The Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) program is a set-aside program of an agency's extramural budget for domestic small business concerns to engage in Research/Research and Development (R/R&D) that has the potential for commercialization. The SBIR Program was established under the Small Business Innovation Development Act of 1982 (P.L. 97-219), and reauthorized by the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) for Fiscal Year 2012 (H.R. 1540) signed into law on December 31, 2011 (Public Law 112-81). The SBIR Program (and its sister STTR Program) was reauthorized through September 30, 2017. Further details on overall SBIR program can be found at https://www.sbir.gov/about/about-sbir#sbir-program.
(Back to SBIR Program questions)
One of the major changes that resulted from the SBIR Reauthorization Act of 2011 was that small businesses owned in majority part by multiple venture capital operating companies, hedge funds, or private equity firms may be eligible for SBIR awards. SBA's regulations of 13 CFR part 121 sets forth the eligibility criteria for SBIR applicants that are owned in majority part by multiple venture capital operating companies, hedge funds, or private equity firms. Please note that SBIR agencies must submit a written determination (to the SBA, the Senate Committee on Small Business and Entrepreneurship, the House Committee on Small Business, and the House Committee on Science, Space, and Technology) at least 30 calendar days before it begins making awards to SBCs that are owned in majority part by multiple venture capital operating companies, hedge funds, or private equity firms. At the current time, DHS is considering this change. Currently, such firms are not eligible to submit proposals to the DHS S&T Directorate SBIR solicitations.
1) Not less than 2.5 percent of such budget in each of fiscal years 1997 through 2011;
2) Not less than 2.6 percent of such budget in fiscal year 2012;
3) Not less than 2.7% of such budget in fiscal year 2013;
6) Not less than 3.0% of such budget in fiscal year 2016; and
7) Not less than 3.2% of such budget in fiscal year 2017 and each fiscal year after.
The Small Business Administration maintains a site, SBIR.Gov, that provides information on a number of SBIR related topics. The Policy Directive can be found at https://www.sbir.gov/about/about-sbir#sbir-policy-directive.
The statutory purpose of the SBIR Program is to strengthen the role of innovative small business concerns (SBCs) in Federally-funded research or research and development (R/R&D). Specific program objectives are to:
use small business to meet Federal R/R&D needs;
foster and encourage participation by socially and economically disadvantaged small businesses (SDBs), and by women-owned small businesses (WOSBs), in technological innovation; and
increase private sector commercialization of innovations developed through Federal R/R&D, thereby increasing competition, productivity and economic growth.
The SBIR Program is a phased process, uniform throughout the Federal Government and is structured in three phases.
Phase I. The objective of Phase I is to: (1) determine, insofar as possible, the scientific and technical merit and feasibility of ideas that appear to have commercialization potential; and (2) determine the quality of performance of the small business awardee with a relatively small agency investment before providing further Federal support in Phase II. Although the award level for an SBIR Phase I project may not exceed $150,000 for total costs (direct costs, F&A costs, and negotiated fee) for a period normally not to exceed six months for SBIR, agencies must request a waiver from the Small Business Administration to exceed the award guideline by more than 50% for a specific topic. Please note that the DHS S&T Directorate's SBIR Program sets its Phase I award level at $100,000, unless otherwise noted. Only Phase I awardees are eligible to participate in Phases II and III.
Phase II. The objective of Phase II is to further develop work from Phase I that meets particular program needs and exhibits potential for commercial application. Although Phase II efforts typically result with built and tested prototypes, Phase II awards may not necessarily complete the total research and development that may be required to satisfy commercial or Federal needs beyond the SBIR Program. Although the award level for an SBIR Phase II project may not exceed $1,000,000 total costs (direct costs, F&A costs, and negotiated fee) for a period normally not to exceed two years, agencies must request a waiver from the Small Business Administration to exceed the award guideline by more than 50% for a specific topic. Please note that the DHS S&T Directorate's SBIR Program sets its Phase II award level at $750,000. Under certain conditions, an additional $250,000 may be made available.
Phase III. The objective of Phase III, is for the small business concern to pursue, with non-SBIR funds, the commercialization objectives resulting from the Phase I/II R/R&D activities. Phase III refers to work that derives from, extends, or completes an effort made under prior SBIR funding agreements. Phase III work is typically oriented towards commercialization of SBIR research or technology. In some Federal agencies, Phase III may involve follow-on non-SBIR funded R&D or production contracts for products, processes or services intended for use by the U.S. Government.
Federal agencies with extramural research and development budgets over $100 million are required to administer SBIR programs providing its annual set-aside to small companies to conduct innovative research or research and development (R/R&D) that have potential for commercialization and public benefit.
Currently, eleven Federal agencies participate in the SBIR program. See https://www.sbir.gov/about/about-sbir#sbir-participating-agencie for a listing of the Federal agencies participating in the SBIR Program.
To qualify for SBIR funding, businesses must meet certain eligibility criteria:
Type & Size of Firm
Be organized for-profit
Have not more than 500 employees, including affiliates
Ownership & Control
Be more than 50% directly owned and controlled by:
One or more individuals (who are citizens or permanent resident aliens of the U.S.),
other business concerns (each of which is more than 50% directly owned and controlled by individuals who are citizens or permanent resident aliens of the U.S.),
or any combination of these;
Be more than 50% owned by multiple venture capital operating companies, hedge funds, private equity firms, or any combination of these (for agencies electing to use the authority in 15 U.S.C.638(dd)(1)) (The DHS S&T SBIR Program does not elect to use this authority.)
Be a joint venture in which each entity to the joint venture meets the requirements in either of the cases above
Principal Investigator's primary employment must be with the small business at the time of award and during the project duration
A minimum of two-thirds of the Phase I work and one-half of the Phase II work must be performed by the proposing firm (i.e., the small business concern); and
All work must be performed within the United States.
No. Agencies must request a waiver from the Small Business Administration to exceed the award guideline by more than 50% for a specific topic. Please note that the DHS S&T SBIR Program limits its Phase I awards to $100,000 (unless a different amount is specified in the solicitation).
No. Agencies must request a waiver from the Small Business Administration to exceed the award guideline by more than 50% for a specific topic. Please note that the DHS S&T SBIR Program limits its Phase II awards to $750,000. Under certain conditions, an additional $250,000 may be made available.
The DHS S&T SBIR Program has a Cost Match feature for Phase II SBIR projects that attract matching cash from an outside investor. The purpose is to focus SBIR funding on those projects that are most likely to be developed into viable new products that DHS and others will buy and that will thereby make a major contribution to homeland security and/or economic capabilities. For more information about the DHS S&T SBIR Program's cost match feature, please see the Cost Match Feature section.
The Jump Start to Phase II feature was an invitation (at the discretion of the DHS S&T Program Manager) for Phase II proposal submission before the completion of Phase I. This feature was only for meritorious Phase I projects with clear potential for Phase II and was designed to decrease the funding gap between phases and to accelerate the development of the Phase I SBIR technology. The invitation was given no earlier than 2/3 of period of performance (i.e., not earlier than month four), and was used for solicitations issued through the FY12.2 solicitation. The Jump Start to Phase II feature was eliminated beginning with the FY13.1 solicitation, as P.L. 112-81 no longer permits an agency to use an invitation process for Phase II. That is, an agency may not use an invitation, pre-screening, or pre-selection process for eligibility for Phase II.
For agencies other than the National Institutes of Health (NIH), the Department of Defense (DoD), and the Department of Education (ED), you have to be a Phase I SBIR awardee in order to be considered for an SBIR Phase II award. Please note however, that although P.L. 112-81 permits these agencies (NIH, DoD, and ED) to issue a Phase II award to a small business concern that did not receive a Phase I award for that R/R&D, these agencies may or may not do so. Be sure to check the solicitations/federal funding opportunity announcements issued by these agencies.
A small business concern for purposes of award of any funding agreement under the SBIR Program is one which has not more than 500 employees, including its affiliates.
No. To be eligible for an SBIR award, a small business concern has to meet the following qualifications:
principal place of business is located in the United States; and
at least 51 percent owned or controlled by citizens of the United States.
No, but they may be subcontractors to the small business concern. SBIR awards are always made to the small business concern.
For Phase I, a minimum of two thirds of the research and/or analytical effort must be performed by the proposing small business concern; for Phase II, a minimum of one-half of the research and/or analytical effort must be performed by the proposing small business concern.
Pre-solicitation announcements are issued for fifteen days before the official solicitation is released. The pre-solicitation period provides the small business concern the opportunity to review the specific topics for which proposals are sought, and affords the small business concern the opportunity to contact the topic authors directly to further discuss the topic. Once the solicitation opens, there can be no direct contact with the topic authors. Questions of a technical nature must be submitted to the email listed in the solicitation.
DHS S&T SBIR solicitations are released up to two times each year, generally in November/December and sometimes in April/May of each year. Solicitations are posted on the Federal Business Opportunities website at www.fbo.gov and linked on the DHS S&T SBIR website at https://sbir2.st.dhs.gov.
Solicitation topics are developed by Program Managers in each of the Science and Technology (S&T) Divisions within the Homeland Security Advanced Research Projects Agency (HSARPA) and the First Responder Group. The HSARPA technical divisions include: Borders and Maritime Security; Chemical/Biological Defense; Cyber Security; and Explosives. Similar to the R&D programs of the S&T Directorate, the SBIR topics generally address the needs of the seven DHS Operational Units, i.e., U.S. Coast Guard, U.S. Transportation Security Administration, U.S. Customs and Border Protection, Federal Emergency Management Agency, U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, and U.S. Secret Service, as well as the needs of First Responders.
No. Proposals are accepted only in response to topics published in the current solicitation.
Two research and development organizations within DHS participate in the SBIR Program: the Science and Technology (S&T) Directorate and the Domestic Nuclear Detection Office (DNDO). Information about the S&T Directorate's SBIR Program can be found at https://sbir2.st.dhs.gov. Questions may be submitted to stsbir.program@hq.dhs.gov. General inquiries about DNDO's SBIR Program may be submitted to dndo.sbir@hq.dhs.gov.

