Oak Island Mystery
A boy named Daniel McGinnis discovered a mysterious site on Oak Island that sparked interest from others trying to decipher codes and solve its secrets. Various attempts to excavate and explore the island led to tragedies and no clear answers about what is hidden there. Theories range from buried pirate treasure to the resting place of a Viking warlord, but the island continues to keep its secrets hidden despite ongoing searches for clues.
Dibyajyoti Pradhan - Cricket History
Cricket originated in southeast England in the 16th century. The world's first cricket club was formed in 1760 in Hambledon and the Marylebone Cricket Club was founded in 1787. During this time, pitching the ball through the air rather than rolling it became common. William Gilbert Grace made important contributions to developing cricket in the 19th century and is considered one of the greatest players. The first one day international cricket match took place in 1971 between Australia and England.
The history of cricket
The sport of cricket has a known history, beginning in the 16th century. The game originated in England, among shepherds using their crooks as bats, and the earliest wickets may well have been narrow sheep pens. The earliest men’s games that were officially recorded (from law court records) were played in southeast England in the 1550s. Initially a single wicket was used, as it still is in ancient games like stoolball that continue to be played in southern England.
The Mystery of Oak Island
The document describes the mystery of Oak Island, located off the coast of Nova Scotia, Canada. In 1795, three boys discovered a mysterious pit on the island that others have tried, but failed, to fully excavate. Various attempts over the centuries have uncovered artifacts and evidence of tunnels and booby traps, but the source of the pit and its purpose remain unknown. Several theories have emerged about buried treasure or historical documents, but the mystery remains unsolved.
The vikings
The Vikings originated from Scandinavia and during the Viking Age from around 700-1100 AD, they traveled to places like Britain and Ireland for both war and trade. Some Vikings raided and stole treasures from places like monasteries, while others settled in new lands as farmers or merchants. In 793, Norse Vikings attacked the Christian monastery at Lindisfarne in England, looting treasures and killing monks, shocking the local population. Over the centuries, there were many battles as the Vikings fought English kings for control of English lands, with the last Viking king of York being deposed in 954 after his death in battle.
Amerigo vespucci
Amerigo Vespucci was an Italian explorer born in 1454 who explored the New World and concluded that it was a separate continent from Asia. He was inspired by Christopher Columbus but made several voyages of his own and his name came to be used for the Americas after the cartographer Martin Waldseemüller named the lands after him. Vespucci is argued to deserve the title of Explorer of the Year for his important contributions to geographical knowledge.
Royal Spanish Golf Federation
The Royal Spanish Golf Federation is the national governing body for golf in Spain. It is a private, non-profit association based in Madrid that organizes state-level competitions and promotes golf across Spain through regional federations. It also handles sports discipline in accordance with Spanish law and its statutes. Golf first emerged in Scotland in the 15th century and spread across Europe in the following centuries. The first Spanish golf club was established in 1891 in Las Palmas.
Middle Ages
Society in the Middle Ages was divided into three estates - those who fought, those who prayed, and those who worked. The social hierarchy was rigid, with the king and lords having authority over knights and peasants. Children learned trades like crafting or farming from a young age. Boys from noble families trained to become knights, learning combat and horseback riding. Castles provided protection for lords, with fortified walls, towers, and moats. Conditions within castles, while luxurious for the nobility, lacked modern sanitation and contributed to disease spread. Entertainment included tournaments, hunting, and religious festivals.

Indian games that have survived through centuries!
Games have been the favoured choice of royals as well as commoners. This leisure pursuit has not been restricted to kids only, but adults have also been engaging in games.
The history of_cricket
Cricket likely originated in medieval England as a children's game in the Weald region. The earliest definite reference is from 1598 in Surrey. Over subsequent centuries, the basic rules developed and it spread throughout the British Empire and other parts of the world. The game faced some crises due to wars but survived. In the late 19th/early 20th century, it developed into an international sport with the first international matches and establishment of national competitions and teams. Apartheid in South Africa and commercialization caused some issues but also innovations. Limited overs cricket grew in popularity in the latter 20th century.

