David W. Grissmer and Andrew J. Mashburn, researchers at the University of Virginia's Curry School of Education, have received a $2.8 million grant to evaluate the effectiveness of the "WINGS for Kids" afterschool social and emotional learning program at four elementary schools in Charleston, S.C.
Ginny Deerin, a marketing executive and political fundraiser, founded the WINGS afterschool program in 1996 to serve children attending low-performing schools in high-risk neighborhoods in North Charleston. The children in these four schools and in the study experience extreme levels of economic and social risks; more than 90 percent receive free or reduced lunch.
The program seeks to teach students how to make good decisions and build healthy relationships. The 15-hour-a-week curriculum weaves 30 learning objectives into everyday activities that develop self-awareness, relationship skills, social awareness, self-management and responsible decision-making.
"Once children enter school, the afterschool hours before parents get home from work are critical periods for kids," Mashburn said. Many afterschool programs have been established to address the need to keep kids safe and constructively engaged during these hours, but rarely do these programs have evidence that what seems effective really is effective.
"Past evaluations provide encouraging evidence that the WINGS program has successfully impacted learning outcomes for kids," Mashburn said.
One study found that students who enrolled in two or more years of WINGS passed state standardized math and reading assessments at significantly higher rates than non-WINGS students. More years in WINGS also correlated with better grades and improved school attendance.
"The purpose of this grant is to provide a more rigorous evaluation of the WINGS afterschool program than has previously been possible, and in doing so we will be working with a large number of children and assessing the program's impacts on a broad range of academic and social outcomes across three years," Mashburn said. "This type of rigorous comprehensive longitudinal evaluation is very important for determining the effectiveness of this program."
Grissmer, a principal research scientist, and Mashburn, a senior scientist, work at the Center for Advanced Study of Teaching and Learning, a research center based at the Curry School that conducts empirical research to improve schooling and the outcomes for children.
Because more students apply for the WINGS program each year than can be accommodated, each school holds a lottery to determine which kindergartners may enroll, Mashburn explained. This circumstance will enable the researchers to be even more confident that any improvements they see can be attributed to the WINGS program.
"We will be able to conduct a randomized control trial comparing the social skills and achievement outcomes of students who were selected to enroll in WINGS with students not able to enroll, and to follow both groups over an extended period of time," he said.
Grissmer and Mashburn will examine students who start kindergarten in fall 2012 and follow them for three years. Students who start kindergarten in fall 2013 and fall 2014 will also participate, and more than 300 children will be tracked over the course of the study.
"The evidence is beginning to point to stronger social and emotional skills as a critically missing part of our national educational policy, which currently focuses almost entirely on academic achievement," Grissmer said. Evidence suggests that children's long-term outcomes are improved not only by gains in cognitive skills, but also gains in social and emotional skills, such as those emphasized in the WINGS program.
The research team, which includes Julia Blodgett, Elizabeth Cottone, Nancy Deutsch, and Sara Rimm-Kaufman from the Curry School, as well as assistant professor Laura Brock from the College of Charleston, who earned her Ph.D. from U.Va., will assess students' behaviors and relationships at home and at school, as well as reading skills, oral vocabulary, listening comprehension and mathematics skills. They will also conduct teacher surveys, parent interviews and classroom observations.
The four-year grant is being funded by the Institute for Education Sciences, part of the U.S. Department of Education.
In 2009, WINGS was named a "high-performing nonprofit" by the Alliance for Effective Social Investing, and has been recognized as representing best practices by the Academy for Educational Development, the National Institute of Out-of-School Time and the National Association of Elementary School Principals.

Subsidy vs. Installment Models-Economic Impacts
The key difference between wireless subsidized and financing/installment models is that a sizable portion of the phone price is carried by the carrier in the subsidized model. In the installment model, the full price is split monthly in equal installments over the full period of the plan with no subsidization. With the installment plan model, the wireless courier makes a marginally higher incremental margin. In both Canada and the United States, major wireless carriers no longer offer subsidized contracts. In addition, the cost of wireless phones is rising, resulting in a decline in subscriber growth. Below, we discuss this topic in more detail.
- A wireless subsidized model or contract bears a sizable portion of the cost of the phone paid by the carrier up front. The result is a smaller contract price for the consumer.
- To protect the initial cost of acquisition (COA) by the courier, the consumer must sign a contract for a period of months. This is typically 24 months in both Canada and the United States.
- The subsidized price is recovered over the length of the contract.
- In the installment model, the full retail price (FRP) is shown up front to the consumer.
- The FRP price is divided over the term of the plan into monthly repayments. Most plans are 24 months.
- In Canada, the installment plan can include a payment up front. If there is payment up front, it will reduce monthly repayments.
- Interest is not charged over the repayment period of the wireless phone.
- The phone belongs to the consumer at the end of the plan.
Model Cost Comparison
- When comparing the purchase of a wireless device of around $600 in value between a subsidy and outright payment contract model, the following applies:
- The following items are charged for in the subsidized model, a monthly service charge, activation and retention ETF/EU waiver.
- Total monthly cost of the $600 phone is $46.33.
- The following items are charged for in the outright payment model, a monthly service charge, activation, retention and the outright cost of the wireless phone.
- The total monthly cost of the phone on the installment plan is $69.99.
- From this exercise completed by NPI, the cost of an outright payment contract model is more expensive than a subsidized contract model. This is primarily because a subsidized phone contract has a reduced cost on the phone model bought.
- The idea of a subsidized model is about retention, keeping the consumer in the carriers stable for as long as possible, increasing your profit per client over time.
- In an installment model, there is a general incremental profit over subsidized contracts.
- Wireless carriers raise the finance for the phones through bank loans and public security.
- Because the cost of an ever-improving wireless phone is increasing constantly, the risks to profit margins are high for the carriers and have dropped the subsidized model.
- All the leading carriers in Canada and the United States only offer the installment model now. AT&T stopped using the subsidized contract model in 2016.
- The 24-months installment contract is the normal contract length, but longer installment contracts are now being explored by carrier companies. This will keep the consumer locked in for longer with increased profit margins.
- According to Verizon, their previous consumer subscribers are not replacing their phones. This indicates both the subscriber and profit margins are down.
- An article by the New York Intelligencer supports Verizon's findings and that a smartphone plateau has been reached. United States wireless sales are in a decline across the board. This is expected to continue into 2022.


School History
In late 2008, Heather Fish began discussing the idea of founding a new martial arts school within her community of friends and martial artists. The founding members came together to create and support a new community where individual martial artists could not only train together, but actively support each other as they grew as a martial artists and as people.
Polaris Fellowship incorporated as a Michigan Nonprofit in 2009.
Polaris is named for the North Star. This symbolizes that as we study and learn together, we develop the tools which allow us to better find our individual paths. Polaris is deeply rooted in fellowship and the school actively works to build a supportive martial arts community for its members.
The school's symbol, the pole star, was designed by Scott Wilhelm.

