To be able to achieve our goals we need to have abundant energy. The first step to having that is gaining consciousness around the our primary energy source - food.
In this masterclass I will walk you through our history as hunter gatherers and show you the foods that were typical of our African seasonal diet.
We will cover why diets fail and how we should not use the word diet but talk about a healthy eating lifestyle.
We will cover the food industry's massive manipulation of our cravings and how to avoid falling in their trap (hint - avoiding sugar and reading food labels).
We will also cover the 6 Human Hungers, out of which only one is genuine and the rest are perceived.
In the end I will cover in more detail the WildFit program, having a person who has graduated it recently share his experience.

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.
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.

Observability Concepts EVERY Developer Should Know -- DeveloperWeek Europe.pdfPaige Cruz
Monitoring and observability aren’t traditionally found in software curriculums and many of us cobble this knowledge together from whatever vendor or ecosystem we were first introduced to and whatever is a part of your current company’s observability stack.
While the dev and ops silo continues to crumble….many organizations still relegate monitoring & observability as the purview of ops, infra and SRE teams. This is a mistake - achieving a highly observable system requires collaboration up and down the stack.
I, a former op, would like to extend an invitation to all application developers to join the observability party will share these foundational concepts to build on:

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. He is known for his dynamic presentations in CI/CD and application security integrated in software delivery lifecycle.
Gopinath Rebala
Gopinath Rebala is the CTO of OpsMx, where he has overall responsibility for the machine learning and data processing architectures for Secure Software Delivery.

Food Vision: Connecting Leaders in Food – 21 March 2013
My parents took me abroad for the first time at the age of six to Spain. My father ordered tapas and without telling us
what anything was and got us to taste each dish and give it a mark out of ten. Nothing scored lower than a seven.
Only afterwards did he tell me what everything was. It was a great way to overcome the ‘yuk’ factor.

Sweet = ripe, Bitter = poison
Overtime our taste buds have
developed to reflect our
environment.
Our context influences what we

The experience we associate with
the food we consume are the most
important factor in establishing our

The stages of taste development
Youngster Young adult Established Staid
When young we prefer milder
foods. Vanilla remains a favourite
and is linked to early stage milk.
Food is often the one area kids
have control over and it can
become a battle ground.
Our peers are a key influence on
us. Even tastes we initially dislike
are persisted with in order to fit in
e.g. beer.
By mid adulthood our tastes are
largely established and only fined,
often as a reflection of status i.e.
wine.
By late adulthood (60+) the
willingness to experience has
largely dissipated and a
conservative approach to food is
adopted.

2. Our taste is shaped in our youth – within the context of

want to create
5. In order to innovate in food we need to understand the

My family noticed that my mother was getting thin. Eventually she was diagnosed with dementia and ‘confessed’ that
she didn’t know what food she liked, even when it was in her mouth. The connection between her experiences and
taste had been broken. As a consequence she now finds it difficult to regulate her emotions through the types of food
she consumes – something that we usually take for granted.

Experiments indicate that providing a sample in
store encourages ‘indulgence’, and customers
are more likely to splash-out of a range of
products.
But beware because a customer that refuses a
sample is more likely to have their self-denial
strengthened and subsequent sales can dip.

True story: I spotted this can of tuna in the chocolate aisle. For 20 mins no one touched the chocolate. Once removed
chocolate was selected roughly once ever 30 seconds. A phenomenon known as psychic contamination.

The power of scent
84% of consumers placed in a scented room rated
a pair of running shoes as better than those in a room
without the pleasant smell, despite being the same shoes.
A casino found that people gambled 45% more
money on slot machines when there was a nice
scent in the air.

This is my Mother and step-dad MikeAbout 5 years ago we noticed my Mum getting thin. They did checks but couldn’t work out problem.Until she confessed that she didn’t know what food she liked.It turns out she had early stages of alzheimers which meant she found it difficult to remember what she liked. It was just that she couldn’t remember what she liked when ordering food, even when it was in her mouth she didn’t know because her ability to recall her experiences had been destroyed.One of the consequences of the alzheimers is that she finds it difficult to regulate her emotions. Not because her brain is in emotional turmoil but because she can’t use food as a mechanism to regulate and recreate them.Any business that understands how their food creates and sedates emotional Need States is well on the way to creating a must have product marketed in the best way.
