From: Your name
Subject: Name the memo
The first paragraph of a memo states the reason you’re writing it. Cite the problem or challenge you’ll address, and describe the structure the memo. Keep the first paragraph to about 5-6 lines, made up of 3-4 sentences. In all paragraphs, write sentences between 10-15 words to maintain a high comprehension rate, typically between 90-95 percent. At times, you’ll write a few shorter sentences (5-7 words), and you’ll write a few longer ones (20-25 words). Any sentence composed of two independent thoughts will be connected by a comma followed by a coordinating conjunction (For, And, Nor, But, Or, Yet, and So, spelling FANBOYS). Keep your writing simple and direct. In this memo, you will read about memo structure tools, using headers, inserting tables, figures, and graphs, and end with a recommendation.
Incorporating Memo Structure Tools
The second paragraph starts to explain your issue, and introduce it with a header if you write a memo longer than one page. You build on your opening paragraph with specific information, following the description of the structure of the memo. For all business documents use one inch margins all the way around (top, bottom, left, and right). For font size, choose 11 point, and use either Times New Roman or Ariel. To reveal the “paragraph marks and other hidden formatting symbols” symbol, , click on the icon in the middle of the Home tab or use (Ctrl + Shift + *) to see paragraph symbols. Keep all table information on the same page.
With all paragraphs, don’t exceed eight lines in length (I count the number of lines), and write between 4-6 clear and concise sentences, following the average word count per sentence. Start with the noun and verb, add appropriate adjectives and limit adverbs. For me, adverbs don’t add much to a message: What’s the difference between hot and very hot? Hot is hot!!! Also, people use “very” too often, but what does it add? NOT much. Lastly, Don’t Get Wordy!!!
With documents more than one page, use headers and subheaders. A one-page memo would not need headers, unless you want to stress the last two paragraphs: Conclusion & Recommendation. The first paragraph, which functions as an introduction, does not need a heading since it provides direction, lists activities, and makes a recommendation.
A header and subheaders need a few paragraphs to explain or support a header/subheader. Don’t go from a header to a subheader without a paragraph after the header to introduce that section. Don’t use a header, one paragraph, a header, a paragraph, a header, a paragraph, and so on, and applies to subheader use. With headers or subheaders, they don’t stand alone, especially at the end of a page so hit the Enter key to move it to the top of the next page.
A header introduces the next section (composed of a few paragraphs). Headers are centered, justif.

Elevating Tactical DDD Patterns Through Object CalisthenicsDorra BARTAGUIZ
After immersing yourself in the blue book and its red counterpart, attending DDD-focused conferences, and applying tactical patterns, you're left with a crucial question: How do I ensure my design is effective? Tactical patterns within Domain-Driven Design (DDD) serve as guiding principles for creating clear and manageable domain models. However, achieving success with these patterns requires additional guidance. Interestingly, we've observed that a set of constraints initially designed for training purposes remarkably aligns with effective pattern implementation, offering a more ‘mechanical’ approach. Let's explore together how Object Calisthenics can elevate the design of your tactical DDD patterns, offering concrete help for those venturing into DDD for the first time!

Kubernetes & AI - Beauty and the Beast !?! @KCD Istanbul 2024Tobias Schneck
As AI technology is pushing into IT I was wondering myself, as an “infrastructure container kubernetes guy”, how get this fancy AI technology get managed from an infrastructure operational view? Is it possible to apply our lovely cloud native principals as well? What benefit’s both technologies could bring to each other?
Let me take this questions and provide you a short journey through existing deployment models and use cases for AI software. On practical examples, we discuss what cloud/on-premise strategy we may need for applying it to our own infrastructure to get it to work from an enterprise perspective. I want to give an overview about infrastructure requirements and technologies, what could be beneficial or limiting your AI use cases in an enterprise environment. An interactive Demo will give you some insides, what approaches I got already working for real.
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. 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.