(Back to SBIR Fraud questions)
Fraud can take on many forms in the Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Program. Fraud includes any false representation about a material fact or intentional deception designed to deprive the United States unlawfully of something of value or to secure from the United States a benefit, privilege, allowance, or consideration to which an individual or business is not entitled.
Examples of fraud, waste, and abuse relating to the SBIR Program include, but are not limited to:
Misrepresentations or material, factual omissions to obtain, or otherwise receive funding under, an SBIR award;
Misrepresentations of the use of funds expended, work done, results achieved, or compliance with program requirements under an SBIR award;
Misuse or conversion of SBIR award funds, including any use of award funds while not in full compliance with SBIR Program requirements, or failure to pay taxes due on misused or converted SBIR award funds;
Fabrication, falsification, or plagiarism in applying for, carrying out, or reporting results from an SBIR award;
Failure to comply with applicable federal costs principles governing an award;
Extravagant, careless, or needless spending;
Self-dealing, such as making a sub-award to an entity in which the PI has a financial interest;
Acceptance by agency personnel of bribes or gifts in exchange for grant or contract awards or other conflicts of interest that prevents the Government from getting the best value; and
Lack of monitoring, or follow-up if questions arise, by agency personnel to ensure that awardee meets all required eligibility requirements, provides all required certifications, performs in accordance with the terms and conditions of the award, and performs all work proposed in the application.
Duplicate or overlapping proposals may not be submitted to multiple agencies without full disclosure to all agencies.
The company must meet SBA's requirements for a small business, including being majority American owned and have 500 employees or fewer (including its affiliates).The PI's primary employment must be with the SBC at the time of award and during the conduct of the proposed project.
The PI may not be employed full time with another organization.
For Phase I, a minimum of two thirds of the research effort must be performed by the awardee (i.e., small business); for Phase II, a minimum of one-half of the research effort must be performed by the awardee (i.e., small business). Work performed by a university research lab, subcontractor or consultant is NOT work completed by the awardee during the contract period.
University employees participating on an SBIR award should disclose their involvement to the university, as well as their use of university facilities.
If you commit fraud or other wrongdoing in applying for or carrying out a DHS SBIR award, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Office of Inspector General (OIG) will investigate. DHS OIG will refer violations of civil or criminal law to the Department of Justice (DOJ). If DOJ prosecutes you for fraud or false statements, you may be sentenced to prison and required to pay full restitution. If DOJ pursues a civil action under the False Claims Act, you may have to pay treble damages (three times the amount of the award) plus $11,000 for each false claim. In addition, DHS may terminate your awards and debar you from receiving grants or contracts from any federal agency.
The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Office of Inspector General (OIG) is charged with conducting objective audits, inspections and investigations, as well as preventing and detecting fraud, waste and abuse in DHS programs. The Office of Investigations handles allegations of wrongdoing involving organizations or individuals that receive rewards from, conduct business with, or work for DHS.
DHS OIG investigates allegations in which DHS is the potential victim of fraud by employees, contractors, grantees or others. DHS OIG receives allegations from many sources, including: proposal reviewers, agency employees, the public and the OIG Hotline. DHS OIG also investigates allegations of research misconduct involving DHS proposals and awards.
For any questions regarding your proposal or award, contact your DHS SBIR Program Manager.