How did The Book Fairies celebrate International Women's Day?
Book Fairies around the world celebrated International Women's Day by hiding copies of Our Shared Shelf books – and there are still more to find on the 9th!
Emma Watson is a Book Fairy for the day
We must admit, we had an extra pair of hands on the day – Emma Watson hid books around places of significance to women and the feminist movement. Did you spot one?
The places Emma visited:
The Gertrude Stein statue: Gertrude Stein was an American novelist, poet, playwright and art collector. She was a leading figure in modernism in literature and art in the early 20th century. She wrote Tender Buttons and Three Lives, as well as work dealing with homosexual themes.
The Joan of Arc statue: The statue of French patriot and saint Joan of Arc was sculpted by a woman, Anna Vaughn Hyatt Huntington, in 1915. It was the very first statue depicting a non-fictional woman in NYC and was the only one until the 1980s.
Blue Stockings: a radical bookstore which holds regular events, including a feminist book club.
Harriet Tubman memorial: Harriet Tubman was an American abolitionist and humanitarian. Born into slavery in 1822, she escaped and subsequently rescued around seventy enslaved families and friends. After the American civil war she became an active participant in the struggle for women's suffrage.
Harriet Truman statue: Eleanor Roosevelt was the longest-serving First Lady in US history and she later served as the US delegate to the United Nations. She was the first chair of the UN Commission on Human Rights and also oversaw the drafting of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.
You can see all her videos and pictures on Emma's instagram.
The books Emma dropped:
My Life on the Road by Gloria Steinem
The Color Purple by Alice Walker
Persepolis by Marjane Satrapi
How to be a Woman by Caitlin Moran
Mom & Me & Mom by Maya Angelou
Half the Sky by Sheryl WuDunn and Nicholas Kristof

Solution:
Download Question With Solution PDF ››
Concept:-
IRC Recommendations for grade compensation:
IRC gave the following guidelines for grade compensations:-
 1. Grade compensation is not required for grades flatter than 4% because the loss of tractive force is negligible.
 2. Grade compensation is \(\frac{{30 + {\rm{R}}}}{{\rm{R}}}{\rm{\% }}\), where R – radius of horizontal curve in m.
 3. The maximum grade compensation is limited to \(\frac{{75}}{{\rm{R}}}{\rm{\% }}\)
Calculation:
Given:
The gradient of the Curve \(= \frac{1}{{25}} \times 100 = 4{\rm{\% }}\)
\(\Rightarrow {\rm{GC}} = \frac{{30 + 100}}{{100}} \le \frac{{75}}{{100}}\)
⇒ GC = 0.75%
\(∴ {\rm{Compensated\;Gradient}} = \left( {\frac{1}{{25}} \times 100} \right) - 0.75 = {\rm{\;}}4 - 0.75 = 3.25{\rm{\% }}\)
But, Compensated Gradient (C.G) should be ≥ 4 %
Since the gradient of the curve is 4 %, no grade compensation is required.
∴ C.G = 4%

FIBA, the international governing body of basketball, has demonstrated its dedication to sustainability by unveiling an MVP trophy crafted entirely from 100% recycled materials. This significant initiative took place during the FIBA 3×3 World Tour 2023 held in Edmonton, Canada.
The design of the trophy was entrusted to Sustain Awards, and it has been meticulously crafted using sustainable methods and techniques, employing 100% recycled waste packaging as its foundation.
This innovative approach has led to a remarkable 75% reduction in carbon dioxide emissions throughout the trophy's entire manufacturing process compared to a conventional trophy. This encompassing reduction covers various aspects such as materials, packaging, and transportation.
Furthermore, this environmentally conscious process effectively offsets a total of five tonnes of carbon dioxide emissions (CO2e). This figure is equivalent to the impact of removing 397 cars from the road for a single day.
Alex Sanchez, the Managing Director of FIBA 3×3, emphasised the significance of this trophy in symbolising FIBA 3×3's strong commitment to reducing its carbon footprint. He expressed pride in being at the forefront of introducing an environmentally-friendly trophy, which stands as a testament to FIBA 3×3's dedication to sustainability and innovation.
Sanchez remarked, "Our objective was to create a trophy that had minimal environmental impact while evoking a sense of pride for its recipients. The introduction of this captivating MVP trophy reflects our achievement of precisely that goal."
Incorporating this groundbreaking MVP trophy represents a substantial stride forward for FIBA 3×3, resonating with the concerns of both players and fans regarding the well-being of our planet. The environmentally-friendly addition to the FIBA 3×3 World Tour 2023 is anticipated to garner widespread appreciation and acknowledgment.


When Does a Lease Terminate Pre-Petition?
Published On: March 30th, 2015 | Author: Perry Law, P.C. | Category: Bankruptcy Florida
Two Florida bankruptcy courts have addressed a similar issue with different results. The scenario is common enough, a tenant and landlord enter into a lease which the tenant subsequently defaults under. The landlord brings a cause of action for eviction, obtains a judgment and eventually a writ of possession. But, before the writ of possession is executed the tenant files for bankruptcy. At that point is the lease one which can be assumed under the Bankruptcy Code 365?
In In re Key Largo Watersports, 377 BR 738, the court held no. There the court held that the judgment and writ of possession terminated the tenant's rights and thus there was no lease to assume. However, in In re 2408 W. Kennedy, 512 BR 708, the court held that until the writ was executed the tenant still had a right of possession and thus there was in fact a lease to assume.
These two cases stress the importance of properly entering into and terminating a lease before bankruptcy; and, understanding how a lawsuit and/or bankruptcy can impact your lease.

Does the size of the rain collecting vessel matter? In other words, does its diameter matter?
Nope, any diameter will produce the same result.
Why? the height of the water in the collector is equal to the volume of water in it divided by the area of its opening. The volume of water in the collector is proportional to the rate of rainfall (measured in something like drops per unit area) times the area of the can. If we put these together, we find that the area of the rain gauge cancels from the top and bottom of the ratio—meaning the area doesn't matter!
The only meaningful measure left is the height of the rain collected. Hence only mm or inches.
Another way to think about it is – if all the rain that fell didn't disappear (absorption in the ground, evaporation, etc.), and if there were a way to keep it in one location like it is in a vessel then it's height would stand at x mm, or inches, if you are like me :), in that location.
So, stating the measurement as volume would be misleading unless you also specified the amount of area on which that volume fell.

Tipster Alexandre Marion sends us a tip about the AutoCAD Block Attribute Manager command, better known as Battman.
"I've found a command called Battman (pretty easy to remember, right?) that lets you reorganize a block the way you want it, without having to enter the Block Editor. This really helps out in situations such as dealing with a block made by someone with no experience."
Notes from Cadalyst Tip Patrol: Battman is the command you want to use in AutoCAD to help you manage the block attributes of a specific block. It doesn't change the information that you put into a block that has attributes; it manages the attribute objects of a block instead.
To use it, type Battman on the Command line. This will bring up the Block Attribute Manager window. Select a block, then edit the settings of the attributes in that block.