While Captain Cook is often credited with discovering Australia, this document argues that the Portuguese actually discovered Australia in the 1540s, as evidenced by a map from that time period showing Australia. However, the Portuguese kept this discovery secret for strategic reasons and the building housing maps of Australia was later destroyed, so Captain Cook's discovery was more widely publicized, even though he was not the first European to find Australia.

Has Noah's Ark Been Found At Last - June 2010 -.pdf
This document summarizes an interview between Gary Stearman and Arch Bonnema about Arch Bonnema's discovery of artifacts from Noah's Ark. According to Arch Bonnema, he retrieved samples of petrified wood from 13,126 feet atop Mount Suleiman in Iran, which five laboratories concluded came from an ancient ship. Most compelling was a piece of petrified animal waste containing DNA from animals on different continents. Arch Bonnema believes this provides evidence that the artifacts are from Noah's Ark. He argues the traditional site of Noah's Ark on Mount Ararat in Turkey does not match the biblical description, which says the ark landed in the "mountains of Ararat," not a single mountain.

Dandelion Hashtable: beyond billion requests per second on a commodity server
This slide deck presents DLHT, a concurrent in-memory hashtable. Despite efforts to optimize hashtables, that go as far as sacrificing core functionality, state-of-the-art designs still incur multiple memory accesses per request and block request processing in three cases. First, most hashtables block while waiting for data to be retrieved from memory. Second, open-addressing designs, which represent the current state-of-the-art, either cannot free index slots on deletes or must block all requests to do so. Third, index resizes block every request until all objects are copied to the new index. Defying folklore wisdom, DLHT forgoes open-addressing and adopts a fully-featured and memory-aware closed-addressing design based on bounded cache-line-chaining. This design offers lock-free index operations and deletes that free slots instantly, (2) completes most requests with a single memory access, (3) utilizes software prefetching to hide memory latencies, and (4) employs a novel non-blocking and parallel resizing. In a commodity server and a memory-resident workload, DLHT surpasses 1.6B requests per second and provides 3.5x (12x) the throughput of the state-of-the-art closed-addressing (open-addressing) resizable hashtable on Gets (Deletes).

Essentials of Automations: Exploring Attributes & Automation Parameters
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.

Mutation Testing for Task-Oriented Chatbots
Conversational agents, or chatbots, are increasingly used to access all sorts of services using natural language. While open-domain chatbots - like ChatGPT - can converse on any topic, task-oriented chatbots - the focus of this paper - are designed for specific tasks, like booking a flight, obtaining customer support, or setting an appointment. Like any other software, task-oriented chatbots need to be properly tested, usually by defining and executing test scenarios (i.e., sequences of user-chatbot interactions). However, there is currently a lack of methods to quantify the completeness and strength of such test scenarios, which can lead to low-quality tests, and hence to buggy chatbots.
To fill this gap, we propose adapting mutation testing (MuT) for task-oriented chatbots. To this end, we introduce a set of mutation operators that emulate faults in chatbot designs, an architecture that enables MuT on chatbots built using heterogeneous technologies, and a practical realisation as an Eclipse plugin. Moreover, we evaluate the applicability, effectiveness and efficiency of our approach on open-source chatbots, with promising results.

From Natural Language to Structured Solr Queries using LLMs
This talk draws on experimentation to enable AI applications with Solr. One important use case is to use AI for better accessibility and discoverability of the data: while User eXperience techniques, lexical search improvements, and data harmonization can take organizations to a good level of accessibility, a structural (or “cognitive” gap) remains between the data user needs and the data producer constraints.
That is where AI – and most importantly, Natural Language Processing and Large Language Model techniques – could make a difference. This natural language, conversational engine could facilitate access and usage of the data leveraging the semantics of any data source.
The objective of the presentation is to propose a technical approach and a way forward to achieve this goal.
The key concept is to enable users to express their search queries in natural language, which the LLM then enriches, interprets, and translates into structured queries based on the Solr index’s metadata.
This approach leverages the LLM’s ability to understand the nuances of natural language and the structure of documents within Apache Solr.
The LLM acts as an intermediary agent, offering a transparent experience to users automatically and potentially uncovering relevant documents that conventional search methods might overlook. The presentation will include the results of this experimental work, lessons learned, best practices, and the scope of future work that should improve the approach and make it production-ready.
