TORONTO -- With warm weather approaching and the promise of a "one-dose summer" on the horizon, many Canadians are making plans for the summer and fall, eager for life to get back to pre-pandemic "normal." But not all Canadians are happy to see the end of lockdown life brought about by COVID-19 restrictions.
The term 'cave syndrome' has been bandied about in news headlines and on social media, a term being used to describe people who may not be so willing to resume normal life when the COVID-19 pandemic sees its end. But while it may accurately describe people's genuine struggle to return to normal lives as restrictions ease, psychologists say it's a term that oversimplifies and pathologizes things.
"It's not a syndrome because there could be any number of reasons why people are choosing to stay at home," Steven Taylor, clinical psychologist at the University of British Columbia, told in a phone interview.
This term is gaining popularity before the pandemic has even ended, and it's still too soon to tell how much we'll continue to be affected once the crisis is over.
"At this point it is really hard to assess or understand how severe these issues are because the whole thing is still ongoing," he said. "So someone could be fairly anxious right now about leaving the home, but once the pandemic is over, that person might be fine."
And at this stage in the pandemic, there is no clear ending. What might be the end for one person, won't be the end for another.
"The end of the pandemic is going to be different for everybody. In all likelihood the pandemic is going to evolve into an endemic," Gordon Asmundson, clinical psychologist and professor of psychology at the University of Regina, told in a phone interview.
He said that the term 'cave syndrome' is too broad and encompasses any reason someone might have for not leaving their home, including finding it more convenient to work from home, or cheaper to do online post-secondary schooling.
"Some of those reasons may be adaptive reasons, so they're not really symptomatic of anything," he added.
With a term that includes so many reasons for not wanting to leave the house, or ease COVID-19 restrictions, it could overlook more serious diagnoses at play.
"A key consideration is whether leaving the cave is an inconvenience or an emotional burden, and almost insurmountable challenge, and in the latter case, there might be other diagnoses that are more specific and helpful," said Asmundson.
It could prevent people from realizing their issues with leaving the house are more severe than general convenience and enjoying alone time. It could mean missing that someone is staying home because of depression or a panic disorder.
"If you call this a syndrome, then the problem is that you might have missed some of the other disorders," said Taylor.
And there's no need to give a diagnosis to something that creates a feeling of inconvenience more than anything else.
"If it's an inconvenience, but doesn't really affect your functional ability, then those things shouldn't be pathologized," said Asmundson.
It also over emphasizes the mental health issues that psychologists expect to see after the pandemic comes to an end. Early on in the pandemic, Taylor and Asmundson worked together on the impacts of what they call COVID Stress Syndrome, a term used to describe the overwhelming and life-disrupting fear of infection and the consequences of a COVID-19 infection.
"It can over pathologize ordinary anxiety and it's ordinary and normal and expected to be anxious during COVID-19," said Taylor.
He doesn't believe the general stress of the pandemic will have staying power for most people.
"Most people will pick up where they left off and bounce back, but not everyone," said Taylor. "This is a big issue at the moment, trying to estimate the proportion of people who will come through this stressful event and will need psychological help and it's really hard to predict."
This isn't to say that the pandemic hasn't had negative effects on mental health for Canadians.
"The pandemic is having a greater impact on people who have these pre-existing conditions. And then in some people it's creating new conditions, like post traumatic stress disorder, particularly in frontline workers," said Asmundson.
And part of the challenge now is that for most of the pandemic, people with anxiety and panic disorders have been able to stay home and avoid the things that might cause them anxiety, which could actually worsen things.
"Avoidance is one of the key fuels to the fire of anxiety and stress," he said. "It's a really effective coping strategy in the short term, you avoid what stresses you out, you feel better, but in the long term the avoidance comes at a cost and you start missing out on opportunities to learn that you often overestimate the amount of threat that's out there."
Paying attention to how you feel after restrictions have lifted will be very important for those who might be feeling more anxious than usual. If restrictions have lifted but you still fear a trip to the grocery store, it may be something more serious.
"Once the restrictions have lifted and it's gone weeks or months and you're still inside and you're still very frightened, that might be an indication that you might need some help, particularly if the anxiety is interfering with your life," said Taylor.
If you find yourself overwhelmed in the weeks and months after the COVID-19 pandemic comes to an end, or at least when restrictions are lifted, there are free resources available online that Asmundson says are just as good as in-person therapy.
"One of them is called Mind Shift through Anxiety Canada, is freely available and it's an evidence-based online app that people can actually log into and it's like your own personal therapist on the phone, except it's not a person, it's a program," he said.
While 'cave syndrome; might be a catchy name, it doesn't do justice to the reasons people may not want to leave the house, and tries to diagnose people who don't want to return to a pre-pandemic "normal."
"It really overlooks the diversity and reasons why people don't want to go out. It seems to psycho-pathologize all of us who don't want to return to exactly the way things were before."

Some differences between tungsten and titanium are that they belong to different groups on the periodic table, tungsten has a higher boiling point and titanium is known as the only element that burns in nitrogen. Tungsten belongs to group 6, and titanium belongs to group 4 on the periodic table. Since these elements belong to different groups, they have dissimilar chemical properties.Continue Reading
Of all the metallic elements, tungsten has the highest melting point, which is 6,192 degrees Fahrenheit. The melting point of titanium is 3034 F. Another difference between these elements is that titanium has a lower density at 4.5 gram per cubic centimeter, while tungsten's density is 19.3 grams per cubic centimeter.
Although these are some differences, tungsten and titanium do have some things in common. They are metals that are white in appearance. In nature, tungsten and titanium are not found as pure elements but in minerals.Learn more about Atoms & Molecules

text: Domiciliary oxygen therapy is commonly prescribed for patients with interstitial lung disease and hypoxemia, either at rest or during exertion, with the aim of improving symptoms and functional status.This study aimed to explore perspectives of adults with interstitial lung disease about domiciliary oxygen therapy, comparing insights from patients using and not using oxygen therapy.A qualitative study using semistructured interviews was undertaken on 24 adults residing in and near Melbourne, Australia who had a diagnosis of interstitial lung disease and met the Thoracic Society of Australia and New Zealand guidelines for domiciliary oxygen therapy. Study subjects included individuals who were oxygen-naive (n = 12) and oxygen-experienced (n = 12). Interviews were transcribed verbatim and coded independently by two investigators in accordance with the grounded theory method of analysis. Themes were established by consensus.Patients using domiciliary oxygen therapy described widespread variation in usage. Oxygen-naive patients expected oxygen therapy to relieve dyspnea, whereas oxygen-experienced patients emphasized the benefits of oxygen on other, non-dyspnea-related physical symptoms. Practical and psychosocial challenges of using oxygen therapy were raised by both groups of patients.This study highlights the different expectations and experiences of domiciliary oxygen therapy for adults with interstitial lung disease. It is important to understand and address patients' concerns about the use of oxygen therapy for these patients.