Coins (also referred to as gold pieces, gp, gold, or simply money) are the most common form of currency in Old School RuneScape. They can be used to represent the value of virtually every single tradeable item in the game, as well as various services offered throughout.
When the number of coins in a single stack exceeds 99,999, then the examine text reads "____ x Coins", where the blank is the exact number of coins in the stack. If there is less than that, the examine text reads "Lovely money!" when examined in the inventory. When a stack of coins on the ground is examined, the examine will always show the exact amount.
Players often refer to one thousand (1,000) coins as 1k and one million (1,000,000) coins as 1m or 1mil. Both can be applied to larger numbers, for example, 10m refers to ten million coins (10,000,000). More rarely, 1b or 1bil refers to one billion coins (1,000,000,000).
Alchemy spells, which create coins, cannot be cast on coins. If a player attempts it, a message will inform the player that "Coins are already made of gold." You can, however, turn other items made of gold like gold ore and gold bars into coins.
The alternate terms for coins have seen seldom official usage since RuneScape Classic was replaced by RuneScape 2. One of the only NPCs who say "GP" ingame is the brewer dwarf in Keldagrim. The reason given is that he prefers to associate with gold at the expense of proper terminology. Additionally, when the glassblower was added to Entrana, he always referred to coins as 'gold pieces'. Another instance that a player may find coins referred to as "gp" is when attempting to pass through the gates to Al-Kharid, right-clicking upon the gate will give the player the option to spend 10 gp to go through.
- 3 coins respawn can be found from Varrock West Bank basement, more can be telegrabbed from the locked room.
- There are a few coin spawns in the room with Elvarg.
- There are a few coin spawns in the Taverley Dungeon near ghosts.
- There are a few coin spawns in the Haunted Mine.
- There are a few coin spawns in the King Black Dragon's den.
- There are a few coin spawns in the Asgarnian Ice Dungeon.
- There are some 5-coin spawns in Varrock Sewers near the red spiders.
- Asking Anja at Rimmington for some free stuff, will lead to a long dialogue, followed by Anja giving 1 to 3 coins.
- There are some gold spawns all over the Wilderness.
- There are 7 coins that spawn in the Edgeville Dungeon.
Real world trading
Some players purchase coins in exchange for real-world money using websites such as eBay. This is known as real world trading. Although players can potentially gain monetary value within RuneScape by such means, this method is not recommended, as Rule #12 of the RuneScape Code of Conduct forbids the trading of RuneScape items for items outside of RuneScape, and can result in a player ban.
- Coins appear in the inventory as plain flat cylinders, but during Grim Tales, it is revealed that coins have more intricate designs imprinted on their faces.
- During the quest Shilo Village, there is an item that looks like coins in one of the tunnels; however, the coins can be picked up only by use of Telekinetic Grab. They are not the same as normal coins, being non-stackable and untradeable. If a player tries to pick them up without Telekinetic Grab, they will be attacked and the coins will turn to dust.
- The maximum number of coins in a stack is 2,147,483,647, because RuneScape uses 32-bit signed integers to store values, which are unable to represent a higher number. Theoretically it would be possible to use higher values by storing them in larger data types like long (64-bit integer with a maximum value of 9,223,372,036,854,775,807).

Are you as enthusiastic as we are about showcasing how attractive, safe and fun cycling in the Netherlands is? If so, feel free to contact us and we will explain how to cooperate with us.


Unit templates
Repeating containers
To include a repeating container in a display you must use the tag. Without tags a repeating address container would look like this:
Address Line 1 A; Address Line 1 B
Address Line 2 A; Address Line 2 B
Address Line 3 A; Address Line 3 B
Although of course we'd like it to look like this:
Address Line 1 A
Address Line 2 A
Address Line 3 A
Address Line 1 B
Address Line 2 B
Address Line 3 B
To achieve the ideal layout above a tag is used to define the format of each discrete block, which then repeats as many times as the container does.
Let's say you're pulling this address into a "Related entities" bundle, so as to display the address with the entity name. The display template would look like this:
^ca_entities.address.address1,
^ca_entities.address.address2,
^ca_entities.address.city,
^ca_entities.address.stateprovince,
^ca_entities.address.postalcode,
In the above code the unit delimiter (,) is used between instances of the full address container. The code is used between lines of the individual container placement. It ensures that if no data has been catalogued you won't get a string of empty spaces and commas.
Relative to relationships
The tag also supports a relativeTo setting which is used to shift the frame of reference of a display to a specified target. This is vital for interstitial record displays, hierarchical displays and indirect relationships (see below).
Hierarchical relationships
The tag allows users to organize and display metadata for hierarchically related records. For example, you might have a hierarchy within the Collections table, wherein one parent collection houses smaller child collections. Without the tag, you would only be able to display the preferred label of each child, and you wouldn't be able to specify delimiters such as line breaks. With the tag, however, you can break the child records up into discrete chunks, and you can include additional metadata about each. If you want to display child records along with their idno's, for example, you could do this:
^ca_collections.preferred_labels,
In which relativeTo specifies the table in question and asks the display to find child records. Once the relativeTo frame has been set, however, you can drop the.children and simply reference the collections table, wherein the child records live. If you were to continue including children, (i.e. ca_collections.children.preferred_labels) you would essentially be looking for child records within child records. To use this template in the opposite direction, to display the immediate parent of the record at hand, you would simply format it as . To display all parents, you can format the template with respect to the entire hierarchy: . If you are dealing with multiple records, either as children or as hierarchy, you'll want to enclose the entire template within a , so that each record's metadata can be displayed in an organized manner. For example,
 ^ca_collections.preferred_labels,
would display records like this:
Mini Collection X, 100.1
Mini Collection Y, 100.2
instead of this:
Mini Collection X, Mini Collection Y, 100.1, 100.2
You can also nest additional layers of tags within the syntax discussed above by following the directions in the following section.
Indirect relationships
One use of the tag is to allow cataloguers to display metadata with some relative distance to the chosen record. We could call this the Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon for CollectiveAccess.
Let's say you're creating a Collection summary and you'd like to display metadata about Entities, but Entities aren't related directly to Collections. Perhaps they are related to Objects related to the Collection. Never fear! Just as Bruce Willis is 2 degrees away from Kevin Bacon (thanks to Brad Pitt, "The Hamster Factor" and the movie "8"), Entities are also 2 degrees away from Collections thanks to their relativity to Objects.
How does this look in practice? Here's a display template that is used on the object bundle (through the GUI) or object placement (in a profile). It pulls statement metadata from a container on each Entity record related to each Object.
^ca_entities.preferred_labels
The result is a list of artwork titles, artist names and their statements for the works in the collection. Note that in the Falling Water example entity John Smith has two repeats of the statements container:
Restricted indirect relationships
You can further restrict indirect relationships by including restrictToTypes and/or restrictToRelationshipTypes. For example to restrict the relationship included in the display to just individual entities linked as artist you'd use the following:
You may sort the order in which units are output by adding sort and optionally sortDirection to the unit. For example to sort output by the name of a the related object do something like this:
Notice that the sort direction is ASC. Sort direction may be either ASCending or DESCending. If you omit a value, ascending is assumed. You may sort on more than one bundle value by listing each bundle value in sequence separated by semi-colons.
Skipping units
(From v1.5) You can skip records selected by unit tags using the skipIfExpression attribute. It takes an Expression as parameter. Note that the skipIfExpression attribute is evaluated on record level, so while you can use it if your relativeTo spec is a container or an attribute, it doesn't really make sense to do so. Below is a simple example that would skip all entities where the idno had the sequence test in it.

