Considering that financing development from domestic resources can be more cost effective to a nation, there is urgent need to strengthen and mobilize the domestic resources of the Country. A more guaranteed source of domestic resources for financing development is through taxation.

Canada’s small- and medium-size enterprises
(SMEs) are collectively the largest employer in
Canada, employing about 55 per cent of
Canadians (based on Statistics Canada’s Survey
of Employment, Payrolls and Hours 2008).
When you take into account the fact that they
contribute 1.4 times the premiums their
employees do, this makes them the single
largest employer-stakeholder group in the EI
system today. SMEs employ Canadians in every
province and in every sector of the economy,
from the retail and service sectors to
manufacturing and primary industries. This
broad range of industries and employee
requirements make SME owners an excellent
judge of the efficacy of the EI system.
EI is becoming a more and more important
issue for SMEs. In fact, EI is one of the top
priorities for CFIB members across the nation.
This was highlighted in a survey conducted in
the first half of 2009, which found that 48 per
cent of CFIB members listed EI reform as a
priority for their business, behind only the
total tax burden and regulations and paper
burden, both of which are also directly related
to the EI system.
We are facing some very difficult budget choices and challenges for Massachusetts for Fiscal Year 2011 (July 2010 - July 2011). Governor Patrick and his administration are holding a series of hearings and forums around the state to get input and ideas from citizens where this presentation is included. To learn more about the hearings and forums, visit www.mass.gov/governor/forums
If you weren't able to make a hearing or forum or want to be prepared before you attend one, this presentation is about 9 minutes long and will give you a basic overview of the budget situation. Please review it, then visit our blog at www.mass.gov/blog/engage to comment and share your ideas.

The Finance Minister read out the longest ever budget speech. By the end of it she was too exhausted to even complete the speech. This pretty much explains the state of affairs.
Like a caged canary aspiring to fly in the blue sky, the finance minister very enthusiastically read out the vision for new modern India. However, after two hours of aspirational efforts, it was evidently clear that she does not have enough strength to break the shackles and release herself. In the end, she was settled in the cage, totally exhausted and her wings ruffled.
The positive take away from the budget statement is that the aspirations are really high and the vision of new modern India very clear. The government for the first time made an unambiguous admission that the way forward is a progressive socio-economic structure that is egalitarian but encourages and supports private enterprise. It is a major achievement to officially abandon the socialist legacy that focused on curbing demand rather than enhancing supply and hindered the seamless integration of Indian economy in the global economy.

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.
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).
Speakers:
Bob Boule
Robert Boule is a technology enthusiast with PASSION for technology and making things work along with a knack for helping others understand how things work. He comes with around 20 years of solution engineering experience in application security, software continuous delivery, and SaaS platforms. He is known for his dynamic presentations in CI/CD and application security integrated in software delivery lifecycle.
Gopinath Rebala
Gopinath Rebala is the CTO of OpsMx, where he has overall responsibility for the machine learning and data processing architectures for Secure Software Delivery. Gopi also has a strong connection with our customers, leading design and architecture for strategic implementations. Gopi is a frequent speaker and well-known leader in continuous delivery and integrating security into software delivery.
