The document provides tips for creating impactful presentations. It discusses starting with the end goal in mind, knowing the audience as the hero, keeping content simple through stories and analogies, designing within cognitive limits with landmarks and one idea per slide, and practicing delivery with eye contact and being the presenter not the PowerPoint. The key takeaways are to know your audience, keep the design simple, and practice effectively delivering the presentation.
The document provides rules for a taboo game where players must describe pictures or topics to each other without saying restricted words listed for each item. There are over 20 items listed with 3-5 words each that players cannot say when describing that particular topic. The goal is to have players convey the topic using only words not on the taboo list to avoid losing points.
This document discusses five "ugly truths" about scaling agile practices in organizations: 1) Even simple terms like epics and stories can have different meanings between teams; 2) Top-down and bottom-up transformations both face challenges; 3) There is a "glass ceiling" that limits how far agile practices can scale; 4) System optimization across teams is harder than local optimization of individual teams; 5) Many teams do not want their practices to scale since it reduces autonomy and increases transparency/accountability. The document provides suggestions, or "secret weapons," for addressing each of these truths, such as using communities of practice, piloting approaches, and focusing on organizational culture change.

This document provides 9 steps to improve public speaking and presenting research effectively. The steps are: 1) Consider the risks of poor presenting; 2) Think about the key points and audience; 3) Feel emotions to engage the audience; 4) Explore alternative presentation methods; 5) Integrate relevant images, limit words, and time slides; 6) Rehearse thoroughly; 7) Impress the audience with energy and interaction; 8) Reflect on feedback; and 9) Act to put the research to good use through quality presentations. The overall goal is to get research put to practical use and have a positive impact through improved presenting skills.
This document discusses using tabletop roleplaying games (TTRPGs) to improve traditional tabletop exercises (TTXs) for security training. TTRPGs are more engaging than TTXs as they encourage creative problem-solving and novel solutions through an immersive fictional scenario. Examples show how TTRPG mechanics like character classes and crisis scenarios can address common issues in TTXs like lack of participation and engagement. The document argues TTRPGs promote better information retention than stressful compliance-focused TTXs and provides resources for incorporating TTRPG elements into security exercises.
The document discusses various unexplained mysteries and provides resources for students to research them. It mentions Flight 19, a 1945 flight of 5 US Navy TBM Avenger torpedo bombers that disappeared over the Bermuda Triangle, and the Loch Ness Monster, an alleged creature living in Loch Ness in Scotland. Students are instructed to work in groups to research the mysteries, choose one to write a possible explanation for or describe another mystery they find information on.

This document discusses using massively multiplayer online (MMO) gaming platforms for open access and education. It references theorists who have explored open access and the learning benefits of games. The document describes observations of several MMO games like Final Fantasy XIV and World of Warcraft where collaboration, communication, and helping others are key aspects. It proposes that MMO gaming platforms could support online learning communities through features that amplify input and foster a sense of identity and decision-making. However, challenges include the potential for toxicity amongst novice players. Moving forward, the document suggests building a "kinder curation" of gaming communities for education and presenting research findings through a webinar or film.
The document discusses common mistakes made when using PowerPoint presentations. It lists putting too many words on slides, spelling errors, excessive use of bullet points, and poor color scheme choices as common issues. It also analyzes different fonts and how they may be perceived, noting that Courier New conveys organization while Times New Roman can seem lazy. Overall, the document provides tips to avoid common PowerPoint mistakes and improve presentation design and delivery.

The trailer for the film Insidious uses various camera shots and editing techniques to build tension and scare the audience. It opens with a close-up of one of the main characters to introduce the storyline. Throughout, it cuts between long shots that set the family home setting and close-ups of the characters' fearful faces to show something is frightening them. The editing towards the end significantly speeds up, using extreme close-ups paired with dramatic music, to maximally build tension and scare viewers ahead of the film's release.

Networking is a critical part of your own professional development. Building a network of quality connections supports you in diversifying your skills and experience, providing new opportunities, building your support group of trusted peers and colleagues, growing yourself within your organisation and much more.
But how can you master this part of your life? It might not be something you find easy, or you may find you build a network but don’t maximise the potential that building the network brings.
How do you network with professionals and do you maximise the potential of this unsung art? In this event we delve into the human and structural ways of taking networking to the next level.
We explain concepts such as sleep-wake chronotypes and what that means when you have an after-work function. Based on this knowledge, you will be provided tips on how to prepare yourself to optimise your networking encounters.
Be Amazing: 5 Rules for Great Presentationsjcasimir
We all need to communicate ideas and, for business purposes, the ability to run a successful presentation is essential. In this session we discuss five rules to help guide your planning and delivery.
CCFLT2011: integrating technology to enhance communication in the three modesToni Theisen
The document discusses integrating technology to enhance the three modes of communication in language learning: interpretive, interpersonal, and presentational. It provides examples of different technologies that can be used for each mode and guidelines for effective technology integration. Key topics covered include the shift to a student-centered focus on learning, the three stages of backward design, and ACTFL's integrated performance assessment.
This document provides guidance on audio journalism techniques. It discusses using interviews, voiceovers, natural sounds, and imported sounds/music to tell compelling audio stories. Key elements include establishing rapport in interviews, choosing quiet locations with good acoustics for recording, understanding audio levels, and recognizing limitations to rely less on post-production fixes. The document stresses narrowing your focus to a clear driving question that leads listeners through a story with a beginning, middle and end. Brainstorming questions, exploring possible angles, and identifying essential audio elements are emphasized for effective audio storytelling.
The document discusses several key factors for predicting successful startups and companies. The three most important factors are the market, team, and execution. A great market is underserved, growing, and highly fragmented. A great team is hungry, passionate, and has domain expertise. Great execution involves bold ideas, a culture of innovation, quick iteration, listening, and repeating successes. The document also discusses reasons why startups may fail such as a bad idea, poor execution, or outside factors like competitors or disruptive technologies.