TFSD Cancels School Friday Due To Air Quality
The Twin Falls School District has cancelled school for Friday August 21, 2020 due to poor air quality levels. Fire season has been especially bad for the air in Southern Idaho as a number of fires are spreading smoke across the area. Multiple fires started over the night Wednesday and another fire near the Utah border ignited Thursday. The smoke has caused the air quality index to skyrocket, reaching over 188 by the end of school Thursday. The school email to parents states 'Twin Falls School District policy on air quality for student activities (including physical education classes, recess, and athletics practices) restricts outdoor activities anytime the air quality index is over 150.'
Along with complicated situations in schools due to the required masks for COVID Protocol, holding classes at school isn't possible or safe right now. The current protocol level allows students to attend school while wearing masks. Each hour the students are allowed, in most cases, to step outside and take off their masks for a few minutes while social distancing. Sending students out in the poor air would force them to breath in the smoke.
Officials believe the poor air quality will continue through Friday, therefore the decision was made to cancel in school classes and activities.
The haze from the fires also made for an interesting sight when the sun rose on Thursday morning, looking like a dark red ball in the sky rather than the regular glowing yellow sun.


Oxford's university challenge: describe this cactus
Interviewers say their pointed questions about cacti help to find students who think rather than merely recite facts
A cactus. Describe... Photograph: Getty
Teenagers being interviewed for a place at Oxford might be handed a cactus and asked to describe it, or asked whether someone who risks their life in an extreme sport is a hero or a fool, according to sample questions released by the university today in an attempt to demystify its admissions procedure.
Candidates applying to study music might be asked what kind of musical instrument they would invent, while applicants for English literature might be asked why Coronation Street's 50th anniversary would be of interest to a scholar.
The university published details of the sample interview questions to help explain the reasoning behind apparently bizarre inquiries from admissions tutors.
The interviewer who set the cactus question, Martin Speight, of St Anne's College, said: "We give the student a cactus in a pot and a close-up photo of the cactus's surface structure and ask them to describe the object in as much detail as possible using the plant and the photo. We are looking for observation, attention to detail, both at the large and micro scale."
Candidates seeking a place on an undergraduate degree in biological sciences are expected to deduce why the cactus is bulbous, or why it has a particular array of spines.
"There will frequently be more than one logical answer to these questions, and we are likely to follow one answer with another question – for example: 'The big spines are to stop the cactus being eaten, yes, but by what sort of animals?'," Speight said.
"We would also bring in more general questions at the end of the cactus discussion such as what are the problems faced by plants and animals living in very dry habitats such as deserts."
The Coronation Street question is intended to show that the techniques of literary criticism can be applied to other media and open up discussion about storytelling, collaborative writing and how a writer such as Dickens can move from being regarded as "popular" to being accepted as part of the canon.
Candidates for psychology might be asked what is "normal" for humans. Dave Leal, of Brasenose College, said: "There were various ways that this question might be approached, but some approach that distinguished the normal from the statistical average was a good start. Issues such as whether normality is to be judged by biological factors that might be held to be common to humans, or whether it's normal within a particular culture or at a particular period of history, might also be worth addressing."
Mike Nicholson, director of undergraduate admissions at Oxford, said interviews were meant to replicate Oxford's tutorial system, encouraging students to think rather than recite facts.
"There are many myths surrounding Oxford interviews, and they can be the most anxiety-provoking part of the Oxford application process for students. These questions show that the interviews are not designed to see how quickly students get the 'right' answer or show off specialist knowledge, but to gauge how they respond to new ideas."
Oxford's selection process also involves assessing potential through aptitude tests, written work, exam grades and references.


