The slides are about the overview of ToC (Training of Conductors) program of Britzone English Speaking Club at Ministry of National Education of Indonesia. They feature what the sessions are about and what are expected from the sessions.
This document discusses the status of English in Mauritius and proposes a program called "English@live" to help revive the language. It notes that while English is the official language, most people do not regularly use it outside of formal settings. The proposed program would encourage Form 1 students (age 13-14) to speak English more through collaborative projects using various web 2.0 tools on a wiki platform. Some examples provided are using Vokiclassroom for language labs, Capzules for recording reading progress, and Blabberize or Photostory for communication skills assessments. Potential limitations discussed include technology access and training needs, with the understanding that the program is still in progress.
The Common European Framework of Reference (CEFR) is a standard developed by the Council of Europe to describe language ability. It introduces six common reference levels (A1 to C2) to standardize language education across Europe. The CEFR provides clear definitions of what language learners can do at each level to facilitate cooperation in language education.
This document outlines a 10-week intensive English training program divided into three sessions. Session one focuses on enhancing four language macro-skills through practice, exploring teaching methods, evaluating assessment approaches, and engaging in cooperative learning and cultural exchange. Session two involves a trip to Toronto, Canada. Session three details are to be added by Misty. The program aims to improve language proficiency and pedagogical skills through various classroom activities and experiences.
This document discusses teaching language in a productive way. It suggests that students often join spoken English classes after years of education in English due to a lack of focus on listening and imitating sound patterns. To teach language productively, the document recommends going back to basics by teaching language through recurrent listening and imitation of sound patterns.
The document discusses the results of a survey on perceptions of the advertising industry in Romania. It asks respondents to rate different aspects of the client-agency relationship and the advertising industry. It also asks respondents to evaluate the level of professionalism, business ethics, and potential growth areas within the industry. Key findings include that client understanding, creativity, and specialization are the top areas for improvement. Most respondents believed professionalism in the industry is average and that the level of business ethics has reached a high or very high level. Interactive/digital marketing and PR were seen as having the biggest growth potential.
This presentation is actually a summary of Evand Halim repeatedly explains to his students. He did an awesome work by systhesizing the complex interrelated relationship between some elements that make a sentence.
Subject-Verb Agreement is a nuisance sometimes. In many cases people often take for granted that a particular subject takes singular (or plural) verb, while the correct answer (especially in toefl case) is actually the opposite.

2. It should use pieces of your own writing as evidence for your argument. Specifically, you should integrate the following compositions as sources in your analysis:
a. 1 major/formal project from 101
b. 1 major/formal project from 102
c. 1 major/formal project from 103

LF Energy Webinar: Carbon Data Specifications: Mechanisms to Improve Data Acc...DanBrown980551
This LF Energy webinar took place June 20, 2024. It featured:
-Alex Thornton, LF Energy
-Hallie Cramer, Google
-Daniel Roesler, UtilityAPI
-Henry Richardson, WattTime
In response to the urgency and scale required to effectively address climate change, open source solutions offer significant potential for driving innovation and progress. Currently, there is a growing demand for standardization and interoperability in energy data and modeling. Open source standards and specifications within the energy sector can also alleviate challenges associated with data fragmentation, transparency, and accessibility. At the same time, it is crucial to consider privacy and security concerns throughout the development of open source platforms.
This webinar will delve into the motivations behind establishing LF Energy’s Carbon Data Specification Consortium. It will provide an overview of the draft specifications and the ongoing progress made by the respective working groups.
Three primary specifications will be discussed:
-Discovery and client registration, emphasizing transparent processes and secure and private access
-Customer data, centering around customer tariffs, bills, energy usage, and full consumption disclosure
-Power systems data, focusing on grid data, inclusive of transmission and distribution networks, generation, intergrid power flows, and market settlement data
In the realm of cybersecurity, offensive security practices act as a critical shield. By simulating real-world attacks in a controlled environment, these techniques expose vulnerabilities before malicious actors can exploit them. This proactive approach allows manufacturers to identify and fix weaknesses, significantly enhancing system security.
This presentation delves into the development of a system designed to mimic Galileo's Open Service signal using software-defined radio (SDR) technology. We'll begin with a foundational overview of both Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) and the intricacies of digital signal processing.
The presentation culminates in a live demonstration. We'll showcase the manipulation of Galileo's Open Service pilot signal, simulating an attack on various software and hardware systems. This practical demonstration serves to highlight the potential consequences of unaddressed vulnerabilities, emphasizing the importance of offensive security practices in safeguarding critical infrastructure.

From Natural Language to Structured Solr Queries using LLMsSease
This talk draws on experimentation to enable AI applications with Solr. One important use case is to use AI for better accessibility and discoverability of the data: while User eXperience techniques, lexical search improvements, and data harmonization can take organizations to a good level of accessibility, a structural (or “cognitive” gap) remains between the data user needs and the data producer constraints.
That is where AI – and most importantly, Natural Language Processing and Large Language Model techniques – could make a difference. This natural language, conversational engine could facilitate access and usage of the data leveraging the semantics of any data source.
The objective of the presentation is to propose a technical approach and a way forward to achieve this goal.
The key concept is to enable users to express their search queries in natural language, which the LLM then enriches, interprets, and translates into structured queries based on the Solr index’s metadata.
This approach leverages the LLM’s ability to understand the nuances of natural language and the structure of documents within Apache Solr.
The LLM acts as an intermediary agent, offering a transparent experience to users automatically and potentially uncovering relevant documents that conventional search methods might overlook. The presentation will include the results of this experimental work, lessons learned, best practices, and the scope of future work that should improve the approach and make it production-ready.

How information systems are built or acquired puts information, which is what they should be about, in a secondary place. Our language adapted accordingly, and we no longer talk about information systems but applications. Applications evolved in a way to break data into diverse fragments, tightly coupled with applications and expensive to integrate. The result is technical debt, which is re-paid by taking even bigger "loans", resulting in an ever-increasing technical debt. Software engineering and procurement practices work in sync with market forces to maintain this trend. This talk demonstrates how natural this situation is. The question is: can something be done to reverse the trend?
