HRCA's Proposed Concept Plan for Northridge RenovationHRCA
The proposed concept plan outlines improvements to the Northridge Recreation Center facilities based on user feedback and a space planning study. Key goals identified through surveys and focus groups included improving the entrance, lobby areas, and gym floor as well as refurbishing racquetball courts.

The document discusses plans for a "Culture Channel" project to create an online platform for sharing cultural content across the North East region of England. It would involve an alliance of 10 major cultural organizations pooling their audiovisual resources. The goals are to better promote and distribute this content, engage wider audiences, and eventually generate revenue through advertising, sponsorship, and e-commerce opportunities on the platform. Several challenges are noted around rights issues, platform delivery, and balancing commercial aims with independent ownership of each organization's content. The proposal is made for expanding this locally into a true national "Culture Network" to give cultural organizations across the UK an easy-to-use shared platform to showcase and market their work online.
Taskit is a business that helps connect people who need tasks completed with "seekers" who can perform those tasks. Seekers find clients and complete everyday tasks for them like posting online, writing articles, errands, shopping, and other jobs. Once a task is complete, the client pays the seeker through the Taskit system. A portion of the payment goes to the nonprofit or person in need that the seeker chooses. Taskit provides business credit cards for seekers to purchase items for clients and links to affiliate websites to help seekers find work. The goal is to help others through small tasks while also benefiting charities.
The Le Manoir collection from Acajou sets new standards in luxury bathroom furniture design inspired by over 300 years of classic French style and elegance. The collection uses only the finest materials, including Italian and Spanish marble, solid mahogany wood furniture hand-carved with detailed ornamentation. Each piece is a work of art crafted by skilled artisans and can be customized with bespoke finishes, making every bathroom furniture item unique.

The Redistricting Committee recommends against initiating the redistricting process due to substantial costs and challenges. Redistricting would require amending the Community Declaration, which involves legal and procedural hurdles including obtaining approval from 67% of lot owners, sub-associations, first mortgagees, and potentially bond holders. Failure to gain these approvals could allow pursuing judicial approval but with unknown legal costs and outcome. The report details 10 steps in the redistricting process and identifies legal questions that would need to be addressed.
This document provides an overview and agenda for an Arts Council briefing on the landscape for arts funding in 2015 and beyond.

This document makes the holistic case for supporting arts and culture by providing examples of how it benefits culture, education, society, and the economy. It highlights arts organizations that preserve cultural heritage and provide access to the arts, as well as education programs that teach music, dance, and creative skills. Examples also show how the arts can help former prisoners develop skills and support well-being in healthcare settings. The document argues that arts and culture are not just for the elite but fuel the broader economy, and that cities' innovative potential lies in the creative union of technology, arts and civic life. It invites the reader to consider how these concepts interconnect and which policies should result.

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).

Climate Impact of Software Testing at Nordic Testing DaysKari Kakkonen
My slides at Nordic Testing Days 6.6.2024
Climate impact / sustainability of software testing discussed on the talk. ICT and testing must carry their part of global responsibility to help with the climat warming. We can minimize the carbon footprint but we can also have a carbon handprint, a positive impact on the climate. Quality characteristics can be added with sustainability, and then measured continuously. Test environments can be used less, and in smaller scale and on demand. Test techniques can be used in optimizing or minimizing number of tests. Test automation can be used to speed up testing.
