Renewable energy comes from natural resources that regenerate, like sunlight, wind, water, and geothermal heat. Globally, 16% of energy comes from renewables such as biomass, hydroelectricity, wind, solar, and geothermal. Major types of renewable energy include wind power, hydropower, solar energy, biomass, biofuels, geothermal energy, and wave power. Each of these renewable sources is described in the document.

PHP Frameworks: I want to break free (IPC Berlin 2024)Ralf Eggert
In this presentation, we examine the challenges and limitations of relying too heavily on PHP frameworks in web development. We discuss the history of PHP and its frameworks to understand how this dependence has evolved. The focus will be on providing concrete tips and strategies to reduce reliance on these frameworks, based on real-world examples and practical considerations. The goal is to equip developers with the skills and knowledge to create more flexible and future-proof web applications. We'll explore the importance of maintaining autonomy in a rapidly changing tech landscape and how to make informed decisions in PHP development.
This talk is aimed at encouraging a more independent approach to using PHP frameworks, moving towards a more flexible and future-proof approach to PHP development.

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.
Connector Corner: Automate dynamic content and events by pushing a buttonDianaGray10
Here is something new! In our next Connector Corner webinar, we will demonstrate how you can use a single workflow to:
Create a campaign using Mailchimp with merge tags/fields
Send an interactive Slack channel message (using buttons)
Have the message received by managers and peers along with a test email for review
But there’s more:
In a second workflow supporting the same use case, you’ll see:
Your campaign sent to target colleagues for approval
If the “Approve” button is clicked, a Jira/Zendesk ticket is created for the marketing design team
But—if the “Reject” button is pushed, colleagues will be alerted via Slack message
Join us to learn more about this new, human-in-the-loop capability, brought to you by Integration Service connectors.

2. Renewable energy
Renewable energy is energy which comes from natural resources
such as sunlight,wind,rain,tides, and geothermal heat, which
are renewable (naturally replenished). About 16% of global final
energy consumption comes from renewables, with 10% coming
from traditional biomass, which is mainly used for heating, and
3.4% from hidroelecticity. New renewables (small
hydro, modern biomass, wind, solar, geothermal, and biofuels)
account another 2.8% and are growing very rapidly. The share
of renewables in electricity generation is around 19%, with 16%
of global electricity coming from hydroelectricity and 3% from
new renewables.
3. Types of renewable energy:
• Wind power: wind
• Hydropower: water
• Solar energy: the sun
• Biomass: organic material
• Biofuel:solid biomass,liquid fuels and biogases
• Goethermal energy: heat of the Earth
• Wave power: the ocean
4. Wind power
Wind power is the conversion
of wind energy into a useful
form of energy, by using
wind turbines to make
electricity, windmills for
mechanical
power, windpumps for water
pumping or drainage, or
sails to propel ships.
The total amount of
economically extractable
power available from the
wind is considerably more
than present human power
use from all sources
5. Hidropower
Hydroelectricity is the term referring to
electricity generated by hydropower; the
production of electrical power through the
use of the gravitational force of falling or
flowing water. It is the most widely used
form of renewable energy. Once a
hydroelectric complex is constructed, the
project produces no direct waste, and has a
considerably lower output level of the
greenhouse gas carbon dioxide (CO2) than
fossilfuel powered energy plants.
Worldwide, an installed capacity of 1,010
GW supplied hydroelectricity in 2010.
Approximately 16% of the world's
electricity is renewable, with hydroelectricity
accounting for 21% of renewable sources
and 3.4% of total energy sources.
6. Solar energy
Solar energy, radiant light and
heat from the sun, has been
harnessed by humans since ancient
times using a range of ever-
evolving technologies. Solar
radiation, along with secondary
solar-powered resources such as
wind and wave
power, hydroelecticity and
biomass, account for most of the
available renewable energy on
earth. Only a minuscule fraction
of the available solar energy is
used.
7. Biomass
Biomass, as a renewable energy source, is biological
material from living, or recently living organisms .As an
energy source, biomass can either be used directly, or
converted into other energy products such as biofuel.
8. Biofuel
Biofuel is a type of fuel whose energy is
derived from biological carbon fixation.
Biofuels include fuels derived from biomass
conversion, as well as solid
biomass, liquidfuels and various biogases.
Although fossil fuels have their origin in
ancient carbon fixation , they are not
considered biofuels by the generally accepted
definition because they contain carbon that
has been "out" of the carbon cycle for a very
long time. Biofuels are gaining increased
public and scientific attention, driven by
factors such as oil price spikes, the need for
increased energy security, concern over
greenhouse gas emissions from fossil fuels
, and support from government subsidies.
9. Goethermal energy
Geothermal energy is thermal energy
generated and stored in the Earth.
Thermal energy is the energy that
determines the temperature of matter.
Earth's geothermal energy originates
from the original formation of the
planet (20%) and from radioactive
decay of minerals
(80%).Thegeothermal gradient, which
is the difference in temperature between
the core of the planet and its
surface, drives a continuous conduction
of thermal energy in the form of heat
from the core to the surface. The
adjective geothermal originates from
the Greek roots geo, meaning
earth, and thermos, meaning heat.
10. Wave power
Wave power is the transport of energy
by ocean surface waves , and the
capture of that energy to do useful
work— for example,electricity
generation ,water destilation, or the
pumping of water (into reservoirs).
Machinery able to exploit wave power is
generally known as a wave energy
converter (WEC).
Wave power is distinct from the
diurnal flux of tidal power and the
steady gyre of ocean currents. Wave
power generation is not currently a
widely employed commercial technology
although there have been attempts at
using it since at least 1890. In
2008, the first experimental wavefarm
was opened in Portugal, at the
agucadoura wave park.