Home What is a Cloud Access Security Broker (CASB)?
What is a Cloud Access Security Broker (CASB)?
by Ahsan MuGhaL
What is a Cloud Access Security Broker (CASB)
What is a Cloud Access Security Broker (CASB)? Cybercriminals are leveraging technology to improve their malware and get past standard security policies deployed to cloud infrastructures. Therefore, businesses must integrate modern technology with their remote workplaces to improve network security and mitigate the risks of attacks.
What is a Cloud Access Security Broker (CASB)
One option is to deploy a Cloud Access Security Broker from an SSE Vendor to address risks in your cloud services. The goal is to enforce security policies through cloud-centric security capabilities that provide safe access to users. Since hybrid working is expanding, organizations must secure their remote and mobile employees while protecting the data and apps.
Understanding CASB
Cloud Access Security Broker is a cloud-based security policy enforcer that you can place between your cloud service and the consumers. You can use CASB to improve the enforceability of the security policies as your remote employees access cloud resources. Organizations prefer CASB as it can address security gaps in SaaS, PaaS, and IaaS environments.
Pillars of a CASB Solution
CASB is an integral part of enterprise security due to the following four pillars:
 1. Visibility
 Organizations require better visibility and control over their managed and unmanaged cloud services. Instead of an allow or block stance, CASB can allow users to access useful services while retaining governing access to activities and data within critical services.
 Even when CASB focuses on cloud security, it can help you control your cloud expenses. You can use it to discover all cloud services, generate a report regarding your cloud expenses, and detect redundancies in cloud functionalities.
 2. Compliance
 Organizations take compliance into consideration as they decide to move to the cloud. Regulatory agencies have designed compliance standards to ensure the safety and integrity of data. However, if an organization ignores these concerns, it can lead to costly data breaches.
 CASB ensures compliance with GDPR or any other regulatory agency as you use the cloud to facilitate your remote workforce. Therefore, it can assist in safeguarding your organization against data breaches while maintaining security policies defined by data regulators.
 3. Data security
 Organizations need to leverage sophisticated cloud DLP detection mechanisms like document fingerprinting and reduce the detection surface area to achieve accuracy. CASB solution shuttles suspected violations whenever it detects sensitive content in transit.
 You can use CASB to conduct deep threat observations to help your company identify and stop malware before it compromises your network security. Therefore, it acts as a gatekeeper to facilitate security.
 4. Threat protection
 Organizations must ensure that their employees are not introducing malware into the cloud resources. If your employee tries to upload an infected file across your external and internal network, CASB scans and remediates threats in real time. It can also detect and prevent unauthorized access to your cloud services, assisting in detecting compromised accounts.
What CASB Offers to Their Users
CASB contains unique security features that provide extensive control over your cloud applications. These features may include:
 - Cloud governance
 - Risk Assessment
 - Data Loss Prevention
 - Configuration auditing
 - Malware detection
 - Data encryption and key management
 - SSO and IAM integration
How a CASB Solution Works
Since a Cloud Access Security Blocker provides visibility and control over cloud infrastructures to meet security requirements through a three-step process:
 1. Discovery
 A CASB solution leverages auto-discovery to compile a list of third-party services and provides insights into who is utilizing them at a specified timestamp.
 2. Classification
 Once a CASB solution understands cloud usage, it determines the risks associated with each application by displaying the data and showing how the system shares it.
 3. Remediation
 After determining the relative risk of every application, the CASB uses the information to define security policies to secure the organization's data and restrict user access to meet security requirements.
How to deploy a CASB solution
CASB focuses on simplicity and ease of access; you can deploy it to your on-premises or cloud infrastructure. However, there are three CASB deployment models you can consider:
 1. API control
 Ideal for organizations that want comprehensive coverage to enhance visibility into threats and data stored on the cloud.
 2. Reverse proxy
 Ideal for organizations that want to allow access to devices that are located outside the network security perimeter.
 3. Forward proxy
 Ideal for organizations that want to boost their endpoint protection while managing a remote workforce.
CASB Use Cases
Here are three CASB use cases that can help you build to improve your network security
Governing usage
CASBs are known for their efficiency in detecting shadow IT behaviours and enhancing security across the organization. You can use CASB to govern how your employees use the organization's cloud resources through granular visibility and control. CASB also allows organizations to govern cloud usage by evaluating identities, services, activities, and applications.
You can also define policies according to service category or risk by defining enforcement actions like block, alert, encrypt, or quarantine. CASB makes it easier for your IT team to improve their internal monitoring and take action against users that do not follow security policies.
Securing data
CASB makes it easier to protect and prevent sensitive data loss across your organization's cloud services. You can use DLP policies to discover sensitive data on sanctioned or unsanctioned cloud services. You can use CASB to combat data loss through encryption, tokenization, or upload prevention.
Protecting yourself
You can use CASB to safeguard your organization's cloud against various threats like malware or ransomware. You can start setting up SSL-encrypted connections; you can use anomaly detection to detect unusual user behaviour on the cloud, while threat intelligence will help you detect compromised or at-risk accounts.
CASB also layers static and dynamic anti-malware detection algorithms combined with machine learning to detect and mitigate the risks of ransomware. Additionally, you can use the information generated by a CASB solution to improve your security infrastructure through numerous API integrations and workflows.
Conclusion
Organizations need stringent security policies to protect their data from malware and ransomware as they increase their remote working capabilities. The most effective approach is to deploy a CASB solution to improve the enforceability of your security policies on the cloud while monitoring the users to detect unusual behaviour.

Developer Evangelist
What Does Developer Evangelist Mean?
A developer evangelist is a specific role within a company's engineering team that is focused on bridging internal and external communications. The developer evangelist typically maintains a presence as an "ambassador" for the company, interacting with the outside world through social media and in person.
A developer evangelist is also known as a technology evangelist, technical evangelist or technology advocate.
Techopedia Explains Developer Evangelist
A developer evangelist is typically a skilled developer, but does not actually spend most of his or her time writing code. Instead, the developer evangelist is essentially going out into the community to spread the news about what his or her company is doing, build relationships, and participate in a kind of "developer ecosystem." Part of this job would often entail communicating with both corporate developers, and those working on open-source technologies who are unconnected to a proprietary license product and brand.
The developer evangelist job is heavy on communications. In posting a job opening for this particular role, a Microsoft post defines the developer evangelist's mission as "to secure platform adoption and revenue growth through evangelism, community engagement, relationship marketing and a vibrant solutions ecosystem."
Experts point out that developer evangelists need both technical and communication skills, a passion for technology, and ways to articulate technical concepts to diverse audiences.

