"The question all beginners in genealogy research ask themselves is, 'Where do I begin?' 'Should I join a commercial subscription service like Ancestry.com?' ' What if I don't find what I'm looking for on the Internet?' 'How do I organize the information I'm gathering along the way?' Fortunately, this guide answers all those questions and engages neophytes with a book that takes an entirely fresh approach to the subject. Author Drew Smith has organized the chapters according to the actual process used in genealogical research: Start with yourself, then move on to living family and relatives, and then move backwards in time, generation by generation. Each chapter describes a time period and the kinds of records available for that era, allowing beginners to learn about new types of records just as they need them"--Provided by publisher.

Oggi l'SDSS si è sviluppato in molte aree, in particolare per i servizi medici di emergenza che sono una componente molto importante per i servizi di emergenza autostradali, in particolare nei paesi in via di sviluppo. Al fine di garantire un trasporto sicuro e rapido verso gli ospedali in tutti i casi critici. Inoltre, i GIS sono utilizzati nella gestione delle risorse di trasporto (Transportation Asset Management, TAM), che comprende la pianificazione dei trasporti e la gestione dei servizi di emergenza e aiuta a determinare la misura, l'area, il percorso più breve ottimizzato e l'analisi spaziale. L'obiettivo di questo libro è costruire un modello di Spatial Decision Support System (SDSS) per migliorare i servizi di emergenza sulle autostrade. Non si tratta solo di individuare il percorso più breve, ma di trovare automaticamente la posizione dell'incidente senza l'intervento del fattore umano. L'utilizzo del sistema SDSS consente di raggiungere rapidamente i feriti dal luogo dell'incidente all'ospedale generale più vicino, includendo tutte le diramazioni. Progettare e sviluppare un caso di studio applicando il modello alla capitale dell'Egitto, nella zona del Cairo, in particolare alla Ring Road.

Metaverse, Non-Fungible Tokens (NFTs), Cryptocurrencies, Blockchain, Artificial Intelligence (AI), Service Robots etc. are a rapidly expanding field with an ever-increasing number of terms and community-specific jargon. A new term is not always accompanied by something truly novel. In addition to verbal "pseudo-innuendos" and "crypto-slang" introduced with the intent of attracting attention quickly, there are several significant new developments. The issue with this development is that the risk of "Babylonian language confusion" is growing exponentially.Our observations indicate that this risk is particularly prevalent in the dialogue between science and practice. This book hopes to contribute to the clarification with quick access to all key terms. Obviously, many online marketplaces, platforms, encyclopedias, and glossaries already exist. However, our pre-book analysis has revealed that neither is even close to completion, sometimes with imprecise language and often with contradictory definitions and explanations.This glossary provides quick access for managers, students, and professors alike who are faced with the topics in their daily work. Students may keep track of the web 3.0's numerous terms as they study it. Instructors, teachers, and professors may use it as a guide for a consistent use of Metaverse, NFT, Cryptocurrency, and Blockchain terminology. Although, the more than 1,300 explanations of the individual terms are scientifically based, the focus is on easy understanding of the terms. The authors have made an effort to provide clear and concise definitions, an application-focused perspective, and simple language.

Personnel management acts as the kernel of HRM. It can be stated that HRM is built from the managing employees. The core concept of the management of staff is to get work done from an employee for the salary given. Employees were not granted that much importance in the decision-making system during the Personnel Management period and were not permitted to communicate with higher management. Personnel management restricted to factories and the personal manager's primary concern was to see if everything met with labor laws or not, not much importance was put on employee morale. Employees were only viewed as resources, the organization's responsibility, in addition to being seen as expense & expenditure to the business rather than capital and future asset. The most widely used staff officers are punitive rather than versatile and cooperative with staff. Employee nurturing was not a concern for staff managers and the opinion of workers was overlooked, meaning employee managers rather than recognizing the situation they used to be punitive if the employee made any mistake. (Tutar et al. 2020).Viewpoint of HRM is that, workers are company's most important resources and they regard their employees as value of assets for their organization. In comparison to personal management, empowering workers is a fundamental aspect of HRM. The core notion of managing human resources is seeing what should be provided to an employee to extract the desired job. Employee engagement in decision-making is often welcomed by HR managers and their opinions are most respected. Employee versatility in job and health is an important aspect for HR executives and they show more importance about employee problems. New regulations and enhancement approaches are well supported and easy to enforce by the Hr Manager. The key difference between staff management and human human resources management was the incorporation and strengthening of information technology into HR process and functions for better productivity and time savings. Artificial intelligence and Robots take over many HR roles, ranging from recruiting of staff, research, interviewing and many more.

Defining Intelligence is the basic and foremost requirement of this research. The base of artificial intelligence and multiple intelligence is intelligence which is a broader and wide concept. Intelligence can be said as "The ability to think in abstract or intellectual terms." It is this intellectual concept which separate humans from animals but can be limited. Talking about mammals such as Squirrels, Coyote, otters, and Panda have the tremendous survival ability in the environment where they stay. Precisely stating intelligence is not the word that can describe them but it is the human ability or the notional thinking ability such as usage of different kind of speech sounds, to plot calculus, conversion of music into rhythmic notes, connecting various available colors with emotions, logic implementation, thinking contemplation, moralize, pondering eternity and various other things.

