Ocean currents redistribute heat from the equator to the poles, regulating global temperatures and influencing local climates near coastlines. Warm currents lead to warmer coastal climates while cold currents result in cooler coastal climates.

This presentation outlines the ARCC Climate Change Vulnerability Assessment & Adaptation Study.
The objectives of the study were to take an ecosystems approach in:
1) Identifying CC impact and vulnerabilities of rural poor and their environment - water resources, food security, livelihoods and biodiversity (fisheries and wildlife);
2) Identifying hot spots in the LMB: provide a scientific evidence base to guide the selection of pilot project sites;
3) Defining adaptation strategies to inform community and ecosystem-based adaptation pilot projects and
4) Communicating the results of the vulnerability assessment and adaptation planning.

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.

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.

Elevating Tactical DDD Patterns Through Object CalisthenicsDorra BARTAGUIZ
After immersing yourself in the blue book and its red counterpart, attending DDD-focused conferences, and applying tactical patterns, you're left with a crucial question: How do I ensure my design is effective? Tactical patterns within Domain-Driven Design (DDD) serve as guiding principles for creating clear and manageable domain models. However, achieving success with these patterns requires additional guidance. Interestingly, we've observed that a set of constraints initially designed for training purposes remarkably aligns with effective pattern implementation, offering a more ‘mechanical’ approach. Let's explore together how Object Calisthenics can elevate the design of your tactical DDD patterns, offering concrete help for those venturing into DDD for the first time!

4. In mountains areas, temperatures drop as
height above sea level (altitude) increases,
producing different climates and vegetation at
different altitudes.
Trees can’t survive on high mountain
slopes because this is little soil, and the
ground may be frozen and blasted by harsh,
icy winds.
The direction which a mountains faces
(called its aspect) also effects its climate.
If one side of a mountain receives more
sunlight than the other, more vegetation may
grow there.
Small, low growing plants as moss and
lichens grow on the high mountainside.
5. In coastal areas, the land and sea gain and lose heat at different rates
during the day and night.
The air create a mild, wet climate.
This is known as a coastal or maritime climate.
DURING THE DAY: - land warms up more quickly.
- warm air cools, then sinks again.
- cooler air from above the sea moves in to replace the
warm air.
DURING THE NIGHT: - sea cools more slowly.
-warm air rises: cooler air moves out, air cools and
sinks.
6. Cities tend to be warmer than the areas surrounding them.
This is concrete absorbs more heat than vegetation. It also holds
on to heat for longer, making nights warmer in cities than in the
countryside.
The ground beneath a city also tends to be drier, as roads and
pavements prevent water from draining into the soil beneath.
7. Weather is what the forecasters on the TV news predict each day.
They tell people about the temperature, cloudiness, humidity, and
whether a storm is likely in the next few days. That’s weather! It is the
mix of events that happens each day in our atmosphere. Weather is
not the same everywhere. It may be hot and sunny in one part of the
world, but freezing and snowy in another.
Climate is the average weather in a place over many years. While the
weather can change in just a few hours, climate takes hundreds,
thousands, even millions of years to change.
