Swerve™ is the first all-natural zero calorie sweetener that tastes, measures, cooks and bakes like sugar. One cup of Swerve™ equals one cup of sugar.
No special recipes needed for cooking and baking. Now you can have the foods you love without the calories. Swerve™ is not degraded by heat, so you can cook with it just like sugar, something you can’t really do with other sweeteners.

Building a New Substation from the Ground Up- Start off on the right foot wit...Roozbeh Molavi
When upgrading to Ethernet-based communications, we were on the lookout for a relatively reliable and standardized solution that supported recognized redundancy standards. For mission-critical, time-sensitive substation applications, network interruptions as short as a few milliseconds can have a severe impact on system operations and jeopardize the safety of onsite personnel. For this reason, we needed a solution that could quickly connect our legacy devices to networks guaranteed to provide bumpless operation, even in the face of single points of failure.

Future Urban Design for the Emergence of a Fluid Sense of SelfUniversity of Oxford
Given the growing pace of urbanisation and the need for developing cohesive, and resilient communities, it is crucial to discuss how we can better design the space of our future cities. Inspired by the movement of open spaces in cities across the world, resilience theory and the concept of smart cities, I demonstrate that city and human resilience are tightly interlinked and it is possible to positively influence both through utilising the transformative power of open spaces and smart technologies in novel ways. Moreover, drawing on my main line of research on resilience of complex adaptive systems (e.g., people, places and natural systems), I present synthetic ways to rethink urban design and harness the transformative function of flexible structures such as open spaces and pervasive technologies such as Internet of Things to help people and communities explore new sociocultural possibilities that open them up to explore new possibilities, and eventually shifting our shared social realities toward new horizons.

Generating a custom Ruby SDK for your web service or Rails API using Smithyg2nightmarescribd
Have you ever wanted a Ruby client API to communicate with your web service? Smithy is a protocol-agnostic language for defining services and SDKs. Smithy Ruby is an implementation of Smithy that generates a Ruby SDK using a Smithy model. In this talk, we will explore Smithy and Smithy Ruby to learn how to generate custom feature-rich SDKs that can communicate with any web service, such as a Rails JSON API.
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!

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.

RESILIENCE: 2 important concepts:
ROBUSTNESS: ability to withstand impact
ADAPTIVE CAPACITY: ability to adjust to new conditions
MODERN CITY INHERITS MANY CONCEPTS BELONGING TO RESILIENCE:
CITY = COMPLEX ADAPTIVE SYSTEM WITH VARIOUS DEGREES OF:
-high degree of redundancy > robustness
-self-organizing behavior (social, economic, technical) > adaptation
-various degrees of bottom-up behavior
-complex system
-city’s sustainability a function of emergent behavior
WE CAN VIEW THE CITY AS A ‘SOCIAL NETWORK’ CONSISTING OF NUMEROUS

RESILIENCE: still badly understood:

> DIFFICULT TO ENGINEER RESILIENCE (COST-BENEFIT)
RESILIENT TO WHAT? What is the threat?
RESILIENT IN WHICH DOMAIN? Economic resilience, Ecologic resilience, etc.
RESILIENT TO WHAT EXTEND? Recovery period, effects of changes
RESILIENT TO WHAT SCALE-LEVEL? Individual vs System
NEED FOR RESILIENCE INDICATORS > IMPACT MODEL
