Life seems full of ever-increasing invisible work and unpaid labour, for instance, paying bills, making appointments, signing forms, or organising carpools. Columbia Law School professor Elizabeth Emens calls this work "life admin." It's the kind of work that managers and secretaries get paid to do in an office, but we all do invisibly and for free. However, we can take control of these tasks.

The homework of adulthood

Recognise that these are important tasks and deserve your attention. Find your own administrative personality to find a strategy that will work for you.Admin temperaments consist of four groups:<ol><li>The super-doer: You prioritise getting things done.</li><li>The reluctant-doer: You finally get things done but do so with a sigh.</li><li>The admin-avoider: You know you have to do stuff, but don't do it.</li><li>The admin-denier: You don't care if you don't do things because someone else will possibly do it for you.</li></ol>

Make it visible, understand your administrative personality

<ul><li>Do you reach for high- or low-tech management systems?</li><li>Do you prefer short sprints or a marathon to solve admin problems?</li></ul> The one you will show up for the task is the way you should go. It will make the job less unpleasant.

Understand how you prefer to work

Since we all have these tasks to manage, we can make it social. Invite a group to come over with paperwork they had been avoiding. Add something to snack on and make it more memorable.

Find a buddy and work together

Life seems full of ever-increasing piles of paperwork — bills to pay, appointments to make, forms to sign, carpools to organize. Here's how to conquer the responsibilities on your to-do list so you can get back to your life.

How to manage the homework of adulthood, from paperwork to repairs

Bullying is a sustained pattern of aggression by a person with more power, targeting someone with less power. The key  is that it’s repeated behaviour. But beneath this simple definition lies a complex, multilayered situation that can be exceptionally tricky to unpack. What is the power, and where does it come from? With children, it’s often that they have more social status, or have been led to believe they do.

Bullying In Youngsters

Bullying is always about more than what’s going on with two people: the bully and the target. What about the  “wingmen”, the bully’s supporters, the kids who think the bully is the bee’s knees and want to stay in their favour? What’s happening with the kids watching silently – the bystanders? Who is seeing what’s happening, when it all starts to kick off, and getting out fast? Who’s calling out the injustice? To understand bullying, you have to see the whole picture.Bullying is about absolutely everyone; even the bystanders – those who do or say nothing when bullying is taking place.

Bullying Is About More Than Just Two People

Not to speak is to speak; not to act is to act.

Pay attention to your child, so you can work out what their vulnerabilities are. You know your child better than anyone: what are their emotional needs? Do they need love and belonging, or crave power, status and recognition from others? The first of these could be a passive, gentle child who might be more vulnerable to bullying, or to being recruited by a bully to be one of their supporters.

What Parents Can Do

If your child needs power and recognition – and that’s a great cocktail for success in many sectors – it can easily trigger bullying behaviour, and as a parent, you need to be aware of that, and active in how you manage it.If you can nurture a sense of kindness in that child, help them understand how others are feeling, you’ll be combatting their bullying tendencies. Every child, every human being, has their flaws. it’s relatively easy to help a primary-school-age child out of being a bully. They’re primed to be told how to behave, and they can learn to be different.

What Your Kid Needs

Sometimes you come across a family where everyone is a bully: the parents, the older siblings, who bully the younger kids, and the younger kids, who bully others at school. These families are very difficult to help, but they’re also quite rare. What’s much more common is individualistic behaviour by parents that could set their child up to be a bully.

A Bully Family

Kids with a supercilious presumption that they’re better than others can get into the bullying mindset.Make sure your child isn’t that child: the idea that your offspring is inherently smarter, better looking and more skilled across the board, is, in fact, a facet of your own dark side – and transmitting it to your child will lead to big problems.

The Kind Of Kids That May Become Bullies

The truth about tricky people is this: they’re all around, and they’ll continue to be all around, right through your life. One of the biggest gifts a parent can give their child,  is the skills to handle tricky people. It’s not about being big; it’s about being clever.It’s about your strategy, it’s about how you deal with these people. If you teach your kid that some people are pure evil, and will beat you, it’s not empowering. But if you teach them to recognise the tricky person, to be wary, to work things out around them: that’s empowering. You’ve taught them something massive.

Tricky People

The upstanders are the ones that weigh in. They’re wired to weigh in – even when it’s nothing to do with them. To some, they can be really annoying people, actually.But upstanders deflate the bully or bullies and the important thing to realise, and to make sure your child realises, is that it can be a very subtle role. It's a good idea to embrace the role of the upstander – in schools in particular, nurturing an upstanding culture would make a huge difference.

The Upstanders

Bullying in the digital age is the same as the old but there are important differences. First, the digital world has created a much quicker path to the dehumanisation of the target – and dehumanisation is the horror we are trying to avoid.It’s very hard to bring a child back from being dehumanised. If you feel it’s happening to your child in any setting, and if the school or authorities aren’t working with you urgently to tackle it, you need to get the child out quick.

