Safe - Compile and execute code in restricted compartments
use Safe;
$compartment = new Safe;
$compartment->permit(qw(time sort :browse));
$result = $compartment->reval($unsafe_code);
The Safe extension module allows the creation of compartments in which perl code can be evaluated. Each compartment has
The "root" of the namespace (i.e. "main::") is changed to a different package and code evaluated in the compartment cannot refer to variables outside this namespace, even with run-time glob lookups and other tricks.
Code which is compiled outside the compartment can choose to place variables into (or share variables with) the compartment's namespace and only that data will be visible to code evaluated in the compartment.
By default, the only variables shared with compartments are the "underscore" variables $_ and @_ (and, technically, the less frequently used %_, the _ filehandle and so on). This is because otherwise perl operators which default to $_ will not work and neither will the assignment of arguments to @_ on subroutine entry.
Each compartment has an associated "operator mask". Recall that perl code is compiled into an internal format before execution. Evaluating perl code (e.g. via "eval" or "do 'file'") causes the code to be compiled into an internal format and then, provided there was no error in the compilation, executed. Code evaluated in a compartment compiles subject to the compartment's operator mask. Attempting to evaluate code in a compartment which contains a masked operator will cause the compilation to fail with an error. The code will not be executed.
The default operator mask for a newly created compartment is the ':default' optag.
It is important that you read the Opcode module documentation for more information, especially for detailed definitions of opnames, optags and opsets.
Since it is only at the compilation stage that the operator mask applies, controlled access to potentially unsafe operations can be achieved by having a handle to a wrapper subroutine (written outside the compartment) placed into the compartment. For example,
$cpt = new Safe;
sub wrapper {
# vet arguments and perform potentially unsafe operations
The authors make no warranty, implied or otherwise, about the suitability of this software for safety or security purposes.
The authors shall not in any case be liable for special, incidental, consequential, indirect or other similar damages arising from the use of this software.
Your mileage will vary. If in any doubt do not use it.
To create a new compartment, use
$cpt = new Safe;
Optional argument is (NAMESPACE), where NAMESPACE is the root namespace to use for the compartment (defaults to "Safe::Root0", incremented for each new compartment).
Note that version 1.00 of the Safe module supported a second optional parameter, MASK. That functionality has been withdrawn pending deeper consideration. Use the permit and deny methods described below.
The following methods can then be used on the compartment object returned by the above constructor. The object argument is implicit in each case.
Permit the listed operators to be used when compiling code in the compartment (in addition to any operators already permitted).
You can list opcodes by names, or use a tag name; see "Predefined Opcode Tags" in Opcode.
Permit only the listed operators to be used when compiling code in the compartment (no other operators are permitted).
Deny the listed operators from being used when compiling code in the compartment (other operators may still be permitted).
Deny only the listed operators from being used when compiling code in the compartment (all other operators will be permitted, so you probably don't want to use this method).
The trap and untrap methods are synonyms for deny and permit respectfully.
This shares the variable(s) in the argument list with the compartment. This is almost identical to exporting variables using the Exporter module.
Each NAME must be the name of a non-lexical variable, typically with the leading type identifier included. A bareword is treated as a function name.
Examples of legal names are '$foo' for a scalar, '@foo' for an array, '%foo' for a hash, '&foo' or 'foo' for a subroutine and '*foo' for a glob (i.e. all symbol table entries associated with "foo", including scalar, array, hash, sub and filehandle).
Each NAME is assumed to be in the calling package. See share_from for an alternative method (which share
This method is similar to share() but allows you to explicitly name the package that symbols should be shared from. The symbol names (including type characters) are supplied as an array reference.
$safe->share_from('main', [ '$foo', '%bar', 'func' ]);
Names can include package names, which are relative to the specified PACKAGE. So these two calls have the same effect:
$safe->share_from('Scalar::Util', [ 'reftype' ]);
$safe->share_from('main', [ 'Scalar::Util::reftype' ]);
This returns a glob reference for the symbol table entry of VARNAME in the package of the compartment. VARNAME must be the name of a variable without any leading type marker. For example:
${$cpt->varglob('foo')} = "Hello world";
has the same effect as:
$cpt = new Safe 'Root';
$Root::foo = "Hello world";
but avoids the need to know $cpt's package name.
This evaluates STRING as perl code inside the compartment.
The code can only see the compartment's namespace (as returned by the root method). The compartment's root package appears to be the main::
package to the code inside the compartment.
Any attempt by the code in STRING to use an operator which is not permitted by the compartment will cause an error (at run-time of the main program but at compile-time for the code in STRING). The error is of the form "'%s' trapped by operation mask...".
If an operation is trapped in this way, then the code in STRING will not be executed. If such a trapped operation occurs or any other compile-time or return error, then $@ is set to the error message, just as with an eval().
If there is no error, then the method returns the value of the last expression evaluated, or a return statement may be used, just as with subroutines and eval(). The context (list or scalar) is determined by the caller as usual.
If the return value of reval() is (or contains) any code reference, those code references are wrapped to be themselves executed always in the compartment. See "wrap_code_refs_within".
The formerly undocumented STRICT argument sets strictness: if true 'use strict;' is used, otherwise it uses 'no strict;'. Note: if STRICT is omitted 'no strict;' is the default.
Some points to note:
If the entereval op is permitted then the code can use eval "..." to 'hide' code which might use denied ops. This is not a major problem since when the code tries to execute the eval it will fail because the opmask is still in effect. However this technique would allow clever, and possibly harmful, code to 'probe' the boundaries of what is possible.
Any string eval which is executed by code executing in a compartment, or by code called from code executing in a compartment, will be eval'd in the namespace of the compartment. This is potentially a serious problem.
Consider a function foo() in package pkg compiled outside a compartment but shared with it. Assume the compartment has a root package called 'Root'. If foo() contains an eval statement like eval '$foo = 1' then, normally, $pkg::foo will be set to 1. If foo() is called from the compartment (by whatever means) then instead of setting $pkg::foo, the eval will actually set $Root::pkg::foo.
