Activity for my classmates Lesson Plan
This document discusses different reading strategies such as skimming, scanning, and reading critically. It provides examples of when to use each strategy.

It emphasizes the importance of time management and accessing campus resources throughout the writing process.
A step by-step on how to do a background
1. Conduct preliminary research to help formulate a research question or thesis statement. Visit the library, internet, and databases to find preliminary sources like books and journals.
2. Take notes on sources and develop a research question or thesis statement to guide the thesis. Be sure to cite sources accurately.
3. Write a thesis statement expressing an opinion on an issue, problem, or solution based on research conducted so far.
Reading
Reading experts recommend introducing children to non-fiction books to spark their natural curiosity and provide a balance of genres. A parent's positive attitudes about reading can influence children's literacy skills. There are different purposes for reading, such as gaining an overview, locating specific information, or developing a detailed understanding. Skimming and scanning are fast reading styles used to overview or find specific information, while slow, analytical reading allows one to understand, evaluate, and remember what was read. The SQ3R method involves surveying, questioning, reading, reciting and reviewing for detailed understanding.

Introduction of Cybersecurity with OSS at Code Europe 2024
I develop the Ruby programming language, RubyGems, and Bundler, which are package managers for Ruby. Today, I will introduce how to enhance the security of your application using open-source software (OSS) examples from Ruby and RubyGems.
The first topic is CVE (Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures). I have published CVEs many times. But what exactly is a CVE? I'll provide a basic understanding of CVEs and explain how to detect and handle vulnerabilities in OSS.
Next, let's discuss package managers. Package managers play a critical role in the OSS ecosystem. I'll explain how to manage library dependencies in your application.
I'll share insights into how the Ruby and RubyGems core team works to keep our ecosystem safe. By the end of this talk, you'll have a better understanding of how to safeguard your code.

Dandelion Hashtable: beyond billion requests per second on a commodity server
This slide deck presents DLHT, a concurrent in-memory hashtable. Despite efforts to optimize hashtables, that go as far as sacrificing core functionality, state-of-the-art designs still incur multiple memory accesses per request and block request processing in three cases. First, most hashtables block while waiting for data to be retrieved from memory. Second, open-addressing designs, which represent the current state-of-the-art, either cannot free index slots on deletes or must block all requests to do so. Third, index resizes block every request until all objects are copied to the new index. Defying folklore wisdom, DLHT forgoes open-addressing and adopts a fully-featured and memory-aware closed-addressing design based on bounded cache-line-chaining. This design offers lock-free index operations and deletes that free slots instantly, (2) completes most requests with a single memory access, (3) utilizes software prefetching to hide memory latencies, and (4) employs a novel non-blocking and parallel resizing. In a commodity server and a memory-resident workload, DLHT surpasses 1.6B requests per second and provides 3.5x (12x) the throughput of the state-of-the-art closed-addressing (open-addressing) resizable hashtable on Gets (Deletes).

Smart research strategies
- 1. Smart Research Strategies By Kristine Carlson Asselin Published By Capstone Press Copyright 2013
- 2. Where To Start? You have a research project due in three weeks. It might be a paper about the life of Abraham Lincoln. Maybe it’s a diorama of the Grand Canyon or a timeline of the Civil War. Whatever the topic or format, you’re going to be elbow deep in in research. But where do you start? There are tons of sources out there for you to use. You just need to know where to look!
- 3. Research is fun if you know the basics. It’s like being a detective in your own mystery. Putting the clues together to create a finished product feels great! But before you dive into solving the mystery and finding your sources, you need some answers.
- 4. Step 1 You know what the teacher wants. Before you begin you need to understand instructions. Does the teacher have rules on the types of sources you use? Step 2 Pick your topic. Your teacher might assign a specific topic. If not, you can do some researching to choose your own subject. Whatever the topic, focus on a specific part that interests you. Step 3 Make a list. Before you start looking for sources, make a list of questions you need for your research.
- 5. Outlines An outline is a small summary of what you plan on writing. Some outlines include the major points of your project. Other outlines are more detailed. As you do your research, you can add more information to your outline.
- 6. Where’s the Info? Now that you’re clear on instructions and you’ve got your outline it’s time to build your bibliography. Make a list of possible sources from your research. Be sure to include books, websites, magazine articles, and anything else that might apply to your topic.
- 7. Step 1 Look back at the list of your research questions. You’ll focus your research on finding the answers. Step 2 Call in backup. Ask a librarian or a parent tp point out good library sources. Step 3 Consult other books or sources. Most nonfiction books have a bibliography in the back. List the sites an sources an author used in his or her research. You might want to use them in your research too!
