The Atlantic is relatively a narrow body of water. It exists between two parallel continental masses.
The Atlantic Ocean touches both the Europe and the Africa on its eastern side. It is bounded by North America and South America along its western region. The Atlantic has no definite northern or southern boundaries. It runs into the Arctic Ocean on the north, and the Antarctic Ocean on the south. Some geographers consider the Arctic Circle as its northern boundary, and the Antarctic Circle as its southern boundary. The ancient Romans named the Atlantic after the Atlas mountains. These mountains rose at the western end of the Mediterranean sea.

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).

Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
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.
Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.

Elevating Tactical DDD Patterns Through Object CalisthenicsDorra BARTAGUIZ
After immersing yourself in the blue book and its red counterpart, attending DDD-focused conferences, and applying tactical patterns, you're left with a crucial question: How do I ensure my design is effective? Tactical patterns within Domain-Driven Design (DDD) serve as guiding principles for creating clear and manageable domain models. However, achieving success with these patterns requires additional guidance. Interestingly, we've observed that a set of constraints initially designed for training purposes remarkably aligns with effective pattern implementation, offering a more ‘mechanical’ approach. Let's explore together how Object Calisthenics can elevate the design of your tactical DDD patterns, offering concrete help for those venturing into DDD for the first time!

The first evidence of the systematic use of Stone-Age
technologies in the Philippines is estimated to have
dated back to about 50,000 BC, and this phase in the
development of proto-Philippine societies is considered
to end with the rise of metal tools in about 500
BC, although stone tools continued to be used past that
date. Filipino Anthropologist F. Landa Jocano refers to
the earliest noticeable stage in the development of
proto-Philippine societies as the Formative Phase. He
also identified stone tool and ceramics making as the
two core industries that defined the economic activity of
the time, and which shaped the means by which early
Filipinos adapted to their environment during this period.
32.
About 30,000 BC, the Negritos, who became the
ancestors of today's Aetas, or Aboriginal
Filipinos, descended from more northerly abodes in
Central Asia passing through the Indian
Subcontinent and reaching the Andamanese
Islands. From thereon, the Negritos continued to
venture on land bridges reachingSoutheast Asia.
While some of the Negritos settled in
Malaysia, becoming what is now the Orang
Asli people, several Negrito tribes continued on to
the Philippines through Borneo. No evidence has
survived which would indicate details of Ancient
Filipino life such as their crops, color, and
architecture.

The earliest human remains known in the
Philippines are the fossilized remains discovered in
2007 by Armand Salvador Mijares in Callao
Cave, Cagayan,Philippines. A 67,000 years old
remains that predates Tabon Man. Specifically, the
find consisted of a single 61
milimeter metatarsal which, when dated
using uranium series ablation, was found to be at
least about 67,000 years old. If definitively proven
to be remains of Homo sapiens, it would antedate
the 47,000 year old remains of Tabon Man to
become the earliest human remains known in the
Philippines, and one of the oldest human remains in
the Asia Pacific.

A fossilized fragments of a skull and jawbone of
three individuals, discovered on May 28, 1962 by
Dr. Robert B. Fox, an American anthropologist of
the National Museum. These fragments are
collectively called "Tabon Man" after the place
where they were found on the west coast
of Palawan. Tabon Cave appears to be a kind
of Stone Age factory, with both finished stone flake
tools and waste core flakes having been found at
four separate levels in the main chamber. Charcoal
left from three assemblages of cooking fires there
has been Carbon-14 dated to roughly
7,000, 20,000, and 22,000 BCE.
35. The
Tabon man fossils are
considered to have come from a
third group of inhabitants, who
worked the cave between 22,000
and 20,000 BCE. An earlier cave
level lies so far below the level
containing cooking fire
assemblages that it must
represent Upper Pleistocene dates
like 45 or 50 thousand years ago.

There have been several models of early human
migration to the Philippines. Since H. Otley Beyer
first proposed his wave migration theory, numerous
scholars have approached the question of
how, when and why humans first came to the
Philippines. The question of whether the first
humans arrived from the south
(Malaysia, Indonesia, and Brunei as suggested by
Beyer) or from the north (via Taiwan as suggested
by the Austronesian theory) has been a subject of
heated debate for decades. As new discoveries
come to light, past hypotheses are reevaluated and
new theories constructed
37. According
to Dr. Beyer, the ancestors
of the Filipinos came to the islands
first via land bridges which would
occur during times when the sea level
was low, and then later in seagoing
vessels such as the balangay. Thus he
differentiated these ancestors as
arriving in different "waves of
migration", as follows:
38. "Dawn Man", a cave-man type who was similar
to Java man, Peking Man, and other Asian homo
sapiens of 250,000 years ago.
The aboriginal pygmy group, the Negritos, who
arrived between 25,000 and 30,000 years ago.
The sea-faring tool-using Indonesian group who
arrived about 5,000 to 6,000 years ago and were
the first immigrants to reach the Philippines by sea.
The seafaring, more civilized Malays who brought
the Iron age culture and were the real colonizers
and dominant cultural group in the pre-Hispanic
Philippines.
40.
This model suggests that Between 4500 BCE and
4000 BCE, developments in agricultural technology
in the Yunnan Plateau in Chinacreated pressures
which drove certain peoples to migrate to Taiwan.
These people either already had or began to
develop a unique language of their own, now
referred to as Proto-Austronesian.
By around 3000 BCE, these groups started
differentiating into three or four distinct
subcultures, and by 2500 to 1500 BC, one of these
groups began migrating southwards towards the
Philippines and Indonesia, reaching as far
as Borneo and the Moluccas by 1500 BCE, forming
new cultural groupings and developing unique
languages.
41.
By 1500 BC, some of these groups started
migrating west, reaching as far
as Madagascar around the first millennium CE.
Others migrated east, settling as far as Easter
Island by the mid-13th century CE, giving the
Austronesian language group the distinction of
being the most widely distributed language groups
in the world at that time, in terms of the
geographical span of the homelands of its
languages.
According to this theory, the peoples of the
Philippines are the descendants of those cultures
who remained on the Philippine islands when
others moved first southwards, then eastward and
westward.
42. Another alternative model is that asserted by
anthropologist F. Landa Jocano of the University of
the Philippines, who in 2001 contended that the
existing fossil evidence of ancient humans
demonstrates that they not only migrated to the
Philippines, but also to New
Guinea, Borneo, and Australia.

43.
In reference to Beyer's wave
model, he points out that there is no
definitive way to determine the "race" of the
human fossils; the only certain thing is that
the discovery of Tabon Man proves that the
Philippines was inhabited as early as
21,000 or 22,000 years ago. If this is
true, the first inhabitants of the Philippines
would not have come from the Malay
Peninsula. Instead, Jocano postulates that
the present Filipinos are products of the
long process of evolution and movement of
people..
44. He
also adds that this is also true of
Indonesians and Malaysians, with
none among the three peoples being
the dominant carrier of culture. In
fact, he suggests that the ancient
humans who populated Southeast
Asia cannot be categorized under any
of these three groups. He thus further
suggests that it is not correct to
consider Filipino culture as being
Malayan in orientation
