This document provides a summary of several topics in big history including:
- How navigation techniques evolved in the 15th century allowing for global exploration.
- Spencer Wells' genetic research tracing human migration patterns out of Africa around 60,000 years ago along male Y chromosomes.

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.
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.

Kubernetes & AI - Beauty and the Beast !?! @KCD Istanbul 2024Tobias Schneck
As AI technology is pushing into IT I was wondering myself, as an “infrastructure container kubernetes guy”, how get this fancy AI technology get managed from an infrastructure operational view? Is it possible to apply our lovely cloud native principals as well? What benefit’s both technologies could bring to each other?
Let me take this questions and provide you a short journey through existing deployment models and use cases for AI software. On practical examples, we discuss what cloud/on-premise strategy we may need for applying it to our own infrastructure to get it to work from an enterprise perspective. I want to give an overview about infrastructure requirements and technologies, what could be beneficial or limiting your AI use cases in an enterprise environment. An interactive Demo will give you some insides, what approaches I got already working for real.

History 140 power point
1. Big History By: Brianna Filips Online Class History 140 71183
2. The Day the Universe Changed During 1420’s there was a new way of painting to navigate the ships 15th century memorized our way of thinking poetry and songs. The people back then hand crafted practically everything In 1844 computers were inventors Greece helped us Tallies became very important, they figured out with nature they can go to different places across the world, like Egypt and figure out they can use shapes like a pyramid and create geometry. The more of the same rules being broken the harder the institutions are. This is important because they keep our world together, total order.
3. Journey of Man Spencer Wells was a geneticist & anthropologist The geographic project undertaken by National geographic society. By studying humankind’s family tree “Wells” hopes to close the gapes in the knowledge of humankind migration. Wells believed that “Adam” male line, by a piece of DNA- Y chromosome that leads to everyone alive today. He lived in Africa, ( Adam) Y chromosome tracks down to the eastern or southern Africa 60,000 years ago. Chromosomes are the link to our ancestors There trying to trace anything due to cause of ice age/ sea level.
4. (Continued) Coffee- People ask many questions to lead us how we are today. 1800 C.E. people didn’t drink Coffee Ethiopians first coffee drinkers Turkish, arbes, and Muslims adopt coffee drinking The Dutch east Indian company wanted a trade Sugar came with coffee and then slavery came
5. Catastrophe David Keys- 1500 years ago the sun went out Trees tell history within the rings on the tree. Around the 6th century the rings on the trees became very narrow There was 18 months of no sun Volcano, asteroid, or a comet could of caused this catastrophe.
6. (Continue) When these objects hit the earth like this they cause particles to be released in the atmosphere 6th century there saying they have no evidence of an asteroid. Between the two islands: Java & Sumatra indicated by ronlosetta, the worlds most notorious volcano, southeast Asia Plague originated in Africa
7. Guns Germs & Steel Out of Eden- Jarad Diamound: Teacher at UCLA, Biologist by training; specialist in human physiology. New Guines people have many living on this island for 40,000 years more than all the continents of North & South America. Cargo- material used & brought from the west Hunting was never enough food for there tribe Middle Eastern people were he 1st famers in the world China Developed rice
8. (Continue) U.S. corn squash, beans Africa- Yams New Guinea was lacking protein & found goats to get there milk They used plows to develop better crops & they would use animals like horses New Guinean's never grew better technology because they were too busy growing crops New Guinean’s had less cargo Vs. whites was geography & that results to technology. Nov 1532 168 Spaniards attacked imperial army of the Incas highlands of Peru. 7,000 people were killed Gun powder- china Use of weapon- aribs The use of writing was very important with the Spaniards A disease broke out to America mainland, small pox infected thousands of people. Guns, Germs, and Steel re-shaped our world to what it is today. The European disease wiped out 95% of Americans pre-Columbian population.
9. The World in 1492 & Columbus world 1492 Columbus sailed the ocean blue Born 1451 Known as the man of mystery When he became a teenager he was looking for work near the seas for trade Groups of islands in Asia who had grown: pepper, nutmeg. Used for medicines mostly Japan- lots of gold- mostly gold leaf on the ceilings China- became the richest umpire in the world
10. The European Voyage & how the world changes China invented paper & even gun powder which was produced in the 11th century Silk was produced, which was very important for them to look beautiful Europeans were taking over trade Egypt sold a lot of spices Muslims were making good money from gold and Europeans made trade with them a lot.
