Stars are formed from dust and gas drawn together by gravity. As a protostar, increasing heat from compression leads to hydrogen fusion, forming a main sequence star. Over time, a star runs out of hydrogen fuel in its core and swells into a red giant. From there, a dying star will either cool into a white and then black dwarf, or for larger stars, explode as a supernova, throwing material containing heavier elements formed during its life into space. What remains is either a neutron star or, for the largest stars, a black hole.
The exoplanet discovery behind the 2019 noble prize in physics explained wonderdome
Last week the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences announced the winners of the 2019 Nobel Prize in Physics. We were overjoyed to find out that this year’s most prestigious scientific award goes to three astronomers, James Peebles, Michel Mayor and Didier Queloz, for their “contributions to our understanding of the evolution of the universe and Earth’s place in the cosmos”. James Peebles will receive half of the prize in recognition of his “theoretical discoveries in physical cosmology”. Another half of the prize will go jointly to the Swiss astronomers Michel Mayor and Didier Queloz “for the discovery of an exoplanet orbiting a solar-type star” the scientists made in 1995.

Discussion of the myth and the reality of the Cossacks as people and as soldiers. Their reputation of fierce fighters trained from a young age in horsemanship and how to use weapons. Trained by experienced warriors how to use these skilled in combat practices. Their special role in the Tsars Army as light calvary. Their wartime reputation as a tremendous fighting force from their enemies Napoleon and the Ottoman Turks. Their control of autonomous Cossack Communities and their anti Jewish view point and their role in the Programs against Jews in Russia..

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.

The Art of the Pitch: WordPress Relationships and SalesLaura Byrne
Clients don’t know what they don’t know. What web solutions are right for them? How does WordPress come into the picture? How do you make sure you understand scope and timeline? What do you do if sometime changes?
All these questions and more will be explored as we talk about matching clients’ needs with what your agency offers without pulling teeth or pulling your hair out. Practical tips, and strategies for successful relationship building that leads to closing the deal.
Kubernetes & AI - Beauty and the Beast !?! @KCD Istanbul 2024Tobias Schneck
As AI technology is pushing into IT I was wondering myself, as an “infrastructure container kubernetes guy”, how get this fancy AI technology get managed from an infrastructure operational view? Is it possible to apply our lovely cloud native principals as well? What benefit’s both technologies could bring to each other?
Let me take this questions and provide you a short journey through existing deployment models and use cases for AI software. On practical examples, we discuss what cloud/on-premise strategy we may need for applying it to our own infrastructure to get it to work from an enterprise perspective. I want to give an overview about infrastructure requirements and technologies, what could be beneficial or limiting your AI use cases in an enterprise environment. An interactive Demo will give you some insides, what approaches I got already working for real.

GDG Cloud Southlake #33: Boule & Rebala: Effective AppSec in SDLC using Deplo...James Anderson
Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).
Speakers:
Bob Boule
Robert Boule is a technology enthusiast with PASSION for technology and making things work along with a knack for helping others understand how things work. He comes with around 20 years of solution engineering experience in application security, software continuous delivery, and SaaS platforms.

"Impact of front-end architecture on development cost", Viktor TurskyiFwdays
I have heard many times that architecture is not important for the front-end. Also, many times I have seen how developers implement features on the front-end just following the standard rules for a framework and think that this is enough to successfully launch the project, and then the project fails. How to prevent this and what approach to choose? I have launched dozens of complex projects and during the talk we will analyze which approaches have worked for me and which have not.