the Foreign Operations Appropriations Bill?
The Foreign Operations Appropriations Bill is perhaps the most relevant appropriations bill for our global work to end hunger and poverty. This bill is considered in the Subcommittee on State, Foreign Operations, and Related Affairs and provides funding to Basic Education, HIV/AIDS, child survival programs, tuberculosis, UNICEF, microfinance programs, and other foreign assistance activities. Within the Foreign Ops Appropriations Bill, Basic Education and microenterprise are funded under the Development Assistance Account (DA), while most of our health programs are funded within the Child Survival and Health Programs Fund.* RESULTS also works to influence the appropriations bill considered by the Subcommittee on Labor, Health, and Human Services, Education, and Related Agencies ("Labor HHS") because domestic TB programs are funded through this subcommittee's appropriations bill; for FY 2008, President Bush requested money for the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, TB, and Malaria in this bill as well (the Global Fund is usually funded through the Foreign Ops subcommittee).
*The Development Assistance Account (DA) and Child Survival and Health Programs Fund (CSH) are two of the many accounts within a bill to which money is allotted to support specific programs. Another such example is the Economic Support Fund (ESF).

- Globalization (1) (remove)
- East African Muslims After 9/11 (2005)
- Much has been said about 9/11, but little research has been done on the impact the events had on Africa. This paper explores how Muslims in East Africa view the terrorist attacks of 9/11. Particular attention will be given to the case of Kenya. What were the effects and consequences of 9/11 for Muslim communities there? How do they perceive the "war on terrorism", how did the changing configuration of geopolitics in the aftermath of 9/11 affect their lives and attitudes? What are the future prospects of ChristianMuslim understanding in East Africa? The paper argues that the initial sentiment of sympathy with the victims has been replaced by the rise of anti-American attitudes among the East African Muslim population. Although this tendency will probably continue as long as policy makers think of anti-Americanism in terms of an "image problem", the impact of 9/11 on East Africa will in the long run not depend on global issues, but on the course of political and religious developments on the national and local levels.

Propaganda in prose : a comparative analysis of language in British Blue Book reports on atrocities and genocide in early twentieth-century Britain.
Degree GrantorUniversity of Canterbury
Degree NameBachelor of Arts (Hons)
This paper examines three British Blue Book reports published in early twentieth-century Britain during the war period. The first report examines the invasion of Belgium by the German army and their maltreatment of Belgian people. The second report discusses the Committee of Union and Progress' acts of cruelty against Armenian Christians. Both of these reports were authored, compiled and then distributed by the British Government in Britain and other Western countries. The third report discusses German colonial rule in South-West Africa and their abuse of 'native' Herero. This report was compiled and authored in SouthWest Africa, but published for a British audience. This dissertation engages in a comparative analysis of these three Blue Book reports. It examines how they are structurally different, but thematically and qualitatively similar. Investigation begins with discussion of the reports' authors and how they validate claims made in the respective prefaces. Subsequently, there is examination of thematic similarities between each report's historical narratives. Historiography is employed extensively to contextualise these reports and engage in wider debates on their objectives. This dissertation engages with three major strands of historiography: The British Government's employment of propaganda during the First World War British Blue Books reports; and wartime propaganda. The South-West African report has a lack historiography. This paper seeks to fill a gap, while also adding to modern scholarship on British Blue Books. This dissertation demonstrates that wartime British Blue Books were not unique, as they deliberately illustrate similar thematic tropes and rhetorical devices throughout both their prefaces and historical narratives.

Product Description
How It Works
KYsearo containerized water treatment system designed for large-scale plants or long-distance delivery.by making pre-designed module-size plants, fully assembled in standard 20ft container.It would bring the follow convenience for customers:
 - Taking the packaging and transportation more conveniences
 - No need leave space or build a new architect for install the system
The container just needs to be shipped out to where the potable water is needed, and after a brief training session, commissioned workers are ready to produce high-quality potable water within days of delivery.
What methods can be used to desalinate sea water?
The traditional method is to distill water. In other words, heat the sea water to vaporize it, remove the vapor to a different container and condense the water vapor by cooling it. Rainfall is an example of the natural distillation process. The next alternative is to freeze the sea water and then thaw the ice thus formed. Icebergs are examples of natural freeze-thaw process. Reverse osmosis is a man-made process which can also desalinate sea water. In reverse osmosis, sea water is forced through a semi-permeable membrane that allows only water molecules to pass through, and which retains all other impurities in water, including the ions of salt.

Attending Public hearings and community meetings
Showing up is 90% of the game. Public hearings provide an opportunity for public comments on a particular project or vote. This kind of community involvement can make a strong statement.
- Time is limited at public hearings, so arrive early to sign up for a slot to speak.
- When you speak, focus on your main points. You will often be able to submit written statements which will allow you to address additional concerns.
- Be polite and respect other community members' ideas. A hearing is a forum for the exchange of ideas, not a neighborhood contest.
Meeting with elected officials in person is an opportunity to make personal contact with decision-makers and convey your position in a persuasive and animated manner. A lobby visit allows you to tell your Senator or Representative what you think about a certain issue or bill and ask her/him to take positive action.
Here are some suggestions for a successful lobby visit:
Before the Meeting
- Request a meeting in writing with specific times and dates. Follow up with a call to the scheduler or secretary to confim the meeting.
- Make sure to convey what issue or bill you would like to discuss.
- Decide on talking points to express your most important ideas.
- Set a goal for the meeting. Do you want the Representative to vote for or against a bill or introduce legislation?
During the Meeting
- Be prompt.
- Keep it short and stick to your talking points.
- Take the time to thank the elected official for past votes in support of your issues.
- Provide personal and local examples of the impact of the legislation.
- Be honest and don't claim to know more than you do about an issue. You don't have to be the expert, just a committed and active constituent.
- Set a deadline or timeline for response.
After the Meeting
- Write a thank you letter to the legislator.
- Send any materials and information you offered.
- Follow up on deadlines and if they are not met, set up others. Be persistent.

Building on work undertaken during 2014 on information literacy in the workplace, InformAll has been raising awareness of information literacy in sectors where it has not been readily recognised as a defined set of attributes. There is a strong case for a dialogue to consider how interlocutors at the interface between higher education and employment might benefit from a further exploration of the relevance of information literacy to their policies and practices. InformAll, in association with CILIP and the CILIP IL Group, therefore organised a roundtable, on 19 March 2015, that brought together a range of interested parties. The event sought to:
- explore the relevance of information competencies and skills in the workplace;
- allow employers and other stakeholders with an interest in employment, professional development and lifelong learning to consider the relevance of such competencies and skills to their policies, strategies and practices;
- raise awareness of the important role library and information professionals play in this area.
Please find attached the programme for the event, the presentation slides that introduced it and some (unedited) notes from the discussion. These are rough and ready, but give a flavour of the breadth of issues that were covered; they also list a few practical suggestions.