This can easily be demonstrated by using a module, such as the Socket module, which uses eval "..." as part of an AUTOLOAD function. You can 'use' the module outside the compartment and share an (autoloaded) function with the compartment. If an autoload is triggered by code in the compartment, or by any code anywhere that is called by any means from the compartment, then the eval in the Socket module's AUTOLOAD function happens in the namespace of the compartment. Any variables created or used by the eval'd code are now under the control of the code in the compartment.
A similar effect applies to all runtime symbol lookups in code called from a compartment but not compiled within it.
This evaluates the contents of file FILENAME inside the compartment. See above documentation on the reval method for further details.
This method returns the name of the package that is the root of the compartment's namespace.
Note that this behaviour differs from version 1.00 of the Safe module where the root module could be used to change the namespace. That functionality has been withdrawn pending deeper consideration.
This is a get-or-set method for the compartment's operator mask.
With no MASK argument present, it returns the current operator mask of the compartment.
With the MASK argument present, it sets the operator mask for the compartment (equivalent to calling the deny_only method).
Returns a reference to an anonymous subroutine that, when executed, will call CODEREF with the Safe compartment 'in effect'. In other words, with the package namespace adjusted and the opmask enabled.
Note that the opmask doesn't affect the already compiled code, it only affects any further compilation that the already compiled code may try to perform.
This is particularly useful when applied to code references returned from reval().
(It also provides a kind of workaround for RT#60374: "Safe.pm sort {} bug with -Dusethreads". See http://rt.perl.org/rt3//Public/Bug/Display.html?id=60374 for much more detail.)
Wraps any CODE references found within the arguments by replacing each with the result of calling "wrap_code_ref" on the CODE reference. Any ARRAY or HASH references in the arguments are inspected recursively.
Returns nothing.
This section is just an outline of some of the things code in a compartment might do (intentionally or unintentionally) which can have an effect outside the compartment.
Consuming all (or nearly all) available memory.
Causing infinite loops etc.
Copying private information out of your system. Even something as simple as your user name is of value to others. Much useful information could be gleaned from your environment variables for example.
Causing signals (especially SIGFPE and SIGALARM) to affect your process.
Setting up a signal handler will need to be carefully considered and controlled. What mask is in effect when a signal handler gets called? If a user can get an imported function to get an exception and call the user's signal handler, does that user's restricted mask get re-instated before the handler is called? Does an imported handler get called with its original mask or the user's one?
Ops such as chdir obviously effect the process as a whole and not just the code in the compartment. Ops such as rand and srand have a similar but more subtle effect.
Originally designed and implemented by Malcolm Beattie.
Reworked to use the Opcode module and other changes added by Tim Bunce.

Blackbaud Inc - BLKB Stock Forecast
Last 6 & 12 Months Return on Investment: -11.16% & 8.23%
Current Price: | Industry: Technology | Market Cap: $4.0B | Next Earnings Release: 30 Jul 2024
Institutional Analysts' Forecast
Moderate Buy
Based on 12 Institutional Analyst Ratings where 3% are on Strong Buy, 41.67% on Moderate Buy, 33.33% on Hold, 0.00% on Sell and 0.00% on Strong Sell.
What is Analyst Rating & Why is it important?
An analyst rating is an assessment provided by financial analysts regarding the future performance of a stock or a security. These ratings are based on research conducted by financial experts who analyze the financials, market conditions, and potential risks associated with the company. Common ratings include "Buy," "Hold," "Sell," along with variations like "Strong Buy" or "Strong Sell." Some firms use numerical scales or other terminologies like "Outperform," "Market Perform," "Underperform," etc.
Why is Analyst Rating Important?
Investment Guidance: Analyst ratings provide investors with guidance on the potential performance of a stock relative to market conditions and future earnings expectations. These ratings can influence investment decisions by suggesting whether to buy, hold, or sell a stock.
Expert Insights: Since ratings are based on detailed analyses by financial experts who have deep knowledge of industry trends, market dynamics, and company fundamentals, they offer valuable insights that might not be readily apparent to the general public.
Market Sentiment: Analyst ratings can impact market sentiment and influence the market price of a stock. For example, a series of upgraded ratings can lead to increased investor interest and a rise in the stock's price.
Performance Benchmarks: They help investors gauge a stock's potential performance against its peers or the broader market. Analysts often compare companies within the same industry to determine which are likely to outperform.
Risk Assessment: Ratings can signal the level of risk associated with an investment. Higher-risk stocks might be rated as "Sell" due to unstable financials or poor growth prospects, while lower-risk stocks with stable earnings could receive a "Buy" or "Strong Buy" rating.
Analyst ratings, while useful, should not be the sole factor in making investment decisions. They represent opinions and can be subject to biases or based on outdated information if market conditions change rapidly. Therefore, they should be considered alongside other fundamental and technical analyses and aligned with personal financial goals and risk tolerance.
BLKB Price Target & Predictions
High | Median | Low |
$95.28 | $85.68 | $70.70 |
Price Target: $84.79
Based on 8 Analysts price targets, BLKB's price prediction is High: $95.28, Median: 85.68, Low: $70.70, which makes the average price target to be $84.79.
What is Analyst Price Target & Why is it important?
An analysts' price target is a projection of the future price level of a stock as forecasted by financial analysts. This target is based on assumptions about the company's future business performance and is typically set within a specific time frame, such as 12 or 18 months. Price targets are derived from detailed analyses including earnings forecasts, market trends, competitive landscape, and macroeconomic conditions.
Why is Analysts' Price Target Important?
Investment Decisions: Price targets provide investors with an expectation of what a stock could be worth in the future, guiding buy, sell, or hold decisions. A stock trading below its target price may be seen as undervalued, potentially representing a buying opportunity.
