Balaban is a small turkish border village next to Kobane. Due to the Syrian conflict it has become a more and more dangerous place. People have left their homes and moved away from the border area. After the Islamic State started targeting Kobane thousands of kurdish inhabitants have became refugees. Nearly 700 ended up in Balaban far away from the big and safe refugee camps, and far away from any NGO¡¯s help. This book is made to give them a face.
Rapid prototyping front end libraries provide skeleton code for CSS, HTML, and JavaScript that developers can use for common UI elements in a project. Two popular options are Bootstrap and Foundation. Both provide a grid system, styles for forms, buttons, tables and other common patterns. They also include modal windows, image grids, drop down menus and other pre-built components. The main differences are that Bootstrap has a more polished, product-like appearance with transitions while Foundation provides a more raw foundation for customization and extension.
Open Source Telephone Systems Made Easy With Plivoclintonb11

The document discusses Plivo, a communication framework that simplifies the development of voice-based applications using existing web development skills. It addresses the limitations of traditional open-source telephony solutions like Asterisk and highlights Plivo's advantages such as control over the telephony stack, scalability, and ease of use. The presentation also covers features, installation, and the future prospects of Plivo's services.
This document discusses modern web application models. It notes that popular apps like Gmail and GitHub provide instant responses through asynchronous JavaScript and XML (Ajax) requests. However, default Rails applications do not natively support this and require additional Ajax code. The document then explains how these apps work by serving templates to render views client-side and returning JSON data in response to events. It suggests this could work similarly to an existing Rails app that uses JSON-driven communication. Finally, it asks if it is possible to move the view component of MVC to the client-side in a seamless way.
The document discusses CoffeeScript, a programming language that compiles to JavaScript. It was designed to have cleaner syntax than JavaScript and be easier to read and write. CoffeeScript code compiles directly to equivalent JavaScript code. Using CoffeeScript can help developers write less code that is more readable and maintainable while still being able to use existing JavaScript libraries. The document provides examples of CoffeeScript code and the equivalent JavaScript output. It also discusses how to use CoffeeScript with Ruby on Rails projects by adding the Barista gem.
The document discusses the Strengthening Families approach to child abuse prevention. It focuses on promoting protective factors in families rather than targeting families based on risk factors. The protective factors framework emphasizes parental resilience, social connections, knowledge of parenting and child development, concrete support in times of need, and children's social and emotional competence. The approach aims to strengthen all families through partnerships with organizations already serving families and by integrating the framework into existing systems and policies.
The 1981 policies of the French government under President Mitterrand included nationalizing banks and industry, increasing spending substantially, and implementing various social reforms like raising minimum wage and family allowances. This led to a tripling of the deficit and 50% increase in the national debt as well as high inflation that required currency devaluations in 1981-1983. French politics has traditionally been dominated by graduates of the elite ENA school and characterized by technocratic rule with reforms decided by a small group rather than power sharing.
This document discusses results-based public policy and provides an overview of its key principles and framework. Results-based public policy uses desired outcomes to drive government actions and starts by clearly defining the results wanted, understanding current progress, focusing on policies that work, ensuring success through accountability, and sustaining success through appropriate financing. The 5 questions that form the framework are: 1) What results do you want? 2) How are your kids? 3) What works? 4) How can you ensure success? 5) How can you sustain success? Examples of results and policies that work to achieve family economic success are also provided.
The document outlines the CSSP Child and Family Well-Being Framework. The framework aims to clearly link CSSP's work to achieving improved well-being for children, families, and communities. It defines well-being broadly and identifies population-level results and indicators in six areas: children's health; school readiness; youth success; family support, safety and economic security; and community resources. The framework also outlines factors that influence well-being like opportunities, risks and protections, and the capacities needed across communities, systems and policies to improve results.
This slide illustrates a side-by-side comparison between human-written, AI-written, and ambiguous content. It highlights subtle cues that help readers assess authenticity, raising essential questions about the future of communication, trust, and thought leadership in the age of generative AI.
Russia is one of the most aggressive nations when it comes to state coordinated cyberattacks?¡ª?and Ukraine has been at the center of their crosshairs for 3 years. This report, provided the State Service of Special Communications and Information Protection of Ukraine contains an incredible amount of cybersecurity insights, showcasing the coordinated aggressive cyberwarfare campaigns of Russia against Ukraine.
It brings to the forefront that understanding your adversary, especially an aggressive nation state, is important for cyber defense. Knowing their motivations, capabilities, and tactics becomes an advantage when allocating resources for maximum impact.
Intelligence shows Russia is on a cyber rampage, leveraging FSB, SVR, and GRU resources to professionally target Ukraine¡¯s critical infrastructures, military, and international diplomacy support efforts.
The number of total incidents against Ukraine, originating from Russia, has steadily increased from 1350 in 2021 to 4315 in 2024, but the number of actual critical incidents has been managed down from a high of 1048 in 2022 to a mere 59 in 2024?¡ª?showcasing how the rapid detection and response to cyberattacks has been impacted by Ukraine¡¯s improved cyber resilience.
Even against a much larger adversary, Ukraine is showcasing outstanding cybersecurity, enabled by strong strategies and sound tactics. There are lessons to learn for any enterprise that could potentially be targeted by aggressive nation states.
Definitely worth the read!

9-1-1 Addressing: End-to-End Automation Using FMESafe Software
?
This session will cover a common use case for local and state/provincial governments who create and/or maintain their 9-1-1 addressing data, particularly address points and road centerlines. In this session, you'll learn how FME has helped Shelby County 9-1-1 (TN) automate the 9-1-1 addressing process; including automatically assigning attributes from disparate sources, on-the-fly QAQC of said data, and reporting. The FME logic that this presentation will cover includes: Table joins using attributes and geometry, Looping in custom transformers, Working with lists and Change detection.
"Database isolation: how we deal with hundreds of direct connections to the d...Fwdays
?
What can go wrong if you allow each service to access the database directly? In a startup, this seems like a quick and easy solution, but as the system scales, problems appear that no one could have guessed.
In my talk, I'll share Solidgate's experience in transforming its architecture: from the chaos of direct connections to a service-based data access model. I will talk about the transition stages, bottlenecks, and how isolation affected infrastructure support. I will honestly show what worked and what didn't. In short, we will analyze the controversy of this talk.
Explore the ease of managing Firecracker microVM with the firecracker-python. In this session, I will introduce the basics of Firecracker microVM and demonstrate how this custom SDK facilitates microVM operations easily. We will delve into the design and development process behind the SDK, providing a behind-the-scenes look at its creation and features. While traditional Firecracker SDKs were primarily available in Go, this module brings a simplicity of Python to the table.
