Підзвітність депутатів місцевих рад Волині (8-ми рад)Volyn Media
У рамках проекту "Активна громада - відповідальний депутат" експерти Центру Політичного Аналізу та Виборчого Консалтингу проаналізували рівень відкритості та прозорості роботи рад, що взяли участь у проекті. Про це детально розповів виконавчий директор ЦПАВКу Михайло Шелеп. http://volynmedia.com/articles/2152/
According to the teachings of different religions, our life on earth is only a primary testing period. We are not supposed to relax and enjoy ourselves during the test, we should not expect that the test questions are clearly known in advance, we should expect difficulties during the test, and we will be rewarded according to our faith, our obedience, our compassion, and our good deeds
If we review the teachings of Judaism like Exodus 20:20, Deuteronomy 8:2, Deuteronomy 13:3, we find that God tests people to know who obeys and who does not obey
Exodus 16:4 teaches I may test them, whether they will walk in My law or not
In Exodus 20:20, Moses taught that God tests you so that the fear of God will be with you to keep you from sinning
The same teaching is also found in Deuteronomy 13:3
God is testing you to find out whether you love him with all your heart and with all your soul
In Deuteronomy 8:2-3, Moses taught that God tests people in order to know what is in their heart, whether or not they would keep his commands.
Deuteronomy 4:30 teaches that in tribulations, people would return to God and obey his voice
The same teachings are confirmed many times in the holy book
Job 23:10 teaches when he has tested me, I will come forth as gold
Job 5:7 teaches that we are here for testing
People are born for trouble as surely as sparks fly upward
Job 5:17 teaches blessed is the one whom God corrects; so do not despise the discipline of God
PSALM 11:4-5 teaches He watches everyone closely; examining every person on earth. God examines both the righteous and the wicked
Psalm 66:10 teaches For You, O God, have tested us; You have refined us as silver is refined
PROVERBS 17:3 teaches The refining pot is for silver and the furnace for gold, but God tests the hearts
ISAIAH 48:10 teaches I have refined you, but not as silver is refined.
Rather, I have refined you in the furnace of suffering
Jeremiah 17:10 teaches that God tests us and will reward everyone according to his works
Jesus taught that life is a test; he taught that we are in a temporary testing period and we are being prepared for a permanent life. He also taught that the rewards will be according to our obedience and our good works
Talking in parables, Jesus taught that God tests us by tribulation, temptation, trials, persecutions and promised rewards in heaven for those who pass those tests
Jesus has taught people to stand up for the truth even if persecuted by the bad multitudes who hate the truth. He taught that and also demonstrated it when he stood up for the truth against the bad chief priests who explained religion to their benefits
Blessed are those who are persecuted because of righteousness, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven - Matthew 5:10
God has set the world stage for testing; every day we meet hungry and poor people; some will help and some will refuse to help; those would not be rewarded similarly

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).

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!
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.

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:

Editor's Notes
Martin Luther King was a black man. Who was borned in Georgia, Atlanta in the United States of America. He was born in 1929 and he was assasinated in 1968 only 39 years old. Martin was - among many other coloured people, segregated from the community. Which means that a race is set a apart or away from other people. As you can see on this picture colored people had a different drinking fountains than the whites. That was just one out of many examples. Luther wanted change.
I have a dream. Martin had a dream of equal rights for blacks and whites. Oh that rhymed, anyway. The apartheid regime taught different. They had the theory that coloured people is less worth than whites, so what did they do? They split the up. Whites go here, blacks go there. As said Luther wanted to change this. So he origanized, led and was apart of many non-violent demonstrations. Among them The March of Washington and the Bus Boycott in Montgomery.
The March of Washington found place in Washington DC, obviously, on August 28, 1963. The motto was Jobs and freedom for all and over 300000 people attended to the march. Martin Luther was one of the leaders of the demonstartion and he held one of North Americas most popular speech, ever. The speech said that he had a dream of equal rights. “I have a dream today” he said. And it was a huge success and an important step in to the war for equal rights.
The same year as the March of Washington President John F. Kennedy was killed, that was a huge loss of kings case. A breakthrough foundplace when the new president, Lyndon B. Johnson signed a law that consisted of the following sentence; blacks and whites are equal. In 1964 Luther traveled to Norway to receive the Noble Peace Prize for his work. Some years later in april1968 he was assassinated by marksman named James Earl Ray, and died an hour later. His grave was engraved with the words “Free at last, free at last thank god almighty and free at last”
