The document discusses the feudal system that developed in Europe after the fall of the Western Roman Empire. It describes how the feudal system was based on hierarchies of land ownership and personal obligations. Lords granted land (fiefs) to vassals in exchange for military service and protection. In turn, peasants lived and worked on the manor lands in exchange for protection from their lord. While the manor provided necessities, peasants also faced high taxes and duties under the feudal system.
World history & geog presentation feudalismJoseph Oloba
The Middle Ages or medieval time is believed to have started with the fall of the Roman Empire in 476 and to have lasted about 1,000 years until about 1450.
The beginning of the Middle Ages is called the Dark Ages because the great civilizations of Rome and Greece had been conquered.
The adjective feudal was coined in the 17th century, and the noun feudalism, often used in a political and propaganda context, was not coined until the 19th century (Elizabeth A. R. Brown, 1974) .
Since at least the 1960s, when Marc Bloch's Feudal Society (1939) was first translated into English in 1961, many medieval historians have included a broader social aspect that includes not only the nobility but all three estates of the realm, adding the peasantry bonds of manorialism and the estates of the Church; this is sometimes referred to as "feudal society" since it encompasses all members of society into the feudal system.

Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.

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!

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.

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).

Feudalism In Europe
1.
2. Before you leave class, you must
complete the following:
List one of each: What benefits do
you think a medieval manor
provided to the serfs who lived
there? What were the drawbacks
3. Europeans developed feudalism, a
political and military system of
protective alliances and
relationships
The rights and duties of feudal
relationships helped shape today’s
forms of representative government.
4. After the treaty of Verdun, Charlemagne’s
three feuding grandsons broke the kingdom up
even further.
Part of this territory also became a
battleground as new waves of invaders
attacked Europe.
The political turmoil and constant warfare led
to the rise of feudalism- a military and political
system based on land ownership and personal
loyalty.
6. Why do these NFL teams take the names of
European invaders from 1000 years ago?
7. Vikings set sail from
Scandinavia, a wintry,
wooded region in
Northern Europe.
The Vikings are also
known as Norsemen.
They took pride in
violent names like
Eric Bloodaxe and
Thorfinn Skullsplitter
Modern-day Scandinavia
8. Tuesday is named for the Norse god Tyr,
the Norse equivalent of the Roman god
Mars, the Spanish word Martes is based on
Tyr as well.
Wednesday is named for the Norse god
Woden.
Thursday is named for the Norse god Thor
Friday is named for the Norse goddess
Frigg.
9. A Viking ship, known
as a Prow, held 300
warriors who took turns
rowing the ships 72 oars
10. Vikings were traders, farmers and outstanding
explorers. Leif Ericson likely reached North
America 500 years before Columbus
As Vikings accepted Christianity, they stopped
raiding monasteries.
A warming trend in Europe’s climate made
farming easier in Scandinavia.
As agriculture increased, the seafaring life of a
Viking became less necessary.
11. The Magyars are
a group of
nomadic peoples
who were superb
horseback riders.
The Magyars
swept across the
Danube and
invaded Western
Europe.
The Magyars
captured people
to sell as slaves.
They overran
Northern Italy
and reached as
far west as the
Rhineland and
Burgundy The Magyars came from present day Hungary.
The Hungarians today speak the language of
Magyar.
12. Muslims controlled the
Mediterranean Sea and disrupted
trade.
The Muslims plundered Europe
during the 800s and 900s.
They attacked Atlantic and
Mediterranean coasts and as far
inland as Switzerland
13. In 911 Rollo the
Viking and King
Charles the Simple of
France made peace.
This marked the
beginning of the end
of the Viking
invasions in Western
Europe.
14. Feudalism is based on mutual
obligations.
In exchange for military protection,
a lord or landowner granted land
which was called a fief.
The person receiving the fief was
called a vassal
15. At the peak of the
pyramid is the King.
The next step are the
vassals and church
officials
They were followed by
knights, mounted
warriors who pledged
to defend their lord’s
land in exchange for
fiefs
The peasants who
worked the fields were
at the bottom of the
pyramid
16. In the feudal system, status defined
a person’s prestige and power.
There were three groups
Those who fought (nobles and
knights)
Those who prayed (Church Officials)
Those who worked (peasants)
17. Serfs were people
who could not
lawfully leave the
place they were born.
They were not slaves,
they could not be
bought or sold.
The wealth of the
feudal lords came
from the labor of
peasants
18. The manor was the
lord’s estate.
The lord provided
the serfs with
housing and fields,
in return the serfs
worked the fields.
Men and women
alike worked in the
fields.
19. Peasants pay a high price for life on a manor
They pay tax on all grain ground in the lord’s
mill.
Peasants also paid a marriage tax.
Peasant families had to pay a tax to the church
known as a tithe.
A tithe represented one-tenth of their income