Influence Amplification
In marketing, image is everything. But what if that image isn't real? And, does it even matter?
Most people are familiar with the usual apps and filters to adjust or clean up images, and for some more seasoned photographers or designers, using Photoshop to do heavier edits in post production. But these two concepts pale in comparison to the newest visual trick — deepfakes.
What are deepfakes, and how can they be used for both positive and nefarious purposes? Let's find out.
Deepfake Basics
Simply put, a deepfake is an image or video in which an image of one person is superimposed over another. However, this isn't done in an obvious, amateur or ironic way. In fact, deepfakes are known for being so high-quality that it's often impossible for viewers to tell if they are looking at something that's authentic or not. One of the more well-known examples of deepfakes in pop culture is the use of deepfake technology to replicate Princess Leia and Grand Moff Tarkin in the Star Wars Rogue One film, which left viewers in amazement at how the filmmakers were able to pull it off. But, even since that movie, technology has continued to advance and improve at a dramatic pace.
Given the persuasive abilities of deepfakes, it's not hard to see where this technology can take a dark turn. The potential negative implications for deepfakes are numerous. In the wrong hands, deepfakes can cause tremendous damage in terms of misleading the public, slandering others, and misrepresenting individuals or brands. That's definitely something brands — and people as a whole — need to be aware of and watch out for. For potential political use alone, the lingering effects of convincing deepfake imagery to mislead or slander opponents could be substantial.
Deepfakes can also be used for more conventional and beneficial executions in marketing. What can deepfakes accomplish, and what should brands know?
Deepfakes in Marketing
Marketing has always leveraged cutting-edge digital technology to communicate messages visually. Deepfakes, though, aren't just another piece of technology – it's an art form that, when used creatively and in the appropriate context, can be a powerfully influential or impactful tool.
We've seen similar technology used in advertising in a humorous or comedic sense, such as talking babies and animals. But those were obvious and often intentionally crude applications of CGI. Deepfakes can now go even deeper. And, their power should be managed with care.
Because deepfakes are increasingly more difficult to discern from reality, they're best used when there's something familiar on the screen, and when there's something important (but not detrimental) at stake. When the viewer is already drawn in and invested, that's when deepfakes can be most effective in influencing audiences or consumers behavior.
There are two recent notable examples of deepfakes that have been particularly impactful. One is an Indian ad for Pepsi products, which uses deepfake videos of famous Bollywood movie characters to stage an interaction between one character and another, both played by the same actor at different times.
In this case, the deepfake works because the viewer already knows who the characters are and why they should care about this premise. It's the visual representation of something people have imagined in their minds, drawing them into the ad. Whether or not the deepfake is directly related to the soda it's trying to sell is irrelevant. It's an effective use of deepfake technology because it doesn't need to be explained, and it's playing upon something the viewer already knows.
A second example of deepfake technology at work is a Dove ad with an entirely different message. Dove's ad also features a face-off of sorts, but it's the opposite of the Pepsi ad. The Dove ad features teenage girls watching videos of influencers providing beauty inspiration and advice.
However, thanks to deepfake technology, the influencers are replaced by images of the mothers of the teens giving the same advice — much of which is unhealthy, dangerous, and which promotes a highly damaging beauty standard. Much like the Pepsi ad, the deepfake in the Dove ad is surreal, but for an entirely different reason.
Here, any viewer can see just how shocking it is to see a trusted person dispense careless and reckless advice. It illuminates both the unattainable standards and the pressure put on young girls to reach these levels — something that might not be clear under normal circumstances. The deepfake helps to drive the message and make a true statement about beauty.
The two ads are similar, but in an important way, they're very different. Pepsi used a deepfake to intrigue viewers and get them interested in an ad, and their soda pitch is an afterthought. For Dove, though, there isn't a sales pitch at all. If anything, Dove — a beauty company — stands to potentially lose out on sales. But the message is powerful and undeniable. But as those teen girls are impacted by the ad and develop a healthier self-image, they may turn to Dove products in the future.
What Brands Should Know About Deepfakes
The technology behind deepfakes is relatively new, which means it may be unavailable and prohibitively expensive for some small businesses. However, that won't be the case forever. It won't be long before deepfakes are easier to produce and, therefore, more commonplace. It's good to have an idea of how you might approach deepfakes when that time comes.
We've seen examples of companies using deepfakes for fantasy purposes and to engage in real talk with the audience. But there's more that can be done with deepfakes. For example, a message about diversity could combine multiple ethnicities or genders into one image. Just the same, a brand could combine multiple flags into one to create a global mosaic. As the technology evolves, there will be even more uses for deepfakes, from comedic to serious and everything in between.
Your brand might not be ready to utilize deepfakes just yet. But when you are, there will be plenty of resources at your disposal. A company known as Hour One is already enlisting people who are willing to let the organization use their faces in deepfakes. These could be the building blocks for future marketing campaigns, or they could be the bodies on which more famous faces are overlaid. Time will tell what the true applications of these models will be, but businesses that want to use deepfakes will have no shortage of options.
Unethical Marketing
As mentioned earlier, there exists the potential for businesses to use deepfakes for nefarious purposes. These can include fake celebrity endorsements, false claims about products, and bogus product features, among other potential lies. Deepfake influencers can even present as legitimate influencers. No business should ever engage in these fraudulent forms of advertising, no matter how tempting it may be. Engaging in false advertising is not only illegal, but it will erode the trust of your audience, who will be slow to forgive you for misleading them.
While still an emerging technology and creative tactic, deepfakes are slowly becoming a common and effective strategic tool in marketing when executed properly. And, the time to pay attention is now. Consider how you and your brand might use deepfakes strategically in your industry or your next campaign. If you'd like to learn more about deepfakes and how you might be able to make use of this technology, contact us at Commit Agency today.