Benchmarking Expectations: They serve as a benchmark for measuring the performance of a stock against market expectations. Investors and analysts use these targets to assess whether a stock is performing as expected when reviewed periodically.
Market Sentiment: Adjustments to price targets and changes in the number of analysts covering a stock can influence market sentiment and impact stock prices. An increase in a price target can boost investor confidence, while a decrease can lead to a sell-off.
Evaluating Analyst Sentiment: Price targets reflect the collective sentiment of the analyst community regarding a stock. Multiple analysts raising their price targets might indicate bullish sentiment, whereas cuts in price targets could suggest bearish views.
Risk Management: Understanding where analysts believe a stock price will go can help investors manage risk by setting expectations for potential gains or losses. This can be crucial in portfolio management and risk assessment strategies.
While analysts' price targets can offer valuable insights, they should not be used in isolation. These targets are based on projections that may or may not come to fruition due to changing market conditions or unforeseen company developments. Therefore, they should be considered as part of a broader investment analysis.
Insider Sentiment
Very Negative
Insider Sentiment is based on Insider Transactions. Insider sentiment gives investors a glimpse at what the executives are thinking about the stock price and valuation in the near future.
What is Insider Sentiment & Why is it important?
Insider sentiment refers to the general outlook or attitude of a company's insiders—such as executives, directors, and large shareholders—towards the future prospects of the company, as inferred from their trading activities in the company's stocks. This sentiment is often analyzed through the transactions reported by insiders, such as buys, sells, and option exercises.
Why is Insider Sentiment Important?
Indication of Confidence: Insider trading activity can serve as an indicator of insiders' confidence in the company's future. For example, a high volume of insider buying might suggest that insiders believe the stock is undervalued or that strong future performance is anticipated.
Additional Data Point for Investors: Investors often look at insider sentiment as one of many factors in their decision-making process. Positive insider sentiment, indicated by purchases, might encourage investors to also buy shares.
Early Warning System: Significant selling by insiders may raise a red flag for potential investors and could indicate underlying problems within the company that have not yet become public.
Alignment of Interests: Tracking whether insiders are buying or selling can help ensure that the interests of the executives and directors are aligned with those of the shareholders. If insiders hold a substantial amount of stock, they are likely to act in the best interests of the company.
Regulatory Compliance: Monitoring insider transactions is also important for regulatory reasons. It ensures transparency and fairness in the market, preventing illegal practices such as insider trading based on non-public information.
Despite its benefits, insider sentiment should not be the sole factor considered by investors. Insider trading data can be misinterpreted, and insiders might buy or sell stocks for reasons unrelated to company performance, such as personal financial needs. Therefore, it should be considered alongside other fundamental and technical analysis tools.

What are Insider Transactions & Why are they important?
Insider transactions refer to the buying, selling, or other forms of trading of a company's stocks by its insiders—executives, directors, and other stakeholders who have unique access to the company's confidential information. These transactions are required to be reported to regulatory authorities such as the SEC in the United States to ensure transparency and prevent insider trading based on non-public, material information.
Why are Insider Transactions Important?
Indicator of Corporate Health: Insider transactions are often viewed as a barometer for a company's health and future prospects. For example, a high volume of insider buying might indicate that insiders believe the stock is undervalued or that positive developments are on the horizon.
Market Confidence: Investors may interpret active insider buying as a positive sign that those with the closest knowledge of the company are confident in its future. This can boost overall market confidence in the stock.
Risk Management: Conversely, significant insider selling, unless for well-disclosed reasons such as personal financial management, could signal potential internal issues or a perceived peak in the company's valuation.
Regulatory Compliance: Monitoring insider transactions helps ensure compliance with securities laws and regulations designed to prevent illegal insider trading. It provides a level playing field for all investors and upholds market integrity.
Investment Strategy: Some investors use insider transaction patterns as part of their strategy, under the assumption that insiders might have better insights into the company's future than ordinary investors. Following these patterns, however, should be done cautiously and as part of a broader investment analysis.
While insider transactions provide valuable insights, they need careful interpretation and should not be the sole basis for investment decisions. It's crucial for investors to consider wider financial contexts and market conditions when evaluating the significance of insider behaviors.
BLKB's Earnings/EPS Forecast
High | Average | Low |
$1.27 | $1.14 | $1.05 |
Earnings Estimate: $1.14
Based on 7 Analysts' estimates for the period 2024-09-30, BLKB's estimated EPS is High: $1.27, and Low: $1.05, which makes the average EPS forecast to be $1.14.
What is Earnings Estimate & Why is it important?
An Earnings or EPS (Earnings Per Share) Estimate is a forecast of a company's profitability for a specific period in the future, usually issued by professional financial analysts. This estimate is calculated based on projected company performance, industry trends, economic conditions, and other relevant factors. EPS is particularly significant as it provides a direct insight into a company's profitability on a per-share basis, making it easier for investors to compare profitability across companies and industries.
Why is Earnings/EPS Estimate Important?
Investment Decisions: Earnings estimates are crucial for investors as they form the basis for various investment decisions and valuation models, including the price-earnings ratio, which is a common metric for assessing the value of a stock.
Market Sentiment: Changes in earnings estimates can significantly affect the market price of a stock. For instance, if analysts upwardly revise a company's earnings estimates, it can lead to an increase in stock price and vice versa.
Company Valuation: Analysts and investors use earnings estimates to gauge a company's future profitability and thus its overall valuation. Higher earnings estimates can raise a company's valuation due to anticipated growth in profits.
Performance Measurement: Earnings estimates serve as a benchmark for measuring a company's performance. If a company consistently beats estimates, it is seen as well managed and financially stable, which can enhance investor confidence.
Risk Assessment: By evaluating the potential deviations from earnings estimates, investors can assess the risk associated with an investment. Large variances between actual earnings and estimates may indicate underlying issues or volatility, impacting investment decisions.
