Connector Corner: Automate dynamic content and events by pushing a buttonDianaGray10
Here is something new! In our next Connector Corner webinar, we will demonstrate how you can use a single workflow to:
Create a campaign using Mailchimp with merge tags/fields
Send an interactive Slack channel message (using buttons)
Have the message received by managers and peers along with a test email for review
But there’s more:
In a second workflow supporting the same use case, you’ll see:
Your campaign sent to target colleagues for approval
If the “Approve” button is clicked, a Jira/Zendesk ticket is created for the marketing design team
But—if the “Reject” button is pushed, colleagues will be alerted via Slack message
Join us to learn more about this new, human-in-the-loop capability, brought to you by Integration Service connectors.

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!

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.

5. Livestock support livelihoods
• In many developing countries, especially SSA, livestock contributes at least
40% agriculture GDP
• Around one billion poor people depend on livestock: 70% of the rural and 25%
urban poor. Dependency: 12-50%
• Livestock high value and rapidly growing sector
Projected global consumption in 2050
Rosegrant et al., 2009
6. Livestock nourish billions
• Over half developing world’s food
(crops and livestock) comes from
population (millions)
mixed crop livestock systems -
livestock are integral
• Livestock provide food for over 480.3 295.1
830 million food insecure people:
6-36% of protein and 2-12% of 1099.2
calories
• Small amounts of animal source
foods make a huge difference to
nutrition (cognitive development,
maternal health) 2674
7. Livestock bring lethal gifts …..
• Low income countries:
• Zoonoses & diseases emerged from animals 26% IDB, 10% total burden
• High income countries:
• Zoonoses & emerged 0.7% IDB, 0.02% total burden
8. Livestock have a long shadow…
• 31% of total freshwater use is for is for livestock
• Livestock impact on climate change- 18%?
• Livestock compete for other land uses

10. Impacts of the CGIAR
65% of the total area planted to the world’s 10 most important food
crops is sown to improved varieties
The overall economic benefits of the CGIAR estimated at US$14 -
$120 billion
For every $1 invested in CGIAR research, $9 worth of additional food
is produced in the developing world
Without CGIAR research developing countries would produce 8%
less food and have converted12 million more hectares to farm land
Around 80,000 students, scientists and professionals have benefited
from capacity-building

20. LESSONS AROUND INOVATION & INCENTIVE
FAILURE IS GETTING EASIER TO PREDICT – but not necessarily
success
INNOVATIONS ARE THE LEVER – but often succeed in the project
context but not in the real world
PICKING WINNERS IS WISE BUT PORTOFOLIO SHOULD BE WIDER–
strong markets and growing sectors drive uptake
INCENTIVES ARE CENTRAL: value chain actors need to capture visible
benefits
POLICY: not creating enabling policy, so much as stopping the dead hand
of disabling policy and predatory policy-implementers
“think like a systemicist, act like a reductionist”
CRP4 was submitted by IFPRI; proposal was prepared in close collaboration with ILRI, and with support from 10 other Centers and an extensive consultation process with a large number of partners from ag, health, nutr