Presidentialism, Parliamentarism, and Democracy
Presidentialism, Parliamentarism, and Democracy by Jose Antonio Cheibub
Add to cart
US$ 24.00
This book addresses the following question: why are presidential democracies more likely to break down than parliamentary ones? Conventional wisdom among political scientists pointS to the incentives generated by the form of government itself; the independence of the executive and legislature that defines presidentialism generates incentives that are not conducive to the consolidation of democracy. On the basis of a data set that covers all democracies between 1946 and 2002, this book demonstrates that this is not the case: the incentives generated by presidentialism are as conducive to the consolidation of democracy as the ones generated by parliamentarism. The book argues that what kills presidentialism is the fact that it exists in countries where democracies of any type are not likely to survive. This book will be of interest to academic researchers, graduates and advanced undergraduates enrolled in courses on comparative politics and political economy.

Antartica was not always covered by ice. Millions of years ago, Antartica was located further north than it is today making it warmer. Is it possible that under Antartica's ice sheet there are numerous fossils of very ancient and unknown lifeforms? Would there even be well preserved ancient corpses of those lifeforms? Thank you!
There are many fascinating fossils in Antarctica.You can find many good articles by googling "antarctic fossils". To the best of my limited knowledge, there are not any special "well preserved ancient corpses" because the time it took for the continent to drift south and get cold was far too long to fresh-freeze anything. I suppose it's possible that something froze quickly (like the occasional Arctic mammoth) in a storm, and then stayed frozen. However, I don't think anything like that has been found. A geologist or paleontologist might be a better person to ask.
p.s. My son, an Antarctic veteran, says that ice keeps forming on top and the ice lower down gets pushed out. We aren't sure if any of the ice from the early cold period is left, but if it is it's very deep by now.

- it flattens the flight even better before landing.
The significant improvement in Warp's basic parameters was possible mainly thanks to:
- slightly changed profile and smaller modification of its geometry when changing the angle of attack
- using the LE3D system used in new generations of our wings
- clean three-row rigging and 17% less lines used, which reduces harmful drag .
The entire structure of internal reinforcements also plays an important role in the stability of the wing body, including the advanced system of 3Y and 3Y double diagonal supports (double, passing through two cells and ribs). The whole is complemented by carefully selected control systems, an integrated PA system (Power Attack) and, of course, the highest quality materials used in production.
The PA (Power Attack) system, which we introduced to the sport in 2009, was initially adapted to individual paragliders and made available for the very best pilots only. In Warp, the PA system combines the speed system with the trimmer in a permanent manner, yet allowing for independent adjustment of the trimmers, which is very useful during some combined tasks.
The B riser is suspended on a pulley, minimising resistance during speed system operation.
Warp as standard comes equipped with 2D controls. In the 2D layout, both the main control and the tip steering line are attached to the main control handle. This system allows the pilot to either independently control the tip of the wing and the centre of the trailing edge, or both at once. Thanks to the separation of the main control, the experienced pilots can adjust the progression of pulling the trailing edge to suit their preferences. Warp does not have a separate small TST handle, which simplifies control over the riser system both during takeoff and in flight.
Trimmers and speed system allow you to change of angle of attack and raise the rear part of the wing, so that its projected surface and chord decrease by circa 15%, increasing the loading and speed of the wing as well as moving the centre of pressure (lift) forward, thus increasing the longitudinal stability of the wing. This change in load gives the Warp greater resistance to collapses and increases its projected aspect ratio so that the pilot can enjoy better performance and stability, especially at higher speeds.
With trims closed the Warp has less reflex present; this is compensated by the smaller wing sizes (approx 1m2) in comparison to its sister wings, Snake XX and Hadron XX.
The main rigging lines are sheathed, and the upper gallery lines being unsheathed.
In general, Warp is our next generation wing for experienced competition PPG pilots. We are convinced that they will be impressed by its capabilities.
Here at Dudek, we do not only work on solutions for staying in front in wing design but also constantly improve the quality of production. This is why the Warp is constructed from the highest quality fabrics - Porcher Skytex - which combined with in advanced processes of laser cutting, precise sewing and attention to detail culminates in a world-class product.
Warp comes in three colour scheme moods - energy, harmony and passion.
Ultimately, Warp will be available in 8 sizes - (14), 15, 16, 17, 18, 20, 22 and 24. We recommend choosing the upper half of the weight range of a given size, as in this configuration you can use all of Warp's strengths to the maximum effect.
Warp like all our other wings is manufactured entirely in-house at our Polish European facility, allowing us total control over each and every production process.
Caution: In the German magazine Paramotor, our Warp test appeared. It is reliable and factual so we encourage you to read it: _URL_

Student project makes use of Kinect and Windows Phone to teach cultural norms
Ro Ramtohul is a student, studying at the University of Dundee, Scotland, who has been working on a project called "reculture" for the final year of his course (Digital Interaction Design), and it involves a Windows Phone. Those who primarily reside in the West (or share the same stereotypical ignorance towards foreign cultures as the British) are being targeted by Ramtohul for some interactive education.
The project, as can be witnessed in the above video, is a Windows Phone app that works with the Kinect for Xbox 360, much like we've seen with previous concepts. As opposed to learning the language, or reading blocks of tedious text, Ramtohul's work will have the user engage physically using gestures. The Windows Phone app will compliment the Kinect by acting as a type of 'instruction manual'. Users are alerted by a notification when they're in the proximity of the Kinect and can watch a small video within the mobile app illustrating what gesture is required to be carried out (accompanied by some details about the culture).
Gestures (and cultures) alternate on a daily basis, with the above Japanese greeting acting as a single example - a successful command turns on the TV. It's a really neat concept and we look forward to see how the development pans out. You can find out more about what motivated Ramtohul with reculture, as well as checking out more videos of his work via the links below. The project is full steam ahead with more cultures and gestures being programmed - of course, the British gesture will be drinking a cup of tea.


text: Resulting from the need for greater realism in models of human and organizational behavior in military simulations, there has been increased interest in research on integrative models of human performance, both within the cognitive science community generally, and within the defense and aerospace industries in particular. This book documents accomplishments and lessons learned in a multi-year project to examine the ability of a range of integrated cognitive modeling architectures to explain and predict human behavior in a common task environment that requires multi-tasking and concept learning.This unique project, called the Agent-Based Modeling and Behavior Representation (AMBR) Model Comparison, involved a series of human performance model evaluations in which the processes and performance levels of computational cognitive models were compared to each other and to human operators performing the identical tasks. In addition to quantitative data comparing the performance of the models and real human performance, the book also presents a qualitatively oriented discussion of the practical and scientific considerations that arise in the course of attempting this kind of model development and validation effort.The primary audiences for this book are people in academia, industry, and the military who are interested in explaining and predicting complex human behavior using computational cognitive modeling approaches. The book should be of particular interest to individuals in any sector working in Psychology, Cognitive Science, Artificial Intelligence, Industrial Engineering, System Engineering, Human Factors, Ergonomics and Operations Research. Any technically or scientifically oriented professional or student should find the material fully accessible without extensive mathematical background.

