Announcements 2nd sem week 1
Welcome to the second semester. Students should watch an introductory video, review the pacing guide, read the welcome letter and acknowledge agreement to its contents by filling out a form. Optionally, students can introduce themselves. The week 1 assignments include acknowledging the welcome letter, analyzing four poems titled "Good Times", "Queens, 1963", "Daddy", and "Do Not Go Gentle into the Good Night".
Adoration of the magi
This standard focuses on analyzing how a subject or key scene is represented in two different artistic mediums, noting what elements are emphasized or absent in each work. Students are to compare The Adoration of the Magi painting by Geertgen tot Sint Jans to another artistic representation of the same subject and analyze the similarities and differences in treatment.
Stages of argumentation
The document outlines 5 stages of developing argumentation skills: Stage 1 involves arguing based on personal beliefs without evidence; Stage 2 adds supporting reasons and evidence for claims; Stage 3 focuses on truth-seeking through research and listening to alternative views; Stage 4 recognizes unstated assumptions underlying one's own arguments; Stage 5 adapts arguments to the values and resistance of different audiences.
Position arguments.ppt
This document outlines the steps to creating an effective argument:
1. Choose an arguable issue and ensure it meets certain criteria.
2. State your claim or position on the issue.
3. Provide reasons to support your claim by using "because" statements that consider audience values.
4. Identify the assumptions underlying your claim and reasons to see if audiences will accept them.
5. Support your reasons and assumptions with evidence like facts, examples, research, and expert statements.
6. Anticipate and address any objections or counterarguments to your position.
Anatomy powerpoint final
This document compares the hearing ranges of humans and various animals. It states that humans can hear between 20-20,000 Hz, while animals like dogs, cats, mice, whales and elephants can hear sounds both above and below the human range. Each animal is adapted to use hearing for important functions like hunting, communication and navigation. The document provides key details on the frequency ranges and abilities of each species.
Using MeLCat
1) The document provides instructions for using MeLCat, a service that allows students to request books from other libraries.
2) It instructs users to search by keyword, author, or title and select the matching title before requesting the book be delivered to their school.
3) Users must select their school from a drop-down, enter their last name and student ID with a "P" prefix to complete the request and receive a confirmation message that their book will arrive within 5-10 days.

Why You Should Replace Windows 11 with Nitrux Linux 3.5.0 for enhanced perfor...
The choice of an operating system plays a pivotal role in shaping our computing experience. For decades, Microsoft's Windows has dominated the market, offering a familiar and widely adopted platform for personal and professional use. However, as technological advancements continue to push the boundaries of innovation, alternative operating systems have emerged, challenging the status quo and offering users a fresh perspective on computing.
One such alternative that has garnered significant attention and acclaim is Nitrux Linux 3.5.0, a sleek, powerful, and user-friendly Linux distribution that promises to redefine the way we interact with our devices. With its focus on performance, security, and customization, Nitrux Linux presents a compelling case for those seeking to break free from the constraints of proprietary software and embrace the freedom and flexibility of open-source computing.
Climate Impact of Software Testing at Nordic Testing Days
My slides at Nordic Testing Days 6.6.2024
Climate impact / sustainability of software testing discussed on the talk. ICT and testing must carry their part of global responsibility to help with the climat warming. We can minimize the carbon footprint but we can also have a carbon handprint, a positive impact on the climate. Quality characteristics can be added with sustainability, and then measured continuously. Test environments can be used less, and in smaller scale and on demand. Test techniques can be used in optimizing or minimizing number of tests. Test automation can be used to speed up testing.
HCL Notes and Domino License Cost Reduction in the World of DLAU
Webinar Recording: https://www.panagenda.com/webinars/hcl-notes-and-domino-license-cost-reduction-in-the-world-of-dlau/
The introduction of DLAU and the CCB & CCX licensing model caused quite a stir in the HCL community. As a Notes and Domino customer, you may have faced challenges with unexpected user counts and license costs. You probably have questions on how this new licensing approach works and how to benefit from it. Most importantly, you likely have budget constraints and want to save money where possible. Don’t worry, we can help with all of this!
We’ll show you how to fix common misconfigurations that cause higher-than-expected user counts, and how to identify accounts which you can deactivate to save money. There are also frequent patterns that can cause unnecessary cost, like using a person document instead of a mail-in for shared mailboxes. We’ll provide examples and solutions for those as well. And naturally we’ll explain the new licensing model.
Join HCL Ambassador Marc Thomas in this webinar with a special guest appearance from Franz Walder. It will give you the tools and know-how to stay on top of what is going on with Domino licensing. You will be able lower your cost through an optimized configuration and keep it low going forward.
These topics will be covered
- Reducing license cost by finding and fixing misconfigurations and superfluous accounts
- How do CCB and CCX licenses really work?
- Understanding the DLAU tool and how to best utilize it
- Tips for common problem areas, like team mailboxes, functional/test users, etc
- Practical examples and best practices to implement right away
