Erin gruwell & the freedom writers experienceAndré Stanley
Erin Gruwell & The Freedom Writers experience
The first day of Erin Gruwell as a student teacher in Woodrow Wilson High School in long beach, California was not necessarily a welcome dear teacher.
Ms. Gruwell received a class fragmentized as into small islands. There were several groups divided by racial and ethnic matters. Latinos, niggers, eastern immigrants and a little white people. Gruwell entered into the class 203 in Woodrow school as a just graduated teacher looking for experience and on the end of the day after being mocked, scorned and threatened by her students, she return home with two choices in mind.
1- Giving up her teaching career.
2- Going on not involving with the students, just give the subject, period.
But these two choices seemed too unacceptable for Erin Gruwell, then she simply created a new option. She decided to interact with the students, trying to change that hostile environment.
Her success is now celebrated around the world as a unique and amazing educational experience. She and her students of classroom 203 turned into an example of engagement against discrimination and social struggle. Considering that all her students were involved in gang fights in long beach area.
Gruwell and her group o f students engaged by their own succeeded experience dubbed themselves as “Freedom Writers” inspired by the experience lived for group of Afro-Amricans in the 1950s that broke the rule that didn’t avoid black people riding busses. They became known as “Freedom Riders”.

Kohn, Teaching towards ELF competence in the English classroom, ELF 7 Athens,...Kurt Kohn
ELF is increasingly being recognized as a learning objective in educational standards for secondary schools and teacher education (e.g. in the state of Baden-Württemberg, Germany). ELF pedagogy thus seems to be gaining ground in traditionally “hostile” EFL territory. At the same time, however, EFL professionals on all levels of expertise are still harbouring the suspicion that teaching ELF is all about "teaching incorrect English". Much of the persistent antagonism between ELF and EFL is due to misunderstandings based on hidden differences regarding focal interests and key conceptualizations both in research and pedagogy. In my presentation, I explore ways in which the rift between ELF and EFL can be bridged to provide a common ground for integrated pedagogical solutions. Guidance and orientation is provided by an ensemble of communicative-constructivist principles and assumptions concerning the communicative nature of language competence, language acquisition as creative construction, the status of Standard English as a teaching/learning goal, and the role of speaker satisfaction for communicative success (Kohn 2011, 2014). Against this backdrop, I sketch out a pedagogical approach geared to the requirements and purposes of ELF communication. Learning objectives include awareness raising as well as knowledge and skills development for comprehension, production, and interaction. Special attention is given to enabling learners to trust and explore their own non-native speaker creativity (Kohn 2014). Learning tasks and activities suitable for ELF practice and development are described and discussed with reference to online resources and environments available from various European projects. This includes online BACKBONE interviews with ELF speakers from different European countries as well as TILA lingua franca conversations in videoconference and virtual world settings.

CRM Saturday - XrmToolBox with Jonas RappJonas Rapp
CRM Saturday is a recurring event where Microsoft Dynamics CRM/365 experts and MVPs gather for a day filled with sessions from both strategic and technical perspectives on everything from user adoption to plugin unit testing to IoT and intelligent analysis.
On Saturday January 28, 2017 the event was held in London, UK at the Microsoft offices in Paddington.
As a “senior contributor” to the world famous XrmToolBox by MVP Tanguy Touzard I was invited to do a session on simplifying development using XrmToolBox.
The session covered a brief XrmToolBox background, examples of my own favorite tools, and deep dive demos of FetchXML Builder and Plugin Trace Viewer. Of course you cannot do a demo with some customizations and plugins without using a few other XrmToolBox tools, so I did not only cover my own block busters…

Removing Uninteresting Bytes in Software FuzzingAftab Hussain
Imagine a world where software fuzzing, the process of mutating bytes in test seeds to uncover hidden and erroneous program behaviors, becomes faster and more effective. A lot depends on the initial seeds, which can significantly dictate the trajectory of a fuzzing campaign, particularly in terms of how long it takes to uncover interesting behaviour in your code. We introduce DIAR, a technique designed to speedup fuzzing campaigns by pinpointing and eliminating those uninteresting bytes in the seeds. Picture this: instead of wasting valuable resources on meaningless mutations in large, bloated seeds, DIAR removes the unnecessary bytes, streamlining the entire process.
In this work, we equipped AFL, a popular fuzzer, with DIAR and examined two critical Linux libraries -- Libxml's xmllint, a tool for parsing xml documents, and Binutil's readelf, an essential debugging and security analysis command-line tool used to display detailed information about ELF (Executable and Linkable Format). Our preliminary results show that AFL+DIAR does not only discover new paths more quickly but also achieves higher coverage overall. This work thus showcases how starting with lean and optimized seeds can lead to faster, more comprehensive fuzzing campaigns -- and DIAR helps you find such seeds.

