His most famous work, The Old Man and the Sea, published in 1952, tells the story of Santiago, a Cuban fisherman who struggles for three days to catch an enormous marlin, only to have it destroyed by sharks upon his return home, though he gains respect from the local fishermen for his catch. The story explores themes of perseverance, respect, and moral values. Hemingway went on to win the Pulitzer Prize and Nobel Prize for Literature before committing suicide in 1961.
Smart to Powerpoint
The document summarizes the story of the Pilgrims' journey from England to America in three sentences or less:
The Pilgrims fled religious persecution in England and traveled by ship to Holland and then on the Mayflower to settle in America, where they had the first Thanksgiving celebration with the Native Americans after surviving their first winter in the new land called New England.
Final presentation
This document discusses women who went to sea disguised as men throughout history. It provides background on how ships traditionally only allowed male crew members. Some reasons women went to sea as men include joining lovers in the navy, economic opportunities, and escaping problems at home. Notable women who disguised as men include Hannah Snell and Mary Anne Talbot. The document also describes the famous pirate duo of Mary Read and Anne Bonny. It notes how striking it was that some women were able to maintain their disguises for weeks, months or years given the physical demands of life at sea. In closing, the document suggests these women set a strong example and endured significant hardships.
Robinson crusoe a voyager
This document provides biographical details about Sejal N. Solanki, a student submitting a paper on the novel Robinson Crusoe. It also summarizes key plot points and background on Robinson Crusoe, including that it was written by Daniel Defoe based on a real Scottish sailor's story, and embellished with Defoe's own imaginings. The story follows Robinson Crusoe as he endures various adventures, including being shipwrecked alone on an island for many years until he is later rescued.

The document summarizes accounts from survivors of the Titanic describing what they were doing when the ship struck an iceberg. It then provides examples of full sentences describing what some specific people were doing when they heard about the Titanic sinking. Finally, it provides examples of sentences using connectives to describe various aspects of the Titanic sinking.
Saving the islands at lake george
John Apperson fell in love with Lake George and began working to protect and preserve the islands after nearly drowning in a canoe accident in 1908. He adopted and repaired West Dollar Island, and over time expanded his efforts to advocate for the entire Adirondack Park region. Apperson photographed erosion issues, removed illegal structures, befriended politicians like FDR to support conservation causes, and founded the New York Forest Preserve Association. His crowning achievement was donating Dome Island, which he had purchased and protected, to the Nature Conservancy in 1956 to ensure its permanent preservation.

LF Energy Webinar: Carbon Data Specifications: Mechanisms to Improve Data Acc...
This LF Energy webinar took place June 20, 2024. It featured:
-Alex Thornton, LF Energy
-Hallie Cramer, Google
-Daniel Roesler, UtilityAPI
-Henry Richardson, WattTime
In response to the urgency and scale required to effectively address climate change, open source solutions offer significant potential for driving innovation and progress. Currently, there is a growing demand for standardization and interoperability in energy data and modeling. Open source standards and specifications within the energy sector can also alleviate challenges associated with data fragmentation, transparency, and accessibility. At the same time, it is crucial to consider privacy and security concerns throughout the development of open source platforms.
This webinar will delve into the motivations behind establishing LF Energy’s Carbon Data Specification Consortium. It will provide an overview of the draft specifications and the ongoing progress made by the respective working groups.
Three primary specifications will be discussed:
-Discovery and client registration, emphasizing transparent processes and secure and private access
-Customer data, centering around customer tariffs, bills, energy usage, and full consumption disclosure
-Power systems data, focusing on grid data, inclusive of transmission and distribution networks, generation, intergrid power flows, and market settlement data

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.

Essentials of Automations: Exploring Attributes & Automation Parameters
Building automations in FME Flow can save time, money, and help businesses scale by eliminating data silos and providing data to stakeholders in real-time. One essential component to orchestrating complex automations is the use of attributes & automation parameters (both formerly known as “keys”). In fact, it’s unlikely you’ll ever build an Automation without using these components, but what exactly are they?
Attributes & automation parameters enable the automation author to pass data values from one automation component to the next. During this webinar, our FME Flow Specialists will cover leveraging the three types of these output attributes & parameters in FME Flow: Event, Custom, and Automation. As a bonus, they’ll also be making use of the Split-Merge Block functionality.
You’ll leave this webinar with a better understanding of how to maximize the potential of automations by making use of attributes & automation parameters, with the ultimate goal of setting your enterprise integration workflows up on autopilot.

High performance Serverless Java on AWS- GoTo Amsterdam 2024
Java is for many years one of the most popular programming languages, but it used to have hard times in the Serverless community. Java is known for its high cold start times and high memory footprint, comparing to other programming languages like Node.js and Python. In this talk I'll look at the general best practices and techniques we can use to decrease memory consumption, cold start times for Java Serverless development on AWS including GraalVM (Native Image) and AWS own offering SnapStart based on Firecracker microVM snapshot and restore and CRaC (Coordinated Restore at Checkpoint) runtime hooks. I'll also provide a lot of benchmarking on Lambda functions trying out various deployment package sizes, Lambda memory settings, Java compilation options and HTTP (a)synchronous clients and measure their impact on cold and warm start times.

The typical problem in product engineering is not bad strategy, so much as “no strategy”. This leads to confusion, lack of motivation, and incoherent action. The next time you look for a strategy and find an empty space, instead of waiting for it to be filled, I will show you how to fill it in yourself. If you’re wrong, it forces a correction. If you’re right, it helps create focus. I’ll share how I’ve approached this in the past, both what works and lessons for what didn’t work so well.
