Events
1.) Correction: Literary Generations and the Kibbutz Experiment
Nov. 5, noon, University Club (corrects date)
$15/person, $10/students
Ranen Omer-Sherman, Endowed Chair of Judaic Studies, will discuss the kibbutz and its depiction in different genres. Numerous novels, short fiction, memoirs, and movies have portrayed the kibbutz as a crucial microcosm for understanding Israeli values and identity. The central drama explored in their works is the monumental tension between the individual and the collective, aspiration and ideological rigor, self-sacrifice and self-fulfillment, and between belonging and estrangement.

IT
2.) New security option recommended for Plone WebForms
IT’s Information Systems has installed a CAPTCHA (Completely Automated Public Turing test to tell Computers and Humans Apart) option for PloneFormGen forms. CAPTCHA is a challenge-response program that reliably protects websites against targeting computers by generating tests that only humans can pass. IT highly recommends using this additional program to protect your web forms from the growing rate of cybercrime. To review an example: WebPage.
