This document discusses the time dimension of Standard & Poor's credit ratings. It explores how:
1) Creditworthiness and the risk of default are inherently connected to time. Different types of obligors tend to display differing paths of deterioration before defaulting.
2) Credit rating systems can treat time in various ways when defining creditworthiness. S&P's system incorporates aspects of multiple paradigms, including fixed default metrics and cycle-adjusted metrics.
3) Ratings can be both forward-looking, incorporating forecasts, and timely, fully reflecting current views. Credit stability, time, and macroeconomic stress interact in complex ways.
The document discusses the marketing mix, which consists of 7Ps - Price, Product, Promotion, Place, People, Process, and Physical Environment. It was originally the 4Ps (Price, Product, Promotion, Place) but has been extended to encompass services. Each P is then defined in its own section, outlining factors like pricing strategy, product differentiation methods, promotional strategies beyond advertising, distribution channels, staff representation, consumer processes, and environmental presentation. Proper use of the marketing mix depends on objectives, product, market, and competitors.
This document provides an overview and summary of Standard & Poor's methodology for determining Banking Industry Country Risk Assessments (BICRAs). The methodology evaluates the economic and industry risks facing banking systems in different countries. Economic risk is assessed based on factors like economic resilience, imbalances, and credit risk in the economy. Industry risk considers the regulatory framework, competitive dynamics, and funding stability. Scores are assigned on a scale of 1 to 6 for each risk factor, which are then combined to determine an overall BICRA group ranking from 1 to 10. The document outlines the key factors and sub-factors considered in the analysis.
The document provides tips for understanding a new code base by taking a top-down approach of first understanding the overall purpose and architecture before diving into specific components. It recommends starting with understanding the purpose, architecture, and then breaking the code base into components to understand each piece and how they fit together. Key steps include understanding the file hierarchy, dependencies, necessary tools, and potential challenges. Finding "lifesavers" like mentors, research resources, and additional readings can help ease the process of diving into a new code base.

If the answer is "yes," you can find out how to grow your client or brand and make Social Media work for you. From best practices to innovative tools, you\'ll discover strategies to wrangle the ROI you need to succeed.
Personal branding is all about leveraging your brand to make money. Here is a strategic approach to personal branding from personal brand expert Casey Knox.
The document discusses challenges to entrepreneurship in Pakistan, including lack of support systems, lack of access to financial capital, and cultural pressures. Specifically, it notes that without family wealth, the only financing options are banks requiring collateral most entrepreneurs do not have, or loan sharks. Additionally, Pakistani culture does not encourage independence or risk-taking needed for entrepreneurial success. The document advocates for teaching entrepreneurs how to secure support and determine if their ideas are viable to help address these issues.

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.

Webinar Recording: https://www.panagenda.com/webinars/hcl-notes-and-domino-license-cost-reduction-in-the-world-of-dlau/
The introduction of DLAU and the CCB & CCX licensing model caused quite a stir in the HCL community. As a Notes and Domino customer, you may have faced challenges with unexpected user counts and license costs. You probably have questions on how this new licensing approach works and how to benefit from it. Most importantly, you likely have budget constraints and want to save money where possible. Don’t worry, we can help with all of this!
We’ll show you how to fix common misconfigurations that cause higher-than-expected user counts, and how to identify accounts which you can deactivate to save money. There are also frequent patterns that can cause unnecessary cost, like using a person document instead of a mail-in for shared mailboxes. We’ll provide examples and solutions for those as well. And naturally we’ll explain the new licensing model.
Join HCL Ambassador Marc Thomas in this webinar with a special guest appearance from Franz Walder. It will give you the tools and know-how to stay on top of what is going on with Domino licensing. You will be able lower your cost through an optimized configuration and keep it low going forward.
These topics will be covered
- Reducing license cost by finding and fixing misconfigurations and superfluous accounts
- How do CCB and CCX licenses really work?
- Understanding the DLAU tool and how to best utilize it
- Tips for common problem areas, like team mailboxes, functional/test users, etc
- Practical examples and best practices to implement right away

-I took my first computer science course at Harvard in fall of 2011\n-Failed both exams (really failed)\n-Exposed to Python at a hackathon event\n-Did my final project in Python\n-A site to give understanding to the user’s personal inflation rate\n-Finished the course with superior marks, not sure how...\n-I wasn’t finished learning Python, so I started a study series within Women Who Code\n-Women Who Code is a 1300 member meetup group in the Bay area that holds events just to meet other women coders in the area. There are a few study groups going on, including front end and ruby on rails.\n\n-The energy behind the series carried over to give a great start for the San Francisco chapter of PyLadies. So far we’ve hosted two large events, including one hack night where men came as female attendees’ plus one. The other event was a build your own blog workshop, which was quite popular. We also continually have regular coffee & hack meetings & study groups, and will a lot in the pipeline.\n\n\n

Within women who code, I focused on Project Based learning, where week over week, I would learn before the meet up, and give a small tutorial on digestible projects. \n\nI also wanted to great a safe space. I did that by 1) keeping a positive & inclusive attitude, and that wasn’t hard because I was excited to learn and teach my fellow newbies, 2) the fact that I was also learning with them created an even playing field.\n\nLastly, the gal that founded Women Who Code gave me the advice to go big or go home, so I went big and got Guido van Rossum to come kick off the first meet up of the series.\n

