The Evolution of Hadoop at Spotify - Through Failures and PainRafał Wojdyła
The quickest way to learn and evolve infrastructure is by encountering obstacles and being forced to overcome limitations that keep you inches away from project goals. At Spotify, we’ve encountered many of these obstacles and frustrations as we grew our Hadoop cluster from a few machines in an office closet aggregating played song events for financial reports, to our current 900 node cluster that plays a large role in many features that you see in our application today.
Two members of Spotify’s Hadoop ‘squad’ will weave in war stories, failures, frustrations and lessons learned to describe the Hadoop/Big Data architecture at Spotify and talk about how that architecture has evolved.
We’ll talk about how and why we use a number of tools, including Apache Falcon and Apache Bigtop to test changes; Apache Crunch, Scalding and Hive w/ Tez to build features and provide analytics; and Snakebite and Luigi, two in-house tools created to overcome common frustrations.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

problems can help you to think about your
own life and how you can solve problems
22. Comparing genres

different from one another?
• Which one do you prefer? Why?
26. Fantasy
Even though fantasy stories include magic,
there are still rules…it’s important to pay
attention to the way that magic works in each
story
27. Which story is the fantasy?

30. Fantasy
Be careful! Fantasy stories can sometimes
start out sounding like realistic fiction. Look
for the little details that point to fantasy.
31. Reading for Fantasy Details
Can you find the details that point to a fantasy?
Rachel walked up to her school. She had her
homework and her lunch. She was ready for
the day.
But then she stared at the entrance to the
school. Overnight, the regular metal doors
had transformed into a huge drawbridge. A
scaly green dragon coiled around the swing
set.

34. Why should I care?
• Fantasy stories often show how even magic
can’t solve every problem
• Reading fantasy stories expands your
imagination and helps you to imagine other
worlds and other possibilities
35. What have you learned?
• How is fantasy different from realistic fiction?
• What fantasy stories have you read?
37. Science Fiction
• Like fantasy, science fiction includes details
and events that can’t happen in the real world
• Instead of magic, though, science fiction
focuses more on special technology
38. Science Fiction
In science fiction, look for:
Time travel
Unbelievable gadgets
Aliens
Space travel that doesn’t yet exist
39. Science Fiction
• Science fiction stories often explore how
technology affects people and changes our
lives
• Some stories show that amazing technology
still doesn’t make people happy
• Others show that some kinds of technology
can cause problems in the world
41. What details show that this is science
fiction?
Topher pressed the button. Zoom! Zip! Suddenly he
was traveling up, up toward the sky. Wow! This was
not boring. Topher looked down toward his backyard.
It was getting smaller and smaller and smaller. He
looked up at the sky. The clouds were getting closer
and closer. Whoosh! He flew through a cloud. It felt
wet and slimy. But then things started getting darker.
He was leaving Earth’s atmosphere. Now he was in
space! Topher saw a gray green spaceship ahead. A
black door opened and he drifted through. Wow! This
was much, much better than playing with a flat soccer
ball.

44. Why should I care?
• Many people think that new technology is
always good—the newer and faster the better!
• Science fiction helps us to think about some
of the effects of new technology that may not
be as great for ourselves and our world

52. Mystery
• In a mystery, the main character is trying to
solve a mystery
• The main character finds clues and follows
leads
53. Mystery
• Whether or not a story is a mystery is not
determined by the setting
• A mystery can happen in the past, present, or
future
54. Mystery
What makes a story a mystery is how the
action unfolds…if the main character is
trying to solve a puzzle or figure something
out, the story is probably a mystery
55. Mystery
If you are reading a novel, you might not
discover the mystery until you are a few pages
or even chapters into the book
Be careful! Some stories do
have elements of mystery, or
short little mysteries in the
course of a bigger story. But is
the mystery the main conflict?
56. Which story is the mystery?

58. Why should I care?
• Mystery stories are a great way to develop
careful reading skills
• Often, important clues are buried in dialogue
or long paragraphs
• By reading mysteries, you’ll learn how to
notice these clues and figure out the solution!
59. Reading mysteries
• Have you ever read a mystery story or series?
• What was the mystery? How did the main
character try to solve it?
70. Genre Hybrids
• A genre hybrid (or cross-genre) is a text that
includes elements of different genres
• Just like a hybrid car uses both gasoline and
electricity, hybrid genres can have
characteristics of two or more genres
71. Genre Hybrids
As you think about the genre of a text,
remember that there are many stories that
don’t fit perfectly into any one genre
72. Genre Hybrids
For example, a story that combines science
fiction elements with magic could be called
“science fantasy”
Have you ever read any hybrid books? What
genres did they combine?
73. What have you learned?
On the next few slides,
you’ll see descriptions of
popular books. Can you
figure out the genres of
the books?

Often, there will not be one detail that definitively points to historical fiction. Show students that they need to put the various details together to figure out the genre
If students have reading logs or journals, encourage them to look through them to find examples of historical fiction.
This is a great place to take a break from the Powerpoint and call on students to help you dramatize a pourquoi story.
