HBaseCon 2015: NRT Event Processing with Guaranteed Delivery of HTTP CallbacksHBaseCon
At Salesforce, we are building a new service, code-named Webhooks, that enables our customers' own systems to respond in near real-time to system events and customer behavioral actions from the Salesforce Marketing Cloud. The application should process millions of events per day to address the current needs and scale up to billions of events per day for future needs, so horizontal scalability is a primary concern. In this talk, we will discuss how Webhooks is built using HBase for data storage and Cask Data Application Platform (CDAP), an open source framework for building applications on Hadoop.
CyberAgent is a leading Internet company in Japan focused on smartphone social communities and a game platform known as Ameba, which has 40M users.

Francesca Gottschalk - How can education support child empowerment.pptxEduSkills OECD
Francesca Gottschalk from the OECD’s Centre for Educational Research and Innovation presents at the Ask an Expert Webinar: How can education support child empowerment?
Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.
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.
A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

• Granite City government officials created an Economic Development Council with the purpose of identifying issues and
formulating realistic goals, objectives & strategies for their community. The Council is further broken up into sub-
committee’s which focus on specific area’s of development within the community.
• The Education and Workforce (E&W) committee goals included: “developing a strong working relationship with partner
organizations to assure that skills’ training is available” . One of the objectives under this goal was to provide a financial
literacy program for adults and youth.

5. Locality Development-FIU Pantry
Serves Students in Need
Florida International University opened a food pantry in
October 2014 to aid low income students against hunger.
A graduate assistant opened the pantry, which is run
completely on donations of imperishable foods and
bottled drinks. When he and his fellow GA students are
not there to run the store, it is operated by volunteers. It is
run on an honor system, and students only need to show
their University ID, and can take up to 10 pounds of food
weekly.

6. Locality Development
• Locality development-creating infrastructure aimed at impacting
community wide issues (Swanke, 2015)
• Community capacity building—using existing capital to increase community
capital--including human, financial, social, and physical capital (Swanke,
2015)
– In this case, FIU’s new food pantry for its students is using existing capital.
Human capital—Using student and volunteers’ skills and capabilities to run the
pantry
– Financial—using donors’ finances to provide the pantry with food
– Physical—using the campus as the pantry site
– Social—FIU students’ sense of community, pride, and cooperation results in the
desire and ability to come together and establish the pantry as well as keep it
running
• Community capital is increased as a result
– Low income students feel like they are involved in the community and
appreciate others generosity (social), learn how to utilize community resources
(human), and have more money to spend on other needs such as tuition,
housing, medical expenses, etc (Financial)
