The document discusses work-life balance and its importance. It defines work-life balance as the perfect integration between work and life without interference. Poor work-life balance can lead to stress, physical problems, relational problems, decreased performance, and disturbed families. Achieving work-life balance requires planning work, providing flexibility, effective communication, organizational culture, stress management, and time management. Both organizations and employees must work together to develop strategies to help attain work-life balance.

Cybercriminal in Brazil shares mobile credit card store app
RSA agents recently traced a threat actor advertising a mobile credit card store application. The cybercriminal shared the information on his Facebook page, including
methods for using the app and links for downloading it. Besides the obvious purpose of selling compromised credentials, launching the application on a mobile device also prompts requests for user permissions, which can give the application the kind of control over the device that is usually associated with malicious malware applications
Countering Cyber Threats By Monitoring “Normal” Website BehaviorEMC
Have you considered using big data to protect against cyber threats? Savvy CSOs are doing just that-leveraging hoards of web traffic data to model normal online behavior and then use that insight to counter attempts at business-logic abuse. Check out this informative technology dossier to explore the ins and outs of using big data analysis and web-user profiling to protect your company against cyber threats.
This document proposes a novel method for medical image denoising that combines contourlet thresholding, bilateral filtering, and non-local means filtering. Specifically, it introduces scaling factors to the universal threshold for wavelet and contourlet transforms. It then uses the contourlet-based thresholding as a pre-processing step before bilateral or non-local means filtering for denoising. Simulation results show the combined approach achieves better PSNR and perceptual quality than using bilateral or non-local means filtering alone.

White paper holistic_approach_to_government_continuity_of_operations_apr2014EMC
This document discusses the need for government agencies to take a holistic, automated approach to continuity of operations (COOP) planning given the diverse and changing threat landscape. It recommends that agencies develop comprehensive COOP plans that incorporate governance, risk management, compliance and address physical, cyber and operational threats. The plans should be maintained in a centralized tool to ensure they are up-to-date, integrated and accessible across all relevant parties.
For users of Hadoop, MapReduce is a new territory. MapReduce design patterns are all about documenting the knowledge and lessons learned of the seasoned Hadoop developer so that new developers can leverage the experts’ experience in solving problems. This talk outlines a few of the most popular patterns and give an verview of the rest.
Objective 1: Understand what kinds of problems are solvable by Hadoop and MapReduce.
After this session you will be able to:
Objective 2: Understand why Hadoop engineers need to know what MapReduce Design Patterns are and what they are useful for day-to-day.
Objective 3: Begin to understand how to summarize, reorganize, and search through your data with Hadoop and MapReduce

BENIN, 25 – 28 April 2016 National Broadband PlansRene Summer
The document discusses benchmarking national broadband plans (NBBP) in 15 countries. It analyzes the scope, targets, implementation, and tracking of NBBPs. The scope section compares the breadth and depth of countries' broadband goals, including supply-side infrastructure targets and demand-side adoption targets across sectors like education and health. The targets section evaluates countries' goals for connectivity, noting variability in defining demand-side targets. Implementation approaches range from centralized masterplans to separate sectoral plans, with varying levels of government and private sector involvement.

This document presents various Egyptian gods and goddesses represented through hieroglyphs, including Hermione, Jasmine, Nut, Ra, Bast the cat goddess, Anbis the god of the afterlife, and Konsonu the moon god. It provides some background information on Ra as the sun god who brought light each day on his sun boat, and on Konsonu who said he didn't care if the serpent Apophis swallowed Ra since the moon would remain. The document is inspired by Rick Riordan and the author's mother.
This document provides information about the end of World War 1 and the Treaty of Versailles through a series of passages and images:
1) US troops provided fresh reinforcements for the Allied forces in 1918, helping them break through German lines during the decisive "Hundred Days Offensive." An armistice ended the war on November 11, 1918.
2) World leaders from the US, France, Britain, and Italy met secretly at the Palace of Versailles in 1919 to negotiate a peace treaty. The Treaty of Versailles placed blame on Germany, took territory, and imposed heavy reparations. It also created the League of Nations.
3) The treaty negatively impacted Germany by stripping it of land and imposing a large
The document discusses various aspects of aging including biological, psychological, and social factors. Biologically, aging is characterized by gradual decline in functioning of body systems due to factors like cellular damage and reduced organ function. Psychologically, late adulthood involves developmental tasks like accepting loss and retirement while maintaining interests. Socially, aging can involve changes like loss of social connections, discrimination against older adults, and economic and living situation adjustments. Maintaining well-being involves addressing reversible causes of mental health issues and continuing social engagement for older adults.
Banking game 2 borrowers 1 bank closed economyTravis Klein
The document discusses questions one would ask a friend before lending them $50. It includes 4 potential questions:
1) Who is borrowing the money?
2) What is the money for?
3) When will it be paid back?
4) What is their plan to repay the loan?
The document then transitions to discussing the loanable funds market and related economic concepts such as interest rates, demanders and suppliers of loanable funds, credit worthiness, and accounting principles for assets and liabilities.
This document contains a variety of questions and information about the Scientific Revolution in the 1600s including:
1) It discusses Descartes' view that the only thing we can prove is our own existence.
2) It provides information about the geocentric and heliocentric models of the solar system and names key figures like Copernicus, Galileo and Kepler who advanced the heliocentric theory.
3) It discusses the Catholic Church's condemnation in 1616 of the ideas that the sun is the center of the world and that the earth moves, based on their view that these ideas contradicted scripture.

The document discusses the solution of the generalized eigenvalue problem Kφ = λMφ to determine the natural frequencies and mode shapes of vibrating structures. It describes how the problem leads to an eigenvalue problem and explains the concept of multiple eigenvalues. It then covers the inverse iteration method, which iteratively solves the eigenvalue problem to converge the eigenvectors corresponding to the lowest eigenvalues. The method requires choosing starting vectors orthogonal to previously determined eigenvectors. Finally, it states that the inverse iteration is often used as part of more complex subspace iteration methods for solving large problems.
This document discusses the history and evolution of industrial hygiene and safety. It begins by outlining some of the earliest references to occupational health from 400 BC by Hippocrates and the first respiratory protective equipment in the 1st century AD. It then covers the establishment of occupational health and safety laws in the US in 1970. Finally, it discusses some of the benefits of industrial hygiene and safety such as reduced costs and improved worker productivity and quality of life, as well as the negative impacts of poor occupational health and safety such as accidents, costs of injuries, and reduced worker development.