In UX, we seem obsessed with making digital experiences slick and seamless. We want to meet and exceed expectations at all costs. We want to remove all barriers to action and make it impossible to fail. We care about usability and conversions, but very little about thoughtful engagement.
In this workshop, I look at when and how to encourage a little thoughtfulness (or Meta-Moment) in our users. We learn how to deploy roadblocks (to set challenges), speed-bumps (to change pace) and diversions (to defy expectation). We try these techniques out and see firsthand how they can be used to foster more attentive and more memorable experiences.
Andrew Grimes is a Principal UX Consultant at Nomensa. He’s an experienced UX lead, with a Philosophy MA. He recently published an article on A List Apart: Meta Moments, on the subject of Meta-Moments which provides the basis for this workshop.

The document provides guidance on public speaking and presentations. It discusses making presentations as simple as possible without oversimplifying. It also covers skills, equipment, attitude, physical and intellectual preparation, and contextual factors like volume, size, font, jargon, and references. The document emphasizes beginning from the audience's perspective and focusing on conveying key points through an organized flow.
Tina Lambert, Vice President of the Virginia Society of Certified Public Accountants (VSCPA), gave a presentation on effective presentation techniques. She covered goals of successful presentations such as organization, openings and closings, and handling questions and answers. Lambert discussed techniques like using the "triangle of persuasion" focusing on verbal, vocal, and visual delivery, being well prepared with a two minute talking memo, and learning secrets from top business communicators. She emphasized the importance of closing strongly and being an ambassador representing the VSCPA.
The document provides tips and lessons learned from attending SXSW. Some key points include:
1) Plan meetings with potential contacts before attending to get the most out of networking opportunities. Follow up after to continue conversations.
2) SXSW is like speed dating - focus on learning from and contributing to discussions with new acquaintances.
3) Collect business cards and follow up on discussions while impressions are still fresh to maximize networking benefits.
The document offers advice for effectively leveraging the SXSW conference environment to make new connections and further existing relationships.

Here are 3 reading comprehension questions for you to answer on your own:
1. Passage: Most people enjoy spending time outside on nice days. Activities like going to the park, beach, or hiking trails allow individuals to experience nature and get fresh air and exercise.
Question: What is this passage mostly about?
2. Passage: John was excited to go camping for the weekend. He packed his tent, sleeping bag, flashlight, and other essential gear. After a few hours of driving, he arrived at the campsite in the woods by the lake. It was getting dark, so he set up his tent and started a small campfire.
Question: Where did John go camping?

'Sound-bites' are the useful takeaways or narrative fragments from conversations and presentations. When we only hear the 'sound-bites', we lose valuable information and will end up with poor outcomes.
This session will explore the typical reactions that we get to our 'sound-bite' rallying cries like 'Celebrate Failure'. The reactions vary from the hoped for enthusiastic embrace all the way to disappointing disengagement...where our colleagues treat us as foolish for suggesting such a thing could be good in their workplace. These reactions are what we leave behind and the enthusiastic embrace can be just as harmful as the disappointing disengagement – in some ways the former is more dangerous and we need to be careful that what we leave behind does not cause any damage.
We will unpack 'celebrate failure' and explain a healthier way to interpret the intention behind the 'sound-bite' as a means to explore boundaries in complex systems.
History shows us that people with the best intentions can be misunderstood and many years later treated as creators of our current woes, an example being The Principles of Scientific Management by F.W. Taylor. In 100 years, what will people think of Lean and Agile? If we take another look, we can see a pattern emerging where Scientific Management can identify Best Practices in the Obvious Domain, Systems Thinking applies nicely in the Complicated Domain and the concepts of probe, sense and respond allow us to explore complexity more effectively.
By using the modern 'Celebrate Failure' example and lessons from history, this session will remind us all to be careful with what we leave behind in every conversation.

