Progressing CCS - From source to use: the role of fossil fuels in delivering a sustainable energy future. Presented by Jon Gibbins at the UNECE Committee on Sustainable Energy, Geneva, 19-20 November 2014
This slideshow begins with an explanation of the science that is driving climate change. As fossil fuels are burned, heat-trapping carbon dioxide enters the atmosphere, altering the Earth's natural carbon cycle. This has dangerous impacts around the world. Extreme temperatures are becoming the norm, which leads to catastrophic weather events like droughts that cause wildfires, or storms that cause floods. The longer it takes to reverse our emissions trends, the worse these weather events will become and the further away we get from ever reaching a stable climate. But there are solutions; natural gas has become increasingly cheaper in recent years and, if extracted and consumed properly, can offer a much cleaner energy source than traditional coal. Huge gains have been made in energy efficiency as well; in buildings, transportation, industry, and the electricity system. Renewable energy has also entered the playing field, with solar, wind, biomass, geothermal, and storage now starting to be able to compete with traditional fossil fuels. Policy action is needed in order to maintain this transition toward cleaner energy. We need to manage our use of fossil fuels, expand energy efficiency, and accelerate renewables. Whether it's by state regulation, federal standards, or Congressional action, we have the opportunity to ensure a low-carbon future for the U.S. and the world.

Plein gaz : enjeux et perspectives sur la valorisation du CO2 | LIEGE CREATIV...Nancy BOVY
La réduction des émissions de CO2 est une priorité dans la transition énergétique mondiale.
Parmi les pistes envisagées, la capture et réutilisation du CO2 offre d’intéressants avantages tels que la flexibilité de ses solutions et la maturité technique élevée pour plusieurs d’entre elles.
Vu le faible coût du carbone en Europe, le déploiement de ces technologies reste lent mais la valorisation du CO2 comme matière première peut améliorer leur rentabilité.
Capturer, stocker et utiliser le CO2 représentent de nombreux enjeux ! Pour répondre à ces défis, la plateforme FRITCO2T (Federation of Researchers in Innovative Technologies for CO2 Transformation) a vu le jour à l'Université de Liège en regroupant les expertises complémentaires de 4 laboratoires actifs dans des secteurs aussi divers que la pharmacie, les matériaux de construction, les polymères ou le génie chimique.
Cette soirée aura pour but de présenter les activités de la plateforme qui propose une offre de recherche et développement pour la ré-utilisation de CO2 via de nombreuses voies : synthèse de carburants ou de plastiques, utilisation de CO2 comme solvant notamment dans le secteur pharma, carbonatation de matériaux de construction…
Des applications concrètes de telles solutions dans le monde industriel seront illustrées et, les exposés seront suivis d'un échange avec un panel animé par Damien Dallemagne (CO2 Value Europe).

God Loves You Leaflet by Janet Edmonds.pdfElton Sherwin
Why is it that some people discriminate against queers and some churches and conservative Christians are so against the LGBTQIA+ Community?
This leaflet provides some of the answers.
Part of the problem is that some churches teach that the Bible, God’s Word, says that homosexuality or being queer is a sin. This teaching is WRONG! This leaflet explains 7 specific Bible scriptures often called the “CLOBBER PASSAGES” because they are used by conservative Christians to “clobber” the LGBTQIA+ Community. When these 7 scripture passages are read without knowledge of context, history, and original intent, it’s easy to jump to the WRONG conclusion that God doesn’t approve of same-sex or queer relationships. Using the words literally, as they appear in the Bible, to condemn all queer people, is a MISINTERPRETATION of the original scriptures and the initial purpose of why they were written.
FIRST, a look at 2 AMAZING Bible scriptures that are AFFIRMING and ENCOURAGING for the LGBTQIA+ Community.

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.

Observability Concepts EVERY Developer Should Know -- DeveloperWeek Europe.pdfPaige Cruz
Monitoring and observability aren’t traditionally found in software curriculums and many of us cobble this knowledge together from whatever vendor or ecosystem we were first introduced to and whatever is a part of your current company’s observability stack.
While the dev and ops silo continues to crumble….many organizations still relegate monitoring & observability as the purview of ops, infra and SRE teams. This is a mistake - achieving a highly observable system requires collaboration up and down the stack.
I, a former op, would like to extend an invitation to all application developers to join the observability party will share these foundational concepts to build on:
