II. The slave trade intensified slavery and influenced politics in West and Central African societies like the Asante and Dahomey empires, with states close to the coast having more power.
III. Bantu-speaking peoples migrated to Southern Africa by 1500, where they encountered Dutch settlers at the Cape and later British rule, while the Zulu rose to power under Shaka in the early 1800s.
The Muslim Empires
The document summarizes the rise and fall of three major Muslim empires between the 13th-18th centuries:
1) The Ottomans expanded from Anatolia into the Balkans and Middle East, taking Constantinople in 1453. However, military defeats and a shift in trade routes led to decline after the 1600s.
2) The Safavids made Iran Shiite and challenged the Ottomans, reaching their height under Abbas I in the late 1500s. But internal conflicts and foreign threats weakened them thereafter.
3) The Mughals conquered northern India in the 1500s under Babur and Akbar, building a powerful empire and tolerant culture. However, Aurangzeb
The Neolithic Revolution
This document provides an overview of human civilization from the Paleolithic era to the earliest towns. It discusses how hunter-gatherer societies first emerged and spread across the world before settling down into agricultural communities during the Neolithic Revolution between 8000-3500 BCE. This allowed for population growth and the rise of specialized occupations. Some of the earliest urban settlements then appeared, like Jericho by 7000 BCE, which cultivated crops and engaged in trade and rule by elites. This marked the beginning of civilization and more complex societies.

Notes: Module 2, Lesson 2
The document summarizes the key factors that influenced the rise of civilization in ancient Mesopotamia. The fertile land between the Tigris and Euphrates rivers provided abundant resources for agriculture, but required organization to control irrigation. This need drove the development of large cities like Sumer, where specialized jobs, social hierarchy, writing, and government emerged. Sumerian culture, including its writing system of cuneiform, spread widely and had a lasting influence even as empires like Sargon's and Hammurabi's rose to power in Mesopotamia.
Egyptian civilization
The Egyptian civilization developed along the Nile River valley over 6,000 years. Key periods included the Early Dynastic Period, Old Kingdom, Middle Kingdom, New Kingdom, and Late Period. Egyptian society was governed by pharaohs and centered around agriculture along the Nile. They made advances in tools, timekeeping, and developed hieroglyphic writing to preserve their history, religion, and ideas. Egyptian art and architecture included temples, tombs, and pyramids. Their golden ages occurred during the Old and Middle Kingdoms.

Draw a conclusion about how Egyptian culture and family life in the period of 3000 BC to 1000
BC compared to other civilizations emerging in the Middle East. In your response, include the
challenges Egyptian society faced.
Solution
Egyptian culture and family life in the period of 3000 BC to 1000 BC compared to other
civilizations emerging in the Middle East:
1. Because of different geography, different degrees of exposure to outside invasion Egypt
emphasized strong central authority, while other civilizations shifted more frequently over a
substructure of regional
city-states. Mesopotamian art focused on less monumental structures, while
embracing a pronounced literary element that Egyptian art lacked.
2. Social differences is difficult to obtain
information on daily life for early civilizations. It is probable, though,
that the status of women was greater in Egypt than in other civilizations. Egyptians paid great
respect to women at least in the upper classes, in part because marriage
alliances were vital to the preservation and stability of the monarchy. Also,
Egyptian religion included more pronounced deference to goddesses as sources of creativity.
3. Comparisons in politics, culture, economics, and society suggest , Egypt
being more stable and cheerful than Mesopotamia not only in beliefs about gods;and the afterlife
but in the colorful and lively pictures the Egyptians
emphasized in their decorative art. Also striking was the distinction in
internal history, with Egyptian civilization far less marked by disruption
than its Mesopotamian counterpart..

Social classes and kingship developed, with temples becoming important religious and administrative centers marked by ziggurats.
Greekexperiencemckaych5 140919141647-phpapp01
Greece's mountainous geography led to the development of independent city-states. Two major city-states were Athens, which established democracy, and Sparta, which had a militaristic society ruled by elite nobles. During the Classical period from 500-338 BCE, Athens and other city-states developed philosophy, drama, and architecture that have endured. Alexander the Great then conquered much of the known world and spread Greek culture, leading to a multicultural Hellenistic society across a vast trade network with advances in science, philosophy, and religion.
Chapter 1 Before HistoryPre-human hominids are universally de.docx
Chapter 1: Before History
Pre-human hominids are universally deemed as the ancestors of the human race. Their occurrence is dated to be four to five million years ago, while the human race itself emerged nearly too hundred thousand years ago. Over the years, it has been keenly noted that humans share specific DNA composition with other primates. It is only a slight difference in the genetic makeup and body chemistry that makes humans have more intelligence than these other species, making them more adaptable to their environment and therefore give them a greater ability to control the natural world. This intelligence has seen the humans have greater potential for advanced and sophisticated social-cultural abilities that other species cannot measure up to. These unique and advanced abilities possessed by humans include well devised tools, technologies cooperation and communication skills.
The Paleolithic society, which is commonly known as the Old Stone Age is the longest era in the history of the human race on the planet. It is majorly characterized with hunting and gathering. It existed long before ancient agriculture emerged, and therefore it lived on looking for edible stuff from the wild life, both edible fruits and animal, hence their hunting and gathering lifestyle. Theirs was a completely liberal life, as there was nobody’s possession ever. No wealth, no private property. One very outstanding characteristic of this early man is the ability to communicate. There was a well-structured and powerful language that enabled them to communicate very important messages. For this reason, it was possible to pass information and knowledge to the next generation. The new generations would thus improve the knowledge and as it accumulated over the years, humans were able to give a good take on the various aspect of life they live. One common link between generation and creativity is the early cave paintings. This ability to communicate abstractly is the major skill that humans have banked on in realizing their present control over the natural world.
The Neolithic or the New Stone Age era proceeded the Paleolithic. It marks the transition from the hunting and gathering lifestyle of the Old Stone Age into a more civilized agricultural society. Human in this era lived in distinct communities which domesticated animals and grew crops. This is cited to have been taking place at around 9000 B.C.E. They lived together and their population grew over time. Unlike in the Old Stone Age, there was the aspect of ownership of property, hence personal wealth. The ownership of land was the major one, and it dictated the owner’s economic and political power. There were hierarchies of authority in aspects such as religion and government, a clear indication of an organized and civilized society. Just like the Old Stone Age, the New Stone Age gave interest in fertility as an important feature of their religion.
Later, within a period of four thousand years, the agricul ...

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).

zkStudyClub - Reef: Fast Succinct Non-Interactive Zero-Knowledge Regex Proofs
This paper presents Reef, a system for generating publicly verifiable succinct non-interactive zero-knowledge proofs that a committed document matches or does not match a regular expression. We describe applications such as proving the strength of passwords, the provenance of email despite redactions, the validity of oblivious DNS queries, and the existence of mutations in DNA. Reef supports the Perl Compatible Regular Expression syntax, including wildcards, alternation, ranges, capture groups, Kleene star, negations, and lookarounds. Reef introduces a new type of automata, Skipping Alternating Finite Automata (SAFA), that skips irrelevant parts of a document when producing proofs without undermining soundness, and instantiates SAFA with a lookup argument. Our experimental evaluation confirms that Reef can generate proofs for documents with 32M characters; the proofs are small and cheap to verify (under a second).
