Considerations about dissemination of improved fish strains for aquacultureWorldFish
One of the largest aquaculture and aquarium shows in Asia, Aqua Aquaria India 2013, was recently held in Vijayawada, AndhraPradesh, India, from 8 – 10 February.
Hosted by the Marine Products Export Development Authority of the Government of India (MPEDA), the event showcased the latest production and marketing technologies in aquaculture and ornamental fish culture to hatchery operators and breeders, technical staff, and more than 5000 local fish and shrimp farmers.
National and international experts on aquaculture and ornamental fish presented technical sessions sharing their experience and research findings.
Aquaculture and Genetic Improvement scientist, Dr. Curtis Lind, made a presentation based on a WorldFish publication entitled ‘Considerations about the dissemination of improved fish strains’ authored by R.W. Ponzoni, H.L. Khaw, N.H. Nguyen and B.M. Rodriguez Jr. (Download publication here: http://www.worldfishcenter.org/resources/publications/considerations-about-dissemination-improved-fish-strains).
The publication summarizes key strategies, knowledge and experience related to the multiplication and dissemination of improved fish strains, and makes recommendations on how some of the practices may be improved.
If implemented, these improved practices may help fish farmers increase the productivity and profitability of their farms.

Launch of Resource Toolkit for Establishing and Integrating Human Milk BanksLeith Greenslade
Ensuring equitable access to human milk for all infants has the potential to save countless lives, especially vulnerable neonates, such as those born low-birthweight or premature. Yet many do not have access to their own mother’s milk in the first critical hours or days of life. PATH has developed “Strengthening Human Milk Banking: A Resource Toolkit for Establishing and Integrating Human Milk Banks” as a compendium of standards to advance access to human milk for all babies. This toolkit is comprised of 11 separate core documents and accompanying materials—including templates, standards, and tools—to guide critical steps for establishing human milk banking as an integrated component within breastfeeding support and neonatal care, with in-depth focus on readiness, quality assurance, operations, auditing, training, monitoring and evaluation, and communications. These tools are intended to be utilized as a cohesive package, with embedded links throughout to orient and guide users to relevant resources. This toolkit, in its entirety, is freely available and globally accessible. The content was developed to be adaptable to local context requirements to maximize effectiveness and reach.

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.

Securing your Kubernetes cluster_ a step-by-step guide to success !KatiaHIMEUR1
Today, after several years of existence, an extremely active community and an ultra-dynamic ecosystem, Kubernetes has established itself as the de facto standard in container orchestration. Thanks to a wide range of managed services, it has never been so easy to set up a ready-to-use Kubernetes cluster.
However, this ease of use means that the subject of security in Kubernetes is often left for later, or even neglected. This exposes companies to significant risks.
In this talk, I'll show you step-by-step how to secure your Kubernetes cluster for greater peace of mind and reliability.

What is the challenge for genebank staff?
One of the greatest challenges for genebank managers is to
find crop specific guidelines and protocols to help them
Photo: IRRI
conserve and manage their specific crops in their
genebanks. Up till now guidelines on genebank
management for different crops were hard to find. Many are
scattered and not readily accessible while others have not
been compiled into any manuals or published guidelines.
The Crop Genebank Knowledge Base is being developed to
fill this gap.
How can the Crop Genebank Knowledge Base (CGKB) help genebank staff?
The CGKB provides information on crop specific genebank
activities for 9 crops (banana, barley, cassava, chickpea,
forage grasses, forage legumes, maize, rice and wheat),
regeneration guidelines for an additional 12 crops, general
genebank procedures (registration through to distribution),
protocols, guidelines, manuals, publications as well as
training materials on genebank management.
What is special about this Crop Genebank Knowledge Base website?
The CGKB contains dynamic, up to date information on best practices
Knowledge validated by genebank managers of different leading research
institutes.
The CGKB contains multimedia (photos and video) to support and
document the content. It also contains many interactive items such as
Resources flipbooks (series of clickable pictures), presentations, tutorials, a forum,
a blog, e-learning materials and many links to other relevant sites and
can also be used as a training tool.
The CGKB is built using the open source Joomla content management
system (CMS). This CMS allows users of this website to register and
Participation participate in developing or updating content. Users can join the Wikis
or Blog, upload a best practice for comments, share a video, photo, or
other materials from their own genebank or field visits.
What are the next steps?
We will establish collaboration mechanisms with curators of genebanks to regularly update the information
and to add best practices for other crops. The site will be expanded linking other practices and guidelines for
genebank management such as quality assurance standards. User feedback will help to improve the site
further.
The CGKB site is an initiative of the System-wide Genetic Resources Program (SGRP) of the Consultative Group on International Agricultural
Research (CGIAR), financed by the World Bank. The International Agricultural Research Centres who worked together to make this site
possible were:
| Africa Rice Center | Bioversity International | CIAT | CIMMYT | CIP | ICARDA | ICRISAT | IFPRI | IITA | ILRI | IRRI |
