The key aspect of Blanche’s character is fear. The word magic” t.docxjmindy
The key aspect of Blanche’s character is fear. The word “ magic” to me means the desire to be forgiven.When Blanche says magic, this shows her self-consciousness unable to deal with her reality thus leading to fantasy. Blanche got married to her husband Allan at a very young age. Being married at a young age is difficult for any young woman. Having to give up your dreams and starting a home with all the responsibilities that come along is quite a challenge.She questioned how she could have been better or the reason as to why her husband cheated. She discovered that her husband was cheating her with a man and this made her feel that that she is not that type of woman that a husband can be satisfied with. Her husband died shortly after their marriage. He committed suicide. The grief of losing a loved one especially a spouse at a young age is beyond comprehension. Everyone wishes to grow old together with their spouse. Blanche loved her husband Allan very much, and this is evident when he died.In fact, she had to go to her sister’s apartment after she engaged herself in promiscuity in a bid to deal with her pain. Even though, that happened after she lost her husband by ten years. She could not bear the pain of losing her home. It must have hurt her so much.It must have made her feel like less a woman.Blanche’s self-esteem took a turn. She felt so low about her appearance and that is when she started dressing scantily to get the attention of other men. She sleeps around with any interested man from her hometown. This behavior may have made her feel that she is still desirable after her husband cheated on her. She sleeps around with men to try and dismiss her feelings of betrayal self-worthlessness. As a result of not being able to deal with her grief and turning into promiscuity, Blanche was chased away from her hotel due to her loose morals. Since she did not have anywhere else to go, she moved in with her sister and brother in law. Blanche did not enjoy her stay here as well, a woman dealing with the pain of low self-esteem would do anything to make herself relevant. During her stay there, she puts herself in a superior position thus that got her loathed. Blanche calls Stanley, her brother-in-law callous names and demeaning her sister makes her feel that she is way above others. She uses that to mask her past and what she has become as a person. Blanche is bitter about life because of all the things that have happened to her. Treating people in a demeaning way makes Blanche feel better because she can hurt people as much as she has gotten hurt before and also numb her pain for a while. Most of the negative things that happen to Blanche are a result of the pain she went through and she is trying to hide that pain which leads her into committing more mistakes.Blanche then finds a job as a teacher, but the glory did not last long. She allegedly slept with one of the students. Despite having a job and a fresh start, the pain wouldn't just go away, .
A Woman’s Voyage to the Inner Psyche in Shashi Deshpande’s Dark Holds No Terrorpaperpublications3
Abstract: Novel is probably an outcome of western culture and custom. Its arrival in India has taken its shape in different forms. Indo-English novels of the early nineteenth century have portrayal of male characters as stereotyped. Perhaps the societal influences made men and women writers to pen the suppression of women in their writings. A handful of women writers’ like Shashi Deshpande, Anita Desai, Shobha De, Namitha Gokhlae, and Kamala Markandaya gave voice for women’s inner struggles. These women novelists have incorporated the recurring female experiences in their writings. They tried to create awareness through their writings, which brought reformation, and it echoed over time. Issues on women are still prevailing everywhere. Ostensibly, every writer focuses women on asserting her rights.
Climate Impact of Software Testing at Nordic Testing DaysKari Kakkonen
My slides at Nordic Testing Days 6.6.2024
Climate impact / sustainability of software testing discussed on the talk. ICT and testing must carry their part of global responsibility to help with the climat warming. We can minimize the carbon footprint but we can also have a carbon handprint, a positive impact on the climate. Quality characteristics can be added with sustainability, and then measured continuously. Test environments can be used less, and in smaller scale and on demand. Test techniques can be used in optimizing or minimizing number of tests. Test automation can be used to speed up testing.

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.