While earnings estimates are a fundamental tool in investment analysis, they are based on forecasts and assumptions that may not always hold true. Therefore, they should be used in conjunction with other financial metrics and qualitative information about the company and industry.
BLKB's Revenue Forecast
High | Average | Low |
Revenue Estimate: $302.25M
Based on 7 Analysts, BLKB's estimated Revenue for the period,2024-09-30, is between a high of $315M, and a low of $288.12M, which makes the average Revenue forecast to be $302.25M.
What is Revenue Estimate & Why is it important?
A Revenue Estimate is a projection of how much income a company is expected to generate in a future period. These estimates are typically made by financial analysts and are based on a variety of factors, including past revenue performance, industry trends, market conditions, and the company's own forward guidance. Revenue estimates are a crucial part of financial modeling and are used to assess a company's future financial health.
Why is Revenue Estimate Important?
Financial Planning and Analysis: Revenue estimates are vital for companies to forecast future cash flows and plan budgets effectively. They help management make informed decisions about resource allocation, capital expenditures, and strategic planning.
Investor Expectations: Investors use revenue estimates to gauge a company's potential for growth. Consistently meeting or exceeding revenue estimates can significantly enhance investor confidence, while frequent shortfalls may raise concerns about the company's future prospects.
Market Valuation: Revenue growth is a key indicator of a company's performance and potential. Analysts and investors use revenue estimates to value stocks, with higher growth often leading to higher stock prices.
Comparative Analysis: Comparing actual revenues with estimates can provide insights into how well a company is performing against market expectations. This comparison can influence stock market performance, as it reflects the company's operational efficiency and market demand for its products or services.
Benchmarking: Revenue estimates allow stakeholders to benchmark a company against its peers. By analyzing how companies stack up against each other in terms of expected revenue growth, stakeholders can identify leaders and laggards within an industry.
While revenue estimates are crucial, they should be interpreted with caution. They are based on assumptions that may or may not hold true, and unforeseen factors can significantly impact actual revenues. Thus, they should be considered as part of a broader analysis that includes other financial metrics and market factors.
BLKB's EBITDA Forecast/Estimate
High | Average | Low |
EBITDA Estimate: $105.45M
Based on 5 Analysts, BLKB's EBITDA estimate for the period, 2024-09-30 is between a high of $108.56M, and low of $98.941M, which makes the average to be $105.45M.
What is EBITDA Estimate & Why is it important?
An EBITDA (Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation, and Amortization) Estimate is a forecast of a company's operating performance without the impact of financial accounting decisions. It focuses on the earnings from regular business operations before the effects of capital structure, tax strategies, and non-cash accounting items like depreciation and amortization are considered. EBITDA estimates are developed based on projected business activities, economic conditions, and industry-specific factors affecting the company's operations.
Why is EBITDA Estimate Important?
Operational Profitability: EBITDA provides investors with insight into a company's core operational efficiency and its ability to generate profit from business activities. It is particularly useful in comparing the profitability of companies within the same industry.
Cash Flow Analysis: Because it excludes non-cash expenses like depreciation and amortization, EBITDA can serve as a proxy for the cash generated from business operations, helping investors assess the liquidity and financial health of a company.
Investment Comparisons: EBITDA normalizes for differences in capital structure, taxation, and fixed asset investment, allowing for more equitable comparisons across companies and industries. This makes it a valuable tool for investors considering diversification across different sectors.
Valuation Metric: EBITDA is widely used in various valuation methods, including enterprise value multiples and comparative analysis. A higher EBITDA estimate can indicate a higher valuation, making a company potentially more attractive to investors.
Leverage and Financial Risk: EBITDA is a key metric used by credit rating agencies and lenders to evaluate a company's ability to service debt. Higher EBITDA estimates may suggest lower financial risk and better debt management capacity.
While EBITDA offers several insights into the financial stability and efficiency of a company, it should not be used in isolation. Since it does not account for capital expenditures or changes in working capital, it should be complemented with other financial metrics to get a full picture of a company's financial health.

What is Earnings/EPS Surprises & Why is it important?
Earnings or EPS (Earnings Per Share) Surprises occur when a company's actual reported earnings differ from analysts' consensus estimates. A positive surprise occurs when actual earnings are higher than estimates, while a negative surprise occurs when they are lower. Analysts use historical data, industry trends, and economic conditions to forecast a company's earnings, and these estimates are closely watched by investors.
Why are Earnings/EPS Surprises Important?
Market Reaction: Earnings surprises can significantly affect a company's stock price immediately after the announcement. Positive surprises often lead to an increase in stock price, while negative surprises can cause a decrease. This immediate impact reflects the market's response to new, substantive information about a company's financial health.
Investor Confidence: Consistent positive earnings surprises can enhance investor confidence and perception of the management's ability to forecast and execute business strategies effectively. Conversely, repeated negative surprises may erode trust and suggest operational or forecasting issues.
Performance Benchmark: Analysts and investors closely monitor earnings surprises as they benchmark a company's performance against market expectations. Surprises can lead to changes in analyst ratings and adjustments in market valuation, influencing subsequent investor behavior.
Future Expectations: Regular earnings surprises, either positive or negative, can lead to revisions in future earnings estimates. This can alter long-term investment perspectives and strategies, as the market recalibrates its expectations based on new performance indicators.
Corporate Strategy Insights: Analyzing the reasons behind earnings surprises can provide insights into a company's operational challenges or advantages. For instance, a positive surprise may indicate more efficient operations or capturing of a larger market share, while a negative surprise might highlight cost management issues or declining sales.
Earnings surprises are a fundamental metric used by investors to gauge a company's short-term performance relative to market expectations. While important, they should be interpreted in the context of other financial and operational measures to fully understand a company's overall health and trajectory.

You Can View 6 Homes In One Afternoon!
The Sunday Tour of Homes is a quick and easy way to preview several homes in a couple of hours without any pressure or hassle.
