For older children (6 yrs and above), the gifted evaluation will take 1-1½ hrs using the WISC-V and the WJ IV achievement testing (reading and math). Our objectives are to provide free, appropriate, and science-based educational opportunities to students on the more involved portion of the autism spectrum to find each student’s strengths and provide them with the tools and hands-on learning opportunities that will enable them to function independently in society and have a purpose in life and to remove the stigma associated with ASD and prove that even the most profoundly affected individuals can contribute to society in a meaningful way. Gifted: What is Floridas Definition of Gifted. The gifted evaluation for children under 6 yrs old using the WPPSI-IV usually takes 1 hour. Skinner’s Theory of Applied Behavioral Analysis (ABA) and Verbal Behavior (VB) are applied in conjunction with state approved standards for students on a modified curriculum in order to provide the most effective individualized educational programs possible. We target students with ASD who have communication deficits and/or behavioral challenges, and who may require training in self-help skills.

![]() I then zipped up all code without using the installer software ( InstallMate is what I use) - IOW, I just packaged up the entire distribution folder minus Installer package that provides the shortcut, registry keys (for IE version and file association) and Environment (adding to path) registration. I had removed all external binaries, and I was still getting errors. This still left me with 3 AV hits one of which was a major vendor - Avast.Īt this point I wasn't sure what to try. Which is ridiculous if you think about it! Installer Woes nevertheless it got flagged and the only way for me to get past this was to use an older version. It's also open source so the code is there for all to see - it'd be hard to hide a trojan in broad view especially in tool with such tightly defined scope and size. After all hunspell is open source and quite popular as it it's used by major pieces of software like most browsers and most open source editors. I uninstalled and installed an older version and AV no longer flagged those particular items. I played around with several different versions of hunspell and found that only the latest version of NHUnspell was flagging AV. Removing hunspell immediately dropped a number of the AV hits (down to 3 from 9). ![]() Doing some research I found that another vendor had built a custom version of hunspell.dll that did some monkey business - and that's what got hunspell flagged as a potential trojan. It turns out that one third party library - hunspell spell checker library specifically - has had a problem with a very particular version. To my surprise, after removing all dependencies VirusTotal came down to 3 AV hits, instead of the previous 9 I started with - a definite improvement. I started by removing all DLL dependencies from the installed distribution before compiling into the installer. I figure it might be useful you find yourself in a similar position with your application. ![]() ![]() In this post I walk through the morass of trying to figure out what was causing the false positives and the workarounds that eventually allowed me to get past the problem - after quite a bit of sleuthing and wasted time. It took a while but I think I'm out of the woods for now. In order to track down the problem I tried a boatload of things to try and isolate where the problem was coming from. One installer platform apparently tagged.One third party library that had been flagged as malicious.How do I know this?Īs it turns out there were a number of factors at play here: In this case however, it turns out that it's definitely a case of false positives. Seeing AV warnings on software is something you generally want to take serious. Brave indeed - I'm not sure I'd do the same. A few were brave and installed anyway - saying they trusted me that there was no malice in these files since they are coming from me. Looks nasty doesn't it? I had to take a closer look.Īnti-Virus false positives are a pain because it's quite likely if you open the package and see a virus warning you're going to be very hesitant to go any further, my assurances aside :-) Several people contacted me in recent weeks and let me know that the installer was flagged by their Anti-Virus tool. ![]() But to my chagrin, using VirusTotal - which is used by Chocolatey and other distribution sources - I was coming away with 9 AV failures: After all I know what's in my code and there's nothing threatening in here. My first reaction was - "ah, just a fluke with a false positive". I didn't realize anything was wrong at first, until a few occasional emails came rolling in from users telling me their anti-virus flagged the installer - in many cases completely blocking the install process. It's a standalone desktop application and in recent months I've been plagued with Anti-Virus false positives for the installation executable. I've been working on Markdown Monster for a while now. ![]() ![]() ![]() The result will be a structure having the strength and durability of masonry with a popular, attractive stucco finish. With the right planning and preparation in the construction of the concrete masonry base, the final step is to follow the requirements of ASTM C 926, the Standard Specification for Application of Portland Cement Plaster, and the guidelines given in PCA's Portland Cement Plaster (Stucco) Manual EB049 in applying the plaster. A dash bond coat is a slurry mixture rich in cement, usually one part cement to no more than two parts sand, that is literally dashed against the wall using a brush, trowel, paddle, or machine. If open textured masonry units are not available or the condition of the masonry surface is questionable, apply a dash bond coat of a non-re-emulsifiable bonding agent to masonry surfaces prior to application of the basecoat. However, avoid saturating the masonry either by excessive spraying or by exposure of uncovered masonry walls or units to rain. Prior to application of the basecoat, uniformly pre-moisten concrete masonry surfaces to aid in curing of the plaster. Plaster is applied to concrete masonry surfaces in two or three coats, consisting of basecoat(s) and a finish coat. Because plaster and concrete masonry undergo similar volume changes, place control joints in the plaster only in locations that coincide with control joints in the concrete masonry. Cut all mortar joints flush, rather than tooling or sponge floating them. To enhance that inherent compatibility, select open-textured concrete masonry units that promote mechanical keying between the plaster and the base masonry wall. Traditional portland cement stucco should not be confused with the Exterior Insulation Finish Systems (EIFS) which are sometimes called "synthetic stuccos."Ĭoncrete masonry provides an excellent base for direct application of portland cement plaster. ![]() The term "stucco" is widely used to describe material applied to exterior surfaces. Portland cement plaster and portland cement stucco are the same material. Sea sand is prohibited for construction work, because of high salt contents. Sand should be clean, free from dust and organic matters. Size of sand particles should be such that it passes through 4.75mm sieve. Sand particles should have coarse, sharp and angular edges. The serviceability of traditional portland cement plaster has been proof-tested through long use in extreme environments such as the cold temperatures of Alaska and Canada, the hot temperatures of the humid Gulf States, and the dry Southwestern States. Sand is used as fine aggregate in cement concrete. Portland cement plaster is a versatile, durable facing material that can be applied to either exterior or interior surfaces of a structure. ![]() ![]() ![]() These Terms and the provisions shall constitute the entire agreement (collectively, the "Agreement" between Buyer and CITY) and shall supersede and replace all prior oral and written agreements and can be modified or cancelled only by written agreement signed by Buyer and CITY.

