A lattice-based model for continuum percolation is applied to the case of randomly located, partially aligned sticks with unequal lengths in 2D which are allowed to cross each other. Results are obtained for the critical number of sticks per unit area at the percolation threshold in terms of the distributions over length and orientational angle and are compared with findings from computer simulations.

Last month, for the first time in my 10-year career as a doctor in Boston providing health care to people experiencing homelessness, I faced having to send a baby and her mother back to the street, where they had spent their past few nights. I grew up in and went to medical school in the South. I’ve often thought of going back to be closer to family and friends, but one of the things that keeps me in Massachusetts is the compassion built into policies here.
