This document summarizes the key findings from an analysis of application security data by Veracode. Some of the main findings include:
1) Most software applications were found to be insecure, with over 50% receiving high or critical risk ratings.
2) Third-party software applications and components make up a significant percentage of enterprise infrastructure and applications, but were found to have the lowest security quality.
3) Open source projects had faster remediation times and fewer vulnerabilities than commercial or outsourced software.
The document discusses these and other findings around languages used, differences between industries, and the need for multiple testing techniques to adequately assess application security.

SCULPTURE: ADDITIVE,SUBTRACTIVE AND KINETICChan Delfino
油
Sculpture is a three-dimensional art form created by shaping hard materials like stone, metal, glass, or wood. There are three main types of sculpture: subtractive, which involves removing material like in carving; additive, which is most common today and involves adding material; and kinetic, containing moving parts. Sculpture is created through four basic processes - carving, modeling, casting, and construction - and can also involve assemblage, relief, or kinetic elements.
This document discusses the importance of financial planning and healthcare. It notes that according to scripture, one must provide for their health and finances today for tomorrow. It then discusses various risks like sickness, disability, or loss of income that can negatively impact lifestyle. The document advocates adopting a "save first, spend later" approach to savings and daily savings and investments of $2 and $1.50 respectively to prepare for contingencies. It also promotes a plant-based diet of fruits and vegetables for health and avoiding sickness.
This document discusses heat stress and heat-related illnesses. It notes that over 30,000 people have died from heat-related illnesses since 1936, with an average of 384 deaths from heat stroke each year. It describes how the body generates and loses heat through various mechanisms, and conditions like temperature, humidity, and clothing that can affect the body's cooling system. Potential heat-related health problems are outlined like heat rash, heat cramps, heat exhaustion, and heat stroke. The document concludes with recommendations for preventing heat-related illnesses through acclimation, fluid intake, rest, diet, dress, and adjusting work schedules based on temperature and heat index guidelines.

offering a wide range of dental certified courses in different formats.
This document from the Operating Engineers National Hazmat Program discusses heat stress and provides information on heat-related illnesses like heat cramps, heat exhaustion, and heat stroke. It notes that heat stroke can be fatal and that hundreds die from heat-related illnesses in the United States each year. The document outlines risk factors for heat illness, signs and symptoms, and treatment recommendations. It also briefly discusses cold stress and hypothermia.
This document discusses several global threats including global warming, recession, annihilation, terrorism, and hypoxia. It links these threats to the issues of contraception, abortion, and the pollution of the environment with estrogen from menstrual blood and aborted fetal blood. Specifically, it claims that contraception and abortion lower estrogen levels which can lead to degenerative diseases and changes in brain function that promote behaviors like promiscuity, abuse, and terrorism. It argues that population decline due to these practices is causing economic crisis and that reversing contraception and abortion could help address issues like climate change by reducing greenhouse gas emissions and pollution.
This document discusses various medical terminology, patient care procedures, and observations related to caring for residents in long-term care facilities. It covers terminology for activities of daily living, body systems, elimination, bathing procedures, oral hygiene, nail and hair care, and important observations to report. The main points are providing routine care, proper documentation of observations, and ensuring safety and privacy during care activities.
This document outlines InCare DME's diabetic footcare program. It discusses Medicare coverage of therapeutic shoes and inserts, risks factors for diabetic foot complications, proper foot assessment and care, the fitting process for therapeutic shoes, and follow up with patients. Key points include that Medicare covers one pair of therapeutic shoes and 3 pairs of inserts per year to help prevent foot complications for diabetics, which can include ulcers, infection, and amputation. A proper fitting process assesses foot risks and ensures shoes and inserts are properly fitted to support high-risk feet.
1. The document provides guidance on basic first aid procedures including securing the scene, chain of survival, universal precautions, ABCs of first aid, controlling bleeding, treating shock, burns, fractures, head injuries, and spinal injuries.
2. Key steps outlined include checking for hazards, activating EMS, providing early CPR/first aid, controlling bleeding through direct pressure, treating for shock by keeping the victim lying down and warm, cooling burns with water, splinting suspected fractures, and maintaining spinal alignment for head/neck injuries.
3. Precautions are described to prevent disease transmission such as using gloves and masks, cleaning up properly, and disposing of contaminated materials correctly.
The document discusses post-mortem changes that occur after death. Immediate changes include cessation of brain and circulatory functions and respiration. Early changes are cooling of the body, lividity/hypostasis, and rigor mortis. Rigor mortis occurs when muscles lose contractility and become rigid due to chemical changes, typically setting in 3-6 hours after death in temperate climates. Late changes include decomposition of tissues over time. The post-mortem changes provide clues for determining the time of death.
Dead bodies must be managed carefully after disasters to identify victims, respect cultural practices, and prevent disease transmission. Proper equipment, coordination of recovery efforts, storage, identification methods, and burial or cremation according to standards are needed. While corpses do not generally pose epidemic risks, universal precautions and rapid burial or cremation help reassure communities. The priority is to honor the dead while protecting public health.
The document discusses physiotherapy for burn rehabilitation. It begins by defining burns and explaining their global impact, causing over 180,000 deaths annually. It then covers burn classification based on depth and extent, as well as the anatomy and functions of skin layers. Key goals of physiotherapy include wound healing, preventing complications through splinting and positioning, restoring range of motion and strength. The full rehabilitation process aims to maximize function and independence while minimizing scarring over time.
This document discusses principles of patient assessment in EMS, including taking vital signs and assessing other signs and symptoms. It defines signs and symptoms, and lists common vital signs including mental status, respirations, pulse, blood pressure, and temperature. Additional signs covered include pupil response and pulse oximetry. The document describes how to assess each vital sign and provides normal ranges. It also discusses taking baseline versus serial vital signs to monitor a patient's condition over time by examining trends.