For example, you may have a list of suppliers where a few supplier names contain commas, which would result in our CSV file becoming malformed. However, there may be occasions when you want each value to be written to a file in quotation marks. In the above example, our code wrote the suppliers array to a new file as it appeared. HW Smith and Co, 17 Boston Avenue, Ice Cream Cones,Yes CSV File Quoting Peterson Chocolate, 129 Second Street, Chocolate Sprinkles,Yes Hendersons Creamery, 123 Main Street, Cream,Yes Here’s the code we could use to write the data we have to a file: This value holds whether or not the supplier is the primary supplier for a certain product. Let’s say that we have written a program that adds a new value to each supplier record. Then, in order to write data to our file, we use the writerow() method. The writer() function creates an object that we can use to write to a file. The writer() function allows us to write data to the file we specify so that we can save our data for later use. The CSV module contains a method that can be used to write data to a CSV file: writer(). Then, our program prints out the variable suppliers. Our program opens the file suppliers.csv, reads the file, then appends each record into the array suppliers that we declared at the start of our program. Let’s explain what is going on in our code. For example, you may have a CSV file that stores ice cream flavors or supplier information. CSV files, on the other hand, allow you to store structured data in a table format that you can reference in your code, similar to how spreadsheets and databases allow you to store structured data. Traditional text files can be useful for when you need to store data, but they cannot be used to store structured data. This data structure is referred to as CSV data or Comma-Separated Values. For example, you may have a list of ice cream orders whose values are separated with commas. When you’re working with data, you may have a list of that data separated by commas. In this tutorial, we are going to explore how to read and write to CSV files using the CSV Python module. CSV files are used to store a large amount of data, and the CSV module allows you to parse those files in Python. This is where the Python CSV module comes in. You could use Python to analyze the data you have gathered on user orders to find out about which flavors of ice cream are popular, how much people spend on those flavors, and more.

I just ditched auto-activation for now as it was more trouble than it was worth and simply manually activate what i need. I tried RightFont and quite like the simple interface, although I have not put it through its paces. ![]() I guess a lot of my problems are caused by having an older Mac (2011) with lots of fonts and old stuff on it which causes problems. After running into some more problems I switched back to FEX, only to have other problems there. The newest version (9) is supposed to do auto-activation for Affinity apps, but Publisher crashes on start-up every time I tried this. It seemed to work OK, but overall it was very slow activating and deactivating font, and its database is way more complicated that FEXs. But the newer versions do not support auto activation for CS5, so I tried FontAgent Pro, which did offer this. I know it quite well, and most of the time it did a decent enough job. Has the code for this changed in the 1.7 versions? And if not why is there a difference? Will the 1.7 version once released behave as the 1.6 app-store version or the 1.7 have been using FEX since version 1, when it was still a free app. What I don't understand is why the Beta works differently than the app-store version. After activation the appearance changes directly. Can I synchronize my font library across multiple devices Yes, RightFont offers seamless synchronization through various cloud storage services like Dropbox and Google Drive. Why is this in the beta thread? Well because the Beta apps do offer the correct font auto-activation. If a font is not activated, RightFont handles automatic activation in the background. Note that when I activate a font I have not yet used and then use in Designer in the document it does so correctly. I have to close and re-open the document for the fonts to show up correctly. The font is displayed as the default fallback font no matter what I do. Abstract: Comparative analysis of the features of the world image in people who differ in metaphorical perceptions of friends and foes is conducted. When I manually activate the font it does not change the appearance in Designer. RightFont 5 is an innovative, beautiful and professional font manager app for macOS, helping designers to preview, install, sync and manage their font files. However I tried this with the app store version of designer, but though it does activate the font. Its is supposed to auto activate fonts for affinity apps. I am slightly confused by the following issue: I have Auto-Activation set up in RightFont, a font manager I am testing. ![]() ![]() ![]() Check the temperature is not too hot with your elbow.
