1) World soybean production is projected to be around 267 million metric tons for the 2012/13 marketing year, driven by high production in South America while U.S. production is uncertain due to drought conditions.
2) Global soybean consumption is also projected to continue growing, reaching over 263 million metric tons in 2012/13, with increasing demand from China and other regions helping absorb supplies.
3) With production uncertainties and strong global demand, soybean prices have remained high, with fall delivery prices over $16 per bushel and futures contracts in 2012/13 also well above projections. Tight world supplies relative to consumption are expected to support firm prices.

JMeter webinar - integration with InfluxDB and GrafanaRTTS
Watch this recorded webinar about real-time monitoring of application performance. See how to integrate Apache JMeter, the open-source leader in performance testing, with InfluxDB, the open-source time-series database, and Grafana, the open-source analytics and visualization application.
In this webinar, we will review the benefits of leveraging InfluxDB and Grafana when executing load tests and demonstrate how these tools are used to visualize performance metrics.
Length: 30 minutes
Session Overview
-------------------------------------------
During this webinar, we will cover the following topics while demonstrating the integrations of JMeter, InfluxDB and Grafana:
- What out-of-the-box solutions are available for real-time monitoring JMeter tests?
- What are the benefits of integrating InfluxDB and Grafana into the load testing stack?
- Which features are provided by Grafana?
- Demonstration of InfluxDB and Grafana using a practice web application

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.

"Impact of front-end architecture on development cost", Viktor TurskyiFwdays
I have heard many times that architecture is not important for the front-end. Also, many times I have seen how developers implement features on the front-end just following the standard rules for a framework and think that this is enough to successfully launch the project, and then the project fails. How to prevent this and what approach to choose? I have launched dozens of complex projects and during the talk we will analyze which approaches have worked for me and which have not.

15. For RP holders, Consider Hedging
Production
• Nov 2012 contract on 7/25/2012 was at
$16.00 per bushel
• Many hold RP policies at 75% and higher
coverage levels
– Uses higher of projected or harvest price
– When harvest price is above projected prices,
RP makes payments on yield below yield
guarantee (TA-APH yield times coverage level)

16. RP and Hedging
• TA-APH yield = 45 bushels
• Coverage level = 80%
• Make payments when yield below 36
bushels (45 bushels x .8)
• Shortfall at harvest price, when
harvest price is above projected price
($12.55) 16
17. • Current prices are not good price
• Can hedge up to production guarantee

18. Pre-harvest Hedging
• Good strategy to spread sales, including
pre-harvest
• Hedging losses are occurring on spring

• Be consistent