Framework for scalable DeepLabCut based analysis including 3D tracking
Project description
Anipose is a framework for scalable DeepLabCut-based analysis. It supports both 2d and 3d tracking, handles calibration and processing all files within a group of folders.
The name Anipose comes from Animal Pose, but it also sounds like "any pose".
(NOTE: This is not yet ready for production, still some issues to fix to make the experience smooth )
Getting started
 1. Setup DeepLabCut by following instruction here
 2. Install Anipose through pip: pip install anipose
Input specification
Ideally someone who is collecting data should just be able to put all the videos into a single folder during a data collection run.
Different data collection sessions (e.g. on different days) are usually placed into different folders.
We'll need a config file to specify what to use for tracking and post-processing. However, it's cumbersome to remember to put a new config file for each new session, especially if the config doesn't really change from session to session.
It would be nice to be able to place a separate config file into each session though, to override the experiment config as needed.
It would be extra nice to reprocess the data if any of the config parameters change.
layout of folder for videos for 2d tracking
layout of folder for videos for 3d tracking
Example config file for 2d/3d tracking:
# Project name
project = "flypose"
# Change this to match deeplabcut folder (one with trained network)
model_folder = '/Data/Videos/DLC_Analysis/Running-Brandon-2019-01-29'
# How many folders are nested in structure?
nesting = 1
# Settings for a threshold filter
# Removes data outside threshold (probably errors in tracking), and interpolates
enabled = true
medfilt = 13
offset_threshold = 25
score_threshold = 0.8
spline = true
# labeling scheme...specify lines that you want to draw
scheme = [ ["head", "thorax", "abdomen"], ["thorax", "leg-1"] ]
Output specification
The output structure should match the input structure, with additional files resulting from the tracking.
The structure should be as follows:
Where FOLDER is a folder storing the output of a specific processing step.
It can be one of the following values:
 - videos-raw = input videos
 - pose-2d = 2d tracking for each of the input videos
 - pose-2d-filtered = filtered version of 2d tracking
 - calibration = camera parameters obtained from 3d calibration, along with calibration videos
 - pose-3d = 3d tracking for each group of input videos
 - angles = computed angles from 3d tracking
 - videos-labeled = videos labeled with the 2d tracking
 - videos-3d = 3d videos generated from 3d tracking
 - config = computed configuration for each session
Outline of processing plan
For each experiment, for each session
 1. Compress the videos into videos-raw
 2. Place the configuration files into config (based on defaults and session config)
 3. Perform the 2d tracking based on the configuration
 4. Label the individual videos with 2d tracking
 5. If 3d tracking is enabled
 1. Perform camera calibration
 2. Perform triangulation of 2d tracking
 3. Compute angles, if needed
 4. Generate 3d videos
Using the pipeline in the field
Ideally, there should be one repository with all the code, and the data is held separate. Each data folder should come with a configuration file of its own. The user should be able to invoke some pipeline script to process everything, and separate pipeline scripts for each step.
Perhaps something like:
anipose calibrate # run calibration of intrinsics and extrinsics
anipose label # label the poses for each video
anipose label-videos # create videos for each pose
anipose run-data # run only the data portion (no viz)
anipose run-viz # run only the visualization pipeline
anipose run-all # run everything (run-data then run-viz)
The program anipose should parse out the config within the folder, and figure out all the appropriate parameters to pass to the functions underneath.
Computing angle estimates
Although it's very useful to get 3D tracking estimates, we also need angle estimates.
However, not all angles make sense, it is up to the user to specify which angles she cares about.
This may be specified in the config.toml file as follows:
L1_CF = ["L1A", "L1B", "L1C"]
L1_FTi = ["L1B", "L1C", "L1D"]
L1_TiTa = ["L1C", "L1D", "L1E"]
The key above is the [angles] header, which specifies that whatever follows is an angle.
Next, each angle is specified by a name on the left, and by a list of 3 joints on the right.
Summarizing the data
After computing the whole pipeline for all videos, the final outputs of interest (the 3d pose coordinates and angles, possibly the 2d coordinates) are scattered across a lot of folders.
For further processing and analysis, it is often useful to have one central file with all the data. Hence, Anipose provides the command "summarize", which summarizes everything into a "summaries" folder. The output csv for each of angles, 3d, and 2d tracking coordinates has all the data from all sessions, and a few extra columns to show where the data comes from.
Configuring the standardized 3D pose
In order to properly compare across different trials, different animals, and different setups, the 3D coordinates must be standardized relative to a common reference frame.
Anipose should allow configuration of this by specifying 2 sets of points to use as axes, and which axes these should be.
The algorithm to determine the axes is as follows:
 - the first axis is taken as given
 - the second axis is orthogonalized with respect to the first
 - the third axis is the cross product of the first two axes
An axis is specified as a pair of points, with the axis going from the first to the second point.
Furthermore, it is often useful to set the zero to a standard reference point. Anipose allows this too.
An example configuration:
axes = [
 ["x", "L1A", "L3A"],
 ["z", "L1B", "L1A"]
reference_point = "L1A"
Calibration marker configuration
Anipose uses ArUco markers for calibration. They are superior to checkerboards in that they are more robust to blurring, rotation, and cropping. This makes them ideal for calibrating arbitrary camera setups.
In order to configure this, it should be possible to specify which ArUco board was used to calibrate the cameras. What should be configurable:
 - The type of board (ArUco / ChArUco)
 - the size of the board (number squares in X and Y directions)
 - ArUco marker dictionary (number of bits and number of markers in dictionary)
 - Length of marker side in appropriate unit (triangulation is set to this unit)
 - Length of marker separation (for ArUco) or square side (for ChArUco), in same unit
# aruco / charuco
board_type = "aruco"
# width and height of grid
board_size = [2, 2]
# number of bits in the markers
board_marker_bits = 5
# number of markers in dictionary (less is best)
board_marker_dict_number = 50
# length of marker side
board_marker_length = 4 # mm
# If aruco, length of marker separation
board_marker_separation_length = 1 # mm
# If charuco, square side length
# board_square_side_length = 8 # mm
Calibration: how to actually calibrate
TODO: Document how to calibrate cameras
TODO: Document where to place the calibration folder and how this is processed
TODO: document how to specify ROIs

Change Management & First Deployment
Updated 1 year ago by Copado Solutions
Copado Change Management setup will let you achieve best practices in your release management process. With this setup you will be able to control your user stories and their metadata changes as they move through your environment landscape until they finally reach the production environment.
Setup Steps
 1. Create a new project and link it to your pipeline.
 2. Create a user story:
 - In the Project field, select your new project.
 - In the Environment field, select the source environment where you will develop the user story. This environment has to be present in your pipeline.
 - In the Org Credential field select the org credential that corresponds to the environment you have previously selected.
 - Click on Save.
 3. Commit files within the user story by clicking on Commit Changes. Select a couple of metadata components for testing purposes.
 4. Edit the user story and check the Ready to Promote checkbox or click on Submit:
 1. Create a promotion:
 - In the Project field select the project you have already created.
 - In the Source Environment field select the environment where you have been developing your user story. The source org credential and the destination environment and org credential will be populated based on the source environment selected.
 - Click on Save.
 - The user story should appear on the Selected User Stories section. Select it and click on Create Deployment.
 - A new deployment will appear in the Deployments related list. Click on it and you will be redirected to the Deployment detail page.
 2. In the Deployment detail page you will notice that there is a source org and a corresponding destination org (as defined in your pipeline).
 - Click on the Git Promotion step. A table will appear with the metadata components that were committed, which will be deployed to the destination org.
 3. Once the deployment is finished, check the following changes:
 - In the destination org you will find that the metadata components were successfully deployed.
 - In the repository branch linked to the destination org, you will see that the user story files were recently merged.
 - If you open the user story, you will notice the environment has changed from the original value to the destination environment. Now, this user story can be tested again in the new org, and whenever it is ready to be promoted to the next environment, just repeat the promotion process.

text: Abstract: We analyze the competitive capacity investment timing decisions of both established firms and start-ups entering new markets which are characterized by a high degree of demand uncertainty. Firms may invest in capacity early (when the market is highly uncertain) or late (when market uncertainty has been resolved), possibly at different costs. In our model, established firms choose investment timing and capacity level to maximize expected profits. Start-ups are prone to bankruptcy if profit turns out to be too low, and hence choose investment timing and capacity level to maximize the probability of survival. Surprisingly, we find that in monopoly situations, a start-up is more likely to prefer early investment than an established firm, despite the presence of demand uncertainty. In duopoly situations with one start-up and one established firm competing in the same market, we characterize the equilibria of a strategic capacity investment timing game in which firms choose when to build capacity. We find that when demand uncertainty is high and costs do not decline too severely over time, the unique equilibrium of this game is for the start-up to take a leadership role and invest first in capacity while the established firm follows; by contrast, when two established firms compete in an otherwise identical game, high demand uncertainty leads to both firms investing late. Thus, the threat of bankruptcy leads to an increase in sequential investment outcomes in which the start-up leads, a result that we demonstrate persists even if the start-up is concerned with both profit and bankruptcy risk or profit above the bankruptcy threshold. We conclude that the threat of firm failure significantly impacts the dynamics of competition involving start-ups.

