Facebook Publishing Best Practices
Compiled by me for iris Worldwide.
Facebook offers general “best practices” for brands regarding publishing content on pages. However, there is still quite a bit of gray area on how these guidelines should be applied from practical standpoint.
That’s where this deck comes in. Based on both iris’ learnings and statistics from third-party sources, what follows is a POV on what “best practices” translates to on a daily content creation and publishing basis.
However, please note that these learnings represent platform best practices as of right now. Facebook changes frequently, and best practices will evolve frequently as well. Enjoy!
Fraud Report 2009 Presentation
Kroll's third Annual Global Fraud Survey surveyed over 700 people and found that the incidence of fraud remained at 85% of respondents. On average, companies lost $8.8 million to fraud, up slightly from $8.2 million last year. Larger companies with over $5 billion in annual sales reported greater losses of $25.8 million, while smaller companies under $5 billion reported lower losses of $4.6 million. Different sectors experienced different levels of fraud in the past year.
Beer, Beats & Branded Content
iris' latest social update, covering the latest platform updates and what they mean for brands. Plus, 27% of Americans are Millennials, so we took a look at a group of brands taking advantage of seasonal relevance to unlock the magic formula for reaching them. See how beverage brands are pursuing exclusive music content strategies and what the rest of us can learn.

Technology Tools for Distance Education
Online teachers have several technology tools available for distance education, including learning management systems, communication tools, and tools for creating instructional materials. Learning management systems are software applications that deliver course content, track progress, and facilitate communication. They allow asynchronous access to course materials anywhere with an internet connection. Communication tools include asynchronous options like email and discussion boards, as well as synchronous options like instant messaging, web conferencing, and virtual worlds. Teachers also have many options for creating and sharing visual and interactive instructional materials, such as presentation software, multimedia tools, and web authoring software.

Assistive technology
Assistive technology refers to any item, equipment, or system that is used to increase, maintain, or improve the functional capabilities of students with disabilities. Assistive technology includes devices and services that are provided through a student's IEP or 504 plan to support them in educational settings. The Individuals with Disabilities Education Act requires that assistive technology needs be considered at every IEP meeting to help students meet their IEP goals. A variety of low-tech and high-tech assistive tools exist to support students' needs in areas like reading, writing, communication, and more.
What wcci meant to me
WCCI has provided the author with important intellectual and emotional lessons. It has shown that global peace through education is possible by overcoming ignorance and prejudice, and that no country can prosper while suppressing the rights of half its population. The conference emphasized respecting human rights out of love for humanity, and highlighted the role of educators in building social networks and a more interconnected world. The author found participating with others to be a fun and highly rewarding experience that fostered a sense of accomplishment beyond what is measurable.

Artificial Intelligence for XMLDevelopment
In the rapidly evolving landscape of technologies, XML continues to play a vital role in structuring, storing, and transporting data across diverse systems. The recent advancements in artificial intelligence (AI) present new methodologies for enhancing XML development workflows, introducing efficiency, automation, and intelligent capabilities. This presentation will outline the scope and perspective of utilizing AI in XML development. The potential benefits and the possible pitfalls will be highlighted, providing a balanced view of the subject.
We will explore the capabilities of AI in understanding XML markup languages and autonomously creating structured XML content. Additionally, we will examine the capacity of AI to enrich plain text with appropriate XML markup. Practical examples and methodological guidelines will be provided to elucidate how AI can be effectively prompted to interpret and generate accurate XML markup.
Further emphasis will be placed on the role of AI in developing XSLT, or schemas such as XSD and Schematron. We will address the techniques and strategies adopted to create prompts for generating code, explaining code, or refactoring the code, and the results achieved.
The discussion will extend to how AI can be used to transform XML content. In particular, the focus will be on the use of AI XPath extension functions in XSLT, Schematron, Schematron Quick Fixes, or for XML content refactoring.
The presentation aims to deliver a comprehensive overview of AI usage in XML development, providing attendees with the necessary knowledge to make informed decisions. Whether you’re at the early stages of adopting AI or considering integrating it in advanced XML development, this presentation will cover all levels of expertise.
By highlighting the potential advantages and challenges of integrating AI with XML development tools and languages, the presentation seeks to inspire thoughtful conversation around the future of XML development. We’ll not only delve into the technical aspects of AI-powered XML development but also discuss practical implications and possible future directions.

The launch of Nitrux Linux 3.5.0 marks a significant milestone, offering a robust alternative to traditional systems such as Windows 11. This article delves into the essence of Nitrux Linux 3.5.0, exploring its unique features, advantages, and how it stands as a compelling choice for both casual users and tech enthusiasts.
Removing Uninteresting Bytes in Software Fuzzing
Imagine a world where software fuzzing, the process of mutating bytes in test seeds to uncover hidden and erroneous program behaviors, becomes faster and more effective. A lot depends on the initial seeds, which can significantly dictate the trajectory of a fuzzing campaign, particularly in terms of how long it takes to uncover interesting behaviour in your code. We introduce DIAR, a technique designed to speedup fuzzing campaigns by pinpointing and eliminating those uninteresting bytes in the seeds. Picture this: instead of wasting valuable resources on meaningless mutations in large, bloated seeds, DIAR removes the unnecessary bytes, streamlining the entire process.
In this work, we equipped AFL, a popular fuzzer, with DIAR and examined two critical Linux libraries -- Libxml's xmllint, a tool for parsing xml documents, and Binutil's readelf, an essential debugging and security analysis command-line tool used to display detailed information about ELF (Executable and Linkable Format). Our preliminary results show that AFL+DIAR does not only discover new paths more quickly but also achieves higher coverage overall. This work thus showcases how starting with lean and optimized seeds can lead to faster, more comprehensive fuzzing campaigns -- and DIAR helps you find such seeds.

Climate Impact of Software Testing at Nordic Testing Days

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.