-I started off with the Twitter API because it was a simple interface with good documentation on how to use it. \n-It also allowed for women to be introduced to the terminal for bash and for the python shell\n\n-We then had some fun with data, where we learned to handle it with python’s data types and csv library. We took a big file of data that was difficult to understand, parsed it, and plotted it with different end goals. One dataset we used was the SF crime data, and we used numpy & matplotlib to get simple graphs of rates of crimes, as well as use Google’s Map APIs to plot it around our neighborhoods. Certainly these tools already exist but the women really enjoyed seeing how they could do something exactly like that.\n\n-Our final project for the Women Who Code study series was a group website using Django. As a group, we decided what applications we wanted on our website, including pulling in event data from the Meetup API, a form to match up mentors and mentees, a blog, and a page for tools that women can comment on and share what they like to use when developing.\n

-During these events, I really want to great a safe space, without competition or one-up’s-manship. \n-The positive attitude is key; but it’s easy to keep a positive attitude because we’re all here for the same thing! To be surrounded by awesome women, to learn, and to help each other out.\n
At PyLadies’ first event, a Hack Night, we had designated areas for newbies with mentors walking around for assistance\n
-Within the workshops and study groups I host, I will encourage women to come up and talk about little bits of what they did, or explain a topic that I’m having difficulty connecting the audience with.\n\n-This gal here was pulled up in front of the Women Who Code’rs to show how she figured out how to plot the SF crime data into Google Maps’ API before we even got to that part in the study series. After her mini-presentation, she thanked me for essentially forcing her to get some speaking experience in.\n
-inspiration is key\n-I brought in voices that women could related to and understand.\n
-Guido was awesome enough to come in and kick off our first event\n-allowed the women to be existed about the new group\n-showed how easily accessible the community can be\n-answered some tough questions about the global interpreter lock, and even explained what the global interpreter lock (although, I’m still not fully understanding it myself.)\n\n-Leah Culver came in to kick off our Django segment and gave a really good introduction to Model, View, Controller concept\n\n-A Berkeley researcher also dropped by to show some awesome ways to handle data through numpy, scipy, and matplotlib.\n\n-Kaitlyn Trigger, the creator of Lovestagram, a Django overlay for Instagram, came in to tell us how she learned Python & Django to build this app as a valentine’s day gift to her boyfriend, the creator of Instagram.\n\n

I want to quickly point out what I learned while hosting the weekly study groups and starting my own PyLadies chapter.\n
CONFIDENCE\nSome women I’ve met have issues with confidence because either they can’t get passed an error by themselves; or they’re switching careers or learning something new.\n-How I helped overcome my confidence issue is surrounding myself with helpful people\n-How I helped women overcome their confidence is through tutorial work, with a final, tangible project as a goal\n-I picked tutorials that would inadvertently demand learning other important topics in computer science or general developing\n-For instance, I hosted a Build your own Blog workship, which I required them to understand virtual environments as well as class based views as a means to understand inheritance\n-With Women Who Code working on a group Django project, Git & Github was introduced for understanding version control\n\nINCLUSIVENESS\n-Women need women-only groups not because they need extra help, but they need an inclusive environment.\n-Most events I hold, they are for women only and for those who identify as being a women. Occassionally it’s women +1, where a men can come but only as a guest of a PyLady\n\nCOMMUNITY\n-I wanted myself and other women to get exposed to the Python community as a whole. I received funding and passes to bring down a 5 women to PyCon this past March.\n-Maybe the talks were over some folks’ heads, but all enjoyed learning new aspects of Python and development, as well as building relationships with others within the Python community, and to see how supportive sponsors are for Python developers.\n-I also do this with other conferences, including the upcoming OSCON where PyLadies will be represented.\n-My next step in getting involved with the Python community is actually organizing a spring for Django next month, where PyLadies + other Django community members will sprint on documentation and the tutorial itself. I want PyLadies to feel like they can contribute back to the community they belong in.\n

Find/create a welcoming environment\n-On meetup.com, there weren’t many, if at all, tech & women groups. But I highly suggest finding one for the camaraderie and the support network. \n-However if you can’t find one by your Google-fu skills, let me help you make a group! \n-Every woman here is a PyLady, but if you’d like to start up a group, casual or not, I have a PyLadies starter kit repo on GitHub for those interested. In your current network of women, whether coworkers or meeting for the first time, email everyone about your interest and your goals. Meeting for coffee once a month is just as great as having a technical workshop or a speaker.\n\nShare your experiences\n-There are a shortage of female speakers at PyCon and EuroPython. I encourage every woman to share her experience, or to share some awesome tool she built, or present on a better way to approach problems; anything.\n-If uncertain or shy to go for PyCon or next year’s EuroPython, give a 5 minute talk at an Ignite or Pecha Kucha event; a lightning talk at a technical meetup; at work; or force it upon your friends\n-If interested but no idea, seek out a friend who knows your strengths to help you ideate.\n\nEncouragement\n-Finally, encourage yourself and your fellow PyLadies to speak at conferences or events (anyone might need a nudge); join groups that allow for that safe space, be it women-only or not; and to value your own contribution and work to the community - it’s very needed.\n\n
