This document discusses key life lessons learned from the movie Life Lessons from. Some of the main lessons summarized are:
- Be yourself and never let the child in you die. It's okay to be stupid sometimes and believe in new beginnings.
- Live life to the fullest and the journey is more important than the destination. You never know when you may be saving a life through small acts of thoughtfulness.
- Love yourself first before others. How you react externally is a reflection of your internal state. Do what you feel is right and you will not blame others.
This document discusses exploring the qualities of good and bad friendships and different types of peer pressure. It provides discussion questions about the qualities students look for in friends, whether good friends can have both good and bad qualities, and ways friends may pressure each other to do things against their beliefs or values. Examples of peer pressure situations are given, such as a friend pressuring someone to exclude another person or pressure to smoke cigarettes or carry an illegal phone.
This system uses a GPS modem and microcontroller interfaced with a GSM modem to track vehicles. The GPS retrieves location data in terms of longitude and latitude, which is sent to the microcontroller and transmitted via SMS to concerned authorities on periodic intervals set by the user. The location data is displayed on an LCD screen before being sent. The system allows transport companies to track vehicles and could be enhanced to remotely stop ignition in theft situations.

This document summarizes six techniques for optimizing cache performance by reducing the average memory access time. The techniques are organized into three categories: reducing miss rate through larger block/cache sizes and higher associativity, reducing miss penalty through multilevel caches and prioritizing reads over writes, and reducing hit time by avoiding address translation during cache indexing. Prioritizing reads allows read misses to continue while writes are buffered, checking for conflicts. Avoiding translation during indexing involves using the page offset to directly index the cache set or indexing the cache virtually with limitations like page coloring to prevent aliasing.
This document summarizes memory types and hierarchy. It discusses how memory can be categorized based on speed into cache, main, secondary and archival memory. It describes addressing modes like direct, register and indexed addressing. It also explains memory organization techniques like bit-slicing and segmentation.

This document summarizes key topics about memory hierarchy design, including:
1) It explains why caches work due to the principle of locality, where programs tend to access a small portion of memory addresses at a time, exhibiting both temporal and spatial locality.
2) It describes the different levels of a memory hierarchy from fastest/smallest (registers and caches) to slowest/largest (main memory and disk). Caches aim to bridge the speed gap between fast processors and slower main memory.
3) The performance of a memory hierarchy is characterized by average memory access time (AMAT), which is affected by hit time, miss rate, and miss penalty. Multi-level caches can reduce miss penalties and improve A
- A key objective of computer systems is achieving high performance at low cost, measured by price/performance ratio.
- Processor performance depends on how fast instructions can be fetched from memory and executed.
- Caches improve performance by storing recently accessed data from main memory closer to the processor, reducing access time compared to main memory. This can increase hit rates but requires managing cache misses and write policies.
Cache is a small, fast memory located close to the CPU that stores frequently accessed data from main memory. It reduces access time by storing instructions and data locally. There are separate instruction and data caches. A cache hit occurs when data is found in cache, while a cache miss requires loading data from main memory, increasing access time. Caches are organized into lines and sets, and use policies like LRU for replacing data on a miss. The hit rate and miss penalty determine average memory access time.
This document discusses memory hierarchy design and optimization. It describes the different levels of memory from fastest to slowest as registers, cache, main memory, disk storage, and back storage. The goal of the memory hierarchy is to provide fast memory access at a low cost per byte. It explains principles like locality of reference, cache block structure, hit/miss rates, and causes of cache misses. Basic optimizations discussed include increasing block size, cache size, associativity, and using multiple cache levels to reduce miss rates and penalties. Address translation through virtual memory and the translation lookaside buffer are also summarized.

One of the key problems today is that politics is such a disgrace, good people don't go into government.
The Love For other.......
There are four types of lies characterized by color: gray, black, red, and white. Gray lies partly help oneself and others, varying in the balance of help vs. harm. Black lies are selfish with others gaining nothing and the sole purpose being to help oneself. The worst black lies harm others greatly while helping oneself little. Red lies are meant to harm others through spite and revenge, even at the expense of harming oneself.