Phone Number Regulatory FAQ
To use phone numbers compliantly in many countries of the world, both Twilio and our customers must adhere to the local country regulations. Doing so often means that we must provide adequate identity documentation to the local regulator or carrier. If they don't provide this information, there is a high risk the local regulators or carriers will disconnect the phone number.
This list of Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) will provide more details about regulations, what you need to do to stay compliant, and why.
FAQ Table of Contents:
General Phone Number Regulatory FAQ
Q: How are phone number regulations changing and why?
A: Many countries around the world have recently been increasing their scrutiny of how their phone numbers are used. This increased scrutiny is driven by various factors, including increased incidents of misuse and abuse of phone numbers, heightened national security concerns, and increased pressure on the supply of numbers.
As a result, various countries are updating their regulations or placing greater emphasis on the enforcement of existing regulations, including those requiring validation of who is actually using the phone number and exactly where that individual or business is located. In short, the intent of these regulations is to verify who is using the number and where they are.
Twilio, our customers, end users, and providers each have a role and a collective obligation to ensure numbers are assigned and used in a manner consistent with the intent of the regulations in the relevant country.
Q: Is this enforcement only impacting Twilio customers? Is it because there's spam and abuse on your platform?
A: No. Twilio does not permit spam or abuse on our platform. Regulatory requirements are due to worldwide enforcement of existing and new regulations as nations seek to have better control over their national communications infrastructures. All communications companies, including Twilio, are subject to these regulations, and providers and end customers ignore such requirements at their peril. End-user phone numbers that do not comply are at risk of being disconnected due to national regulatory action without notice regardless of provider, a gamble to which Twilio does not subject its customers or itself.
Q: Other providers do not require address and identity information for my phone numbers. Why does Twilio?
A: Many countries around the world have recently been increasing their scrutiny of how their phone numbers are used. We strongly believe all providers are being asked—or soon will be asked—to provide the same information Twilio requires. In every country, the regulations apply equally to all phone number providers. Twilio is in no way being singled out.
Q: Which countries are affected? What are the exact requirements?
A: To help you comply with these regulations and minimize the risk of disruption to your phone numbers, Twilio maintains an up-to-date country-by-country guide of phone number regulatory requirements. We urge our customers to provide the necessary information for each country to help ensure their service isn't interrupted or disconnected.
To understand these regulations, it's helpful to keep in mind the objective: Regulators want to know who is using the phone number and where they are located. It is therefore understandable that the regulations focus on the end user, the party actually using the phone number in question to make or receive calls. It also makes sense that regulators want the end user's name, address, proof of address, and/or an identity document, and that all the documents must match. For example, the name on a utility bill submitted as proof of address must exactly match the name on the submitted passport. In some instances, a local address is required, as indicated by country.
Q: I've been told to "map" my phone numbers to addresses and identity documents. What does this mean, and how do I do it?
A: Phone numbers with regulatory requirements need to have certain information or documents associated with them, which is what we call "mapping". It lets us know which phone numbers go with which addresses and identity documents. You can find instructions on how to map a phone number to an address and document here.
Q: Can I reuse documents I've uploaded in Console for previous Regulatory Bundles or do I need to upload them again?
A: Yes, you can utilize identity and supporting documentation that you've already uploaded to create a new Regulatory Bundle. While creating a Regulatory Bundle, look for the option to Select existing individual/business information, eligible options will be presented in a table, choose the desired option and click Select & Save. The same is true for the supporting documentation, when adding supporting documentation, you can click the Select existing supporting document option, and choose the desired document from the table. Please note only documents that meet the regulatory requirements will be presented.
Q: Can I delete Regulatory Bundles?
A: You can delete Regulatory Bundles in Draft status. Please note, deleting a Regulatory Bundle will unassign any Supporting Documents and End-Users you have assigned to the draft Regulatory Bundle. These objects will not be deleted.
Q: Can I delete Supporting Documents?
A: Yes, you can delete Supporting Documents in Draft and Rejected statuses. You will not be able to delete a Supporting Document that is assigned to a Regulatory Bundle. When deleting a Supporting Document, note that Twilio retains data associated with the Supporting Document for legal, anti-fraud, or security purposes in accordance with applicable law. For more information, please visit our Terms of Service and Privacy Policy sections.
Q: Can I delete End-Users?
Yes, you can delete End-Users that are not assigned to Regulatory Bundles. When deleting an End-User, note that Twilio retains data associated with the End-User for legal, anti-fraud, or security purposes in accordance with applicable law. For more information, please visit our Terms of Service and Privacy Policy sections.
Q: How long does it take Twilio to verify documents that have been submitted?
A: We do our best to verify documents submitted within 24 business hours.
Q: What is Twilio doing to make regulatory compliance easier for me?
A: We are investing heavily in automated systems to make compliance easier. We have brought a number of these systems online already and you'll see many improvements in the coming months that will make the process easier and faster. These systems will include intelligently determining and presenting regulatory requirements for each number-set up front, a new user experience, and improved APIs to help guide you through the processes required.
Q: How is Twilio handling privacy?
A: Twilio takes privacy very seriously. Twilio must collect the data requested and we have legitimate interests for doing so, including regulatory obligations and fraud and abuse prevention. Accordingly, the collection of this data is lawful under privacy law. Although we must collect the data, we remain conscious that the data being collected is sensitive and we must treat it accordingly. The data is subject to the requirements of our Binding Corporate Rules - Controller Policy, which provides for application of a GDPR-level of data protection regardless of where the data originates globally. And pursuant to our internal data protection risk impact assessment, the data is subject to more stringent handling requirements commensurate to the sensitivity level. Among other things, these requirements include limiting access to the data to only those staff members who must see it to perform their job functions, conducting privacy and security training with these staff members prior to permitting them to handle the data, and ensuring all data is stored securely.
Q: Where can I find the regulations underpinning Twilio's requirements page?
A: Our requirements are a synthesis of multiple sources and therefore generally cannot be found verbatim in the local regulations. The sources we use are primarily the text of the regulations, direct conversations with regulators, the judgment and interpretation of Twilio's legal counsel, industry best practices, the standards of telephone carriers, and our experience in handling requests by government and law enforcement agencies.
Q: I need to retain my phone number in a country but do not meet the requirements. What should I do?
A: If you cannot meet the requirements for a specific phone number type in a given country, we recommend you look at a different number type for that country. Countries often have multiple phone number types (for example, national vs. local), and different phone number types are set up for different uses and have different requirements. It may be that you are using a current phone number type that isn't appropriate for your situation; for example, local numbers are often meant for people with physical addresses in a specific region of a country. However, there is often another number type in the same country that is well suited to your situation. If that approach doesn't work, then you may have to use a phone number in another country where you meet the requirements. Please email your account rep or _EMAIL_ for assistance, if you cannot find a solution.
Q: I need to retain my current phone numbers in a country where I don't meet the regulatory requirements for any of the phone number types. I've tried everything you've outlined and there is no acceptable alternative. What do I do? What is Twilio doing to help me?
A: We recognize that this is an exceedingly difficult situation for our customers. We want to assure you that we'll allow you to use your current phone numbers for as long as we reasonably can. We will only disconnect your phone numbers if there is no other legal option available.
We are also committed to helping you find a solution in the following ways:
 - We are actively working to enable new number types in some countries.
 - As the opportunities arise, we will advocate for changes to these regulations. We fundamentally believe that every country should offer a phone number type accessible to any international business that provides valuable services to the citizens of that country. We are, however, realistic about timelines. We recognize that the passage of new regulations may take time, and as a result, this approach is likely a longer-term solution.
 - We are working on possible solutions that would make


