Demand is defined as the quantity of a good or service that consumers are willing and able to purchase at a given price over a set period of time. Demand is determined by factors such as price, income, tastes, the price of related goods, and expectations about future prices. Demand can be expressed as a demand schedule, a demand curve, or a demand function that shows the quantity demanded at each price point when other determinants are held constant. The law of demand states that, all else equal, quantity demanded varies inversely with price.

Analyzing problems with transactions on z/OS can feel like measuring a strand of cotton when your starting point is a shirt: you need to dissect individual aspects of the transaction without losing the overall picture of how they fit together. That means knowing where and how to get logs for various subsystems, relating these logs together, and finally interpreting the combined output.
IBM Transaction Analysis Workbench for z/OS is a tool that provides a coherent picture of a transaction across subsystems - including IMS, DB2, CICS, WebSphere MQ, and z/OS itself - helping you to pinpoint the source of problems. We demonstrate a step-by-step proof-of-concept model for visually interacting with composite log data to help identify and resolve problems involving multiple subsystems.
Transactional analysis (TA) is a theory of personality and communication developed by Eric Berne in the 1950s. TA analyzes personal interactions in terms of three ego states - parent, adult, and child. The parent ego teaches, the adult ego thinks, and the child ego feels. TA is used in psychotherapy to diagnose psychological disorders and in counseling, management training, and communications training. Effective interactions come from healthy ego states that communicate positive messages, while ineffective ones stem from negative ego states that send harmful messages.
Transactional analysis was founded by Eric Berne in the late 1950s. It is effectively a language within a language that helps understand communication patterns between people. There are three ego states - Parent, Adult, and Child - that represent different thought and behavior patterns. Effective communication occurs through complementary transactions when different ego states respond appropriately to each other. Ineffective communication happens through crossed or ulterior transactions when unexpected responses activate inappropriate ego states. Modern transactional analysis expanded the model to seven elements to better analyze interpersonal dynamics.
This document discusses double entry bookkeeping, which is a method of financial record keeping where every transaction is recorded in at least two different accounts. It maintains the accounting equation that assets must equal liabilities plus owner's equity, so total debits equal total credits. The document provides references for further reading on the double entry system and accounting principles.
The document outlines a formula for real estate agent success in 2015 that involves focusing on relationship building and daily activities to increase visibility and interactions with clients and potential clients. It recommends agents perform 7 simple daily and weekly activities, like writing personal notes, focusing on contact lists divided into those ready to buy/sell and those who may buy/sell, and conducting real estate reviews and interviews. Implementing these low-effort high-impact activities consistently is presented as a path to higher income through more transactions.

Accounting involves recording financial transactions, classifying and summarizing them, then analyzing, interpreting, and communicating the information to users. It is defined as the process of identifying, measuring, and communicating economic information to allow for informed judgments and decisions. The accounting process includes recording transactions, classifying them, summarizing, analyzing and interpreting, then communicating the results. Bookkeeping records transactions at a basic level, while accounting provides summarized and analyzed information for decision making.

Essentials of Automations: Exploring Attributes & Automation ParametersSafe Software
Building automations in FME Flow can save time, money, and help businesses scale by eliminating data silos and providing data to stakeholders in real-time. One essential component to orchestrating complex automations is the use of attributes & automation parameters (both formerly known as “keys”). In fact, it’s unlikely you’ll ever build an Automation without using these components, but what exactly are they?
Attributes & automation parameters enable the automation author to pass data values from one automation component to the next. During this webinar, our FME Flow Specialists will cover leveraging the three types of these output attributes & parameters in FME Flow: Event, Custom, and Automation. As a bonus, they’ll also be making use of the Split-Merge Block functionality.
You’ll leave this webinar with a better understanding of how to maximize the potential of automations by making use of attributes & automation parameters, with the ultimate goal of setting your enterprise integration workflows up on autopilot.

The typical problem in product engineering is not bad strategy, so much as “no strategy”. This leads to confusion, lack of motivation, and incoherent action. The next time you look for a strategy and find an empty space, instead of waiting for it to be filled, I will show you how to fill it in yourself. If you’re wrong, it forces a correction. If you’re right, it helps create focus. I’ll share how I’ve approached this in the past, both what works and lessons for what didn’t work so well.
"Scaling RAG Applications to serve millions of users", Kevin GoedeckeFwdays
How we managed to grow and scale a RAG application from zero to thousands of users in 7 months. Lessons from technical challenges around managing high load for LLMs, RAGs and Vector databases.
How information systems are built or acquired puts information, which is what they should be about, in a secondary place. Our language adapted accordingly, and we no longer talk about information systems but applications. Applications evolved in a way to break data into diverse fragments, tightly coupled with applications and expensive to integrate. The result is technical debt, which is re-paid by taking even bigger "loans", resulting in an ever-increasing technical debt. Software engineering and procurement practices work in sync with market forces to maintain this trend. This talk demonstrates how natural this situation is. The question is: can something be done to reverse the trend?

Lee Barnes - Path to Becoming an Effective Test Automation Engineer.pdfleebarnesutopia
So… you want to become a Test Automation Engineer (or hire and develop one)? While there’s quite a bit of information available about important technical and tool skills to master, there’s not enough discussion around the path to becoming an effective Test Automation Engineer that knows how to add VALUE. In my experience this had led to a proliferation of engineers who are proficient with tools and building frameworks but have skill and knowledge gaps, especially in software testing, that reduce the value they deliver with test automation.
In this talk, Lee will share his lessons learned from over 30 years of working with, and mentoring, hundreds of Test Automation Engineers. Whether you’re looking to get started in test automation or just want to improve your trade, this talk will give you a solid foundation and roadmap for ensuring your test automation efforts continuously add value. This talk is equally valuable for both aspiring Test Automation Engineers and those managing them! All attendees will take away a set of key foundational knowledge and a high-level learning path for leveling up test automation skills and ensuring they add value to their organizations.
In the realm of cybersecurity, offensive security practices act as a critical shield. By simulating real-world attacks in a controlled environment, these techniques expose vulnerabilities before malicious actors can exploit them. This proactive approach allows manufacturers to identify and fix weaknesses, significantly enhancing system security.
This presentation delves into the development of a system designed to mimic Galileo's Open Service signal using software-defined radio (SDR) technology. We'll begin with a foundational overview of both Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) and the intricacies of digital signal processing.
The presentation culminates in a live demonstration. We'll showcase the manipulation of Galileo's Open Service pilot signal, simulating an attack on various software and hardware systems. This practical demonstration serves to highlight the potential consequences of unaddressed vulnerabilities, emphasizing the importance of offensive security practices in safeguarding critical infrastructure.