FIDO Alliance Osaka Seminar: The WebAuthn API and Discoverable Credentials.pdf
The Example of Muet report writing
1. MUET Report Writing : Profile of Professionals & Their
Main Goals
Guidelines to write this report:
1)Introduction
Begin with the phrase "The tables show ...... and ......" or "Table 1 shows .... while Table 2
shows ...."
2. As usual, use the headings of the tables.
2) Overview
Yes! This report only has an Overview ( and not an Overall Trend). Why? because there is no
movement in the data. So avoid "Trend" words like "increase/increasing";
"decrease/decreasing", etc
There's also no cause-and-effect relationship between the tables. So, observe the difference
in the ranking of the main goals according to the two different age groups. Write about this
as the Overview.
3) Analysis
To write the analysis and synthesis, these are a few things you need be aware of:
1) The goals (1st column in Table 2) are the the key features
2) You need the ranking words (or the Analysis words, as I call them): higher/lower than,
the highest/lowest, topped/top-ranked/top priority, last.
3) This question is about ranking of goals. So in your Analysis (Table 2) or Synthesis, you
need to use "was/were ranked"; "ranked" or other similar words to show the ranking of
goals.
4) What's in the columns & rows (all the numbers in Table 2, the percentages, RMs, number
of years) are the data.
Analysis Table 1:
Compare the average income, average work experience and marital status of the two groups
of professionals. Use "higher than", "lower than", "more", and/or "less"
Refer to the two groups according to their positions, as "senior managers" or "junior
executives".
You may also refer to them as "professionals of age group ( 46-55 or 18-27) years" but this is
rather long. If you want to use this phrase, please limit the use to only once or twice in your
report.
Example: " The average income of the senior managers (RM10,000) was higher than that of
the junior executives (RM3000)"
Analysis Table 2:
For Analysis in this table, you compare the ranking of the goals according to the two groups
of professionals.
You can use all the Analysis words I mentioned in No 2 above (higher/lower than, the
highest/lowest, topped/top-ranked/top priority, last) and write the respective Analysis. Of
course, these words must be used with the words "ranked", "was/were ranked", etc because
that's what we are discussing/explaining : the ranking of the goals.
Example: "The senior managers ranked [goal] the highest [at no ...] while the junior
executives ranked it lower [at no ...]". YES! YOU MUST STILL COMPARE THE TWO
COLUMNS! The number (of ranking) must be given as that is DATA.
4) Synthesis
To write the Synthesis successfully, you must connect, link or relate the information
3. between both tables. Yet, the connection or link must be logical. So you need to be aware of
these details:
1
2
PROFILE
Age Group
Position
3
Average Income
4
Average Work
Experience
Marital Status
5
KEY FEATURES
Be more healthy
Improve technology skills
Improve communication skills
Make more money
Save money
Improve technology skills
Improve communication skills
Make new friends
Spend more time with family
What it means is, if you write the senior managers ranked the goal of being more healthy the
highest, it is because of their age (mention the age); like this:
" The senior managers ranked be more healthy as the highest (at No 1) because they were
older (46-55 years old)"
So whatever key features/goals you would like to write on, link or relate them to the profile
as given in the table.
A more advanced Synthesis sentence is to compare both groups of professionals profiles as
well as ranking of goals in one sentence like this:
"The older professionals with 20 years of working experience, ranked improving technology
and communication skills as 5th and 6th respectively while the younger professionals with 5
years working experience ranked them 2nd and 3rd respectively"
"The older professionals with 20 years of working experience" - Profile / Table 1
"ranked improving technology and communication skills as 5th and 6th respectively" Ranking of goals/ Table 2.
"the younger professionals with 5 years working experience" - Profile / Table 1
"ranked them 2nd and 3rd respectively" - Ranking of goals / Table 2
* Take note that a successful Synthesis sentence must contain the Key Features +
Ranking/Trend/Analysis words + Profile.
5)Conclusion
The conclusion is just a restatement of the Overview. Avoid using the Overview as the
conclusion.
Changing the sentence structure of the Overview is a good way to restate. If your Overview
earlier is in the Active Voice, now write the conclusion in the Passive Voice.
Another way is to change the words to other words of similar meaning. For example, if you
use "different age groups" in the Overview, now use "the two groups of professionals" in the
conclusion.
