Introducing Intelligence Into Your Malware AnalysisBrian Baskin
With malware becoming more prevalent, and the pool of capable reversers falling short of overall need, there is a greater need to provide quick and efficient malware analysis for network defense. While many analysts have a grasp on how to appropriately reverse malware, there is large room for improvement by extracting critical indicators, correlating on key details, and cataloging artifacts in a way to improve your corporate response for the next attack. This talk will cover beyond the basics of malware analysis and focus on critical indicators that should analysts should focus on for attribution and better reporting.
Bitcoin is touted for its many improvements to traditional currency. It is easy to transfer, requires no central authority to administer, works across political boundaries, and is easy to use.
But beyond the practical niceties and technical implementation details is the true intention of its inventor, Satoshi Nakamoto, who has now vanished and is unable to tell his story. Bitcoin is trying to solve a much larger problem: the economic instabilities of paper currency that fundamentally affect us, change the nature of business in our economy, make it hard for us to put valuations on things, and lead to a cyclical, chaotic economy of prosperity and recession that is both wasteful and ravaging to the progress of humanity and the stability of our lives.
In this talk, I will demystify currency and delve into the fundamentals of economic exchange. I will discuss how currencies work, what gives them their value, why most of them are fundamentally flawed, and how these flaws manifest themselves in our world. I will discuss how Bitcoin intends to solve these problems, the rearchitecture of our economic lives that would happen if we used it for everything, and where things might go wrong.
This talk was done at CyborgCamp 2012. There is a video of the talk available here: http://www.ustream.tv/recorded/26694951

UK media consumption has continued to rise in the last two weeks, with huge gains across live TV, video, social media, and video streaming, according to the latest Havas Media Group COVID-19 Media Behaviours Report.

For consumers in France, inflation eclipses other sources of concern. It triggers changes in shopping behaviors as consumers seek better value for money.
French consumers’ optimism regarding the economic recovery is stable at around 14 percent—a level last seen in the depths of COVID-19 lockdowns. Top sources of concern are rising prices (cited by 54 percent), followed by the invasion of Ukraine (13 percent) and climate change (10 percent) and far ahead of COVID-19 (4 percent). Nine out of ten survey respondents perceive high price inflation in the country. These trends have implications for brand and retailer loyalty: of the 73 percent of respondents saying they have tried new shopping behaviors in the last three months, 40 percent say they purchased private labels. Household products remain the category most affected by this trading-down trend.

A new global Ipsos MORI study, carried out in 27 countries for the BBC, highlights the extent to which people think their society is divided. The poll, carried out online among adults aged under 65 in January and February this year, investigates public attitudes towards division and societal tensions around the world. The study finds that three in four people on average across the 27 countries (76%) think society in their country is divided. Countries that are most concerned about division are Serbia, where most people (93%) say their society is divided, Argentina (92%), Peru and Chile (both 90%). Those in Saudi Arabia are least likely to say their country is divided (34%) followed by China (48%) and Japan (52%).

Enterprise Excellence is Inclusive Excellence.pdfKaiNexus
Enterprise excellence and inclusive excellence are closely linked, and real-world challenges have shown that both are essential to the success of any organization. To achieve enterprise excellence, organizations must focus on improving their operations and processes while creating an inclusive environment that engages everyone. In this interactive session, the facilitator will highlight commonly established business practices and how they limit our ability to engage everyone every day. More importantly, though, participants will likely gain increased awareness of what we can do differently to maximize enterprise excellence through deliberate inclusion.
What is Enterprise Excellence?
Enterprise Excellence is a holistic approach that's aimed at achieving world-class performance across all aspects of the organization.
What might I learn?
A way to engage all in creating Inclusive Excellence. Lessons from the US military and their parallels to the story of Harry Potter. How belt systems and CI teams can destroy inclusive practices. How leadership language invites people to the party. There are three things leaders can do to engage everyone every day: maximizing psychological safety to create environments where folks learn, contribute, and challenge the status quo.
Who might benefit? Anyone and everyone leading folks from the shop floor to top floor.

Memorandum Of Association Constitution of Company.pptseri bangash
www.seribangash.com
A Memorandum of Association (MOA) is a legal document that outlines the fundamental principles and objectives upon which a company operates. It serves as the company's charter or constitution and defines the scope of its activities. Here's a detailed note on the MOA:
Contents of Memorandum of Association:
Name Clause: This clause states the name of the company, which should end with words like "Limited" or "Ltd." for a public limited company and "Private Limited" or "Pvt. Ltd." for a private limited company.
https://seribangash.com/article-of-association-is-legal-doc-of-company/
Registered Office Clause: It specifies the location where the company's registered office is situated. This office is where all official communications and notices are sent.
Objective Clause: This clause delineates the main objectives for which the company is formed. It's important to define these objectives clearly, as the company cannot undertake activities beyond those mentioned in this clause.
www.seribangash.com
Liability Clause: It outlines the extent of liability of the company's members. In the case of companies limited by shares, the liability of members is limited to the amount unpaid on their shares. For companies limited by guarantee, members' liability is limited to the amount they undertake to contribute if the company is wound up.
https://seribangash.com/promotors-is-person-conceived-formation-company/
Capital Clause: This clause specifies the authorized capital of the company, i.e., the maximum amount of share capital the company is authorized to issue. It also mentions the division of this capital into shares and their respective nominal value.
Association Clause: It simply states that the subscribers wish to form a company and agree to become members of it, in accordance with the terms of the MOA.
Importance of Memorandum of Association:
Legal Requirement: The MOA is a legal requirement for the formation of a company. It must be filed with the Registrar of Companies during the incorporation process.
Constitutional Document: It serves as the company's constitutional document, defining its scope, powers, and limitations.
Protection of Members: It protects the interests of the company's members by clearly defining the objectives and limiting their liability.
External Communication: It provides clarity to external parties, such as investors, creditors, and regulatory authorities, regarding the company's objectives and powers.
https://seribangash.com/difference-public-and-private-company-law/
Binding Authority: The company and its members are bound by the provisions of the MOA. Any action taken beyond its scope may be considered ultra vires (beyond the powers) of the company and therefore void.
Amendment of MOA:
While the MOA lays down the company's fundamental principles, it is not entirely immutable. It can be amended, but only under specific circumstances and in compliance with legal procedures. Amendments typically require shareholder