The Sunday Tour of Homes is a great way to get an overview of what homes and features are available in your price range.
Here's how it works: Each Sunday, we conduct one or two tours of six homes each. The tours run between 1:00 and 3:15 pm, and you can meet us at any home on either tour. Feel free to drive by the homes before their scheduled tour times, but once the tour starts, don't be late for the one(s) you want to preview. There will be lots of other buyers on the tour, and show times are exact.
Our Sunday Tour is Very Different Than a Traditional Open House
Traditional open houses are sometimes uncomfortable for both buyers and sellers because you've often got a hovering agent watching your every move. Most importantly, they're NOT very effective at selling homes either. In fact, according to industry statistics, less than 1% of homes are sold as a result of a traditional open house. That's why we don't do them.
In contrast, our well-organized and efficient Sunday Tours are much more convenient and productive for both buyers and sellers. We found that most buyers can determine within a very short time-frame whether or not they're interested in a home they've previewed.
If you see a home on the tour that you're interested in, a second private showing can easily be scheduled for you (often later in the same day). See you this Sunday!
For more information on this week's tour(s), please complete the form on this page, or contact us directly!

What Is An Eyelid Twitch?
Myokymia, more commonly known as an eyelid twitch, occurs when the eyelid muscles spasm uncontrollably. This sensation is generally felt in either the upper or lower eyelid of one eye.
An eyelid twitch can develop for a number of reasons, and can last anywhere from a few moments to several days, depending on the underlying cause.
Eyelid twitches are usually nothing to worry about, though persistent eyelid spasms can signal a more serious underlying condition.
What Causes Eyelid Twitching?
There are a range of factors that could be causing your eyelid to twitch, including:
This is the most common cause. Any type of physical or mental stress leads to the release of cortisol, a steroid hormone in the body that acts as a stimulant and puts your body into "flight or fight" mode. It can affect the nervous system in uncharacteristic ways, including making the nerves stimulate your muscles to twitch.
Have you stayed awake later than usual, or are you juggling work and family commitments? Your eyelid twitch may be a sign that your body is craving a few more hours of rest and shut eye.
Itchy, watery, irritated eyes can cause eyelid spasms.
Dry eyes.
Dry, sore eyes may sometimes lead to an eyelid twitch.
Eye strain.
Eye muscle fatigue from prolonged reading or using a digital device can lead to blurry or double vision, dry eyes, headaches and, sometimes, an eyelid twitch.
Consuming too much caffeine can over-stimulate your mind and body, including the muscles in your eyes.
Similar to caffeine, excessive alcohol intake can have stimulating effects on your eye muscles.
Nutrient deficiencies.
According to research, a deficiency in vitamins B12 or D, or magnesium, or other electrolyte imbalance can cause an eyelid twitch.
This rare eye condition is caused by a neurological problem that leads to uncontrollable facial and eyelid spasms that generally worsen over time.These spasms may also cause an increase in blink rate and intensity.
Neurological disease.
Although uncommon, an eyelid twitch can be a symptom of multiple sclerosis (MS), Parkinson's disease or Bell's palsy.
How to Stop Your Eye Twitch
- Schedule an eye exam to find out what may be causing your eyelid twitch. Your eye doctor may prescribe glasses to relieve eye strain, or recommend dry eye treatments, Botox injections or oral medication to treat the underlying problem.
- Practice stress-relieving activities such as yoga and deep breathing exercises, or simply take some time out of your day to relax.
- Use eye drops to alleviate eye allergies or dry eye symptoms.
- Take frequent breaks from the screen and consider wearing computer glasses to reduce eye strain.
- Limit caffeine and alcohol consumption to determine if these stimulants may be the cause of your eyelid twitch.
- Speak with your physician to find out if you can benefit from taking nutritional supplements and to rule out a neurological disorder, especially if other symptoms are present.
Although an eye twitch is generally not a cause for concern, if it persists for longer than a few days or you notice any changes to your vision, contact Eric Neader, O. D. at Optic Nerve Polaris today to schedule an eye exam.
What is dry eye syndrome?
Dry eye syndrome (DES) is a chronic condition that occurs when your eyes don't produce enough tears or the quality of your tear film is compromised. This results in a range of symptoms that may include dry, itchy, irritated eyes, and sometimes eye twitches. While mild DES can often be alleviated temporarily with over-the-counter lubricating eye drops, moderate to severe DES generally requires specialized in-office treatments.
How can I relieve eye strain after prolonged screen time?
Digital eye strain, also known as computer vision syndrome, can cause a host of uncomfortable symptoms, including headaches, eye fatigue, dry eyes and blurry vision. Computer vision syndrome may cause your eyelid to twitch.
If limiting screen time isn't practical on a daily basis, try to follow the 20-20-20 rule: every 20 minutes, look at something around 20 feet away for at least 20 seconds. It is also important to remember to blink frequently and to close your eyes completely. Lastly, speak to your optometrist about wearing computer glasses while you work, as they are designed to eliminate glare from the screen, and reduce eye strain.

Mrs. Poland, We really appreciate you taking the time yesterday on a holiday to meet Parker! Thank you again for the thoughtful transition.
Mrs. Poland, The boys had a really good summer. You all did such a great job with selecting amazing camp counselors, coordinating everything, and just ensuring they all had a safe summer. Thank you,
Mrs. Poland, I got a phone call from Sam right after his assessment and he was all smiles and happiness. I couldn't be more relieved. What a complete 180 from getting him out the door to go. I could not be more grateful and relieved that it ended up being a positive experience for him. Thank you!!!! See you next week at the open house! :)
Hi Mrs. Poland, I just wanted to say thank you for a great summer. It was Mads' first time at Glenwood and he loved it! We look forward to returning next summer. Have a great year!
I read to these friends every Tuesday and they are the most polite, caring and attentive children for this age group that I have ever worked with.