Why Psychological Safety Matters for Software Teams - ACE 2024 - Ben Linders.pdfBen Linders
Psychological safety in teams is important; team members must feel safe and able to communicate and collaborate effectively to deliver value. It’s also necessary to build long-lasting teams since things will happen and relationships will be strained.
But, how safe is a team? How can we determine if there are any factors that make the team unsafe or have an impact on the team’s culture?
In this mini-workshop, we’ll play games for psychological safety and team culture utilizing a deck of coaching cards, The Psychological Safety Cards. We will learn how to use gamification to gain a better understanding of what’s going on in teams. Individuals share what they have learned from working in teams, what has impacted the team’s safety and culture, and what has led to positive change.
Different game formats will be played in groups in parallel. Examples are an ice-breaker to get people talking about psychological safety, a constellation where people take positions about aspects of psychological safety in their team or organization, and collaborative card games where people work together to create an environment that fosters psychological safety.

Carrer goals.pptx and their importance in real lifeartemacademy2
Career goals serve as a roadmap for individuals, guiding them toward achieving long-term professional aspirations and personal fulfillment. Establishing clear career goals enables professionals to focus their efforts on developing specific skills, gaining relevant experience, and making strategic decisions that align with their desired career trajectory. By setting both short-term and long-term objectives, individuals can systematically track their progress, make necessary adjustments, and stay motivated. Short-term goals often include acquiring new qualifications, mastering particular competencies, or securing a specific role, while long-term goals might encompass reaching executive positions, becoming industry experts, or launching entrepreneurial ventures.
Moreover, having well-defined career goals fosters a sense of purpose and direction, enhancing job satisfaction and overall productivity. It encourages continuous learning and adaptation, as professionals remain attuned to industry trends and evolving job market demands. Career goals also facilitate better time management and resource allocation, as individuals prioritize tasks and opportunities that advance their professional growth. In addition, articulating career goals can aid in networking and mentorship, as it allows individuals to communicate their aspirations clearly to potential mentors, colleagues, and employers, thereby opening doors to valuable guidance and support. Ultimately, career goals are integral to personal and professional development, driving individuals toward sustained success and fulfillment in their chosen fields.

Suzanne Lagerweij - Influence Without Power - Why Empathy is Your Best Friend...Suzanne Lagerweij
This is a workshop about communication and collaboration. We will experience how we can analyze the reasons for resistance to change (exercise 1) and practice how to improve our conversation style and be more in control and effective in the way we communicate (exercise 2).
This session will use Dave Gray’s Empathy Mapping, Argyris’ Ladder of Inference and The Four Rs from Agile Conversations (Squirrel and Fredrick).
Abstract:
Let’s talk about powerful conversations! We all know how to lead a constructive conversation, right? Then why is it so difficult to have those conversations with people at work, especially those in powerful positions that show resistance to change?
Learning to control and direct conversations takes understanding and practice.
We can combine our innate empathy with our analytical skills to gain a deeper understanding of complex situations at work. Join this session to learn how to prepare for difficult conversations and how to improve our agile conversations in order to be more influential without power. We will use Dave Gray’s Empathy Mapping, Argyris’ Ladder of Inference and The Four Rs from Agile Conversations (Squirrel and Fredrick).
In the session you will experience how preparing and reflecting on your conversation can help you be more influential at work. You will learn how to communicate more effectively with the people needed to achieve positive change. You will leave with a self-revised version of a difficult conversation and a practical model to use when you get back to work.
Come learn more on how to become a real influencer!

“DNEIRF” Concept from the curriculum: Social Star
FRIEND or DNEIRF ??
Many people can be a FRIEND. A FRIEND would be
someone who ……
• Is kind and respectful to you
• Shares interests with you
• Spends time doing fun things with you
• Looks forward to talking with you
• Cares for your feelings
BUT!!!! Sometimes a FRIEND is disguised as a…
DNEIRF !!
A DNEIRF is a person who pretends to be your friend. Notice
that the word DNEIRF is the word FRIEND spelled backwards.
You might really feel like they are your friend, but they
are not. DNEIRFs are backwards friends – they are
only being your friend because they want something from
you. Maybe they are pretending to like you so they can
play your new X Box 360. Or, maybe they are pretending
to be your friend because your family has a big swimming
pool. Or, maybe someone only acts like your friend
when you bring your Yu-Gi-Oh cards to school.
Watch out for DNEIRF people. If you are not sure if
someone is being a DNEIRF, think about these questions:
1. Does this person talk to me in many different situations?
2. Does this person share their things with me?
3. Does this person seem to care for my feelings?
4. Does this person treat me with respect?
If you are still not sure, talk to an adult. An adult can
usually spot a DNEIRF right away! The key to finding out if
someone is really a DNEIRF is to consider if their actions
match what they are intending or thinking about you. Use
Talking and Thinking bubbles while talking to an adult – this is
one way to figure out if someone’s actions and intensions match!
So…DUMP those DNEIRFs
and look for REAL and true, FRIENDS!