xenical 120 mg ohne rezept undyingly Instagram Bans Plastic Surgery Filters That FaceTune or Give Surgical Ideas
https://tigerline.at/79768-apotheke-viagra-kosten-89508/
https://reiseland-de.de/862-propranolol-bestellen-ohne-rezept-15535/ Spark AR, the platform behind the development of many of Instagram's popular face filters, has just announced via its Facebook group that it will "remove all effects associated with plastic surgery from the Instagram Effect Gallery".
Guantánamo potenztabletten apotheke Citing a desire to better promote positive well-being among Instagram and Facebook users, the announcement comes as a shock to many who use the filters just for fun and to express their creativity. Both filter developers and Instagram users are frustrated with the platform for "censoring" self-expression and imagination.
Others however see this move as a step in the right direction for Instagram. The company has faced significant criticism in recent years for facilitating an environment online that promotes a toxic and unrealistic sense of body image. The announcement has been praised by many who see it as looking out for more vulnerable individuals, such as teens and those who suffer from body dysphoric disorder. These young people see unrealistic images of celebrities such as Kylie Jenner or Cardi B, and they begin to feel even worse about their appearance.
There has been limited research though about the effects of plastic surgery filters on an individual's decision to go under the knife in real life. For those considering the prospect of undergoing cosmetic surgery, an AR option on social media is actually a safe and easy way to see how it might look before contacting a surgeon. However, with the filters no longer available on social media, plastic surgery Denver clinics could see an increase in potential patients wanting a "see it first" AR option before getting the real deal.
The Origins of Spark AR
For those who haven't heard about Spark AR before, here's an overview of what the platform is.
Originally launched on Facebook in 2017, the software's beta program was initially designed to enable a limited set of brands and designers to develop their own augmented reality (AR) effects for mobile cameras. Similar to the infamous dog ears on Snapchat, however now AR filters could easily be designed by this select group to promote their social media presence.
In the beginning, anyone could apply to join as a designer, however applicants had to be officially accepted into the program. The initial rollout was well received, with Facebook having reported in a press release that, "More than 1 billion people have used AR effects and filters powered by Spark AR on Facebook, Instagram, Messenger, and Portal".
The AR Expansion for Creators
This all changed on August 13 of this year, when Facebook announced that it was expanding the platform. Now anyone, anywhere in the world, could begin to develop and publish their own custom AR filters on Instagram – without prior approval to the platform.
Considering the millions of artists and content creators who use Instagram to express themselves and promote their work, this news exploded. Anyone could now design and publish any filter they wanted; enabling more people to have the tools necessary to make a real difference and set themselves apart in cyberspace. Any designers' unique filters can now be found at the bottom of their profiles on the Instagram mobile app, and can be accessed by friends and followers to use for fun.
To help promote up and coming artists in AR effects, Instagram also introduced the new "Effect Gallery". This gallery allows Instagram users to explore and discover new effects within the community of filter creators.
Since the expansion, the reception among AR designers has been overwhelmingly positive.
Designers were thrilled to have the opportunity to experiment with this new technology and express themselves in a new way. Graphic design and advertising student, Aliya Ataulove (@whiteabysses) reported to Facebook that she "sees AR as fundamental to the future of art creation".
Another creator, Luke Hurd (@lukehurd) was happy with the new creator studio, however he advised creators to, "be a good steward to the technology and understand that you're carrying this thing to the future of society".
Announcement on October 18: Banning plastic surgery Denver filters
Hurd's statement appears to be ringing truer than ever, with Spark AR recently announcing on the 18 of October that the company is "re-evaluating our existing policies as they relate to well-being".
In the company's Facebook group for creators, the announcement goes on to outline three specific actions that the company will take which includes:
"Removing all effects associated with plastic surgery from the Instagram Effect Gallery".
"Postponing approval of new effects associated with plastic surgery until further notice" and
"Continuing to remove policy violating effects as they are identified."
The company informed creators that this new policy will "result in increased review times and a delay in effect approvals" and apologized for any inconvenience. Though the company did not give a specific timeline of the full rollout, it did reassure creators that they will share any further developments and updates as soon as possible.
Filters Rumored to be Banned
While the company did not announce which specific filters it intends to remove, several outlets have made speculations. One filter that will likely be cut is called "Plastica", which was famously used by influencer, Cheila Navarro, and appears to make the user look like they have had an unnatural facelift.
Another filter rumored to be banned is "Bad Botox", which makes users look like they have injected an abnormal amount of Botox into their face. The filter "Fix Me" is also likely to be banned, given it mocks up the users face with a sharpie; similar to what a plastic surgeon would do before conducting a facelift.
Not all filters will be banned, however, and both creators and influencers are encouraged to continue to have fun and be creative with other filters that do not promote a negative body image. For example, fun filters like the puppy faces, flower crowns, and glittery masks can all still be used – and there is tremendous scope for creativity in the future as long as developers are in line with Instagram's well-being guidelines.
Other Announcements and Restricted Content on Instagram
This recent announcement by Spark AR is not the first announcement Instagram has made affecting the plastic surgery and cosmetic industries. Back in September, the platform announced that it was restricting the promotion of plastic surgery services on Facebook and Instagram by prohibiting advertising to young people under the age of 18.
Additionally, certain weight loss products advertisements were also restricted by disallowing the use of certain aggressive incentives for purchasing the product. These companies are also no longer allowed to make "miraculous claims" about their products, for example by prohibiting paid endorsers from claiming to lose an unrealistic amount of weight in a short period of time.
The company is also toying with the idea of doing away with "vanity" metrics on Instagram globally; having already rolled out a test in certain countries that removes the "like" button on news-feed posts. This is aimed to refocus the users' attention away from worrying about how many people like their post and instead encourage them to continue to create high quality, engaging content.
It is likely the company may roll out other content restrictions, considering Instagram has clearly made mental health and well-being a top priority in 2019. With more and more research being conducted on the topic, the platform will likely use this research and feedback to inform future decisions.
The Research Behind Social Media and Well-being
Are the new restrictions warranted? There is one published academic study that examined the "Effects of social media use on desire for cosmetic surgery among young women". Authored by a collaboration of researchers from University College London and The University of Illinois, the study did show evidence that younger girls and women are "highly more likely to want a cosmetic procedure if they spend lots of time on social media."
Instagram was also scrutinized back in 2017 by a UK snapshot survey that found among young people aged 14-24, Instagram was rated as the "worst social media platform" when it comes to mental health.
Because the widespread use of social media is a relatively new phenomenon, it will take several more years until researchers have a more definitive answer about the impact it can have on mental health. Until then, Instagram and other social media platforms will have to self-regulate and foster an environment that is healthy for everyone.
Conflicting Perspectives: Mental Health vs. Creativity
Among AR creators, Spark AR's announcement in its creator Facebook group did not go without serious criticism from the community; with one user stating that the new rules were, "Unfair for all creators that have already done masks with deformation!". The user then points the finger at software like Facetune and Photoshop, stating, "If you want to make Instagram a better place – delete every account that is posting super edited body and face pics – it is a bigger problem".
Another commentator chimed in saying, "So do we ban people from FaceTuning their Instagram photos too?". Others joked about whether the use of makeup should be banned.
Another interesting perspective was highlighted by one commentator who said, "Quick thought, for those that have plastic surgery in real life, are their faces now "wrong" according to Facebook? Could this be seen as a type of body shaming?".
Impact on the Plastic Surgery Industry
For plastic surgery Denver clinics, this announcement could potentially impact the demand for their services or the technologies they use to help clients – though it is too early to tell what this may look like.
For some individuals, the use of Instagram has directly influenced their decision to get cosmetic surgery and with the platform's likely continued rollout of restrictions, this number could decrease. However, with the increased buzz around the topic of plastic surgery, the initiative could likely have the opposite effect and inspire more people to consider it. The buzz could also pave the way for plastic surgery clinics to develop their own AR technologies that enable patients to see what they will look like after surgery.

