Do school administrators plan to give students time off for snow
days this year/in the coming school years? Or has 2020's
(relatively) successful implementation of remote-learning
rendered snow days unnecessary going forward? What is your local
school or board of education's take on the issue? Plus: While
cancelling school is often a logistical decision -- made, for
instance, to account for dangerous roads -- is there an argument
that students/teachers deserve snow days even when they COULD
pull off class from home? Are snow days potentially necessary
for health? (Extra sleep, time outside, change of scenery, etc.)

Teachers, school administrators, parents ... all answers

I'm working on a feature story about how to align cybersecurity
strategies and initiatives with broader organizational business
goals. I'm looking for real-world advice and experiences from
CISOs and other on-the-ground security professionals. No
vendors, please, ***unless*** they can comment on how they
manage their own internal security programs. I'm also interested
in expert commentary from independent analysts.
Feel free to comment on one, some or all of the below
questions... or I'm happy to schedule a time to chat over the
phone. Thanks!
* How can a CISO or other cybersecurity leader align their
security strategy with the business' goals? What skills or
personality traits set a CISO or other security leader up for
success in this area (aligning security initiatives with desired
business outcomes)?
* In the typical enterprise, do you think security strategy is
effectively aligned with the business? Or is this a common pain
point? Why is does it matter, and what are the implications for
organizational success?
* In your experience, what's the biggest challenge when it
comes to aligning security with the business?
* On a more nitty-gritty level, do you have any practical
advice for managing 1.) budgets 2.) people 3.) processes 4.)
technology? And/or any other tips for aligning security with
business objectives?
* Any on-the-ground anecdotes or experiences re: aligning
security with business goals?
* Anything else you want to add?
Requirements:
* In-the-field security leaders or independent analysts
* No vendors, please, ***unless*** commenting on how they
manage their own internal security programs... or they have a
cybersecurity leader who can comment on past professional
experiences in the enterprise (non-vendor) space

Fun backyard games you can play in summer 2021. This article

QUESTIONS:
1. Why is it a good idea to invest in backyard games, especially
if you have a backyard with ample space? What are the benefits

Canadians enjoy these days. Be sure to talk about cornhole,
badminton, ladderball and ring toss games. 3. Has the popularity

Deadline: 1:00 PM EST - 22 December
Query:
Hello. My name is Erik Martin with The Mortgage Reports website
(www.themortgagereports.com). I'm looking to interview real
estate attorneys, lending experts, financial professionals, tax
experts, real estate faculty, and other experts for the
following story:
Is a "Report of Available Funds" letter sent from a lender a
scam? This article will examine how some borrowers are receiving
letters from lenders attempting to get them to refinance/tap
equity on an FHA or VA loan (lender names that show up most
often are The Federal Savings Bank, and JFQ). This story will
suggest how homeowners should interpret and respond to these
letters, which may seem like unsolicited cash-out refinance
offers they should be wary of (for more information/examples,
visit https://tinyurl.com/ycc6cjed,
https://tinyurl.com/y7q4pl32, https://tinyurl.com/ya5ec8jk,
https://tinyurl.com/y7afvwts).
Note that I can only accept full-sentence written responses
(which I can use as quotes) for this article. My deadline for
written answers to these questions is noon central, Tuesday,
December 22, 2020.
QUESTIONS: 1. What does a "Report of available funds"-type
letter mean? How should homeowners interpret this kind of
unsolicited letter/message from a lender? 2. Why do lenders send
letters like this? (E.g., they may be trying to entice existing
homeowners into refinancing, even if they are not the borrower's
current lender) 3. What are "available funds" or "accessible
funds"? What do these terms mean in these kinds of letters? 4.
What should a borrower do if they receive a "Report of available
funds"-type letter or message (e.g., ignore, investigate and
pursue the offer, file a complaint [if so, how?]], etc.)? 5. How
can/should borrowers tap into their home equity safely? (E.g.,
pursue a cash-out refi option, never take an unsolicited offer
at face value, etc.)? 6. What other refinance options can a
borrower pursue here (e.g., they can refinance for a lower
rate/payment and leave their home equity totally untouched if
they want, they can pursue an FHA Streamline or VA IRRRL, etc.)?
7. Any other thoughts, tips, or suggestions on this topic? 8.
What is your full name, title, company, city/state location, and
email address?

Smartphones may or may not be evil - depending on whom you ask.
Some studies show people spend too much time on their phones
which negatively impacts their mental health. Others claim it's
how people feel about their use more than the use itself.
A recent study in PLOS found that "smartphone screen time was
correlated with choosing smaller immediate over larger delayed
rewards and that usage of social media and gaming apps predicted
delay discounting. Additionally, smartphone use was negatively
correlated with self-control but not correlated with
consideration of future consequences."
It was a small sample with usage data from 101 participants,
however anything smartphone related is interesting to me. Their
conclusion is "smartphone use and impulsive decision-making go
hand in hand and that engagement with these devices needs to be
critically examined by researchers to guide prudent behavior."

-What have been some of the limitations of traditional data lake
architectures, particularly those relevant to thinking about the
benefits of data fabrics? -What are some of the most important
ways they can make it easier to reuse data across different
analytics and applications? -How would you break down the
different types of approaches to using data fabrics to improve
data lakes and the pros and cons of each approach? -What are
some of the top new benefits data lakes can provide as a result
of data fabrics?
Also, I am looking for users to weigh in on the following:
-What's one important use case you have worked on where you were
able to improve the value of a data lake using a data fabric.
Could you elaborate on what was involved in setting it up, some
of the challenges you encountered, benefits, and lessons you
learned along the way? -How do you use a data fabric to model
data in a way that's useful for different use cases? How does
thinking about using the data fabric to create a semantic model
of the data change based on the type of use case?