Love the place, they treat my kids like family.
When Mrs. Poland gave me a tour of GCDS, I felt like she was the owner of the school. Her compassion shown through.
Being a resident of Columbia, it was refreshing to place my child at Summer Adventures Camp.
It was refreshing to have my child at Summer Adventures Camp on 40 wooded acres.
Having a class size of only 6 is why my child goes to GCDS.
We want to thank you for your hard work in creating engaging lessons and meeting with students every day. As a teacher, I know how difficult it is to facilitate meaningful interaction with students in the current circumstances. Evelyn looks forward to circle time and loves watching your videos every day.
Scott and Katherine
I've said it before to Mrs. Poland, but I'll say it again...my kids LOVE camp. I asked Ollie all kinds of questions on Saturday about it and he was getting very excited about everything he was telling me. He loves lunch outside. He also told me this weekend that he hurt his leg, but it was ok, Mrs. Harp would clean it and make it better at camp. Vivian usually dreads the idea of swim lessons, but because of camp, she thinks maybe she could handle swim lessons, and when I ask her if there is anything she doesn't like at camp, she told me she likes everything! Thank you for all of your hard work!
I can't believe we're already signing up for the last week :( We are all so sad to see camp ending after next week. The kids really enjoyed it - they loved the activities and their teachers. Thanks for putting on a great camp, especially considering the pandemic!
Ms. Poland, Following up with you via email after our parent/teacher conference last night. We want to thank you and the entire staff at Glenwood Country Day School (GCDS) for enduring the risk of the current pandemic by providing in-person education to our daughter. This summer, she was a rising Kindergarten student with learning delays with her speech. The virtual experience of the Spring of 2020 turned her off from learning and we saw her regress. We made the decision to enroll her in GCDS's Kindergarten program in the Fall of 2020 and it was the best decision we ever made. Our little girl, who was struggling with learning and turned off from the concept of online school, is now flourishing. Every day she is excited to go to school and most importantly her learning and comprehension is on par with other Kindergarten students. The other night, she read a sight word book to us and the look of pure joy and satisfaction on her face was something we will never forget. We are tremendously grateful to you and the rest of the GCDS staff for helping our daughter find her confidence and desire to learn. With many thanks, Matt & Tess Wiley
Matt and Tess
Thank you for an amazing school year- the kids had a blast and learned so much! You guys are really awesome!
Thank you GCDS! When all other schools were virtual or hybrid this year, you made the courageous decision to go fully in person 5 days a week! And we made it through a whole school year with no COVID closings! On behalf of all working parents, THANK YOU!!!!!
Hi Mrs. Poland, I wanted to let you know we are going to get a head start on our traveling for the 4th of July weekend. So the boys will not be at camp on Friday. I want to thank you & everyone at the camp! The boys are having a BLAST and we will definitely be back next summer!!! Stay cool,
Thanks to you and your great staff for once again doing a great job keeping our kids engaged and safe.
Hi Mrs. Poland, My son had a great experience at Glenwood Country Day Camp this summer. It was his first summer at the camp and he didn't know anyone. After the first day, he felt very comfortable and met lots of friends. He enjoyed swimming, crafts, and field time. He can't wait to come back next summer and I'm looking forward to my youngest child being able to enjoy camp at Glenwood as well! Thank you!
Just a quick note to let you know how much my son is enjoying camp this week. When I picked him up on Tuesday, I asked him how his day was and he replied that it "was the best day ever." I learned that his best buddy (also a camper) told his mom the same thing that afternoon! Yet, when I picked my son up yesterday and asked him the same question, he answered that his day "was even better than yesterday". You all must be doing something right to keep these 7 year old's so happy! Thanks and keep up the good work,
Hi Mrs. Poland, We're all sad that the kids are missing their last day this summer at Glenwood. I wanted to thank you for everything this summer, specifically for your help in making sure Clark's camp experience ended on a good note. We hope you have a great rest of the summer and we hope to see you again next year. Thanks again!
Madison ranked her teachers… Kindergarten= 9/10 First=9/10 I asked her what a 10 was and she said. Mr. Dameon!

FRIDAY, May 29, 2020 — Ten percent of COVID-19 patients with diabetes die within a week of entering the hospital and 20% need a ventilator to breathe by that point, a new French study found.
Researchers analyzed data on more than 1,300 COVID-19 patients with diabetes, average age 70, who were hospitalized in France during March. Of those, 89% had type 2 diabetes, 3% had type 1, and the rest had other types of diabetes.
The study found that 1 in 5 patients had been placed on a ventilator in intensive care within seven days of entering the hospital; 1 in 10 had died; and 18% had been discharged.
"The risk factors for severe form of COVID-19 [in patients with diabetes] are identical to those found in the general population: age and BMI [weight]," said researchers led by diabetes specialists Dr. Bertrand Cariou and Dr. Samy Hadjadj, from University Hospital Nantes.
The study was the first to investigate how COVID-19 affects patients with diabetes.
Poor blood sugar control didn't appear to affect a patient's outcome, but diabetic complications and older age were linked to increased odds of death.
So was a higher body mass index (BMI), an estimate of body fat based on weight and height. Patients with a higher BMI were also more likely to need a ventilator.
The study found that 47% of patients had complications of the eye, kidney or nerves (microvascular), and 41% had complications in the heart, brain and legs (macrovascular).
Those complications each more than doubled a patient's risk of death at day seven of hospitalization, according to the researchers.
Age was also key. Patients 75 years and older were 14 times more likely to die than patients under 55. Patients between 65 and 74 had triple the risk of death compared to those under 55.
In addition, obstructive sleep apnea and shortness of breath almost tripled a patient's risk of death, and higher BMI increased the odds of needing a ventilator or death, the study found.
Women were 25% less likely than men to die or need a ventilator, but the statistical difference was borderline, the researchers said. When they focused on death alone, the risk for men and women was about the same.
