The first artists lived during prehistoric times before written history. They created cave paintings and petroglyphs that provide insights into their world. Cave paintings were made by applying pigments like ochre to cave walls, allowing us to learn about the animals that lived at that time like horses, bison, and reindeer. Petroglyphs involved carving or pecking designs into rock and may have represented early forms of pre-writing symbols. Some of the most famous cave paintings were discovered in 1940 at the Lascaux Caves in France, depicting hundreds of animals.

- Early humans in Africa began developing writing systems as far back as 30,000 years ago, making marks and symbols on cave walls to communicate ideas. These early forms of visual communication evolved into more complex systems over thousands of years.
- In Mesopotamia, the Sumerians invented one of the earliest systems of writing called cuneiform around 3100 BC. They developed pictographs carved into clay tablets using reed styluses. Over time, the pictographs became more abstract and took the wedge-shaped (cuneiform) form. Cuneiform was widely adopted across Mesopotamian civilizations and used to record laws, contracts, and other important documents.

Hieroglyphs is an ancient Egyptian form of writing comprised of small pictures that represent sounds or ideas. It was discovered through the Rosetta Stone and written on papyrus reed pages or carved and painted onto stone tomb walls. The Egyptians used sharpened reed pens dipped in plant-based inks to write hieroglyphic symbols representing both phonetic sounds and concepts.

The document provides information about rock art created by indigenous peoples and modern artists. It discusses two main types of rock art: petroglyphs, which are carvings made on rock surfaces, and pictographs, which are paintings made using mineral pigments. Rock art was used by native tribes to communicate stories, beliefs, and information about locations and resources. It often depicted important symbols and events. The document suggests students create their own piece of rock art to express something important or symbolic to them.
Petroglyphs in Idaho date back up to 12,000 years and were created by pecking images into basalt rock surfaces. Many sites are located along the Snake River and its tributaries, including Wees Bar with one of the largest collections in Idaho, Celebration Park which is the state's only archaeological park, and Map Rock featuring petroglyphs in the shape of a map. Additional sites where petroglyphs can be viewed are Buffalo Eddy along the Snake River and sites on the shore of Lake Pend Oreille.
Early forms of writing began as pictographs and petroglyphs that represented concrete objects and ideas. The earliest true writing systems developed in Egypt, Sumeria, and the Indus Valley around 3500 BCE, though they were pictorial rather than alphabetic. Early writing served practical purposes like recording taxes rather than literature. The Rosetta Stone helped scholars decipher Egyptian hieroglyphs in the 19th century. Understanding the history of writing provides context for how modern writing systems evolved from early forms and the origins of modern grammar conventions.

Suzanne Lagerweij - Influence Without Power - Why Empathy is Your Best Friend...Suzanne Lagerweij
This is a workshop about communication and collaboration. We will experience how we can analyze the reasons for resistance to change (exercise 1) and practice how to improve our conversation style and be more in control and effective in the way we communicate (exercise 2).
This session will use Dave Gray’s Empathy Mapping, Argyris’ Ladder of Inference and The Four Rs from Agile Conversations (Squirrel and Fredrick).
Abstract:
Let’s talk about powerful conversations! We all know how to lead a constructive conversation, right? Then why is it so difficult to have those conversations with people at work, especially those in powerful positions that show resistance to change?
Learning to control and direct conversations takes understanding and practice.
We can combine our innate empathy with our analytical skills to gain a deeper understanding of complex situations at work. Join this session to learn how to prepare for difficult conversations and how to improve our agile conversations in order to be more influential without power. We will use Dave Gray’s Empathy Mapping, Argyris’ Ladder of Inference and The Four Rs from Agile Conversations (Squirrel and Fredrick).
In the session you will experience how preparing and reflecting on your conversation can help you be more influential at work. You will learn how to communicate more effectively with the people needed to achieve positive change. You will leave with a self-revised version of a difficult conversation and a practical model to use when you get back to work.
Come learn more on how to become a real influencer!

Why Psychological Safety Matters for Software Teams - ACE 2024 - Ben Linders.pdfBen Linders
Psychological safety in teams is important; team members must feel safe and able to communicate and collaborate effectively to deliver value. It’s also necessary to build long-lasting teams since things will happen and relationships will be strained.
But, how safe is a team? How can we determine if there are any factors that make the team unsafe or have an impact on the team’s culture?
In this mini-workshop, we’ll play games for psychological safety and team culture utilizing a deck of coaching cards, The Psychological Safety Cards. We will learn how to use gamification to gain a better understanding of what’s going on in teams. Individuals share what they have learned from working in teams, what has impacted the team’s safety and culture, and what has led to positive change.
Different game formats will be played in groups in parallel. Examples are an ice-breaker to get people talking about psychological safety, a constellation where people take positions about aspects of psychological safety in their team or organization, and collaborative card games where people work together to create an environment that fosters psychological safety.

Carrer goals.pptx and their importance in real lifeartemacademy2
Career goals serve as a roadmap for individuals, guiding them toward achieving long-term professional aspirations and personal fulfillment. Establishing clear career goals enables professionals to focus their efforts on developing specific skills, gaining relevant experience, and making strategic decisions that align with their desired career trajectory. By setting both short-term and long-term objectives, individuals can systematically track their progress, make necessary adjustments, and stay motivated. Short-term goals often include acquiring new qualifications, mastering particular competencies, or securing a specific role, while long-term goals might encompass reaching executive positions, becoming industry experts, or launching entrepreneurial ventures.
Moreover, having well-defined career goals fosters a sense of purpose and direction, enhancing job satisfaction and overall productivity. It encourages continuous learning and adaptation, as professionals remain attuned to industry trends and evolving job market demands. Career goals also facilitate better time management and resource allocation, as individuals prioritize tasks and opportunities that advance their professional growth. In addition, articulating career goals can aid in networking and mentorship, as it allows individuals to communicate their aspirations clearly to potential mentors, colleagues, and employers, thereby opening doors to valuable guidance and support. Ultimately, career goals are integral to personal and professional development, driving individuals toward sustained success and fulfillment in their chosen fields.
The importance of sustainable and efficient computational practices in artificial intelligence (AI) and deep learning has become increasingly critical. This webinar focuses on the intersection of sustainability and AI, highlighting the significance of energy-efficient deep learning, innovative randomization techniques in neural networks, the potential of reservoir computing, and the cutting-edge realm of neuromorphic computing. This webinar aims to connect theoretical knowledge with practical applications and provide insights into how these innovative approaches can lead to more robust, efficient, and environmentally conscious AI systems.