Syntax
COPY
[file-name | * ]
[ from-line to-line ]
[ { BEFORE | AFTER } line-label ]
Operands
file-name | *
The name of the file you wish to include in the edit data.
If a single * is entered, it requests the filename to be fetched from the current clipboard contents.
from-line to-line
Represents the starting line number, and ending line number, of the file you are copying from. If used, both the from-line and the to-line must be present, but need not be in ascending order. If one number is larger than the actual number of lines in the copied file, it is treated like the line number of the last line in the copied file was specified. If both numbers are larger than the actual number of lines in the copied file, the effect is the same as if an empty file were copied. When these numbers are omitted, the entire file is copied.
{ BEFORE | AFTER }
line-label
If specified, the file is copied before, or after, a defined line label.
If a before/after line label is not specified, the file is copied into the current edit file in one of the following ways:
 - before a B line command
 - after an A line command
 - repeatedly before the lines in a BB block
 - repeatedly after the lines in an AA block
 - into a H/HH block, replacing the existing lines in that H/HH block
Description
COPY adds a copy of data that already exists to the edit session.
To copy data into an empty file:
On the Command line, type:
COPY filename
The filename operand is optional. If you do not specify it, the standard Windows file open dialog will be displayed. You may then select the filename in this dialog.
Press Enter. The data is copied.
To copy data into an existing edit file:
Use the A, B, AA, BB, or H/HH line commands to indicate where the copied data is to be inserted, or use the BEFORE/AFTER line-label option
 - for the A or B command you may not enter a repeat value
 - for the AA and BB command you are allowed to specify the nth line option (see the Help for AA and BB line commands for details)
 - For the H/HH commands, mark off the line existing lines you want replaced by the file you are copying in
 - To copy the file before or after a label instead of using the A/B line commands, define a label and use BEFORE label or AFTER label.
On the Command line, type:
COPY filename
The filename operand is optional. If you do not specify it the standard Windows File Open dialog will be displayed. You may then select the filename in this dialog.
Press Enter. The data is copied.
Note: If the current edit session is not empty, and you do not specify a destination, you will be asked to provide one of the destination options described above.
Determining the Default Directory
When COPY is specified with no filename operand at all, or with just a simple unqualified filename, the default directory is used for searching for the file. Or, if an Open dialog is displayed, Open dialog's starting directory will be determined as follows:
If there is a named file being edited in the tab where the command is issued, then the path for named file is used as the default for the command.
If there is no active file being edited, when the tab header displays (Empty):
 - If File Manager is active, the currently displayed directory of File Manager will be used.
 - If File Manager is not active, then the General Options setting for the Default File Open Directory drop-down will be used, either Last Used Dir or Working Dir.
Keep in mind that the "Working directory" means the directory that was active when SPFLite was started, if you start it from a command line. If you start SPFLite from a desktop icon, the working directory is the Start path defined in the icon's Property window.

Private Online LSAT Tutoring in Rio de Janeiro
If you're looking for quality LSAT tutoring in Rio de Janeiro, Varsity Tutors has you covered with excellent private instruction opportunities. The LSAT, or the Law School Admission Test, takes about two and a half hours to complete and assesses the skills and knowledge one would need to know to be successful in law school. If you are graduating or have graduated from a school such as the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro and are hoping to attend a law school in the United States or Canada, you're likely to be required to take the LSAT. The exam assesses you on Reading Comprehension, Analytical Reasoning, Logical Reasoning, and Writing. If you have a hard time with any of these topics or simply want to increase your skills, signing up for private Rio de Janeiro LSAT tutoring can be the resource you need to put your best foot forward.
There are many benefits to be gained from signing up for private instruction as you prepare for your LSAT. The one-on-one environment, which can be difficult to find in a traditional classroom setting, provides your teacher with the chance to get to know you. He or she can spend time learning your professional goals, your academic strengths and weaknesses, and your preferred method of learning. With this information, you can receive instruction which is customized to fit your learning style. As an example, if you're an auditory student, your private Rio de Janeiro LSAT tutoring sessions would look different than those of someone who prefers a visual learning style. Your teacher could provide lessons using a lecture style or give you a recording on how to draw a well-supported conclusion to listen to at your leisure
In addition to personalizing the lessons to suit your method of learning, private LSAT tutoring in Rio de Janeiro can spend time focusing on the exact content you most need to review. If you've already mastered most of the skills found in the Logical Reasoning section, your instructor can help you review for the Reading Comprehension section instead. If you have strong Writing skills but have a difficult time with Analytical Reasoning, your Rio de Janeiro LSAT tutoring sessions can focus on your ability to infer what could or must be true based on the provided information.
In addition to reviewing the content you'll encounter on the exam, your LSAT tutoring in Rio de Janeiro can include sessions on the format of the exam. Your teacher can give you opportunities to take a practice test in a similar environment you'll find on test day. Each section has a specific time limit and you can practice your pacing ahead of time so you can feel at ease on exam day. Your Rio de Janeiro LSAT tutor can also give you advice on different strategies to use on test day. For example, your instructor can help you practice using the process of elimination on your exam as a way to improve your chances of choosing the correct answer to questions. This is important because your LSAT score will be based on the number of correct answers you get. There is no penalty for getting a question wrong, so you'll want to make sure to at least make an educated guess on each question. Your instructor can also assist you in practicing your Writing skills. Although the Writing sample is unscored, it is sent with your scores to any school you apply to, so it's important to demonstrate your argumentative writing skills.
To get started with LSAT tutoring in Rio de Janeiro, contact Varsity Tutors. We can have you connected to an instructor in as little as 24 hours to help you work towards your LSAT goals.

