In many English language programs, learners of multiple proficiency levels are grouped together in the same class. Teachers face the challenge of achieving course objectives and meeting the diverse needs of their students. This webinar addresses these challenges and offers classroom strategies to facilitate language learning for students of different levels. Participants will also come away with tips for simplifying planning and managing multi-level classes.
In this webinar, we address some challenges that students with learning differences, such as dyslexia, may endure during their foreign language studies, while offering practical advice on how to offer guidance and assistance. For students with learning differences such as dyslexia, instruction needs to be explicit, direct, and cumulative. Students with learning differences also greatly benefit from a student-centered classroom that is engaging and incorporates multi-modal learning approach to language learning. While the suggestions in this webinar are developed for students with learning differences, they are teaching practices that can support the academic success of all students.

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. He is known for his dynamic presentations in CI/CD and application security integrated in software delivery lifecycle.

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.
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!

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.

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.

9. What Is Organic?
‘Organic’ is an agricultural methodology
that promotes environmental
sustainability, fosters animal well-being
and enhances biodiversity and the
preservation of ecological systems.
‘Certified Organic’ indicates that food
and fiber products are grown according
to strict uniform standards that are
verified by a USDA-accredited, third-
party, state, private or non-profit
organization.
10. What Does Organic Mean?
• Organic is a production &
process claim.
– Organic is about how food is grown
and processed.
• •Organic is not a “free-from”
claim.
– It does not represent that a product is
“free-of” something.
• Organic is not a food safety
claim.
– Organic is not a judgment about the
quality or safety of any product.
• Organic is not a nutrition claim.
– Organic is not a judgment about the
nutrient value of a food.
11. U.S. Road to Organic Regulations
•1970’s: Organic certification agencies began developing
standards to support organic farming and thwart consumer
fraud.
•1990: Organic Foods Production Act passed by U.S. Congress
in Farm Bill
•1997: USDA released proposed regulations.
•2000: Second draft of the proposed regulations released.
Irradiation, GMO’s and sewage sludge excluded.
•2002: Full implementation and enforcement of National
Organic Program (NOP).
12. National Organic Program Benefits
•Consistency in certification
requirements
•USDA accreditation of certifiers
• Standardization of claims
• Levels the playing field
• Facilitates trade