Difference Between Sea and Lake
Sea Vs Lake
Almost anybody knows the difference between a lake and a sea. However, when asked about the true nature of other seas like the Caspian Sea, people will already have second thoughts. Yes, the confusion sets in when identifying some bodies of water which are called seas but are actually lakes. An example of which is the very popular Dead Sea which happens to be the lowest level lake in the world, not to mention one of the saltiest there is. So how come the Dead Sea is a lake and not a sea?
First, a lake is an inland water body. This means that it is surrounded by land. The body of water is usually moderate to big in size with the water surface being exposed towards the atmosphere. Thus, most lakes in the world have a surface area of below 100 sq. mi. although there are dozens of other lakes that even spans to more than 1,500 sq. mi. in area. With regard to depth, the majority of lakes are shallower than the seas.
As mentioned, the confusion sets in because there are some lakes that are named as seas. Aside from the Dead Sea, the Caspian Sea is another lake that is called sea. It is treated by many as a sea because of its size. This lake is so huge that from whatever angle you'll try to look at, it would seem as if you're looking at a long stretch of shore. This is because the Caspian Sea is the biggest or largest lake in the world. It is bordered by several countries including Iran and Southern Russia. Another lake that is called a sea is the Aral Sea.
On the contrary, seas are different from lakes because they are not enclosed by land. They have a relatively bigger volume of water and are usually connected to the wide open ocean. Seas are undoubtedly deeper as compared to lakes. It is a continuous stretch of salt water. There's an exemption to this definition however because a sea can also be a landlocked (like a lake) immense body of saline (salty) water which doesn't have an outlet towards an ocean. This definition can best be applied to the case of the Caspian Sea.
Lakes are shallower than the seas
Lakes are enclosed by a body of land.
With regard to the volume of water, lakes can be small, moderate to big in size whereas seas are often always a lot bigger in size.
Lakes can either be salt water or fresh water while seas are always salt water in nature.

I have to build a street network with PostGIS that will be used with pgRouting.
I have two tables:
 1. the_network (182 lines): is a MULTILINESTRING table. Having columns "road_name" (varchar), "road_length" (numeric)
 2. buildings (104 lines): is a POINT table. Having "building_id" (integer)
The following code creates lines between buildings and the network. The 104 created lines are stored in "buildings_to_network_lines_table" which is GEOMETRY type.
SELECT ST_ShortestLine(a.geom, ST_Collect(b.geom)) AS geom,
 ST_Distance(a.geom, ST_Collect(b.geom)) AS shape_length INTO buildings_to_network_lines_table
FROM buildings a, the_network b
WHERE ST_Dwithin(a.geom, b.geom, 1000)
GROUP BY by a.gid, a.geom;
How to create a new table containing the black lines (the_network) and the red lines (buildings_to_network_lines_table)
Then I just want to create one table named the_network_full that contains all the lines of the_network and buildings_to_network_lines_table tables. I've tried to achieve this by a ST_UNION() function:
SELECT ST_Union(a.geom, b.geom) AS the_network_full
FROM the_network a, buildings_to_network_lines_table b;
xample
The results look good but unfortunately the resulting "the_network_full" table (type GEOMETRY) contains 18'928 lines (182*104) instead of 182+104=286 lines.
How can I merge these two tables into a new one?
 - Did you want a geometrical union? Seems like you want the union of tables: SELECT geom AS the_network_full FROM the_network UNION SELECT geom AS the_network_full FROM buildings_to_network_lines_table; – César Argul García Apr 9 '14 at 12:14
3
You implicitly CROSS JOINed the tables so you got a cartesian product. Since you don't want to merge the geometries together you should use the UNION ALL which is an entirely different construct:
SELECT a.geom
FROM the_network a
UNION ALL
SELECT b.geom
FROM buildings_to_network_lines_table b
Now that you have a correct SELECT query you can use it in INSERT ... SELECT to put the data in new table.

Take the 2-minute tour ×
At the behest of Gerhard Paseman I'll describe the problem that I alluded to in name for a partial order.
Let $M = M(\infty)$ denote the set of all finite subsets of the positive integers $\mathbb{N}$. As I mentioned in my other question, $M$ has a partial order defined as follows: If $S \in M$ and $i \ge 1$ is an integer, denote by $S_i$ the $i$-th largest element of $S$. We say that $S \ge_R T$ if $|S| \ge |T|$ and $S_i \ge T_i$ for $i = 1, \dots, |T|$. For any finite subset $A \subset M$ define the polynomial $$ f_A(t) := \sum_{S \in A} \sum_{T \in A} t^{|S \Delta T|},$$
where $S \Delta T$ denotes the symmetric difference. If $ p \in (0,1)$ say that a finite subset $A \subset M$ is optimal at $p$ if $f_A(p) \ge f_B(p)$ for all subsets $B \subset M$ with $|B| = |A|$. Say that $A$ is optimal, if there is some $p \in (0,1)$ for which $A$ is optimal at $p$. Say that $A$ is isomorphic to $B$ if there is a permutation $\pi \in S_{\infty}$ (permutations of $\mathbb{N}$ which only move a finite set of elements) and a subset $T \in M$ such that $B = \{ \pi(S) \Delta T : S \in A \}$. It's easy to see that if $A$ is isomorphic to $B$ then $f_A(t) = f_B(t)$.
Another way of thinking of $M$ is to consider it to be infinite sequences of 0's and 1's with only a finite number of 1's (i.e. infinite bit-strings). Then cardinality becomes Hamming weight and symmetric difference becomes exclusive or. Isomorphic sets of bit-strings would be obtained from one another by permuting coordinates (every bit string in the set gets permuted in the same way), and then xoring everything with a common bit-string.
In (Gordon, Miller, Ostapenko) we proved that if $A$ is optimal then it is isomorphic to an order ideal for the order $\le_R$. For a fixed value $N$ for $|A|$ we were then able to make a search for all order ideals of size $N$, and then determine the optimal ones (for some $p$) among those. We were able to do this by looking at the subposet of $M$ of elements $S \in M$ such that $|\{ T : T \le_R S \}| \le N$. In particular we were interested in optimal sets whose cardinality is a power of 2. The search for cardinality 64 took about 1/2 hour. Unless we have a new idea the search for $N=128$ is out of the question. For $N=64$ there are _PHONE_ order ideals of cardinality 64, but less than 100 of them are optimal. Thus I was hoping that if there are theorems around about the structure of the order ideals of $M(\infty)$ that that might help us to make a more efficient search. In the previous question, Richard Stanley pointed out that the partial order that I was using had been studied before in one of his papers.

Thank you for showing this problem. I assume in the definition of A isomorphic to B you want B= instead of A=. Also, I apologize for an earlier error. The partial order I and Libor Polak used involved multisets, not sets, of the positive integers. I shall contemplate upon this problem. Gerhard "Ask Me About System Design" Paseman, 2011.08.11 – Gerhard Paseman Aug 11 '11 at 19:03
Also, it is easy for me to get confused. A in M suggests that A is a set of numbers. A finite set A from M is a finite subset of M. By a finite set A in M I am guessing you mean the latter, but I would expect A subset M instead of what you have, which is A in M. Can I consider it a typo, and mentally substitue the subset symbol for the member of symbol in those places to get your meaning? Gerhard "Ask Me About System Design" Paseman, 2011.08.11 – Gerhard Paseman Aug 11 '11 at 19:11
_USER_: I fixed the typos (I think that I got all of them). One other thing: you can also define a different partial order on subsets of M: Say that $A \ge_D B$ if $f_A(t) \ge f_B(t)$ for all $t \in (0,1)$ (the $D$ is for dominates). It's necessary (but not sufficient) for $A$ to be maximal in this partial order (at least restricted to sets of cardinality $|A|$) in order for it to be optimal. I found empirically that almost all of the maximal sets for $N=64$ were optimal. – Victor Miller Aug 11 '11 at 22:36

