This document discusses the common misconception that people are either "lost" or "saved" and discusses what the Bible actually teaches about salvation. It notes that most people have never truly understood the gospel or had a chance to be called by God. However, God's purpose is not to save everyone now, but to allow most to be deceived by Satan until Christ's return. At that time, all people will have an opportunity to understand the truth and be saved through God's coming Kingdom on Earth.

- Veolia reported its key figures for the period ending March 31, 2015, with revenue of €6.305 billion, up 8.5% from the same period in 2014.
- EBITDA was €816 million, up 26.4% compared to 2014, driven by continued cost cutting and good growth outside of Europe.
- Net financial debt remained stable at €8.970 billion despite negative foreign exchange impacts of around €1 billion.
- Veolia confirmed its 2015 guidance targets for revenue growth, EBITDA and current EBIT growth, continued cost savings, and dividend coverage by current net income and free cash flow.
This document discusses applying game theory to analyze nuclear proliferation. During the Cold War, the US and Soviet Union were in a prisoner's dilemma, where the dominant strategy for each was to acquire more nuclear weapons. However, stockpiles decreased after peaking in the 1960s. This is because in the long run it became a sequential game, where continuing to increase weapons was not beneficial once an opponent stopped. The equilibrium reached was a Nash equilibrium, where no country could gain by changing strategy as long as others' strategies remained unchanged.
This document discusses a case where Review 2 and Review claimed Redberry infringed their design registration of a sleeveless dress design. While the court found the registered design was valid, it did not find infringement by Redberry's dress. The court considered factors like the informed user perspective, similarities and differences between the designs, the limited freedom to innovate in dress designs, and the prior art. Ultimately it was found the shape of Redberry's skirt and different fabric pattern meant it did not create a substantially similar overall visual impression to the registered design.

This document analyzes and compares the peak-to-peak current ripple in two-level (2L) and three-level (3L) PWM inverters. It shows that the current ripple amplitude in 3L inverters can be determined based on the ripple in 2L inverters. The analysis is verified through numerical simulations and experimental tests. Three-phase multilevel inverters are commonly used in medium- and high-power applications like motor drives and grid-connected systems. While various PWM techniques have been developed for multilevel inverters, this paper addresses their impact on output current ripple.
A União Europeia está considerando novas regras para veículos autônomos. As regras propostas exigiriam que os fabricantes de veículos autônomos assumam mais responsabilidade por acidentes e garantam que os sistemas de direção sejam projetados para proteger os pedestres e ciclistas. Os regulamentos também visam estabelecer padrões comuns para testes e certificação de veículos autônomos em toda a UE.

The kidneys are bean-shaped organs that serve several essential regulatory roles in vertebrates. They remove excess organic molecules from the blood, and it is by this action that their best-known function is performed: the removal of waste products of metabolism. They are essential in the urinary system and also serve homeostatic functions such as the regulation of electrolytes, maintenance of acid–base balance, and regulation of blood pressure (via maintaining salt and water balance). They serve the body as a natural filter of the blood, and remove water soluble wastes, which are diverted to the bladder. In producing urine, the kidneys excrete wastes such as urea and ammonium, and they are also responsible for the reabsorption of water, glucose, and amino acids. The kidneys also produce hormones including calcitriol, erythropoietin, and the enzyme renin, the last of which indirectly acts on the kidney in negative feedback.

Rapid and secure feature delivery is a goal across every application team and every branch of the DoD. The Navy’s DevSecOps platform, Party Barge, has achieved:
- Reduction in onboarding time from 5 weeks to 1 day
- Improved developer experience and productivity through actionable findings and reduction of false positives
- Maintenance of superior security standards and inherent policy enforcement with Authorization to Operate (ATO)
Development teams can ship efficiently and ensure applications are cyber ready for Navy Authorizing Officials (AOs). In this webinar, Sigma Defense and Anchore will give attendees a look behind the scenes and demo secure pipeline automation and security artifacts that speed up application ATO and time to production.
We will cover:
- How to remove silos in DevSecOps
- How to build efficient development pipeline roles and component templates
- How to deliver security artifacts that matter for ATO’s (SBOMs, vulnerability reports, and policy evidence)
- How to streamline operations with automated policy checks on container images

Alt. GDG Cloud Southlake #33: Boule & Rebala: Effective AppSec in SDLC using ...James Anderson
Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).
Speakers:
Bob Boule
Robert Boule is a technology enthusiast with PASSION for technology and making things work along with a knack for helping others understand how things work. He comes with around 20 years of solution engineering experience in application security, software continuous delivery, and SaaS platforms. He is known for his dynamic presentations in CI/CD and application security integrated in software delivery lifecycle.
Gopinath Rebala
Gopinath Rebala is the CTO of OpsMx, where he has overall responsibility for the machine learning and data processing architectures for Secure Software Delivery. Gopi also has a strong connection with our customers, leading design and architecture for strategic implementations. Gopi is a frequent speaker and well-known leader in continuous delivery and integrating security into software delivery.
