From day one, NFCR has stood apart from larger cancer charities and government science funding institutions because we support the cutting edge research that those other groups can't and won't fund. NFCR is dedicated to supporting "high risk/high reward" cancer research and public education relating to prevention, early diagnosis, better treatments and, ultimately, a cure for cancer.
With the help of 4.5 million individual donors over the last 40 years, NFCR has delivered more than $320 million in funding to cancer research leading to numerous breakthroughs, including prevention strategies, earlier diagnostic techniques, and new anticancer drugs and therapies.

Hot Tech Trends and Applications session at Graph Expo. Tim Hendrix, State of Oregon shares experience, tips and insights about software technology for in-plant print centers to ensure that they are selecting, implementing and best maintaining technology and avoiding common pitfalls. Learn about types of technology, considerations, determining the “right fit”, Web to print, Print MIS, Production Control software, Variable Data, Metrics and Customer Satisfaction software, and delivery and shuttle technology. See session videos at: http://www.rocsoft.com/presentations/in-plant-printing-software-technology-and-applications/
In-Plant Panel: Champions Engage for the Future at Graph Expo. Panelists discuss how they stay relevant in their higher education, financial services, government and non-profit print centers. Panelists: Mike Lincoln, State of Colorado (4th largest government in-plant); John Sarantakos, University of Oklahoma (largest higher ed in-plant); Andrew Yee, Dynamic Funds (part of the third largest bank in Canada)\, and financial services in-plant); and Karen Meyers, Michigan Farm Bureau, a non-profit print center.

Panelists Tim Smith, State of Wisconsin Publishing & Distribution; Staci Hill, Freese & Nichols; Ron Balderson, Navy Federal Credit Union discuss why their operations are successful in continually changing and adapting. Moderated by Elisha Kasinskas, RSA.
This IPMA 2014 Conference presentation is about a FVTC Printing Services Lean project. The project focused on identifying and reducing waste in three areas: Delivery, Bindery and Printing, all from the customer's perspective. After exceeding their project goals in Delivery, they used the Lean process in the Bindery area and then the Printing Services Online (PSO) process. In the PSO portion of the project, a customer survey led the department to offer two new workflows to make it easier for customers to use the online ordering process (WebCRD). Key points: Educate staff/the department, use Value Stream Mapping to understand current state, collect data, document the process, and celebrate success.
Presentation from IPMA Conference 2014. Learn how the simple addition of web to print has advanced the print shop's footprint within the firm and saved money and time, along with interesting industry web to print facts. See if web to print is for you and learn how Freese & Nichols further leverages the software as a tracking mechanism for asset management.
At Yale University, Quality is such a high priority that it is ingrained in the workflow. It's been and continues to be an evolving process to create and take steps in every part of the process to ensure complete print job quality. All print production employees are responsible for quality, and all print jobs must pass a quality inspection before leaving the print center. Learn the four keys to a successful quality program, the tools Yale uses, how they report and measure their success and plans they have for the future. This presentation is from the IPMA 2014 conference.
This presentation from the 2014 IPMA conference is intended to provide a framework for a print center manager to use when adding, upgrading or replacing software for the in-plant print center. Learn the questions to ask yourself, your IT department and your vendors, and ensure smooth implementations by choosing the best solution with minimal risk for your organization. Engage IT early for the best results.

Elevating Tactical DDD Patterns Through Object CalisthenicsDorra BARTAGUIZ
After immersing yourself in the blue book and its red counterpart, attending DDD-focused conferences, and applying tactical patterns, you're left with a crucial question: How do I ensure my design is effective? Tactical patterns within Domain-Driven Design (DDD) serve as guiding principles for creating clear and manageable domain models. However, achieving success with these patterns requires additional guidance. Interestingly, we've observed that a set of constraints initially designed for training purposes remarkably aligns with effective pattern implementation, offering a more ‘mechanical’ approach. Let's explore together how Object Calisthenics can elevate the design of your tactical DDD patterns, offering concrete help for those venturing into DDD for the first time!
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.

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.

A tale of scale & speed: How the US Navy is enabling software delivery from l...sonjaschweigert1
Rapid and secure feature delivery is a goal across every application team and every branch of the DoD. The Navy’s DevSecOps platform, Party Barge, has achieved:
- Reduction in onboarding time from 5 weeks to 1 day
- Improved developer experience and productivity through actionable findings and reduction of false positives
- Maintenance of superior security standards and inherent policy enforcement with Authorization to Operate (ATO)
Development teams can ship efficiently and ensure applications are cyber ready for Navy Authorizing Officials (AOs). In this webinar, Sigma Defense and Anchore will give attendees a look behind the scenes and demo secure pipeline automation and security artifacts that speed up application ATO and time to production.
We will cover:
- How to remove silos in DevSecOps
- How to build efficient development pipeline roles and component templates
- How to deliver security artifacts that matter for ATO’s (SBOMs, vulnerability reports, and policy evidence)
- How to streamline operations with automated policy checks on container images