Interacting with Emotional Clients: The Importance of Empathy in Private Investigation
By PInow Staff
PInow Facebook
Sometimes, the cases you take on as a private investigator are emotionally intense for those involved. It is likely that private investigators will often interact with distraught clients. While it is not one of the most glamorous parts of the job, how you interact with these distressed clients is an important part of your role as a private investigator. Below are a couple of reasons why treating your emotional clients with empathy is important and some tips to help you maintain compassion as you interact with your clients.
Why it's Important
The dictionary definition of empathy is "the ability to understand and share the feelings of another." While you may not have experienced what your client is going through, taking the time to understand their perspective is not only respectful as a human being but also an important part of running your business effectively. Clients are more likely to return in the future when they feel the investigator handled their case with the utmost care and integrity. They are also more likely to divulge sensitive information that helps the case if they feel you are trustworthy. Handling cases with empathy can also be good for you, as an investigator. You will be …read more

How to Help a Ghost Pass Over
How to Help a Ghost Pass Over
May 27, 2021 Ghost Hunting Our Blog 0
In general, ghosts will move on when their purpose is fulfilled. But sometimes a ghost needs specific help to move on and this can be provided by a witch.
There are different ways you can help a ghost pass over: gathering personal objects, performing an Ascension ceremony, or calling in the assistance of an experienced witch.
A witch will perform a ritual to call in the spirit of the ghost. The purpose of the ritual is to draw the spirit back into its body by using personal objects, and then to find out what it wants and needs from you. For example, if the ghost's greatest need is forgiveness, the witch will organize a church service and perform a ceremony while asking God for forgiveness on behalf of the ghost so that it may move on. If no church is available at that time, then a prayer in your home can also be performed in order to ask for forgiveness.
If the ghost needs to pass on more quickly, then a ceremony can be performed to help the ghost ascend. In this ceremony, you will be guided in creating an energy vortex in your home that can help the ghost move on.
The following is one of many ways to perform a ritual to call in the spirit of the ghost. You may also find additional rituals online or create your own based on your need:
1) Find out when the ghost was born and what his/her birth number is (day, month, year). You may search for his or her information through an online genealogy site. For example, and genealogy records are some of the most useful resources to find your family history.
2) Find out about the type of person or animal that this ghost was. For example, if the ghost is a bird, then you will need to find out what type of bird it was so that you can use that knowledge in your ritual.
3) Collect everything from the person's life and store them in a satchel for use during the ceremony. You should have at least one item from each phase of his/her life such as: his/her childhood picture books or toys; toys from ages 1 to 7; high school yearbooks; college yearbooks; graduation gifts etc.. You can also use photos of the person. A satchel is a small cloth bag that will help you to carry all of the objects and pictures.
4) Make a list of images, objects, or any other personal information that the ghost may need to pass over. It could be something as simple as leftover perfumes or toiletries that had been used during life time by the ghost. It could also be a specific object such as a ring, watch, or necklace that was very important to the person during life time.
5) Connect with the ghost on an emotional level and give it your understanding about its purpose in your life.
6) Tell the ghost that you will help it pass over. You may want to include in your ritual a letter of forgiveness from the family for any wrongdoing that took place during life time. Your desire to help also needs to be conveyed to the ghost. Use a pen and paper so that you can personally write down your wishes. Leave the paper where you think the ghost can see it.
7) Decide when and where you will do your ritual. In order for it to be successful, you will need a secluded area with no interruptions or distractions so that no one can hear what is being said during the ceremony or how long it may take.
When you start your ritual, you will need to first find a quiet spot and then you can go about looking for the ghost. Use an object that belonged to the ghost such as a perfume or watch and ask it to come around.
1) Set up an altar with photos of the person or animal that is being called back, any objects that he/she had during life time such as his/her childhood toys, a picture of him/her when he/she was young etc.. If you don't have a picture of the person, use pictures of his favorite movie star or a character from his favorite book.
2) Next, light your candles and incense. The incense is used to help center you and the candles are used to represent the energy that will be focused in your home during the ceremony.
3) Place on the altar other objects such as a rose or a flower that represents love. Give these gifts to the ghost of its lover or family member who have passed on in order to help convince it that you will accept him/her back into your life.
4) Any personal items collected from his/her life can also be placed on the altar such as his favorite stuffed animal or something else that he loved so much during his life time. 5) You can also include a picture of his/her family and friends so that he/she knows that they are still around him. These pictures will help to convince the ghost that he is not alone and that his loved ones miss him.
5) By placing all these items on the altar, you are opening up your heart to the ghost and connecting with it in a way that you want to help it move on to its next journey.
6) In order for this ritual to be successful, you need to stay vigilant during your ceremony. You may want to start off with a short period of meditation where you clear your mind of any other concerns or distractions in order for you focus on the ritual. You can also use written meditation that help to guide the energy to focus solely on the ceremony. After, you can break off for a short period of time to gather your thoughts and then continue with the ritual as shown in the following pictures.
7) Using your sacred objects such as photos, objects and papers, get down on your knees so that you are in a position where you are facing the altar and not anyone else present. Start out by taking a couple of deep breaths in an effort to center yourself.
8) Now that you are in a position to do your ritual, you will want to verbally call out the ghost and ask it to come back into your life.
9) Start off by stating what you want from the ghost.
10) Most importantly, tell him/her that when he/she is finished visiting with you, he must return back to where he came from.
11) Now that you have given the ghost an order, there is no reason to stop, so keep at it until the ritual is complete.

AngularJS Question
How to handle / prevent browser navigation or reload in angularjs?
I would like to detect in my angular app when a user is navigating away from or reloading a page.
App (that uses some login process) should then distinguish that it was re-loaded, so user won't lose his auth data and app should be able to restore then necessary information from localStorage.
Please suggest some best techniques to "handle" browser reloading / navigation.
Answer
All of your javascript and in memory variables disappear on reload. In js, you know the page was reloaded when the code is running again for the first time.
To handle the reload itself (which includes hitting F5) and to take action before it reloads or even cancel, use 'beforeunload' event.
var windowElement = angular.element($window);
windowElement.on('beforeunload', function (event) {
 // do whatever you want in here before the page unloads.
 // the following line of code will prevent reload or navigating away.
 event.preventDefault();
});

When the lizard goes blind, it looks to the rising sun
When the lizard goes blind, it goes to an opening in a wall that faces east, looks to the rising sun, and receives light.
|Sources (chronological order)|
Isidore of Seville [7th century CE] (Etymologies, Book 12, 4:34, 37): The lizard (lacertus) is so called because it has arms. As it ages it goes blind; as a cure it goes to an opening in a wall that faces east and looks at the sun, and gets light.