What is Teletherapy?
Teletherapy describes psychotherapy where the patient meets the therapist via an online video visit.
Teletherapy is equivalent to traditional therapy. As a patient, you receive the same mental health care as with traditional therapy, but there is no need to commute anywhere. You can see your therapist online, via a Zoom call or similar.
What does teletherapy involve?
Teletherapy, just like psychotherapy in general, involves guided discussion between the patient and psychotherapist.
A common therapeutic approach is called cognitive-behavioral therapy, or CBT.
In CBT the therapist and patient work together to identify and challenge unproductive thought patterns.
What to expect from a teletherapist?
Teletherapy sessions rely heavily on conversation between the patient and the teletherapist. To enable this, the teletherapist should aim for an individualized, non-judgmental, and empathic approach to build trust between them and the patient.
What does teletherapy treat?
Teletherapy sessions will focus on changing thought patterns, healing from psychological trauma, understanding past and present relationships, controlling unwanted behaviors, or solving other problems faced by the client.
Additionally, your teletherapist can teach you coping methods to handle triggering situations, controlling difficult emotions and successfully approaching problem-solving.
Psychotherapy may last for only a few sessions or may go on for months or even years, depending on the patient. The goal of all forms of psychotherapy is helping patients reduce or eliminate disturbing thought patterns, behaviors, and emotional states so that the patients can live as happily and productively as possible.

Anthocyanin biosynthetic genes in Brassica rapa
Institute of Vegetables and Flowers, Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences, Zhongguancun Nandajie No.12, Haidian district, Beijing 100081, P. R. China
BMC Genomics 2014, 15:426 doi:10.1186/_PHONE_-426Published: 4 June 2014
Anthocyanins are a group of flavonoid compounds. As a group of important secondary metabolites, they perform several key biological functions in plants. Anthocyanins also play beneficial health roles as potentially protective factors against cancer and heart disease. To elucidate the anthocyanin biosynthetic pathway in Brassica rapa, we conducted comparative genomic analyses between Arabidopsis thaliana and B. rapa on a genome-wide level.
In total, we identified 73 genes in B. rapa as orthologs of 41 anthocyanin biosynthetic genes in A. thaliana. In B. rapa, the anthocyanin biosynthetic genes (ABGs) have expanded and most genes exist in more than one copy. The anthocyanin biosynthetic structural genes have expanded through whole genome and tandem duplication in B. rapa. More structural genes located upstream of the anthocyanin biosynthetic pathway have been retained than downstream. More negative regulatory genes are retained in the anthocyanin biosynthesis regulatory system of B. rapa.
These results will promote an understanding of the genetic mechanism of anthocyanin biosynthesis, as well as help the improvement of the nutritional quality of B. rapa through the breeding of high anthocyanin content varieties.

Moving directories is easy, on any command line flavour, it's hardly the most complex command. The real trick is remembering where that all important directory is you need to get back to when you've moved up, down and sideways in your file system!

Have no fear, pushd and popd are here! Yep, command line directory systems have stacks too (obviously).

If you're not familiar with what a stack is, or how it works, it's simply a data structure, like a stack of plates. You place a plate on top of the stack, you take the plate off the stack, you can get to the next plate, so and and so forth. It's a data structure seen time and time again throughout computer science, you can read more about it on <a href="_URL_
If your system supports directory stacks, each directory you switch to will be pushed onto the stack. This means if you want to quickly return back to your previous directory, you can pop it back off the stack! These stacks can go on and on, they're not limited to just a single directory change either!

Let's start off in our home directory:

$ cd ~/

Let's change directories into 'etc/apache2', because I need to change a few config options in Apache:

$ cd /etc/apache2

Okay, so in theory, we should have two directories now in our stack (providing you're in a new shell session and you haven't done any previous navigation around your file system), we can run the 'dirs' command to see what's currently in our stack:

$ dirs /etc/apache2 ~

Okay brilliant, we can see both '/etc/apache2' and '~' are in our stack! The directory stack is a last in first out stack, meaning anything you place on the stack will come off in exactly that order, like a stack of plates.

If we run popd at this point, it'll take us back to our home directory:

$ popd ~

You can do even more complex navigation and move forwards/backwards where necessary, meaning you don't need to keep moving up through your command history to find the right directory ever again (or keep those little pockets of brain energy remembering where that darn log file is)!

pushd accepts directories as parameters too, it'll take parameters and switch your current directory whilst pushing it onto the stack, useful if you're working with shell scripts:

text: The IEEE 802.15.4 standard specifies that a radio's PHY layer must provide an 8-bit integer value as an estimate of the received signal power. This value is commonly known as the Received Signal Strength Indication (RSSI) in the wireless sensor networks (WSN) community. While many protocols directly use the measurements that the radios provide, the standard only requires that the reported RSSI values should be linear and within ±6 dB of the actual RSSI values. However, ±6 dB is a wide error margin. For example, Packet Reception Ratio (PRR) can decrease from 100% to 0% with a 2 or 3 dB difference in the received signal strength. We examined two 802.15.4 compliant radios, the widely used TI CC2420 and Atmel AT86RF230, and discovered that they indeed introduce systematic errors when providing the RSSI readings. Therefore, we also developed a calibration scheme to effectively minimize the adverse effects associated with inaccurate RSSI values.

Roof Repairs Expose Decay in Cross Laminated Timber (CLT)
Structural Timber Repair
Structural CLT timbers suffering both wet and dry rot
A number of causes of ingress were suspect
Project consultants and the Principal Contractor sought a strategy for repair and approached Trace
Trace devised new repair methods using our experience in timber resin splice (TRS) repairs
Trace worked with TRADA (timber research and development association) to verify extent of decay
All repairs subject to staged QA process with full QA documentation produced by Trace for O&M manual
Trace were asked to inspect a Cross Laminated Timber (CLT) structure, where the walls and roof consist of pre-fabricated panels, providing an environmentally sustainable building.
A principal contractor was instructed to undertake roof repairs, and upon removal of the roof covering, it became apparent that timber members had both wet and dry rot present.
At this stage, the Principal Contractor and Structural Engineer had no strategy for repair, and Trace were asked to advise.
We employed our specialist knowledge of structural timber repair, using both traditional and modern resin splice methods to provide proposals and agree the specification.
It is important to note, that to our knowledge, the resin splice repairs which we have devised, have not everbeen completed previously, and are innovative in timber structures of this type. Localised issues could not have been successfully remedied by generalist contractors (it would have required wider replacement), and Trace's specialist knowledge was vital within both the specification and completion of these works.
Methodology had to be agreed with the Engineers, Principal Contractor, and furthermore the Timber Research and Development Association were asked to consult, specifically validating the extent of decay and resultant extent of timber cut out.

