The document outlines a back-to-school marketing campaign for MyEdu to promote its textbook buying tools and resources to college students. Research found that students prioritize price and convenience when buying books and rely on peers for influences. The proposed campaign would increase awareness of MyEdu through on-campus events, advertisements, and partnerships with student groups.
ANOTHER BRICK OFF THE WALL: DECONSTRUCTING WEB APPLICATION FIREWALLS USING AU...Ioannis Stais
Web Applications Firewalls (WAFs) are fundamental building blocks of modern application security. For example, the PCI standard for organizations handling credit card transactions dictates that any application facing the internet should be either protected by a WAF or successfully pass a code review process. Nevertheless, despite their popularity and importance, auditing web application firewalls remains a challenging and complex task. Finding attacks that bypass the firewall usually requires expert domain knowledge for a specific vulnerability class. Thus, penetration testers not armed with this knowledge are left with publicly available lists of attack strings, like the XSS Cheat Sheet, which are usually insufficient for thoroughly evaluating the security of a WAF product.
In this presentation we introduce a novel, efficient, approach for bypassing WAFs using automata learning algorithms. We show that automata learning algorithms can be used to obtain useful models of WAFs. Given such a model, we show how to construct, either manually or automatically, a grammar describing the set of possible attacks which are then tested against the obtained model for the firewall. Moreover, if our system fails to find an attack, a regular expression model of the firewall is generated for further analysis. Using this technique we found over 10 previously unknown vulnerabilities in popular WAFs such as Mod-Security, PHPIDS and Expose allowing us to mount SQL Injection and XSS attacks bypassing the firewalls. Finally, we present LightBulb, an open source python framework for auditing web applications firewalls using the techniques described above. In the release we include the set of grammars used to find the vulnerabilities presented.

The document outlines a client referral process for businesses. It discusses the importance of referrals, providing statistics showing that people trust peer recommendations more than other forms of marketing. It then lists 8 steps to an effective referral process: 1) Ask for referrals from satisfied clients, 2) Have a clear pitch, 3) Recognize client needs, 4) Be referred by name, 5) Be easily found online, 6) Connect with referrals, 7) Convert referrals to clients, 8) Delight existing clients so they provide referrals. The document emphasizes building an online profile, particularly on LinkedIn, to attract referrals through digital content and connections.
This document summarizes a research paper that proposes a novel unsupervised approach to identify evaluative sentences in online discussions. The approach extracts aspects and expands evaluation and emotion lexicons in an unsupervised manner. It then models the interactions between aspects, evaluation words, and emotion words to classify a sentence as either evaluative or non-evaluative. The classification is done in two steps - first by calculating an evaluative score for aspects, and then comparing the sums of matched evaluation and emotion words. The approach is empirically evaluated and its parameters are analyzed.

Tablas de repaso de las declinaciones griegasRafael Ayuso
Este documento presenta las declinaciones de sustantivos y adjetivos en griego antiguo. Describe las terminaciones y casos de sustantivos de la 1a, 2a y 3a declinación, tanto masculinos como femeninos y neutros.

The document summarizes Pakistan's trade policy and strategic trade policy framework from 2009-2012. The key points are:
1) The trade policy aims to achieve sustainable high economic growth through exports by setting clear trade standards and reducing barriers.
2) The strategic trade policy framework provides guidelines and identifies priority actions like export competitiveness programs and trade support interventions.
3) Some specific measures to support exports include subsidizing transport costs and certification, import duty reductions, and export restrictions easing for certain industries.
4) The objectives are to enhance export competitiveness, reduce business costs, protect SMEs, and promote market access through regional trade agreements.
