This document discusses keeping cloud computing secure and cost effective. It defines cloud computing as a model for flexible internet-based consumption and delivery of computing resources. It outlines the key aspects of cloud computing including software as a service (SaaS), platform as a service (PaaS), infrastructure as a service (IaaS) and different delivery models. It emphasizes that the cloud requires management to identify risks, save costs through techniques like DevOps, leverage abstraction and flexibility, and ensure compliance.
An ant works hard every day without supervision. A lion in charge notices this and thinks the ant could produce even more with oversight. He hires a cockroach supervisor who implements extensive paperwork and meetings, taking up the ant's time. More managers are brought on, growing the bureaucracy. Production decreases but the managers justify their roles. An audit finds the department overstaffed but the ant is fired for a poor attitude.
The document contains 34 comic strips from the website www.bahiaespirita.com.br created by cartoonist Jorge Lyrio. Each comic strip addresses a different topic and poses a question to "The Disabled", who provides a thought-provoking response in 1-2 sentences advocating concepts like peace, love, forgiveness, and spiritual/moral evolution. The comic strips aim to use art to spread positive messages and reveal the presence of God.
King Hemraj of Mohenjo-Daro noticed signs of aging in the mirror and had servants build a pool to relax in. After swimming, he wanted to feel young again and sacrificed his youngest son Prakul by letting his blood spill in the pool. When servants discovered the body, the people of the city banned King Hemraj and made his eldest son Dushyant the new king to honor the royal family and bring peace to the city once more.

Parables vs Facts: Why we know the earth is older than 6000 yearsEvo Terra
I’m OK with your religious beliefs. Really, I am. But I’m not OK with those beliefs controlling policy or attempting to counter demonstrably proven facts about the universe. In this talk, I’ll demonstrate (without the use of hard-to-understand things like carbon dating) how we know the universe is more than 6000 years old.
Special thanks to George Hrab for the inspiration and initial research on this talk. He is, quite frankly, the man.