The Digital Age And Bullying

Bullying is unpleasant, but it happens; and working out what’s going on, and going deeper into our own roles and our children’s roles, is a character-enhancing exercise. Whether your child is the bully or the target, the bystander or the wingman, they can learn from it, and they can come through. Being on the receiving end of bullying is a traumatic situation, and like all trauma, you can come out of it stronger, especially if you have good support. It can make a bigger person of an individual. It can give them a view of the human condition that they didn’t have.

The Bottom Line

Arm your kids with the right tools, and you’ll empower them against bullies – and stop them becoming one themselves

A bedtime routine is a set of activities you perform in the same order, every night, in the 30 to 60 minutes before you go to bed. Bedtime routines can vary, but often include calming activities like taking a warm bath, reading, journaling, or meditation.

What Is a Bedtime Routine?

Humans are <a href="https://www.sleepfoundation.org/sleep-hygiene/bedtime-routine-for-adults">creatures of habit2 </a> . Like other routines, bedtime routines help our brains recognize when it’s time to sleep. By performing the same activities in the same order every night, your brain will see those activities as a precursor to sleep.The importance of bedtime routines stems back as far as childhood. <a href="https://www.sleepfoundation.org/children-and-sleep/bedtime-routine">Bedtime routines help children </a>connect with their natural circadian rhythms and practice healthy habits that promote good sleep. Bedtime routines have been found to have <a href="https://www.sleepfoundation.org/sleep-hygiene/bedtime-routine-for-adults">profound positive impacts6 </a> in other areas of children’s lives, eg. better memory, mental health, and attention.

Why Are Bedtime Routines Important?

Skin health beauty, general health, and mental clarity. Getting enough sleep is like being sober.

Volume ray casting, sometimes called volumetric ray casting, volumetric ray tracing, or volume ray marching, is an <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image_order">image-based</a> <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Volume_rendering">volume rendering technique</a>. It computes 2D images from 3D volumetric data sets (3D <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scalar_field">scalar fields</a>). Volume ray casting, which processes volume data, must not be mistaken with <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ray_casting">ray casting</a> in the sense used in <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ray_tracing_(graphics)">ray tracing</a>, which processes surface data. In the volumetric variant, the computation doesn't stop at the surface but "pushes through" the object, sampling the object along the ray.

Volume Ray Casting

Unlike ray tracing, volume ray casting does not spawn secondary rays. When the context/application is clear, some authors simply call it ray casting. Because raymarching does not necessarily require an exact solution to ray intersection and collisions, it is suitable for <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Real_time_computing">real time computing</a> for many applications for which ray tracing is unsuitable.

Real Time Computing

The technique of volume ray casting can be derived directly from the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rendering_equation">rendering equation</a>. It provides results of very high quality rendering. Volume ray casting is classified as an image-based volume rendering technique, as the computation emanates from the output image and not the input volume data, as is the case with object-based techniques.

Rendering Equation

<ol><li>Ray casting. For each pixel of the final image, a ray of sight is shot ("cast") through the volume. At this stage it is useful to consider the volume being touched and enclosed within a bounding primitive, a simple geometric object — usually a cuboid — that is used to intersect the ray of sight and the volume.</li></ol>

First - Ray Casting

2.Sampling. Along the part of the ray of sight that lies within the volume, equidistant sampling points or samples are selected. In general, the volume is not aligned with the ray of sight, and sampling points will usually be located in between voxels. Because of that, it is necessary to interpolate the values of the samples from its surrounding voxels (commonly using trilinear interpolation).

Second - Sampling

3.Shading. For each sampling point, a transfer function retrieves an RGBA material colour and a gradient of illumination values is computed. The gradient represents the orientation of local surfaces within the volume. The samples are then shaded (i.e. coloured and lit) according to their surface orientation and the location of the light source in the scene.

Third - Shading

4.Compositing. After all sampling points have been shaded, they are composited along the ray of sight, resulting in the final colour value for the pixel that is currently being processed. The composition is derived directly from the rendering equation and is similar to blending acetate sheets on an overhead projector. It may work back-to-front, i.e. computation starts with the sample farthest from the viewer and ends with the one nearest to the viewer.

Fourth - Compositing

4b.This work flow direction ensures that masked parts of the volume do not affect the resulting pixel. The front-to-back order could be more computationally efficient since, the residual ray energy is getting down while ray travels away from camera; so, the contribution to the rendering integral is diminishing therefore more aggressive speed/quality compromise may be applied (increasing of distances between samples along ray is one of such speed/quality trade-offs).

Fourth - Work Flow

In SDF ray marching, or sphere tracing, an intersection point is approximated between the ray and a surface defined by a signed distance function (SDF). The SDF is evaluated for each iteration in order to be able take as large steps as possible without missing any part of the surface. A threshold is used to cancel further iteration when a point has reached that is close enough to the surface. This method is often used for 3D fractal rendering.As powerful gpu hardware became more widely available, this method was popularized by the PC Demo Scene and Inigo Quilez.

