Collaborating, Presenting and Publishing in your classroom - New Pedagogy
The document discusses how Web 2.0 tools can be used in the classroom to engage students in sharing, publishing, collaboration and learning. It suggests using tools like Posterous, Slideshare, YouTube, and Wikis to allow students to publish content, and collaborate with peers. The goal is to move from a consumer to contributor model of learning and transform students into active participants in their education through these new online platforms.
W E S T Press Release 2 Final Version
The West Englewood Support and Training (WEST) nonprofit organization was awarded a multi-year $90,000 grant to address the lack of access to healthcare for Parkinson's patients in Englewood, Chicago. The grant will allow WEST to execute its mission of providing medical and social support networks for disabled residents with Parkinson's over the next 3 years. WEST will also facilitate a consortium of local healthcare and social services organizations to address the impact of limited access to treatment and research for neurological conditions like Parkinson's, Alzheimer's, and traumatic brain injury among inner city residents. The funding received will help prototype WEST's healthcare information and referral programs to inform future public health strategies in Chicago.

The Rotary Club of Plano held its weekly meeting on September 19, 2013. The meeting included introductions of guests, recognition of members' anniversaries with the club, and induction of two new members. The keynote speaker, PDG Helen Reisler, read an original poem about Rotary. The featured speaker was Ean Sullivan, who recounted how he initially joined Rotary as a cynic but came to appreciate the good works of Rotarians after witnessing a project in Mexico. Jan Sullivan spoke about efforts to end polio worldwide. The meeting concluded with recognition of PDGs in attendance.
Task 6
The artist used repeated "O" letters in an exploding mushroom cloud shape to symbolize an explosion for the word in the title. A single repeating letter helps viewers quickly read and understand the intended idea. The wavy, irregular font fits the uncontrollable theme of explosions and looks like the letters are exploding outward from the impact of the blast.
The Vetinari Dualegacy Chapter 19
The document provides an update on the lives of several characters in a fictional legacy story. Key events include: Xander had four alien babies; Rizzo and Zoe had three babies each; Cypress killed Archie and helped kill Xander; Coco became a vampire. Tess and Fair grew up, with Tess aspiring to eat grilled cheese and Fair wanting to be a media mogul. Bell and Whitney also grew up, with Bell wanting many dream dates. Anya the cat got pregnant. Cassidy continues visiting the Vetinari household despite family conflicts.
Theme for lit to upload
The theme is the central idea or message within a story. Writers commonly convey themes through the lessons learned by characters, whether a main character changes over the course of the story or comes to a new realization. Finding the theme involves analyzing what insights or understandings characters gain.
Ch01 slides
The document discusses technical communication, which refers to both the process of sharing technical information in the workplace and the documents and presentations used. It notes that technical communicators have three roles - as a writer, member of a project team, and information resource for others. Technical communication skills are important for one's career, making employees more valuable. Technical communication has six main characteristics, including addressing readers, helping solve problems, and using design and words or images to increase readability.

Removing Uninteresting Bytes in Software Fuzzing
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.

CAKE: Sharing Slices of Confidential Data on Blockchain
Presented at the CAiSE 2024 Forum, Intelligent Information Systems, June 6th, Limassol, Cyprus.
Synopsis: Cooperative information systems typically involve various entities in a collaborative process within a distributed environment. Blockchain technology offers a mechanism for automating such processes, even when only partial trust exists among participants. The data stored on the blockchain is replicated across all nodes in the network, ensuring accessibility to all participants. While this aspect facilitates traceability, integrity, and persistence, it poses challenges for adopting public blockchains in enterprise settings due to confidentiality issues. In this paper, we present a software tool named Control Access via Key Encryption (CAKE), designed to ensure data confidentiality in scenarios involving public blockchains. After outlining its core components and functionalities, we showcase the application of CAKE in the context of a real-world cyber-security project within the logistics domain.
