The civilization of ancient Egypt flourished along the River Nile between 2800 BC and 1000 BC. Egyptian society was divided into three periods - the Old, Middle, and New Kingdoms. Clothing in ancient Egypt varied based on wealth, with rich Egyptians wearing elaborate dresses, wigs, and jewelry, while poor Egyptians wore simple linen clothing. Religion played a central role in Egyptian life, with many gods and goddesses worshipped including Re, the sun god, and Hapi, the river goddess. Food and agriculture depended on the annual flooding of the Nile, which supported crops like wheat, barley, and flax. Egyptian social structure was highly stratified, with the Pharaoh ruling over nob

GDG Cloud Southlake #33: Boule & Rebala: Effective AppSec in SDLC using Deplo...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).

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.

Search and Society: Reimagining Information Access for Radical FuturesBhaskar Mitra
The field of Information retrieval (IR) is currently undergoing a transformative shift, at least partly due to the emerging applications of generative AI to information access. In this talk, we will deliberate on the sociotechnical implications of generative AI for information access. We will argue that there is both a critical necessity and an exciting opportunity for the IR community to re-center our research agendas on societal needs while dismantling the artificial separation between the work on fairness, accountability, transparency, and ethics in IR and the rest of IR research. Instead of adopting a reactionary strategy of trying to mitigate potential social harms from emerging technologies, the community should aim to proactively set the research agenda for the kinds of systems we should build inspired by diverse explicitly stated sociotechnical imaginaries. The sociotechnical imaginaries that underpin the design and development of information access technologies needs to be explicitly articulated, and we need to develop theories of change in context of these diverse perspectives. Our guiding future imaginaries must be informed by other academic fields, such as democratic theory and critical theory, and should be co-developed with social science scholars, legal scholars, civil rights and social justice activists, and artists, among others.

"Impact of front-end architecture on development cost", Viktor TurskyiFwdays
I have heard many times that architecture is not important for the front-end. Also, many times I have seen how developers implement features on the front-end just following the standard rules for a framework and think that this is enough to successfully launch the project, and then the project fails. How to prevent this and what approach to choose? I have launched dozens of complex projects and during the talk we will analyze which approaches have worked for me and which have not.

2. The civilization of ancient Egypt was very powerful
between 2800 BC and 1000 BC. It could be found
around the River Nile. It can be separated into the old
kingdom, the middle kingdom and the new
kingdom, which was called the pyramid age.
3. Clothing
In ancient Egypt, the clothing you wore depended on how rich
you were. Rich people wore sheath dresses, with beautiful hair
wigs and jewelry made of semi precious stones. Poor people
wore linen kilts for men and simple dresses for women.
Egyptians often wore sandals on their feet, made from leather.
Spindle flax was spun on a stick to make fabric. Sheep’s wool was
also used. Rich people could afford brightly-coloured clothes. In
cold weather everyone in ancient Egypt wore cloaks of wool or
animal skin. Rich Egyptian men and women also wore wigs made
from a mixture of real hair and vegetable fibres. The perfume
gradually melted and ran down their hair and clothes. As you can
see, clothing in ancient Egypt was very different from today.
4. Religion
Religion was very important in ancient Egypt. They prayed to their gods
at big temples almost every day. When the River Nile flooded, they
prayed to the river goddess of Hapi. Thoth was the moon good who had
knowledge of writing, medicine and mathematics. Wadjet was the sun
god whose symbol was an eye. The Egyptians believed they went to
new places when they died. The most important god of all was Re, the
sun god. The Egyptians believed that he was swallowed up each evening
by the sky goddess, Nut. The ancient Egyptians worshipped more than
1000 different gods and the goddesses. You can see that religion was an
important part of their lives.
5. Food & Agriculture
The most important crops in Ancient Egypt were wheat and barley which
were used to make bread and beer. Another important crop and flax,
which was used to make clothes. The Egyptians ate a lot of onions, garlic,
dates and grapes. Only rich people ate meat. The Egyptians had to farm the
land when the flood water went down. They had to grow crops that could
be cut before the next flood. The Egyptians also kept cows and geese to
eat. They also hunted river birds and fish. The Egyptians had no machines
so they used animals for the job. Goats and sheep pushed the seed into
ground as soon as it was planted. Oxen pulled the ploughs. Sometimes the
farmers hired people to play the flute to keep people company while they
worked. The farming year was divided up into the three seasons: the flood,
the growing period and also the harvest. It is clear that food in Egypt
depended on farming and the Nile River floods.
6. Structure of Society
The Pharaoh ruled over all of Egypt. Under the Pharaoh
were viziers, the high priests and nobles. Scribes were the
only people who could write so they were important
because they had to check on the food stores. For example,
the scribes wrote down how many geese they were. The
Egyptians each did a different job. Some were farmers and
others were fisherman. They did not have any money so
they traded to get what they wanted and needed. Egyptian
life had a pattern. All women worked at home. Most
Egyptian men worked two jobs when the water flooded or
the Nile was low. Only the most important priests did not
farm on land. When Nile flooded, the farmers had other
jobs. Some were builders or fishermen and jewelry artists.
As you can see, everyone in ancient Egypt had a different
job in society.
7. In this conclusion, you now know all about the
structure of society in ancient Egypt. This report has
also described the clothing, religion, food and
agriculture. It is clear that Egypt is an interesting
civilization because of the different lives that people
lived thousands of years ago.