Ray Marching

When rendering screen space effects, such as screen space reflection (SSR) and screen space shadows, rays are traced using G-buffers, where depth and surface normal data is stored per each 2D pixel.

Screen Space Reflection

Software

Volume Ray casting is very important because it not only turns 3D into 2D, which is great to be able to Reconstruct, but it literally pushes through the object and lets you see everything. The ins and out, front and back. It solves the problem of not being able to render areas out of sight, and creates a pivotal point for Rendering capabilities, especially multi-spectral.

Selfishness vs Empathy (Solutions)

Targeted surveillance (or targeted interception ) is a form of surveillance , such as wiretapping , that is directed towards specific persons of interest, and is distinguishable from mass surveillance (or bulk interception). Both untargeted and targeted surveillance is routinely accused of treating innocent people as suspects in ways that are unfair, of violating human rights , international treaties and conventions as well as national laws, and of failing to pursue security effectively.

Targeted Surveillance 

<ul><li>Mass surveillance is also known as “passive” or “undirected” surveillance. [...] It is not targeted on any particular individual but gathers images and information for possible future use. CCTV and databases are examples of mass surveillance.</li><li>Targeted surveillance is surveillance directed at particular individuals and can involve the use of specific powers by authorised public agencies. Targeted surveillance can be carried out overtly or covertly, and can involve human agents. ---See Next</li></ul>

Passive or Undirected

Under the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Regulation_of_Investigatory_Powers_Act_2000">Regulation of Investigatory Powers Act 2000 </a>(RIPA), targeted covert surveillance is “directed” if it is carried out for a specific investigation or operation. By comparison, if it is carried out on designated premises or on a vehicle, it is “intrusive” surveillance. Targeting methods include the interception of communications, the use of communications “traffic” data, visual surveillance devices, and devices that sense movement, objects or persons.

The current approach of the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NSA">NSA </a>and its related organizations is attempting to collect all <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SIGINT">signals </a>of everybody at all times without any prior selection.<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Targeted_surveillance#cite_note-10"> </a> <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Targeted_surveillance#cite_note-11">[11] </a> So any current selection is only used for targets of special interest, human review or special resource allocation.Such selectors include searching the web for the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Privacy_software">privacy-enhancing software tools </a>such as <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tor_(anonymity_network)">Tor </a>.<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Targeted_surveillance#cite_note-13"> </a> A leaked document revealed that for the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XKeyscore">XKeyscore </a>program, using languages that are out of place for the region one is in, using encryption, and searching the web for 'suspicious stuff', were suggested as selectors.<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Targeted_surveillance#cite_note-16"> </a>

Collecting All Signals

Computer scientists at the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/University_of_Pennsylvania">University of Pennsylvania </a>have developed an algorithmic framework for conducting targeted surveillance of individuals within social networks while protecting the privacy of "untargeted" digital bystanders that "outputs a list of confirmed targeted individuals discovered in the network, for whom any subsequent action (e.g., publication in a most-wanted list, further surveillance, or arrest in the case of terrorism; medical treatment or quarantine in the case of epidemics) will not compromise the privacy of the protected".<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Targeted_surveillance#cite_note-47"> </a>

The Untargeted?

The crypto and security communities can make the Internet more secure by making population-wide surveillance technically or economically infeasible, understanding that modest amounts of targeted surveillance will always be technically and economically feasible.

Crypto Communities

This is what it is in a basic sense, but there obviously is much much more. Just tapping the surfaces here for a while.

How should we go about healthily investing in regret? Turns out, there’s a handy three-step process for doing exactly that. Let’s take a look

‘No regrets.’ You’ve heard people proclaim it as a philosophy of life. That’s nonsense, even dangerous, says Daniel H. Pink in his latest bold and inspiring work. Everybody has regrets. They’re a fundamental part of our lives. And if we reckon with them in fresh and imaginative ways, we can enlist our regrets to make smarter decisions, perform better at work and school, and deepen our sense of meaning and purpose. In The Power of Regret, Pink draws on research in psychology, neuroscience, economics and biology to challenge widely-held assumptions about emotions and behaviour. Using the largest sampling of attitudes about regret ever conducted from his own World Regret Survey – which has collected regrets from more than 16,000 people in 105 countries – he identifies the four core regrets that most people have. These four regrets, Pink argues, operate as a ‘photographic negative’ of the good life. By understanding what people regret the most, we can understand what they value the most. And by following the simple, science-based, three-step process that he sets out, we can transform our regrets in a positive force for working smarter and living better. With Pink’s signature blend of big ideas and practical takeaways, captivating stories and crisp humour, The Power of Regret offers an urgent and indispensable guide for a life well-lived.
