The document summarizes the water cycle. It explains that 75% of Earth's surface is covered by oceans containing salt water, while 25% is land containing fresh water. Water cycles between the oceans, atmosphere, and land through evaporation, condensation, precipitation, and runoff. This constant cycle supplies fresh water to support life on Earth.

The total volume of water on Earth is estimated at 1.386 billion km³ (333 million cubic miles), with 97.5% being salt water and 2.5% being fresh water. Of the fresh water, only 0.3% is in liquid form on the surface. In addition, the lower mantle of inner earth may hold as much as 5 times more water than all surface water combined (all oceans, all lakes, all rivers).

Elevating Tactical DDD Patterns Through Object CalisthenicsDorra BARTAGUIZ
After immersing yourself in the blue book and its red counterpart, attending DDD-focused conferences, and applying tactical patterns, you're left with a crucial question: How do I ensure my design is effective? Tactical patterns within Domain-Driven Design (DDD) serve as guiding principles for creating clear and manageable domain models. However, achieving success with these patterns requires additional guidance. Interestingly, we've observed that a set of constraints initially designed for training purposes remarkably aligns with effective pattern implementation, offering a more ‘mechanical’ approach. Let's explore together how Object Calisthenics can elevate the design of your tactical DDD patterns, offering concrete help for those venturing into DDD for the first time!

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.

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.

7. Most (97%) of the water on Earth is salt water in the oceans. Salt water in the oceans Earth’s water Fresh water 97% 3% Only about 3% of Earth’s water is fresh water.
8. There are may types of plants and animals that live in the salt water oceans.
9. But all the plants and animals that don’t live in the ocean must have fresh (not salt) water to live and grow.
10. Salt water from the oceans becomes fresh water in a process we call the… Water Cycle . Salt water fresh water
11. Salt water from the oceans becomes fresh water in a process we call the… Water Cycle . Salt water fresh water
12. The water cycle begins when energy from the sun heats ocean water. This heat energy causes evaporation.
15. Water from the oceans is constantly evaporating. Sunlight makes water evaporate faster.
16. When water evaporates, molecules of water become vapor and float up into the air. Only pure water can evaporate. The salt stays behind in the ocean. s s s s s s
17. Some vapor gets into the air as it is released from plants. This is called transpiration.
18. Water vapor is not visible in the atmosphere until it cools and condenses into clouds.
19.
20. Condensation is the next part of the water cycle where vapor cools and forms clumps of liquid water.
21. Warm air can hold a lot of vapor but when air cools the vapor condenses into bigger and bigger droplets.
22. Vapor condenses more and more as it gets cooler. Droplets get bigger and clouds get darker.
23. When the droplets get too heavy they fall to the ground as liquid or frozen water. This step in the water cycle is called precipitation.
24.
25.
26. Precipitation is how the land areas get fresh water that plants and animals need to live.
27. Some of the precipitation falls as snow. It may lay on the ground all winter then melt slowly to keep rivers running all summer.
28. Some precipitation falls as snow and does not melt for many years. Most of Earth’s fresh water is stored in glaciers .
29. Some precipitation seeps down underground to form aquifers. We can drill wells to get this fresh water. This is how we get our water in Pacoima. aquifer
30. Some precipitation collects in lakes, and ponds. Even if water is green, we call it fresh water. Fresh doesn’t mean clean, it means not salty .
31. A lot of the precipitation runs off into streams and rivers where it flows back to the ocean. This is called runoff.
32.
33. Eventually, all fresh water gets back to the ocean where the cycle of evaporation , condensation , precipitation and runoff can go on and on to supply fresh water to our planet.
34.
35. A cycle is a wheel that is constantly turning Earth’s water is in a constant cycle. It evaporates from the ocean, travels through the air, rains down on the land and then flows back to the ocean.
43. Earth’s atmosphere is warmer near the equator where the Sun’s ray are more direct. The north and south polar regions are colder. hot warm warm cold cold
44.
45.
46. Some parts of the world seem to be very dry, but even in the desert, there is water. Every living plant and animal contains water and there is water vapor in the air.
47. For millions of years, some of the rain water that falls has been soaking deep underground. You can find water in these aquifers almost anyplace you drill.
