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

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).

3. Denudation is the long-term sum of processes that cause the
wearing away of the earth’s surface leading to a reduction in
elevation and relief of landforms and landscapes.
Weathering is the breaking down of rocks, soils and minerals as
well as artificial materials through contact with the Earth’s
atmospheric , biota and waters. Weathering occurs in situ, or "with
no movement“
Erosion refers to the processes which break up, transport and
deposit weathered materials and rocks. Its agents includes :
water, ice, snow, wind, waves and gravity.
Mass Wasting is the movement of weathered materials (with or
without water or ice) downslope by the force of gravity
4.
5. The processes of weathering are facilitated by
two important elements of climate:
temperature and rainfall
The processes of weathering may be placed
into three categories:
1. Physical / Mechanical Weathering
2. Chemical Weathering
3. Biotic / Biological Weathering
6. The form of weathering results in the break-up of rock into
small pieces with no change in the chemical structure and
physical appearance of the rocks. This type of weathering is
most common in cold and dry climates. Physical weathering can
occur due to temperature, pressure, frost etc.
Temperature Changes
Frost action
Pressure Release
7.
8.
9. Certain frost-susceptible soils expand upon freezing as
a result of water traveling via capillary action to grow
ice lenses near the freezing front. This same
phenomenon occurs within pore spaces of rocks. The
ice accumulations grow larger as they attract liquid
water from the surrounding pores. The ice crystal
growth weakens the rocks which, in time, break up. It is
caused by the approximately 10% (9.87) expansion of
ice when water freezes, which can place considerable
stress on anything containing the water as it freezes.

11. A rock in Abisko, Sweden fractured along existing joints possibly
by frost weathering or thermal stress
12. Pressure Release
Pressure release could have caused the exfoliated granite sheets
shown in the picture.
When rocks form under great pressure (volcanic rocks for example)
are exposed on the surface, the release of the pressure of overlying
layers causes them to expand, crack and breakup. Pressure release
forms areas of large broken blocks of rock.
Intrusive igneous rocks (e.g. granite) are formed deep beneath the
Earth's surface. They are under tremendous pressure because of
the overlying rock material. When erosion removes the overlying
rock material, these intrusive rocks are exposed and the pressure
on them is released. The outer parts of the rocks then tend to
expand. The expansion sets up stresses which cause fractures
parallel to the rock surface to form. Over time, sheets of rock break
away from the exposed rocks along the fractures, a process known
as exfoliation. Exfoliation due to pressure release is also known as
"sheeting".
13. Chemical Weathering
Processes
Chemical weathering changes the chemical structure and
physical appearance of the rock. The rock decomposes. It
occurs rapidly in hot , wet climates such as the Caribbean.
Limestone which is made of calcium carbonate is especially
vulnerable to the chemical weathering process known as
carbonation.
14. Carbonation
Rainwater absorbs carbon dioxide in the atmosphere to produce a
weak carbonic acid. This acid acts on the calcium carbonate in
limestone to form calcium bicarbonate. Calcium bicarbonate is
dissolved by water. This results in pits and holes common in
limestone areas and known as karst landforms.
The reactions as follows:
16. Oxidation
This is the process of oxygen being added to a
compound. Rocks rich in iron react with oxygen in water
to form iron oxide as in the rusting of iron. The effect is
a thin soft crust on the outer part of the rock that is
easily broken down.
17. Solution
This occurs in rocks containing salts such as
sodium and potassium that are soluble in water.
Rainwater falling on these rocks will eventually
dissolve them.
18. Biotic/ Biological Weathering
Process
Biotic weathering is the result of the physical or
chemical effects of plants and animals on a rock; they
may cause disintegration or decomposition of rock.
19. Plant roots
Plant roots may get into cracks and spaces of a rock and break it
apart as they grow. This is a physical process, leading to
disintegration of rocks.
Decayed Vegetation
These may release organic acids which chemically alter rocks
21. Activity 1. Answer the following questions
1. Explain how rocks are affected by
(i) ONE physical weathering process
(ii) ONE biotic/ biological weathering process
2.Give two characteristics of Limestone
3. Differentiate between chemical weathering and physical
weathering
4. Explain two ways in which weathering is affected by climate
5. State clearly the meaning of the terms- ‘weathering’ and
‘erosion’