The findings were published May 28 in the journal Diabetologia.
The study confirmed that insulin and other treatments for blood sugar control do not increase the odds of severe COVID-19 and should be continued in patients with diabetes, the authors said in a journal news release.

Commit Frequency
Further analysis of the maintenance status of wireframe based on released npm versions cadence, the repository activity, and other data points determined that its maintenance is Inactive.
An important project maintenance signal to consider for wireframe is that it hasn't seen any new versions released to npm in the past 12 months, and could be considered as a discontinued project, or that which receives low attention from its maintainers.
In the past month we didn't find any pull request activity or change in issues status has been detected for the GitHub repository.

No matter how good the opportunity is, you'll always find someone who raises objections as to why they can't buy, can't sell, and can't get involved. Nine times out of ten, these 'nay-sayers' are all giving the same reasons so having some top MLM tricks up your sleeve helps you avoid rejection.
As a marketer, you need to know what their 'no' reasons are before you present so that you'll be prepared. Here are some of the top reasons for a no and the solution to turn it around and get a yes.
One reason for a 'no' is the, "I can't afford to quit my job" excuse. Explain how they can conduct MLM business in their spare time until they build up to the income level they want and then they can have the satisfaction of telling their boss goodbye.
Another reason that you'll hear a 'no' is because of the bad MLM opportunities that fleeced people out of their hard earned money. Once a reputation is lived up, it's hard to live down and because of dishonest MLM companies, unfortunately, the entire industry got painted with the same brush.
But you can overcome this by pointing out companies that have been around for years that are MLM companies. There are well-known cosmetic companies, health product companies and even scrapbooking companies that are MLM companies.
Not only are they flourishing, but they have solid reputations. So do some research on these good companies so that you'll be prepared to talk about them in case you get rejected based on the reputation of a bad MLM business.
Another common point of rejection is, "I can't afford to get into a MLM program" or "I can't afford to pay to join." A way to turn this into a 'yes' is to explain how MLM works and how their initial investment is something they can get back and then some.
Explain how most legitimate companies do require small investments to pay for the cost of the advertising information they'll use to give to recruits. Make sure you explain that these are tools for their use.
You might also hear a rejection in the form of, "I don't believe in those 'make millions overnight' scams" and you should respond with, "Neither do I. If it sounds too good to be true, then it usually is. But I'm talking about real work, not a way to get something for nothing."
One of the number one reasons people say no to MLM opportunities is the, "I'm not any good at selling" excuse. The way to turn this no into a yes is to explain that the old 'door to door, get your family involved in buying' went out ages ago.
Explain that today, when you join an MLM company, you can get leads given to you and even have an online presence where potential buyers can find you. There are more ways than ever for them to be successful but they do have to give it a chance. These MLM tricks aren't a way to scam your prospects – they're a way to offer peace of mind and clarification on some common myths.

Having recently installed Apache2.2 with PHP 5.2.17 on my Windows 7 development machine, I want to pass along my findings about how to set things up to load the correct versions of the OpenSSL DLLs. Many people have posted elsewhere about the "DLL Hell" that results if the a wrong version is loaded.
First, install Apache 2.2 and check its operation, then download the Windows binaries for PHP from http://windows.php.net/download/. Note that according to the sidebar on that page the recommended version of PHP for use with Apache2 is currently 5.2.17, even though it is back level. Plus, this version comes with all the DLLs you need to use OpenSSL -- no need to recompile as the old PHP man page suggests.
Having verified the PHP installation, turn on the OpenSSL support by uncommenting the line
in php.ini, which you will find in the PHP directory (I'll assume you made that c:/PHP). Next check the location of php_openssl.dll, which you should find in c:/PHP/ext. Also in php.ini find the key extension_dir, and change its value to c:/php/ext. Next, put this location on the end of your PATH (there's no need to reboot).
At this point, when you start Apache it will attempt to load php_openssl.dll, but if your setup is anything like mine you will see an error. I prefer to start Apache manually, and the error appears in a dialog box: "The ordinal 4114 could not be located in the dynamic link library LIBEAY32.dll". (I'm not sure whether you would get this message if you started Apache as a service). The Apache log also contains an error message saying that php_openssl.dll cannot be loaded, though that message doesn't name libeay32.dll. Welcome to DLL Hell.
Libeay32.dll enters the picture because php_openssl.dll depends on it (and also on ssleay32.dll). What I think happens is that Apache first tries to load php_openssl.dll programmatically from the path specified by the extension_dir key. But then, the loading of the so-called dependent DLLs is left to Windows' default mechanism. If Windows finds an incompatible version of a dependent DLL, you get the error.
So clearly the fix is to ensure that the correct version of libeay32.dll is loaded. On my machine, at least three other processes have loaded various versions of this same DLL. They include the Mozy backup client, Windows Explorer (because Mozy installs support in Explorer) and the OpenOffice suite. My machine is quite different in this respect from a dedicated server on which one probably wants as few extraneous processes as possible. Presumably on a server one can follow advice that suggests copying the dlls to the system32 directory, for example. But I'm not about to mess with my other programs by making system-wide changes.
So what to do? I didn't find the available information on how Windows searches for DLLs to be very useful, mainly because I didn't understand it. But it does say that the first place Windows looks is "The directory from which the application loaded."
To cut to the chase, after a lot of experimentation I came to a key realization -- "the application" is APACHE, not PHP. So I copied libeay32.dll to the Apache2.2/bin directory. Problem solved. No error messages and running phpinfo confirms that OpenSSL is present and enabled.
Good luck, and stay out of DLL Hell.

Edward Snowden's claim that as systems administrator for a defense contractor in Hawaii he had the authority "to wiretap anyone, from you or your accountant to a federal judge to even the president," just isn't plausible, says a former national security lawyer at the Justice Department and Office of the Director of National Intelligence.