Space startup Stells wants to put spacecraft-charging covers on the Moon • TechCrunch
in 地方のニュース
The portable power bank first came on the scene in 2001, and since then, on-the-go charging has been a possibility for most mobile device users. Now, a new space company wants to bring the concept of mobile charging to the moon — not for cell phones, of course, but for rovers and landers.
Toronto-based Stells, founded by CEO Alex Kapralov and CTO Vital Ioussoupov in 2021, is developing a rover called Mobile Power Rover (MPR-1) that would be able to provide power to lunar spacecraft via wireless charging. The company has secured a launch date in November 2024 via a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket and an Intuitive Machines lander, with a tentative landing on the moon in January 2025.
Stells was initially interested in the lunar drilling industry, specifically in lunar craters. But early research proved that a power source for a drilling rover would likely be prohibitively expensive. That inspired MPR-1. "Why don't we just provide power to others so they can have a redundancy in their power supply?" Kapralov tells TechCrunch.
Most spacecraft derive their power from one of two sources: solar panels and Radioisotope Thermoelectric Generators (RTG). Solar panels, of course, only function in areas that receive sunlight—deep craters don't always receive any sunlight. Solar panels also require a lot of surface area. With rovers the size of cars, such as the ones on Mars, that's not a problem. But the next generation of moon rovers will be much smaller. NASA, for instance, is developing Called Cooperative Autonomous Distributed Robotic Explorers that will be the size of shoe boxes.
RTG, on the other hand, is not reliant upon the sun, instead using the radioactive decay of plutonium-238 to create electrical power. The technology is, perhaps unsurprisingly, quite expensive, and it might not be cost-effective for small rovers.
Given the current push for moon projects — Artemis 1, for instance, launched with four CubeSats destined for the moon (along with six others heading elsewhere) — MPR-1 has the potential to be quite useful.

"The way we're planning on delivering power is by using a box we call the wireless charging box, or WCB," says Kapralov. The WCB would harness the power via solar panels—in the case of a lunar crater, it would place those on the crater's rim, then run power lines down to the crater floor, where the WCB would be stationed.
The WCB would then store that power in its batteries, then distribute it quickly to other rovers via wireless charging. Those rovers, which would need a specific wireless charging port compatible with the WCB, would be able to navigate to the WCB using a beacon or visual navigation. With no atmosphere to attenuate the wireless power signal, this process would be much more efficient than on Earth.