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. He comes with around 20 years of solution engineering experience in application security, software continuous delivery, and SaaS platforms.

zkStudyClub - Reef: Fast Succinct Non-Interactive Zero-Knowledge Regex ProofsAlex Pruden
This paper presents Reef, a system for generating publicly verifiable succinct non-interactive zero-knowledge proofs that a committed document matches or does not match a regular expression. We describe applications such as proving the strength of passwords, the provenance of email despite redactions, the validity of oblivious DNS queries, and the existence of mutations in DNA. Reef supports the Perl Compatible Regular Expression syntax, including wildcards, alternation, ranges, capture groups, Kleene star, negations, and lookarounds. Reef introduces a new type of automata, Skipping Alternating Finite Automata (SAFA), that skips irrelevant parts of a document when producing proofs without undermining soundness, and instantiates SAFA with a lookup argument. Our experimental evaluation confirms that Reef can generate proofs for documents with 32M characters; the proofs are small and cheap to verify (under a second).

Control Outlook Synchronization Settings for Dynamics CRM users
1. CONTROL OUTLOOK
SYNCHRONIZATION SETTINGS FOR
DYNAMICS CRM USERS
...with the help of XRMToolbox's Sync Filter Manager
Jukka Niiranen
@jukkan
http://niiranen.eu/crm/
2. THE PROBLEM WITH DYNAMICS CRM
SYNCHRONIZATION SETTINGS
Contact and activity record synchronization between Microsoft Dynamics CRM database
and Outlook (& Exchange) is controlled via synchronization filters
By default these settings need to be configured individually by each user via the
Personal Options menu, as there is no central administration tool available for them in
Dynamics CRM
3. WHAT IS SYNC FILTER MANAGER?
Part of the XrmToolBox tools for Dynamics CRM, developed byTanguyTouzard,
available for free on CodePlex:
http://xrmtoolbox.codeplex.com/
Note: this is not a solution you import to your CRM, instead you run it from your local PC
and connect to the specified CRM instance
The tool author’s post describing the features of Sync Filter Manager:
http://mscrmtools.blogspot.fi/2013/12/introducing-new-tool-sync-filter-manager.html
In short: system administrators can use this tool to configure the appropriate
synchronization settings for all the users
4. HOW DOTHESE “FILTERS”WORK ANYWAY?
Two types of settings:
Filters are shown to the user in their Personal Options menu in the system filters view.
The user cannot choose to enable or disable the system filters.
Filter templates are applied by default to all new CRM users.The user can choose to
enable or disable the filters from the user filters view in their PersonalOptions menu.
There can be only one default template by record type.
Two purposes:
Outlook filters define the records to be synchronized with standard Outlook and
Exchange folders (contacts, appointments etc.) automatically
Offline filters define the records to be synchronized with CRM Outlook offline client to
the local client machine CRM database (accounts, opportunities)
More details in CRM SDK:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg328205(v=crm.6).aspx
5. HOWTO GET STARTED?
This presentation covers 3 common scenarios for managing the contact
synchronization filters in Microsoft Dynamics CRM:
1. Adding a new filter
2. Disabling an existing filter
3. Changing the default filter
7. SCENARIO DESCRIPTION
Situation: more than one user is working with the same contact, thus it should be
synchronized to all their address books and not just the owner’s
Target: synchronize to Outlook all the contact records where a user has clicked on
the “Follow” button (used by default for Activity Feeds functionality)
Steps:
Use an existing system view to create a new Outlook synchronization filter template
based on it: “Contacts I Follow”
Apply the filter to selected users
8. CREATINGTHE FILTER
1. Run
XrmToolBox and
connect it to your
CRM organization
2. Launch Sync Filter
Manager and go to
SystemViews, click
“Load SystemViews” 3. Choose the contact
view from the list, then
click “Create”, “System
Synchronization Filter
Template from selected
view(s)”
4. Set the rule type as
“Outlook template”
9. APPLYINGTHE FILTER
5. On the Question
prompt, choose
“Yes”
6. Choose the users
who you want to
apply the template
and click “OK”
7. New filter is now
applied and active
for the selected
users
11. SCENARIO DESCRIPTION
Situation: contacts imported in the initial CRM data migration have been assigned
to an system key user due to lack of actual contact business owner information in
the source data
Target: stop all these contacts from being synchronized to the admin user’s
Outlook address book when he or she connects to CRM for the first time
Steps:
Retrieve the current synchronization filters for a specific user
Change the filter status to “Disabled”
12. DISABLINGTHE FILTER
1. Run
XrmToolBox and
connect it to your
CRM organization
2. Launch Sync Filter
Manager, go to User
Synchronization
Filters, click “Load
SystemViews”
3. Find the user and
select the filter, then
choose “Disable”
13. FILTER IS INACTIVE FORTHE USER
4. Filter status has
now been changed