Editor's Notes
#23: In the spring and summer of the ticks second year, primarily from May through August, the nymph becomes active and takes its second feeding from a mammal.油 If the tick received the bacteria from its first feeding in the larva stage, it can transmit the bacteria during this second feeding.油油
Nymph stage ticks often look like a speck of dirt or a freckle on a persons skin.
#24: Blacklegged ticks live in wooded, brushy areas that provide food and cover for white-footed mice, deer and other small or large mammals.
Exposure to ticks may be greatest in the woods (especially along trails) and the fringe area between the woods and border.
#25: The signs and symptoms of Lyme disease can vary among individuals.油
Three to 30 days after a bite from an infected deer tick, look for:
A distinctive rash (bulls-eye or erythema migrans)油油油油油油油油油油油油油油油油油油油油油
Fever
Chills
Headache
Muscle and joint pain
Fatigue
Swollen lymph nodes
A person may not have all of these symptoms. People often feel like they have the flu.
#26: In 2002, nearly 24,000 cases of Lyme disease were reported to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.油 While dated, it continues to represent current distribution of cases on a national level.
This map shows reported cases by state of residence that is, where people live who have this disease.油 The map does not necessarily demonstrate where people were exposed to blacklegged ticks, since some people are exposed to ticks when they travel.
Lyme disease occurs primarily in three regions of the United States:
in the Northeast (from Massachusetts to Maryland),
in the Midwest (Wisconsin and Minnesota), and
in the West (northern California and Oregon).油 油油油
Lyme disease is also widespread throughout much of Eurasia.
#27: The most common early sign of Lyme disease is a skin rash that has a bulls eye appearance.油 It begins as a reddened area near the tick bite.油 As the rash increases in size, it clears in the middle and develops a red ring around the outside.油
This rash:
May expand to a very large size,
Is usually not painful or itchy, and
Often appears on the thighs, groin, trunk, armpit, or back.
The rash has been reported in about 60 to 80 percent of adults and 50 percent of children.油油
The classic rash has central clearing as shown here, but not all rashes have this presentation.
#28: Sometimes the rash does not have a bulls eye appearance.油 It may appear as a reddened area without an outer ring.
Lyme disease is not transmitted from person to person.
Not everyone gets a rash with Lyme disease.
The early signs and symptoms of Lyme disease (fever, chills, headache, muscle/joint pain and fatigue) are similar to other ailments.油油 Therefore, it may be difficult to diagnose Lyme disease if a person does not have the rash.油
#29: Take preventive actions to protect yourself from tick bites, especially from May through July in Minnesota.
Wear long pants and long-sleeved shirts.
Tuck pants into boots or socks and shirt into pants to create a barrier to ticks.
Wear light-colored pants and shirt so ticks can be easily seen.
We also recommend the use of repellents containing DEET (up to 30% for children and adults) or permethrin.
#30: Use these steps to remove a tick:
Use forceps or tweezers,
Grasp the tick close to the skin,
Pull the tick outward slowly, gently and steadily,
Do not squeeze the tick, and
Use an antiseptic on the bite.
Do not use Vaseline to smother the tick; you cant smother ticks that way. Also, dont try to burn the tick with a match; this will not cause the tick to pull out and you could get burned.
#42: Friction: The resistance encountered when an object (foot) is moved in contact with another (ground). Friction is necessary in order to walk without slipping.
#49: Slap the ground with your hand and extended fingers to absorb impact