Softwarecost estimation is the forecasting of development effort and development time mandatory needed to develop a software project. It is considered to be the very primary step of software development process and at the same time considered to be the key task as accurate assessments of growth of the current project, its delivery exactness and its cost control can only be achieved once calculated estimation is accurate. And at broader perspective an accurate estimation of a currently developing software project will result in landing the organization in a better schedule of its futuristic software projects too. With due above reason, software effort estimation has received a considerable amount of attention of many researchers from past so many decades. In other words, Software cost estimation is the summation of predictions of both building effort and calendar time used to develop a software project. The building effort includes the summation of working hours and the total of workers included in the process of soft project development. Just from the inception of software project development, organizations of this nature came across to the problem of poor estimations of development effort and development time of software projects.

Over the past two decades, the Internet has transcended human civilization to the information age. Cyberspace has now become a part of our ecosystem, an essential and indispensable element of our life. However, with the rise of Internet users, it has also become a playground of reprobaters who are constantly threatening the computer systems with ever evolving threats. These threats target various computing platforms like PCs, laptops, tablets, mobiles, IoT devices, etc. Security agencies globally are striving hard to combat these threats but fail to keep pace with their rising complexity and variety. Artificial Intelligence (AI), which heralded the growth of smart cognitive systems in the last decade, gives hope to cybersecurity agencies to contain cyber threats. This thesis is a step in this direction. The work done in this thesis is at the intersection of AI and Cybersecurity. The following two sections, 1.1 and 1.2, describe the broad areas covered in the thesis, Cybersecurity, and AI, respectively. Subsequent sections describe the research gaps (1.3), the main contribution of the thesis (1.5), and the thesis organization (1.6).

www.CatherineBosley.comRemember the saying, "image is everything"? Forget that. Instead, today it's "online image is everything" or "social media image is everything." That Google search can make or break you-whether it's you as an individual, a corporation, an association, or a small business. That, combined with the fact that there's incredible pressure and temptation to share everything we do, see, hear, think and feel with the world (we're talking EVERYTHING, ugh!), leaves us with a reality that calls for a new level of navigational skills. Not just to succeed but, more importantly, to simply stay out of harm's way. The kind of harm that didn't even exist not long ago. The kind of harm that, with one keystroke, can cause chaos, destruction, and pain on so many levels. Our day of digital everything lets us connect like never before, and our human instinct is to take advantage of that-connect, connect, connect. That also makes us vulnerable to being exposed like never before in ways we never imagined and are still discovering. All it takes is one Tweet, share, or forward gone wrong, an impulsive social media post or picture, a misinterpreted email or text-one poor choice, online or off, to set scandal into motion. No one, no company, no organization is immune. Bottom line, there's very little room for a "what was I thinking?" moment, online or off, before it could become attached to you forever and for all to see, one mouse click away. The digital world can turn a real-life world upside down in a virtual split second. It happens every day.Award-winning news anchor Catherine Bosley knows all about it. Her own story of online scandal got her invited to appear on shows like Good Morning America, Oprah, and Inside Edition. It's the motivation for the cautionary yet inspirational, Forever and For All to See: How to Avoid a Social Media Scandal and How to Survive One. While she's a perfect example of how such a nightmare can happen to anyone or any entity, she's all about the good news here. It is survivable. She's living proof. Also, she'll tell you there are strategic ways to avoid the kind of technology-induced tumult too many are finding themselves dealing with every day. The insight she shares includes actionable steps on how to better protect yourself, your loved ones, and even your business or organization from today's new brand of scandal-humiliation social media style. You'll learn the top five areas where you need to be especially mindful in your everyday life, again, online and off. More importantly, she provides guidance on how to rise above if it happens to you. That includes, on the technical side, advice from the experts regarding online reputation management and, on the legal side, insight from contributor Ian Corzine (aka, Your Social Media Lawyer). She also addresses the emotional side by sharing her P.A.C.T. strategy and advice from mental health experts who recognize the pain and brainwashing effect of online cruelty-no matter where you are in life. In addition to Catherine's story, these pages are chock-full of true stories of the digital world turning people's real-life worlds upside down. You'll be left with an eye-opening perspective of social media scandal. Most importantly, you'll be armed with the kind of insight you'll want to share with everyone you know, from your loved ones to your colleagues and staff.

The word "hacker" has matured through time within the Internet universe. The word actually predates the Internet.However, even though maturity implies change, it is not always an improvement.Three decades ago, it meant "curious", "tinkerer", and nowadays it mostly means "criminal", which is clearly not better.Written for techies and non-techies alike, this book is a journey through the origin of the word "hacker", and the way in which its meaning has changed since and throughout last century, with first-person examples, thoughts, and a focus on what can, and will (or not) happen next.
