New Couture Jewelry Collection From Europe Launched in North AmericaFrangulea Monica
A collection of exquisite jewelry inspired from the exotic beauty of the Mediterranean islands with their colorful landscapes and the Aegean Sea, the fabulous underwater world of corals, tropical fish, and creatures of the deep and undulating algae.
Many designs are also inspired from the beauty and the rich ancient history of the Mediterranean: Ancient Greek and Ancient Egypt mythology, Babylon, Byzantine and Roman Empire.
This is why many designs have Greek gods’ and mythological figure names like Aphrodite, Medusa, Artemis, Andromeda, Calypso, Orpheus, Nemesis, or names from the Egyptian mythology like Osiris.
The designs range from a classical approach, some even reminding of the Victorian jewellery to a more contemporary jewelry design.
The designs combine a wide range of natural gemstone beads: sapphire, emerald, ruby, coral, pearls, amber, agate, onyx, jade, hematite, turquoise, topaz, lapis lazuli, peridot, garnet, aquamarine, amethyst, opal, rose quartz, moonstone, citrine, aventurine, labradorite, mother of pearl and many others.
The use of crystals gives a spectacular sparkle to every Musesa fine art jewelry piece.
Musesa jewelry pieces are designed with the structure hidden inside the gemstones.
This way the client's skin will come in contact directly with the rare and precious gemstones we use, allowing the designs to be wearable on both sides!
Some statement pieces in Musesa Collection have over 20 different types of gemstones.
Musesa Design Jewelry has clients all over the world.
From famous personalities and TV hosts in USA, Canada, Germany, Brazil, Greece, to many other clients in Australia, Dubai, Russia, a.s.o.

How Yahoo Is Making Their Technology Accessible to Everyone3Play Media
Yahoo has more than a billion monthly active users. Knowing that roughly 10% of the world’s population identifies as having some kind of disability, it's important that we build our products for all users to access and enjoy, whether or not they are disabled.
Join us on July 28 to learn more about how Yahoo is committed to building cutting-edge products that make every user experience delightful, inspiring, and accessible to all.
Mike Shebanek, Senior Director of Yahoo's Accessibility Team, and Larry Goldberg, Accessible Media Expert at Yahoo, will present on:
An overview of accessibility at Yahoo, including closed captioning, screen reader accessibility, and single switches
Yahoo's mindful approach to accessibility for all their products
Yahoo’s Accessibility Labs
A deep dive into Yahoo’s closed captioning initiatives
How Yahoo goes above and beyond FCC captioning requirements
Challenges and opportunities in closed captioning, including different viewing platforms, distribution networks, file formats, and video player user settings
Worldwide, $130 billion dollars was spent on corporate training in 2014, up 15 percent from 2013. Meanwhile:
70% of organizations cite “capability gaps” as one of their top five challenges.
Employees have as little as 1% of their work day to dedicate to learning due to continued capacity strains
“Corporate training” is rated as the lowest valued way to learn at work.
That should be a scary picture for every learning and performance professional. We’re quickly losing relevance in a world that needs our help but doesn’t have the patience for us to get our act together. Learning and development must change to meet the needs of the modern learner and workplace — but how?
In this webinar, JD Dillon from Kaplan Higher and Professional Education will share his organization’s practical approach to evolving what it means to support learning and performance in the modern workplace. Dillon will explore the challenge facing L&D as it attempts to step off the business sidelines to become an essential part of the business ecosystem. Participants will discover how Kaplan used a resource-centered approach, supported by the realities of brain science and the context of the modern workplace, to become a valued partner to every employee in their student support teams.
During this webinar, we’ll discuss how L&D professionals can begin to:
Redefine what it means to support learning and performance in the context of the modern workplace
Shift L&D’s focus from formal instruction to searchable, on-demand resources
Leverage basic brain science principles to motivate learners and drive long-term knowledge retention
Create simple, integrated learning opportunities using diverse content and technology
Promote L&D’s position from the business sidelines to a starting role in every employee’s workday

Engineering Influence: Talking to Developers about ContentJohn Eckman
Successful digital projects require a host of skills, but critical to the mix is software engineering. The most elegant, thoughtful, and pragmatic content strategy grinds to a halt when the implementation doesn’t live up to the plan.
Even when we get into so-called “maintenance” mode, we often find ourselves entirely dependent on the actions of strange beings speaking in a foreign tongue: developers.
What’s the best way to collaborate with our colleagues who come to web and mobile projects not with a focus on the content per se, but with a focus on the System?
Transcript of Tweets from discussion. In today's economy most organization have strict budget constraints which limits the amount of resources that can be dedicated to new products and product enhancements. Add to this, the fact that most industries are increasingly competitive and companies that do not keep up and adapt to fast changes find themselves rapidly fading out of existence.

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).
Speakers:
Bob Boule
Robert Boule is a technology enthusiast with PASSION for technology and making things work along with a knack for helping others understand how things work.

Climate Impact of Software Testing at Nordic Testing DaysKari Kakkonen
My slides at Nordic Testing Days 6.6.2024
Climate impact / sustainability of software testing discussed on the talk. ICT and testing must carry their part of global responsibility to help with the climat warming. We can minimize the carbon footprint but we can also have a carbon handprint, a positive impact on the climate. Quality characteristics can be added with sustainability, and then measured continuously. Test environments can be used less, and in smaller scale and on demand. Test techniques can be used in optimizing or minimizing number of tests. Test automation can be used to speed up testing.

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:
