Seven crew members died when the Space Shuttle Challenger exploded 73 seconds after liftoff on January 28, 1986. The explosion was caused by the failure of an O-ring seal in the right solid rocket booster. The disaster highlighted the importance of safety precautions before launch and led to technological advances in spacecraft. It had a significant impact on NASA and the families of the crew members who perished.

Cassandra EU - State of CQL
CQL is Cassandra's query language that provides a SQL-like interface for Cassandra. It allows for efficient queries by requiring denormalized data models and exposing how to collocate data on replicas and disks through its use of a primary key. New features in Cassandra 2.0 include lightweight transactions, triggers, secondary indexes on more types, and an improved native protocol. Future improvements may include user defined types, storage optimizations for CQL, and secondary indexes on collections.

On cassandra's evolution @ Berlin buzzwords
Cassandra has evolved significantly since its initial releases in 2011. Cassandra 1.2 introduced features like virtual nodes and CQL3. Virtual nodes allow for faster node repairs and heterogeneous clusters. CQL3 provides a simpler interface compared to Thrift and supports features like secondary indexes and materialized views. Future releases will focus on improvements to CQL3 and the native protocol as well as new features like compare-and-swap and triggers. Tracing capabilities have also been added to help diagnose performance issues. Overall, Cassandra continues to add features to improve scalability, availability and ease of use.
On Cassandra Development: Past, Present and Future
Cassandra has come a long way from versions 0.5 to the current 1.1. Version 1.1 includes improvements like global caching, row-level isolation, and CQL 3.0. Future versions may focus on improving wide rows, smarter tombstone compaction, and supporting very large clusters. Cassandra development looks to continuously enhance performance, functionality and usability.
33rd degree conference
The main sponsor of the document is Sylvain Lebresne from DataStax. The document discusses the storage engine behind Apache Cassandra. It describes how Cassandra is optimized for write performance by writing data to an in-memory structure called a memtable and writing immutable files called SSTables to disk sequentially. It also explains how reads work by merging data from multiple SSTables and caching frequently accessed data in memory. Compaction is used to consolidate SSTables and keep read performance high.
Lynsey Dyer Portfolio
The document provides details about Lynsey Dyer's portfolio, including:
1. Six project experiences ranging from schools to hotels located in Scotland, England, and the United Arab Emirates.
2. Summaries of two school projects in particular - Dunblane High School in Scotland and St. Paul's Way School in London.
3. For Dunblane High School, the summary describes the site strategy and orientation of the building. For St. Paul's Way School, it outlines the concept of using the building to help regenerate the local area and bring communities together.
The Economic Cost Of The Iraq War
The goal of this report will be to bring awareness of the various economic costs of the Iraq War. The war which has continued for far longer than anyone expected has seen recent estimates of costs to accumulate to roughly a trillion dollars. That amount is staggering considering former director of the White House Economic Council Lawrence Lindsey stunned the Bush Administration in 2002 when Lindsey suggested the war would cost between $100 and $200 billion.
The report will focus on the economic costs associated with the U.S. budget and how it is set aside for Department of Defense spending, the costs to Iraq and the environment, and the cost of human life loss and post-war lives of veterans. Our findings and research based on several previous reports contain some estimates and require several assumptions when we try to monetize the values of human life and other indirect costs related to the war.

Fosdem 2012
The document discusses the Apache Cassandra database. It describes Cassandra as a distributed, decentralized, replicated and durable database that is scalable, fault-tolerant, and highly available. The data model is not SQL-based but uses a column-family structure. Updates are written to a commit log and memtable before being flushed to disk in immutable SSTables files. This process minimizes random I/O for write performance. Reads are handled through merging data from SSTables. Compaction keeps the number of SSTables low by merging them sequentially.

Data is replicated across multiple nodes for fault tolerance.
The Other War: Combating Global Poverty
This presentation is about ending poverty in our time. It is about making the right choices that can lead to a much safer world based on a true reverence and respect for human life.
This presentation brings to our attention the daily struggles for survival, and the vast number of impoverished people around the world who lose that struggle. We attempt to demonstrate that all parts of the world have a chance to join an age of unprecedented prosperity, building on global science, technology and markets. However, one can also see that certain parts of the world are caught in a downward spiral of impoverishment, hunger and disease. We demonstrate this by means of case studies.
This presentation attempts at outlining why some countries fail to thrive and how the developed world can assist the rest of humanity get a foothold on the ladder of development.