Kapralov also hopes that the WCB would be able to travel to power-drained lunar spacecraft to provide a jumpstart charge, though that's a challenge for a future mission. The first mission would simply be a technology demonstration for the WCB.
Thus far, Stells has been building prototypes and testing them on Earth—and it's been entirely self-funded. "But we are probably going to start close to the beginning of next year to try to secure some funds for the development and the flight launch," says Kapralov.
Over the past two decades, there's been a significant push for lunar exploration, and while development is rife, results have been minimal. Google's Lunar Xprize competition, for instance, had companies developing lunar rovers for a $20 million grand prize. The competition commenced in 2007 and had a 2014 deadline for a lunar landing; when it was clear no one would be ready by 2014, that deadline was extended, ultimately to 2018.
Though five teams ultimately secured launch contracts, Google ended the competition without a winner. Moon Express and Team Indus of those teams had their contracts canceled, while Hakuto/ispace and Synergy Moon are still working toward launch. The fifth team, SpaceIL, did launch to the moon in 2019, but its landing attempt failed.
Still, the lunar industry continues to develop, and more missions are closer to reality than ever before. Nothing is guaranteed—there is fertile ground for well-meaning failure. But the moon is the limit for the dozens of companies like Stells hoping to get there.

Q: Is it ever meaningful that the owner of an executable file doesn't have the execution permission?
*

*Assume an executable file has its set-user-id bit on.
When a process executes the executable file, it changes its
effective user ID  to  the owner user ID of the executable file, after the kernel decides that the file can be executed via file
access test. See
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/41456225/how-and-when-does-exec-change-the-effective-user-id-when-the-set-user-id-is-s
and
What is the usage of set-user-ID of a program file?
Does that means that the owner user ID of the executable file  can
be one which doesn't pass the file access test performed by the
kernel, even if the test has already been passed based on the
original effective user ID of the process ?

*Generally speaking, is it ever meaningful that the owner of an
executable file doesn't have the execution permission?
Thanks.

A: *

*I have no idea how that works for certain (largely because I've never seen any use for such a configuration).  My guess would be that it doesn't matter, because SUID effectively puts a seteuid() call at the very end of the startup process (right before executions transfers to the program itself), which would be after the file gets loaded for execution, and therefore once the check has happened as well (the check happens (at least on Linux) prior to any data being loaded into memory).

*That depends on what you mean by meaningful.  It functionally does nothing, since the owner can just set the executable bit themselves (assuming no extra mandatory-access-controls that prevent them from doing so), so in that respect not really.  As far as whether it's meaningful in the sense of being useful, I can't come up with any situations where it would make sense for the owner to not have execute permissions but other users do, so I would say no there as well.

Under the Recovery of Debts Due to Banks and Financial Institutions (RDDBFI) Act, 1993 banks approach the Debts Recovery Tribunal (DRT) whereas, under Securitization and Reconstruction of Financial Assets and Enforcement of Security Interests (SARFAESI) Act, 2002 borrowers, guarantors, and other any other person aggrieved by any action of the bank can approach the Debts Recovery Tribunal (DRT).
Debts Recovery Tribunal are located across the country. Some cities have more than one Debts Recovery Tribunals. New Delhi, Chennai, Kolkata and Mumbai have three Debts Recovery Tribunals. Ahmedabad and Chandigarh have two Debts Recovery Tribunal (DRT) each. One Debts Recovery Tribunal has been constituted at Allahabad, Aurangabad, Bangalore, Coimbatore, Cuttack, Earnakulam, Guwahati, Hyderabad, Jabalpur, Jaipur, Lucknow, Madurai, Nagpur, Patna, Pune, Vishakapatnam and Ranchi.
Each Debts Recovery Tribunal (DRT) is presided over by a Presiding Officer. The Presiding Officer is generally equivalent to the rank of Dist. & Sessions Judge. A Presiding Officer of a Debts Recovery Tribunal is assisted by a number of officers of other ranks, but none of them need necessarily have a judicial background. Therefore, the Presiding Officer of a Debts Recovery Tribunal is the sole judicial authority to hear and pass any judicial order.
Each Debts Recovery Tribunal has two Recovery Officers. The work amongst the Recovery Officers of a Debts Recovery Tribunal (DRT) is allocated by the Presiding Officer of the Tribunal. Though the Recovery Officer of the Tribunal need not be a judicial Officer, but the orders passed by a Recovery Officer are judicial in nature, and are appealable before the Presiding Officer of the Debts Recovery Tribunal (DRT).
The Debts Recovery Tribunal can appoint Receivers, Commissioners, pass ex-parte orders, ad-interim orders, interim orders apart from powers to Review its own decisions and hear appeals against orders passed by the Recovery Officers of the Tribunal.
Appeals against orders passed by Debts Recovery Tribunal (DRT) lie before Debts Recovery Appellate Tribunal (DRAT). There five Debts Recovery Appellate Tribunal (DRATs) located in the country. One Debts Recovery Appellate Tribunal (DRAT) is located each at Delhi, Allahabad, Mumbai, Chennai and Kolkata. A Debts Recovery Appellate Tribunal (DRAT) conducts circuit sittings in different cities where Debts Recovery Tribunal (DRTs) are located over which it has appellate jurisdiction.