On Morning Edition, NPR's Steve Henn zeroed in on some of the things that Snowden, who has come forward to claim he's behind the recent explosive leaks about surveillance programs run by the National Security Agency, has been heard saying in interviews with The Guardian.
Carrie Cordero, the former Justice and DNI lawyer, is now director of national securities studies at Georgetown University Law Center. She tells Steve that "the notion that this individual has the authority to go ahead and ... 'wiretap' people is just ridiculous."
Without discussing the details of how such surveillance programs work and the safeguards that are in place to protect privacy, Cordero says Snowden's claim "does not resemble anything close to what I observed within the intelligence community."
Might he have had the ability to wiretap individuals, if not the authority? Susan Freiwald, a cyber law and privacy expert at the University of San Francisco School of Law, notes that the NSA appears to be collecting huge amounts of "metadata" from communications companies — basically, master files of which numbers are connecting to each other. But Steve says that "for an analyst sitting in Hawaii to initiate a wiretap on anyone anywhere he or she would need much, much more" — perhaps most notably, the ability to "monitor new calls, emails and chats in real time."
The communications and Internet companies, Steve adds, "have said in no uncertain terms that they are not granting the NSA unfettered access to their servers — or turning over data on the scale necessary to make a system like this work."
"I think it's quite likely they are telling the truth," Freiwald says.

Ages ago I started collecting interesting coloured plastic bags from friends, thinking that I would make some reusable shopping bags by ironing them together to make a kind of Tyvek material. This has been done a lot in the last few years, and there are a lot of tutorials out there on the internet showing how to fuse plastic shopping bags into a more durable kind of material that can be sewn like fabric. Here's a good one, in case you've not seen or heard of it before. Here are a few lovely examples of fused bags too.
Before I got around to collecting enough to make a fused bag project. I started wondering if I could use the same iron and parchment paper method to iron some of the cute plastic decals to the kid's clothing. Among the bags that my friends saved for me were some cute disney store ones, some party favour bags, some Lego store ones and a whole load of brightly coloured ones and ones with patterns like those from Old Navy.
I decided to start off by trying to iron a disney princess onto an old vest. Just cut out the image from the bag, then places it where I wanted it on the shirt and put some parchment paper over the top before ironing it on.
I had the iron set to cotton setting and found that providing the decal I cut out was smaller than the footprint of the iron, then I could get the bag to fuse really well to the tshirt material by pressing down hard and holding it for about ten seconds. If I wasn't quick enough putting the iron down hard then the bag would shrivel and distort the decal, which is why I stuck to doing ones that were smaller than the iron base. Let it cool a bit before you pull off the parchment paper, so that the plastic is set.
Because the plastic bags are so thin, when they bond to the fabric they leave the material still nice and soft feeling, not like the iron on transfers you can buy to print onto, which really seem to bulk up the fabric.
The other interesting thing with this is that you can deliberately iron the decals a little less, so that they *can* be peeled off. The cinderella one stayed well adhered whilst being worn all day, but when it came to machine washing, it just peeled right off and didn't make a mess of the shirt at all. Could be a cool way to change up plain tshirts for special events, so you can peel it all off after and use the tshirt again. All the ones I've done since then have been well ironed on perminent decals though.
Party favour bag butterfly decal on a pair of home made long tshirt shorts worked really well.
Some bags did work better than others, but most bags worked fine with varying amounts of ironing. The only thing that didn't work, which was a shame, was some easter eggs that I cut out of a really thin plastic dollar store table cloth. I'd rescued the table cloth from the bin at a local party thinking it would be great to cut out and iron on the eggs and bunnies to make easter skirts for the girls, but the plastic was just too thin and fragmented when I ironed it.
I ended up cutting out a load of egg shapes from the other bags that I had to make the first easter skirt. Added a load of hand cut flowers too.
I had two large tshirts to make the skirts from, by just threading elastic through the bottom hem. One from Goodwill and one from the Dollar Tree. My kids have a few skirts like these of various lengths, because they are so easy, cheap and fast to make.
Some of the yellow flowers I wasn't quick enough to press down on, so they shrivelled a bit, actually it was more because my ironing board is really lame, so I had to pad the surface to get even contact with the iron, but once I realised that, they worked much better.
Here's one that shrivelled.
And here's one after I sorted out padding the crummy ironing board to get even pressure.
Once I'd done the pink skirt for my older daughter, I thought I'd try putting my own decal together on the blue skirts by cutting shapes out of the coloured bags. I cut out separate shapes for the head, ears, body, feet and tail of the bunny from a white Safeway's bag, and ironed them on one at a time. Then cut out the pink for the ears and face and ironed them on top. Then cut out the yellow basket and ironed that on. I drew over the decal with a perminent marker and ironed that to set it into the plastic.
Finally I thought I'd see if I could punch out shapes from the plastic bags with scrapbook shape punches. I have a couple of really small ones that are flowers. I found that if you sandwich the bag between two layers of parchment paper (I guess any paper would do, I just had the parchment paper right there because I was using it already) then you can cut out a really clean shape from the bag to iron on. I ironed on two teeny little flowers to the basket and then cut some green bits of grass to iron on too.
I'm going to ask a mate of mine that is into scrapbooking if I can borrow a few of her shape cutters to get some more shapes cut from the bags I have, as this is much easier and quicker than hand cutting with scissors! If you have some of these punches already then this project will be really really quick and easy for you to try out.
Sorry if you noticed the chaos of accidental posting earlier today. It's been a bit on the looney side here the last two weeks. I've had some unexpected surgery and things are only just getting back to normal. I'm clearly still a couple of cans short of a six pack though, and managed to post this before I added any of the images. Whoops!
As you can see, it is spring break this week, so we are taking it easy and playing twister while the laundry doesn't get folded. NB. don't worry, Twister is a spectator sport for me until I am fully recovered ;)
More info and another example here for you if you want to give this a go.
Another plastic bag decal project that the kids can be involved in this time, here.