One such alternative that has garnered significant attention and acclaim is Nitrux Linux 3.5.0, a sleek, powerful, and user-friendly Linux distribution that promises to redefine the way we interact with our devices. With its focus on performance, security, and customization, Nitrux Linux presents a compelling case for those seeking to break free from the constraints of proprietary software and embrace the freedom and flexibility of open-source computing.
A tale of scale & speed: How the US Navy is enabling software delivery from l...sonjaschweigert1
Rapid and secure feature delivery is a goal across every application team and every branch of the DoD. The Navy’s DevSecOps platform, Party Barge, has achieved:
- Reduction in onboarding time from 5 weeks to 1 day
- Improved developer experience and productivity through actionable findings and reduction of false positives
- Maintenance of superior security standards and inherent policy enforcement with Authorization to Operate (ATO)
Development teams can ship efficiently and ensure applications are cyber ready for Navy Authorizing Officials (AOs). In this webinar, Sigma Defense and Anchore will give attendees a look behind the scenes and demo secure pipeline automation and security artifacts that speed up application ATO and time to production.
We will cover:
- How to remove silos in DevSecOps
- How to build efficient development pipeline roles and component templates
- How to deliver security artifacts that matter for ATO’s (SBOMs, vulnerability reports, and policy evidence)
- How to streamline operations with automated policy checks on container images
Threats to mobile devices are more prevalent and increasing in scope and complexity. Users of mobile devices desire to take full advantage of the features
available on those devices, but many of the features provide convenience and capability but sacrifice security. This best practices guide outlines steps the users can take to better protect personal devices and information.
Observability Concepts EVERY Developer Should Know -- DeveloperWeek Europe.pdfPaige Cruz
Monitoring and observability aren’t traditionally found in software curriculums and many of us cobble this knowledge together from whatever vendor or ecosystem we were first introduced to and whatever is a part of your current company’s observability stack.
While the dev and ops silo continues to crumble….many organizations still relegate monitoring & observability as the purview of ops, infra and SRE teams. This is a mistake - achieving a highly observable system requires collaboration up and down the stack.
I, a former op, would like to extend an invitation to all application developers to join the observability party will share these foundational concepts to build on:

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).

Killer Instinct
1. Killer Instinct<br />Synopsis of Story<br />The city of London is calm, yet the dark windy weather of December bought more than just the cold wind into Sarah’s life, the shy, eighteen year old teenager who never had the confidence to speak up. Frightened of her future, she sat in her the office of the confident, intelligent and successful psychiatrist Dr. Sanam Ahmad, hoping for the doctor to bring some light in to her life.<br />Sarah’s unusual visions of the future led her to meeting the psychiatrist. The horrified girl has flash forward visions which she sees as dreams. Each night her ‘dream’ reveals her to this blurred image of people and places which eventually come true and she realises that those dreams are no longer dreams but visions of the future tense. After having these unusual visions for a sustained period of time, the visions start to become more sinister and take over her life as she is scared to death when she sees that she is killing an unknown man. With fear and confusion, she visits the psychiatrist, Dr. Sanam Ahmad where she complains about her last horrifying vision, where she sees herself brutally murdering a man. <br />Her meeting with the psychiatrist allows her to discover the cause of these visions, which is her childhood! Her past causes problems for her future. The psychiatrist makes Sarah go in to her past, back to when she was a little girl living with her father. Her father who was a failing scientist wanted to discover something so exciting that would lead him to be the most known scientist of all time. His passions for his work lead him to work day and night, which made him move all his scientific work at home. His day to day experiments, made him unaware of his daughter that longed for his attention and love. Sarah’s mother had died so her only hope was her father, but his neglections of his daughter lead her to an isolated social life. She lived her life with herself; her father put his work above his daughter. Because of this Sarah had no friends, no mother, no sister not even a father that she could talk to. <br />Sarah then comes out of her past and runs out of the psychiatrist’s office. Scared and frightened of what she had seen in the past, she ignores the psychiatrist and tries to avoid her. However, the psychiatrist takes deep interest in Sarah’s problem and wants to help her, not as a doctor but as a friend but because of Sarah’s lack of socialising she is unable to treat the psychiatrist as a friend, and still avoid her.<br />The psychiatrist does not give up and talks Sarah through her problems. She explains to her that she needs to fight her fears in order to get out of this problem. Sarah ends up listening to the psychiatrist and goes back in to her childhood, to deal with what she sees. Dr. Sanam uses many techniques such as hypnotism to help get Sarah’s mind back into her childhood and fight her fear of loneliness. As time goes by the psychiatrist tries to bring happiness in Sarah’s life. However, unknowingly she brings more grief into Sarah’s life as she persuades her to wait for her vision to come true and whatever happens she must deal with and fight till the end. The time of when her vision does come true, the psychiatrist’s techniques fail and Sarah ends up killing the man in her vision but shockingly finds out that the faded man in her visions is no one else but her farther whom she was neglected by. <br />
