The unemployed man is distraught after being told he cannot get a janitor job at Microsoft because he does not have an email address. He decides to buy and sell strawberries door-to-door, doubling his money each time. Within five years, through hard work and reinvesting his profits, he builds the business into one of the largest food chains in the United States. When getting life insurance later, he is reminded that without an email address five years ago, he would still be applying for jobs.

Max Havelaar France en partenariat avec la Plate-Forme pour le commerce équitable (PFCE) et l’entreprise Ethiquable, ont réalisé une étude sur les pratiques de préfinancement des campagnes de production agricoles dans les filières du commerce équitable.
Cette étude s’inscrit dans le cadre du plan d’action national en faveur du commerce équitable (2013 -2016) qui vise notamment à encourager la mise en place d’outils de financements (publics et/ou privés) pour faire face aux besoins de préfinancement des importateurs et des organisations de producteurs.
L’étude cherche ainsi à identifier et disséminer les bonnes pratiques et mécanismes innovants de préfinancement des campagnes de production agricoles dans le commerce équitable.
Le travail de recherche a été mené par le réseau CERISE et animé par un comité de pilotage formé de la PFCE, de Max Havelaar France, d’Ethiquable, du ministère français des Affaires Etrangères et du Développement international, de l’Agence Française de Développement, de la Région Île–de–France et du Crédit coopératif.
Il donné lieu à la réalisation de ces fiches techniques présentant l’offre de 11 organismes financiers et 2 outils financiers innovants, le financement participatif et l’épargne salariale. Il a également permis de formuler des recommandations pour valoriser, améliorer et diffuser ces bonnes pratiques.
Job Search Tip- Five ways to say I'm UnprofessionalMonster
In most job-filling situations, the employer has the luxury of choosing from several well-qualified applicants, all of whom could probably do the job. That's when the little things, like the common but often unrecognized mistakes described here, almost always come into play. Make sure you avoid them, so they don't cost you a shot at the job.
E mail- a machine or gadget is not an indispensable tool in lifeBabu Appat
We are in search for adding conveniences to our life. Machines or the gizmos we add to our life are meant to ease our work life. Where should we add a machine or tool to our life. We have to maximise our individual capabilities, utilise it fully; and therefrom we can use a tool or machine aptly selected; to improve the performance thereupon. The maximum of your mathematical ability is exploited and from thence a calculator is introduced. Both are optimally utilised too.
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.

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).

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.

2. An unemployed man applies for
the position of a janitor at
Microsoft.
3. He is interviewed by the HR Chief
and subjected to a battery
of employment tests.
4. The HR Chief tells him:
Congratulations, you got the job!
Just give me your e-mail address
so that I can send you an
employment package and let you
know when to start work.
5. The man is distraught…He has
no choice but to tell the HR
Chief that he has no computer
and therefore no e-mail.
6. The HR Chief tells him that, if
he has no e-mail address, he
virtually does not exist and
therefore cannot hold a job.
7. The man leaves in a
desperate mood.
He is down to his last $10 with
no job in sight. He sees a
supermarket and decides to buy
a 10 lb box of strawberries.
8. He starts out making door to door
calls , selling those strawberries
by the pound. Within 2 hours, he
manages to double his capital. He
repeats the deal 3 times more and
goes home with $60 in his pocket.
9. He comes to see that he can
survive this way. He starts every
day earlier and goes home later
every day, tripling or quadrupling
his money every day.
10. Before long, he buys a wheel
barrow so he can buy and sell more
strawberries. After a while, he is
able to buy a truck and eventually
becomes the owner of a fleet of
delivery trucks with several
employees working for him.
11. He adds other produce items
to his deliveries.
5 years go by…
12. The man is now the owner of
one of the largest food chains
in the United States.
13. He starts thinking about the future
for him and his family and decides to
buy some life insurance. He calls an
agent and selects a good policy.
The agent asks him for his
e-mail address to send him a
confirmation of the policy.
14. The man tells him that he doesn’t
have an e-mail address! That is
incredible, says the agent. You
have no e-mail but you built this
large empire! Can you imagine
where you would be if you had an
e-mail address?
15. The man briefly thinks and then
answers:
I WOULD BE A TOILET
CLEANER AT MICROSOFT!
16. Moral 1 of the story:
The internet does not solve all
the problems in our lives!
17. Moral 2 of the story:
When you have no e-mail
but work hard, you can
become a millionaire!
18. Moral 3 of the story:
You received this story by e-mail.
Therefore you are closer to
cleaning toilets than
to being a millionaire!
