All music educators recognize that supportive acoustical environments are critical to a successful performance. Performance spaces range from concert halls to large lobbies, from multi-use gymnasiums and cafetoriums to the outdoors. Whether you are fortunate enough to have an auditorium, or are rounding up stray basketballs before your rehearsal, chances are you have to perform in spaces that are less
than ideal. Wenger has developed this guide to show you options that will make these spaces more musically supportive.

Connector Corner: Automate dynamic content and events by pushing a buttonDianaGray10
Â
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.

State of ICS and IoT Cyber Threat Landscape Report 2024 previewPrayukth K V
Â
The IoT and OT threat landscape report has been prepared by the Threat Research Team at Sectrio using data from Sectrio, cyber threat intelligence farming facilities spread across over 85 cities around the world. In addition, Sectrio also runs AI-based advanced threat and payload engagement facilities that serve as sinks to attract and engage sophisticated threat actors, and newer malware including new variants and latent threats that are at an earlier stage of development.
The latest edition of the OT/ICS and IoT security Threat Landscape Report 2024 also covers:
State of global ICS asset and network exposure
Sectoral targets and attacks as well as the cost of ransom
Global APT activity, AI usage, actor and tactic profiles, and implications
Rise in volumes of AI-powered cyberattacks
Major cyber events in 2024
Malware and malicious payload trends
Cyberattack types and targets
Vulnerability exploit attempts on CVEs
Attacks on counties – USA
Expansion of bot farms – how, where, and why
In-depth analysis of the cyber threat landscape across North America, South America, Europe, APAC, and the Middle East
Why are attacks on smart factories rising?
Cyber risk predictions
Axis of attacks – Europe
Systemic attacks in the Middle East

Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Â
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.

PHP Frameworks: I want to break free (IPC Berlin 2024)Ralf Eggert
Â
In this presentation, we examine the challenges and limitations of relying too heavily on PHP frameworks in web development. We discuss the history of PHP and its frameworks to understand how this dependence has evolved. The focus will be on providing concrete tips and strategies to reduce reliance on these frameworks, based on real-world examples and practical considerations. The goal is to equip developers with the skills and knowledge to create more flexible and future-proof web applications. We'll explore the importance of maintaining autonomy in a rapidly changing tech landscape and how to make informed decisions in PHP development.
This talk is aimed at encouraging a more independent approach to using PHP frameworks, moving towards a more flexible and future-proof approach to PHP development.
Smart TV Buyer Insights Survey 2024 by 91mobiles.pdf91mobiles

91mobiles recently conducted a Smart TV Buyer Insights Survey in which we asked over 3,000 respondents about the TV they own, aspects they look at on a new TV, and their TV buying preferences.
Kubernetes & AI - Beauty and the Beast !?! @KCD Istanbul 2024Tobias Schneck
Â
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.

18. â–§ Producer
â–§ The producer oversees all the business aspects of the production,
coordinating everything that does not involve the events on stage
18
19. â–§ Director
â–§ The director has the final say on all artistic aspects of a
production, and is in charge of everything that happens on
stage. This person must be a mixture of dictator, diplomat,
artist, mind reader and drill sergeant.
19
20. â–§ Assistant Director
â–§ Consider having an assistant director on your team. This takes
pressure off the director and means more than one set of
performers can rehearse at any time. While the director stages a
new scene with the ensemble, the assistant director can run the
leads through sequences that have already been blocked.
20
21. â–§ Musical Director
â–§ You will want someone with musical knowledge to conduct
rehearsals and performances. Your accompaniment can be a full
orchestra or one person at a piano. Some licensing firms now
provide pre-recorded "rehearsal" accompaniment for certain
shows – even if you use these recordings, your cast will benefit
from having a capable musical director to guide them through the
often terrifying prospect of singing on stage.
21
22. â–§ Choreographer
â–§ If your show requires serious dancing, have someone on hand who
can make those dances look good, preferably someone with
professional training. You do not want dance numbers that expose
your cast to ridicule or possible injury.
22
23. â–§ Set Designer
â–§ Someone will have to design and build your sets or stage
decorations. In some theatre groups, the person in charge of sets is
called "Technical Director" and coordinates all tech teams. While I
don't find this useful, see what fits your team best. Make sure
everything on stage is sturdy.
23
24. â–§ Costume Designer/Coordinator
â–§ If you have capable seamstresses and designers on hand, you are
blessed. When your show requires contemporary clothing, the cast
can provide its own. If you have to rent or borrow costumes, have
someone coordinate measurements, costume selection,
alterations, and costume maintenance.
24
25. â–§ Lighting Designer
â–§ It takes tremendous patience to get the lights set properly and
safely. Have someone with technical expertise set up and maintain
your stage lighting system. If you have a qualified volunteer, three
cheers, but note the word "qualified." There is nothing more
dangerous than the inspired amateur. A licensed electrician should
check out your system to verify everything is safe.
25
26. â–§ Sound Designer/manager
â–§ This technical wizard will supervise the sound levels during final
rehearsals and performances, preferably from a command post in
the auditorium. A sound crew will be needed backstage to assist
with microphones.
26
27. â–§ Stage Manager
â–§ The SM is the director's right hand, assisting at rehearsals, setting
up materials and keeping the script on hand to call out any
forgotten lines. The SM also makes sure everything backstage
goes smoothly during performances.
