

The definition of "session" varies, particularly when applied to search engines. Generally, a session is understood to consist of "a sequence of requests made by a single end-user during a visit to a particular site", In the specific context of search engines, "sessions" and "query sessions" have multiple, contradictory and interchangeable definitions; some researchers consider a session or query session to be all queries made by a user in a particular time period, while others argue that sessions can be divided thematically, and a "session" is a series of queries with a consistent underlying user need, and that sessions terminate when that need does, even if the user continues searching for other purposes.

Ned's Atomic Dustbin

Ned's Atomic Dustbin are an English rock band formed in Stourbridge in West Midlands in November 1987. The band took their name from an episode of The Goon Show. The band are unusual for using two bass players in their lineup: Alex Griffin plays melody lines high up on one bass, and Mat Cheslin plays the regular bass lines on the other. This gives the band a tense and highly driven sub-hardcore sound featuring distorted effects-laden guitar and energetic drums.

The band was formed while at sixth form college and they recorded their first album while some of the members were still teenagers. This led to a strong teenaged fanbase with a reputation for enjoying crowd surfing and moshing at their gigs. The band was also noted (and occasionally ridiculed) for their early image, which consisted of uniformly crimped hair and a predilection for sporting shorts and band or skateboard T-shirts. "The Neds" (as their fans referred to them) were well known for their own distinctive T-shirts, reportedly producing over 86 different designs within three years (1987–1990). (In 2009, Jonn Penney stated, "We're still adding designs - old habits die hard".)

Child

Biologically, a child (plural: children) is a human between the stages of birth and puberty. The legal definition of child generally refers to a minor, otherwise known as a person younger than the age of majority.

Child may also describe a relationship with a parent (such as sons and daughters of any age) or, metaphorically, an authority figure, or signify group membership in a clan, tribe, or religion; it can also signify being strongly affected by a specific time, place, or circumstance, as in "a child of nature" or "a child of the Sixties".

There are many social issues that affect children, such as childhood education, bullying, child poverty, dysfunctional families, child labor, and in developing countries, hunger. Children can be raised by parents, by fosterers, guardians or partially raised in a day care center.

Legal, biological, and social definitions

The United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child defines child as "a human being below the age of 18 years unless under the law applicable to the child, majority is attained earlier". This is ratified by 192 of 194 member countries. In U.S. Immigration Law, a child refers to anyone who is under the age of 21.
