Abstract: This paper questions the very subject of social change. It is proposed that we need to rethink the whole concept of change in sociological studies considering –the logic of God’s design on all creation as well as the context of time. This paper is a philosophical approach which assumed that man and society are not really change rather they simply grows like a circle of seeds spring up from mother’s womb. Man start from circle of sperm which gradually develops to form society and nation but finally dying to make a complete circle as he born out of mother earth and go back to where he came from. We hardly say that trees are changing rather we see them growing. In the same way man and society are also simply growing especially considering the context of time. Whenever we compared traditional and modern society we simply used ‘modern eyes’ to judge and observe and finally look down upon traditional society. This paper tries to make a holistic approach to understand the context of time’s self contain. We often generalized that traditional society are very simple, primitive and poor in all aspects but they may not think the way we think. The criteria we used are merely modern world view. We better try to understand the time frame. They had what they need, they lived simple life and they had simple problem. Can we claim that we are changing so fast, lots of development and now we are free from problem? Can we claim that we have comparatively higher moral standard of life? Instead, we live a complex life and problems are also complex. We eradicate diseases and other diseases arise. Relatively we have far better defending tools and weapons for security but can we proudly advocate that we are more saved and secured? To my understanding there is no change at all; rather we simple grow, enhance and enrich upon the existing structure. The underlying principles are same. We merely remodel the existing frame to meet the requirement of increasing complexities and problems which we create. Similarly new born baby gradually grows and his demand also increasing. Things which persist in both traditional and modern society are- problems, sorrow and joy, good and bad, man and women, left and right, day and night which ultimately form circle. Moreover, the unsatisfactory life and desires drives us to grow bigger and bigger to fulfilled the purpose of God of eternal circle.
The commonly held belief that life gets easier at the top is partly true. The loftier your role in a large enterprise, the more control you have over your day-to-day activities and more you are compensated for them. But the challenges also get tougher. For one thing, you are more visible. Your mistakes, and your ability to recover from them will be noticed. Also, fewer positions exist at that rarefied level. To advance, you have to either displace someone above you or create an entirely new business. Failure is not an option, unless you can make it seem like success. To manage all this with Integrity- that is a challenge indeed.
There are two ways to proceed. You can practice relentless discipline: curbing every impulse, making every moment count , and preparing diligently for each potential challenge. Or you can approach the world with insouciant savoir-faire, trusting that your charm and resourcefulness will get you through while making it all look easy.
At the heart of this book is a question about the proper way to live. To what extent must we lead disciplined lives to be powerful people? Is that discipline a matter of duty, compensation for the original sin of being imperfect, or is it a matter of joy, of calling forth the inner golden virtue that lies deep within all of us ? In Goldsmith’s eye, it is both- and it is both- an if you dare to take on the practices he recommends, you may come to agree with him.

A tale of scale & speed: How the US Navy is enabling software delivery from l...sonjaschweigert1
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

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).
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.
