This document outlines the agenda for a 4.75 hour sales training workshop taking place on October 17th. The workshop is split into two parts focused on communication principles in sales. Part one covers topics like body language, verbal and non-verbal cues, and interactive exercises. Part two discusses skills like questioning techniques, objection handling, closing strategies, and creating value propositions. The workshop utilizes videos, group discussions, and homework assignments. Attendees are divided into four groups and the workshop is led by Jeff Robinson, an experienced investor and consultant.
This document provides instructions for a classroom activity where students are assigned to research and represent different British colonies in North America during the colonial period. The activity involves students creating colonial sales booths to encourage settlement in their assigned colony. Students are given steps to complete the project, including researching their colony, creating a slogan and poster highlighting key features, developing a jingle, and rehearsing a sales presentation to promote their colony. The goal is for students to learn about the similarities and differences among the original 13 colonies through this competitive marketing activity.
Why Women Use Exclamation Points in Their WritingTom Carroll
The document attempts to explain why women use exclamation points in their writing using a pseudoscientific approach. It suggests that the reason is because women physically have exclamation points, referring to female genitalia. It then provides some absurd alternative theories about the relationship between women's punctuation choices and pubic hair styling, attempting to link exclamation points to styles from the 1970s, styles resembling money symbols, and styles seen in Latin American countries. It concludes by stating further scientific inquiry is needed and will be determined partly by a grand jury.

Don't Change A Thing: Why Your Style is EXACTLY What Your Project, Team, & Or...Leslie Stein
Original session description when presented at ASHP Midyear Conference (Anaheim, CA; December 2014):
Description:
You are a success. Yes. YOU! Think about it, you’ve overcome every single obstacle ever put in front of you to be standing (or sitting) where you are today. Every. Single. One. So why not admit you’ve got it going on? That you do indeed know what you’re doing and have figure out a secret to success?!
Did you catch that? A secret to success…not THE secret to success. Where most of us fail is not in our brilliance, but in how we share our message with others. This session is designed to do two things around that issue.
First, it will increase your awareness of the styles, traits, & superpowers YOU actually poses. Because you cannot consciously use what you don’t know about. Second, it will help you better understand OTHERS and how you might make tweaks or alter your approach to get them on board to achieve your goals instead of resisting you every step of the way.
As a result of this session, attendees will:
· Increase self-awareness of their styles, traits, & superpowers
· Better understand the strengths of other styles & how to adjust when working with them
· Learn how to frame & present their ideas in new ways
· Interact with all the styles to share inspiration, insight, & secrets of success
The document provides tips for startups on branding, messaging, and gaining media exposure. It recommends defining the company mission, vision, and values to guide decisions. It also stresses the importance of understanding the industry landscape and target audience. When pitching media, the tips are to do research on the publication, leverage networks for introductions, and avoid hype. The document also suggests partnering with similar companies and using the product to drive awareness as ideas for gaining exposure. Social media engagement and offering original content are also recommended.
Podcasts open the door to telling new stories and reaching new audiences — if you do them well. But what are the conversations that need to happen before going forward, and what’s the balance between innovative podcast storytelling and the investment needed in time, expertise and money. This session explores the basics and best practices of podcasting. Bring an idea that you think would make a good podcast. Katie O'Connell is head of podcasts for The Arizona Republic. @katieoc
The document provides advice on how to give an effective pitch to investors. It discusses that investors cycle between fear of losing money and greed of making money. They are also concerned with managing risk and ensuring an exit. The typical pitch focuses too much on market need upfront and asks for money at the end without addressing these investor mindsets. An improved pitch would clearly state the purpose, team credentials, current status, and ask upfront. It would paint a picture of the key customer problem and solution. Questions from investors should be welcomed, not avoided, as a sign of engagement. The pitch should be adapted based on investor feedback and keep their interests in mind.

Digital Banking in the Cloud: How Citizens Bank Unlocked Their MainframePrecisely
Inconsistent user experience and siloed data, high costs, and changing customer expectations – Citizens Bank was experiencing these challenges while it was attempting to deliver a superior digital banking experience for its clients. Its core banking applications run on the mainframe and Citizens was using legacy utilities to get the critical mainframe data to feed customer-facing channels, like call centers, web, and mobile. Ultimately, this led to higher operating costs (MIPS), delayed response times, and longer time to market.
Ever-changing customer expectations demand more modern digital experiences, and the bank needed to find a solution that could provide real-time data to its customer channels with low latency and operating costs. Join this session to learn how Citizens is leveraging Precisely to replicate mainframe data to its customer channels and deliver on their “modern digital bank” experiences.

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.
5th LF Energy Power Grid Model Meet-up SlidesDanBrown980551
5th Power Grid Model Meet-up
It is with great pleasure that we extend to you an invitation to the 5th Power Grid Model Meet-up, scheduled for 6th June 2024. This event will adopt a hybrid format, allowing participants to join us either through an online Mircosoft Teams session or in person at TU/e located at Den Dolech 2, Eindhoven, Netherlands. The meet-up will be hosted by Eindhoven University of Technology (TU/e), a research university specializing in engineering science & technology.
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.

Essentials of Automations: Exploring Attributes & Automation ParametersSafe Software
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.
zkStudyClub - LatticeFold: A Lattice-based Folding Scheme and its Application...Alex Pruden
Folding is a recent technique for building efficient recursive SNARKs. Several elegant folding protocols have been proposed, such as Nova, Supernova, Hypernova, Protostar, and others. However, all of them rely on an additively homomorphic commitment scheme based on discrete log, and are therefore not post-quantum secure. In this work we present LatticeFold, the first lattice-based folding protocol based on the Module SIS problem. This folding protocol naturally leads to an efficient recursive lattice-based SNARK and an efficient PCD scheme. LatticeFold supports folding low-degree relations, such as R1CS, as well as high-degree relations, such as CCS. The key challenge is to construct a secure folding protocol that works with the Ajtai commitment scheme. The difficulty, is ensuring that extracted witnesses are low norm through many rounds of folding. We present a novel technique using the sumcheck protocol to ensure that extracted witnesses are always low norm no matter how many rounds of folding are used. Our evaluation of the final proof system suggests that it is as performant as Hypernova, while providing post-quantum security.