ChiChi Jima: An Asian Island with a Western History
This tiny volcanic island in the far western Pacific was settled by seven Caucasian families from Massachusetts in 1831. It was visited by Commodore Perry in 1853 and began flying the U.S. flag.
Chichi Jima became part of Japan in 1912. It is in the Bonin Island chain, not far from Iwo Jima. The Caucasian residents became citizens of Japan.
When World War II erupted, the young men of the island joined the Japanese military. While Iwo Jima had flat areas appropriate for an airfield, mountainous Chichi Jima was selected for a strategic radio relay station.
As the war progressed in 1944, the U.S. Navy decided the radio station had to be taken out. The second attempt was given to 20-year old Lt (j.g.) George H. W. Bush, a future president of the United States. His plane was hit and he bailed out over the water.
The island is still inhabited by descendants of the original Caucasian settlers.
Fascinating geography and a great piece of little-known history.

AI 101: An Introduction to the Basics and Impact of Artificial Intelligence
Imagine a world where machines not only perform tasks but also learn, adapt, and make decisions. This is the promise of Artificial Intelligence (AI), a technology that's not just enhancing our lives but revolutionizing entire industries.
Artificial Intelligence for XMLDevelopment
In the rapidly evolving landscape of technologies, XML continues to play a vital role in structuring, storing, and transporting data across diverse systems. The recent advancements in artificial intelligence (AI) present new methodologies for enhancing XML development workflows, introducing efficiency, automation, and intelligent capabilities. This presentation will outline the scope and perspective of utilizing AI in XML development. The potential benefits and the possible pitfalls will be highlighted, providing a balanced view of the subject.
We will explore the capabilities of AI in understanding XML markup languages and autonomously creating structured XML content. Additionally, we will examine the capacity of AI to enrich plain text with appropriate XML markup. Practical examples and methodological guidelines will be provided to elucidate how AI can be effectively prompted to interpret and generate accurate XML markup.
Further emphasis will be placed on the role of AI in developing XSLT, or schemas such as XSD and Schematron. We will address the techniques and strategies adopted to create prompts for generating code, explaining code, or refactoring the code, and the results achieved.
The discussion will extend to how AI can be used to transform XML content. In particular, the focus will be on the use of AI XPath extension functions in XSLT, Schematron, Schematron Quick Fixes, or for XML content refactoring.
The presentation aims to deliver a comprehensive overview of AI usage in XML development, providing attendees with the necessary knowledge to make informed decisions. Whether you’re at the early stages of adopting AI or considering integrating it in advanced XML development, this presentation will cover all levels of expertise.
By highlighting the potential advantages and challenges of integrating AI with XML development tools and languages, the presentation seeks to inspire thoughtful conversation around the future of XML development. We’ll not only delve into the technical aspects of AI-powered XML development but also discuss practical implications and possible future directions.

Webinar: Designing a schema for a Data Warehouse
Are you new to data warehouses (DWH)? Do you need to check whether your data warehouse follows the best practices for a good design? In both cases, this webinar is for you.
A data warehouse is a central relational database that contains all measurements about a business or an organisation. This data comes from a variety of heterogeneous data sources, which includes databases of any type that back the applications used by the company, data files exported by some applications, or APIs provided by internal or external services.
But designing a data warehouse correctly is a hard task, which requires gathering information about the business processes that need to be analysed in the first place. These processes must be translated into so-called star schemas, which means, denormalised databases where each table represents a dimension or facts.
We will discuss these topics:
- How to gather information about a business;
- Understanding dictionaries and how to identify business entities;
- Dimensions and facts;
- Setting a table granularity;
- Types of facts;
- Types of dimensions;
- Snowflakes and how to avoid them;
- Expanding existing dimensions and facts.

- 2. Why should we care?? Seven people died in this so called “explosion”. These people knew the risk and still decided to go on with their mission of space exploration even though they never made it there. We should also care because this has helped improve safety precautions that are taken before any lift-off, and has also helped N.A.S.A make technological advances in their space craft program.
- 3. Styles?!?!?! Happened In the late 80’s, January 28, 1986. Popular music was Hip-Hop and these were considered the “Golden Years” for Hip-Hop. Style of clothing was Grunge, bright and baggy and big shoes. Hair styles for men was either short and combed down or kind of long with long side burns.