For the first time in Canada, a University of British Columbia engineer has found a way to use Wi-Fi to determine the number of building occupants and adjust ventilation accordingly – saving energy without sacrificing air quality.
"Every day, thousands of smartphones, laptops and tablets connect to the Wi-Fi network at UBC," said Stefan Storey, who holds a master's in mechanical engineering and a PhD in resource management and environmental studies from UBC. "Our Bridge software anonymously counts the number of wireless devices in each room and passes the counts on to UBC's building control system, which then adjusts airflow through the relevant building, practically in real time."
Based on an occupant count, the control system can vary the airflow to a room, ramping it up for a busy lecture, or down during the times in between.
UBC worked with Storey to test the technology at the Irving K. Barber Learning Centre library, which serves thousands of students and staff. They found that it reduced energy consumption by five per cent over a period of 12 months, while maintaining air quality and occupant comfort.
David Woodson, UBC's managing director, energy and water services, says the new system could help the university reduce greenhouse gas emissions by hundreds of tonnes and save as much as $100,000 in energy costs per year for core campus buildings. UBC is installing the technology in 10 more buildings over the next several months.
"This software uses the existing Wi-Fi network to provide good air quality and thermal comfort, so costs are lower and disruption is less compared to other occupancy detection technologies," said Woodson, adding that UBC's Wi-Fi users are completely protected as all private information is removed in strict compliance with Canadian privacy legislation.
For Storey, the project highlights the potential benefits of using Wi-Fi systems to create "smart buildings." He co-founded the company Sensible Building Science around his innovation, with support from entrepreneurship@UBC, which helps UBC student, alumni, faculty and staff entrepreneurs as they take their ventures from idea to market. His patent-pending innovation is now being installed at campuses across B.C.
"As far as I know, this is the first technology in North America to use Wi-Fi access points as a sensor network and as a way to communicate with building control systems. As we continue to develop it, we can help many more buildings become much more responsive to occupant needs," said Storey.

Criticism of the plan for a roundabout at what was the Blinker intersection on the Edgartown-Vineyard Haven Road continues. The current jury-rig — four stop signs — is an issue, largely because in busy seasons long backups on the state highway irritate and delay drivers.
Whether the roundabout plan is the right remedy remains doubtful for a great many Islanders, though how many cannot be accurately judged. Certainly part of the apprehension and distaste derives from several issues that need additional explanation.
For example, the key virtue of the roundabout, as described by its designers, is safety, but a review of the design and of the way the roundabout works suggests that the chief virtue is actually traffic flow. The roundabout allows throughput, and ancillary elements of its design attempt to minimize the safety hazards that result from traffic moving more briskly through the intersection.
Answers given recently to Martha's Vineyard Commission questions by John W. Diaz of GPI/Greenman-Pedersen Inc. in Stoneham, design consultant on the project, reinforce the view that speeding up the traffic may indeed be achieved by installing the $1.5 million roundabout, but safety is unlikely to be enhanced for drivers, pedestrians, cyclists and others.
As Mr. Diaz explains it, "While there is still limited data pertaining to safety improvements associated with converting a 4-way or All-way Stop controlled intersection to a roundabout, there have been some recent studies including the 2007 NCHRP Report 572 and the more recent NCHRP Report 672 that indicate there is no statistical change in safety between a four-way stop intersection and a roundabout."
That assessment was based on actual statistics for the actual intersection that is the focus of debate. If one prefers an analysis based on a predictive model, the outcome might be otherwise.
Mr. Diaz again: "However, the 2010 NCHRP Report outlines a methodology to predict the number and severity of crashes between various control measures including 4-way Stop and roundabouts. Based on the methodology … as well as the historical crash data and volumes at the study intersection the following safety improvements are anticipated …"
The table accompanying Mr. Diaz's letter shows that, given real data and employing the "methodology," one might anticipate total anticipated crashes numbering 4.24. Of those, the total anticipated with injury might be 1.06. With the roundabout in place, non-injury crashes might be 3.46, or .77 crashes (about three-quarters of a crash) fewer. That's a decline of 18.3 percent. And with the roundabout, crashes with injuries would number .42 (less than half a crash), or 60.2 percent, fewer.
In addition, Mr. Diaz forecasts that pedestrians may be safer because of the reduction of potential contact points between drivers and non-drivers, when the roundabout is compared with the 4-way stop. Maybe, but it's awfully hard to see how contact between drivers and non-drivers is made safer by keeping the drivers moving smartly along and having the non-drivers dancing for safety among them, when, at the 4-way, all the drivers are stopped at least momentarily.
In light of this analysis, it seems reasonable to argue that the roundabout will keep traffic flowing more briskly. But to argue further that safety will be enhanced, especially when the intersection as it is does not seem especially dangerous anyhow, is at best fanciful.
Then there is the matter of safety, convenience and efficiency for Vineyard Transportation Authority buses and their passengers. The intersection is a transfer hub, and so bus activity must be accommodated in the design. That requires space adjacent to the roundabout itself, a good deal of space.
This tension between traffic flow and safety considerations means that this construction project will be extensive as well as expensive, involving easements to enlarge the right of way and a year's worth of construction spread out over a couple of years, because no work will be done during the summer.
In addition, the roundabout will require some driver education. Roundabouts are uncommon, and drivers may be unfamiliar with the safe techniques required to navigate such a traffic artifice. Four-way stops are common and well understood by all.
The roundabout plan may be the right plan — economic and fluid — but the case for the wisdom of it has not been made.

The BurgerMaster segment may have been legendary, but some legends aren't true
Raymond Chen
Some time ago, I discussed the historical significance of the Burgermaster drive-in restaurant. This triggered a memory from one of my colleagues:
I also heard that the BurgerMaster was identified by an ordinal value, and that ordinal value was the telephone number of the restaurant.
That sounds like a fun story. Alas, it doesn't hold up.
The GetProcAddress function checks the numeric value of the string pointer it is given. If it is greater than or equal to 65536, then it is interpreted as a string pointer. But if it is less than 65535, then it's treated as an ordinal. Therefore, ordinal values are limited to 65535. That's not enough digits to hold a U.S. telephone number.
The GlobalMasterHandle function was exported as ordinal 28. There does not appear to be any significance to this number. It was just the next available ordinal in the block assigned to global memory functions.

 Is there any chance that "28" was the company-wide speeddial number that Burgermaster was assigned to? (Like you'd hit "speeddial-2-8" or the like, depending on how the phone system did speeddials?) Or maybe it was just the last two digits of the full phone number (by coincidence or not)?
 I'm in my 30's and I remember as a child only needing to dial 4 digits when calling within the same exchange, so it is possible that a phone number would fit within 16 bits, even if it was a phone number only usable within Microsoft's geographic area. I don't know the exact timing of that, though, and I don't live near Washington so things may have been different there.

 On the other hand it will sound more realistic if the tale is "I also heard that the BurgerMaster was identified by an ordinal value, and that ordinal value was the last 4 digits of telephone number of the restaurant."
 It's very common for big companies to allocate a block of continuous phone numbers for their PBX phones. It's quite doable to just allocate a block of numbers and assign forwarding to restaurants according to the internal ordinal number of it."

 Ah yes, the good old days, when memory was so tight that you preferred to import functions by ordinal instead of name. I think you could probably go one better than GetProcAddress(GetModuleHandle("KERNEL"), "28") by using MAKEINTRESOURCE(28) instead. Or you could always manually import it in your.DEF file; I've done that before when I was using an old version of MSVC for Windows 3.0 but I wanted to import Windows 3.1 functions.

