A bonsai is an artistic representation of a mature tree that suggests a scene in nature. A bonsai asks the viewer to see beyond the physical plant to a world beyond. Any woody plant material (tree, vine, shrub or herb) can be used to produce a tree-like shape by means of selective pruning. In this slide,you will be able to understand about bonsai and their different types and their symbolic representation.Moreover,you will learn to prepare bonsai tree.

Preservation of drying
ChatGPT
Preservation of drying typically involves storing dried food or materials in a way that prevents moisture from re-entering and spoiling them. Here are some general tips:
Airtight Containers: Store dried items like food, herbs, or seeds in airtight containers to prevent moisture and air from getting in. Mason jars or vacuum-sealed bags work well.
Cool, Dark Place: Keep the containers in a cool, dark place to avoid exposure to heat and light, which can degrade the quality of the dried items.
Desiccants: Use desiccants like silica gel packets to absorb any residual moisture inside the containers.
Labeling: Clearly label containers with the date of drying and the contents to help with organization and tracking freshness.
Vacuum Sealing: Consider vacuum-sealing equipment for long-term preservation, as it removes air and seals items tightly.
Humidity Control: If you live in a humid environment, consider using moisture-absorbing products or a dehumidifier in the storage area.
Regular Inspection: Periodically check stored items for signs of moisture or spoilage and replace any compromised containers.
By following these tips, you can extend the shelf life of dried items and ensure they remain in good condition.

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.

Connector Corner: Automate dynamic content and events by pushing a buttonDianaGray10
Here is something new! In our next Connector Corner webinar, we will demonstrate how you can use a single workflow to:
Create a campaign using Mailchimp with merge tags/fields
Send an interactive Slack channel message (using buttons)
Have the message received by managers and peers along with a test email for review
But there’s more:
In a second workflow supporting the same use case, you’ll see:
Your campaign sent to target colleagues for approval
If the “Approve” button is clicked, a Jira/Zendesk ticket is created for the marketing design team
But—if the “Reject” button is pushed, colleagues will be alerted via Slack message
Join us to learn more about this new, human-in-the-loop capability, brought to you by Integration Service connectors.

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.
Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*

• Blotchy, necrotic
lesions.
• Normally not serious.
• Outbreaks dependent
on spring weather

27. Anthracnose
• Life cycle:
– fungus overwinters on
leaves that fall to the
ground in autumn.

– Dry spring weather is a natural control
– Prune out diseased branches, disinfecting
pruning tools between each cut.

unsatisfactory
44. Bacterial wetwood
• No effective methods exist to eliminate
wetwood disease. Preventing damage and
stress to a tree's roots and stem is the best
way to avoid a serious wetwood problem.
Drought conditions increase wetwood
problems, so it is important that the tree
receives adequate water, especially during
spring and summer months.
