A new breed of agripreneurs in nigeria by sotonye anga.Sotonye anga
Agripreneurs commercialize agricultural opportunities and ideas. As an Agripreneur you must have a firmness of purpose, be resolute and keep your eyes on the job and get it done. Start by making little changes to something that already exist, think outside the box and find new ways of doing old things.
Two weeks charette- needs different formal proposals, a bit more bataille/delicatessent/brazil and less ipod-esque articulation. It hasn\'t quite hit the visual echo of 50-60s dystopianism I wanted but the data and mechanisms are a lovely start to imagining a gothic, grotesque, and excessive economy to urban agriculture... an ode to the sur-rational \'jungles\' repressed by bourgeois sustainability...
Agenda 3 of Ekiti State Road Map to Recovery marks a significant step in our pursuit of re-positioning the state in the League of states in Nigeria, driving
prosperity through agri-business operations that could eradicate economic poverty and essentially drive achievement of the Millennium Development
Goals.

How agribusiness can impact positively on nigeria’s economy by sotonye anga Sotonye anga
It is time to build Nigeria’s multi-Trillion Naira Agribusiness economy and prosper our people…. Living on N100 a day, Nigeria spends 17 Billion Naira to feed its people, 510 Billion Naira every month and 6.2 Trillion Naira every year. By 2050 when our population hits the 340 Million mark we will be spending over 12 Trillion Naira to feed our people. We need to focus on growing what we need to feed ourselves and eat what we produce. We need to empower our farmers and Agribusinesses to take advantage of the huge domestic opportunity for agribusiness. This is how we can stimulate economic growth for Nigeria and prosperity for our farmers.
The role of agriculture in the Ukrainian economy is enormous. Agriculture lands constitute 41,5 million hectares 70% of the territory of Ukraine. Agricultural production in 2015 amounted to 317 billion UAH or 16% of GDP. In 2015, agricultural exports amounted to $14,6 billion. Ukraine is the top world producer of sunflower and sunflower oil and the second largest exporter of grains.
Situation Analysis of Youth in Agribusiness in UgandaDr. Joshua Zake
The study aimed at understanding the situation of Youth involvement in Agri-business in Uganda. The specific objectives for the study were:
(i) Provide an overview of existing youth definitions and categorization of youth into
different groups with clear distinctive features;
ii) Examine and describe the issues that the youth are
facing, specifically in relation to agri-business;
iii) Determine strategies at the national level through which youth are engaging and potential agricultural sub-sectors and the specific levels in the agricultural
value chain that the youth could be potentially engaged in;
v) Identify the different stakeholders (including youth individuals, organizations,
associations and companies) that are engaging youth in agribusiness across Uganda;
vi) Provide an overview of national policies with direct influence on youth participation in
Agribusiness;
vii) Establish and analyze existing and emerging opportunities and motivations for youth
both male and female participation in Agribusiness;
viii) Compare and contrast with international perspectives on youth in Agribusiness.
In light of the study results, we conclude that productive involvement of youth in agri-business in Uganda is a great opportunity and spring board for increased and sustainable productivity, wealth creation, employment and economic development considering an agricultural sector which is suffering from an aging generation of farmers. There are various opportunities which youth should
tap into as motivation for engaging in agri-business. Despite the existence of various
supportive policies, programs and initiatives at the local, national and international levels
which promote youth participation in agri-business, there are several challenges for youth
engagement in agri-business. These must be addressed going forward through active
involvement of key stakeholders each effectively implementing their roles to advance youth
participation in agri-business.

The characteristic features of Pig as a livestock are the highest feed conversion efficiency, utilization of wide variety of feed stuff viz. grains, forages, damaged feeds, vegetables, fruits and garbage etc., higher proficiency with shorter generation interval, i.e., first breeding as early as 8-9 months of age, farrowing twice in a year and 6-12 piglets in each farrowing. Initial requirements of small investment, quick returns and utilization of bristles and manure further increase the importance of this animal.

Protect your hybrid workforce across the attack chainDavid J Rosenthal
Security is one of the most important considerations for SMBs. In fact, 77% of SMBs in a recent survey consider security a top feature when purchasing new PCs.1
Last year alone, 67% of SMBs experienced a security breach that cost, on average, 3.3% of their revenue.1 That’s a big risk to both profitability and reputation, and it shows how critical strong security protections are for businesses.
The good news is that 69% of SMBs in a recent survey agreed that new Windows 10 Pro devices offered better security and data protection than older devices.1
Research shows that modern devices help business owners by preventing identity attacks, minimizing phishing, and reducing the risk of malware attacks. These are all common ways that bad actors steal business data, steal personal information, or hold our devices hostage in exchange for huge amounts of ransom money.
And with modern PCs, most security functions can happen in the cloud, without interrupting worker productivity.

The Java ecosystem is very broad, with different technologies including Java SE, Java EE/Jakarta EE, Spring, numerous application servers, and other frameworks. Wherever you are in Java, Azure supports your workload and process with an abundance of choice – from IaaS to fully managed services. You can run any application architecture, from monoliths, to containerized monoliths, all the way to completely microservices based apps.
We see three broad patterns for running Java applications in the cloud, depending on how much control or productivity you need.
The first is lift and shift with Virtual Machines:
Virtual machines provide the most flexibility, control and visibility while moving to the cloud, especially for initial lift and shift of Java workloads. Azure provides a variety of Java focused VM images and solutions templates in the Azure Marketplace to get you up and running quickly.
The second is modernization using containers:
Containers provide portability, flexibility, scalability, manageability, repeatability, and predictability.
Azure provides best of breed support for Docker and Kubernetes, especially through the Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS) and Azure Red Hat OpenShift.
Finally, Azure has the most managed hosting options for Java applications of any major cloud platform with fully managed PaaS for Spring, Tomcat, and JBoss EAP:
Managed services offer ease-of-use, ease-of-management, productivity, and lower total cost of ownership.
You can focus on building your applications, not managing infrastructure.
All of this is supported by managed databases and DevOps tooling:
Use fully managed SQL and NoSQL databases, including PostgreSQL, MySQL, Cosmos DB, and SQL.
Keep using the tools you love, with plugins for IntelliJ and Eclipse, integrations with a variety of DevOps tools like Maven, Gradle, Jenkins, and GitHub.
Get comprehensive protection across all your platforms and clouds
Protect your organization from threats across devices, identities, apps, data and clouds. Get unmatched visibility into your multiplatform environment that unifies Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) and Extended Detection and Response (XDR).

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.
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).