 Sorry for nitpicking or completely missing a joke, but makintresource(28) would do a
 , without the _PTR in the olden days _TAG_ I guess.
 I think it was pointed out here before somewhere that the first 64k of memory was reserved so that's how a number instead of a string pointer into memory could be detected.
 I'm guessing this is safer and quicker than parsing the string for total value between "min" and "max" (and restrict to decimal digits to avoid identifier confusion).

 As described in I know what I mean. Why don't you?, come up with a simple, replicatable piece of code that displays the bug. For example,
 use strict; use warnings; my %result; my %seq = (key => 'asdfasdfasdf'); my @string = 'asdf'; foreach my $string (@string) { chomp $string; foreach my $key (keys %seq) { $result{$string} =()= ($seq{$key} =~ /$string/ig); } foreach my $s (keys %result) { print "$s => $result{$s}\n"; } }
 outputs asdf => 3 as expected.

Aging: Sociological Concept
Sociological Imagination and Its Use by Sociologists
Sociological imagination is the capacity to understand the connection between personal life, and the results of large social powers. Sociological imagination helps us to understand the bad historical scene and the relationship that exists between people in society and enables us to make sense of the social condition by showing how our troubles affect or are influenced by public issues. Sociological imaginations help us address social problems which exist in society. For example, there is the debate on the link between power and social knowledge, where companies that gather more information about the habits and preference of consumers, can gain too much power and control of the market (Puga & Easthope, 2017).
Differences and Similarities of Controlling Image and Stereotypes
According to Organista, Marin & Chun (2010), the controlling image refers to adverse ethnic and gender stereotype aimed at lesser marginalized groups, to justify and uphold the norms and powers of a central group. Controlling images are similar to stereotypes because it targets lesser groups like blacks, and women, and affirms the powers and norms of the dominant group. In Vietnam and Korea, control imaging negatively affected how women constructed and enacted gender in their daily lives, while in America, black men have been stereotyped as neglectful, deviant and irresponsible in their family and social roles. However, controlling images can be different from stereotypes because it aims at dehumanizing and controlling specific minority groups by gender or race, while stereotypes aim at bringing better treatment and quality care, in a therapeutic relationship, thus help to meet needs of specific clients who need help.
Importance of Historical and Social Context on Age Gendering
Human actions transcend differences in race, gender, age, culture, and the social and historical circumstances; therefore, the historical and societal background is vital in understanding age gendering because they have the cognitive ability to make sense of another person's action. The social and historical context integrates behavioral facts and knowledge about the sociocultural settings which are necessary for offering explanations of why people cry (Repko, Newell & Szostak, 2011).
According to Higgs & Gilleard (2017), social and historical context is crucial in offering an understanding gendering of age because it mediates issues which prove problematic to women, within which midlife women engage with the health problems they experience.
Ageism refers the stereotypical construction and prejudices against an age group, which manifests as behaviors attitudes and institutional practices and represents discrimination of old people, by the middle-aged group. In the United States, ageism has been attributed to the prejudice of one group against the other, specifically by the young people towards the old. For example, the United States of Administration on ageing indicates that a large percentage of the elderly is marginally poor, or economically vulnerable. Moreover, there is an ageist stereotypical perception that older women who sit on rocks and knit all days continually complain about their ailments (In Ayalon & In Tesch-Römer, 2018).
Social Construction of Age
Social construction is the impression where individuals and groups produce their perception of knowledge and reality. It also refers to how people's expectations influence the available opportunities open to individuals as they group old. Age is socially constructed through shaping the meaning and experience of aging to include the expectations and assumptions of those around us, about how we should behave, whether we are like, what we can do, and what we should be doing at different ages (Morgan & Kunkel, 2007).
Application of Aging in Sociological Thoughts of Relational Power
Infeld (2002) outlined that aging has helped sociologists accept that power is relational because it increases our thoughts of the spiritual and religious wellbeing, of old American worshippers engaging in Judeo-Christian tradition faith-based sects. Aging has enabled sociologists to hold conceptualization regarding how religiosity diverge from a biblical perspective, and the limited investigations about the aspects of religious activities like gender relations or power on the probable health profits of spiritual behavior. Moreover, aging helps us understand spiritual actions through exploring a concert ritual which has a particular salience on old people, as a figurative illustration of power among the elderly. A better understanding of the ritual supports the representation and the reproduction of power of elderly such as the rural Japanese society because they are located in an age grade structure which is the portion of the political association of the area.

Google Tag Manager: Create 'button conversion' triggers for all pages
The best way to track the clicks of all buttons is to create a new GTM trigger.
 1. Go to the Triggers Page
 2. Select New in the top right hand side
 3. Click "Select a trigger type", and then select "All Elements" under the Click heading, as we want to trigger the conversion when a user clicks our button. GTM1
 4. Then Select "Some Clicks" as we only want it to trigger on certain clicks on the page.
 5. Then Select "Click URL" -> "equals" -> "The url of the button you want to track" GTM2 This will now trigger everytime someone clicks on an element with the click url you have specified.
 6. Save your Trigger and Assign it to your Conversion Tag. This will trigger on every page of the website as we have not limited the tigger to a specific page.

This chapter discusses the concept of administrative justice. The complexity and scale of modern government means that it is inevitable that sometimes things will go wrong. Public bodies make hundreds of thousands of decisions each year. Sometimes, the pressures of making thousands of decisions on finite resources mean that public bodies may not treat members of the public appropriately and not fulfil the aims of good government. When things go wrong, some will wish to challenge decisions made by the public authorities. Although such disputes are usually resolved by the courts applying the principles of judicial review, alternatives such as statutory tribunals, the ombudsman, and public inquiry provide other ways to challenge decisions made by public bodies. These three procedures form the basis of the system of administrative justice.

IPRotate is a tool used for Burp Suite which uses AWS API Gateway to change your IP on every request. This extension allows you to easily spin up API Gateways across multiple regions.
All the Burp Suite traffic for the targeted host is then routed through the API Gateway endpoints which causes the IP to be different on each request. (There is a chance for recycling of IPs but this is pretty low and the more regions you use the less of a chance.)
This is useful to bypass different kinds of IP blocking like bruteforce protection that blocks based on IP, API rate limiting based on IP or WAF blocking based on IP etc.
- Setup Jython in Burp Suite
- Install the boto3 module for Python 2
pip install boto3
- Ensure you have a set of AWS keys that have full access to the API Gateway service. This is available through the free tier of AWS.
- Insert the credentials into the fields.
- Insert the target domain you wish to target.
- Select HTTPS if the domain is hosted over HTTPS.
- Select all the regions you want to use.(The more you use the larger the IP pool will be)
- Click "Enable".
- Once you are done ensure you click disable to delete all the resources which were started.
If you want to check on the resources and enpoints that were started or any potential errors you can look at the output console in Burp.
The Burp UI
Make sure you have Jython installed and add IPRotate.py through the Burp Extension options.
