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!

LF Energy Webinar: Electrical Grid Modelling and Simulation Through PowSyBl -...DanBrown980551
Do you want to learn how to model and simulate an electrical network from scratch in under an hour?
Then welcome to this PowSyBl workshop, hosted by Rte, the French Transmission System Operator (TSO)!
During the webinar, you will discover the PowSyBl ecosystem as well as handle and study an electrical network through an interactive Python notebook.
PowSyBl is an open source project hosted by LF Energy, which offers a comprehensive set of features for electrical grid modelling and simulation. Among other advanced features, PowSyBl provides:
- A fully editable and extendable library for grid component modelling;
- Visualization tools to display your network;
- Grid simulation tools, such as power flows, security analyses (with or without remedial actions) and sensitivity analyses;
The framework is mostly written in Java, with a Python binding so that Python developers can access PowSyBl functionalities as well.
What you will learn during the webinar:
- For beginners: discover PowSyBl's functionalities through a quick general presentation and the notebook, without needing any expert coding skills;
- For advanced developers: master the skills to efficiently apply PowSyBl functionalities to your real-world scenarios.
A tale of scale & speed: How the US Navy is enabling software delivery from l...sonjaschweigert1
Rapid and secure feature delivery is a goal across every application team and every branch of the DoD. The Navy’s DevSecOps platform, Party Barge, has achieved:
- Reduction in onboarding time from 5 weeks to 1 day
- Improved developer experience and productivity through actionable findings and reduction of false positives
- Maintenance of superior security standards and inherent policy enforcement with Authorization to Operate (ATO)
Development teams can ship efficiently and ensure applications are cyber ready for Navy Authorizing Officials (AOs). In this webinar, Sigma Defense and Anchore will give attendees a look behind the scenes and demo secure pipeline automation and security artifacts that speed up application ATO and time to production.
We will cover:
- How to remove silos in DevSecOps
- How to build efficient development pipeline roles and component templates
- How to deliver security artifacts that matter for ATO’s (SBOMs, vulnerability reports, and policy evidence)
- How to streamline operations with automated policy checks on container images

Estonia
1. Renewable energy accounts for 9.5 percent of Estonia’s total installed electricity capacity. Estonia has beneficial
conditions for the exploitation of renewable energy sources, particularly for wind and biomass.The country sup-
ports renewable energies through a feed-in premium. Wind, high-efficient combined heat and power biomass,
biogas, hydro, solar and geothermal plants are eligible to receive the premium, which is granted for 12 years.
There are no output caps, other than for wind power plants.When a threshold of 600 GW-h of annually produced
electricity is reached, the premium for wind power plants is discontinued. Wind plant operators can only receive
the premium if they do not receive any other subsidy from the state for the same plant. Only high efficiency
combined heat and power biomass plants are eligible for the premium. In theWorld Bank’s Ease of Ding Business
indicator, Estonia is well placed in 22nd
position (IFC & World Bank, 2014).

2. According to EU Directive 2009/28/EC on Renewable Energy, Estonia developed a National Renewable Energy
Action Plan. The plan targets a national binding share of 25 percent renewable energy in gross final energy con-
sumption by 2020 (Republic of Estonia, 2010). Renewable energy producers are not given priority in grid access
and plant operators bear the grid connection costs. However, for selected technologies other incentives exist in
the form of direct investment support from the state. Combined heat and power plants with project costs of
more than €50 million can receive up to €3.5 million in grants from European Union Structural Funds for invest-
ment and grid connection. Farmers can be eligible to receive up to 60 percent, to a maximum of €512,000, from
the European Agricultural Fund for Rural Development for investment costs in biomass plants or energy culture
growth. Wind energy producers are eligible to receive up to €20 million in a round-based allocation of govern-
ment funds from the green investment scheme for their investment costs (ResLegal, 2013).
