The document outlines the requirements and tasks for a Social Studies School Based Assessment (SBA) project in the Caribbean. Students must:
1) Conduct guided research on a topic related to social or economic issues in their community. They must state the problem as a research question, rationale, and additional research questions.
2) Design a data collection instrument, describe procedures, and present and analyze findings through graphs, tables or other visuals.
3) Provide conclusions and recommendations based on three findings. The final SBA report must be 1000-1200 words and include all outlined tasks. Drafts are due in November and February, with strict deadlines to allow teacher feedback.

Glossary of Important Terms - The Family.docxDeighton Gooden
Terms and definitions relation relating to the family. These words were taken from a combination of textbooks used by Caribbean students in preparation for their CXC CSEC regional exams.
A reproduced article from The Jamaica Observer's Study Centre Lecture Series (September 27, 2016). The article was written by Mrs Charmains Fuller-Wallace, teacher at St. Andrew Technical High School in Kinston Jamaica. I re-typed the article for the benefit of students who choose this topic (Tourism) in the CXC CSEC examination. This article should only be used for educational purposes only.
The impact of the Europeans on the Tainos in JamaicaDeighton Gooden
This handout highlights ten ways that the Tainos' were brutalized by the Spaniards shortly after their arrival to Jamaica. The informtion is applicable to the other islands for their treatments meted out to the natives were throughout the Caribbean region was uniform.
History/Social Studies multiple-choice questions and map work on the early inhabitants of the Caribbean. The focus is on the Mongoloids and the Tainos.
Concept map. The definitions of various types of groups are given, and students are required to write in the most appropriate answer that fits each definition. The intention is to have students become familiar with the types of groups and how to differentiate each.
This concept map provides the definition of certain terms relating to the family, specifically marriage terms. Students are to research the definitions to find the correct terms that match the definition.

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!
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.
Connector Corner: Automate dynamic content and events by pushing a buttonDianaGray10
Here is something new! In our next Connector Corner webinar, we will demonstrate how you can use a single workflow to:
Create a campaign using Mailchimp with merge tags/fields
Send an interactive Slack channel message (using buttons)
Have the message received by managers and peers along with a test email for review
But there’s more:
In a second workflow supporting the same use case, you’ll see:
Your campaign sent to target colleagues for approval
If the “Approve” button is clicked, a Jira/Zendesk ticket is created for the marketing design team
But—if the “Reject” button is pushed, colleagues will be alerted via Slack message
Join us to learn more about this new, human-in-the-loop capability, brought to you by Integration Service connectors.

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.
