Islam teaches that women are to be evaluated for their
intelligence, opinions, skills, deeds and inner qualities
rather than physical appearance. A Muslim woman who
covers her body is making a statement about herself and
her identity; she has dignity, respectability, self-esteem
and is proud of her Islam. Whoever sees her will know
that she is not available to men or interested in
advances, that she has an upright moral character, and
that she will not permit sexuality to enter into any of
her necessary interactions with the opposite sex.
Women often see their Islamic dress as empowering
because they are taken seriously and respected rather
than being viewed as sex objects – they are judged only
by their character and conduct.

Prejudice, Discrimination, Power, and Privilege
In the world, the societies have been and still to this day diverse and this issue is clear in the United States. For example in a situation that comes to mind is how young men and boys of color living in the US face being murdered by police which is one of the main causes of death for young black men and boys in the United States. A showed that about 1 in 1,000 black males in America will more than likely die at the hands of cops which puts them at a greater chance of being murdered than white young men and boys during the same type of encounter (Los Angeles Times, 2019). Diversity in different states in the US has been an issue for a very long time where malpractices such as discrimination, abuse of power, and prejudice have become reality.
Over the past generations dramatic social and legal changes have been pursued to pave the way for women’s acceptance today; changes such as affirmative action, reproductive rights, abortion, and the pursuit of higher education. Generations of women have come together to help build stronger ground to address women’s rights by participating in civil rights meetings, petition drives, lobbying, public speaking and non-violent resistance acts. Women have also overcome hardships such as rejection, isolation, discrimination, and unfair treatment in the workforce. In today’s society women now have more opportunities then ever before such as involvement in social clubs, career advancement, as well as being able to run for public office. In contrast women have faced inequalities with issues pertaining to the workplace, sports, and pregnancy. In many positions in which women hold the same titles as males they are typically offered less compensation then their male counterparts. The sporting arena, for example, is set up to be a male dominated event. Specifically in terms of sports such as basketball and tennis with players such as Venus and Serena Williams are not equally compensated financially compared to male players. Women are also not treated fairly when they are pregnant and in the workforce. Throughout history women have been frowned upon due to having to leave the workforce because of pregnancy and wanting to care for the child. Muslim women like any other women have the right to be treated equally and the right to exercise their religious beliefs and freedom without prejudice and discrimination. This; however; has not been the case as many Muslim women have undergone and are still undergoing ethnic; racial, gender, and religious discrimination harassment and discrimination. A good example of this discrimination has been seen in Saudi Arabia where for a very long time women have been ...

My travel
I can still remember the first time I thought about leaving Saudi Arabia, my home, to study abroad. it was an important and difficult decision. So I made a list of eligible counties that I would love to explore and learn their culture. At first, I was leaning towards the UK because it was closer to Saudi Arabia than any other country on my list, and I thought they were better at teaching English. However, the UK was more expensive to live in, plus I felt the United States would be better in terms of living expenses and the people are friendlier than the UK. Being from Saudi Arabia, means I come from a different culture and there is a great deal of cultural differences between the two countries. For instance, the huge jumps in climate change, from a very sunny and hot weather most of the times of the year to an extremely cold and rainy weather in the winter here in Seattle. I also had to add a lot of winter clothing to my closet. Furthermore, I think these cultural differences I’m going to address in my essay have added a lot to my personality without even knowing .For example, after being through with many changes in all that particular time I spent here in the US,I have developed new skills, altitudes, norms, values and methods all with an aim to overcome many obstacles faced and suffered though due to the big ,vast and diverse differences between my culture and the culture of this part of the country, I am in right now. During my stay here in the Seattle area, I have had my fair share of awkward moments and encounters one of which is something called the private space. I even did not know if this term “private space” existed before. For example, when you kiss a male friend on the cheek, people around you might think you and your friend have some sort of a relationship, a serious one indeed. In some countries, it is completely normal and people do it on a daily basis without it depicting any relationship information. According to us, kissing is public way of showing respect. I have been doing it for over twenty years now. Due to their culture and norms, I had to use the normal American way of shaking hands which they were used to it, and may be give a small hug to my closest friends. The second thing was foods and drinks. When I arrived at America, I was not able to eat well .Additionally; I did not even know how to cook. Traditional Saudi Arabia cuisine is relatively similar to those other Middle Eastern foods. The most known middle eastern foods include: lamb, rice and a very wide variety of vegetables and spices. Saudi Arabia is an Islamic nation. Since pork is prohibited and totally not allowed among the Muslims, it is not available in all Saudi Arabia. Both Gahwah(a coffee of unroasted beans and cardamom) and tea, are very popular. There is a great difference in our types of foods and theirs. Ours is more of s variety of diff ...

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).

Securing your Kubernetes cluster_ a step-by-step guide to success !KatiaHIMEUR1
Today, after several years of existence, an extremely active community and an ultra-dynamic ecosystem, Kubernetes has established itself as the de facto standard in container orchestration. Thanks to a wide range of managed services, it has never been so easy to set up a ready-to-use Kubernetes cluster.
However, this ease of use means that the subject of security in Kubernetes is often left for later, or even neglected. This exposes companies to significant risks.
In this talk, I'll show you step-by-step how to secure your Kubernetes cluster for greater peace of mind and reliability.

zkStudyClub - Reef: Fast Succinct Non-Interactive Zero-Knowledge Regex ProofsAlex Pruden
This paper presents Reef, a system for generating publicly verifiable succinct non-interactive zero-knowledge proofs that a committed document matches or does not match a regular expression. We describe applications such as proving the strength of passwords, the provenance of email despite redactions, the validity of oblivious DNS queries, and the existence of mutations in DNA. Reef supports the Perl Compatible Regular Expression syntax, including wildcards, alternation, ranges, capture groups, Kleene star, negations, and lookarounds. Reef introduces a new type of automata, Skipping Alternating Finite Automata (SAFA), that skips irrelevant parts of a document when producing proofs without undermining soundness, and instantiates SAFA with a lookup argument. Our experimental evaluation confirms that Reef can generate proofs for documents with 32M characters; the proofs are small and cheap to verify (under a second).