It’s the blessing and the curse of the information age – a virtually endless stream of data that hurtles toward consumers and businesses like a firehose blasting a teacup.
How do you find what you need? How do you separate the good from the bad, and maybe most importantly, how can you – as a player in the game – practically leverage all this interconnected stuff to impact your business for the better?
Watch and hear and learn how to apply the fundamentals yourself in this brave, new world.
The document discusses building new ideas and businesses through fast learning cycles. It recommends establishing weekly innovation sprints over 10 weeks to generate new product ideas, with goals of 80 ideas total, killing 60, merging 10, and progressing 10. Each Monday would involve presenting key learnings and asking for help. Brainstorming sessions on Fridays would involve new external people. Death threats to ideas would be identified and systems put in place to work on threats and decide what to kill through daily stand-up meetings and rotating leadership. Repeating this process removes risks and allows businesses to scale once the foundations are solidified.

V2 open letter to michael stutchbury, editor in chief of the australian finan...alan jones
This document is an open letter signed by over 100 people from the technology and venture capital industry in Australia. It calls on the editor of the Australian Financial Review to stop an ongoing smear campaign conducted by one of its journalists, Joe Aston, against venture capitalist Elaine Stead. The letter notes that Stead successfully won a defamation case against Aston but he has continued attacking her reputation in columns. The signatories respect Stead as an effective investor and want her to be able to continue her career without harassment.
Open letter to Michael Stutchbury, Editor in Chief, Australian Financial Reviewalan jones
This open letter to the editor-in-chief of the Australian Financial Review requests that the newspaper stop an ongoing smear campaign by one of its journalists, Joe Aston, against venture capitalist Elaine Stead. The letter notes that Stead won a defamation case against Aston but he has continued attacking her in his columns. The signatories view Stead as an effective investor and want her to be able to continue her career without harassment now that the court has ruled in her favor. They are also concerned about the reputational impacts on the broader Australian tech venture capital industry.
The document is a satirical pitch deck that humorously exaggerates common startup pitch tropes:
It introduces a fictional customer problem and claims the presenter is a "master storyteller." Existing solutions are said to be lacking. The proposed solution utilizes numerous buzzwords. The market is claimed to be huge without evidence. Revenue conversion is promised to generate "more money than can be eaten." Customers are said to be unable to leave. Ambitious one-year goals are set without justification. Investment is solicited to achieve an exaggerated vision of the future, and contact details are provided to follow up.
You can try and pitch your seed round exactly the way your investors want you to (in which case you're compared fairly with hundreds of other investment opportunities) or you can hack your seed round and get an unfair advantage. Which would you rather do?
The document discusses lean entrepreneurial ideation and developing lean ideas. It begins with an agenda for the meeting which includes introductions, reviewing lean methodology, a lean case study, what makes an entrepreneurial idea, and homework. It then discusses what a lean entrepreneurial idea is by coming up with solutions quickly using minimal resources. A case study of Trippything is presented which developed a travel planning app in a lean way through quick design, testing, and learning rather than a traditional lengthy development process. The document emphasizes that ideas are not as important as execution and provides exercises to generate new ideas through modifying existing products or services. It concludes with discussing resources, inspiration for lean development, and assigning homework.

Miles Campbell and I launched Shhh at the IgniteSydney 2010 conference in July.
Shhh is born from the belief that there is meaningful experience to be discovered when a group of people share a space and are still and silent.
Many people miss out on meaningful reflective times that are created in silent ceremonies, because they don't share the history, beliefs, culture or practices that are associated with most rituals in modern society.
Anyone from any background is welcome to share the silent space created by Shhh with others, and be confident that they will not be expected to listen to, judge or defend anyone's views or beliefs.

Power Grid Model
The global energy transition is placing new and unprecedented demands on Distribution System Operators (DSOs). Alongside upgrades to grid capacity, processes such as digitization, capacity optimization, and congestion management are becoming vital for delivering reliable services.
Power Grid Model is an open source project from Linux Foundation Energy and provides a calculation engine that is increasingly essential for DSOs. It offers a standards-based foundation enabling real-time power systems analysis, simulations of electrical power grids, and sophisticated what-if analysis. In addition, it enables in-depth studies and analysis of the electrical power grid’s behavior and performance. This comprehensive model incorporates essential factors such as power generation capacity, electrical losses, voltage levels, power flows, and system stability.
Power Grid Model is currently being applied in a wide variety of use cases, including grid planning, expansion, reliability, and congestion studies. It can also help in analyzing the impact of renewable energy integration, assessing the effects of disturbances or faults, and developing strategies for grid control and optimization.
What to expect
For the upcoming meetup we are organizing, we have an exciting lineup of activities planned:
-Insightful presentations covering two practical applications of the Power Grid Model.
-An update on the latest advancements in Power Grid -Model technology during the first and second quarters of 2024.
-An interactive brainstorming session to discuss and propose new feature requests.
-An opportunity to connect with fellow Power Grid Model enthusiasts and users.
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.

Dandelion Hashtable: beyond billion requests per second on a commodity serverAntonios Katsarakis
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).
