The Kouprey is an endangered species of wild cattle found in Cambodia and Laos. It has a dark brown coat, long horns, and lives in herds of 20 in grasslands and forests near water sources. Kouprey are nocturnal and herbivorous. Their population declined due to hunting for skulls, horns and meat, but increased in 2000. Conservation groups are working to protect Kouprey through awareness campaigns, donations, and anti-poaching laws. If these efforts continue, experts hope the population will remain stable.
Huli are the largest ethnic group live in the Southern Highlands province of Papua New Guinea, numbering more than 90000 people.They are a short, stocky and muscular people with varying shades of brown skin, coarse, tightly bound black hair and brown eyes. There are also a small percentage of red-heads with very light brown skin. The Huli personality is characterized by a tendency to be very proud, strong, self-assertive and very individualistic, yet modest, religious and community-minded. They regard their culture as being superior to that of their neighbors, though they do borrow cultural elements from them. The Huli are keenly aware of their history and folklore as evidenced in their knowledge of family genealogy and traditions. They are known both as some of the most fierce warriors in the region and as masterful “hairstylists”who craft flamboyant wigs out of their own hair. It takes around six months for the hair to grow big enough for a nice wig, at which point it’s cut off from underneath. In earlier times, they would use bamboo to separate the hair from the scalp, but nowadays the Huli use knives. Once removed, the wigs are decorated with feathers from various birds, including parrots, birds of paradise and killer cassowaries. The men leave Bachelor School with 2-3 wigs that they use in festive times, festivals, weddings and greeting tourists. Despite what you may think about guys who make fancy wigs, the Huli are as manly as they come. They have a terrible reputation for fighting among themselves and with other tribes and their fierce look is enough to terrify a lot of people. The men live separate from Huli women, they don’t eat together, and rarely sleep in the same bed. Children are raised by their mothers. The men will occasionally spend some time with them, but for most of their lives, the Wigmen live among fellow warriors.

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.

Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.
