The document discusses the causes of seasons on Earth. It is caused by the 23.5 degree tilt of the Earth's axis as it revolves around the sun. This tilt means that during different parts of the year, either the northern or southern hemispheres receive more direct sunlight, causing warmer temperatures in that hemisphere's summer and colder temperatures in its winter. The amount and angle of sunlight hitting different areas of Earth throughout the year is what determines the seasons, not the distance from the sun, which remains relatively constant as Earth revolves in its orbit.

Seasons refer to the four different periods of the year, each characterized by distinctive weather patterns and environmental changes. The four seasons are spring, summer, fall (also known as autumn), and winter. The changing of seasons is caused by the Earth's axial tilt and its revolution around the sun.
During each season, different parts of the world experience different weather conditions, such as varying temperatures, precipitation, and daylight hours. For example, in the northern hemisphere, winter is characterized by colder temperatures and shorter daylight hours, while summer is marked by warmer temperatures and longer days.
The changing of seasons has significant impacts on various aspects of life, including agriculture, tourism, and wildlife. Additionally, different cultures and traditions have developed around the seasons, with many holidays and celebrations occurring during specific times of the year.
Overall, understanding the seasons is important for gaining a better appreciation of the natural world and how it affects our lives.

Securing your Kubernetes cluster_ a step-by-step guide to success !KatiaHIMEUR1
Today, after several years of existence, an extremely active community and an ultra-dynamic ecosystem, Kubernetes has established itself as the de facto standard in container orchestration. Thanks to a wide range of managed services, it has never been so easy to set up a ready-to-use Kubernetes cluster.
However, this ease of use means that the subject of security in Kubernetes is often left for later, or even neglected. This exposes companies to significant risks.
In this talk, I'll show you step-by-step how to secure your Kubernetes cluster for greater peace of mind and reliability.

Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.
2. Seasons A regular change in temperature that repeats itself every year
3. Words to know: Axis - imaginary line around which Earth spins, causing day and night, and that is drawn from the north geographic pole through Earth to the south geographic pole http://vortex.plymouth.edu/sun/axis.gif
4. Words to know: Rotation - spinning of Earth on its axis, which causes day and night; it takes 24 hours for Earth to complete one rotation http://vortex.plymouth.edu/sun/rot8_an.gif
5. Words to know: Revolution - the motion of Earth around the Sun, which takes about 365 1/4 days, or one year, to complete http://www.usoe.k12.ut.us
6. Words to know: Orbit - curved path followed by Earth as it moves around the Sun http://www.vt-2004.org/mt-2003/mt-mercury-orbit.jpg
7. The Earth’s Tilt The Earth's axis is tilted by 23.45° http://www.crh.noaa.gov/fsd/astro/season.htm
9. As the Earth moves around the Sun, this axis stays always pointing in the same direction.
10. This means that, during part of the year, the northern part of the Earth will lean more directly to the sun, and during other parts of the year the southern part of the Earth will.
11. The Earth during one full year as you would see it if you looked straight at it from the Sun.
12. The part of the Earth that is directly facing the sun changes with the time of the year.
13. The northern half faces the sun for a while, then moves south of the equator, only to move back to the north again.
14. When the northern hemisphere is leaning away from the sun, the rays coming from it hit this part of the Earth at a smaller angle than on other parts of the world.
15. This means that the same amount of light is distributed over a larger surface, and so these places receive less heat than the others.
17. In half a year, the situation reverses, and it is now Winter in the southern hemisphere since that part of the earth is now leaning away from the sun.
18. The energy that hits the Earth by the Sun changes over of the year. The angle the Sun is above the horizon determines how much heat and light strike each square meter of ground. http://inkido.indiana.edu/a100/celestialsphere5.html
19. In the winter the Sun's energy is weakened because the Sun's ray strike the ground rather indirectly as compared to the summer months when the Sun's rays strike the ground more directly. http://inkido.indiana.edu/a100/celestialsphere5.html
20. This means that the ground receives more energy (more heat) per square meter in the summer than in the winter. More energy is received by the ground during the summer (high temperatures) and less energy during the winter (lower temperatures). http://inkido.indiana.edu/a100/celestialsphere5.html
23. The Earth's seasons are not caused by the differences in the distance from the Sun throughout the year.
24. The seasons are the result of the tilt of the Earth's axis. I know this is a repeat, but it is important that you understand this idea. Many Americans, including Harvard graduates, do not know what causes seasons!
25. Review Look closely at where the Sun is hitting the Earth during each season: http://Search.Lycos.com/setup.asp?r=5&src=clear2&query=weather+savvy
