With all apologies to Merlin Mann, this is my re-interpretation of his famous presentation to the staff at my school. Due to some time considerations and because he is so awesome, I at times (like the opening slide!) egregiously and without remorse rip off Mr. Mann directly. I hope he doesn't mind.
Bridging the Gap - The Future of LearningClint Hamada
This is our group's presentation on The Future of Learning at Learning 2.010 in Shanghai. We chose to focus on what we think is going to be the future of learning as well as some things that we are doing now (or can start doing tomorrow) to bridge that gap. We also tried to connect our vision of the future with the IB Learner Profile and with the NETS*S.

Velocity EU 2013 What is the velocity of an unladen swallow?pdyball
Seatwave was growing fast, success was unabated, and industry awards were landing on their doormat. Infrastructure had been revamped, load patterns were understood. Everything was going just great…
Until…
The marketing team planned Seatwave’s first UK TV campaign – all regions – simultaneously, but only told the engineering team the day before the first advert was due to run!
10 seconds into the advert the site melted and there was a collective thud as heads hit desks.
It was expensive lesson to learn but also the wake up call that forced everyone in Seatwave to focus on the performance of their site.
In this session we’ll share that pain we experienced, and how we improved performance so that when all our competitors crashed during the UKs largest concert ticket sale, we were able to take 20 days revenue in just 2 hours!
However, maintaining performance is a challenge, product owners want new features, the site starts to put on weight and slowly performance starts to degrade once more.
Will it take another disaster to focus everyone on performance or is there another way to avoid “boom and bust”?
We’ll talk about the steps we’re taking to avoid “boom and bust” by making both performance and the impact performance has on our customers visible to everyone across Seatwave including:
Our Adobe Site Catalyst installation with a custom implementation of the W3C Navigation Timing API allowing us to segment our business KPI’s by speed.
How we’re using a WebPageTest within continuous integration for our QA and production builds.
How we constantly review our performance against competitors using our own installation of the HTTPArchive.
Join us on our quest in search of the Holy Grail of truly understanding how web site performance affects our business, and the processes and systems we are putting in place to ensure we keep speed at the heart of our product development roadmap.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

Editor's Notes
People are more interested in what you have to say rather than what is on your slide. There should be plenty of “white space” on your slides.
By only having one idea per slide it keeps the focus of the viewers on what you are saying instead of reading what else is written on your slide.
Limit the bullet points and text on your slide. This sort of goes with the one idea per slide in the sense that by limiting the amount of text you have on your slide, you can gain the focus from your audience.
Some transitions and builds are good for an effect and excitement, but too many can be distracting. If you choose to have transitions, choose the same one for each slide.
Always use high quality graphics when placing pictures on your slide. Never stretch a small picture to fit the screen because this lowers the resolution and makes your presentation look sloppy.
Using Clip Art is not a good idea. It looks very cartoon-ish and non professional. Also, people have seen clip art numerous times and they would be much more interested to see something different.
Again, to avoid repetition, you should create your own theme and color scheme for your presentation. Your audience has most likely see the same template over and over again, so to catch their attention, create you own theme.
Keeping the graphs simple is better. Explain the graph in your own words to your audience to catch their attention more. Limit your slices to no more than 6.
Color evokes feelings and can create emotion within your presentation. There are cool colors and warm colors so choose wisely what mood you want to set with the colors on each slide.
Know the difference between serif and san serif fonts. Serif fonts are said to be lost in presentations due to the low resolution in projection screens. San Serif fonts are better for presentations.
Use Audio and/or video when necessary to further display the message you are trying to give. This will not only enhance your point, but it will change up the pace and add variety in your presentation to keep the attention of the audience.
You do not want to start making your presentation at the last minute. Ensure yourself with enough time by starting to plan out what you will be doing once you know you have to give a presentation.
It is extremely important knowing ahead of time how long you are expected to present for. Knowing this will help you prepare how in depth you need your information to be.
People love to hear stories, so if you can tell your story with passion, your audience will remember your presentation more than others.
Be passionate and enthusiastic about your topic. If you are not, how do you expect your audience to be listening with attentiveness? You need to be able to connect with your audience in an exciting way.
Remember that connecting to your audience is key to giving a good presentation. The best way to connect is to scan the whole audience to make it seem like you are talking to everyone to personally connect with the whole crowd.
Speak at a good volume with good inflection changes so everyone in the audience can hear. Do not over-do it, but make sure you have and can keep the attention of your audience.