Percentages homework sheet? The louisiana purchase research paper.
Percentages homework notes? Sites that pay for creative writing.
❶I was relieved when I receivd a well-composed paper. I could not have done it better myself!
Their assessments ranged from homework having positive effects, no effects, or complex effects to the suggestion that the research was too sparse or poorly conducted to allow trustworthy conclusions. What kind of homework are we talking about? Fill-in-the-blank worksheets or extended projects? In what school subject s? How old are the students? How able and interested are they? Are we looking at how much the teacher assigned or at how much the kids actually did? How careful was the study and how many students were investigated?
Even when you take account of all these variables, the bottom line remains that no definite conclusion can be reached, and that is itself a significant conclusion. Research casting doubt on that assumption goes back at least to , when a study found that assigning spelling homework had no effect on how proficient children were at spelling later on. About 70 percent of these found that homework was associated with higher achievement. Forty-three of fifty correlations were positive, although the overall effect was not particularly large: As for more recent studies looking for a relationship between achievement and time spent on homework, the overall correlation was about the same as the one found in But if we look more closely, even that description turns out to be too generous.
At best, most homework studies show only an association, not a causal relationship. Nevertheless, most research purporting to show a positive effect of homework seems to be based on the assumption that when students who get or do more homework also score better on standardized tests, it follows that the higher scores were due to their having had more homework. There are almost always other explanations for why successful students might be in classrooms where more homework is assigned — let alone why these students might take more time with their homework than their peers do.
But many of these studies depend on students to tell us how much homework they get or complete. When Cooper and his associates looked at recent studies in which the time spent on homework was reported by students, and then compared them with studies in which that estimate was provided by their parents, the results were quite different.
These first two flaws combine to cast doubt on much of the existing data, according to a damning summary that appears in the Encyclopedia of Educational Research: Homework studies confuse grades and test scores with learning.
Any given assignment may well be given two different grades by two equally qualified teachers — and may even be given two different grades by a single teacher who reads it at two different times. The final course grade, moreover, is based on a combination of these individual marks, along with other, even less well defined considerations. The same teacher who handed out the assignments then turns around and evaluates the students who completed them.
Cooper and his colleagues conducted a study in with both younger and older students from grades 2 through 12 , using both grades and standardized test scores to measure achievement. They also looked at how much homework was assigned by the teacher as well as at how much time students spent on their homework. Thus, there were eight separate results to be reported. The last, and most common, way of measuring achievement is to use standardized test scores.
They are, however, excellent indicators of two things. The first is affluence: Up to 90 percent of the difference in scores among schools, communities, or even states can be accounted for, statistically speaking, without knowing anything about what happened inside the classrooms. The second phenomenon that standardized tests measure is how skillful a particular group of students is at taking standardized tests — and, increasingly, how much class time has been given over to preparing them to do just that.
Instead, its primary purpose is to artificially spread out the scores in order to facilitate ranking students against each other.
The limitations of these tests are so numerous and so serious that studies showing an association between homework and higher scores are highly misleading. The fact that more meaningful outcomes are hard to quantify does not make test scores or grades any more valid, reliable, or useful as measures. Now that you can turn fractions into percentages, it's time to work backwards.
Often, you'll need to find a certain percentage of something. One way to do this is to change the percentage into a fraction out of , and then multiply it by the amount you're finding the percentage of.
You would use the same steps to figure out the amount of a tip. Read percentage problems carefully. Let's try another example: If she sells 30 candy bars, how much commission will she earn? If you have a calculator handy, you can change the percentage into a decimal, and multiply the total amount by the decimal to get your answer.
There are tons of opportunities to practice percentage problems in daily life. You can ask your parents to let you calculate the server's tip when you go to a restaurant, or you can calculate the sales tax when you go shopping. You can also survey your friends about their likes and dislikes, and report the results using percentages. Parents across the country are starting to question the impact that math homework has on their children. This article discusses why math homework is important and what parents should expect to see in their children's assignments.
Math homework can be especially tricky because there are so many different formulas and procedures to remember.

For the younger technology, they are uncovered to movies that are primarily personal computer animated. There are 3D movies that are much more of a presentation than a journey into the story. Sometimes the tales do not even have to be significant to turn into a strike. This art that used to be the main purpose for films just before is slowly disappearing. This is why the technological advancement of currently being capable to look at free of charge streaming movies has greatly served the appreciation of past films.
As an example, Martin Scorsese is a movie director, screenwriter and producer. He has manufactured a great deal of movies since he became energetic in 1963. His taste in videos has revolved much more on action movies and mafia films which has garnered many different accolades above the a long time. Some of his films have been regarded part of the checklist of the greatest motion pictures in the entire world. These movies are a key example of the big difference among films then and now. Cineblog01 that individuals can take pleasure in with the technological innovation they have.
1 might ask: What are the ideal Martin Scorsese movies? And however there are many viewpoints about the make a difference, underneath are four of the very best functions by Mr. Scorsese.
In 2006, Scorsese won an Oscar for his film The Departed. Some individuals think that he ought to have received before but this motion picture is an illustration of how excellent he is. The story revolves close to the simple premise of a great cop against a bad cop. The insights on the dirty trade consider distinct twists and turns in a effectively made creation. The actors that Scorsese obtained for the movie are superb as properly he acquired Leonardo DiCaprio, Matt Damon and Jack Nicholson. The star-studded cast by yourself is a positive strike for fans but what they deemed as the crowning jewel is how the story was played out.
Taxi Driver is most likely 1 of the most famous films of all time. It has made the greatest line that is associated with Scorsese: "You talkin' to me?" For this film, Scorsese receives Robert De Niro to engage in a psychotic cab driver who turns to violence when existence does not give him quick balls. It has won awards in many different nations and continues to have a cult following.
The ultimate mafia film is one that Scorsese made. Goodfellas welcomed the 90s decade with a bang. It has almost everything that matters in a mob movie: funds, crimes, deaths, and undesirable guys. They are completely depicted in this film in which Ray Liotta plays a mobster on the highway to become the mob leader. This stays as 1 of the very best films in current background and is essential for men and women who really like motion motion pictures.
There are other videos that have to be described but the ones above are great kinds to start with. Generating sure that technological innovation is utilized to discover about the excellent movies in the earlier, start hunting up and viewing these totally free streaming films to see how fantastic movies have been ahead of all the outcomes.

To no surprise, the four-time reigning Western Conference champion Warriors come out of the All-Star break with the West's best record, two games ahead of Denver. It would be an upset for Golden State to not finish with the conference's top seed. It is the -357 favourite at Sports Interaction to claim another West title.
Sacramento has the longest playoff drought in the NBA, last making it in the 2005-06 season. Currently, the Kings sit ninth in the West but just a game behind the No. 8 Clippers – who got intentionally worse at the trade deadline. The Kings are one of the most improved teams in the NBA and have a bright future behind young players such as De'Aaron Fox, Buddy Hield and Marvin Bagley III. Quite possible they grab the No. 8 seed and face the Warriors in the West quarterfinals.
Golden State goes for the four-game season sweep, but the first three have been decided by just a combined 10 points. All were high scoring and very entertaining. The Warriors have won 21 of the past 25 meetings overall. This will be the Kings' last-ever game in Oakland (barring a playoff matchup) with the Warriors moving to San Francisco next season.
The Kings have covered their past four in Oakland.
The sign of a young team can often be its home/road splits. The home crowd gets the guys fired up and they play well there, while on the road things are much different. That's largely the story of these Kings, who are 19-11 at home but 11-16 away. They lost their final game before the break but played terrific in Denver, falling 120-118 on a last-second tip-in.
Hield and Fox have both taken giant leaps forward this season. Hield is averaging 20.5 points, while Fox, maybe the fastest player in the NBA, is putting up 17.2 points and 7.2 assists. Bagley III was the No. 2 overall pick in the 2018 draft and has come on after a slow start. The former Duke star is averaging 16.1 points and 8.9 rebounds over the previous 10. Sacramento is 7-1 ATS in its past eight following a loss.
It was a productive All-Star Game for Warriors superstar Kevin Durant as he won his second career MVP Award in that game. He was the first overall pick in the "draft" by LeBron James. Might have been Durant's last All-Star Game as a Warriors amid rumours he will leave for the Knicks this summer as a free agent. In the last six regular-season games, Durant is shooting a stellar 63.9 percent from the field. He's ranked fifth in the league in scoring at 27.6 ppg, while teammate Steph Curry is third (28.6 ppg).
Golden State comes out of the break having won 16 of its past 18 games to pass the Nuggets for the West's best record. The Dubs were clobbered their final game before the break, 129-107 in Portland, but that was the second of a back-to-back and simply a veteran team ready for the week off.

The introduction of the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 has brought together all the elements of fire safety.
Emergency lighting is primarily intended to provide sufficient illumination to enable people to see their way safely out of a building in cases of emergency and falls into five categories:
Escape Lighting
Standby Lighting
Escape Route Lighting
High Risk Task Area Lighting
Open Area (Anti-Panic) Lighting
It is vital that emergency lighting comes on if the normal lighting fails. It needs to be sufficiently bright, illuminated for enough time, and the light sources so positioned that the occupants of a building can be evacuated safely in an emergency. BS 5266 Emergency Lighting, the Code of Practice for the emergency lighting of premises, offers guidance on the positioning of emergency luminaires, minimum height levels and acceptable glare levels, together with minimum routine testing schedules.
BS 5266 puts additional emphasis on the importance of regular testing of emergency lighting equipment.
We offer fully documented risk assessment services for businesses, enabling demonstrable compliance with the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005.

Q: SCCM - Accept a dialog box via command line to uninstall a simple MSI I'm trying to uninstall a simple MSI via SCCM but when I start the command line, this message appears "Are you sure to uninstall this application ?" and I have the "Yes or No" choice.
I tried with this command line: msiexec /x {D582312F-07B5-434A-8CBB-F6793440CD0C} /qn
But nothing is happening because I think the command line is stuck when the question is asked.
Anybody have had the same problem and have a solution to respond "Yes"?
Thansk a lot in advance,

Odd English duo's second album is refreshing and bright, rather than weird and self-righteous.
Two years ago, the duo released their debut, "I, Gemini" much to the shock (and occasional fatigue) of critics, who seemed to give most of the credit to their producers instead of the prodigy-like girls behind the creative whirlwind of a record.
Their newest album, "I'm All Ears," finds the two cohesively maturing. They've stated in past interviews that they want their songs to reflect a sort of non-binary genre, not adhering to any specific type of category, and "I'm All Ears" manages to do just that, in a way that's refreshing and bright rather than weird and self-righteous, like many similarly advertised albums released nowadays.
"I'm All Ears" is a cutting edge album. I can safely say that it doesn't sound like anything else out there right now, as every track seems to have it's own vibe and sound.
As you glide your way through Hollingworth's and Walton's wild collage of ideas, don't be afraid to take some advice from the album title and simply open up your ears. You won't regret it.


The Dublin Spire was the winning entry in an architectural competition to provide a replacement for Nelson's Pillar which was blown up in 1966. After a planning appeal and a High Court case, the Spire finally got the go ahead. It was erected between December 2002 and January 2003 to great public excitement. Archiseek has construction photographs.
The column to the memory of Nelson, which was one hundred and thirty-four feet high, was erected in 1808, the foundation stone having been laid by the Duke of Richmond, Lord Lieutenant, on the 5th of February in that year. William Wilkins of Norwich designed it, but the statue of Nelson is by an Irish sculptor, Thomas Kirk, R.H.A. Nelson's Pillar was erected by public subscription and cost £6,856. It was blown up in 1966 in the middle of the night, but the head of Nelson has been preserved by the Dublin Civic Museum.
The Dublin Spire is one hundred and twenty metres tall, making it by far the tallest structure in Dublin city centre. It is three metres wide at the base and tapers to a 15 centimentre wide beacon at the top. The top section is perforated and lit by small LEDs.
This fabulous structure looks different under every lighting condition. At night, its stainless steel surface resembles black satin, while early morning and last light gave it a steely blue colour. In daytime under bright sunlight, it doesn't look real from a distance, instead it looks like a computer simulation.
Archiseek followed the erection process of the Dublin Spire with regular photographs. In addition the original information from the announcement of the Spire as the winner of the architectural competition can be read here.
